Stocks and investments

Are you looking into Steel companies stocks now @jmanz? With that Executive Order Trump passed, plus the upcoming wall between the U.S. and Mexico they might be wise investments. Might actually be a little late now. I am sure people have been hoping on it since the day he was elected.
 
It crossed my mind but not something on my radar at the moment. US Steel ($X) dropped 27 percent yesterday. You could consider that a buying opportunity perhaps. Pretty volatile to say the least. You can make money that way but you can also get hurt.

I am surprised to see it drop, I don't see a reason for it to. You have upcoming wall, new regulations, and a pending war. Seems Strange.

 
Nucor is the company to own for steel if you want to go that route. (NUE) Decent dividend as well.
 
If war breaks out soon with North Korea, I bet it would make some companies boom. Your steel stock could really rise then. What other stocks do you think would rise? Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman?
 
All the defense stocks. The ones you named plus Raytheon and General Dynamics. Even Boeing.
 
Exxon beat earnings and Chevron crushed earnings today. The Permian Basin is producing cheap oil (cheaply extracted) and they have a good presence there. Chevron especially.
 
I believe I heard that if Amazon's stock goes to $1050/share, Bezos becomes the richest man in the world. Crazy.

While I do not doubt that a continued rise would trigger this, a $50 rise per share probably won't be that fast.  I guess with these inflated prices maybe people figure $50 doesn't sound like a lot.  Amazon hasn't done a split since 1999, hence me calling it an "inflated" price

Normally I would agree but with high growth stocks like that or Alphabet (google) it doesn't take too much. Traditional valuation seems like it gets thrown out the window when it comes to Amazon.

 
It is likely coming late fall. You'll be glad you live in a rural area when it does. Chaos not seen since the Civil War of the 1860's. "They" have been preparing for it. Plans and materials prepositioned. People forget the 8 million died of starvation/malnutrition in the Great Depression. (stats from University of Hawaii study) We were 90% agrarian in the 30s. It's now 10%. Folks in the big cities will be like rats in a cage. My Grandmother had a little dab in the bank in 1929. She got back 10 cents on the dollar. Stawk market is an illusion.
 
Have you ever wondered why stocks just seem to keep going up no matter what happens?  For years, financial markets have been behaving in ways that seem to defy any rational explanation, but once you understand the role that central banks have been playing everything begins to make sense.  In the aftermath of the great financial crisis of 2008, global central banks began to buy stocks, bonds and other financial assets in very large quantities and they haven’t stopped since.  In fact, as you will see below, global central banks are on pace to buy 3.6 trillion dollars worth of stocks and bonds this year alone.

global central banks are the real “plunge protection team”
