12/04/2017 the markets are up already so very much this year that it is time to be selling to take profits rather than to be buying at these prices. The quite time of the year starts 12/15/2017 for end of the year inactivity. Ultra long term stocks would include Dis (Disney). Or try HIMX at a lower price. Stocks will be up today. Best to have bought last Friday. Not today which is Monday. Some people like AMD at less than 11.0 or SHOP at less than 104.00 per share. Buyer beware. It is not just at what price you buy. It is how long you hold and at what price you sell. Sometimes it is best to sell the day before the earnings report. Buy before the rumor which sends the price higher and sell before the news which sends the price lower.

We are at market highs in many sectors. Buying high and selling low is not a good investment strategy. Some would say wait for the correction before getting in. I would say that is not bad advice.

Yea sure if your an individual stock buyer which most avg Joes aint as its a loosing proposition.
Better for them to go to the Casino.

The avg slob doesnt need more than 3 or 4 quality index funds to meet their needs.
As soon as one is suggested much more its time to move on because that “Broker” is lining their pockets with those fees.
