Birchtree's Account Talk

As of this morning my dividend increase announcements ytd is at 151 - only 7 more to equal 2013. These increases should last for many years as age catches up to me. Having a nice income stream provides much flexibility year in and forever.

Bahahahaha!!!! Nice one!

We'll never look at Bill Cosby the same way again, will we?

 

[Birchtree]

Yes, the trend is relentless. My wife with her FRS account tied to the S&P 500 is romping. I think the SPX is up 11.1% so far this year. I bet the Dow closes up over +200 points today. Then next week we blow off the roof.

Let us stop talking falsely now, the hour's getting late. I think this last dip we had a month ago will be the last one for a long while.

I know at least one person has been waiting with bated breath to know what my oceanic account did last week: -$11K, +$26K, -$47K, +$65K, +$50K for a sweet gain of +$83K. I anticipate doing even better during the next 3 and 1/2 trading days.

Not me. I brushed my teeth really good this morning.

Been wondering... how cold did it get in your neck of the woods during last weeks polar vortex dip?

One morning it was 27 degrees and all my sensitive plants were put away for safety. I've been mowing up leaves lately for compost materials.

"If the Russell 2000 can close above its November highs of 1188 that would give even more fuel for the bulls for a Santa Clause year-end rally."

The NYAD remains in a bullish configuration.

Bulldaddy repeating Bill Miller says "the conditions for a bad market just don't exist. You can throw a dart at the market and about anything you hit is gonna go up the next six months." The Federal Reserve will keep interest rates lower than anyone can imagine for longer than anyone can imagine. And that will drive asset prices higher than anyone can imagine. I'll take an asset bubble for Kwanzaa.

My Seadrill (SDRL) is under the hammer today. Weak quarterly earnings and a dividend suspension have taken it down over 4 points today. So I have bought myself another 200 shares for fun - knowing full well that oil prices will rebound at some point. My dividend increase announcements are now up to 155 ytd with more to ring in the holiday cheer in December.

 

[Birchtree]

I'm buying a few oil stocks that are currently on sale: STO, BTE, HAL, RDC. December is my largest dividend month so I'll be adding even more oil company shares. As soon as my take overs complete I'll be going much deeper into the oil drilling business.

This morning's chart of SDRL:



Oil is getting crushed. There's a fundamental change going on in the industry.

Seadrill is a pleasing opportunity and is Europe's largest offshore driller. It has over 60 rigs and will remain a leading contractor in the deep water segment of the market. So bring me pain now with lower prices and I'll just keep buying.

But I heard that Europe was going to use 'Wish Power' to generate electricity. See Germany. It is an extremely clean power generation source - transparent to the user when no power is generated. Thus, I think this is a very poor recommendation...
