Boring dividend stock, well, ETF, is PFF. It's a blend of preferred stocks.  

I like these preferred  stock and other fixed income plays, I just get a little nervous if all of mine come from the same sector, which is why PFF is good boring play.

 
Becoming cliche but SWHC , RGR , and TASR should be large volume movements tomorrow.  More and more guns will be on the streets from this.   :no:   :cry:   

 
Strong rally today....across all sectors. Broad and real. Stocks look expensive for the most part and that 10 year is insane. I can't believe we are clipping at 1.36% right now.

Not healthy man. Just not healthy at all long term. Fed seems content on being a one and done on interest rate raises. Maybe we get one again in December? Swim with caution, build cash or park cash in a good GNMA fund and/or ultra short muni-fund so you can get something while you wait for a sell off.

Any recommendation of a muni-fund that would work with a Roth? TIA...

No reason to have a muni in a tax deferred account. Use a vanguard GNMA and I will look for another no load ultra short federal fund for ya tomorrow. Safe haven type of parking lot's.

What are some of your guys' position on dividend stocks (meaning the types investors typically buy for the sole purpose of the dividend performance)?

Bubbly for the most part.  Lots of people piling in in this ZIRP environment.  No telling where the elevator will stop, but the first step out will be a doozy.

Munis are good because of their tax free status.  For tax deferred you'd want taxable bonds, so BND, TLT, PTTRX, (among a zillion others to choose from), etc.

Is the FDA going to let them resume the trial at some point?

No guarantee, but the changes they asked for were minor, probably to clarify the pretreatment with chemo since the deaths were after an additional drug was added. They said they will respond to the fda within a week and then they have 30 days to respond. 

But just because they resume doesn't mean the deaths weren't due to the CAR-T cells although Novartis hasn't seen it with theirs and they are further along. 

 
Hell I'm still thinking about bowing out of the market for now.  Was seriously thinking about it after Brexit.  

I know it goes against all teachings but watching that #### do down sharply again is not something I want to do ...

I shaved off all my profits on AAPL and Citi today.  As long as you do it wisely, I can't argue with you.  I can't find a reason to buy anything, and I can't find a reason to run for the hills either.

You are going all cash in everything?

I've made a killing on it over the past few years, but the PE is so out of whack that I think it's only a short term play.  It's going to take a bigger dive than most when we hit a downturn which is why I wouldn't want to be too long.

I haven't made a move yet.  I am thinking of two paths:  1)  Sell all but what I mention below; 2)  Sell most but keep up to a third in the market (not sure about mix of Vanguard stock/bond funds)

I have to admit, I'm a bit frozen ...and will have a lot of transactions.  

Will keep the 30% or so I have in individual municipal bonds and will likely keep the Berkshire/Hathaway I have (Class B).  Will ladder some 1 year and less CDs, look for some more muni-bonds (not much out there good) and then go rest cash - maybe 30% or so.

I hear you, I'm way up too and it hasn't been that long since I started buying which along with an epic PE, makes me nervous.  Of course I've been calling for their downfall for about a decade now....soo.....

 
Novice  here _ are there any really low risk mutual funds you guys would recommend?  I'm thinking money market/CD 1-2% type things with near 0% chAnce of losses?

Set a stop limit at 27.19 here as it was falling pretty quickly this morning.  I'm a buy once again if I see <27

It's about the future, not current prices.

You're looking for something like SHY - 1-3 year treasury bond ETF.  These will be the least interest rate sensitive due to their duration (the opposite would be TLT, which invests in long bonds).

More fake market bs that nobody will tell you. The only ones buying stocks are the central banks, with money they create out of thin air. When this thing crashes, it will crash hard.

Personally,  I see it as a very bullish signal when we see equity outflows we have seen over the past 6 months.  History has shown when people are this bearish the stock market is up close to 90% of the time a year from now.  All bull markets come to an end, I just think we are not quite there yet.  Once equity inflows start coming in and people are late to the party I will start trimming back.

 
I wouldn't get too worried until you see a $SPY weekly close below $200, and then a $SPY monthly close below $195.  Individual stocks will vary of course...just talking general market trend.
