Agree... energy and materials been lagging.  Same goes for Gold and Silver. 

Alright,... I am more into trusts and REITs wgich provide income. Currentluy in energy, finance, healthcare and consumer goods sectors. All doing well in terms of cap gain(good margin-of-safety) except for the energy trust. The energy trust suffered pricing-wise, but still giving out an acceptable yield, ie still giving out DPU.. am thnking hard of averaging down further, but still cant decide on the entry price yet.

Guys,... when the Iran sanctions are lifted, there will be more supply of crude into the world mkts. MOre supply,... can go below USD50 per bbl ? 

I think what's going to happen is when the actual rate is raised, Dollar will drop, commodities like gold, oil, copper will reverse course. 

Looks like Morgan Stanley just top their estimates and with Apple reporting tomorrow and the recent case with Google and Netflix topping the charts, looks like the earnings report is just the beginning.

By the way, any suggestion if the SPY is a perfect indicator for how the market will react at the open?

oh if you plan to take profit on rate hike syndrome, you should start selling now since the drop could be fast as the rally been fast. 

Because there was this one time that I always suggest to follow SPY as the opening indicator than futures and one of the mentioned it is unreliable but I find it the most accurate indicator of all.

Found some of the US REITs that come with 10%+ div.... i also concern about the tax of 30% (non us citizen).... maybe buy in huge batch and hold for long term.... ? Please advice on this Sifu 

I'm still holding the new batch (aapl)... just wish I went all in last week.. but heck, can't be greedy right. 

what is your wish？ good fruit or bad fruit results? 

crazy bear in fruit after market...hohoho.....

GPRO surged more than 6% from the its 11am low. Anyone who did that is definitely lucky.

WTF.. oh frack..who shook the apple tree? 

Crude still hanging on to $50 so far.. but the floor shaky.. 

oil may retest previous low....not looking good for short term.

Waah.. you're super bearish.  

Oil at 40'sh is like in 2009.. during recession.  But, heck, where's recession now?
Everyone happy go lucky.

Hey.. whatca know. The fruit is at good support here at 125 after so called wall street "disappointment" about their outlook.

Apple is also seeking to return more of its growing cash hoard to investors. In April, the company unveiled plans to boost capital return program by $70 billion, increasing a share-buyback authorization by $50 billion and increasing dividends by 11 percent. At the end of June quarter, the company had returned $126 billion of its $200 billion program, including $90 billion in share repurchases, Chief Financial officer Luca Maestri told analysts on Tuesday.

Not just AAPL, lots of other companies (INTC, WFC, XOM, GILD)  are doing this to pump up their EPS.
I think buy back won't stop because they got tons of cash and no where to go.
Eventually, price will improve because of the reduction of shares in market and earnings continue to improve.
Maybe even more volatile too.
