I will see everyone tomorrow - my generator is having a tough time with this on-off-on-off from our local electric .... frustrating....


GO MAKE SOME MONEY!!!!


GO ATM !

Currently, I think the pm's have a bias to go up, but of course you'll need to be selective. Remember I liked NG for a risky longer hold? It has made a double over the last year. There are opportunities out there but be selective. On a related note, if you look at a bunch of commodity based ETF's, many look to me to have rolled and show bullish signs so that entire arena seems to show signs of opportunities. But of course I will always be holding some physical myself :)



(we are having electrical issues here again - sorry it took a while)

Just re-stating what your mom knew years ago !

I do have a growing concern about the mrkts cause I am hearing some whispers about some ultra hacker who is fixated on trying to get the algos to line up at the same time going the same direction to drive the mrkt for ill-gotten gains....but I have no evidence and it is just gossip as of now ..... one more thing to worry about lol!

GRIFF!!!!!

Excellent to see ya bud :)

Maybe it is time to rethink? It seems to me that you have all the tools so it may be just a matter of tweaking how you apply them? I know you are working hard on getting some revenue streams going so w/o knowing all the details, seems to me that probably it is just a matter of implementing things a tad differently?? Does your plan have the right division of time to your tasks? That is 1 that usually gets me - I like some ways to make money more than others and sometimes I spend too much time in 1 area when I should be working on something else. Any of this sound helpful or maybe it doesn't apply? On your trading, are ya sticking to a certain type of play/timeline so it complements all the other stuff you got going both in re to profits and time spent??

DA!!!!

Hope all has been good your way buddy :)

Glad you brought up this one .... It used to be that folks bought stocks and held 'em an average of around 8 years, now though - ave is about 3 months. While on the surface this would lead us to believe that it may be more difficult to invest in this type of environment, it also gives us more opportunities. Kinda goes back to your moms thinking with MET ... buy it when it is low and reap the profits when it is up. It seems many of these more established stocks do present us with good trades that last several months. Nothing wrong with buying in the upper $50's and selling a few months later in the upper $70's. Frees up your time to find opportunities elsewhere and add additional revenue streams to your income while making some good $$$.

GM ATM ! !

Thanks for all the "welcome backs" !

So how has your last 4 months gone? Making your money and hitting your goals? Do you even have goals/benchmarks that you measure your progress against? Got a plan? It is on my mind as I am going over my own 20 year plan currently and would like to discuss where I see opportunities coming up.....please chime in

Hello ATM ! ! !

WOW! 4 months since my last post - I must have faith in you all! :)
I will be in tomorrow for a while, so let's get some things accomplished!

See everyone in the morning, but I'm sure I will sleep in late haha !!!

GO A T M ! ! ! ! !

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHAAAAAAAAAAW ! ! ! ! !



EDIT - Prepared to be challenged ;)

Ain't that something!
Maybe we should start a dog breeding biz!
Why not do some creative packaging and try to sell them some very high end dog food?

EDIT - last post for the day .....

Remember that China has had a 1 child policy for around 40 years and many have grown up "spoiled" IMO and if they have "made it" , they are gonna spend a bunch of it selfishly IMO.

Good luck all, see everyone later, and

GO ATM ! ! !


EDIT 2nd time - it might just be me, but something has been looking a bit weird with some of the HFTs .... be careful folks

I will be watching this VERY INTENSIVELY come summertime - IMO could be one of those "super trades" and may lead all commodities for 2016 gains .... I'm kinda giddy thinking about this probable trade for later this year lol!

So it is pretty easy to see why so many of them are willing to spend outrageous prices for high end real estate (though they are also buying up lesser properties as well) and that is what I have been concentrating on ... and it seems like if you sell something to one of 'em then a half dozen more want to get something similar ... kinda nice :)



YEEEEEEEEEEEEHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAW ! ! !

Right now I'm not bullish on any metal, but am watching gold for a possible rounded bottom reversal but gotta watch currencies of course. Kinda goes with my last post about rich folks in China trying to hold onto their wealth through non Yuan assets (gold, high end non-Chinese real estate etc.) But other metals, I expect not much movement at this time IMO....

Lots of rich folks in China trying to move their money outside of there .... lots of ways to play it and I don't see a slowdown anytime soon....

Lots of ways to make money, just take your pick! I do love commodities but they do take a bunch of work (just like any other way to make money!)

But the jokes are never ending and most are hysterically funny lol

Sorry I couldn't come up with a pure trade on it ....

It is a trend hahahaha!!! I do like to make time when things are heading south - quick money lol!

I don't know if our palm oil folks are still around the board- they mostly just sent me pm's instead of posting so I don't know .... but lots of money to be made for sure, but IMO one needs a very good understanding of ALL oils to be successful at it.

Here's a link about possible growth in the mrkt.

https://globenewswire.com/news-release/2015/07/27/755234/10143225/en/Palm-Oil-Market-Is-Anticipated-To-Grow-To-88-Billion-By-2022-New-Report-By-Grand-View-Research-Inc.html

As I said a while back, a recession is close at hand IMO. I still believe it will be mild and not long lived, and IMO some great opportunities will be coming up!

Of course, I surely could be wrong :)

While there are oodles of funny jokes about palm oil, there is money to be made trading the contracts for sure :)

There are some folks who do well by going against the grain for a quicky, but for me, I like going with it for the quickies. Not for the longer term plays, I like quality at a discount so I guess I go against the trend for those type of long term plays...

Hey DA!

Bananas .... didn't we put out a warning about them last year or the year before? If not, then I was derelict as this has been coming for a while.

Some things about bananas and the banana mrkts..... first of all, most bananas are consumed in the country where they are produced - something like 80% or something like that and NOT sold as an export (maybe someone can find out the real number?) Another thing - most of the info out there is tough to understand, since the bananas the US are used to are not necessarily what are counted by many sources of data - lots include ALL types of bananas and plantains. But IMO there are some serious issues out there that will be hard to manage w/o doing some more diverse planting and even with that going on, I still feel like there will be less and less, though not tomorrow....

Don't know of a pure trade that can be made, but I'm sure there are some entrepreneurial actions that could be successful. Are you gonna get one of those little inside banana trees to get ya through? I wonder when more plantations will do some kind of "changeover" and what crop they will go to?????


Basically - I have no idea lol!

Hey cap!

Hope the 2 winners were bigguns and your loser turns around ... hate holding a loser .... pretty tough going against the overall mrkt ....

GM ATM !

Thought I'd stop in and see what's up :)

Hope all are making some $$$$

MERRY CHRISTMAS,
HAPPY HOLIDAYS,
HAPPY NEW YEARS,
HAPPY HAPPY
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAW ATM ! !

May you all have the best of times :)

See everyone around Feb!!

GO ATM !

Thanks cap!

But sure thought the black boxes would bring it down more than what we saw.

When they went ahead with the $50 billion acquisition of Covidien I think they showed good judgement, and now they have less tax burden as well....

Hmmmm ..... a company that is heavy with cash ..... something to ponder :)

Something to ponder .....


I know folks already have lots of chart groups, but maybe here is one to add - "companies that are cash heavy". Lots of reasons IMO to track these as a group, as there are times when they will react in a predictable and profitable way for both long and short plays. Something good to know I reckon ....

Hey there cap!

Something that is really interesting to me is how young peoples behavior will shape some of these reactions now and more so in the future. Their money handling is different from previous generations and I am interested to see how that plays out over time.

With rates at these levels for this long .... IMO it was past time for 'em to make a move ... but who cares about my opinion - let's just make money :)

That is sooo cool buddy!

You must be a proud papa :)


She gets her first ATM


YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAW ! ! ! ! !

From what I understand, "freshly fallen" ones are very slightly radioactive but not for long and not much worse than a smoke detector etc. Best guess from what I learned (I am far from knowledgeable about this) is that this one was likely mostly iron ....

I tried like crazy but I failed - had a blast trying to hunt it down though! From my obsessive search, I now am fairly sure it is under water in Duncan Canal .... that's a good crabbin' area so maybe it will get stuck on one of my crab pots next spring???

Glad he has you to look over his shoulder for him! No excuse for him to be in a horse race - slow and steady will set him up for good :)


I hope your example gets others on the board to reach out and help someone else get on the right financial path - thanks for all you do here!

Howdy DA!!!!

Everything going well here bud and hoping you and yours have the best holiday season ever!!!!

How come I've got a feeling that we will likely see a 400 - 600 pt or more daily drop before the end of year? Am I just getting old lol? Senility?

Well, we did get the rate increase and we are seeing

LB !!!!

Glad the study is ongoing and should be a great tool to get 'em interested.

Something for him to ponder .... if he can get a 20% return, starting off with just $5000 and adding just another $1000 per year, he'll have over a mill in 25 years :)

If he starts at 20 yrs old and can contribute more than $1000 per year???? Cha-ching!

GM ATM !

Thought I'd stop by and see how all are doing.

Everyone making some $$ ?

Breaks are good IMO ..... unless you waste 'em chasing shooting stars lol!

Hey there cap!!!

I might have failed (again) but glad I tried lol!

Hope all is well your way buddy :)
