Damn, Walgreens is down 16%. No tax inversion.
No go on inversion was definitely a factor, but so was EPS outlook for 2016 dropping.

Rite aid did too. It is now < 6 from a high of 8.62.
My good friend shorted it @ 20k shares from around ~8ish. He is a high roller and works for RAD LOL.
I thought you said index fund was the way. Obviously your friend thinks not. Good for him !! And you coulda made a fortune shorting RAD with him.... lol
He is a multi-millionaire in the mid 30, got inheritances. Dude takes vacation 8-10 times a year, $10-20k a pop. He can afford to gamble.
He has inside information!
Tomorrow is a good entry point to take another position if you have some cash. Could drop a lot more but I don't have a crystal ball and at 200d moving avg, it could go either way: bouncing back really fast or crashing hard. Buying $10k worth on Friday.
what are you buying on friday?

These has less than target, so I am adding money to rebalance into the under performance funds to keep it back to target allocation.

I'm curious, who bought WAG when it tanked about 20%? I put in about 20k at 59.40.
............ = I don't really know what the freaking heck I am doing here
+ "if you have some cash"

just a note: besides "bouncing up" and "crashing hard", how about going sideways ???? lol jk
= kamikaze...
"less than target" + "under performance funds" + "am adding money...to keep it back to target allocation" = fancy talk for losing + desperately keep throwing more money into the game in hope to get some back ...
hmm... I think I've seen and heard that somewhere before.... hmmmmm
money pit ??
seriously get help bro !! Get help from a professional STAT. Only a phone call away.
Anyway I wish you luck !! Banzai !!
Too bad, I don't need luck, you do when you are blindly convincing yourself you are the next Warren Buffet. I have a plan that has made me 60k shy of a millionaire, and more to come for the next 40 years. I suggest you do the same. Rebalancing, Asset Allocation, IPS, and bogleheads philosophy. Look it up kiddo. Come back when you have money and know what you are talking about. Better yet, send me your brokerage statement for past 5 years if you think you can do better than me. Until then...
LoL. Look dude, I have no need to prove anything to you or send you anything unless you were the IRS.
Judging by the results you are posting here talking out from both sides of your mouth in "real time", you do not look so hot.... compared to my results posting here in the same time period. Results dude !! And dont tell me your horizon is 90s years now... Lol
But I bet you dare to post your bank statements here just to show you are really a hot millionaire. Until then your words are just a bunch of horse****. But banzai to you hot stuffs !!
That's how a little girl play spouting back sh1t I just said. Pathetic. Weak.
Too bad you can't play with the big boys. Keep hoping you are gonna make it big, stock picking with your imaginary money. Day dreaming is good for you. You need luck/skill/crystal ball, or whatever you wanna call it. Lots of it. I don't need any because I already made it.
Awww shucks... S&P YTD performance 6%... Vanguard REITS (my roth ira) up 16.34% YTD... Feel like I am buying $5500 into REITS at the peak... sheeeet! =(
Everyone is scared it will crash... the hard trade is buying, now. Buy more :-D
Bought $2500 to VSIAX with my paycheck XD
Dude that's an admiral fund, $10k min...unless you're already in for $10k+. Can't remember your portfolio.
Investing in a good vacuum cleaner ?? Sure better than buying VSIAX. ~46s on 07/03, 44's now after a month as of today 07/30 (~ - 5%). Let's pray to God it will not drop anymore (no crash nooo )... But hope people might still be able to make some money with it after 50 years (with inflation ??). Oh wait, a vacuum cleaner will probably not last 50 years... Hmmm what to do.....
Doubling down on the dips today... $2500 from regular pay check, $2500 from saving. DOW 300 off. Some bargain lol.
Futures down 99 points on the DOW. Woot! Converting Trad IRA to ROTH, buying $5500 into REITS <3. Finally caught a break for me to buy this year... waited too long, should have bought it in January 1st (REITS is up more than 15% YTD... ;-; ), never again.
Hoping DOW to test 200 days support at or below 16,333 so I can put more money in. Still have $30k cash left to invest. The more it drops, the happier I am. Crash, yes please (20% or more lol)!

VSIAX red again and closed @ 43.11 today 08/08/14
Woooo.... What a trend and performance !! Oh wait... Time horizon is 100 years now.... Hope you will be able to count beans for a long time.
Priceless !!!! lol
For short term investment (< 1 year), is it worth it considering profit is taxed at regular income taxes?
Can't fix stupid. Don't know the difference between investing and trading. Stupid is as stupid does. The best part is you don't even have a penny to rub together. That's a classic right there. It's like taking life advice from a homeless person.

For me, the answer will be a no. But it depends on your overall style. Trading vs. investing. Can't mix both either, or you will be the pig in Wall Street.

seriously, no one checked those picks out or played them, it seemed like ??
NQ for example, hit $3.45 low on 07/14/14 and hit $8.44 high today 07/30/14, a whooping ROI of 245% in less than 2 wks.... USU hit low $2.71 on 06/30 and high $12.35 on 07/02 to yield a "modest" return of only 456% in just 2-3 days.... just some of the great few from that initial list of mine posted on 06/28....
and many more are still working hard if you check them out... (Again remember it is your responsibility to do your own research/DD carefully as you are playing with your own money and timing is everything).
Cha-ching anyone ?? I know I know buying mutual funds or index funds is the way... Stupid me lol
let me tell you "monopoly money millionaire" this: do not imagine that you are "investing" in anything as there is no such thing as "investing" in the real stock market. It is all a game for people to legally rob one another on Wall Street. The winner takes all !! The losers are paying the winners. Winner or loser, it is all about timing. But I bet you do not know that (duh... well I give you that they did not teach you any of this in pharmacy school... or not your fault that you are born an idiot, right ?? )
You have zero skill and should always remember that. Just look at your record here. I am not lying to you. You go and ask your own friends that question, esp the one from your own story who shorted RAD recently from the 8s, and see what they are really telling you !! You are more fitting to be counting some stinky beans than playing this game. Accept that !! Don't pretend to be something you are not. And do not assume anyone that they are not having/making money because you think they are just some traditional, regular or average pre-pharm student. I am not.
The way I see you are "investing" or "trading" on here "real time", you will surely be the one that will be left with nothing but your two b@lls to rub together. Don't go beg for my shiny little "pennies" then !! You will have whatever left in your sorry "horizon" to suck your own... (well, I'll let you fill in the blank whatever you wish) !! lol
enjoy burning money and God bless !! Peace !!
It's funny it took this long for someone to get tired of Momus stroking himself. He only posts his winners on here. I'm sure he never makes a bad trade/investment. Funny thing is he doesn't realize he's just a little player in a big game. Let's see how brilliant he looks when a good percent of his overinflated Fed money disappears in the next crash. I'm sure he'll still be posting all of his great moves on here.

I am now officially tired to response to his more horse**** throwing at me... just dodge, shrug, and move on... I am sure many feel the same... no time for this ****...
but to his defense he's always got that 50-100 year horizon, brother !! that is when most of us here already die or are too tied to read anything.... lol
Yeah i put like 11 k in emerging market last year. Of course I like the feeling of it when it goes up but it doesn't matter at this point because i am not planning to cash out until i am in my 50s. I would actually prefer it going down (i know sucks for people retiring). The only stock I care for is my company stocks. A lot of money in it and they are for short term.
OK Guys: Stop with the name calling. High School is over for all of us...... You each have your personal beliefs.
I hope you all accumulate all of the wealth you want and you live long enough to enjoy it.
I believe in world peace. But I cannot afford to not say anything when people like the great Mamus here keep calling others, who think differently than him, stupid or broke or *****s, while his records here say otherwise.
Sure you can as long as it's not more important to you be right rather than happy. Just because someone wants to act like an ass does not mean you have to oblige him.
Yeah I got HOSED. Guess I'll be on beans and rice, rice and beans for a while to scrape together the money to buy some more shares
this is a lesson for me !! Thanks !!

But I think you are right. Amen and halleluiah !!
ya, live long enough is the key imho.
I hope to make and enjoy all the money I can while I can still gather enough strength to even walk in my "horizon" (hint: my "horizon" is surely not some 50-100ish years). May God bless me !! Cheers lol
I am 56 years old and have basically worked retail (with the public) since I was 15 and worked on a lunch truck. Over that time I have come to the conclusion that you can NEVER use reason with a crazy person. If you are wearing a blue shirt and someone comes up to you and says it's a lovely shade of pink. Say thank you and go one your way. No amount of logic will convince a person who thinks your blue shirt is pink, that it is actually blue...... Better to be happy and go on with your life.
To add insult to injuries, WAG is planning to expedite $1 billion in cuts
The academic professionals REALLY have something to gain when they show indexing wins 90% of the time. I mean you should totally trust someone who has vested interest in your bank account, like your broker, your financial planner. They don't need your money. They are completely unbiased. Calling a stock market = a ponzi scheme and long term investors = sheep, this is exactly why you should quit your job. Your lack of depth about understanding a subject is remarkable. You are totally clueless. Hilarious!

I got it on Google Play on 8/7, although it was a bit strange. I had my preorder in for the 18th, but on the 7th I got a notice that it was cancelled. I figured that there was some kind of delay or whatever, but I wanted to renew the preorder for the new release date. Instead, it just let me outright buy it and start reading right then.The Bogleheads' Guide to Investing-Second Edition just came out on August 18, 2014!
