On a side note I keep getting these calls from some ,"affordable insurance" asking if they could lower my auto insurance rate and since they are of India accent I presume they are a scammer. So they ask if I have a car and I of course say yes. "Well, if I can lower your insurance rate would you be interested. "I don't carry insurance , it's too expensive". They always pause there. "well , so you drive without insurance". Me: "yes I'm a safe driver" Click! |

Guns and real estate is for buying and not for selling.......and thats how I have played my stocks so far. I`m waiting for IBIO to reach 3 or 4 within a few months and I`ll pull the trigger.

Haha. I guess there are a number of reasonable perspectives. Point taken. In my defense, my parents are hoarders and their answer to everything is to put it in a shed and keep it, so I'm very sensitive about NOT becoming a hoarder. And my other advantage is that I live in the middle of a city, so on the rare occasions where I need a car I can walk to a rental car place and get one for $50 or so. It's way cheaper than keeping my own car. |

LOL Ghak. Dad has grandpas D and 2 of his airplanes. That’s about the extent of the sentimental crap he has. I can’t believe you keep that under roof. Dad used to keep just a goddamned mountain of shit. Because “you might be able to make something out of that someday”. I started asking him why he built an expensive ass shop to store bullshit in? Started putting numbers on it and he got the picture.
There’s still shit around, but we’re headed the right direction. |

Not to drift away from the finance talk but some of these "hoarding" type stories makes me wonder what ages we are talking of. There is definitely an age group that lived through the depression or raised by those who lived through the depression that could easily explain why some folks refuse to give anything up that isnt broken.

It's really unfortunate. They live in about 250 square feet in their house because there are piles of things everywhere, most of which has no value, and they spend money on places to store other stuff that has no real value. Their lives would be so much better if we could take a month and haul it all off, but they're adamantly protective of it. |

I started buying stocks on 3-11 and since then I've bought into about 30 different holdings. I'm up 30% on those investments. I want these to be long term investments so I feel good about it. If things go well by the time Trump gets re-elected the Dow 30 will hit 30,000. and I'll be up at least 50% overall on my investments. I still have lots of dry powder too so the options are limitless. I hate to follow the herd so I don't own FB or AMZN although I do own some APPL. I wish I had bought some FB and AMZN. I still might because they will most likely just keep going up.

I'd be a very happy man if the Dow hits 30,000 this year. |
