2025 / 2026 Investment Thread

I'm not sure what you mean. They're real time futures quotes. I'm not talking about the strip of data along the top. Scroll down below that, and there's real-time US futures followed by foreign futures, and then commodities
 
I'm saying those futures predict opening bell and like 30 mins past it and that's it

If you want true future indications, see the global stock market, USA is the last market to open and close

The news about taco going cray on Friday, we saw the other markets react on Monday, the future you saw didn't reflect that, I already knew we had to grab ankles Tuesday 🤣

And that's exactly the type of data I needed. You guys were saying we were going to tank, and I simply provided some data that disagreed.

Yes, Europe was tanking on Monday, but that didn't necessarily mean the US would. On Monday night, US futures were only down by like half a percent. Traders already knew about Europe tanking, and it didn't seem to matter much to them. 🤷‍♂️

Futures are weak if it's a half percent or less. And yea no one really cares about Euro or Asian equity markets that much, their opinions are taken under advisory only. The tail doesn't wag the dog.

Before I understood the political reference, I googled it, and TACO is indeed a legitimate company on NASDAQ. Check it out.

Silver’s run up is nuts. I sold all my physical silver back in 2015 when it was cheap, about 70 pounds worth mostly in the form of 100oz bars. Looks like bad timing however I put the money from it into GOOG so didn’t work out too bad. Wish I had kept one of those bars though.
 
Hah, how many times did I walk past silver in Costco at $30-odd per oz, sagely deciding it was a poor buy in my infinite wisdom. That said, I did buy some down around that price. Feeling good about them. I have a few 10 oz bars that are cool, also bought at a good time. I'm sure it will tank and my gloating will be for nought. Meh, it's all fun.

Metals getting slammed today, it was bound to happen eventually. I still think this year will be inflationary and war-driven (Iran, Cuba), so this might be a good buying opportunity for those still on the sidelines.

Metals investors are psychos. Silver will be back down to 40-50s in no time. Don't be the odd-lot idiot buying at the top tick, that's just embarrassing!
 
I started buying gold in the low 3ks so.... it needs to drop a lot more before im upside down. Regardless for me its a hedge on dollarydos going zimbabwae.

Backdoor IRA's? Hmmm......

What's the story on those? Am I supposed to put like $20k in a traditional IRA...then move it over to a Roth IRA to get passed the max $7,500/year limit?
 
I am sufficiently diversified, and have "play money" in certain accounts. I have $2k on the sidelines in Etrade, have certain ideas what to do with it but am curious what the BARF mindset would do with it. I don't need it and may let it sit, will not be sad if I invest it and lose based on "advice" here. Well? What say you re: this small change?
 
GSBD and let it ride forever....but might want to wait about 3 months and see what happens with share price. The dividend yield is amazing.
 
13.78% dividend yield? Hmm, where have you been all my investing life? :)
 
Yeah, but right now GSBD has volatility. Let it settle IMO.
