I do have a brokerage account and use it to generate some realized gains and income through the year. I think a mixture of both is fine, but still believe mostly in index funds as well. Just thought those touting actively managed funds coming back as preferred investing methods over index funds was interesting.

It ended up going public on Dec. 12th. Not a great time obviously. It IPO'd at 14 and instantly dropped to 12. The $14 valuation was about a 20 billion market cap. Earlier in the year they'd thought 25-30 or more. When I looked into it, it seemed amazing so I bought some on 12/18 at 12.95. It's actually profitable already. Tencent bought out their biggest competitors in 2016 so they own the top 4 music app/sites in China. They have exclusivity agreements with Sony, Warner, etc. where they can deny any competitors rights to play songs. 70% revenue growth with 800 million MAU Earnings are tomorrow after hours. I'm up 49% in a few months. I'm going to assume it'll pull back unless the outlook is amazing but I think I'll hold and see how the report looks. |

Medtronics (MDT) took another small hit today. Their upper mgmt keeps buying back massive amounts of stock. $6B last week. They’ve been doing this for awhile. I noticed it a couple of years ago and bought in around $76. Thinking about reupping. IT had some resistence around $100 a share, but I think it could bust through that.

I saw this article:
https://www.cnbc.com/2019/03/19/pass...aboolainternal - Passive investing automatically tracking indexes now controls nearly half the US stock market and it raised a question for me. What would happen if 100 percent of assets were in index funds?

So pissed I didn’t put a ton of money on several stocks in December when things were way down.
Amazon, wayfair, Apple. Goddamn all of those stocks have bounced back big time in the 1st Q.

Everyone's did. My investment account was so bad my guy called and asked to move things around to show a loss. Of course I said yes. Now all better.

Are we recovered yet? I manage three accounts and two of them are about 0.3 percent off their 2018 peak, but the third took a real beating and is still down about 4 percent.

I'm feeling a crash coming. I cashed out about 35% of my portfolio to cash-like vehicles; CDs, stable-value funds, etc.
Seriously considering buying some Gold and Silver...

Feel like I need to keep a list of well run companies with good history and buy in when they dip and start to come back up.

I talked to a guy that sold his 2 combines and bought silver on this ****s advice. He didn’t get in at the top but got goddamned close. Anybody that did get the run up almost certainly kept it too long. I’m sure someone made money but the Poeple that bought it bought it because the economy was going to crash and it never did. And most took a bath. Cash is good enough. The thing no one selling the shit ever tells you is that gold is a commodity market not an economic indicator. Look at any commodity chart. There is never sustained growth. Just swings. /not a professional. But seriously. |
