We just try to win more often than lose. My most recent L is Noble Corporation plc (NE) bought it because of its attractive dividend yield & sold covered calls for some additional income. Problem is, the day I did the trade (December 30, 2024) oil was around $74 a barrel, today it's @ $67

That was me. I appreciate full disclosure in black & white. I belonged to an investing forum years ago and whenever I'd state my latest trade, there were a few members who would very subtly imply that I was just making it up. From that point forward, I added screen captures of the transaction to shut them up. I left that forum a couple years ago because they're a bunch of a holes who still don't allow any discussion on crypto, or investments in crypto. What a bunch of bootlicking puzzies. Regards

I finally found the site I was looking for. The only thing missing is a comment section, but I can live without that. Also love how fast it is relative to Yahoo finance. https://www.financecharts.com/stocks/CAG/growth/total-return Another + is they stick to the rule of KISS (keep it simple stupid) Link above is for ConAgra stock. Most sites that show returns for an individual stock do so using charts. The problem is, when it comes to a dividend paying stock like this one, those returns don't include dividend reinvestment, which can affect returns significantly. A little further down the page, they compare this companies returns to their competitors which is great if you're looking to buy a stock in a particular sector. The best part is that unlike most sites, it looks like all the features are available to use even if you don't register. I'll continue to pimp this site for selfish reasons. I want it to get enough traffic to stay open. PS: Appreciate those of you who suggested other sites.

No matter how much we spend on research, they'll never be a cure for cancer. Too much money in the treatment.

OK, so you're not one of those people who believes we'll have an additional hour of daylight tomorrow. I'm glad to hear that. I mistakenly thought you might be. BTW: 'Shifting' daylight hours so that we have more light in the evening versus the morning, does negatively affect a percentage of the population. Studies have found that people are at greater risk of mood disturbance, suicide, and being involved in traffic accidents during both bi-annual clock changes. Once we go back to standard time on November 2, I hope Donald Trump sees to it that we just leave the clocks as they are, and let the sun do its job.

It doesn't hurt me, but it bothers me because it's unnecessary. Don't tell me you're one of those people that believes we'll have an additional hour of daylight tomorrow.

What do you mean by how would we stop it come Monday ? You should check out the image I added. I have a feeling I added it 'after' you posted the reply. Look at it & think about it.

No. They'd stop this focking ridiculous bullshit, & we wouldn't spring forward an hour at 2 AM Sunday morning. In case anyone here is too focking stupid to realize it, the Earth/mother nature, whatever the fock you wanna call, has already started making the the amount of daylight longer. This began on December 21, the "Winter Solstice," which is the shortest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere. https://www.imagebam.com/view/ME106FFO

I only know the basics of technical analysis. I think it can be useful for individual stocks. Support/resistance levels, 50 and 200 day moving averages, etc Anything beyond that is BS in my humble opinion. The Dow was certainly do for a pullback. Will be interesting to see how it reacts if it touches the 200 day. https://stockcharts.com/h-sc/ui

Well done.

Speaking of SS & Medicare. I recently did an AI search regarding the unfunded liabilities for those 2 programs. https://www.imagebam.com/view/ME103QYE If you believe the results, & consider unfunded liabilities the same as debt, we're over 200 trillion right now.

I'm sure you're aware that the Dow Jones Industrial Average only consists of 30 companies & that a ridiculously disproportionate % of the gains in the S&P 500 & Naz are due to the magnificent 7 ruling for the past 1.5 decades. Point being, that just because the averages are doing well doesn't mean all stocks are doing the same. Some beaten down sectors like food....................................(ConAgra, Kraft/Heinz, Mondelez Etc,) have been rallying since tech started to teeter. Will that continue, wish I knew.

Let me guess, he's male, & the images are boys. Don't even have to guess when it comes to his political affiliation. If he's a teacher, he's a Democrat.

I made a lot of money on SOXL by purchasing it when the AI hype began. Could've made a huge amount, but didn't get out anywhere near the top. You mentioned Nvidia being the king of AI, and you're absolutely right. The problem (bubble) began when people believed all the semiconductor stocks in the ETF were going to enjoy the same success as the King. It didn't work out that way. Intel is a great example.

I'm no expert on the history of the federal reserve, but it seems like in the past (by that I mean pre-Y2K) they stuck to the job at hand & their main concern was doing right for the economy as a whole, not coddling the financial markets every time there's a blip on the radar. It's not popular, but I'm with Gepetto Isn't a big part of the reason inflation got so high because the federal reserve played the zero interest rate game for over a decade ? Are we certain that's good for stocks ? (long term) Japan has played the zero interest rate game for at least 4 decades. Japan's equivalent to our Dow Jones industrial average, the Nikkei 225, hit an all-time high of 38K in 1990. 35 years later it's at 38K Inflation has come down, but only the rate. I'm not sure why so many people are calling for the Fed to cut rates, & take the chance of reigniting it. My theory of why the federal reserve has gone from doing what's best for the economy as a whole, & instead focusing on the markets goes something like this. Go back 45 years (1980) 46% of workers in the private sector (non-government jobs) had a pension plan. By 2024, it was down to 15%, a drop of -67.39% Common knowledge here, but the nation has moved towards people in the private sector creating their own pensions via 401(k)-IRA, etc For that reason, I suppose it makes sense for the feds to try their best to assure the markets do well. On the other hand, as Cdub & I already mentioned, if the Fed fills the economy with cheap money, it will most likely reignite inflation. Not sure what would trigger it, but I believe a day is coming where our elected officials (on both sides) will have no choice but to make some very unpopular decisions regarding debt. If that figure it was only the 36 trillion quoted nowadays, we might have a chance to address it now with a little pain shared by all. Add current and future unfunded liabilities relating to Social Security and Medicare (175 trillion) & I see no way that this is going to end other than very badly. Hope I'm wrong.

Reduce it to pill size and you'll have a winner!
