Yup, I like the business model of AEOCredit & in fact I did talk to many motorcycle shop owners. The business model for selling new & used motorcycles had changed following the up & running of AeoCredit.
But I did not get any of its shares because I expect it will drop more, but it never happened & the business is proved too good to get going even at this kind of economic situation.
HI JOHN, I am NOW THINKING, how to SHORT the MARKET! Next 12 months, I guess, if FED decided to reduce book after hike interest, it will kill first property mkt, then financial mkt, then crisis evolve.
“We’re focusing on autonomous systems,” Cook said in a June 5 interview on Bloomberg Television that amounted to his most detailed comments yet on Apple’s automotive plans. “It’s a core technology that we view as very important.” He likened the effort to “the mother of all AI projects,” saying it’s “probably one of the most difficult AI projects to work on.”
Apple knows it can't go it alone in cars. It takes a village to make an iCar. If Apple winds up making the underlying software and systems for driverless cars, it most likely needs a coalition to bring them to life. Apple must work with automakers, car parts makers and regulators. It needs cooperation among disparate Apple product groups and it needs to win over the driving public. To do all of that, it’s helpful to say out loud what you're working on.
Apple wants credit for innovation. Cook in another recent interview said Apple didn't get enough credit for its role in artificial intelligence, one of the cornerstone technologies of self-driving cars, because the company doesn’t talk about its plans for the future. Cook said Apple doesn't "sell futures" as other companies do. Then in the Bloomberg interview he ... dabbled in future selling.
WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) — The Federal Reserve could trigger a long-awaited move to reduce its massive $4.5 trillion in debt holdings as early as September, but the central bank still appeared unsettled on the timing of its strategy to reduce the scope of its support for the U.S. economy.
The Fed said last month it would begin to whittle down its hoard of Treasury bonds and mortgage-backed securities some time this year. At a gathering of senior bank officials, “several preferred to announce the start of the process within a couple of months,” according to minutes of the June 13-14 Federal Open Market Committee meeting released Wednesday.
Yet others wanted to hold off for now, especially after a puzzling slowdown in inflation, and the Fed left open the possibility it could wait until the fall.
“The Fed is divided over the timing of the balance sheet run down and why inflation is where it is,” said Luke Bartholomew, investment strategist at Aberdeen Asset Management Investment. “These were the two big areas that investors wanted insight into and they’re going to be none the wiser.”
Wall Street could get fresh clues on Friday when the Fed releases Chairwoman Janet Yellen’s prepared testimony ahead of her regular appearance next week in Congress.
In late Wednesday trades, investors appeared nonplussed. The Nasdaq Composite COMP, -1.00% and S&P 500 SPX, -0.94% held onto small gains while the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, -0.74% remained down slightly.
Read: Highlights from Fed’s June vote to raise interest rates
The central bank bought trillions in bond holdings in the aftermath of the Great Recession to lower interest rates and help prop up the economy, vastly expanding its balance sheet to record levels.
Now the bank wants to gradually withdraw the stimulus as the economy, entering its ninth year of expansion, returns closer to normal. In June, the Fed raised a key interest rate tied to the cost of borrowing for the second time this year.
The central bank is on track to raise its benchmark short-term rate once more in 2017 to as high as 1.5%.
Part of the Fed’s push to tighten monetary policy also reflects more anxiety over inflation. Prices rose sharply toward the end of 2016 and into early 2017 before receding in the past few months.
Most Fed officials are convinced the lull in inflation is only temporary, the result of onetime influences that will soon fade. But there did appear to be more disagreement about when and how rapidly price pressures will re-emerge.
Still, the Fed predicts annual inflation resume its upward climb and settle near the central bank’s 2% target within the next year or so. Inflation is now running at a 1.7% annual pace.
In their most recent discussion, Fed officials pointed to a rebound in economic growth since the first quarter, led by a recovery in business investment and steady consumer spending. They also saw global economic growth as on the mend and posing less of a threat to the U.S. expansion.
The subdued effect of a tight labor market on wages, however, left the central bank divided over how far to let the unemployment rate fall. The unemployment rate fell in May to 4.3% to mark the lowest jobless level in 16 years.
Some bank officials note that wages and benefits for workers are only rising moderately despite a growing scarcity of skilled workers for hire. They suggest the unemployment rate can go lower still without igniting inflation.
Others are more worried that inflation could “reemerge” if unemployment continues to decline, forcing the Fed to jack up interest rates quickly and potentially slam the breaks on the U.S. economy.
Fed officials were also puzzled about the recent runup in stock-market prices and persistently low interest rates despite tighter monetary policy. Investors might be more willing to tolerate risk, an outcome that could “lead to a buildup” toward further financial instability, some Fed officials argued.

People will always act like they have a crystal ball on the forums. The herd will always buy or sell in droves, because people feel safer in numbers. In fact, the biggest deciding factor for the average retail/"unsophisticated" investor on whether to buy or sell is whether other people are also buying or selling. Really, just cut out all that noise. If you want something, and you believe in its value, act rationally -- buy when the price drops, buy when it's on discount. If a $1 million house you liked suddenly listed for $500,000, you'd probably rush to buy it. So why wouldn't you do that with a stock or cryptocurrency?
10. Buy and hodl isn't always the best strategy. It's pretty clear that I'm a religious "buy and hodl" guy, but it's not always the wisest thing to do. At best, you're incurring huge opportunity costs by tying up your capital in a stagnant asset that has done much of its growing instead of cashing out and putting it in an emerging asset that still has its best days ahead of it. At worst, its fundamentals may be declining while you're way too busy enjoying life in total complacency, because it has already made you so much paper profit, and you figure nothing could go wrong anymore. Always remember, the whole bunch of investors during the dot-com boom also bought and hedl... all the way to zero. And don't get me started on the innumerable pump-and-dump schemes with investors stubbornly just holding on, hoping and praying that the price goes up again so that they can at least recoup their capital. It pretty much never happens. Don't be them. Buy and hold, yes, but be smart about it.

if we invest based on what we already know, but not yet reflected in mkt price, now. Based on Crack Spread, Latest crack spread is around 16.40 for September, compared to 5-8 in Q1-Q2 2017, and compared to 10-12 during July-August.
Rebar in CHINA is shooting up to SKY ROOF! Steel stocks yet to rally second round, some move slowly up but not peak like STEEL PRICE yet
haha, raider bro, I was thinking defensive last yr end, thinking crash coming, but it never happen. I go a bit defensive actually. thts why very underperforming....
Below were back track during 2017. If we follow formula, picking good ROE stocks with proven track record in 10 years, how are we now? You see, I have HARTA, TOPGLOV. It depends on your cost, my guess is if your bought was 2017 or prior, pretty close to the cost?
But if you are emotional and bought during peak, its still near 80% loss on capital.
Here are some selected companies with high ROE > 15% and profitable over the last 10 years. (The actual list has 52 stocks)
