The China stimulus package will most certainly cause inflation... the normal cycle will just put us in like w 5-6% rates... this isn't spurring any "real demand" so to speak especially given what we've been used to for 15 years. The third scenario (IMHO most likely especially if more inflation comes back) is the worst of all...

Ooh, nice. I didn't get the impression that anyone here bought individual stocks. FWIW, Morningstar sets their fair value at $12.64. I hope it goes even higher for you. I cannot say that I ever heard of this company. I'd consider the award of that big NASA contract to be a huge endorsement. A 354% YTD gain is quite a moonshot, indeed. Nice pun, BTW.

This is all in my family's multi-generation play money investment account, and I only bought a grand of the stock well before their moon landing. Speaking of puns, I'm hoping that it doesn't crater after tomorrow's earnings call.....

This sounds like a solid choice for an exploration position to me. More puns. On edit: Mr Market is still over the moon on LUNR. Another 23% gain in after hours trading.

Berkshire's new filing indicates stakes in Domino's, POOL and Heico. Domino's is up nearly 8% in after hours trading.Morningstar gives it a fair value of $415. But, we know that Berkshire does thorough due diligence.

I admittedly haven’t played with the market up until recently (…our deferred compensation investments are handled via Charles Schwab and our government pension portfolio via the county). That said, I decided to dabble a little bit recently, acquiring shares of DJT, HON and AAOI. Any tips for a stock newbie?

So instead, I just put everything into two ETF's. XEQT and QQQ. On paper they've appreciated roughly 3% already in less than a month. If that growth were to continue, I'd be quite happy, but not counting on it. My goal is to just sock $5-8K / month away into those two going forward. |

The usual suggestion for new investors is to put your money into an index fund that tracks the S&P 500 and let it ride. The bulk of my play money investing account is in one most of the time.....

Well that’s already occurring with my deferred compensation plan handled by Schwab. I put 8.5% of each paycheck into my deferred compensation for Schwab to do what they do best. Another 15% goes into the pension fund.

How much longer you have to go to hit pension? I'm assuming for police the lifespan required to hit "retirement" is much shorter than your average public service employee. |

Holy crap, it finished yesterday up 21.4%!
IIRC, I bought in at $5.20 in early February, when I was reading a non-investor article about their upcoming moon landing attempt in a few weeks and owning their own space communications ground stations around the world. Everyone was focused on the moon lander, but as I and NASA figured out their more valuable asset is the ~$5 billion ground station network for lunar communications/navigation.....

There appears to be strength in small caps now. The R2000 has more than doubled the NASDAQ in 1-month. And crushed it over 5-days.
