Ride the wave baby !

Top ten are exploding in stock price with an average p/e of 230 and miniscule dividends...

Those stocks look like they are good to ride for the trade wave until ? Being an old codger I'm content with my low p/e widow and orphan stocks returning 5+% dividends which increase every year
 
August and Seotember are historically the worst two months for stocks, and for the past 20 years, July has been the best month (following "sell in May and go awaY" has cost folks recently.
. This has held true for the most part in recent years. Tech stocks tend to rise the most and go down hte most so I usually take some profits and trim in mid-July, esp for leveraged items and the most volatile tech stocks.

Toss in the historical October stock market crashes :eek:
 
Hearing Trumo today lovingly describe how tariffs completely funded the US govt from 1897-1913 gives me pause on what might be coming.
And if nothing else hjigh tariffs are a terrible tax on middle and working class
 
ok guys, we have another opportunity for today for the TACO trade...

Trump has now threatened Canada with a 35% tariff and has instructed his stock portfolio to buy stocks hand over fist near the end of the day ( 3pm ? ) and early Monday as traders seek to dump heading into the weekend not knowing what next week will bring... but Trump knows;)

Sometime early next week he will announce that he is pausing the Canada 35% tariff hinting that Canada has called him to make a deal. The traders will respond true to form and the markets will recover the previous loss and maybe go higher than that.

I'm buying at the open on Monday and then selling a day or two after Taco announces the pause on Canada tariffs.
