Thread: Birchtree's Account Talk

I'm prepared to take ANRZ as a tax loss carry forward if necessary - but I'm not giving up yet. I wish the Donald would go after the over reaching EPA for the serious damage they have created in the coal patch and the loss of all those jobs. You just can't run this country on wind mills and solar panels that are only 47 % effective. We should be able to export all the coal that is dugup. So I'll take my hits and move forward - this rally has many more years to run and having some tax loss carry forward is a small blessing. I'm still buying energy stocks even though I seem to be on the wrong side - but that's what contrarian investors do. I'm even buying gold and silver stocks for the wife's IRA primarily for the income stream. I'm debating about selling my SIG to raise more cash to continue buying all those cheap energy stocks - the frackers are really golden if one has the courage to step up.

Hi Birch. Never mind the rest of what I was going to post about renewable energy. Wrong place, wrong time. Your thoughts are actually being vocalized in some government places.

I am planning on retiring in a couple years. How long should I be strong about staying the course in equities? Like this week, the week my payroll contribution goes in to C fund. "Bought" some more C on Monday and lost the contribution plus some during the week.

I have had discussion with the two kids so they know I will try but inheritance is not a priority. Probably why they don't email a lot?

Keep on keeping on.

PO

You OK, Birchtree? You're usually here giving the nervous bulls some encouragement on weeks / days like this.

Hope you're just having some fun this summer.

i read that mr. carter is in the hospital with cancer that has spread to his brain, maybe birch is taking some time off to visit his old buddy and ease his transition to whatever comes next?

Wow that was a pretty $h!tty thing to say.

Car 54 where are you?

I know I'm not bailing, selling right after a correction is a great way to lock in losses

Is birch a personal acquaintance of Mr Peanut?

I would not think their politics are compatible
