Nice hit on DDD SLB
Click to expand...
Thanks.  All of 3D stocks are going parabolic.  DDD reports on 3/15 which is also my youngest son's birthday who was a trouble maker from the moment he attempted to exit the womb getting the cord wrapped around his neck.  I remember that day thinking, that whole "beware the Ides of March" thing, might have something to it.  Hope not. :)

 
Took some FCX off the table to lock in profits. Still holding a good chunk. Might I even have a chance in this year's FBG stock challenge? FCX powering through $10 easily.

PLG continues to surge. It's up about 200% in the past few weeks.

Does seem like metals in general are finally catching bids.  Used to own PLG and other platinum miners, but gave up the ghost long ago.  May be time to re-engage.

Starting to get very interested in lithium again.  

Prices of lithium carbonate -- an industrial chemical used in lithium ion batteries -- have surged 47 percent in 2016 from last year’s average, according to London-based Benchmark Mineral Intelligence Ltd. Two of Australia’s five best-performing stocks in the past 18 months among a Bloomberg Index of 2,035 listed companies are developers of lithium materials operations. From 2015 to 2024, the market to supply lithium ion batteries for light vehicles may total $221 billion, according to Navigant Consulting Inc.

“There’s a step change going on right now,” as electric car sales rise and hybrid vehicles switch to lithium ion batteries, said Michael Fotios, executive chairman of General Mining Corp., which is seeking to begin exports by July of the lithium-bearing mineral spodumene from Western Australia’s Mt. Cattlin project. “Raw material supply hasn’t kept pace, and probably can’t keep pace with the projected demand.”

When did the free ride rules get enacted? I swear a few years ago when I had 500 free TD ameritrade trades I was able to flip left and right. Prefer to keep a smallish cash account as this is kind of like a gambling hobby to me. 

Bought 600 SSRI yesterday at 5.90 as I thought the $0.72 haircut on their acquisition news was a bit much.

Why this is the most untrusted bull market ever

This is why it's more difficult than usual to "value" the market IMO.
Click to expand...
This is exactly why I don't see the end of this bull market in the near term.  There has been 6 straight years of net outflows on US equity funds.  I believe the end of this bull market will come once we see large net inflows as people will be too late to the party.
Click to expand...
Um, 2013 set a record for inflows, and 2014 was net positive as well.

The ECB gave us another "fix" this a.m., but we're already coming down from the temporary high.

They're out of tools... Should they face a crisis, they have nothing left they can do.

Agreed. The economy needs to just be left to grow and contract on it's own. I am of the belief the Fed left interest rates low too long. After 2013 I was pretty shocked they did not start to look at raising them slowly. Too low for too long. However, with that being said people absolutely need income and stocks provide that. There are still sectors that offer some good value. Certain sectors are over priced. Good stock pickers and not indexers do well in the late stages of bull markets.

We are in the last innings. I still maintain we finish this year strong and back near the all time highs and we squeeze out one more year of positive returns in 2017. Think about the amount of risk you have to take today to get a (after fees and taxes) 5-6% return? A lot. It is the reality that this zero interest rate environment has put investors in. I am talking specifically about people at or near retirement. Those of us with plenty of time (10 years plus) till retirement.....no worries long term. But those living off their savings are in a real tough spot and any significant downturn can be a disaster to their income lasting the rest of their life.

I am not super bullish short term. But again I think second half of this year and next should be OK. 3rd and 4th quarter of 2017 I am targeting to really re-position portfolios and brace for some serious storms.

Seems you were off a day, gb.

Guessing you're not complaining.  :pickle:

I forgot what a PITA these commodity ETFs are around tax time.  Just rec'd two Schedule K-1's last week and still waiting on three more.

 
Can someone explain these K1's to me... I bought some UGA this year and took a loss. I did my taxes without the K1 form, what are the ramifications of this?

If you get a K1 from an ETF holding, you have to enter it in one of the income sections (assuming that you do TurboTax or something like it).  Each one has a similar number of entries as a W-2 and they don't import from your portfolio company, or at least they didn't for me.  So, it arrives late and is manual entry.  Not the worst, but annoying if you are anxious to get your refund.

The K-1 appears to be an abbreviated income statement for the investment. It contains what % of the portfolio you own, your share of income/loss.  It helped my refund by entering it too.

Last year I submitted my taxes before all them were in as I wasn't expecting a K-1 to arrive in April.  I didn't go to jail.

 
I don't do turbotax... I have a guy I see. I've received two of these things so far in the last week, I think I may have a few more on the way, honestly I don't even know (I made a lot of stupid trades in 2015).

I guess I just need to go see this dude next month and file an amended return.

If I don't add these, I assume a bill will be arriving in the mail or someone may be diving deeper into my return?

Also, any K1 should just arrive in the mail like the ones that just popped in?

IRS isn't going to audit you because your 1k investment kicked out a K1.  Most of these forms usually end up costing them money anyways since they are allowing you to write down your ownership costs as an expense against income  Same thing for the oil royalties, you write down distributions vs depletion.  Also saves you money.  IRS would be happy if you just said #### it.

I just sold all of my DDD and BAC - thinking about reinvesting into the DIS for long term.  1.43% div is better than my checking account.  Still looks like a strong growth stock to me....Are we crazy?

DIS is going to squeeze every dollar out of Star Wars like they do everything else.  Small dividend plus I think there's a lot of room to grow.  ESPN has been the drag on the stock.
