Anyone interested in the metals, or is that too much long term?

What about energy and oil?

I am till holding natural gas and CQP is another.

The richest people own 10% of the stocks. That will grow.

Any opinion on what Constellation Wines pulled off on Canopy yesterday????

Hugeeeeee!!

I got a small position but it's making a big impact on the portfolio today.

Once those barriers get broken down, especially in the the US, it will be a windfall.

Just need to be patient.

I may allocate some money to just those stocks.

Personally, I have pain in my neck constantly and even though it can be costly, I absolutely love CBD drinks.

CBD is big part of my pain control, those drinks are effective. Cali has new rules where everything is getting tested and standardized.

It affected the drink makers and some dispensaries are still waiting to stock them. Not sure what the hold is with the CBD water.

Good industry that has grown and will grow so much more.

GOGL with a bump today. It's in a trading range.

The Baltic index up one day, down the other.

SEA very low.

Chipotle once again getting people sick in Ohio.

I bought gold last week. Of course it went down. I won't rebuy.

Gold is down because of the strong dollar which is way up and one could argue at a peak considering a $21 trillion debt. But it won't start heading north until the dollar stops surging.

I buy physical gold and silver with stock profits usually. Hell yeah I'm buying now! The metals are more of a store of wealth for me, makes me sleep easy at night knowing I have real physical (non fiat) money.

"Hansen, like former Tesla technician Martin Tripp, is represented in his complaint by Stuart Meissner. In a statement through Meissner on Thursday, Hansen accused Tesla of:

• Failing to disclose to shareholders that $37 million worth of copper and other raw materials were stolen from the Gigafactory in the first half of 2018;
• Spying on employees, specifically by wiretapping and hacking their cell phones and computers;
• Failing to disclose to local law enforcement and to the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency that Gigafactory employees may have been in drug trafficking; and
• Retaliating against Hansen for raising such issues, internally, by firing him in mid-July."

This keeps getting better and better! It is at a Shakespearean drama level.

I hear that and I get that.

How this stock still hovers over $300 is beyond me, institutions trimmed by 20% in Q2. Looks like they are selling to retail, who will be the inevitable bag holders

“sec investigating whether musk tweeted about potential deal to hurt short sellers

sec wants to know what musk shared with tesla directors about potential deal-dow jones“

SEC is actually pulling out the big guns on this one, about time!

[KVB]

We'll see.

If it's true that the Saudi's had no deal and Musk was relying on those talks when he said "funding secured" then I don't see how there isn't a problem. He fukked up.

But it's already slimy and slippery, already.

I would love to see the Saudi’s join one of the already many class action lawsuits. That would be terrific.

I do too. I sleep a little better when it's going up though.

[kidcudi92]

True, but in the end it’ll always be worth something no matter what. Has been for thousands of years, won’t stop now.

I don’t wanna say I’m paranoid or anything because I’m not, but I have plenty of ammo etc. I sleep better knowing I have the means to protect my goods/family etc and if SHIT really hits the fan, I am ready.

Gold was 1000 an ounce in 1980. 250 in 1999. 75% decline over a 19 yr period.

Well, in all fairness, the game was changed when we stopped needing gold to back the dollars and they could just print money out thin air because other money loaned out.

It's been a house of cards since and takes QE, or more money printed out of thin air because it was loaned out, to keep it afloat.

We live in a crazy world.

“Your using gold the wrong way. Gold IS the measure. Here is an example:

A home I own could have been purchased in 1950 for $8,500 or 206 ounces of gold.
This home was sold in 2012 for $330,000 or 199 ounces of gold.

You needed 3,800% more dollars and essentially the same gold”

you are clearly a very bright and respected person around here when it comes to the market.

more than the tabloid aspect of that dipshit Musk and TSLA, i am concerned about how it will affect the market and how we can take advantage.

curious to know your thoughts on how a bull like me who does not play the options game, can take advantage if TSLA goes does with musk

So..... a house sold in 1980 could be bought for 75% less in 1999?

Well... in all fairness we had runaway inflation in 1980 and gold was $850

IMO the only good gold will do for you as a long term investment is if the dollar goes belly up.

Show me a decline like that in the S&P over a 20 yr period...

I agree with greaser. But dont mind holding somewhat dead money. When I was born gold was $26 an ounce. But $26 could buy you a prime young calf. Today, an ounce of gold can still buy ya a prime young calf.

That’s the thing, I don’t view gold as an investment, it’s a physical store of wealth that isn’t made of paper.

Shorting TSLA is the only way other than options.

Shorting is a very - very - very risky business though.

You can end up losing MORE than your original investment

[kidcudi92]

Interesting JPM...very interesting

[RoyBacon]

Another nice gain overnight +92.

[RoyBacon]

Boys we are going to open flat. TSLA down another $4. Gold flat.

Looks like we could put in a low volume flat day. There is not a single global exchange +/- more than .5%. Might have to play some golf today.

[jjgold]

50% ever day whether an instrument goes up or down regardless of anything you think you know.
