OT: Stock trading

I know this is a mainly stock pick thread but what does everyone here think of commodities specifically gold, silver and platinum. Inflation expectations?? and do we actually think the fed will increase rates in a few years if inflation is rampant even though we have endless amounts of debt sloshing everywhere in the system?? Thanks!

Load up on them. Physical is the best to preserve your wealth but stocks can get you a lot of money. I have a bunch of stocks. Some of the stocks I have are $AEM $GOLD PPP $ SBSW $AUY $MTA $OUNZ. Looking to add $FNV $CEF $NGD CCO among others

I didn't quit my job, but have done quite well swing trading. Bummed that Mnuchin pulling funding didn't dump the market this morning so I can get back in. I may miss my chance before the stimulus. Volatility is your friend.

Is owning commodities the same as owning bond funds: Bond rates go down, the fund goes up, and visa versa. Or is it like in the movie - you're buying future commodities and betting the price will go up.

It's seen as an inflation hedge. It's largely betting on inflation, plus demand for that particular commodity. If it has an actual use, like copper, or the materials for batteries, demand plays a bigger role. Gold is mostly just inflation.

Normally, we'd expect massive inflation from all this spending, and insanely low interest rates. But inflation has not behaved normally in some time. You can buy the actual item (e.g. physical gold), but there are exchange traded funds that hold commodities, and that's probably the most practical approach. Mining stocks are another way to play that.

The money has just been dumped into stocks and companies. Prices have started to go up but not what people have been saying they will.
 
As a former gold trader loved this statement, Many a small fortune has been made trading the yellow metal, unfortunately the investor started with a large fortune.

Sh...t coins/alt coins about to pop. BTC FOMO kicking in this weekend.

I haven't been researching crypto as much as I used to, particularly because the stock market has been fun enough. But one can't help to notice that altcoins are not following btc like the last time it went off. Been buying up alts as their sats decrease with btc's rise. Waiting for the pop.
 
The market has been too hot.

my stocks are no longer buys (went from over 5% yields to under 4%, which is a sign over overpriced for my investing system)

Is the market too hot though? There’s a clear pattern now of investors staying in tech but rotating out of big cap and into small to mid cap tech. Who’s to say some of these smaller cap tech stocks like CRNC don’t still have a lot of room to run yet?

And just like that, most alts up +15% today. Still a lot of room to reach tulip level prices.

Timed XRP breakout almost perfectly. Had been watching for a month after Scot-e suggested, took the plunge at .30. Looking to add ETH and Litecoin soon. Exciting times.
 
I was up at 2am this morning waiting for Best Buy to go live with a Nintendo Switch deal (Christmas present for my kid) for Black Friday and flipped on The Big Short on Roku (which I own!). Reminded me of how effed up that whole situation was. What a time it was to be working in the asset management business.

Very good movie. The Fed and government created the problem, the Fed and government bailed them, fixed nothing, inflated an even bigger bubble.
Wait until the pension crisis hits

Great documentary on the ‘08 crisis. Also look up Tom Woods- Meltdown on YouTube and read his book.

Any other crypto investors into HEX? Find it a interesting take on a certificate of deposit. Looks like a great store of wealth. You buy HEX and stake it- big penalties for removing stake early. At end of stake get a ballon payment in HEX. As people stake the supply drops and therefor the price increases. I like projects I can buy and forget about for a few years and let the project just do its thing.
