With Google's potential/imminent return to China with a partnership, does this mean an expanded relationship with JD? SOGO? or? Meanwhile, after a decent earnings report by BIDU and trading up after hours yesterday, today it opens down and might be doing a slow bleed toward its 200 dma

SOGO

Is there room for two players in the search field in China? Will AI lead the way for SOGO to do battle with BIDU?

Aside from Google, what's our alternative stateside, BING? What happened to Infoseek, lycos, excite, Yahoo...? Will SOGO slowly disappear over time as an afterthought?

Right now, SOGO may be legging up after its recent ramp up. Let's see what happens after pivoting at 10 range...

bobby is sleepless in seattle — 6/8/2018 1:09:53 PM

It's been many years since visiting TSRR! I've continued to swing trade over the years with moderate success. However, my best plays have been buy and hold. BA, APPL, MSFT, have been wonderful to the bottom line. It took nearly 10 years for MSFT to make a move but hey, patience is a virtue!

New entries into the buy/hold foray resembles China! BABA and JD are two I've held for around a couple years. New entries for swing trades maybe turning into long term holds are IQ and BSTI. IQ has been a rocket ship while Best has been puttering along. Fun swing trades have been YY and WB.

IQ...I've been waiting to add positions on pullbacks as I have standing orders at 27.75, 28.50, and 28.90 all of which will be canceled today and reassess to maybe buy more on a pullback in the 30-31 range...

Lots of opportunities and sure all of us who've held have benefited on to the bullet train ride up since Trump took office, no politics, lol!

Halliburton surges on share buyback, guilty plea

Shares of Halliburton Co. /quotes/zigman/228631 /quotes/nls/hal HAL +3.73% rose nearly 4% in early trading Friday after news it pleaded guilty to destroying evidence in the Gulf of Mexico’s Deepwater Horizon disaster, and the oilfield services company readied a $3.3 billion share buyback.

Halliburton will pay $200,000 for the misdemeanor related to the 2010 blowout, which killed 11 workers and triggered the worst offshore oil spill in U.S. history.

Insight: U.S. taxpayers poised to subsidize Asian coal demand

By Patrick Rucker

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Asian economies, hungry for coal, stand to gain from a U.S. program meant to keep domestic power cheap and abundant.

At issue is how much miners pay the government to tap the coal-rich Powder River Basin in eastern Montana and Wyoming. Much of the basin is on federal land.

America could be ‘taken over,’ warns Ross Perot

Former presidential contender and billionaire Ross Perot is worried that America is a sitting duck for an unnamed foreign invader. In an interview for his new autobiography, Perot said the nation's weak economy has left us open for a hostile takeover—and neither presidential candidate is the man to save the country.

Looking at today's values from stockcharts.com, freestockcharts.com and here on SF, the system will signal a move to go long on SSO at the end of the day (assuming no massive drop that would keep the current SDS trade going).

Repectfully disagree at this date and time.

SSO appears headed for a short term loss.

I'm just glad to be on the sidelines watching it all.

I'm waiting for them to replace the analysts with videos of puppies and kittens as they reassure us that everything is fine.

Remain calm, all is well.

Sorry Nok, but the last time I saw the pom poms Baldy had 'em. I might need to invest in another pair, huh?

It might take a while, but it looks like we'll get a chance to pick up some old favorites again at lower prices. Lather, rinse, repeat. All it takes is a little patience.

I hope life is treating you well.
