put money in emerging markets.
wait til there's a bottom price on high yielding stocks. i took my money out of energies.
at this point, i dont have a problem profiting off of other people's misery, especially since i wont be running for office. we might hit a recession mid-late 2019, as people from WSJ and charles schwab are unfortunately predicting.

Germany's Dax is having its worse month/year in a long long time. Euro markets closing in 15 minutes.

I have yet to max my tax advantaged accounts (401k/ira) so I don't buy individual stocks at present . However what I did do was increase my future contributions into short term bonds, that should be protected from volatility and act as cash. Then when the market looks to hit bottom, start buying up my index funds with it. Not as sexy but it should work.

Just remember, the sexy woman might look great, but if you screw up, she’ll stab you while you’re taking a shower.

So, looks like it was less of a Santa rally, and more like Santa showed up, crop dusted the room, locked the door and bounced.

I believe if the market closes down 500 today, yesterday loses its meaning. If it closes down 300, the jury is still out.
If it closes up, it is on!
The thing that concerns me now is the volume. It is not yet there. Volume rising will add validity to yesterday's rise.
Dow just went POSITIVE!!! Santa Rally still on!

I went with CGC and bought a little bit of stock there. I read Constellation brands put about 4 billion into them. They reported a loss for q3, but having a giant like that behind them means they can grease some wheels

lol come on man, give me more credit than that. It was a joke. The premise being anyone dumb enough to think “Trump’s got this” would be dumb enough to take out a loan for a luxury car down payment. The old adage is if you have to explain the joke, it wasn’t funny, so looks like I whiffed there.

good choice. yea, loss for the 3rd quarter, but there isn't too many spots that didnt take a loss.
big tobacco and alcohol are throwing massive money investing in weed. right now since all the weed stocks go from super cheap to relatively cheap, best time to jump into the future, cause WHEN its legalized at the federal level, its gonna get real.
colorado and cali already seen a boost in their tourism due to legal weed, not that cali needed the boost anyway. we can expect that across the nation in the future due to one industry emerging.
now i see why you're into the banking industry and all that. this is fun to talk about and such. markets going up and down, watching whose investing into what, gage and pdr mad at me for loving obama, etc etc.

Do California and Colorado have unconditionally legal marijuana?
Or is it like that failed Ohio bill where only X companies are allowed to grow it?

Unconditional.
In Colorado, people are allowed to grow their own plants and everything. Obviously it can’t be out in the open, like it has to be in a greenhouse with a lock on it or something similar.

Soybean farmers looking for a new crop... just saying.  We should legalize it, then unleash our farmers and big tobacco to bring primo to the world! Chinese can't win food wars if they have the serious munchies.

j/c
So, the DOW actually finished up 260 pts today?
Now, keep in mind, I don't care about individual day or week, or month gains. As all markets do, they go up, and they go down. I'm not a day trader, nor a month trader. Etc.

Yes, overall, but I’m just talking about the month of December.

Call your boy and tell him to handle China. Either drop the hammer and be done with it, or make a deal.

I am just hoping we get our money back from the "January Effect" which happens most years as people come back into the market for the new year.
Sorry on China, Trump told me his fortune cookie at dinner tonight said, "Deal or No Deal" which he took as "Not Yet".
