LMAO

...when the Fed has made stocks the risk-free asset, it's the 10-year-olds who are the "smart money"...

Unreal.

[JayLA]

Too much stress here

If you bought in March just wait 5 years and you’ll be really happy

Buy the dip now and check back in 5 years and you’ll be happy

March lows will never be retested

that's where i'm at.
I'll likely look for new entry points and rebuy at dips but im not stressing or selling

[navyblue81]

So here's a question for all...

If you had $10k and could invest it in any company for the next 15 years that you feel has nowhere to go but up and is almost guaranteed a solid return.

Asking because I'm about to put some start putting money aside for my kid's college and deciding which company to invest my money in so I get a good return. I've got some other money being put aside in mutual funds.

I'd say google but it's only like 10 shares.
Think of companies that aren't going anywhere and are innovative.

Nvidia, yes, they're basically the go to company in their market.

I dont think Disney is going any where but you knew that and youd have to watch Disney during pandemics lol

These tech companies are subject to Chinese oppression, anti trust in USA and political tax ploys. What if Dems sweep and jack corporate tax to 45%??

This is the most overbought large cap market ever and small cap has way too many unknowns.

The safest play, laugh at this thought, might be the banks on a dip on hopes of interest rates going up SUBSTANTIALLY after 2022.

That’s a good stock. Was also thinking TTD. Feel they have a ton of upside. Also looking at Apple, Zoom, and PayPal.

It really depends on your risk tolerance.

if you want low risk, but guaranteed +100% yield next 5-10 years, ETFs are your best option, either SPY or QQQ is all you need.

If I had to pick one company, I guess I would go....Facebook. They are slowly opening up to new streams of revenue including e.commerce and I think once they unlock that box there’s no stopping it.

Invest that money in books and let your kids get straight As, guaranteed full merit scholarship to any of the local universities.

Maybe we won't have a deficit if the tax is 45%. And we can quit printing money at the Federal reserve every time there is a crisis.

[milwaukee mike]

we would still have a deficit

the us govt collects about $3 trillion/year... if you add in unfunded ss/medicare the deficit is around $100 trillion

even if you double tax rates, what happens is you collect about the same, but let's say they collect $5 trillion and spend $4 trillion... even at 1% interest that's nothing more than breaking even... at 0% interest on the debt that would only take 100 years to pay off!

[Enkhbat]

Of course the debt is gonna just keep increasing. At what point do you guys think it is too much? 200 trillion? 300? or is there no such thing as too much debt?

[Snowball]

posted 4 explanatory charts today. Two longs JCPNQ and SMRT. Two small term shorts also.

I question whether the market is so ready to resume its bullishness, after a one-day beating.
Stay nimble and don't over commit to new long positions yet, IMO.

I get so tired of people talking about unfounded social security tax. Do you realize the govt owes 2.9 trillion that they borrowed out of it? But the easiest way is just raise the caps.right now it is capped at 125,000? Raise it to 150,000. For everyone that bitches Reagan did it! Also they take s.s out of checks which makes it funded. But since lbj put it in the general fund these politicians use it as a slush fund.

it's at $137,700 not 125,000... but it doesn't matter... how much ss/medicare is being collected when unemployment is this high? normally collections/distributions are about $1 trillion each... but demographics keep getting worse

medicare is an even bigger problem, between medicare/medicaid, payroll taxes only cover about 20% of the costs! and those pesky demographics keep getting worse there too

if they put back the 2.9 trillion they stole we wouldn't be having this discussion. How much debt is the fed buying to keep the market going? i paid the shit since 1975. i will never get the money back that i paid into it. I paid both mine and companies seeing i was self employed. ps the amt i put has a question mark by it. it meant i wasn't sure but thanks for the correction.

everything is stolen, why care about social security but not medicare/obamacare? nobody pays anything in to medicaid (obamacare) and yet all of us pay taxes to give people free health insurance? that's beyond dumb

because i been paying since 1977. because i been paying double s.s. since 1987. Why ask why. It is a proven fact that they stole out of social security. Otherwise why would they try to pass a bill saying they shouldn't have to put it back.

[chico2663]

here you go

[chico2663]

mike usually you are cool but not on this subject. I lost a shitload of money on home state savings and loan getting back 10 cents on the dollar but we were given NO OPTION ON PAYING SOCIAL SECURITY. Now you are clueless on obama care. THe poor would go to e.r. when they didn't have insurance. the hospital wrote it off and raised our rates. Now I served my country but I couldn't go to v.a. because I MADE TOO MUCH MONEY!

[chico2663]

when do you guys figure out that fed will quit buying back debt. I figure soon as they do market is going to hit the floor. I think in sept i'm getting out of market except speculative stocks. Figure that is when they tell trump the game is up.

you're always given an option...if you're paying double (like i am) then just don't make as much
life sucks, that's nothing new... "god grant me the serenity to accept the things i cannot change"

i'm clueless on obamacare? please enlighten me as to why it makes sense to give free health insurance to families of 4 that make up to $106,000/year... that same family of 4 that makes $126,000/year might be paying an additional 5k in taxes and 20k in health insurance... so by making an extra $20k you just cost yourself $5k, pretty good disincentive to working harder right?

being self employed i was able to join a chamber of com. to get a better deal. But if you can't lose 20,000 being self employed sounds like you need a better accountant. or you can get it thru certain organizations

[chico2663]

ps i didn't vote for obama. i m moderate republican

[trobin31]

Opening IPO this week, Royalty Pharma, biggest IPO to debut so far this year. The books look good, and I like the business plan.

Offering 77 million shares at 26.5, I’m predicting this one lands in the mid 30s by next week.

[navyblue81]

Leaning going towards TTD. Everything I’ve read on them I’m really impressed with. FB, Nvidia, Apple, and Disney also on my list.

i'm a cpa, i own an accounting firm

my point was there is a point (with obamacare subsidies) in which it costs you 25k to make 20k... and my clients wonder why i don't want more work

I sold health,life and property and casualty since 1985. Sounds like you had shitty health insurance agent. As I said I helped people join groups to get around to not get screwed by Obama care. Yes it cost me money but I was making enough from life side. Good luck.
thinking about becoming cpa. Just need couple more classes. Been doing long form taxes since 83 for friends.

that 150 hour requirement sucks (was 120 when i did it)... also that test is a beast to pass when you're 22, at least now you can do 1 part at a time but i would still say don't do it

if all you're doing is tax returns then you don't need a cpa license

i have 3 separate insurance agents as clients... no matter what with a family of 4 it's around 20k/year in wisconsin if you're not on the exchange... we're paying for all these badger care recipients too around here
