OT: Lets talk about stocks (Part 3)

Has anyone bought into these? I haven’t researched them yet, don’t know if they have a long track record of hitting the numbers in the clip:



@Habs — are these Rudys or Tage Thompsons?

Which are you holding forever from this list? I have the top 3 listed, plus Nvidia and Alphabet:

You’re a sophisticated investor — I just buy and hold for now.

If you like anything for the long term, I’d greatly value your feedback.

I have done well with DVYE it's an ETF Emerging Markets Dividend. But I also bought back into IEP, it's a stock but it's Carl Ichans's (forgot to add that it pays a big dividend)

I predict Trump caves again on tariffs today or over the weekend.

 

[sampollock]

the media will be excited today
drive that DOW up

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

Folks,

It seems people aren't getting the message. Leave the politics out. Going forward threadbans will be issued. Stop making pro and anti Trump posts. If it's a discussion about the economy... that's cool. But leave the political opinions at the door.

 

[sampollock]

any good updates you experts of the market

It's a bit tough when it's so intrinsically linked.

not what I want, but, might as well shut down the thread if you're not gonna allow discussion of the single most impactful agent in this economy

whats your guess then? next week worse?

 

[OnTheRun]

Depends on what you are asking for. The economy as a whole isn't going to get better until the madness end, full stop.
Day-to-day trading is mostly influenced by the downward spiral the US and China put themselves into, at the current pace it's going to be 200% tariffs going both ways, so next week doesn't look great right now.

I haven’t been able to complete one trade on Questrade. I transferred funds to my non-registered Questrade account and wasn’t able to buy anything as they require one to 2 business days to transfer funds from a non-registered account to a TFSA account, both of which are in my name.

My funds have already left my bank account and are cleared with Questrade. But somehow, they are moving like snails for simple transactions.

WealthSimple is so much more efficient and fast even if a bit more costly for US securities processing and conversion fees.

I've been trading stocks for myself or family members pretty much every day since '93. For next week I would say who gives a f***, as any time you see massive wild swings in the market from day to day, that tells the market has no clue how to react to the data it's gotten unless that data shows real change in real time.

This tariffs stuff is total bull shit. First off how many on here are economists? I f***ing hated ECON 101 and 2, so boring. but suddenly so many are experts on tariffs yet if you look at the response from the rest of the countries he hit, only 2 fired back and they are both China backed gov. That should be a massive tell but for many I'm not sure it is.

Ask yourself this, in terms of investing, how many times in your life did you hear the word tariffs? So why is it that if the USA does it, it's bad but when China has tariffs all over the place, that's fine, no issues.
China is, was and likely will always be the problem because their system is based off fraud to begin with. They started all this shit pre covid and they told the world it was coming when they announced their 2030 agenda.

So I guess we just hang on for the wild Ride

You can discuss it without getting into the politics.

End of the day, the market is now really unpredictable. We all know why. No need to get into it.

The real question is, how do we make or preserve our investments? That’s the purpose of the thread.

 

[DAChampion]

The economy as a whole isn't going to get better until the madness end, full stop.

In the long run, massive reforms are needed across the board.

We are off on a wrong start for comprehensive reforms [on international trades]. What could/shouldn't have been done is probably too political for this thread unfortunately.

To be fair I should say this, it depends on what you are doing, are you a trader or investor? That tells everything on what you should do. I was thinking of adding more to some positions this week but glad I opted to hold off a little longer. In the end the only thing wall street cares about is the earnings. Show me the money is their motto, so while prices on stocks imo where overvalued by a good bit, now are cheaper, and could get cheaper still but you have to look at what that means for each company and what you are trying to do.

If you are in investor then dollar cost average should be more the way that most invest, if so then it doesn't really matter what the prices are today since you are buying for down the road. If you are a trader then I would be using a put call ratio, on the VIX.

Last time usa, the most powerful economy by far, placed tarrifs on the world of this scale, it led to a great depression

Don't recall ever hearing that one before, the US starting moving away from tariffs after 1913 and the reason why we had a great depression was due to over 80% of equities being held on margin.

China as the #2 economy has no problems using tariffs, the US mainly used them from 1798 to 1913 for up to 90% of the Feds income during that period.

But I don't think most people understand why this is happening, the media tells them what to think and they just spew it back out like it's fact.

Tariffs are a strain on a cooling economy

Which provides uncertainty
