Yeah, who could have predicted that to blow up like it did.
Nintendo stock still kicking ass

Super virus.
I almost killed a bunch of Pokemon wanderers on a bike trail this evening.
Time to buy NUGT (hit 122 today - down from 167 two weeks ago) and sell S&P500 or just about anything else.
I see absolutely no reason to buy gold or bet on gold substantially increasing in value.
I think that there's a difference between investing and trading. I'm trading - trying to buy low and sell high - not hold long term. I play both sides - market's near all time high so most stocks don't have much more room to move up so those I think about selling. Gold usually moves contrary to the market and (NUGT) has dropped $45 in the past 2 weeks so that's my signal to start buying that. I do this with money I can afford to lose - it's very risky but the return far exceeds the below and allows me to be able to afford to stay at home.
The majority of our (non real estate) assets are in Vanguard index funds - those I might glance at/reallocate once a year.
Another example is when Brexit happened - then I sold NUGT (high) and bought other stocks (low) which I'm gonna sell now.

How many times have people said stocks are at an all time just to see it go to New highs.
Apple up 7% in after hours
i know it's cool to hate Apple but they freaking print money. Crazy profits.
Thank you Ms. Yellen - NUGT hit 117 on Monday and 151 today.
First Solar keeps dipping.... Time to buy soon.
What's everyone think about solar energy going forward
All renewable energy is potentially, and already actually, a victim of BigCorp, esp BigCarbon, and their s in govt.
There are some extremely interesting, promising breakthroughs in solar from US govt (NREL, etc) and other researchers.
BigElectric obviously is trying delay, kill rooftop solar.
What it means to investors? hard to say. soft costs (sales, permitting, installation) are more important as hardware costs continue to decrease.
I love my system but distributed solar is gonna die on the vine. First Solar has a much better business model than Solar City.
Well it's up like 35% this year. Really just depends if you think a recession is coming in 2017 as many predict.
I'm not saying buy gold (I'm not) but that would be the reason to buy it.
Yeah, I definitely missed the runup but I think it's pretty much over. A lot of the big guys that started the run by buying on brexit fears are taking profits and getting out. There is absolutely zero inflation risk in the immediate future and no logical reason for gold to keep rising.
not dying, being killed nearly everywhere the BigElectricity and its political s.
The Coming Solar PV Revolution Will Be Electrifying

A Dem state like CA has very aggressive pro-solar policies, and the results follow
Welcome to California Solar Statistics

====================
Study: California could get 74% of power from rooftop solar
Rooftop solar panels could meet three-quarters of California's electricity needs and about 40 percent of the country's electricity needs, according to a new study from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory.
Researchers at the federally funded lab, which is based in Colorado, had estimated in 2008 that rooftop solar could generate 800 terawatt-hours of electricity per year, supplying about 21 percent of the country's current electricity demand.
Now they've upped their estimate to 39 percent, in an analysis sure to be embraced by clean-energy advocates who see solar power as critical to fighting climate change.

and then you have Repug state corrupted by BigOil:
Texas Could Get a Fifth of Its Electricity from Solar Panels, but It Has a Long Way to Go
Right now solar power in Texas — all of it, both the small, rooftop panels discussed in the federal report and the huge, utility-scale solar farms in the middle of nowhere — is nowhere near its potential. While solar capacity in Texas has been rising steadily, with growth predicted to accelerate rapidly, it accounts for a paltry 534 of the state's almost 72,000 megawatts of generating capacity, or 0.7 percent.
Texas has largely left it up to the free market to shrink the gap,

The big run-up (NUGT was $17 in January and hit $182 on 8/12) is probably over, but I sell when it goes up on every bad report (bad GDP, bad home ownership, bad worker productivity - less chance of the Feds raising interest rates) and buy when it drops back down or when one of the Feds opens their mouth and gives false hope of interest rate hike. Despite the rosy/optimistic view the Democrats are selling, I can tell with the rise of price of gold that things (negative interest rates, bad economic reports, etc) ain't so.
Sorry - had to edit - got confused there - need my morning coffee.

Imagine if you bought a 1000 shares of ULTA in 2012

Lumber liquidators just won in court
The Dell/EMC merger is going to be announced next week. Each EMC share will generate $24.05 plus an 11.1% share in VMW tracking stock. VMW closed at $72.84 today, meaning 11.1% is $8.08, for a total value of $32.13 yet EMC closed at $28.71. So the market is discounting the value of the tracking stock, but some are predicting once the merger is complete the total value of the EMC stock should be $30 or more. Should be a solid safe play for day traders next week.
I'm in the process of getting out of bonds as the bond funds I'm in are all at record or near record highs while the stock market is up and gold is also up. Just getting on the sidelines until I see which way the wind is going to blow. The markets, all of them, aren't making much sense.
