Stock Market Talk and Trading - part 2

We are still waiting for your picks Ptak.

6 stocks.

Outperform my choices and you will earn the right to call me names

Post your last account statement. Bleck out personal data and then talk about your choices.

I own 1 million shares of Tesla and 10 million of Amazon.

In the meantime...Why are EU tariffs good, but US tariffs bad?

Nope.

6 choices Ptak. Hurry up though - it's almost two months now we are waiting

This is the markets thread. EU and US tariffs are both bad for the market.

My 6 choices are those stocks that appreciated the most in the last 12 months.

You can look it up yourself. Nobody here is your secretary.

Even at my best, I often find myself boring and uninteresting. Let me tell you why. Ages ago , on AOL Polish Message Board, there were hundreds of Polish participants with the ratio of 99 authentic, normal, rough people to one genius. I recall one individual, semi-illiterate but with sharp comments and a wealth of common sense, who put most of the bloviators to shame. However, with the advent of Google and Wikipedia, the ratio has changed unnaturally, as it is boring ,talking to Google instead of lovely Paulina. Today, even Milo sounds like a genius, not too often, but "Od wielkiego dzwonu." Even CMS' well let's not get carried away he is for ever the Golden Moron, the rest of them pure genius wonder if Google is responsible for sudden IQ rise, or what happen to normal people interested in every day affairs, not just tirelessly saving the world instaling and removing the king from their trones. F*ck I am not normal I need the laugh and humor, and lovely Paulina

Today, you can't be sure...

Paulina might Paul so don't rush to have a date until you see irrefutable evidence.

So you suggest that the strange appendage, overhanging the pubic area should be avoided and treated with suspicion even if the subject of my affection
claims she is a woman? In the complex world of today, people constantly ask the question: Who or what is the woman?

Why have you babies been posting this filth on the market thread ?

For the same reason why you, Golden Moron, post crap about Nigeria in the U-R war thread.

For financial markets, I may buy more Rolls Royce and possibly look at GE.

And whatever the usual suspects say, gold (even though high) always rises long term.



Foul.

Save your breath cms, I have brought it to both the Administrators attention in the past but they seem content to let it continue.


They all look good to me except for AAPL in my personal opinion and we know that I have been wrong before.
I think that AAPL will stagnate this summer.
We'll see.

Do you have anything to say about the market ? Or do you only comment on trans issues ?

So the zloty unsurprisingly isn't very keen on the election of inexperienced and corrupt fools. But should recover when foreign investors realize he doesn't have much power. I do expect a permanent knock to some of the state companies, etc., as the government was doing good work in ridding their boards of the sinecures and pig farmers

Only slightly and that is because the U.K. is such a tiny country compared to France so it is easy to twist that statistic.
The whole truth is that France is a much bigger tourist destination than what the U.K. is by far making them the number one destination in Europe.

Getting back on topic however, the market is holding its own with all the turmoil in the world right now.
The latest today is that Australia has uncovered one of the biggest deposits of iron ore in the world. $$$$$
Get in on the bottom level.....buy low, sell high.

It's a time to buy PLN and has nicely corresponded with a biggish expense today..

There is likely to be volatility though due to uncertainty about how he'll handle the next crisis. It will settle, however we can expect sell offs.


It's generally better when he doesn't.

That is a given.
Another example is the suffering U.K. as the UK inflation surges to 3.5% in April as household bills spiked.
Being the pay rate is so low in the U.K. it makes it tuff to make ends meet with such volatility.
Sell offs are expected just to survive.

What a load of cobblers.


Yesterday was a very good time to change a few k.

So, jonieboy, what should Trump do to bring US manufacturing jobs back home?

Take your dumb dementia question off this thread - you have asked it and been answered many times.

This is about what tariffs do to the market, not about some whingeing ass bums who want "manufacturing jobs" back and can't compete.

And right on cue, Rolls Royce (as mentioned in post 400) went up nicely.

This was not unexpexted due to the strategic defence review which was released a little while before the markets closed.

Very nice over 6 months - 47 percent up, plus a strong GBP.

I am having a small punt on Asseco - Polish IT company very invloved in govt infrastructure. It is already 100 percent up last 6 months so I might be too late but just a few k zloty.

The Daily Telegraph is suggesting they'll keep rising. If they win the SMR contract they'll rocket

I've got some and will probably buy more.

The same company that happily supplied apartheid South Africa and is currently facilitating genocide in Palestine?

Edit
Its not a dig at you but at the morality free bollox that passes for modern economics

@Barney
Ethical investment is always best, and it's possible though not easy to do right.. End users of military plane engines aren't always the best people though.

If you scratch most large multinationals hard enough you'll find something. We can't all change the world in one go, though. It's important to find something achievable and stick to it.

It's not so much about who buys military tech (better from us than from China, America, France or r*SSia) as whether or not they're unionised, do they use zero hours contracts or fake 'b2b' stuff (an office bid is not a business, despite the contracts companies use to avoid tax), have they donated to Tory/reform/libdem/snp/green and have they closed down factories in my country and switched production abroad.

In many ways, I'm done boycotting things. Old age beckons and if it's a choice between being absolutely altruistic and freezing in front of a one bar fire and being fairly altruistic and toasty warm, it has to be the latter.

@jon357
Its not easy to find ethical investment opportunities with pension funds etc entwined in the chain. I would argue however that the bare minimum would be for countries to enforce court rulings. The ICJ found Israel responsible for the crime of apartheid meaning that there should be sanctions imposed by those countries that claim to abide by the so called rules based order. There have been 40,000 refugees created in the west bank in the past year and where do those people go? A lot will try to reach Europe and North America. Both places have differing degrees of responsibility for the creation of these refugees.

European defence industries would then be a great place to invest. I do feel uncomfortable with private institutions profiting from tax payer money so favour the nationalised model for essential industries. Have all the competition you want between toothpaste and vacuum companies but public utilities should be run for the benefit of the electorate. Privatisation has been a disaster exposing the competition argument for the nonsense it is. Ending large investors ability to unduly profit from government contracts is a must. Small, private investors wouldnt make much difference and I see no harm in allowing them to gamble after all we have bingo and the lottery.

Nobody ever mentions Egypt in all this. A country of 110 million with the largest conurbation in Africa right next to the Gaza Strip and where most of the Gaza residents are from. They haven't even opened their border. Do I personally approve of Bibi's approach? No, he has crossed a serious line. Gaza and Palestine? A lost cause and a sort of benchmark of "Moral Purity", especially among those (UK is full of them) who really don't grasp that the concept of nationhood and/or countries is a colonial construct in the Arab world or how Iran and Egypt are driving the whole conflict.. There are threads on this, anyway.


At the moment, yes. A lot of contracts will be happening however we may yet have to nationalise, depending on how serious it gets. Privatised public utilities? Apart from certain (mostly small scale) exceptions, they should not exist.


That's how the Tories spun it when they did the sell offs. Even my granny was given gas board shares. I bought (and thank God sold quickly) some Post Office shares. Of course everything went to large corporate investors, mostly foreign.


I won 140 quid yesterday on the lotto! The first major win apart from 30 quid a few years back.

Premium bonds and (right now) gilts are a good way to invest too, and for the good of society.

When Egypt had free elections the border was opened then there was a coup. Since then Israel has full control of the Egypt/Gaza border in breach of their treaty with Egypt. Most people in Gaza are from families ethnically cleansed from what became Israel. They do not have a right to return but some Americans and Russians with no connection to the place can go there as a right. Moral purity is to uphold the rules written by the "rules based order" they dont do that. Ukraine can also be called a lost cause and Putin does what he does because he is following the script written by NATO countries. PS I dont approve of what Putin is doing.

I understand there is a thread about the Levant but these things are intertwined.


Most I have ever won was £40 about 15 years ago but I do have a Euromillions for tonight so looks like I'll be a man of leisure from Wednesday on.

About investments, UK government bonds look more and more attractive. The higher than average yied due to trumpian instability make the interest much better.


Yep, the Qutbists, ideological fanatics bankrolled by the Gulf. Israel won't give an inch though, especially with their current parliamentary make-up; most Israelis (or their forebears from about 1880 onwards) fled there to escape centuries of persecution and pogroms across the Middle East; the coalition partners that have forced Bibi's hand and will end his government (and his persona liberty due to outstanding corruption charges) are mostly people a generation away from fleeing there for their lives.


It's the opposite of that; it is our enemy r*SSia showing why they must be crushed.


r*SSia wrote that script. The most evil polity by far on the planet right now.


Good luck - someone has to win.

Since we are talking about how brilliant we are and bragging about our stocks, take a look at how my top three stocks have done in the past year.

PLTR up +519%
AXON up +172%
GEV up +314%

I do admit that I have turned my portfolio over to a professional broker so these stocks were her picks for me, not mine.
