@Ted @Crash - Thanks! These are exactly the type of suggestions that he seems to be looking for i.e "cash now" producing investments as well as growth and income investments. I've also suggested to him Harbor Bond Fund (HABDX) and Dodge & Cox I…
What a joke! Manafort gets 47 months while another man is looking at 36 - 72 months for stealing $100 worth of quarters from a residential laundry room ...

While I agree that these reasons are reasons to be bullish, the unpredictable and profoundly negative influence that Donald Trump has on the planet greatly outweighs the combination of all of the bullish reasons outlined in this article.
@larryB - I thought that the article I posted last Friday with comments from that dotard Jim Cramer about how mutual fund investors are getting "hosed" provided some thoughtful discussion ...

Here is an interesting video from Canada's BNN (Can't ignore the growth):

Many of the pot stocks in this ETF have been on an absolute tear the last 3 or 4 months. Canopy Growth (TWMJF) was up 12% yesterday (12.27) and is up another 6% today, perhaps due to this new ETF starting on 12.26. This sector is still incredibly …
Another good way to play the growth in China's internet sector is via T. Rowe Price Emerging Markets Stock Fund (PRMSX). Almost 22.5% of its holdings are in Tencent and Alibaba.

I like IGV a lot, as well as PRGTX IGV is an etf devoted solely to N. American software companies. Because it's a concentrated sector etf it can therefore be volatile, but the earnings of software companies such as Oracle, Adobe and Salesforce.co…
Thanks Skeet. I prefer a monthly format as a quarterly thread would likely become very lengthy. I'll also fence-sit and suggest a continuation of this bi-monthly format.
Give the quarterly version a try (as you're doing) and see how it works, b…
Long thread but I don't think I've seen the etf IGV mentioned. It's a sector etf focused on N. American software companies with Oracle, Adobe, and Salesforce.com amongst its largest holdings. I've held this etf since Feb. and have added on pullbac…
I'd like to see GOOGL and AMZN do 10:1 splits, making their shares go down to roughly $100. AAPL did a 7:1 split a few years back as its share price was $700+. I own these stocks via funds, FCNTX has done well owning these names, but I'm worried t…
I think that weed related companies will be a huge investment opportunity in the not too distant future, but we're not there yet. Once Canada legalizes recreational weed next year, then the investing door will open a bit wider. Right now weed inve…
@bee - People made more money selling picks and shovels to prospectors in the gold rush than the actual prospectors made digging for gold.
My opinion is similar to Canada's PM Justin Trudeau. The stuff is already out there with the profits going t…

@ fellow Michiganders - Having grown up in the 80's, Michigan's economy has sucked as long as I've been alive. Flint has always sucked. I suppose that the strength of the phrase, "Michigan's economy sucks" has only increased during my lifetime ...
