OT: Stock trading

[the Q]

Local company (reit) NLCP looks really intriguing to me

 

[giddyup]

Like WEAT ((Wheat commodity ETF) for a run up. Trades @$10 and is historically bound at $25. With the Ukraine war and impending global wheat shortage it should move up nicely . Not a long term hold and don’t get greedy.

What does make something mean? There are public companies that “make something”

Some “make something” called electricity with excellent dividends.

Chasing dividend stocks isn't always the answer but I digress.

Chasing dividend stocks isn't always the answer but I digress.

You can digress into a hole. Solid utility stocks with a solid 4% or higher quarterly payout is not “chasing”, but like any stock check the fundamentals and any bond offerings. If you want to “chase” something find something with more volatility and brush up on your technical analysis.

 

[Jaker]

OK, so list your favorite dividend stocks??

 

[CTBasketball]

It’s clearly been propped up by oligarchs and criminals moving and hiding money. Sounds like a great investment :/.

You should analyze our own stock market. It’s the most corrupt thing in the entire world.

Any thought on Garmin or Nikon (NINOY)

I always say the market makers have their agendas at any given time to push the market up or down and can float stories to support that agenda. Market gets too overheated, cue CPI, inflation, bond yield spikes or rate hike stories. Market sells off, buy and create optimism. Rinse and repeat. Not to mention the corruption with IPOs, members of Congress making fortunes etc. More and more the play seems to be don’t fight it, trade the spikes. Seems like volatility is here to stay for the rest of the year, and possibly much longer.

I’ve been closely analyzing 5-6 stocks for the past year and a half, they are all highly manipulated and the ways they do it is so grimy and illegal. Even at the micro level they do this. Holding back buy orders, hedging on calls to drive price up/down, it goes on and on. They can literally force a stock to run at open like 15%, then buy puts and then take the wheels off and drive it down 30%.

And the SEC is asleep as always. We’re all on the roller coaster.

Awfully quiet here...

Can someone... anyone... give me a beam of hope for LINK. Is it buying season?

Depending on your time horizon, it may be buying season for everything.

Somebody else needs to explain all of this, because I can't. My own hypothetical is that things are tanking because the odds of it just blowing up into a great depression level spiral are as high as they've been. Government is politically incapable doing what it needs to do to solve it, which would include incentivizing as much oil and gas production as possible just to stabilize things.

My time horizon is 30 years. Just maxed out roth IRAs and HSA for wife and I today. Definitely buying season.

I'm not sure what the oil reference is about in regards to the market but interest rates are the primary reason for the current declines. I'm not sure how more domestic production stabilizes the market. If you're talking about oil prices the focus should be on OPEC where production is purposely being held back.

Further, oil producers have no interest in hiking output moreso than already planned. They've been burned before.

Bloomberg - Are you a robot?

Exactly. Oil producers got burned bad in 2020 when oil sat on ships with no where to go. They will not make that mistake again. So many of the domestic producers shut down around that time as well unfortunately. It was just not profitable for them at those price points.

We need supply chain issues to dissipate and the Fed has to raise rates and cool the economy without plunging us into a recession. It remains to be seen whether they can do that ((looks like Powell thinks so), but fingers crossed for some type of soft landing. The Fed let things run hot for too long and we are feeling it now.

I’m getting absolutely slaughtered right now in my crypto and individual stock portfolio but still dumping extra cash every paycheck on top of my normal weekly buys across all my accounts. If you have job stability, can stomach it, and have a long term outlook recessions are great times to build long term wealth.

In theory yes. But people will be getting margin called soon, so they will continue to sell to free cash up. Everyone is highly over-leveraged.

I’m not buying again until we are near rock bottom. Not close yet IMO. Save the cash for now.

Near impossible to predict the bottom. Could nibble on some of the really good companies.
