OT: Stock and Investment Talk

What would you have the US/NATO do? Let Russia take over Ukraine and hope they stop there?
it's none of our business, NATO Is wrong here, up until 2022 start the Ukies were under UN sanctions for crimes against humanity for massacring their 'own' people in the Dunbas and other regions, how about Europe bear the load.....

At least Finland is finally in NATO now. If Russia had anything resembling democracy the war would be over already. But the “democracy bad” folks need to be heard lol.
democracy is bad as it tramples the rights of the minority.

civic didn't take too well with you did it?
 
Von Clausewitz said it best and it still holds true in that economics, politics and war are merely extension of one another forever intertwined.
 
You guys really want to get this thread moved to the CE board?
you're issues is that your ideology is at the root of the issues facing the economy/world and simply refuse to acknowledge that your failed party politics are driving economic conditions.

America first worked for a long time and we need a bit of that now
 
Pretty significant pullback from Apple.

I'm expecting more like this across multiple sectors as inventories are very high for many sectors

Agree 100%. President Trump got so much done, with those 20 scheduled Infrastructure Weeks that led to well…umm…well it was the reason sleepy Joe passed the 2022 CHIPs ACT that will have semiconductors made domestically!

China starting to be concerned about data security from Tesla. If China starts restricting Tesla cars, Tesla will fall fast. Tesla producing 52% of their cars in China.
 
Brought a little of MSFT at 282 and placed buy limits at 275 and 260. Sold most of my MSFT at 290.

Added to my long term F position: 750 @12.85 today. They have a strong cash position and their EVs are a hit.

I’m looking for a short term swing trade on a technical breakout to $14.

MSFT looked bleak for quite some time…until inflation started subsiding, the dollar started falling and Chat GPT became the “leader” in AI chat bots. It went from 220 to 280 strictly on multiple expansion. My avg cost basis is 297 so I need to wait for some good earnings news. Search engine revenue will have to drive surprise “beat” near term. I’m hangin in at least til it hits 350 again.

You brought up MSFT $300 before and I didn’t think it would reach it this time. It took quite some time to break $300 when it was going down and may take time to break thru. I expect MSFT to go down before moving back up. Longer term it will do fine.

Careful on F. The financials of the company are a mess. Their EVs are unprofitable and they are having trouble scaling production.

Anything can be traded, but F is likely a poor long hold.
 
1 yr BOIL chart looks like a widow maker.
Nat gas getting a bounce after dipping below $2 again. This is the 3rd time now it is bouncing like this. Hoping to catch the next sub-$2 move. Missed this one, but this time it was under $2 only for a few heartbeats.

Yeah, I think at some point it will be an overpriced stock (well over 2 trillion market cap again now…sheesh!) but they seem to be on the right side of any AI impacts. I think Cathie Wood is a bit loony in her approach, but MSFT is certainly good enough for a Robinhood account at 32X earnings lol.
Edit: ARK Innovation ETF includes Robinhood but not MSFT so I feel good about MSFT.

I was just watching a clip of fast money from CNBC today and Steve Grasso made an awesome comment... "Why do they (politicians) go in (congress) not millionaires and come out millionaires?" And then the host said... "Someone should do a study on that".

Looking like the Dow run to 40k+ has begun. ATHs very real possibility in 2 months.
Agreed!

The bow starting to break on inflation as the math of the garbage gov'ment metrics slowly begin to catch up with reality. Literally, the only thing holding up CPI headline and core is the woefully pathetic shelter metric. OER dropping like a rock for months and months, but still up via CPI. LOL! Nobody believes this garbage anymore.

Plan accordingly.
 
Warren Buffett is on CNBC now. I’ve not seen him speak since before the pandemic. At age 92, he still has his wits about him (although he’s lost some of his fastball mentally) and he has the ability to move the markets.

Still 5 percent YoY and wage inflation is still strong. I think it is still one more rate hike.

Meanwhile the housing sector is heating back up. Might need to look at a short term REIT swing trade.

Use realistic shelter data and that YoY is barely 3%, perhaps under. Shelther is 30% of headline and 40% of core. Everyone knows this and can do the math. Last month CPI Core YoY was 2.6% using real-time OER data.
