Or the company logo engraved onto a crystal-clear plastic paperweight - for "team members." I've seen this for real ...........Don't forget the pizza party!
I'm thinking the same, Buck. Nosebleed, record high price levels seem like a good time to take some profits ......... and re-deploy that money at better PE's & more into international funds.I hit all time highs in all my accounts today. Been a very solid week. I think I am gonna take some more cookies off the table before the possible rate cuts next week. Kinda expecting a dip on rate cuts.
There are several BIG pharmaceutical companies near where we live. I can't remember which one, but a bio-chemist gent at one of them discovered a breakthrough treatment for some serious disease. The big pharma company made $$$ billions $$$ from his discovery in drug sales. His "bonus" for his discovery - which was leaked out (I'm sure with great revulsion!) - was $10K. For a multi-billion-dollar discovery, wouldn't you think the company could've parted with $100K .......... or maybe $250K? The measly "bonus" (boner) info got around the local pharma community pretty quickly. The CEO got north of $85 million for his "genius."Nothing says you're appreciated more than something of little value that's still advertising for the company. In all seriousness I would hope that they got some kind of recognition though.
I'm in that industry on the manufacturing side (we make components for the skids that make medicine essentially)...where abouts are you?There are several BIG pharmaceutical companies near where we live.

ATH are definitely something to celebrate and I appreciate your viewpoints and forecast.Yesterday I hit all time highs. Today absolutely obliterated yesterday. Had some really nice gains this week. Broadcom, Rocket Lab, Google all hit new highs this week. I think SOFI also had its highest close ever.
My thoughts on the upcoming FED meeting.
1. They will cut .25% next week
2. Then comrade "inflation is transitory" will say we need more data for additional cuts
3. Everyone is expecting rate cuts will send the market higher, but the move has already been made and when they only cut .25% it will send us down
4. Buy the rumor, sell the news
5. Fed wont cut again in October either.
6. The banking cabal is gonna beat the market down to end September and into late October
7. Towards the end of October the cabal will start buying again
8. November and December see additional cuts and the market see a strong rally to end 2025.
I wont be disappointed either way. I'd like to see a pullback to deploy more ammo.
Can’t hunt on shares of palantir is my opinion! Sure you MAY outgain land but I bet you won’t do too shabby with buying decent land either. I have about 50 times invested in land vs stocks…so maybe I’m not the best source on this matter!ATH are definitely something to celebrate and I appreciate your viewpoints and forecast.
Sold almost the rest of my PLTR today and will keep that cash for a better buying opportunity. I don't usually try to time the market because I'm no good at it, but I also feel like a pull back is coming.
What is everybody's opinion of rural land prices over the next year relative to the stock market? What will the potential rate changes do in the rural setting?
I'm considering moving a significant chunk of available money off of market ATH and into land. I have about 8-10 years until retirement but hope for steady gains as well as additional hunting opportunities.
Hard call, but I might do that as well ? If I pull some $$ from the market into farm/hunting land.. I know it’s very likely I won’t regret it !ATH are definitely something to celebrate and I appreciate your viewpoints and forecast.

For sure, even if I lost money on the deal it would be worthwhile to get some more ground. This would likely be a retirement supplement and would need to be sold in 10-15 years if not sooner.Can’t hunt on shares of palantir is my opinion!

I'm heavy too in real estate and don't mind continuing that. My problem lies with selling the land. I get attached to it and likely won't want to sell it to fund my retirement years so I need to keep some in the markets!Hard call, but I might do that as well ? If I pull some $$ from the market into farm/hunting land.. I know it’s very likely I won’t regret it !
I’m heavy real estate already, but oh well not concerned!

I doubt if land in the long run will out grow the 9% that occurs in the Stockmarket, especially if you count compounding, but unless your goal is to be the richest in the cemetery then I think buying land makes great sense. Every few years I have been selling my gains and buying land. I try to keep the worth of land equal to my retirement portfolio, I figure if needed I can sell the land to buy bologna but I am not planning on selling. In fact due to the last year in stocks, I am now shopping for more dirt.Hard call, but I might do that as well ? If I pull some $$ from the market into farm/hunting land.. I know it’s very likely I won’t regret it !
