Not me. I've used it to significantly add to my positions of Netflix and Amazon in particular.

Amazon, OK sure.

Netflix is being pumped like a penny stock right now for an epic post earnings dump. It'll probably pull and NVDA and get cut in half in less than a week.

Even with a couple of current purchases, i'm up 85% on Netflix so staying long, baby!

Amazon has been the one i'm buying much more aggressively lately.

As for NVDA, my son told me to check that out recently. Now, that's scary, so it must be really being hyped.

Financials led the market today - up a couple percent.

Can you imagine if that continues? If the big banks start charging up the charts, leading the market? That would suggest the yield curve will steepen, the dollar will stay low, the Fed is done, loan growth will be fine, etc.

That would be a a very strong buy signal - I mean those things have been left for dead but are so important.

It's just one day so it's just noise, but that could be the sort of unexpected event that would give the market back its mojo.

Oh, you gave it to him pretty good recently.

Perhaps it’s actually you confusing one poster with another. Where’s that irony guy?

I'm not sure about Detector Dude, but I'm not claiming you're K-5.

You're the one that said (recently), equity purchases since 2011 will not pan out well.

You said: “You form an illusion of what other investors are doing as a means of soothing the wounds on your own shortcomings of mis-timing the market since 2011.”

But you have always mischaracterized what I have said.

Enjoy your FB and TNA purchased at record high prices.

Curious, where were you on NFLX at the end of the day 12/24/2018?

You are such a loser.

Hey the other guy has been beating K-5’s meat since 2013. Talk to him, he is the circle jerk master.

Jack Bogle, RIP

This article was originally published in Barron’s on Dec. 28, 2018. Sage advice from a great one:

“In case you’re thinking that it’s safe to dive back into the stock market, think again. Jack Bogle, the father of the index fund, is advocating caution. Over the past several years, index fund investors have reliably bought the dips in the stock market, expanding the valuations on growth stocks and helping push the S&P 500 higher. But that probably no longer is a savvy approach, says the founder of the Vanguard Group.

In a recent interview with Barron’s, Bogle warned that “trees don’t grow to the sky, and I see clouds on the horizon. I don’t know if and when they’ll arrive. A little extra caution should be the watchword.” Those clouds, he said, include large amounts of sovereign and corporate debt, the “great upheaval” in global trade, and “the mystery of Brexit, which will be very disruptive to the world trade system. Those things add up.”

about 34% lower than where I am now, (since i've only added to the position a little bit in the last few days and it's up 34% since then).

OK, good job Seattle.
