Any thoughts on foreign indexes long term? Was thinking India before I saw this chart. I wonder if the Dax, NKY or some others in the red might be a more interesting choice.

You guys laughed at me when I said lithium a while back. Got into orrp at $1.10 and it's up to ~1.75, not bad. A few others have been slower rising but didn't cost much so what the heck.

I'm long lots of international. Australia, Canada, Emerging (small), International Growth. Hasn't been great. I like Australia and Canada because they are safe livable countries; that's my theme. The dividend used to be good in Australia but has gone down. European multinationals are cheaper than US mulitnationals and they basically do the same thing. global commerce.

I try to avoid 50% equity swings.

DD left in the dust on TWTR. Better luck next time.

Still adding to Glencore on its occasional dives. Avg cost 3.48...not bad!

GLNCY and CS are the 1-2 holdings in my fund. Been ok lately.

GLNCY just broke above its breakdown gap on the weekly.

twitter is gonna be govt utility soon

shit is gonna go up 5x

**neufox47** · 07-14-2016, 09:41 AM

When does the crash start? November 1?

**Brock Landers** · 07-14-2016, 09:56 AM

if a 2% move in Twitter causes a buy/sell decision...prob not the right stock to trade around.

I own Twitter for what it hopefully can do in the next 5 years, but there's certainly risk. If the range for price in 5 years is 0-60...2% move today doesn't matter. Shit it could drop 5% tomorrow pretty easily.

Side question- is this Bayer/Monsanto deal going through? Huge spread that's awfully juicy but I haven't been following at all

**iceman** · 07-14-2016, 10:08 AM

I randomly met a Bayer medical sales rep yesterday who said it's a done deal but could be she was clueless.

**digitaldeath** · 07-14-2016, 10:09 AM

thanks Brock

you in the know

Was she hot?

Good-looking older lady (i.e. my exact age) at the bar sipping a martini. Melissa. I left her in the charge of the doctor sitting on the other side of her, he seemed to want her more.

I've never met a pharmaceutical rep that wasn't hot... Such a weird coincidence?!

As someone with a somewhat checkered past, I can confirm that this is absolutely the case, but I don't know that a lot of them stayed in that line of business for long. I'd be amazed to find a 35+ rep, but I've been away from that world for a while now...
