AGNC finally broke through $23 for the first time since October 2013; a nice victory, even if psychological.

I have been very pleased that U.S. Treasury bonds have been doing very well this year despite tapering by the Fed.

Read in the Economist that 80% of US retail investors pay for investment advice.  :wacko:

I spend many hours researching things. I guess that's really not too much better.

Sometimes I think I'd just do better to hire MiM as my financial guru.  :P

A way to play that would be Yahoo!. They own a big share of it.

Alibaba is going  to be a US listing.  Don't see the need  to make a 2nd cousin play.  Especially when Yahoo! is otherwise a crap company.

I agree with you, but not everybody gets a chance to participate in the IPO. The only other way is to buy after it goes public.

U.S. Treasury yields hit a new low for the year today. Bond bears may get slaughtered in the near future if not already hurting. The U.S. economy might have actually contracted the first quarter, and there is no convincing evidence yet that this quarter will be a full "bounce back."

Good. Hopefully we also get a SprinT-Mobile merger.

Going to buy some EnorNOC (ENOC).  Read an article in The Economist.  They pay companies to switch off equipment during peak electricity demand.  Active in Europe, which is going to have increasing electricity supply problems IMO.  Plus they just reported a big quarterly loss and their share price dived.

I'm also thinking there's a built in discont because their name is  too close to Enron's.  :ph34r:
