Long Position on Silver and Gold?

[Sawin]

Weibo Corp (WB) might be one to watch (or buy). It's China's twitter, in essence. I've been playing with it for months now, it peaked at about 140 and bottomed at 53. The 50MA is now gaining in it's 60's, with very strong financials every quarter.

Yes, it's China. Yes, there's probably some manipulation as there is in every stock. But, at this point its lower risk (can only bottom down so much further), very high value, which is unusual in the market. If anyone is wondering why it dropped, it's buyer confidence after trade wars, primarily, which is moronic on it's face because China's twitter isn't exported/imported. *but*, what is the stock market if not general buyer sentiment and a presumption of what buyer sentiment will be driving panic.

I agree 100%. Now is a great time to buy WB!
For what it may be worth, I have been buying WB, JD, BABA, IQ, BILI, and EMQQ (an ETF, providing exposure to more tech companies in the emerging market sector) during this down turn and am loving it, despite being "down"... I believe it is a very good idea to buy and hold equities like these for a few years.

I am officially going to invest significantly less. I will still invest little on super beat up ones with some potential. I will do very little options, but I do not want to tie my money in this stock market. I dont care i miss out at this price. Simply put, no long, no short for now.
Today is 2/15/2018.

whoop-de-doo.....
Sure I was right, but it was about 5-7% difference between right and wrong. Basically near even.

Looks like indicies will be head-and-shoulder- [knee and toes knees and toes].

It is just showing 1 shoulder and head forming as of 11am.

Fed raised the rate again.

The rates were too low during much of the messiah's reign but I think the Fed is raising them too quickly. There may be some relief as the Fed projects only 2 rate increases next year, not 3 like they planned in September 2018.

Can't overlook the politics here either, the Fed would have much preferred Hillary since they bought and paid for her.

I am taking a beating in the markets. Very depressing.

Yeah, I try not to look when I know the markets are down, and I look often when they are up. Just gotta remember, the long haul and all....

Russia sabre rattling, technological stagnation, glut of oil,too much money vs too little good & services.
North Atlantic cod stock decimated, emerging infectious diseases. Xmas and investors withdrawing funds. Think pictures, not words. Merry Christmas.

I bought some stock in Newmont about a month ago. This may be interesting especially if gold prices come back up after the deal.

I seriously thought all indicies would be lower today.

During the siege of Stalingrad the gold to silver ratio was out of wack due to the weight of silver compared to gold. When people flee danger or oppression they travel light and gold is much easier then silver to carry.
I'm reconsidering my holdings of silver due to the current police state and the building of barriers to hinder my travel.
The population as a whole are to young to remember when silver was actually used in coins and the dollar was a silver certificate.
For some reason gold is always a attractive metal.
