Dude, when in a bull market, assume it's still a bull market until it stops...

Cumulative volume index, NYSE advance decline, Bolton Tremblay - when they're going up, the market is going up.

The SP500 couldn't even close below it's 20 day moving average over the last few weeks.

This market is INCREDIBLY STRONG with sector rotation into economically sensitive areas like materials, and out of bonds. There is still tons of bear money in treasuries that is waiting to come out of hiding.

nevermind....

when correction comes to town I like a NFLX 375X type short..I'll bail if it get out of hand but right now I'm fine. I'm more concerned the FDA regulation cut might send crooks like AVXS to the moon...you'd think I'm a bear but with a trunk full of longs it's more selective than that right here I'd hope.

Drew,

Do you think the new guy will continue 4 more years of positive market gains ?

 

[ZeeOSix]

^^^

... only if you think making chaos results in economic growth and stability.

 

[Gasbuggy]

ZeeOSix has such a hardon for trump.

 

[ZeeOSix]

^^^ LOL ... Just the opposite, more like a good sense of reality. So not sure where you're coming from.

The FANG index (FDN) still looks strong to me...no reason to short the stocks within yet.

 

[dblshock]

well that's what makes a market they say.

on the other hand, few saw Trump winning the election this guy's going to be provoked by a heavyweight and that's when we'll see how he takes one on the chin, probably get ugly for the market as diplomacy goes right out the window as a thing of the past.

My NUGT was up 11% today....might cash out tuesday for a 33% gain. My BMY is coming back to life. I still think some kind of correction is around the corner.

 

[dblshock]

now that every retail investor is in to his teeth it's haircut time, they're barking 'political uncertainty' no one really knows if this cat can reel it back in or does he just keep going, he may go over the top no one would be surprised...he sort of thrives on conflict, market will need to adjust if that's the case.

Seems like seeing you whining about him is a regular thing. I guess we have different ideas about what creates opportunity for investors.

"Regular basis"? ... LoL. Get back to reality. Let's take a look in a year (if he makes it that long) and see what running a country like a "business" results in. There's a lot more too it then trying to make the stock market go up, and all those other things entailed in that job can also have a big impact on the market. Being blind to the total picture can be dangerous.

 

[Mr Nice]

No matter which idiot is in charge... we still have to invest for the future and retirement.

I was checking my 401K today and my company match is 10.45 %

I didn't realize the match was that much, I thought it stopped at 7 %

Nice! IIRC, my co. did up to 7% on a graduated scale, I never had enough spare cash to get the full amount. We were raising 3 boys at the time.

 

[Oldmoparguy1]

Sold BMY for a small gain. Good enough.

Hey all looking for advice
Im 30yrs old have 5% match to 403b TIAA at work,

currently invested in TIAA
30% TRPGX
30% TRSPX
20% TSRPX
20% TRVPX
here i'm thinking of changing to more % TRPGX and getting rid of TSRPX

outside of TIAA i have a vanguard ROTH account currently at this

50% VTI
25% VOO
25% VBR

and I am thinking I want to do this....

40% VTI
20% VUG
20% VO
20% VIOG

thoughts? TIA

 

[Mr Nice]

What are your expense ratio (fees) on those TIAA funds in through work ?
Not all companies are charged the same fees for the same fund. Usually the bigger the company the lower the fees can be negotiated.

My employer has crazy low fees through Fidelity, but they demanded ultra low fees for their 401K retirement plan.


I have a lots of shares of VTI so I'm kind of biased to recommend VTI.

30% TRPGX 0.58%
30% TRSPX 0.31%
20% TSRPX 0.57%
20% TRVPX 0.57%

they are all basically 0.25% higher exp ratio than a similar vanguard fund

the vanguard funds I mentioned above look great compared to VTI
