Investing is not speculation, you have to know the true situation. Know what to buy, when to buy and if there is any sellers. Conversely you have to know when to sell and if there are still buyers. If you wait too long into the run the prices may have gone so high that the buyers have stopped buying.

Just to show I'm not full of it, here's snapshot of my mining stocks. Portfolio is up 12.51 % since July Cameco is the only disappointment

Mines and Gold is hot at this time. I predict a blip on all your stocks early in the week, possible continued rise mid and late week. Run may be over to AGI

AGI 28.15
CCO 103.61
CVE 22.68
DML 2.88
SCZ 1.59

Ttrump continues to blatantly manipulate the crypto and stock markets. It's unreal how he is getting away with this.

I do not do crypto, if Trump gets busted or goes nutso, his Trump coins will go down the toilet, that might take the whole crypto maket with it.

I was seriously considering buying some Intel at around $20, it seems to be the support floor for the stock but Intel is a total dog of a company right now. Every time there is an Intel rumor, the stock pops pretty well, but then it eventually crashes back down to $20.

Intel $25.03 U.S. may continue to rise short term.

Buffet is bad at market timing, he is always right but always early. If Buffett can not time the market, there is little hope for the rest of us. I think you should get into a defensive position sooner than later. I know it is hard to take that advice, that advice is not from me, it is from Buffet so it carries significant weight.

The house of Buffet is like any investment firm they do as other places do to make a profit. Buffett is projecting a slow, cautious and sure image to get the confidence of the public. Buffett is to Berkshire as Colonel Sanders is to KFC.

Holy shit we're in good times.

I moved my Investments to WS - which suck for performance measuring - but I looked at my Mom's investments that I manage and the one year returns range from 27% to 31% (TSX at 21%) and the 5 year range from 15.6% to 18.1% (TSX at 14.4%).

...and I just want to point out that according to the latest SPIVA report for 5 year returns, I am an investing GOD!. Top 10% baby!. Not THE God but more like a demi-God, maybe a Hercules, or a Orion, or a Perseus (who according to Wiki; son of Zeus and mortal princess Danae, whom he impregnated as a golden shower...appropriate for this site maybe).

I am up 32% YTD as of today . It has been great ride.I expect another 10-15% up side once interest rate is cut in US.
