Yash, that banker above went down real quick from inside to outside.
I can relate to investors losing their life savings through negligent bank managers.
Whoever that investor was he sure wasn't happy with that banker.

Wasn't an investor if it was from the inside...

US markets

Screwed up many times , but i think we ve reached the markets top this time , especially after what the Bank of international settlements brought out ,and interest rates are bound to go up.
Well options trading is a high risk environment anyway , if you cant stand the heat ( have the $$ ) stay out of the kitchen .
I think were in for a 10 -15 % correction and possibly more later this year .

For you who wonder why i dont post a lot anymore on audio , well its merely more of the same and i like learning new stuff

Was talking to a hedge manager friend yesterday. He told me that most of his peers are ringing their hands in glee....
after all their multi million $$ bonuses tends to make one do that.....:p

Dont get that sorry , english is not my first language ?

Sorry, means that these people are more than excited with the current state of the US stock market. The expected bonuses that they are going to be receiving is still fueling the upwards pressure on the Manhattan real estate market. ( price wise). The hedge fund managers wife's are out shopping in force...condos in the $5M+ range are nothing but chump change. ( for andromedaaudio...easily affordable:D).

My thoughts/play on the S en P. (aint worth much lol ) we. ll hit the 2130 support . area in a month or so , a bounce and then hopefully a bigger one in sept okt. this year

With global warming some say it's a good time for insurance companies.
That iceberg just about to separate from the Antarctica continent should increase shares in insurance institutions.
Bitcoin, wow! Gold...always a rush.

For all of us Apple stock holders there was a huge surge in Apple stock today pushing the Dow past 22,000 for the first time ever

I've had and held this stock for well over 12 years and watched it grow along with a 7:1 split.

Apple could become the first Trillion dollar company.

This is when a exit strategy comes into play

I might put a sell stop in 15% or so below asking price, but w/the new phones coming out and all the AR/AI research spending, I'm still fairly optimistic short and med. term. Yesterday's earnings report was an unusually good quarter ahead of a new phone cycle, particularly one where the news has spread of greater than usual changes to new gen phones.

I am almost embarrassed to say what I bought the stock for but AF Zero most unlikely

The difference between audio and investing is that I think I know something about the former but know that I know sh*t about the latter. Yet I'm comfortable making decisions on the former myself, whereas I pay advisors who may know even less than I do to give me advice about the latter. Go figure.

My take and this is what I recently did.

Buy some no load "index" funds, which I have have transferred into and be done.

The risk is minimized and the compounded returns are quite good due to the very low operational fees.

All I can tell you is that I got out mid-August, thinking that is just not sustainable, nor supported by or reflective of the economic situation, or even the short-term outlook. I have no idea where this is all going and why...
