Just remember going forward that the stock market performs twice as well during dollar bull markets than during dollar bear markets. I think I'm going to buy more coal stocks just for fun when the Republicans roll back the EPA.
 
Long term you can’t beat stocks a lot more risk you will have negative returns but you will all so have higher gains. Corrections will happen ride it out long term you will be fine.

You know what is going to happen to the bond market - it just takes time since the bond market is ten times larger than the stock market. If history is any guide rising rates should also mean rising stocks. In fact those years of consistently increasing rates are some of the best in the history of the benchmark S&P 500 index. I'll be staying long with the opportunity to make a few more millions of dollars.

Last week was no great shakes for my oceanic account but I did make money: -$65K, +$149K, -$10K, +$3K, +$92K for a +$169K gain. That left me with a +$54K gain for the month of October. Now I'm headed for a +$400K gain for November especially with all the new QE around buying stocks. Now if only Mario would bring out the big guns the rocket ride would remain intact. I'm still hopeful for a +300 point Dow open one of these days.
 
"Slicing and dicing the results by party affiliation may be unnecessary. The very fact midterm elections are upon us may be all investors need to know, according to data from Yardeni Research. Looking back to 1942, returns were positive over the following six and 12 months 100% of the time." Stay in to win.
 
In all the way. :)

Getting into the grove and buying: AA, BHI, BTE, CNQ, HAL, SDRL, NBR, GDXJ, BTU, FCX. There are so many great stocks to purchase and wall flowers are the way to go.
 
It was a ho hum week but it was a positive week: -$30K, -$87K, +$57K, +$45K, +$52K for a gain of +$37K - better than nothing. I've been a consistent buy and hold investor essentially since the 2008 December bottom. At that time I believed we had entered a new mega trend secular bull market and was proven correct and as a result have made some good money along the way. Now the question becomes when will the next cyclical bear market begin that rests inside this secular bull - I don't believe we'll see one for at least another 5 years. So I'm staying in to win. I even think the coal stocks will rebound. I'm having stocks taken away from me because of buy outs but I'm not selling anything at this point - I plan to keep buying all the way to the top no matter where it is found. You just gotta have courage and faith in Republicanism.

can you please explain how one loses -12% in a bull market? seriously? -12%? now which ism's fault is that? if you keep that pace up, we won't need any more taxes on those who already pay taxes to float the boat of those who don't pay taxes. hell cuz, you 'bout done gonna float the whole boat yourself.

please excuse the sour grapes. nothing to see here.
 
I just can't imagine it - here we are with the Transports at a record high along with the S&P 500 and Dow. Bring on the bears for their last smoke.
 
"GE's stock breakout suggests Dow's rally is real. When GE's stock is rising, the broader stock market usually does the same." Morgan Stanley says SPX 3000 before 2020. I'd be happy with 2400 by year end. And as usual fear has been the strongest emotion keeping many investors out of this bull market. Stay scared because the bus runs faster with fewer people on board.

I saw where you've been buying oil stocks like SDRL and BTE.... what do you or others think of NGL, RIG and LNCO?

Thanks
