do you all experiencing some problems with finance.yahoo.com these few days (inclusive right now)? only displaying 3 news titles, and incomplete stock informations etc

yes bro. my watchlist was completely blank! damn frustrating.

yes, yahoo finance not showing correct lately.

better use google finance.

thanks for the inform guys!

yahoo finance looks ok now...

mine is still blank. huh!!!

check again... it's good.

mine still not ok wor...

still blank. i give up for now. bad bad yahoo

using AVFan's recommended google finance....no choice....mainly want to read news and see price....

me lazy to set up my watchlists all over again. i will wait and hope

that is strange...

i have it working good all night tonight.

using google finance now....not bad also....

this year hardly any meaningful correction.
every time slight pullback follow by strong rebound....
my cash now increased to 24%....nowhere to put money on...

Why keeping cash when bull market lasted for the past 9 years? Even the Sell in May / summer and go away trading adage this year also not happening too..

Banks, insurance and TECH will be usual pickup industries to watch closely during bull market..

being too conservative...

E.g
Year 2009
40% - Equity 30% - Bond 30% - Cash

Year 2011
50% - Equity 25% - Bond 25% - Cash

Year 2013
60% - Equity 20% - Bond 20% - Cash

Year 2016
70% - Equty 20% - Bond 10% - Cash

Early 2nd Half 2018
What is yr strategy ?

oh....i think 5 years ago i got about 10% in bond, 10% in FD, 5% cash daily use, the rest all in stock.
but about 3 years ago, i sold all bond and FD and put them all into stock because i have been optimistic on healthy recovery of world economy, which would move interest rate upwards (that could hurt bond). And the 5% cash for daily use still remains.

for now, from the 95% on stock, 24% of it are cash since i sold stocks as market rally. my cash level moves from 5%-25% range, so right now consider to hit the upper level. Time to buy some "cheaper" stocks (if i couldn't find any real cheap ones).

It is difficult to find cheaper ones now except retail stocks (the brick and mortar ones) but they're big warning signs.
The big FANG stocks continue to work. Other than that, for long term, just ride the general index and buy dips until it doesn't work.

So far this year, it's working. 4 times, it touches the 50ma, 4 times it get bought and it gets back to all time highs again.
