Calling a bottom in TLT

It seems like the main 2 investments here are the stock market and real estate.

What else do you invest in or have you considered investing in?

for example, bonds can be a popular investment (but seems like a bad idea now).

Saw this a couple thread downs.

A person that doesn't know what to invest in or what types of things u can invest in.... is saying bonds are a bad idea(due to the rates crap they've heard on TV). Never seen a better fade.

Just cause he doesn't know what he's talking about doesn't mean he's necessarily wrong lol... Still no reason for a young individual to be long bonds imo.

That's true, but you can kind of gauge what retail is thinking. (If there was only way to accurately do this, I wouldn't trade based upon anything else).

A person doesn't know what to invest in, but knows to stay away from bonds, somebody's gotta be feeding him that info and I think it's the media leading them to a slaughter, we'll see. I am not singling the poor fella out, a lot of people seem to be thinking the same way, that's where I like the fade.

edit: What I see playing out in my head is that the closer we get to Inauguration Day, yields/stocks/dollar down, bonds/gold up, they say some BS and then shift the blame of their targets failing on Trump.(Their GDP estimates once Trump is in Office is just not happening). I wouldn't buy bonds and then hold on forever, just think we see a sharp bounce recovering everything from election day.

I completely agree with you. Best way to detect bubbles, srs. I just don't think this is the scenario to apply it to.

He's also wrong in that forex is huge here and everywhere.

Interesting point here.

Also looking into the Canadian weed stocks, might give MJNA a look since it's medical and not recreational which gives it more promise.

The major moves in the weed stocks are in the past. There isn't another catalyst coming for awhile now. I believe the next government update is due in the spring.

I was riding ACB,CGC,MT, and APH. Those are the biggest players in Canada. We are also starting to see some consolidation and more share dilution.

It's anybody's guess if some of these smaller companies will fail or be absorbed. Keep in consideration that many of these players barely make a profit, have huge debts, and are constantly diluting their shares.

They are purely a speculative gamble at this stage in the process.

lots of pre earning drops coming

[MrDeafMuscle]

What do you guys like to do or recommend?

1) Buy 500 shares from a stock
2) Buy 150-170 shares from three different stocks

seeing this too.

anyone playing any earnings this month? IT has a good amount as do semiconductors


Dates for a few I'm playing:

Amazon - 1/26
AMD - 1/17
Apple - 1/24
Tesla - 1/25

NVDA - 2/15 (bit later, but made a solid chunk last year and still think it has legs)





edit: also, got cucked on my jnug and nugt when i sold at the open for an extremely small gain, if i held til close i would have been up around 500 between the two fuuuuu. when i pulled out i did buy a few of the more solid miners and gold stocks so did ok. picked up more nvda at what is imo a discount. kept trying to buy around 100-101 but order did not go through. pretty sure the ceo of nvda has an announcement coming out at the ces show so hopefully some positive news to break this down trend. ever since that 1 cuck analyst downgraded it it seems to have lost a ton of traction.

JPM, BAC, PNC, and WFC dropping earnings on my B-day.

Looking forward to a big rebound in pharma/biotech this year, as well as some strong M&A across multiple sectors.

Probably too young to get into this stuff.. But I want to make some of my own cash to use on the side and not be too reliant on my parents for my basic needs such as clothing, protein and small accesories. What can I start to invest in to make something like $10 a week?

Never too young, but you're bringing the wrong attitude to it. At your age, you shouldn't be investing in the markets for liquidity purposes, save that for when you're retiring. You should try investing for dat dere compounding.

Anyone watch 'battle of the charts' on bloomberg? I like the segment. It's funny tho, they used to pit a female against a male sometimes> with the female always getting annihilated. Now they've limited it to strictly same sex competitions. lol

Cool charts still. They have access to a lot of macroeconomic data that is handy for reference. Today's winning chart showed three trendlines in CPI for eurozone. Then the other showing that the Chinese yuan had a strong day yesterday, he just visualized it differently.

TSLA is a ride. I'm out for a small profit. Didn't like the news last night.

Peeled off a bit of my BAC position and put it into CERN.

What's a good % ROI that shows I'm on the right track?


When do I have to pay taxes on my earnings? If I do..

being young should work to your advantage, you get in an extra few years to compound your gains

NKE feels like the last kid being picked for baseball. They need to move a couple factories back to USA for a news pop.

Still looks due for some action.



F up 8% on their cancelled factory news yesterday.

2hrs later..

"Today at the Gigafactory, Tesla and Panasonic began mass production of lithium-ion battery cells," Tesla announced in a blog post on Wednesday.

Tesla said it will be mass producing its new high-performance cylindrical "2170 cell," which CEO Elon Musk has said is both the highest energy density cell in the world and is also the cheapest.

Production of battery cells for qualification purposes started at the Gigafactory last month, the company said. But today's production is meant for Tesla's energy storage products, including its Powerwall 2 and its Powerpack 2 energy storage products. And Model 3 is up next, with cell production for the vehicle's batteries scheduled to begin in Q2.

.
.

One interesting takeaway from this news is that by bringing cell production to the U.S., Model 3 will likely become the world's most American-made vehicle. After Tesla brings cell production from Japan to the U.S. for its vehicles, the percentage of content in its vehicles made in the U.S. could jump from around 55% to around 90% -- a figure that would give Model 3 more American-made content than any other vehicle.
.

By 2018, it plans to produce about 35 gigawatt-hours of lithium-ion battery cell capacity per year, or about as much as the rest of the world's battery production combined today.

Looking for a dip to re-enter at 220ish.

Tesla as a company is dog ****. Wouldn't be surprised if Elon Musk in a few years finds himself hauled up by the SEC on charges about misleading investors or even fraud.

investopedia, finviz, barcharts are all good resources to learn. I'd say start a papermoney account on thinkorswim for a few years, brah.

If you want to be passive then dividend stocks are what you're after. If you want lots of risk/reward then small caps.

A job or small biz would be more ideal for side cash.

This news cycle is nauseating. Panasonic partnership was announced last week, nothing.

Like, why wasn't this latest info released as it was planned. Instead, surprise! "Here's a panasonic battery cell, press."

Nike needs a street wear brand separate, imo. Like Y-3. They shouldn't dilute their brand so much outside of their core competency.

As pathetic as it sounds I hope you are right, only because I am still bitter about not having the capital to heavily invest in them several years back.
