stock market was up today...

“The company said that the decrease was mostly expected, as sales growth on Jet.com, which it acquired in 2016, slowed. But not having enough inventory to meet some shopper demand during the holiday season also contributed to the dip.”

Sales were down because they couldn’t keep up with demand. Only idiots would sell on news like that.

Why America Is Going Broke - WSJ

Spending cuts. BIG spending cuts....and it has to come from entitlements. There was a graph in the hard copy article that showed how defense and other spending had remained largely flat over the specified time period. Entitlements have grown so unabated there is no choice to be made. It has been made for us.

We need to cut defense spending, also. No sacred cows. Bring the troops home from these foreign escapades.

This doggy Dow stock can teach you smart value investing tricks - MarketWatch

GE is another reminder that it is incredibly dangerous to own a stock just because you like the dividend. Consistency of recurrence of dividend payments creates an optical illusion that the dividend will always will be there. Just think about it: GE’s dividend of 96 cents was half of what the company was expected to earn and it still couldn’t afford to pay it.

Welch is on the opposite end of the spectrum from Jeff Bezos, CEO of Amazon. Bezos doesn’t even know how to spell quarterly earnings. Amazon’s founder once explained that Amazon makes decisions years out. So the current quarter’s report reflects decisions Amazon made several years ago.

Wow. Just think if/when they figure out how to "grow" parts of the heart and replace/repair malfunctioning parts with fully, healthy functioning parts again.

Vericel Receives FDA Regenerative Medicine Advanced Therapy (RMAT) Designation for Ixmyelocel-T for the Treatment of Advanced Heart Failure Due to Ischemic Dilated Cardiomyopathy | Vericel Corporation

This company has the potential to be the next ISRG in 10-15 years. I have traded in and out over the last couple of years, but as I near 30k shares, I think I'm going to settle in for the ride.

Yep. I felt like I was late on ISRG, ended up buying into another robotic surgery company that did knee and hip replacements. Can't remember the name or symbol but believe they sold out to Stryker. Made some nice coin on that buy out.

Edit: MAKO was the company.

Very nice. A VCEL buyout in the next couple of years wouldn't surprise me.

I never fool with penny stocks because they're crap, but have been researching SRMX (about to have a ticker change). In the 5g business and rumors with At&t. Just loaded up on this one, could be the next big boom.

Market is taking a hit as the Fed chairman is testifying before the banking committee. Anybody know what he's saying? At work and can't watch.

Well whatever he is saying it took a turn the other direction.

I always dread it when these clowns start talking. You never know which way the sheep are going to run.

Who cares? In the big picture these moves are meaningless. It went up 100, it went down 100. Wake me up in 20 years.

It matters for traders. It matters for those on the sidelines looking for an entry point. It matters for those looking to pull something out of the markets. It matters for those actively managing money.

I don't disagree at all. I do think that some people should have muzzles. Carl Ichan, Warren Buffett and some of the other big players. They can tank a company just by announcing their buys or sales.

He did say big picture. I actively manage my money and I agree with you as well, but that ain't gonna change.
