Ghost - All or your investments are terrible. Besides CDs you are advocating this: HSGFX outperforming TNA on a YTD basis by +4%, boy that escalated quickly."

It had negative returns in 2010, 2011, 20012, 2013, 20014, 2015, 2016, and 2017. Year-to-date is has a negative return. It has a modest return in 2018 but that is the only non-negative return in a decade. Are you seriously advocating this piece of junk?

OK, I already told you I plan to regurgitate your posts in the future.

Another question, are you retired or a college student? You post all day long.

Please tell me why you would ever go with HSGFX? It has a 1.13% fee. Do you not know that index funds beat actively managed funds 70 to 80 per cent of the time? Why would you go with this stinker?

Here is what I said on 10/10/2018:

“TNA is likely on the cusp of a multi-year decline and HSGFX on a multi-year upswing. It is all a question of “is this the end of the beginning, or the beginning of the end.” Either way it will not matter because most will lose money from here on TNA and make money on HSGFX. My opinion of course.”

Guess what? I am still correct.

He already answered your question, troll. Igy does not own any HSGFX. He just wants you to own it. You’ll thank him later.

No, it is you that advocates not me Detector Dude. Remember you said “it is different this time.” Short memory or psychosis returning?

How can it be on a multiple year upswing? Did you not see that it had negative returns in 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017?

You can’t really be that stupid Sally? Probably giving you too much credit.

So anyone else buying the dip on Boeing?

I bought in October. Up 8%.

Okay, so i bought just a couple of days before the bad news. I never buy stocks like that, so definitely an outlier for me, and one i regret.

That said, i did sell some of it at the low point of the day but bought it back as it started to rebound. I'll wait it out from here.

I would think that buying the dip would be a good idea as long as you were willing to wait it out.

I had some Southwest Airlines I sold yesterday just to keep from going into the red on it.

You bought high and sold low?

I think i explained it fairly well. I bought high. Then i sold some of it at a lower price but quickly bought it back as i saw it was rebounding (going back up). So i effectively have everything from the original purchase and am riding it out from here.

You have a better idea?

Yes. Buy and hold would have saved you some money and you would have avoided a wash sale.

Yeah, definitely should have held because wash sale comes into effect now. LUV is a good play on this too if BA is too pricey. Boeing has a lot of lobbying power and execs in the right place. This whole thing is going to get swept under the rug in no time and it'll be $400+ in no time

I suspect you are right. The wash sale is no big deal to me since it you still reap the tax benefits of the loss but just at a later date, not like it's lost forever.

In terms of the sell and buying back, i lost not enough to think twice about. I don't mind making small mistakes if it helps me avoid making big ones.

Nice day for Apple. Funny how sentiment for that one has turned around.

I said Apple. Can't you tell me how they aren't as innovative as they used to be?

No, just saw these jobs at AMZN reviews. Wide range of reviews, some not so complimentary. Thought it was interesting.
