Wow. Sounds like they might build the plant right here in Buffalo NY.
Might take a few months.

Stupid bank! It had some technical problems so I couldn't sell DDD and SSYS at their peaks today, I sold at around 2pm only. Damnit, would have made a bit more profit.
Oh well, at least I made some money on both. Now my 3d printing stake is balanced at least, used to be too overweight.

If they stop trying to make hardware they might do better, otherwise any improvement will be offsetted by failures on the hardware side. Nintendo should be all about TV shows, characters, toys, software/games, etc. They are taking their sweet time trying to figure that one out because they keep trying to sell hardware.

Every time I look at my watch list I hate myself more and more.
I wanted to invest in EA but I added it to my watchlist instead, now its up 30% and I'm like WTF what are the odds of that.
Grrr....it makes me think the spare money I have I should stop being to cautious with and just start buying. Its money I put off to the side where if I lose it I won't hurt(aside from my ego).
Although the first meaningful buy/sell I ever did was with Solarcity Corp, I bought them "cheap" a few months ago then sold for 30% profit a few days ago. Feels good man.

Sold all my AMZN shares for a small profit. They have a lot of potential by using prime as a entry to get into almost anything imaginable, even providing internet, TV, etc., but their recent moves on the phone and unlimited kindle have been misfires and missed opportunities to come in strong, so it's too uncertain. I'll stick to Google on the "company of all things" bet, although the P/E is getting high and I expect them to be increasingly targeted by legislators.

AMZN will suffer huge setbacks (in Europe at least) once tax loopholes are closed in a few years.

BTW if I want to buy some Adidas shares, I have to buy ADDYY which is over the counter, anything I should be aware of before doing that?

Sold my NKE shares. I think UA is going to give them serious competition faster than expected, and I don't see NKE being able to grow fast enough to prevent that from hitting the stock's value. I've owned NKE for almost a year and made good profit, but I'm no longer confident enough as them being the only real player around.

Hopefully you didn't buy ADS. Terrible stock/company. I would definitely stick with UA or NKE.

Yeah I didn't after further review. Why are they tanking today?
Everything's tanking today...
Even my energy MLPs, which until now have pretty much been unaffected for...ever. Should've sold yesterday, but I had no idea they'd tank so hard and fast.

What would you guys and gals say are 'good' Biotech ETF's?
I have a question on selling stocks for a loss and taxes (American). If I sell a stock for a loss, I know I can put that against my gains to reduce my tax bill, but do I have to do that? Can I sell and wait like a year or two or 3?
The two stocks left in my fun money account that I have been slowly trying to liquidate are huge losers, and I just found out that the online broker is going to charge me 50 bucks since I don't have a whole lot in there now. I don't want to put those losers against my gains this year because I am going back to school so those tax credits wipe out my tax obligations. Can I sell these losers this year and put them against my gains 2-3 years from now?

You can't defer. Has to be the same year.

Fuck, stupid cheap online broker. Well, maybe my investments will increase dramatically in value and get past the minimum threshold, lol... yea, that is not going to happen.
decisions, decisions. I guess I will need to do some calculations to see whether I should sell now or incur the penalty.
Hrmm, actually, can I transfer those funds to a different brokerage and not incur a penalty? Right now, those investments are with Trade King and I would move them to Vanguard if possible. Based on google, it looks like this is a possibilty, but I just wanted to see if anyone has experience doing it.

Curious to see Canadian banks stocks' performance this week: http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2014-...blic-consultation-on-bank-bail-in-policy.html
Garth had a good take on it: http://www.greaterfool.ca/2014/08/03/baleful/
BTW, question about RRSP; if I contribute more than my limit this year, does it mean I can just offset my tax credit to another year, or do I get some sort of penalty? Cause I'm guessing if I write off the maximum from my taxes, additional contributions having no impact would mean no penalty right?
I'm going to get a bonus and want to invest it in the same funds and let it start growing now, even though I'd end up contributing over my limit. If there is no penalty, the year I buy a house I was thinking I could make 0 contributions to my RRSP and just use the previous years' excess contributions. Good or bad idea?

I think you can only do that for personal returns when your loss is more than $3k in a given year.

Yes the stuff in the OP is still relevant.
Another bad day for the market. All we need is a higher interest rate announcement and get ready for a ride.

Tesla's market cap is now worth half Honda's, BMW, and more than half of GM's.
Btw, you guys still think Adidas is not worth it at the current price? It has fallen so much, they are bound to shake things up. Still weary because of UA though, they are a bit of a game changer so it's difficult to evaluate anyone right now. Made me sell all my NKE shares recently because UA could reduce everyone else's market share, and Adidas are probably the most vulnerable.

Haha days like these are always strange. Early last year, I remember having two weeks in a row where I'd have a big move up on Monday, then stay within $5 of the Monday close for the rest of the week. That was eerie.
0.11% move down for me today...not much of a change either on my end.
This was today for me. I lost TWO DOLLARS today. 2 dollars. On the entire portfolio. It shows up as 0.00% on google finance :lol

I should have said "except canada", I guess it's coming.
Desparately waiting for the bubble here to burst, yeah lol.
In other news, my emerging market ETF is up near 17% for the year (VEE.TO). No complaints, that's most of all my ETFs.
