TSLA
I try to stay away from stocks that I need a firm stop loss ...
That limits though trading opportunities

Fitbit is also attractive as you pointed out... shoooooort term though

shoooooort term though
Very small ( this thing can fall to below 5) with one bad report...
Before getting in bigger, need to see a stable area ... even though that might take some time, it prevents falling knife thesis ...
TWTR at 14
GPRO at 9-11
ATEN at 4-6
Takes time and a lot discipline ... but it does prevent from wasting capital.
Obvious long term investment thesis is much different than this above

I'm starring at all the charts and totally undecided between TLSA, FIT, and GPRO at the moment. Hmmmmmm
Market is flirting with historic highs today
Do you think Bonds will continue to rally? Or long term down trend still intakt?

2015 we had a more aggressive sell off in bonds that what we had in 2016
This last move is headline and event driven, that is a big deviation from trend move
As always I stick to my 10 year channel 1.60% - 3.04%
European crisis takes us below 1.60%
Spain 2012
Brexit 2016

OK, bought a position of FIT at $9... Will watch this one closely.
I've been looking to invest into a IoT company and FIT is one the fore-front. We'll see...

I would not buy any of the stocks mentioned in this thread so far. It's almost all based on short term speculation. That and what the fuck does Go Pro or FitBit make that someone else can't rip off and sell for less?

A valid point here, a lot these stocks needed to be purchased earlier in the year and I am very sure none bought MASI which hit a all time high at the close
Oh well, back to trashing America

That's a good one went up 30%, nice. No dividend but who cares.
They have given special D before, with the lawsuit against Phillips all done none they have some cash to work with and new deals.
I admit, this has done a lot better that I could have ever imagined and many years of not doing much, oddly enough because of that accumulation happened
Kind of torn on the next selling point here, but a good problem to have
HP was the real dollar oil call but 100% out of that

There is nothing they make that won't eventually show up on the iPhone. Just buy Apple stock.

Gold
You can trade gold as long as you have a stop loss under 1040
Now Bonds have a lot more value now than a few months ago for sure..
At a 2.57% print today
Tomorrow is key, no reversal
The lower lows and lower highs on the 10 year are gone, that officially ended today with a close over 2.50%

At least they got the Trump part right.
HMI and NFIB data lines are our first raw look on what business thinks here...
Can't wait for 2017, going to be lots of fun
I am speaking at the CAR conference just on this subject Trump and the U.S. economy

Did you ever get a video of the conference in Texas?

Did you ever get a video of the conference in Texas?
Not yet and I need to write that article too about the future of home prices in America, there were many panels on that conference and if a member of the panel doesn't want their take to be public they don't allow a video to be created for the public. I believe our panel was ok for that but they said it would take time
I was a big hit and the first person invited to the conference next year in Texas.
If I don't get the video soon I will have to write the article report without it, I have all the charts that the panel members were using

True, Apple is the only stock mentioned so far that I would even consider, and if you own mutual funds, you probably own it indirectly anyway. At least it pays a not so horrible dividend.
I'm not sarcastic at all. I believe interest rates will resume their decline - bonds will go up. And I believe we will have recession within 2 years - gold will go up.

If MASI goes up another $8.56 ($67 today) before the year, that $37.84 purchase would be another double for the year

Millennials went crazy on 3x levered gold ETFs after Trump won. They got totally destroyed. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-12-19/millennials-piled-into-some-horrendous-etf-trades-right-after-the-election …
Just keep a solid stop loss on gold at 1040 and trade it and don't do what the kids did above

Lol. Millennials went crazy on 3x levered gold ETFs after Trump won. They got totally destroyed.
Nothing like a good spanking to straighten them out.

What is your prediction for MASI for 2017?

Hi guys,
I'm looking over my portfolio this week (both 401K retirement and personal brokerage account) and looking ahead at what to invest in during 2016.
I see that the market correction that we had in late Jan - early Feb '16 is behind us and once again the Dow, Nasdaq, and the S&P500 are near historical high levels. As a result, I'm going to pull some of the money I have here and continue to watch the fed.
I see precious metals (gold, silver, platinum) have been surging since Feb but still significantly below their 1yr and 2yr highs. Depending on where you believe oil is going, some are arguing it's a bargain right now too but oil isn't likely to do much in the short term. Long term treasury bonds had a strong year. Healthcare & Financial sectors haven't performed too well in the past year but Utilities & Telecom sectors have brought modest returns.
I'm interested in getting into a discussion regarding patrick.net's hot picks are for 2016 and where are people are putting their money in terms of market investment today.
Now that Bay Area home prices have surpassed a level that's attractive to most investors, some of us are looking at other investment options.
