Stock Market is the bottom in?

Looking at Ajinomoto. Not sure if the move is over. Need to do a bit more due diligence.
Whats making you eye this? Past 5 years went up 2-4 bucks a year. P/E is 55, seems high for that kind of industry. They got a bad news about glass in their frozen chicken. 2-4 bucks a year growth should put them around 25, maybe upto 30 considering folks are looking for non-AI stocks.

Surfing volitility wave on this one?

With things moving around I have a few bucks, but waiting till monday mornings dust settles. However, just scooped up a few share of that big bear AI. See what you folk are talking about. Boeing at 180 in november, now its 231. Still worth it? Big spark for their bunker busters?

Someone in Congress bought it, I think. Something about their food additives working as an insulator for microprocessors? I'll look into it more Sunday evening. Haven't bought any yet.
 
Yesterday I bought some VTI, VXUS and AVUV. Just a little.
 
What do you guys think about monday madness. Yuo look at some stocks over the weekend, maybe place a queue on it, and bam it jumps up or down. Anyway to suspect where it going to go, like seeing the "Wait list" to buy or sell, or click it fast at 9:31........

Wondering when VXUS would be in a good dip. Also south korea ETF EWY too.

Kinda feel my job's T Rower price has AVUV in it as an option. Was going to add it in a few months if things level out a touch. Best bang for the buck is maxing out that roth and even 401k limits.

This is a good start. If they keep on this path, they could be the first mass production food company that could deliver less toxic food. I think they have to see profit first, but every other brand that has tried this sees massive pricing power, but they have to put it in the regular grocery store.

Jovial is getting $10.50/lb for their heirloom pasta without glyphosate. And $10.50/lb isn’t expensive. The 12 oz box at $8 should feed 3 people in a meal, $2.66/ea for pasta. Still way cheaper than gas station or drive thru, even when you add in meat, sauce, bread, butter.

I saw yesterday a Jacks pizza is $8 at a local gas station.

With roundup, what do you think is worse, the cart or the horse? I hear the bad part is the roundup resistance. They innoculate corn with some sort of bacteria that eats up the roundup. Think that causes celiac or celiac like issues.

It’s almost useless at this point in time. The reason it’s still such a big problem in food is because it is sprayed on wheat 7 days before it’s harvested to desiccate the crop and enable even dry down.

Once you follow the path of wheat, it paints the picture of how it is in nearly all food, unless it’s whole foods that don’t contain enriched wheat flour. Every doughnut, every pizza, every bun has it, every snack.

I’d keep an eye on VLO. They had the cat by the hind end when we had cheap oil and high fuel prices. High oil prices could impact what they bring to the bottom line.

What impact on our economy, will a "Deal" with Cuba have? This seems to be about to happen. I can see LOTS of investment. development there for Casino's, hotels, resorts, food, infrastructure, and much more. Lots of uncertainties about how it would be governed, etc. Could be a huge development area and new destination for snow birds.

I wonder if any large resorts currently operate in Cuba? They would likely know the ropes right out of the gate.

Could be a real surprise for the markets? Also, who makes that microwave device that puts down the drones Iran has fired at us? Seems that tech is pretty neat....not sure about other applications. May the force be with you.

You’d move all the Cubans off the island, and put them in New York, Florida, Texas, Arizona, Michigan, or Minneapolis. Then the brothers and cousins of the chosen people swoop in and take all the land and pop up condos and resorts. It’s gonna be Hawaii but a shorter flight.

Supposedly Havana was a hot spot for tourism years ago.
 
I'm moving into AI and humanoid robotics. I still have a lot of reading to do, but that's what I'll be looking into tomorrow before trading starts. Might take all week to figure out everything, but I'm starting to feel like it's the play for my.long-term holds.

Take a good look at cyberdyne systems. They got new air force system called skynet.

Not that Im any good at this. Amazon, AMD, palanitir, and betting on a long shot bigbear ai. There's a recent thing about military not using anthropic AI. Guess they want to not be into military. Telsa just doesn't look like a money maker on the chart. Not alot of growth, but, I am betting they want to buy their shares back. Haven't bought any but that would be my plan for it.

Think healthcare and AI tempus might be one to look into. But, I'm thinking the big pharma companies might have their own investments. maybe they need a 3rd party to validate their new drug studies.

Sprott has a critical metals for energy industry and a metals miner ETF I am interested in.

AI's block is energy, its 1971 eldorado far as the grid is concerned. My state has put a block to it, but didnt need to electricty rates are sky high here. The US has about a year before the grid is max'd out. Electric homes, cars, and regular technology advancement already strained the US even before AI was in the picture.

they call it sub 6. 6 cents a kilowatt or cheaper. Places where natural gas can't be piped out, or local electric needs are too low is a hot spot. Texas, oklahoma, nebraska, kansas. If I remember the states well. Takes a ton of elelctricty to run it, and uses a ton of air conditioning to warm up our toasty little planet more.

Folks who make modestly sized gas turbines, even big ones. westinghouse, GE, even caterpillar has smaller industrial gas turbines (solar). Somebody is pushing fuel cells at these sites, Bloom energy. Solar is easy to permit vs other types of energy, but its on the expensive side. I think bill gates is working on putting data centers in the ocean to solve the cooling part. microsoft and amazon are actively building nuclear.

Nuclear is expensive, slow, and bad taste in voters mouths. Make their electric bill high enough,, they'll forget how to spell chernobyl. My school had a small training nuclear reactor. Fluor might be a builder, cameco sourcing the fuel, bechtel could be in on it too, IF nuclear AI is your interest, find out who is leading the way in europe, then see US trailing behind with those folks. Nuscale has some NRC approvals, but has a ways to go. They're making a site in romania. Too much red vs blue team tug of war to make years long projects come to life.

For starters, 11 million people who own nothing. It's an untapped market for literally EVERYTHING. Electronics, furniture, appliances, clothes, food, liquor, financial services, entertainment, cars, building materials, machinery, weapons, communications, energy, you name it. As the people earn money, they'll be looking to spend it, and US exports could be a huge share of that market. And their industries were run into the ground, so they produce almost nothing themselves.

We could get access to their minerals, arable land, seafood, tobacco, coffee, etc., for cheap.

They also have millions of people who could provide cheap unskilled labor, which is a complement to the workforce of the US. Do the unskilled manufacturing in Cuba and send cheap components to the US so Americans can do the value-added work, like we so with China, Mexico, Vietnam. But you save a lot on shipping costs because it's 100 miles from the port of Miami and not much further to New Orleans or Houston.
 
I hope whatever deal we have they stay there

Cubans tend to assimilate well, and Cuban Americans tend to vote Republican. You could do a lot worse. But there's no reason to bring them to the US. They're not becoming a state, so they will still need visas. And with a change in government, they're unlikely to be granted asylum.
 
How many regime changes are we going to juggle at the same time?
