It amazes me how the financial media (like CNBC) spins normal market fluctuations.
IF MARKET UP 1%: They quietly say "The market rose 1% today..."
IF MARKET DOWN 0.5%: Headlines scream: "STOCKS CRUSHED!...STOCKS TUMBLE!..."
Agreed.

Agreed.
It looks like we will see more volatility in the markets this summer. Because of this, I am freeing up some cash, just in case. I did really well in Dec., & Jan. I expect to be ready for Oct.

I'm 100% pedal to the metal. I have 100% of my Roth IRA in IJR! Small caps are breaking out of their consolidation and there is a 6 year high short interest. Hopefully it should take off for another explosive 5-10% move as shorts get squeezed out. The market LOVES the fact that Comey butchered himself in his testimony. Big fat nothing burger.
We're potentially in the strongest secular bull market in history, similar to the 1990s. The consolidation from 2000-2013 will quickly, as in probably the next year or 2, get doubled percentage wise, as typically happens when markets breakout from a huge consolidation.
I already maxed out all of my retirement contributions for the year; Roth 401K and IRA. Set and forget.

Drew,
I'm also full throttle maxed out in all retirement accounts.
Late last year I rebalanced into 50% large cap, 25% mid, 25% small in my 401K.

You're close to retirement age and 100% in the market?

dishdude,
I think you're confusing me with another person. When did I say I was close to retirement ?
100% of all my investments are in stocks/index funds.... 0% in bonds. Made a TON of money these past 8 years.

Data center REITs. Digital Realty (DLR) and Dupont Fabros (DFT) are the best two because of their core (transport, infrastructure) focus which attracts bigger players (Amazon, Google, FB).
The CES convention started today and from the looks of it, personal data usage and storage needs will increase SIGNIFICANTLY in the coming months due to... fitbits (morons sharing so much about their lives), the internet of things, more smartphone apps talking to cloud-based servers, and every new device spying on everything and spewing such inordinate amounts of data, no responsible IT org. would dare processing this in-house. So cloud it is.
Oh and and self-driving cars as well and partially driver-assisting systems from Denso, Aisin, Johnson Controls, Valeo, Honeywell... will only increase the need for data transfer and more data centers.
Since Data Center REITs pay no corporate tax (pass-through entity provided they pay out 90% of profits as dividends), they have an unfair competitive advantage and the most profitable corporate shell for data centers.
So basically Data Center REITs are a high dividend security which is also a growth security (value appreciates). Usually you have either, but here you can have both.
I see it as a way to turn the cloud and smartphone frenzy into dividends in my pocket.
Please don't take my word for it, do your own research.
DFT up nearly 2% today on record 4Q results, breaks all times high.
It was easy to see this coming. No surprise here.
DFT up over 10% Friday on acquisition by competitor datacenter REIT DLR.
Who got in both DLR and DFT datacenter REITs when I recommended them back in February?

Take a look at CLM. Was fine on Fri. close, it's been selling off all week. I'm at a loss as to what caused this. Something similar happened last year. Anyone have an explanation?

Apple = 2.40%
Amazon = 2.05%

a few in the group are hangin' out, and checking out the market, and bitog.one suggested that I let bitog know about the medical/legal m/jane , and cbd oil producers.
there are many Canadian licensed companies, and even a couple of etfs on the tsx, amd tsx:v exchanges. most of us here have made a good buck on some of these, averaging 300 - 800% gains in the last about 10 months. most are penny stocks, so a small amount -- say 10 or 15 k., will give a good return. do your own dd. it's worth a look, as the returns are good.
i seldom look at this thread, so if this has been mentioned, please ignore this post.have a good evening.

Why be nervous about not having any cash and be fully invested ?
