It was either this or sell stocks I really don't want to sell at this time.

We'll see GB, we'll see.Congrats to you for having the balls to stay in through all of this. It looks like my crystal ball could have been right, just a couple of months early. I already threw it out though after taking my lovely 7k+ loss.
Well that changed fast, again. 100 more at $51.33 for 800 at $64.63Keep trying to buy more but every time I put an order in it shoots off the low.200 more at $48.89 for 700 at $66.54

Dude, it might work but you are setting yourself up for some potential hurt. God forbid Trump decides not to do any tariffs. TVIX down over $3 per share today. Be careful.Well that changed fast, again. 100 more at $51.33 for 800 at $64.63
Oof, KMI handed it to me a couple years ago. Felt so good about it then got crushed.Anybody know why I'm still holding Kinder Morgan? I'm not a masochist, we can rule that out.
Careful, I had my ### handed to me about a month ago, as I was in SDS, SDOW, and QID. Lost about $7,400 all told. I've been expecting a downturn as well..."you can lose more money getting prepared for a downturn than the downturn itself"NREC34 said:Guys, I need advice on an idea for something to buy if tariffs get announced and China retaliates.
Right now I’m watching and trying to understand UVXY TVIX SQQQ RWM SPXU SDS and SH.
Is this a good list?
I sold all my Micron Tuesday and have a lot of cash. It seems like a lot of money could potentially be made if something really bad happens.
Yep. Look at Bob above. Bought 100 more shares that are down around $4 today. That’s a $3200 loss just today and around $16k overall.Careful, I had my ### handed to me about a month ago, as I was in SDS, SDOW, and QID. Lost about $7,400 all told.

Well the market doesn’t seem to care about the war today and I’ve done nothing. Maybe it’s due to a good jobs report idk. That good Biogen news probably helping out too.Careful, I had my ### handed to me about a month ago, as I was in SDS, SDOW, and QID. Lost about $7,400 all told.

Downturn will happen but timing stuff like this is too hard to go all in. Just as dangerous to be long when it turns as it is to try and time the downturn when there’s a little more left in the tank. I’m very close to taken a bunch off the shelf but I’m not betting the downturn.
So what makes you three think this market is timed to tank? I'm genuinely curious.Well the market doesn’t seem to care about the war today and I’ve done nothing. Maybe it’s due to a good jobs report idk. That good Biogen news probably helping out too.
Dont feel comfortable buying anything either because I’m worried the rug will get pulled any time.
It would be awesome to buy something bearish today then get super bad news on the weekend ?
Well I’m thinking the trade war has the potential. If Trump’s plan works though it’ll explode. So yeah it’s maybe dumb to try to play it.So what makes you three think this market is timed to tank? I'm genuinely curious.
All of my indicators are sitting on "They've gone to plaid".
This is possible. However the way I look at it: this is about like betting on a small biotech with one drug. It's a crapshoot and you have no idea which way it's going to go. In fact, it's probably a bit worse than that as the markets, in general, go up 70% of the time. And right now the macro economics are very bullish. Just on odds I'd be more apt to fade the trade war fears.Well I’m thinking the trade war has the potential. If Trump’s plan works though it’ll explode. So yeah it’s maybe dumb to try to play it.
Agreed. I believe the trade war fears are overblown. Nobody wins in trade wars, this is a short term concern and the market will recover once this is negotiated to better terms. Economy is rolling right now I would not want to be short the market right now.This is possible. However the way I look at it: this is about like betting on a small biotech with one drug.

All completely IMO.
I don’t think I said that. I just think that there could be a pull back. Maybe downturn is the wrong word. I don’t think it’ll continue at the pace it has been the past few years and I could easily see a 10% pull back like January. I haven’t pulled anything out and I’m certainly not shorting anything. I was warning them about the pitfalls of that. I’m just thinking about taking the profits at some point and refocusing. My biggest asset is about to rollover into an IRA so I’ll be cash in that in a couple weeks. I’m going to be targeting some specific stocks that I think will be excellent returns for the next 10 years.So what makes you three think this market is timed to tank? I'm genuinely curious.

I hope you got out. That’s just under a $20k loss.Well that changed fast, again. 100 more at $51.33 for 800 at $64.63

Trampco Corp out of Springfield. They're about to introduce some sort of robot butcher. Very little time to get in.Magic_Man said:Just sold one of my cars so thinking of putting a few grand more in the market vs let it sit in savings. What stocks or index funds to go with?

they are using sippy cups instead. no straws.Does anyone know what company Starbucks might use for their straws after their "no more plastic straws" policy takes effect?
This seems to be all the rage now. I see many companies and communities are banning plastic. Just trying to figure out which biodegradable straw making company will benefit the most.

It's not that they're going away from plastic straws. It's the disposable nature of the straws that is the problem. The current plan looks like thisDoes anyone know what company Starbucks might use for their straws after their "no more plastic straws" policy takes effect?

Agreed. One other thing to consider is that when 1st quarter earnings were reported earlier this year we were coming off a huge jump in the market in January. Earnings were very good but the market didn't push higher because valuations were already stretched. I expect earnings to be very good again this quarter and hopefully push the market higher.I honestly believe no one is sure the actual effect that the tariffs are going to have on companies, thus the see-sawing in the market of late.
Some read the headlines and automatically start selling shares in companies that may be impacted by higher cogs or sales overseas that may be lowered due to higher prices made by these taxes. Others come in a day or so later and buy the shares of companies back.
I am playing the wait and see game as I'm sure there are others, much smarter than me that can find the actual level in the price of individual stocks and earnings will of course be a better indicator of the actual effect. Guidance is a murkier issue at present, imho.
But, one thing I do believe is still being understated is the tax cuts made and how this is allowing companies to make oodles in earnings. I know a lot of big banks report tomorrow so that will be a really good indication of just how much money is being made and I am really expecting big numbers thrown about, beating estimates. That doesn't necessarily mean stock prices will jump up because I'm sure some expectations will be tempered by future earnings, but I think a lot of these earnings are going to be thrown back to shareholders in the form of dividends and bigger buy backs.
Yeah, and after doing some digging, it looks like the biggest player is Aardvark Straws, which is owned by Precision Products Group...which is a private company.Mystery Achiever said:It seems like it could be awhile before there is big business in biodegradable straws due to capacity. Last month. McDonald's CEO said "There isn't currently a viable alternative that's non-plastic at the moment, at the scale we need."
Also, anecdotally, one of the CNBC anchors mentioned being out to dinner an dthe kids couldn't get straws for their drinks because the restaurant stopped using plastic and the paper straws were back-ordered. I haven't seen any stories on what companies are involved
Doesn’t apple make everything there?All of FANG has essentially no Chinese exposure.
had same thought, but I assume FANG = Facebook Amazon Netflx Google.Doesn’t apple make everything there?
The other company they mention, Imperial Dade, is just a distributor., so I'm guessing they've distributed plastic straws, too. So the only bump they'd get anyway, would be if paper is higher margin.But they look private, also. You need a relatively pure play like Aardvark would have been to bump overall company performance.Yeah, and after doing some digging, it looks like the biggest player is Aardvark Straws, which is owned by Precision Products Group...which is a private company.
I'm sure something will emerge at some point.

FAANCG if you include cobalt blockchain imohad same thought, but I assume FANG = Facebook Amazon Netflx Google.
when you throw in FAANG, it includes Apple I guess.
On paper, yes. And if you sell, ?hypothetically speaking ... if a person owns 80 shares of amzn ... and share price goes up $36 in one day...
did that person just gain over $2800 in one day?
(asking for a friend)
Mentioned it a few weeks ago. Got in at low 18.05 when IPO released and sold at 44.00 when trade war fears started. Got back I at 30.50.Anybody in on IQ?
1,794.83 USD +39.83 (2.27%)Wow we may actually hit this today.
Half the products on AMZN are from China. That said, nobody seems to care.All of FANG has essentially no Chinese exposure.
