That’s three different handles on that page for you, Igy. And you complain about me?
You wish, nut job.Everyone hates you. What is in it for your demented brain?

All I'm concerned with is doing well on my investments. Bought Amazon and Apple 2 months ago when they were at their near peak and have lost roughly 10% of my portfolio since.
Had the urge to sell and minimize my losses but I'm not going to. I hope in spite of the virus and election uncertainty, these tech stocks will continue to thrive.
September and October have not been terribly inspiring. Just a decline followed by some minimal gains that do not bring me back to my initial priniciple.

You are not everyone. Your narcissism is showing again.
thanks for adding but the charts are a bit too much for me to get my head around at the moment.
I've decided I'm unlikely to sell my stocks unless I'm in an emergency situation and need the funds.
So I'm going to just watch them, win or lose.
The American stock market with a weak Apple stock would be ah a serious problem.
It's around 20% of tech funds and 7% of SP500 indexes.
I have most of my tech money in RYT, which is an equal weighted index. To avoid the massive influence of Apple (and other giants). That's cost me money so far but maybe that will start reversing.
Apple stock is down 20% from its highs. That's a moderately big number. I'm just not sure what the bull case is for apple at this point.

Q3 GDP increased enough to basically cancel out the Q2 drop.
I'll say it one more time in case anyone has forgotten - this recession is for poor people only, and they don't own stocks. Buy the dip now or get left behind forever.

it's true that most Americans are comfortable and have saved a ton of money because of missed vacations, not dining out etc. Maybe they'll buy phones.
Earnings Scorecard: For Q3 2020 (with 64% of the companies in the S&P 500 reporting actual results), 86% of S&P 500 companies have reported a positive EPS surprise and 81% have reported a positive revenue surprise. If 86% is the final percentage, it will mark the highest percentage of S&P 500 companies reporting a positive EPS surprise since FactSet began tracking this metric in 2008.

What’s your evaluation of XLE vs VDE? I bought a little VDE this week.
Thanks!

Problem is that the new phones are kinda lame.
People are def gonna treat themselves to something new though. Iphone or IPad. Plus the iphone 12 mini fills a gap that hasn't been filled in a few years.

Slightly different composition in holdings, and weightings. Similar performance.

Sure, I buy back the tech shorts I sold over the last week as soon as you go in. Thanks for the tip.
A new feature, gents. Which I will continue until I don't want to anymore.
From time to time, at least once a month, an index update on the sectors we've been discussing.
Much of this is for me to check in on my China longs, which I expect to be very volatile. And Racket and I have a gentlemen's bet on China vs USA, not due for a year. I'm starting to think that Covid+Trump+Brexit may signal a time to move to Asia in large size.
Igy recently suggested buying some beaten up energy stocks.
I can add more indices if requested.
US (VTI):
1m: -2%
3m: +2
12m: +10
China (CXSE):
1m: +6
3m: +12
12m: +44
Energy (XLE):
1m: -4
3m: -19
12m: -46
Tech (VGT):
1m: -3
3m: +3
12m: +38
So tech and China are doing well and energy isn't.
Always interesting to me whether to buy when things are down...or when things are up. No clear answer which is better.
bloody heck.
first mistake is that the "VGT" returns are actually QQQ results.
Same idea though.
Expect many more errors, until 1/19/2021 and I can relax.
