Quote HistoryQuoted: $1000 == "heavily invested."  I guess reading comprehension is for losers. I said heavily invested (that $1000 of play money) in oil companies. Not heavily invested in general. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: What sort of impact do you expect the Green New Deal to have on oil companies? Note I said oil companies, not oil commodities. Don't even bother with the Green New Deal. What you SHOULD be considering for future returns is the Soylent Green New Deal. https://www.businessinsider.com/washington-state-human-compost-bodies-into-soil-2019-5 |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I think oil has potential. Democrats cracking down on oil always drives up the prices, and now is a pretty good time to buy. Another one I’m looking at is certain coal companies. Some super wealthy democrats bought up ARCH and other companies after Obama tanked them. If they are serious about pushing electric vehicles dollar isn’t going to touch that demand. Only oil coal and nuclear can right now, and I don’t see any new nukes in process. I have no doubt oil commodities have potential. I believe oil prices will skyrocket under the Green New Deal once it is implemented; and I believe it will be implemented. But part of that deal will be increased regulations and taxes on oil companies. How is this going to help their stock value? |

Oil stocks will finally begin to rise again but growth is much better and more reliable with just about any blue chip tech stock. My TSM buy from March of last year has absolutely blown any petro stocks out of the water, and that's not even a risky tech company.
Don't let you're ideology determine your investment decisions; no one has to agree with it but the economy was collapsed by the government and all of the growth and reinvestment has been eaten up by tech. Much of the old economy is practically stagnant. |

A relative came in last night with half a gallon of milk and a dozen eggs. This is very unusual. He said do you need anything else?
Apparently the country was going to shut down at 8pm. Banks and stores closed and no internet or news for 2 weeks. He decided about 9pm it had been rescheduled to 8pm this morning. Must have been a full 24 hour delay. Sneaky Democrats. Make sure you have eggs OP. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: This just showed you have absolutely NO IDEA what you are talking about. What do you think your mutual funds are invested in? THE STOCK MARKET. And $1000?! LOL. Do NOT give investment advice ever. Bragging about a 10% return in last years market? Another indicator of your immeasurable financial ignorance. WHY WOULD YOU GIVE INVESTMENT ADVICE? You have zero experience or knowledge on the subject. Why on earth would you think you are qualified at all? JFC.... But these are the types of threads that make GD fun. I also liked the thread where people discussed that they didn't know mercury is the planet closest to the sun. It started out as a dig about people's spouses but it backfired. Funny. Embarrassing too. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Are you not putting it into somthing else? Not going to invest in anything else at the current market "high". I'll wait until it drops then buy in on the cheap. Good thing you know when that is because nobody on Wallstreet seems to have the market clocked like you do. Every DJIA value between 0 and 30,000 was an all time high at some point. "All time high" means nothing in terms of providing useful forward looking insight. |

I agree with you OP. I sold several of my single stocks a month ago and am not looking back.
I have some apple stock and royal carribean that I'm holding onto for now but looking for an "out". I have mutual funds that I'm currently investing in long term and don't plan to sell that. The single stocks are just for fun. I'm not going to risk it staying in with that money because I do believe the political climate and economy is volatile at the moment and that the government is off its rockers stupid. We could be wrong about the next coming weeks or months but as they say you can't time the market and the market is back at the all time high territory so its all good. I'm not greedy. |

Hhmmm, my personal shit was up 58% + for 2020. Kind of wish I was in the State of FL investment plan rather than DROP and the defined monthly pension which accrues a measly 4% per year in interest & cola.
Still, it's going to buy a 4x4 side by side and trailer and pay off my truck. |
