Looks like oil may be taking another dive with the US producing somewhat of a "glut", I think the only thing keeping it as high as it is are the cuts agreed upon, with the Saudi's eating the bulk of said cuts. If they break ranks and increase production...helloooo 30's, IMVHO anyway.

I haven't done a whole lot lately however I did go ahead and unload some of my bottom dweller (and other misc. lots) stuff for a tidy little profit. MCK, BMY, CC, CEPQ to name a few. I've had a decent run playing with good stocks that missed or whatever and tanked for not much reason, it's been fun. I do however have my elephant gun locked and loaded with my finger on the trigger. Well, OK, more like a red ryder model #1938 with a compass in the stock that shoots about 200' PS.

I'm not ballsy enough to short oil, especially the DWTI. Not yet anyway. I did start a small position in T and added a few in drips and drabs in some core holdings, but basically a fest.

Any other exciting things going on here?

Interest rate hikes wont be helping oil prices either.

I haven't been adding much new money the last 10 months or so. I've decided to be more aggressive at paying down my mortgage instead.

Not a bad idea at all my friend. We just consolidated some debt recently before any rate hikes and look to aggressively knock down what's left. I actually despise debt, I pretty much refuse to even have a car payment.

I'm not selling, (at least for the most part), but I'm not buying either. Prices are just too high for me right now.

I did go ahead and buy a few different Canadian cannabis stocks. I have 2 licensed providers; 1 up 20% since I bought the other down about the same. Along with those I got one company working on related medical things, and another that's sells vape supplies. The first 2 will probably do quite well over time, especially if Canada goes ahead and makes recreational use legal, as they are expected to do. The other 2 are long shots, but it's kind of fun to buy 1000 shares for less than $250, and who knows what they might do

My plan is for my wife to get a better job

She probably says her plan is for you to get a better job ! Bob

If I were still managing my own accounts, I'd be shorting some of the construction stocks that soared after the election. Trumps budget shows his talk about infrastructure rebuilding was just that, and the promised work is already built into the price.
I'd certainly short Smith and Wesson, and buy a Mexican market ETF on the dip.
Wouldn't touch the health segment just now, much too chaotic.
It's been a year since I quit doing my own research and I must say I don't miss it. If I never see another triple candle, I will survive.hn
