About market, today was a typical 1% pullback on an intraday basis. It is very easy to see that those who over-reacts to even Chinese slowdown news, are NOT feeling very smart by end of the day. Stay the course & think very long-term like five years, with your best ideas to invest. Stay diversified in growth stocks & "it will come together"

BLOG does NOT give buy or sell.

GOOD DAY SIR

Very cool on amazon
What huge surprise--up in pre market now.....

My ERF pays a nifty dividend down a little--maybe copper has returned from the dead --
FCX and SCCO came back some by the close

I think coppers will do fine in the 3 quarter--
I hope so...
