Silver seems to be on the rise now it broke $17.

Did anyone here buy into XIV when I was talking about it back in Jan/Feb? It got down to $16 then, and today it's $28.50. I know it's not PMs, but since we were talking about it, I figured it was worth an update. TSLA is another stock I'll be carefully watching over the next few months.

Same on TSLA.
TSLA holding much better than I thought at cheap oil p.
I don't know I wanna go long on it, but worth plaYing little $ with technicals.

My mutual funds all have Amazon as one of the top holdings and they have done pretty well over the past few years, mostly due to Amazon's success. Amazon has a very secure (and still expanding) hold on that market.

What's more are their data centers being leased by EVERYONE. Including Apple and Google to name a few. Look in a UPS truck and you'll wonder why it doesn't say Amazon on the side of the truck. USPS too. Ask a UPS driver who really keeps them in business today.

I wasn't looking at Apple but my BIL says it's likely to see some growth this year due to lack of growth last year. Should start seeing some cool tech coming from them soon. They're beginning to produce original content for AppleTV. And are still strong among youth.

A little article about Japan and the financial mess they've created, lots of parallels with the EU and USA.

Japan's Keynesian death spiral began almost three decades ago. In 1986 the value of the Japanese yen almost doubled relative to the US dollar. Consequently, Japan's mammoth export sector took a beating. Businesses with political influence found they could achieve higher returns not by innovating or cutting costs, but rather, by pressuring the political and monetary elite to flood the market with cheap credit.

Bought some yesterday through another seller who was a few $$ cheaper. Click the link and it's $26 more. Guess silver is on the rise. I bought in at $410.

$408 currently.

Yeah, it was already $1 more expensive on Monday morning. Silver has been rising a little since Friday so I'm not surprised the price has risen commensurately.

I was really hoping silver was going to hit 10$. Looks like thats not going to happen any time soon.

Meanwhile, oil continues to march upward. WTI over $45 and Brent over $47.

Thinking about picking up Amazon. It's over $600/share and should be splitting soon.

Glad I picked up Amazon last week. Holy shit!
