Which news? The new Euro auto tarriffs?

Seriously?

He was fingered by Cohen and Manafort

Seriously?

He was fingered by Cohen and Manafort

That's more probably action than he's gotten since going to the White House.

But seriously, market doesn't care about that. Market does care about crazy tariff wars.

Well. That is basically what I was saying.

Thank you for informing me

[homie1975]

Market doesn't care if a prez appears to be in some hot water? Any excuse to sell. Any . Today's sell off started right when it was confirmed that Cohen accepted a plea

[KVB]

?

Futures are only down what would be expected after touching these highs.

IMO market is not concerned about the news re: Trump

Looking very resilient

With that said, let's see what happens in the AM

Agreed, Trump news not the issue and market will go down one day just because it's the market. Sometimes the news even reaches for "causes" of what become just standard trading days.

Everything is usually just an excuse for movement.

The dow futures are down 20 points. Not a "sell off". Business as usual... so far.

[homie1975]

can we all agree that markets move for some reason?

beit the trump tariff scare on EU cars yesterday, or his two associates found and pleading guilty, respectively, or money managers or others wanting to take some profits off the all time S&P highs, or perhaps as Roy Bacon says "good ole' rotation".

there was something that caused the markets to drop approx half a percent in AH trading yesterday. it was not a ghost.

Yes or No?

(trying to learn here, not trying to prove a point)

I wouldn't totally ignore it but I wouldn't over read it either. Sharp moves at the close that are not confirmed on the following open are non events imo.

As I mentioned a while back I think 2850 is a key spot on the SnP. I'm playing Oct SPY straddles betting we get a break one direction or the other. But we could push and pull a little in here.

The real estate stocks have really firmed up. There is probably a small flight to dividends as a resting place.

[kidcudi92]

I wake up every morning wondering who is paying over $300 a share for TSLA

Hell of a thing

[RoyBacon]

I need to run out clock on the TSLA Aug 24 calls without anything crazy happening. Looks to me it's returning to where it was pre-Musk's $420 phantom bid. I could see a range from $250-$350 for the next couple of quarters.

I try not to look at the technical analysis on this one too much, this is more of a the company is a heap of shit investment for me

[RoyBacon]

I just look at TSLA as $59 billion company that has way too much skin to grow into. At half that valuation it would still be very expensive. But darlings can and do run. It still takes 4 months to get a car.

Good post and I went to STWD and hung on to USRT and MORT. These things are off today but have run well since I bought them.

I am also positioned in Natural Gas with LNG, CQH and CQP, I like the management there in Jack Fusco and dividends are nice with those master LP's.

I hope Jack doesn't retire before they complete some projects.

Did anybody scoop up Nvidia right after last week's fall after earnings? Fell to $239, a week later back to a new high at $268.

Not me.

[homie1975]

BIDU earnings miss Not helping

BIDU earnings miss Not helping

Stock is fuggin me. Actually it was BABA that looked like solid numbers, stock was up $6, then a correction was made to the currency conversion and now not so good down $5. Bassstards.

[Goat Milk]

.727 %? Lol. Come on bro. You should look into biotech and biopharmaceuticals. Stop wasting your time collecting small money on a hundred different stocks and just focus on a few with big potential and let it sit. Invested in Geron at 2.60ish and it's already at 4 dollars and probably going to hit 10 bucks very soon.

Geron up 25% today.

[Goat Milk]

People on here happy to make 0.7% for the day? Lol.

Few thousand bucks isn't gonna change my life bro.

Chances are, it won't change yours either.

Every person who is rich in this country (from their own labor) is a risk taker. Every one.

I got burned by the traders on LNG.

My 66 call expired Friday and today the stock jumps over 66. I am bullish anyway, but no more trading these no liquid options.

GME, Gasmestop, has a big drop today due to cyber security news, a report released that, it's recently run a bit and has had news of a potential buyout, which took the stock off lows.

It's one to watch. I own it at 12.69 it is at 15.00 down 1.50. Dividend around 9% at these levels.

[brooks85]

easy winner;

FNKO

next year is going to be crazy for merch sales. 7 of top 10 highest grossing merch sales movies of all time release a movie next year. SBR one of the first places to hear this

And you have Game of Thrones ending on top of all the other big movies next year. Funkos are the new beanie babies except with staying power because instead of making random bears, they are licensing characters people actually care about.

how's 40% in a month?

and it's not even 2019 yet, that's when this company will really perform.
