Haha....From ScotTrade Statistics....Majority Subscriber Demos:
Gen Y (born 1983 to 1993, ages 18–29) Gen X (born 1967 to 1982, ages 30–45)
3. Gen Y, Gen X Translate Portfolio Gains into Higher Expectations
Though the economic climate continues to spur action among all investors, Gen Yers, followed closely by Gen Xers,
are taking the most active and involved role by checking their investments more frequently than older investors.
The majority of Gen Y and Gen X, at 77 percent and 69 percent, respectively, check their accounts at least once a week.
Story Highlights
Fifty-five percent of Americans are invested in stock market
That remains down from 62% in early 2008, before the financial crisis
WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Although the Dow Jones industrial average has made significant gains since it plummeted in 2009 after the financial meltdown, Americans are no more likely today than they were six years ago to report having money invested in the stock market. Fifty-five percent of Americans report having money invested in stocks, matching what Gallup found from 2009 through 2011, though up slightly from the low of 52% in 2013.
Lol....Are you kidding me? Lol....check this out: Gallup Poll
PRINCETON, NJ -- Even as stocks have returned to lofty heights from their March 2009 lows, the percentage of Americans saying they hold individual stocks, stock mutual funds, or stocks in their 401(k) or IRA fell to 54% in April -- the lowest level since Gallup began monitoring stock ownership annually in 1999. Self-reported stock ownership has trended downward since 2007 -- before the recession and financial crisis began -- when 65% of Americans owned stocks.
Any ideas about companies wanting to buy VLTC?
Lol....The real problem is that as long as the US keeps printing money it's easy to find buyers. NASDAQ broke-out on Friday and possibly has paved the way for other indices as well. Even though NASDAQ is more technology and internet based and even more volatile than some other indices, still there is carry-forward impact in an economy that just keeps printing more money. I've flipped and made great money on this one but I think it's another month or so before I will get back in. This coming week's bell weather for the DJIA will be on earnings reports. AAPL, MSFT and IBM, amongst others, likely bring excellent earnings reports and the DJIA likely will breakout above $18,200, imho
Lol....Yeah it's a problem. All the while the fact is that Greece is basically insolvent without major intervention. Unemployment hovers at 25% and the Debt to GDP ratio is 180%, as reported. GLTA on this one...The future has got to be better than the past!!!
Lol....This has not had a good week. What about next week?
Lol....Icahn is drawn to near bankrupt businesses where he can increase valuation. He didn't have to buy 53% for controlling interest either...Lol...could have had control with 50% plus one share...Lol...He will buy more to increase valuation....Don't marry this one....Lol...might wake up and all that's left is lipstick....GLTY
Lol....Was told a 13f will show soon?
Lol....Icahn bought $1M today...Lol...Somebody bigger coming in? Lol
Don't hold too long. Only lipstick will remain.....Lol
Lol....I'm hoping the same..Make my day
Lol....Don't marry this one....Lol
That's exactly what will happen. Icahn has buyer.
Lol....Once the writeoff is sold its done
Lol....As soon as China's props fall..Lol
This ticker soon becomes a kicker
Yellen appearance today...turnaround
Agree 100% and loading the wagons
Lol...The window dressings can't last
When the Chinese props fall this will rocket
Blood in the streets for sure...$$$$$
Lol.....Patience....Earnings reports are going to be off target about 3%, Chinese Government's market strategy may not cure the recession impacts and the deal with Iran still not completed. No never mind about Puerto Rico or US stocks being extremely overvalued. The odds are we make money here. More negative than positive in the global economy. Chickens soon come home to roost...Lol
No worries. Earnings will get pps up
Lol....Rough ride down....Lol
Lol....Hope drops are done...Lol
Lol....Me too. There will be two days of market drop this week
Great buys today....Great profits Mon
Wondering why price has so much down pressure lately?
Lol....My exact thoughts...lol
Lol...Well then you know the real deal in Greece.....GLTY
Lol....Having spent time in Greece, the people aren't broke, the Government is broke. Tourism and fruit is the economy and the total GDP of Greece is close to that of Oklahoma...Lol
Greece has benefited less than any in the EuroZone. Commentators say on one occasion that GREXIT is not a legal option and on recent occasion that Greece may be forced from the EuroZone. Greece Government Officials were alleged to have misrepresented the Greece economy in order to gain admission to the EU. Many academia commentators refer to the EU as the greatest experience in the history of the world. Whatever the EU represents to Europe, one noticeable outcome is that it doesn't work equally well for all EU countries. The bigger issue is whether Greek will be forced to leave the EuroZone and if so will others follow. It seems more likely that successful countries within the EU will make concessions to keep Greece and others in the EU. Europe is the largest Trading Ally of the U.S. And important to US markets. Tsipras going to Russia for aid to Greece may begin to create political problems in addition to the economic problems that currently plague Greece. However, Greece presented new proposals in Brussels Monday that have yet to be revealed to media. With extreme volatility in the Chinese market, starting June 12, the Chinese Government is taking strong actions to attempt to achieve stability. With the Chinese Market down about 20%, the Chinese are not likely to provide assistance to Greece. Currency Markets may now be the most lucrative for investors to consider?
Lol...Agreement is binding upon all parties not just one. The EU wants to keep all nations in the EU. If the EU were to honor a request from Greece to exit the EU, which has not been requested, others would follow and the EU and markets would collapse.
Lol...there are 5 others that haven't benefitted from the EU very much. However, many commentators are saying that the EuroZone agreement is irrevocable. Tsipras is saying the NO vote is mainly for negotiating leverage rather than exiting the EU.
Greece economy size of Oklahoma
Nice day even with pps variations
The European Economy is much more fragile than many were aware of. Perhaps Greece will approach China for economic assistance. China may see lucrative advantages of manufacturing in Greece? China's GDP growth slumped from 10% to 7%. Tsipras had previously met with Iran and Chinese Leaders for economic aid. Going to get help somewhere or there will be no food on the table!
Many Economists and finance scholars now speculate that the EU will not allow Greece to remove itself from the EuroZone. Their speculation forecasts are based on the projection that the EU will collapse without Greece. Maybe that seems a little overly impacting but maybe if others follow Greece it would be a certainty?
Will see a minimum of 1% drop in indexes tomorrow.
Yeah....It's time for the bears to run...Lol
