What stocks are you trading today

Haven’t owned any stocks in years. Learned a dot com lesson with the $2000 tuition cost, IMO, a very cheap education. Somehow the AI rush feels a lot like the dot com rush felt then.

Can’t believe some of the herd sizes posted here! I’m impressed. We have a few head of stock on a small farm that keeps everyone busy. The variety is fun :)

It’s a tricky period to time the market. Global factors say the market will
Slide. But the building blocks put in place by Scott Bessent say 2026 should be another record setting year.

The global issues (foreign trading partners losing trust in the dollar, petrodollar, etc) will continue to push Precious metals up.

Jerome Powell holding Pat on interest
Rates will help hold inflation down. And keep a card in his hand if the economy needs help in the future.

Hopefully Trump knows that Jerome Powell is actually helping him out by not lowering interest rates right now. and Trump is just pandering to the electorate.

Lowering interest rates now would cause inflation and then lose that ammunition when you most need it. In the past, the Fed has lowered it too soon. Then when they need another boost to the economy, there’s nothing left. They already used their cards.

my defense stocks did quite well indeed. This year only outperformed by Gold/Miners.

Of note with defense stocks, they tend to be priced at a premium, and dividends are treated as if always assured, because war is considered to be a permanent reality in financial markets. German defense stocks have been much in demand, too, and I imagine any EU boost to defense spending will spread across the continent.
 
If I were advising any young career earner with investment planning, it would be diversification divided into thirds. 1/3 Careful land investment, with focus on location and local political future. 1/3 Shared, tax friendly IRA, especially Roth. The only DIY stock investment recommendation would be to steer completely clear of individual stocks and invest a max of their 1/3 of total expendable “play money” into an S&P 500 index fund. And finally to protect all that future financial security…. avoid debt like the plague!

What a sweetie in the last picture. Every tough guy dad’s heart melts when it comes to their daughters. Mine’s in college, and she was about her age like last week. They grow so fast, so enjoy every minute you have with her!

Thanks! :) That’s Micaila Mae, our youngest rugrat. She’s 4. My oldest rugrat is a college senior here. They do grow up so quickly. I can detect changes almost daily. We visit on messenger video once or twice a day.

Yea I know
But I still have most of my fencing just needs to be patched up. (Mikle in 18)
Thinking of buying some poor cows that have not been feed enough to bring top money.
Betting on them being breed.
I have built a heard starting with 3 dairy cows before.
But looking to eat off the heard and just sell any extra steers.

I hear you. I spent $1450 total on the first three cows I bought around 7 years ago. Sold a steer from one of them and it brought $950. The other steer I ate and kept the heifer calf. It can still definitely be done. Now my type of cow has gone up like the rest
 
I bought SLV (Silver) and MSFT today. I love 30% off silver and 11% off microsoft sales.

There were a HUGE amount of for-delivery silver futures contracts due today. Some big wigs crashed the sector to prevent a physical silver catastrophe. Physical orders fulfilled. I bet Silver bounces back by 1/3 to 1/2 the losses in the next week.

Most of the market is vastly overvalued so I thought MSFT after a minor hiccup was the best on-sale item to pick.
 
Before your an old man Rookhawk silver will be $350. It may be $350 in two years. Hopefully not. That would mean the Dollar tanked. But a hedge is nice

I took the dairy cows crossed with a good aunges bull keep the hefiers and sold the steers. Bought cracker/ longhorn after they out grew ropeing stock. Back then cheap 300$ or under
There x calves at 6 months were bringing 0.65 a lbs.
Then stared buying in beefmaster cows.

Them had a few deaths in the family had to sell down to pay for furnerals then in a few years the storms started and I got less and less able
So sold mostly out.
 
Another thumbs up I’ll give Carney is delivering a speech from the Plains of Abraham, just to remind Quebec why they exist.
 
Added some btc at 78k. Not sure if the April lows will provide support or if it will fall through. Looked like a good buying opportunity with markets down.

Interesting news today

Stellantis, the maker of Jeep, is facing significant challenges as it announced a $26.5 billion write-down due to overestimations of electric vehicle demand, leading to a 25% drop in its stock. This restructuring reflects a shift towards hybrids and traditional vehicles amidst declining EV interest.

Click to expand...

And they have 360 days of inventory of 3/4 ton pickups on the lots. And Jeep has the lowest quality and customer satisfaction scores since American Motors owned them in 1980.

Stellantis is screwed, operated like a socialized government auto maker with Renault and Citroen thinking.

Using EVs as an excuse for the fact that they haven't been selling hardly any vehicles for a long time, but have had prices kept jacked up.

All the manufacturers and dealerships are struggling to admit this and give up their inflated prices. Stellantis is the most glaring example.

Hi - the only (best) method of sending you the .375/06IMP data is with photographing my book notes. My camera died so the only way I can do it is with my phone. To do that, I would need your e-mail address, as this
new Android phone is too complicated to upload to my desk computer, which would be easier and to down-grade, reduce the file sizes.
Best wishes
Daryl

Hey Steve, This is Steve Washington we met at KMG last year. I am interested in your Winchester. Would love to speak with you about it. I work third shift and I cannot take a phone with me to work. Let me know a good time to call during one of your mornings. My phone is [redacted]. Live in Florida so I have to account for the time difference.
Look forward to hearing from you.

Good day, Slider.

Do you by any chance have any 500NE brass left that you are willing to part ways with?

Best regards,
Boela Bekker.
