    Need Advice

    How about at 5 months stay at 5 lots for a year? You have a bird in the hand (your analytics & data science consulting biz). You don't want to have to move more money into your account if a perfect storm occurs... Or get out of the day trading...Do a buy and hold of great stocks. Find them...

    Need Advice

    Glad that you are getting centered. My two cents (since we have talked before). You might want to keep the lots low and slow 1-5 at this time. If a 2007-2009 or Feb 7-9th hit, you don't want to be shaking your head again saying "what have I done"!! We know those day are out there...We know a...

    Recommend a book

    Just thinking out loud...If there are any books about Warren Buffet it might be good. He would buy when everyone was bailing on a stock or industry. I would look at this closed end mutual fund Royce Value Trust (RVT). I would look at their top ten stocks...See what they invest in and why...

    $TSLA

    So the NTSB should not be concerned with a sedan that stops 7 feet farther than a Ford F150 Truck?? Both Car and Driver and CR came to the same conclusion...?? And they can come up with a "software" patch in a few days?? Do you really believe this?? Is this a Chevrolet Corvair or a Ford...

    My *COD* - did nothing survive 2008?

    In 2008 my wife and I walked into our old bank (that was ready to go under). We withdrew all our money from it...Checking, savings, safe deposit box. We drove it over to Wells Fargo. Got diddle squat for our money...Maybe .2%. Safety first for us. Our old bank went under...We didn't know...

    Hershey (HSY)

    I use to work at a Hershey plant in California years ago (subcontractor). I would see some of their inner workings. I use to own some of their stock...Sold it for a fair gain way back when. A few thing that I saw from the company. Even though the Hershey Trust sold some of their stock back...

    Is "triple witching hour" as powerful now as it use to be??

    Years ago I would hear about...Beware of triple witching hour. The 4 times per year when all options would have an expiration on that date. Now so many more stocks have weekly dates, monthly dates. Just wondering if these Fridays (and Saturdays) are as strong (for moving the market) as they...

    Pilgrim's Pride PPC...What am I not seeing?

    I bought some earlier...It still looks cheap to me. What am I not seeing?? Is it the debt?? Too many shares outstanding? Is it because it's a boring/mature industry? Is it younger people are becoming vegetarians? Here are the stats...Any insight I would like to hear. PPC...Stock closed at...

    I owned some a few years back...It stood still for a year. Got out of it. We know someone will win big on 3D printing...We just don't know who?? Will GE or Siemens buy one of these companies for pennies on the dollar when a winner comes forth? It still may be a few years out. Sorry, haven't...
