In other news, I just missed out on a great property opportunity, because I'm pretty sure I got scooped by a crooked realtor....
Anybody making money on investing in metals in any way?
If you thought the thread was about the Dow, why all your talk about RE and metals?
If you thought you had something worthwhile to say, why all your hiding behind other people's handles?
POS POTO: look up the definition of "metric"
Your trolling sucks.
Anybody else investing in Athletic companies, like Nike and Adidas?
Sagarin, I know 2 other people like you, out and waiting to play a correction, while playing in metals (all metals). The 2 I know are only about even for the year, but have been very active. One of them claims to have done well on a copper play, compensating for the loss he took on gold.

Once is enough, Maserati. Look up "redundant".

Here you go:
metric[ me-trik ]
adjective
1. pertaining to the meter or to the metric system.
2. pertaining to distance: metric geometry.
3. metrical
Not sure why you couldn't do that yourself.

The Dow got to within inches of my last Tuesday prediction of 17.
Now it still hasn't gotten there per my follow up prediction.
SpanishLinguistics: Re NKE and ADDYY. Both stocks are down YTD, -4.95% and -18.04% respectively.($SPX up 4.84%); meanwhile Under Armour (UA) is up 36% YTD. UA has been the major play in this segment for some time now; doubling it's price the past year and a true 10 bagger from 5 years ago. There have been two 2:1 splits within the last 2 years. UA was hit in the March sell-off losing about 25% from 3/18/14 high, but has since recovered. Things to consider: UA is expensive, P/E 77.85 while ADDYY 23.94 and NKE 25.55, P/S 4.98; ADDYY 1.15 and NKE 2.42. Average EPS estimate for current quarter has been trending down (UA covered by over 30 analysts). A quick look at Intrinsic Stock Value shows 64, current price is ca. 59 . Here is a brief discussion of NKE and UA I saw on Bloomberg a few weeks ago http://www.bloomberg.com/video/nike-vs-under-armour-sports-apparel-brand-battle-s8YaUToLQCyKd8QplqXezw.html . Do your own Due Diligence. I have no direct exposure to any of these stocks, but all 3 are components of index funds we own.
all time high today for US small caps - interesting because they have been lagging all year.
in the great agip tradition, I have been selling small caps on valuation...only to see them surge this month.But small stocks are still underperforming vs big caps this year.
usually it is bullish when small caps break out - shows a strong underlying economy.

For the record, those posts were made by the troll "Pointing Out the Obvious" and not by me. I have not posted on this thread for some time. You may recall that I abandoned that troll name in favor of the registered one I use here after the troll first surfaced using my former name.

Agip, Re: all time high today for US small caps. I believe you meant Midcaps, specifically the S&P 400.

no, I meant small caps. you probably are looking at the russell 2000 or Sp 600 as proxies for small cap - yer right, neither of those is at new highs.
I just use the vanguard index funds as a proxy - VB set a new high today
but not all small cap indices show new highs, no.
In response to agip Re VB:
"Will the Real Small Cap Index Please Stand Up" ( or "You Can't Tell a Book By Looking at the Cover")
One day a vegetarian is in a book store browsing vegetarian cook books. In the first book he looks at, he notices some of the recipes call for some meat stock or bouillon. Turns out it isn't exclusively vegetarian, 3.2% of the recipes use a meat ingredient. The next book, he discovers 9.9% of the recipes involve meat as well. Finally, in the last book he is shocked to discover 41.4% of the recipes call for meat products. The first book is actually SLY (SPDR S&P 600 Small Cap ETF); the second book is IWM (iShares Russell 2000); and the third book is VB; the per cent of meat is actually the per cent of mid cap stocks in the index each etf tracks. You can get portfolio information on Morningstar
http://portfolios.morningstar.com/fund/summary?t=VB
®ion=usa&culture=en-US&ownerCountry=USA While the names of etfs SLY and IWM let you know which small cap index they track, VB is not so obvious. VB now tracks the CRSP index but up to 2 years ago it employed the MSCI index. Bogleheads shows the indexes various etfs use:
http://www.bogleheads.org/wiki/US_small_cap_index_returns
and their returns. As you can see there is often a large disparity in yearly returns for indexes purporting to track the same universe of stocks. It seems everyone's definition of small is not the same. The Russell 2000 is made up of stocks 1001-3000 by cap; MSCI is 751-2500 and CRSP is 646-2359. When you look at the yearly returns on Bogleheads, the dispersion for 2009 is quite striking ( 16.36% ). The Russell and S&P were up 27.17% and 25.57% while CRSP and MSCI were up 40.11% and 36.15%; close to the mid cap blend index average return of 39.81% for 2009. This is to be expected given the mid cap exposure of the latter two indexes. So if you're a vegetarian who likes to sneak some chicken or beef stock into your recipes to make the your results heartier, than I agree, buy the third book (VB). Just don't try to convince me and others you are a pure vegetarian ( VB is a pure small cap index ).
