Hey mate,what do you think of Harley Davidson right know,would you buy.

Not me, I didn't like Harley Davidson well before any tariff issues or recent events.

I don't like the outlook, there have to better plays.

Even BAC, which already moved on us from 27 to over 31...

Question --- for your core index fund to heavily invest in, would you choose:

VTSMX (vanguard total return fund) which has yielded 14.6% in the last twelve mos and costs $71

or

SPY (SPDR S&P 500) which has also yielded 14.6% in the last twelve mos and costs $283

???

thinking of taking small himx. do you think it is done free falling?

[KVB]

thinking of taking small himx. do you think it is done free falling?

This is tough to time for sure. I have it at 8.05 and have been busy with sports, watching it go down.

Your article was a good one, making a case to be bearish, so be careful coming in, I'd want to see some buying stop the fall first. I considered another average down hoping to get out on a pop, but I'm not sold on that idea yet. The options aren't very liquid either.

Perhaps we get a takeover candidate here, but that could be out there in time.

I have collected written call money dividend from these guys, but it is by far the worst position I own, down about $1300 real dollars.

I am off about $300 unrealized with GE, that's it, and just dipped negative with LNG and its options.

HIMX is my only black mark. I need to get back to stocks but sports funds have been dominating my time.

Let's keep looking at this Chico and stay in touch about it. I'll try to dig something up but your article was very thorough.

Remember, we suffer from Asian worries, (which include tariff), tech worries, and even semiconductor worries specifically, when they arise.

There just might be a better play for your money.

I just hit the Schwab research page for a little bit of info.

It looks like HIMX announces earnings on Thursday, before the bell. That means this recent drop may not bode well.

Analyst see a jump in revenue from the second quarter last year and they expect earnings of literally a half penny per share.

The good news is that it is profit and negative annualized growth seems to be trending the right direction. This could be a play for a longer time frame.

Tough to explain the recent drop altogether but maybe it's best to wait for earnings before considering a buy, not sure it's behaving like it will pop.

Then again, if it does, it will show it Mon-Wed, the time it could bounce up, just as you watch it go...lol.

It's a tough one Chico.

or

SPY (SPDR S&P 500) which has also yielded 14.6% in the last twelve mos and costs $283

???

VTSMX looks like a no load mutual fund with low fees as well. I have the expense ratio at .14%. It has a distribution yield of 1.55%

That SPY is an ETF with an expense ratio of .09%. It has a 1.82% distribution yield.

As usual, with an ETF, you pay the managers less, and this time they seem to give some back in the yield.

SPY has an option chain, you won't find that with the mutual fund.

I tend to favor the ETF's but you may be able to pick up more shares, taking better advantage, of a short term move with the mutual fund at those prices.

Unless you want to trade the SPY options.

[chico2663]

I don't short but i will apologize to the group for not telling you to go against pes and bkep. May have been to cheep for some of you but could of made a killing on both.

i'm a chicken shit. Or a meiser so when it dropped a dollar I got rid of it. But i like to try to make my losses up. Freaking killed me with enron and seadrill. But made major money on e.t.e/ e.t.p./sun. I have 100 shares of sun the exdate is 6th . Not sure if this is true but was told that i can sell on 7th which is record date. Could someone tell me if this is true. figure i will take the 900 with gain and go to the track. Used to be baller like some of you kids but 29 day visit to hospital and 6 month of rehab drained my ass

check sun. it is part of same family with giving out more dividend

[RoyBacon]

Oh yea, I had some SUN but switched to ETE when their merger failed. Gawd I should have bought more ETE. I think I got some under $5 or maybe $6. I'm down to my last batch of ETP and I'll be completely out of that Mon. But still have a load of JMF and JMLP. It's not an industry I want a lot of exposure in case there is a blue wave.

By the way, I wouldn't let ETE's 6.5% dividend be a deterrent chico. I know you like it higher. I think that dividend goes up 50% after the merger or in about a year. ETE will be a $25 stock by then.

I'm getting my stuff shoved in on BABA and BIDU.

Luckily I didn't buy much. Too gun shy to average down.

[KVB]

Probably smart to wait and see here, BIDU leveling out a bit.

I have LNG and they announce earnings on Thurs before the open and am long options (not much cash out there on these, should have bought more contracts).

I just wish China would even hint that they will shift from burning coal to gas, just a hint.

TSLA, those billionaires have deep pockets and are playing a game.

It's a game we just shouldn't try to play, they are laughing at the shorts right now.

Un-fukkin-real, because this is not a normal stock.

There must be illegal manipulation.

I've seen this before with smaller issues when I was in investment banking.

So glad I am not involved.
