easilyscan Posted March 29 Posted March 29 Any predictions on what's going to happen next ? A 6 month chart for the DJIA makes it look like a good time to be adding............. https://www.imagebam.com/view/ME1BOZ3C OTOH, A 12 month shows it isn't anywhere near the tariff tantrum lows of early 2025........ https://www.imagebam.com/view/ME1BOZ3F My only prediction would be that once oil prices deflate, the markets will stabilize.

Choppiness until crude stabilizes which of course means the Strait of Hormuz problem is solved. I'm still not convinced the underlying market conditions are all that great given the headwinds the oil shock has created. So we may have some lower lows to put in and likely one of those times you just start wading in a bit here and there to add along the way knowing you'll never pick the bottom but also long term you want to be long. 1 Quote
easilyscan Posted March 31 Posted March 31 Market Quiz: No cheating One company is going to do a 25-1 stock split next week. This company was doing so poorly back in 2004, they had to do something no company ever wants to do. A reverse 1-6 stock split. That raised the share price to around $25 It closed at $4,150.00 in after hours trading today. A return of 16,500% since the reverse split. Pretty nice recovery! Quote
easilyscan Posted March 31 Posted March 31 Huge response for the market quiz question...lol It was Priceline. A big beautiful day for the market, but who knows what tomorrow will bring ?

easilyscan Posted April 3 Posted April 3 27 minutes ago, thegeneral said: What happens to your stock when the company splits? Shareholders are supposed to receive stock in both companies. That's all I know at this point. Current Keurig Dr Pepper (KDP) shareholders are expected to own shares in both resulting companies following the planned split. The transaction, involving the acquisition of JDE Peet's and subsequent separation, will create two independent, US-listed entities: a "Beverage Co." focused on refreshments and a "Global Coffee Co.". [1, 2, 3] Key Details of the Split: Ownership Structure: Following the split, shareholders will likely hold stakes in both the refined Beverages entity and the new Coffee entity, separating the businesses into pure-play investment opportunities. Two Independent Entities: One company will focus on North American refreshment beverages (including Dr Pepper sodas), while the other will be a dedicated global coffee company. Transaction Status: The acquisition of JDE Peet's was finalized in April 2026, setting the stage for this separation. Value Creation: The split is designed to allow each company to trade based on its unique growth profile, potentially unlocking value for existing shareholders. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6] The plan is designed as a tax-free spin-off of the Global Coffee Co. from the main KDP beverage business. [1] 1 Quote

Details haven't been released yet, but on deals like this, it's rarely an even split. Specific share distribution ratios (e.g., how many new coffee shares per existing KDP share) have not been finalized or publicly announced as of early April 2026 Quote

Mark Davis Posted April 8 Posted April 8 Today is a perfect example of why you never bail out on long term holdings because of fear and emotion and thinking it always gets worse. Whether we've seen the bottom or not, some people are going to get left at the station having traded out of equities. Quote

I moved everything back into stock based mutual funds last night (3 large cap, and 2 international funds). I saved 5 figures having moved out of stock based mutual funds in late February (before I knew a war was on the horizon, just based on the height of the market). 1 Quote

I'm all for buying the dips, did a round of that myself. I'm not for trading out of long term holdings on these rounds. The turbulence isn't over, I can't guarantee we won't make a lower low, but these things tend to be runaway trains when they finally reverse. Quote

Grace Under Pressure Posted April 9 Posted April 9 Market overall is a piece of shiot since Donnie Dumbass started meddling with things so his inner circle (not you) could benefit from insider trading. S&P in October 2025: 6900 Today: 6700 Good job MAGAts. All this dope needed to do was do nothing. Dumb rally goers (you) were brainwashed into thinking transgenders would take over or something similarly stupid. Quote

The Psychic Observer Posted April 9 Posted April 9 Just now, Gepetto said: I was wondering why it always seems a day behind comoared to the regular market results. purchases and sales are also based on the updated price at the end of the day so if you bought back in after the TACO announcement Tuesday night then you missed Wednesday's gains. You bought in at Wednesday's closing price. 1 Quote
