Not too sure I agree. I have been very happy with the SC Municipal bonds I bought seven or eight years ago. They have been paying 5% since then, and the fact that the income is tax free it is like a 7.2% (almost guaranteed) investment. I sleep well at night not having to worry about how the stock market is doing.
Follow labor union contracts. During contract years company stock falls a ton out of fear of strike. Normally it jumps back high after. I plan on buying into YRC and ArcBest in late 2017 when rumors of strikes come out.
Couple of ideas, but keep in mind that almost everything is at all time highs: IYY. (An ETF that includes the 30 DJIA stocks). My personal favorite is UTMD (a medical device manufacturer that will benefit from ACA tax on devices repeal). Bank of America should come around in the future so go for it if you can wait for a few years for better upside. These are my thoughts as an investor. I am not a financial services employee.
There is a reason you will never hear a broker or investment advisor tell you that stuff about bonds- You have it all completely backwards!! Bond values tank when interest rates rise. Suddenly, the bond you are invested in is worth less to other investors- because they can get a new one at a higher rate of return, so the one you own becomes illiquid (or can only be sold at a huge discount). Corporations issuing the bonds would not call a bond that is locked at a lower rate (their interest rate on the loan is lower) and pay off that debt with a new bond that costs them more!
3x ETFs based on commodity futures (i.e UWTI) whose underlying asset is in contango will decay over time.
My best advice is to simply select a company that you yourself like as a customer. If you like that company, chances are others like them as well. For example, Hilton Hotels. I love to stay at Hilton properties (mostly Hampton Inn) so I bought the stock. That's also why I bought Wendy's stock.
Correct, which is why I pointed out high risk and share decay in my original post. This would be a timing trade, only beneficial for knowledgeable investors, with tight stops, for only a short horizon, with deferred tax implications, while waiting for short term positive asset class turmoil to shake out as Fed Rate Hike/Trump Rally/Santa Rally plays out into mid January, to then invest in more stable, longer horizon asset classes.
this stuff is more like gambling than investing
If they're looking for a more stable, medium to long term trend, sector trading unleveraged consumer discretionary and durable goods are worth a look.
Watch how much Trump is going to stick to his campaign promises.
You commented on one of my post a few weeks ago about how I should quit my job and give everyone my opinion. With the audience you have, your comment has the equivalent value of a dissertation at PTA meeting.
total garbage
Why would you post crap like this?
