HODL - 26K Think Long Term & Other Investment Trends

Access to Financial Information



It's a brand new day.......

After a rollercoaster of a ride yesterday on Wall street, record high ends the session today. The DOW Jones after breaking the 26K barrier yesterday did not sustain there. However, today.......

  • DJI closed over 26K at $26,115.62 (+322.79   1.25%)
  • Nasdaq $7,298.28 (+74.59    1.03%)
  • S&P 500  $2,802.56  (+26.14   0.94%)


Encouraging statements out of APPLE (APPL) $179.10 (+2.91 1.65%), as they announce a $350 billion investment excluding a $5 billion advanced manufacturing fund & expects to add 20,000 jobs over the next 5 years. All the while it will pay a $38 billion tax bill, so that foreign money can be moved back into the US.

Boeing Co (BA) $351.01 (+15.85   4.73%)  Travel, airbus demands seems to be the motivation behind it's strong market growth.

IBM (IBM) $168.65 (+4.80  2.93%) up on speculations of cloud computing, possible share gains in microprocessors on the wake of Intel & Advanced Micro Devices chip flaws.


On the crypto front the word of the day is 'HODL" 

As I mentioned in yesterday post. This is what the markets do. Spikes & dips......Candlesticks

Yet, rest assure that the current market actions are just what is needed......volatility! When you have a 2000% upward trend over the course of 12 months, one can surely expect this kind of market actions 01/16/2018. Where most altcoins took between a 16.00% and 30.00% dip.

People have to remember that in the early stage of the game, long-term should be the thought process. Hold, study what are the causes, act but don't over react!

There will be multiple situations over the coming months/years that will cause one to go into panic mode. Regulatory concerns, China, Korea, the US dollar, gold prices. The list can go on. Yet, knowing that you are in it for the long haul should be of some relief.  

If you are one of the early birds that got in some year ago and beyond. You are still sitting pretty. Your gains far out weight any current losses of recent days.  From the chart below, you can see that most top coins are up in the plus range over the last 24 hrs.
  • Bitcoin - $11,426.15  +8.28 (24 hr. Change)
  • Bitcoin cash - $1,769.67  8.09%
  • Ethereum - $1,045.12  12.26%  
  • Ripple -  $1.33  +33.60%
  • Litecoin -$192.89  +16.33%
  • Neo - $152.69  +30.56%
  • Cardano - $0.673  +29.61

My Personal Top PICK & TRACK Stocks for 2018

Staying informed on stock market investments

Search engine for things you can buy with Bitcoin
The "2018 Wehit "Pick & Track" chart will be a personal top 20 pick that I have an interest in. These picks, I will post as of this posting several times a week on their progress.They are a variation of biotech, technology, cannabis and cryptocurrency entities. I am watching the performance of these stocks as part of an on-going research into these industries in 2018. Again, these are of interest to @wehit and are in no way a recommendation.

Stocks are a weird entity of sorts.  For centuries humans have made and lost fortunes in the markets. Billions have been invested, millions spent trying to understand it's behavior. Which is probably why we are drawn towards it's unpredictability and risk it's financial rewards.




UPDATED after CLOSE:

01/16/2018 (LOTs  of REDS)


Today, the Dow hits 26K yet closed out at $25,792.86  -10.33  0.04% (+4.34 for the year)

As the Nasdaq slides $7,224.00 -37.06  0.51% (+4.64 for the year)

While the S&P500 holds @ 2776.42 0.00  0.00% (+3.85 for 2018)


All on the heels of the euro as it hits a 3yr. high against the USD.


GE takes a beating, dipping -0.55  2.93% to $18.21


In the crypto world,  also on edge, even though the altcoins are performing as expected when you throw volatility in the mix. Still, most took a grave hit today.



  • Bitcoin - $11,256.55  -16.39%
  • Bitcoin cash - $1,770.17  -23.03%
  • Ethereum - $1,036.69  -17.42%  
  • Ripple -  $1.21  -24.39%
  • Litecoin -$189.46  -16.37%
  • Neo - $142.17  -21.58%
  • Cardano - $0.595  -19.67


It seems that most altcoins took a huge dip between -16.00% to -30.00%

Welcome to the world of investments........

The stock markets with it's SPIKE's (up's) and DIP's (down's) acts almost as if they were a pinball machine, bouncing around, up & down day in day out.  Never knowing when that ball will slip between your flippers. 


 
Yet, the financial returns are a sense of  future security, particular when in it for the long-term. If you are planning to invest in a company knowingly for 5, 10 15 years. Tracking will only cause you an emotional distress. That seesaw reflection you will witness, likely will keep you up at nights.

However, tracking the companies that you have shares with is your obligation .  As an investor, you want as much information on financial reports, company earnings, quarterly meetings, management changes and data on stocks. Again, this is your duty, as your future yields & gains depends on knowing the happenings of said company.




Below, I have taken the first 5 of 20 companies that I am researching in 2018. These are not recommendation as stated, yet, are within industries that I feel are worthy of potential gains.

The Markets Continue To Advance 2 wks Into 2018

Upward trend in US markets


The US markets continues to sustain it's record breaking momentum. Rising almost 1% this week, 27k on the DOW Jones $25,803.19  +228.86 (+0.89%) will surely present itself in a timely manner. 

Despite interest rate worries earlier in the week, the S&P 500 had it 7th straight week of gains @ $2,786.24  +18.68 (+0.67%).  While the Nasdaq advanced $7,261.06  +49.28 (+0.68%) and the Russell 2000 inched upward of  $1,591.97  +5.18 (+0.33%).  

In other financial news, experts believe the 1st half of 2018 will continue in a strong manner on the heels of  4th quarter reports due out within the next few weeks. Starting with banking giant, JPMorgan Chase surpassing earnings expectations.

Boeing Co. (BA), perhaps it's their concept hyper-sonic aircraft design, maybe the future in unmanned cargo vehicles or in fact just the upswing in final orders in late December. With that combination, could explain Boeing's strong week end finish @ $335.11 +6.99 (2.13%)  



 Powur Disrupt & Decentralize


The social media giant Facebook Inc. (FB) dipped -8.40 (4.40%) to $179.37 after announcing changes to their News-feed. These changes, will stream more personal news-feed whether than brands. Which in turn may result in less time being spend on the site.

Gold, natural gas & commodities all enjoyed a boost this week as well. 

Investors are becoming a bit more cautious as they look for a more volatile market in the near future. The assistance of the 2017 tax cuts has continued to improve economic growth and corporate earnings, in turn should fortify decent growth well into 2018.




 
The "2018 Wehit "Pick & Track" chart will be my own personal top 16 pick that I have an interest in. These picks, I will post as of this posting several times a week on their progress.
