Investment & Finance Thread (Mar. 23 edition)

This is the thread where folks swap ideas on savings and investment --here's a list of popular investing links that freepers have posted here. 

We usually see this showing up on Monday mornings w/ a ping to freeper investors, but it seems the write up is being done on Sunday night anyway so starting now it's being shared as it comes out.     Open invitation continues always for input on ideas for the thread, this being a joint effort works well. Keywords: financial, WallStreet, stockmarket.

Tomorrow morning of course we'll still have our --and the futures market update --so let me know if anyone wants on or off this ping.  

======================

Last week's thread began wondering if stocks were going into the bigger drop like we had back around the beginning of Feb., but instead the drop happened with metals and stocks leveled up.

OK, so this is when the guy on the radio says "past performance is no guarantee of future returns" --that and you've been following  IBD TV (free to non-subscribers) the market pulse is still 'market under pressure'.

Thank you for sharing! I’m still skittish after the 2008 thing. But a few months ago we put more into the market and things have gone up!

This might be an interesting book. I’m kind of ambivalent about high frequency trading largely because I don’t understand it.

Fantastic piece just on 60 Minutes on this book. Fascinating.

Also had an interview/piece on Elon Musk of Tesla and SpaceX. Outstanding.

Thanks for the heads up. Just set the timer on tv.
