Talking stocks, trading, and investing in general

I'll settle for a 2009 style recovery.

Lol, who wouldn't?

2015: the year AAPL stock was broken

I'd argue it was 2011 - but that joke has run it's course.

Is there green on the board, or am I simply delirious?

 

[GreenFrog]

you jinxed it!

 

[Piobaire]

Don't know about you guys but I've had most of my gains for the year chewed up and spit out. Ever since Obama declared he "saved the economy" in July it's been hard out here for a pimp.

 

[SkinnyGoomba]

Pretty much about the same here. I've had some great wins in M&A type stuff, but overall mostly flat or down on anything that hasnt seen an acquisition or merger.

The big ones for me have been RAI/LO and KRFT becoming KHC.

I'm on the wrong end of RDS and BG, but should be nice longer term.

Yet to see anything from Dow/Dupont

PFE bought something but the gain was short lived

GE divested a division this year and that was good.

I've yet to calculate how it all shakes out....but not expecting anything really exciting in the results.

 

[Piobaire]

Yeah, I've not tried to figure out how much blood was lost these last few months but I'm figuring about flat for the year.

can't believe I was holding a few hundred shares of SCTY at 30/31 cost and sold 'em at 33/34

Dat CMG just can't catch a break

What was the catalyst that pushed that up? I haven't been following.

 

[Master-Classter]

I think it was something about legislature to extend subsidies maybe?

Hell, it went from hovering around 30 to jumping to 33, 37, 40, now up to low 50's range. Took a small hit today though.

 

[GreenFrog]

Federal tax credit for solar extended + the Paris climate change treaty

 

[Master-Classter]

couple of my guys did well today... CNX, CHK, AA, etc. Did some trimming to take small profits off the table.

 

[GreenFrog]

S&P will end up 10% for 2015 amirite guys? Just needs to go up 2.5% four days in a row

Is there a solid thread on startups? Not a small business.
