STPK got slammed today, o well, more for me. 

 

Added NGA like Arigold did as well, they have an amazon contract. 

 

Otherwise, just holding. 

NGA - Electric Lion CEO will be on Mad Money tonight, she's running today because of that. I'll look to exit later in the day and re-enter later in the week.

Oil stocks do better under the Democrats historically.

Historically yes but I thought the push for EV and green etc that the dems campaigned on may have caused a pull back. I'm interested to see how all of this pans out over the next 2 years. It will be interesting to see what their priorities are following stimulus checks

It’s amazing that people have been selling Target, CVS, NextEra, Microsoft, PG etc stocks to get into these garbage high flying stocks with no fundamentals. Just being pumped on StockTwits and RH.

Kelly Loeffler, even though she lost, still got over 2 million votes.  So much for the Ben Shapiro acolytes "facts don't care about your feelings" mantra.

I'm surprised why a stock like Exxon didn't pull back on the news of the Dem win

Oil prices over $50/barrel. First time since February. The Saudi's surprise agreement to cut production isn't exactly hurting the sector.

 

Also rather important, the yield on the US 10yr broke above 1% for the first time since March. Inflation appears to be creeping around. Yesterday's manufacturing "prices paid" data was quite surprising.

CVS price on December 8 was $73

CVS Price on January 6 is $72

 

If you can exit your position (with profits presumably) and go catch a 10, 20, 30, 80, 100, 200% runner elsewhere and come back and get in at the same price again, why not?

 

*Assuming the people doing this are aware of their risks and are just playing a different version of a casino game through the stock market and not "actually" investing

Personally I don’t disagree with bolded sentence.

I left my gambling days behind me years ago, because in the long run house always win.

Bird in a hand is better than two in a bush, has been my approach to investing and has served me way better than the casino style approach that I have done in the past.

Oil is never getting back to juggernaut level like it used to be.

But there is still need for oil in the near future, enough for me to invest in some strong undervalued  companies.

Well, I prefer the casino style with my fun money but you will like my next buy.

 

My wife and myself agreed to pull out some personal money and bought 500 shares of ICLN. I can't casino with it because it's ours and not my personal fun money.

 

iShares S&P Global Clean Energy Index - 5B ETF that seeks to track the investment results of an index composed of global equities in the clean energy sector.

 

With the Dems running the USA it's an easy choice.

Yeah, clean energy is smart buy indeed.
The other day NEE dropped unexpectedly so I loaded the boat.

Its little overpriced but still has plenty of room to run.

How actively managed is it?

 

I looked into ICLN in November around election time but didn't like that PLUG is their highest weighted holding. I like PLUG, just don't know if it's deserving of the top spot.

It's not, it's a passive fund. Love the companies they have involved, especially First Solar

I bought PBW last year in March, it did amazing, with the new political regime, I'm hopeful for more good news!
