On CNBC World. OK, good for you for watching. Too bad you ignore the message. But that makes a market. Reality is a Bullish slant sells financial news advertsing. And that message is decidingly slanted that direction every day. If you are discriminating at all, you can see the standard analyst all say pretty much the same thing. At least Francisco Fasanara has something different and interesting to say.

Except it’s not just CNBC. It’s Financial Times, Sky News, WSJ, etc.. There’s plenty of Bearish sentiment on the media. I’m not saying it’s the dominant sentiment, but these outlets do a good job of presenting both sides.

Did you think that people wouldn’t fact check your statement which is so obviously biased (and incorrect). C’mon man.

OK, if that makes you happy. Good luck.

Big Short, State of Emergency, President a Russian Agent, Permanent Shutdown! Nothing to worry about?

And buying your shares when profits are surging should be a good idea, right? Isn't that how this works?

In my opinion, profits should be used towards material things that make the company better instead of buying back shares.

Who else has cash, now that Vlad the Impaler is bending us over?

At the worst point in the bear market in March 2009, most analysts were predicting more trauma. But the stock market soared over 350 percent between then and the end of 2018, and investors who had about 60 percent in stocks and 40 percent in bonds recovered from the 2008-09 losses in about three years after the scariest point in the bear market.

Citibank missed on revenue and warned of a choppy year ahead. Earnings call should be interesting.

Not exactly. ?‍♂️

The most obnoxious part of those commercials is the bearded psychiatrist-like character. He drills down to your true emotions. It is really that easy, especially if you can devine the meaning of the charts.

Just put a deposit down on a place North of Austin. Following the grandchildren, seems to be the same story for everyone our age down here that we've met. First 36 years, NJ; next 32+, NY; and now TX. A Happy and healthy New Year to you and all the other posters.

muy loca,

Round Rock or Georgetown? Pretty country. You will love the blue bonnets, Blue Bell ice cream and of course Shiner Boch.

True perhaps. I left in 1996 so I assume much has changed. I have bought some Shiner Boch since in Idaho and it still tastes good to me. Heck I liked Lone Star, the “national Beer of Texas.”

Opps, another crack in the rising EPS narrative:

JP Morgan with a huge miss. First time in 15 quarters they missed. Let's see if they can buy back their own stock fast enough to keep it green today

4/5 rDev +25.4%

look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 4

Shiner Bock brewed by Spoetzl Brewery / Shiner, with an ABV of 4.40% This German Bock pours out of a 12oz glass bottle into a pint beer. The color is a nice light brown color , almost a golden copper like color, with a small white head. The head to this brew goes away fast. There is also some nice spotty lacing to this brew, it sticks to the side of the glass well. The lacing reminds me a soapy bubbles. The smell of this Bock is sweet with lots of grains and malts. A nice amount of mirror hop bitterness in the smell as well. So far this is a nice inviting brew. Now for the taste, it is Bold with flavors. You first pick up a slight roasted sweetness, mixed with grains an malts. The body of the Shiner Bock is a light medium, this is a very easy drinking brew. This brew would go nice with an occasion, lunch, dinner, party. The mouth feel of Shiner Bock is Bold, Rich, Sweet, Smooth, Clean, and Refreshing. Overall I am going to this German Bock a Soild 4 out of 5. I would definitely look this brew up again giving the opportunity to. Spoetzl Brewery / Shiner, did a super nice job with with this Bock brew.

You must be pretty shallow if an actor in a commercial has that kind of effect on you.
