CAG finished at 20.40. Dare I buy a bit more next week. They are modernizing their frozen food industry. They recently just sold their Chef Boyardee brand to another company. I know their costs have been increasing and demand has been so so I think I will do a wait-and-see next week. Evidently, so far they are maintaining the dividend, which is a really good rate. Price targets I have looked at have it at 24 bucks and change but of course those are just guesses by whoever.

FAA you should get in the game in your VP off time. Just open a free account and use the funds from one VP session to get started. Like Dinghy, just buy a share at a time if you want to. There is no charge to do things that way either and it is easier to keep your basis lower sometimes. Anyway, good luck if you do jump in.

That depends on position sizing. I like to buy only a few hundred dollars at a time, then add on weakness. But there's nothing wrong with taking a home-run swing and sitting with the position.

I'm happy to be corrected on this, but I view Wall Street analysts as salespeople. Possibly a few of them individually are worth mimicking, although I'm not aware of any. Analysts may be helpful with research, but I ignore their price targets.

Trading can be rewarding, but it's not for everyone. People often fail at assessing their own aptitude. In my case, I know I could improve by working harder and analyzing more completely, but I believe my current level of effort yields me an edge.

Beyond that, people are often undone by their emotions. I belong to a private group with many high-wealth people including industry insiders. People love to sell at the bottom. The stock may be down 40%, and they'll say I know it's cheap, but it could go down another 20% -- so I'll sell now and then buy back in at the bottom. You can guess how that goes.

Another productive day for the Street. Apple is actually at $205. Be still my heart.

Watch out. Apple’s biggest bear predicts 120 for AAPL. Big story in Barrons today. But you know what they say about opinions………….., but that’s one reason I spread my basket of eggs around….. gold, CDs, dividends, stocks, ETFs, other natural resources, even a tax deferred annuity. Probably should, but never buy Treasuries on my own or individual bonds while keeping stocks under 20 percent. You just never know today………but for now, 🤞

Market closed Investors are rotating out of tech. Probably want to lock in some recent big gains. The big money will sell all at once. Then buy back cheaper. I’ve been trying to do the same thing with small money. Check out the chart for 2025 below

YTD. Not spectacular, but slow but sure up is better than a crash. Plus 6.5 percent if it holds, and keeps the same pattern, that would be 13 percent for the year. That I Will take any day

I just bought 4 NOW shares at $1K per. A RF and they’d be free. Just hoping this dart throw isn’t a bust. My portfolio is mostly tech. I may call them to sell a few positions.

I try to keep a balance between my tech and crypto. (They're both zero :evil: .)

What do you like about tech?
