Okay. Not really. But that's sometimes how my mind kind of works. I own stock in Walmart, and we will have our Christmas party, or gathering, or celebration, or whatever you want to call it, on the 10th of January.
That's when...

Sometimes when you play around with the stock market, you get curious and want to play the "what if" game. In many ways, especially at times when the stock market feels "slow," you need that added perspective to appreciate the...

The wars going on in various parts of the world and the tight atmosphere due to such conditions always put a great amount of strain on the stock market. If stock markets in the US or in any European country or Japan fluctuate, it...

Tariffs are flung on the goods of all nations. Some retaliate.
As a capitalist nation this upends the economy, fluctuation on the stock market.
The price of many stocks fell. Billionaires were losing money.
Then, there was...

Let's pray that people won't lose too much money. I suggest that with all the hype, is to set yourself a "risk" plan.
The usual wisdom is to buy low and sell high. If too many people sell a stock at the same time, and there...

It's not even 730am as I write this, but last night some stock market futures were suggesting an 800 point run up on the 30-stock Dow Jones Industrial Average, and this morning in premarket trading, all areas of the market are...

Is it really a strategy, or just a convenient circumstance? Either way, it works however indirect the return may be ultimately, and how mostly insignificant the contributions are.
I drink Miller Lite and own shares of Miller...

After 155 years, Campbell Soup Company has proposed a name change to shareholders for the company, and I think in a matter like this, shareholders will embrace it. It's an insignificant thing on the whole and doesn't impact...

The markets have been tumbling, and it looks like today they will tumble further. It's a panicked frenzy of selling based on investor sentiment that a recession may be coming, that the Fed may have made a mistake by keeping rates...

Well, that's just the way it goes and it happens over and over again. The stock market has taken some deep tumbles, with the worst day since 2022 on the S&P 500 happening on Friday and the Dow closing down over 600 points and...

Ford Motor Company is a stock I have owned for decades, and the one thing about it, that is sometimes annoying, is that it's just never been an exciting stock by any stretch of the imagination.
In all the years I have owned it,...

Ever since I bought into the IPO roughly two years ago, it's been a virtual roller coaster ride owning EV automaker Rivian, which makes the R1T pickup truck and the RS1 SUV as well as the new Amazon delivery vans.
I just wrote a...

So, I will often tell you about the winners when it comes to the stock market. Texas Roadhouse (TXRH) and Walmart (WMT) being recent examples. But I have a real tanker in my portfolio, and it is not the only one. But this one is...

The earnings report was yesterday, the 15th of February, and I held my shares with my own due diligence suggesting that TXRH would most likely at least meet analyst expectations and report good numbers.
My shares were already up...

The stock market did very well for us today. I mean, it was a really good day. My Texas Roadhouse stock for example is over a 15% gain and I am trying to decide whether to realize more upside or just sell.
My Amazon...

Let's face it. No one knows. When it comes to investor sentiment regarding an earnings call, it's anyone's guess how they will react to it. I mean, if it were that easy to call, I'd have quite a lot more money than I...

It's the only thing that sucks about this time of the year for a guy like me who practically makes his living from the stock market.
It's closed until January 2nd and today was the last trading day of 2023.
So, the next few days...

From time to time, companies either need to unload cash or something else happens that they feel more is due to shareholders than their typical dividend. They are most often referred to as "supplemental dividends."
