Tamas, do you mostly invest in the US markets?

I have very little money in it so it doesn't even worth analysing. The plan was to regularly add to it (with most of my savings going to normal savings), but that's now on hold until Trump saves us all from Mexicans ruining the stock market.

"dead cat bounce" may be my favourite euphemism ever.   :)

Buying puts on Netflix is looking attractive right now.  :hmm:
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Because of the price increase, or something else?

Habbaku

I actually think the price increase is a good thing for them. Their subscriber base seems, to me, pretty resilient to increases due to the perceived value. Increasing like they are shores up their revenue position a lot.

Mostly, though, I think the stock is horribly inflated. For a supposed growth stock, it's getting long in the tooth. I don't see their ability to expand much further into areas they're targeting (India), for instance. Then again, their floating threat to start policing multiple log-ins on the same account might actually give them even more subscribers.

I'm not going to pull the trigger, but I am going to see what things are like in a few hours for a sick thrill.

I am extremely happy when interest rates go up  :showoff:

Ha, it depends on what one is investing in - real estate guys tend to hate it...

Oh, the galaxy of investing options out there...

First off, Armanino Fine Foods of Distinction (AMNF) is a real gem of a small-cap.  It's below $3/share, pays around 3% in dividends, and is very well-run.  Nice little family business that makes meatballs and pesto.  I've had it for years, and it's a nice little penny stock.  Growth PLUS dividends?  Yes, please.  Plus, the kids aren't interested in running the company, so it's a possible buy-out candidate in the near to mid-term future.

Royal Nickel (RNKLF) up in Canada is a nickel AND gold miner - and they found a LOT of gold in an established nickel mine in Western Australia (the Beta Hunt mine).  It's bounced between 30ish and 80ish cents for the last few months, but they are quite likely to pop when the full seam gets explored.  There's a 4km seam down there, and plenty of gold to be mined.  Worth looking into, if you have some cash to spare.  Eric Sprott is on board, and has bought upwards of 10% of the shares... and he knows his mining business.

There's some others out there that I like, but I'll save them for later.
