TINA.
Real estate, crypto, ESG, private equity, the whole cap range, US, non US... there are so many alternatives.
Nothing else has yield. Bonds no, CD's a joke, Money markets no interest.
Agreed. Good thing I don't need yield today. If I did, that great return on equities would fund groceries, taxes and quite a bit of fun. Not that I need to teach you math but you realize that a 28% return on $1 million will gross you $280,000. Don't know about you but that will cover my expenses in retirement still leaving me the $1 million next year.
If you aren't in the handful of good stocks SPY stocks had a very bad year.
How do you reconcile that with almost 28% in SPX? I would call that a pretty decent year. What single stocks contributed to that does not change the bottom line. If I hadn't invested in SPY, including those 8 stocks, I wouldn't have made 28%?
Because of TINA not being in 8 tech stocks is better than holding anything else that is declining.
If that is the case how did mid cap return 21.53%, small cap return 11.80% and non US return 8.21% over the last year?
There has been no money to be made now in 2021 unless you had lots of money concentrated in a very small area.
Just bullshit.
Yes SPY is the only asset. Diverging almost from thr entire world.
Still, bullshit.
If you made the returns you say...you are concentrated.
I never said what my returns were. I am just relating the returns the rest of the universe made.
All over the news everywhere. No assets making money by SPY.
I'll make it simple, if you put $100 in SPY one year ago, you now have approximately $128. A 5 year old would be able to figure out that $128 is more than $100.
In my opinion, your assumptions are flawed. Like I said before. You're making it harder than it needs to be.
Breadth would imply that SPY is the only investment. What is the ROI on doing nothing?
You're making assumptions that I am not. I have allocation targets for multiple asset classes. Where the market is does not change the target. My proximity to retirement and risk budget does. That way I can weather the storm. It naturally forces me to allocate away from the things that have appreciated and toward the bargains. I don't have to sit on the sidelines in the years markets take off and have something to allocate to the hard hit asset classes. My investment decisions are emotionless and aren't reliant on any prediction of where the market is going.
It may be fun and rewarding to my ego to pretend like I have insight others don't but does nothing for the chances of me living wherever I want and doing whatever I want. It's not as tragic or hard as you're making it out to be. Diversifying is an asset class thing, not an etf thing.
SPY returned 28% over the last year and 18% annualized over the last 5. Call me a happy bag holder. No crazy prediction necessary.
edit
16% over the last 10 years.
Dude, where do you come up with this? I would say shit but I don't want to offend. I live in Montana. I have a gun for every day of the week and most holidays. I can hit a dime from 400 yards. Where was gun control ever mentioned? Are you saying those unarmed folks would have had it better if they would have been able to shoot back?
Those places are also the largest concentrations of humans and the largest concentrations of poverty. But that would be science and data. What does gun control have to do with killing unarmed humans because they have the wrong colored skin or live in the wrong neighborhood?
Sigh.
Because I can.
Not a damn thing. What does Biden have to do with Lucid?
He means the idiots that have decided to throw away centuries of research and data and instead take their medical advice from radio hosts and news/entertainment channels.
Awesome. Why wouldn't you? Now you can eat all the poop you want to.
You as well Kanya.
No worry here. The scabs are gone and only a callous is left.
Sigma will surely survive as long as they can keep up the business of selling shares to the starry eyed believers.
What if I told you I have as much confidence in your predictions as I ever have?
I was thinking the same. Seems like the reason the cancel post button is there.
Fluffy for sure.
It might be a character flaw of mine. I am thin skinned and love to argue. I have also devoted my life to passive aggressiveness.
Totally get it. I can't count high enough to account for all the warts here. The lipstick on this pig is getting thick.
Who is bragging? I was just correcting an erroneous statement.
Do I get to be your new Visionary?
If so, yes, you are correct. Say anything and I will hold it as gospel. You never lose arguments. Pulling stuff out of your ass is cool and should be accepted by all.
I was responding to the revenue stream reply. You already saw my thoughts on polymer. If you knew what you were trading I just assumed you would know that they do have a revenue stream and that the revenue has been going up. My bad for assuming.
According to their financial statements, revenue at SGLB has been:
2018 $389,000
2019 $402,000
2020 $807,000
Last twelve months $1,472,000
A glass half full guy would say over 3x growth in this time period is exceptional. Maybe the stream will turn into a river.
A glass half empty guy would say this is still not enough to cover expenses and issuing stock is still the main business at Sigma.
Either of them would be talking out their ass if they professed an informed opinion and didn't look at financial statements.
There are going to be a bunch of cheap printers out there 10 years from now. If SGLB can get a cut...
Desperation is closing the doors and walking away. Potentially diversifying your revenue stream is good business. The question is, can they execute?
You beat me to it.
The polymer market is smaller $/item than metal. What price will they have to sell the software for these generally cheaper machines? Is this a pared down version? What revenue does 2 systems produce?
As usual, more questions than answers from SGLB.
Atta boy Sigma. A real live sale. Not some dot connecting, bullshit pr that results in nothing. And opening a new potential market while they're at it. Kill it and drag it home. Now, can they follow up or did they just build themselves another deserted island like the trail of them we have seen in the past. Not earth shattering but definitely a step in the right direction. Come on Lucy, let me kick the ball this time.
Why would it? When interest rates for bonds rise, the chances are good that pre-existing bonds with lower interest rates will decrease in value for investors seeking the best possible rate of return at that time. Think of a teeter totter with rates at one side and price at the other. Why buy a bond with a 2% coupon today when you expect them to be available for 3% a year from now. Not always how it works but a good rule of thumb. My bet is on an increase in rates.
"But it's different this time..."
All of them.
Answer politely please.
Great advice.
I am not proposing anything. The statement was made that this will skyrocket. I asked why, based on what? There is nothing here except a play on some backdoor regulatory filing that will allow stuck folks to sell to the next stuck folks. Say the CEO puts down the bong and does something. Then what? Will they start selling all of those projects in the pipeline. Will Hollywood start writing checks? Just asking what exactly will make this skyrocket? Agreed, the time to trade this was when you could.
What will make the time right? Will it be some perceived trick or a genuine consistent revenue opportunity? I don't think there is a here, here.
What will cause the skyrocket?
Fisker Ocean Wins Inaugural THE ZEVAS Award at LA Auto Show

Because 2 out of 3 days are up.
Agreed, big deal if it happens. There are lemmings all around us.
How many tops are there and which one is this?
Curious about the obsession with CNBC with all the noted misinformation. Maybe time to change the channel?
Good luck. You're in bed with the snakes. Hope it works out for you. Just curious, what does MIKP sell? What does it's pipeline look like? Is this a pure play for that golden moment when it gets off the pinks? I talked to the man a long time back. I have since found that I am not in the market for his brand of elixer.
Not talking about Mark the insurance salesman. I don't know what he has sold from his personal stash. Mark the CEO has funded MIKP with equity offerings (selling shares) for quite a while. If you don't/can't sell anything as a corporation (product or service), the only way to pay the lawyers and keep the lights on is to issue and sell shares. No debt here, how else does he pay the bills? The majority of funding up until now is investors that have bought into the idea that Mark has found the new mousetrap. He has proven them wrong time and time again.
Wish I could say the same. Added to DM today. Lucy is going to let me kick that ball one day. MTLS is still one of my largest individual holdings. I can't see anything but growth on their horizon.
I was lucky enough to get into LCID last month. I think I will let that one ride for a while.
As Jim Morrison used to say, the futures uncertain and the end is always near. Let it roll baby roll.
Then what? What is the product here? The business of MIKP has been and is selling shares. There is no source of revenue. There is nothing to sell. This is being run out of an insurance salesman's closet.
