Ð...Looking to buy $WSO around $373. If I miss it, I miss it, but looks promising and they just raised their dividend.
Currently $382.41
Support at $367 or so.
Price target $460.
Ð......What the heck is this??? $DWAC.....is this a legit company? A manipulation machine? Who is funding this?
Ð....I wish I could figure out how to trade $NFLX better. In looking at it, I've:
Lost 35% with my first trade on it
Gained 46% on my second trade on it
am currently up 13% on my third trade.
All the while, with all the massive swings, I could be doing so much better overall with it.
Ð....$WMT splitting 3-1 on Friday. Also, increased it's dividend for the year. Nice!
That's the good news....the mediocre news, I'm only up on the stock about 24% in 3 years.
Ð....wellll, guess I can't buy $AMRRY. Its halted....
Ð...I've been in search of the rare earth stock play. Is it $AMRRY? Currently trading at $14.50.
Could be very early on this one (although it just broke out from around $5 the last couple weeks.
Maybe I'll take a flyer, but I hate buying pure speculation stocks.
FWIW, every other rare earth stock or ETF I'm looking at now are tanking, so why is the one above spiking in value??
Reminding myself (and if anyone is reading this) to be very cautious.
Ð....A follow up on $SMCI.....as predicted, it hit over $1000 per share then the selling faucet was turned on. Currently $735 and bouncing around. Perhaps I should just move on from this as much of the trading now will be the late comers being stubborn, however, if it gets back to around $550 I'm interested again. No special reason for that number...may be $595 that piques my interest....but now the company is well known, so need to find the next hidden treasure.
Ð.....I picked up some $COF this morning. Currently $135.82. Support around $118, but I think the next move is up. Just bought out Discover card.
I think this has some room to run. Current dividend yield of 1.77%
Ð......Guess I should post an update on $SMCI here....
Predictions were the stock would go to $1000, so sure enough, it did (actually $1077) then everyone started dumping. I missed out on a new SUV by selling too soon (it was going to be a nice one....fully loaded and all). But I digress....I did very well with it, riding it from $37 to $487.
Anyway, I believe it will pull back quite a bit. Probably best to move on from it and find the next big thing....but if it gets cheap enough, I'll buy back probably half of what I had.
One of my very largest losses years ago was in a floating rate short term bond fund. They were advertised as not moving more than 3% in value either way with a small dividend that beat money market. Instead they all went through a major crash. Going from $10 per share down to around $2.70.
NEVER buy a derivative product. Ask anyone who owned a CMO.

Ð.....Is $PFE a buy here? Motley Fool thinks so. I'm down in it, (about 30%), but it does pay a 6% dividend, so I think I will double up my position to lower my avg share price.
Of course, $LLY is running like gang busters for me. This is why I dumped my $IBB. Trying to buy a pharma ETF is lunacy. One company goes up, another comes down.
I was watching a TV show last night about the Titan...which was the Sub that was taking passengers down to look at the Titanic.....before it imploded.
Ironically, a lot of similarities between it and the Titanic, one being, both had the owner of the company on board because they were convinced it was 100% safe. Only difference being, the Owner of the Titanic got off the ship with the women and survived.
Very interesting stuff, but one thing got me thinking....it was $250k to take the trip on the Sub, per person....they claim this was in line with the price of First Class on the Titanic, but from my math, riding on the Titanic first class was more the equivalent of about $115k (pretty danged pricey).
Anyway, I digress.....my thought was on, how many millionaires now exist that would think $250k isn't too pricey for the ride. There are about 24.5 million millionaires in the U.S. alone! They say the number is skyrocketing! How soon before having a million dollars doesn't even become a measuring stick any more?
Very soon $10 million will be the new millionaire....and I mean SOON!
BTW, it takes about 17 million pesos to equal a million dollars....just wondering where we are headed.
If I'm not being clear....there is way too much money in the economy!!!
If you think you have enough to retire....refigure.,,,,just to be safe. Although, I think if you are over 75, you're probably safe. maybe.
Ð.....BTW, something is going on with our government right now and missile defense companies. I just bought some $RTX at $91.50.
I'm noticing many of the aerospace companies on the move. I'm sure we'll know soon enough.
Ð.....Just noticed my $PLTR has made a big jump this week.
Like SMCI I didn't buy enough to bother mentioning it, but should have.
Bought on 10/11/23 at $17.97. Currently up about 35% around $25.
I guess I'll hang onto it and see where it goes.
Ð.....not sure if I posted these already, but waiting on $RTX to pullback under $90 and looking to add more $PHO soon.
RTX currently $91.53....PHO currently $59.78
Ð......I have many stocks I prefer not to watch. I might be enticed to do something stupid like sell. Just looked at my $LLY.
Put $100k into it (mostly back in 2019). Took the dividends on about 90% of it and reinvested 10% of it (don't remember why). Should have reinvested all since the dividend has doubled.
Anyway, just noticed this morning it's worth $676k.
Remind me why anyone needs penny stocks?
Ð......$META has tested my patience a time or two, but glad I've held. Just announced their first dividend ever, although it's not much. It's an indicator it is moving more to the blue chip category.
I bought in 10/21....up about 50% Although it's up $85 today!
Ð......Some thoughts on the foreign market....
China keeps trying to spend its way out of their market decline. ...it's still not working...
China vows to keep up spending in 2024 after stimulus cut:
China pledged to keep spending this year despite a property market slump weighing on key government revenue sources, raising hopes that fiscal expansion can provide more support for a slowing economy. Fiscal spending in 2024 will be maintained at a “necessary intensity,” Ministry of Finance officials said Thursday. Hours later, data showed that Beijing withdrew stimulus last year, with 2023’s overall deficit at 8.84 trillion yuan ($1.2 trillion). That was lower both in absolute terms and as a share of gross domestic product than the previous year, according to Bloomberg calculations based on official data. The more conservative fiscal stance reflects government concerns about debt, and expectations that consumer spending would drive demand for goods and services after the end of coronavirus restrictions. But economists have argued that weak government stimulus amid a property downturn was a key cause of sluggish demand and deflation. Bloomberg.com
England pretty much status quo in a fairly flat market
BOE REACT: Cuts getting closer, first move likely in 2Q24:
OUR TAKE: The Bank of England is warming to the idea that it will likely be able to cut interest rates this year. A dissenting vote for a cut, softer guidance and a forecast that endorses the idea of multiple rate reductions in 2024, all support the view that the next move is likely to be down, it’s just a question of when. The Monetary Policy Committee held its benchmark rate at 5.25%, in line with our view and the consensus expectation. The vote split was 2-7-1 -- a significant shift from the 3-6-0 vote in December. Catherine Mann and Jonathan Haskel still favored tighter policy but Megan Greene joined the majority in voting for no move. We think Swati Dhingra’s decision to vote for a 25-basis-point cut is more significant. She cited the growing risk of overtightening. A look at past easing cycles indicates that, on average, it takes two more meetings before the majority sides with a dissenting vote for a cut. Bloomberg.com
Euro-area prices slow less than expected, clouding ECB cuts:
Euro-zone inflation eased less than anticipated at the start of the year -- testing investor expectations that the European Central Bank will begin lowering interest rates as soon as the spring. After a pick-up in December driven by base effects, consumer prices rose 2.8% from a year ago in January, Eurostat said Thursday. Core inflation, which omits volatile components such as food and energy, also abated less than envisaged, to 3.3%. The ECB predicts more disinflation this year, but at a much slower pace than in 2023, when price gains plummeted to as low as 2.4% in November. It still only expects to reach its goal in 2025. Bloomberg.com
Ahhh, Now I believe this is the place to be looking to...Latin America. Mexico looks interesting as well as South America. Still early enough to make some money here...
Three Latin America Central Banks cut rates as Fed stays put:
Three of Latin America’s key economies plan to keep easing monetary policy after delivering another round of interest rate cuts on Wednesday, in sharp contrast with Federal Reserve signals that US borrowing costs may only fall after March. Brazil lowered the benchmark Selic rate by half a percentage point for the fifth straight time and promised to keep the same easing pace for the next two meetings at least. Chile delivered a jumbo cut of 100 basis points while Colombia lowered rates by a quarter-point, both of which were split votes with the minority backing faster easing. Latin American central banks are pulling away from their counterparts in advanced economies, reaping the benefits of early and aggressive monetary tightening campaigns in the wake of the pandemic.

Ð....I REALLY need to quit watching $SMCI!.....it's been about a week since I sold, and probably 4 days since I missed my 10 minute window to get back in. Sold at $487 as a genius. Today it is $577, (up another $48 today) and I'm doing the math at how much I left on the table. I swear it's gonna come back down to fill the gap! I swear....well I think...hope..it will.
Ð....I've been touting South America lately as an area to look to invest, but just noticing today that Mexico has broken out. One way to invest is $MXY, although I guess $MXF is much easier, or $MXE if you are looking for a tad more conservative.
Ð.....Well dang it. Sold my $SMCI around $487. Felt like a genius for a day as it pulled back to my $460 buy back point, which I missed. Today ( a few days later) and it hits $554! Now I don't know if I ever get a chance to get back in.
I really think it's GOT to pull back again.....doesn't it?
Ð.....someone here on IHUB mentioned $NVO. Actually, looks pretty good, but I'm going to watch it for a bit. Gotta remember to check on it next month. Prefer to wait until after it pays its dividend in Feb or Mar.
Ð....so, one of the things I find about IHUB to be truly valuable, is the ability to look back in time, which I've been doing this morning.
I don't recall at all this poster I'm responding to, but he made 5 posts on this board. The two things I've noticed is...
1)he asks about $GOL. I have zero memory of ever looking at this stock he asked me to look at, and I told him I didn't like it at the time. Ironically, I've been noticing lately that Latin America is becoming an interesting place to invest in, and this GOL currently at $2.72 just may have some potential. I see it is currently filing for Chapter 11, and it's a huge gamble how common shareholders come out of it, but it is worth watching. I do see the company turning things around.
2) the other thing I noticed was, the poster Briboy, is marked as deceased now. Based on his pic, he looked young, but who knows? I don't even know how IHUB knows he's deceased. OK, now I'm depressed.
Ð....Geeez!!! I really gotta take myself more seriously and listen to myself! At this time, JBLU had just dropped from $16.11 to $6.61. One year later and the stock was trading at $21.73! I guess all the airlines rebounded, but not like JBLU.
Except that Brazilian airlines the poster asked me about.
Dang it! $SMCI Hit $459.70 just a bit ago and missed it!
Can't even go to the bathroom for a bit any more!
Now it's at $482 again.
Ð......Well, Sadly I called this one below as well. Wish I had waited before picking up any, but $CCI definitely DID NOT break through resistance. Neither did $AMT.
It is paying a 5.6% dividend, so I guess I'll hang with it for a while (typically a bad idea and I should change my mind about holding).
Let me see how I feel later today

Ð.....I heard an interesting bit of information yesterday. People spend out of pocket 90% more on their pets than they do on themselves.
Now, this is intriguing. However, my first thought is, "well of course, we have health care for ourselves and not many people buy it for their pets" (perhaps a future investment?).
So, my bigger question is, with hospitals overcharging insurance companies (and I know, they don't really pay the quoted rate), but would a pharma company make more or less money if insurance weren't factored in?
What am I getting at you may wonder (this is for the future generations who find my work and started a religion based on it), .....
$ZTS.....one of my old favorites.....I already own some and have made some nice trades on it in the past, but it's about to pull back to its support line around $178 or so. Should I look to add more? Earnings are projected upward, but not all that much. About 10% per year. They have raised the dividend however.
Currently $186. I need to keep an eye on it......Too bad IHUB doesn't have a bell or something to let me know when it hits my buy or sell target.
I'd suggest it to admin.....but I'm not too thrilled with them at the present, and screw it! Let them figure out their own marketing strategies.
Ð......Even if no one else is amazed by me, I sometimes amaze myself....So, I predicted $SMCI getting to $499. It hit just under $497 today. Closed at $470.
Now comes the hard part. Now that I'm out. Do I buy back in, (I think it will close the week, tomorrow, around $460 or so), or do I take my gains elsewhere?
High Yield bonds are looking extremely attractive right now for instance. But the upside for SMCI looks sooooo much higher if they continue as predicted. This may be the next big thing. Of course, it may pullback to $345 first.
Ð.....Guess I'm glad I hung in there with $NFLX, but why didn't I buy more in the recent downswing? It gave another buy signal around $418! Up $63 today at $554 currently. This has been the craziest stock to try and play. I've been right AND wrong on it.
Ð.....Sold my $SMCI right now at $487.73. Not bad from $37. Not going to get greedy (repeat this three times). It may get to $499 soon.
I hope to buy it back soon though.
LOL....Well, she's not getting all her posts deleted, so you may be right.
When the robot said there were several like him already on the planet, I figured it out.
I've seen another movie with a similar plot....a matter of fact, I think one of the Love Death +robots had the same concept.
"I predicted the ending." - derf
Prior to watching the ending ?
Please enlighten me how, as I did not and only a day later understood the ending.
Is Janice smarter than you ?
Based on how she posts on IH, yes.
.
Ð....Sooo, $SMCI opened this morning and immediately rose another $60....then the profit takers jumped in. Currently up $4.
Typically with big spikes they last 3 weeks and THIS is week 3. A good chance that early spike was it, but who knows there may be a bit left.
I had told myself to hold the remaining shares forever, but I really believe a pullback to around (I'll call it) $250 or so is due. That's quite a drop from it's current $430 share price. I don't get too many 10X stocks in this short a time period.
I always tell people not to be greedy, but I haven't a clue what this company is worth. Their recent earnings projections are through the roof, but those are merely projections....

“Heaven is a large Havana cigar with black coffee for breakfast."

“Cigar tobacco is the plant that converts thoughts into dreams”.
"The use of cigars as a symbol of status and power is not unique to the Mafia."
"Smoking high-quality cigars has been seen as a sign of wealth, sophistication, and power."
Why do smart people smoke cigars?
Nicotine has been proven to be a highly effective work-drug,
so it makes sense that scientists, non-penny investors and artists smoke cigars.
Nicotine allows one to focus on their work and be the best that they can be.

Ð.....WHOAAAAAAA!!!! Looking at my $SMCI today! Up $108 to $418!!! It was the lazy man's way to buy NVDA. I really should have bought both.
Today I am up 1,028! in SMCI! Who needs freakin' penny stocks?
Most of those don't even look good in the picture.
I've found Jason's Deli to have a great French Dip. I may need to try Mimi's. Every time I drive by there, it's the only restaurant with an empty parking lot.
We've had some bad food there, but some surprisingly good as well. I don't know how they stay open.
Are you suggesting I find a new hobby?
