My concern is that the top 8-10 stocks in the S&P500 (FAANG's) seem to be the only things producing the gains in the S&P 500 while the other 490 are bobbing for air or worse. Not a good look.
I caught this yesterday from Barrons:
"Automakers pulling back some control over their products from Apple and Google is an effort to avoid the fate of the personal computer industry. While Microsoft dominated the operating systems and other provid…
@Old_Joe - for future reference, check out FSELX the next time you want to play with the semi's. I had been closely observing Buffetts play with TSMN and had considered joinging him but other buys elsewhere got in the way. Once he existed it all I s…
One of my issues with M*'s portfolio tracker was that it seemed to always calculate reinvestment of dividends using the price figure on the opening of the ex-date. That may or may not be the way companies did it who (used to) held your stock interna…

58,220 military personnel gave their all to date. The rest of us have been killed but we're just waiting for AO to finish us off. RIP my brothers and sisters. So sad.
I bought XLF this morning against my better judgement. I hate investing in 'financials' and tend to ignore them in total BUT with tech moving up and almost all of the supposedly inflation resistant sectors (e.g. finance, energy, utilities, REIT's) m…
We should all have learned by now that @Baseball_Fan never feels the need to back up the garbage he spews with actual and truthful facts or references. He lays on his back barfing at the ceiling expecting it all to stick up there. Then after a day o…
Can anyone explain why preferred shares are taking it on the chin today other than guilt by association? I can somewhat understand why financial firm shares are getting hit but I don't own any of those nor would I.
