I'm guessing the ranking is negatively affected by Not Available data too.

What with the rather noticeable decline of tech stock today?
Reallocation of funds again?
CD Projekt was around 38 when I typed this, it's now over 50. Urgh.
Then again, well fargo give me 22% gain in 2 months, can't complain.

I already sold tho. Good luck to you
Now I can look at other shares like Well Fargo, Disney or CD Projekt Red.

Or oil keeping up the other indexes. Big jumps there because of OPEC.
And damn my consumer goods are hurting also. I should stop looking and just see how it is end of the year.

Red day in Europe again. Bad week here. If it drops about 2-3% lower I'll hit some buy targets at least and grab some more high dividend stocks to add to my portfolio.

me theory about the markets is that we're not in a trump rally but in a goodbye obama rally.
i think we're gonna see a lot of red in a few weeks to introduce trump as wall street is not on his side.

My theory is Trump will do anything to get praised by rich people, wall street and co, and it will screw the US economy like Bush and co. did. They'll put more pressure on the middle class, enrich the rich further, and it will do the usual self-inflicted economic contraction. Add some inflation to it.

Last year the S&P500 dropped more than 10 percent between 4 December and 12 February (2016).
I wonder if this year will bring some kind of santa claus rally. I guess a lot will depend on the Fed's incoming rate decision and how much the US market cares about the results of the Italian referendum (I've a feeling they will vote "no").

They will vote no but I expect that to be a dud and not do much beyond initial panic. I don't think a yes is expected.
edit: Tax question for you guys. I own shares in a US dollar account. When I will sell them, I'll make X, let's say $1000US. Then I convert that to CAD, and it becomes $1250 with today's exchange. The actual capital gain is relative to what the CAD was worth when I originally converted the money to USD right? So if the CAD was 1-1 with the USD, it's a $250 capital gain. But if the rate was different, how the heck do I know what the CAD's exchange rate was if I made multiple different conversions over time? I might have exchanged money from CAD to USD at various rates to buy those shares, what rate am I supposed to take into account in all this?

European stocks are actually soaring after the Italian "no". You've got to love the unpredictability of the stock market.

Well that vote was predictable.
I like this quote I read on Bloomberg:
"It took three days for the markets to absorb Brexit, three hours for Trump, three minutes for Italy's referendum."

Well let's keep hoping the markets keep not caring during 8 years of Trump.
It may take until next quarters earnings season. If the dollar stays this strong, a lot of companies earnings are going to be hurt. Anyone that sells lots of stuff internationally.
Thing is what there's a perceived crashing sentiment, it will be a harder landing than before.
For now, let's ride the wave.

Nice day in Europe. Just not for consumer goods it seems, which is my biggest stake at the moment. At least Daimler recovered again and is almost in the green. See if it can go back to 80 in the next months and make a nice profit for me.

My Renault is recovering too, would be nice to see them in the green sometime soonish.
Speaking of Euroland, my Monsanto has been clawing it's way back too. Hopefully we hear more concrete news about that Bayer acquisition at some point.

Buy puts on bull ETFs and certain stocks. Gold and miners might do very well then so I'd get into that. There will always be time to exit, just have to recognize the warning signs.

That's a very tough thing to predict. Personally, I don't invest long term in companies not returning dividends, but that is just me.
In any case, I would say to try and built a diversified portfolio. Never just pick one stock, because you'd just be gambling.

Bond market going to suffer when interest rates rises?
I've been working at Franklin Templeton investments for two months now, and the monthly dividend payout on some of the accounts are insane, lol.
Thankfully as an employee I can purchase funds at with no sales charge. The question is what funds to invest in with very little money I have. I would let the dividends reinvest, too.
I mean I have access to fund info, but some of it goes beyond my head.

Yes, but it's not impossible. I believe congress has until the end of January to get something in. My accountant told me something to that effect last year when I was asking him how soon I could file.
You are too late. 30 year bond future has gone from 177 over the summer to 149 today. Could definitely go further, but that's a big move that's already been made.

Expecting a drop down again? Five days in a row up now is a bit much... Debating to sell or not with a small profit of a few hundred euro on Bayer and Daimler. Got Daimler for ages now and it is finally in the green again...
I'm more relaxed when my positions are in the red, because then I just wait and am not afraid to sell at the wrong time.
Large Professor

Well expecting is probably the wrong word, it's more hoping for a small drop. Fed meetings are usually good for some extra volatility, so we'll see.
I don't know the specifics about the two German stocks you mentioned, but if they pay a nice (and sustainable) dividend you shouldn't be in a rush to sell.

AMZN is a solid growth stock. In 2016 I'm seeing it has gained 14%, versus the S&P 500 at 8%. I am long in AMZN myself but it only represents about 3% of my entire portfolio.

I don't like how much the Canadian dollar is rising, I hope it tanks again, my investments are in USD and most of it had been converted when the dollar was at parity. Oil rally won't last anyway, and there is likely trouble ahead for the economy anyway.

So, this is interesting. Bid on a newspaper stock I own of +50% above the current trading price. Trading has been halted until the companies come with a statement. I don't own that much of it, but it would be paying the bills for the month.
Anyone know how these things go? Does a stock tend to jump up towards the takeover price after opening again?
Edit: Trading resumed. And sold.

All this panic and talk for month after month about some .25% rate increases still seem so crazy to me. Didn't those rates used to be 5%+ a few years back? Time it got to a normal level. Although I get there is more stuff involved of course.

Well yeah, but it was ~8 years of 0% interest rates which has never happened before besides The Great Depression (which didn't have 0 for long). All that time money has been funneled into stocks since bonds/CDs/savings accounts don't yield shit. Whole situation is unprecedented.
Looks like TSLA might be in a short squeeze. Also CSIQ is ridiculous, soley because its a chinese solar company it has a 5 PE, .22 PEG ratio, 140mil profits, growing revenue....just lol.
