Twitter's new king Elon Musk dished out some stock-buying tips to his 89 million followers on his social media platform, telling them to 'buy stock in companies that you believe in,' and then took a jab at passive investing by big institutions as the market teeters. The Tesla CEO, who paid $44 billion for Twitter last week, tweeted early Sunday: 'Buy stock in several companies that make products and services that you believe in.' 'Only sell if you think their products and services are trending worse. Don't panic when the market does. This will serve you well in the long-term,' he added,

I didn't, and lost 10% of my retirement in a couple months. $13,000 more over the weekend before my changes were posted. Had I stayed in, I'd have lost another 20k after that. I wish I'd panicked in December.

H. Ross Perot did pretty well using a similar philosophy. I tried, and didn't do so well. Anyone want to buy some shares of Jones and Laughlin Steel Corporation? Dirt cheap?

Never sell when the market drops unless absolutely necessary. I did nothing during the panic of 2008 and my investments came back and have now more than doubled. Also, if you have a 401K plan at work, contribute on a regular basis. That way, you will buy when the market is down and benefit when it comes back.

While everyone was screaming to sell your Disney shares, I bought a few more. Buy low, sell high, right?

Thanks for the advice, Elon Musk. I am certain there are a lot of people jumping on your bandwagon but I am very cautious. I get you are trying to paint yourself as down the center when saying you don't like the extreme left or the extreme right. I am skeptical when you say that you supported Barack Obama and now I find out on other websites that Mike Lindell got back on Twitter only to be kicked off again. I appreciate what you are trying to do but power can also go to someone's head. Just look at government. . . Sorry but I will turn to God and my prayers for my daily living. . .

Re #3 - the key is "good stocks". You should know a lot about the company's market that they are in, and how well run the company is. I have made up to 100% returns in a year buying GOOD companies on a downturn. I purchased Wyndham Hotels (WH), Sysco Food (SYY), USFoods (USFD) and TRowe (TROW) stocks in early April of 2020, and sold them off in the next 12-18 months. They were driven sharply down by the "market crash" caused by Wuhan virus and the shutdowns of restaurants and travel restrictions. These were companies that I knew were leaders in their industries and had solid financials. Sysco went from about $40 to over $80 a share. USFoods was bought at about $15, sold for upper $30 range, about $35-37, IIRC. Wyndham Hotels was bought at about $29-30, sold for around $80, that was my best pick, more than doubled. TRowe was purchased for about $99, sold for about $125....this was my broker's suggestion, and the worst of the bunch, but a 25% gain in a year is still quite nice. I was selecting stocks which were solid companies but which were beaten down by the Wuhan flu problems messing up the restaurant and travel hotel markets. Those were all some of my best returns in years, as I rarely purchase individual stocks these days, preferring to let my mutual funds slowly and smoothly increase my retirement. But the Wuhan flu "crash" was clearly, at least to me, a golden opportunity that I couldn't resist. I earned more than a year's gross salary (before I retired) in that 12-18 month time frame by picking good companies who were beaten down by external events that wouldn't be permanent. Buying good companies when they are 'on sale' can be a great investing strategy. Must be certain that the company is sound, and their industry is not on a long term decline.

Leaker of Alito’s draft opinion could

Whoever leaked Justice Samuel Alito’s draft opinion in a crucial abortion-rights case violated a key tenet of the Supreme Court — and might even have committed a crime, legal experts said Tuesday.“It is a core, central principle of working there to keep everything confidential,” said Washington, DC, lawyer Bill Burck, a former federal prosecutor who clerked for former Justice Anthony Kennedy..If the leaker is a clerk — or even one of the court’s nine justices — “it’s hard to see how a crime was committed” because the document isn’t classified and they’d have a right to possess it, Burck said.

As the fallout over the dramatic alleged Supreme Court leak to Politico continues, takes are coming in from every angle, and commentator Mark Levin hasn’t missed out on an opportunity to weigh in either.Speaking on “Fox & Friends” on Tuesday, Levin attacked the leak itself as a “grave assault” on the integrity of the institution of the Supreme Court of the United States. There’s been speculation that the leak was intended to intimidate justices planning on overturning Roe v. Wade (1973), though as of writing there’s no proof as to who the culprit is (but plenty of speculation), or even if the leak is legitimate.

President Joe Biden wandered off script and into the abortion debate Tuesday, referring to the right to “abort a child,” in a mangled message that had staffers rushing in to whisk him away.Critics seized on the decidedly off-message word choice, delivered as the president spoke to reporters at Joint Base Andrews in Camp Springs, Maryland, Tuesday morning. The gaffe came a day after Politico published a leaked draft of an upcoming Supreme Court decision that, if delivered, would overturn the landmark 1973 Roe v.

The population of California continues to shrink, as residents flee the state's high cost of living and rising crime. California's population declined again in 2021 for the second consecutive year, state officials said Monday, the result of a slowdown in births and immigration coupled with an increase in deaths and people leaving the state. Critics point to the steady stream of people leaving California as an indictment on the state's policies, which are set by Governor Gavin Newsom and his fellow Democrats in the state legislature. About 280,000 more people left California for other states than moved here in 2021, continuing a decades-long trend.

Kate Brown signed HR 3294, which requires K-12 public schools and universities to stock bathrooms with tampons and sanitary pads at no cost to students to give them the “opportunity for safe, dignified self-care.”

Following the unprecedented leak of a Supreme Court initial majority draft opinion to undo Roe v. Wade huge controversies begin to surface! The document, first obtained by Politico, outlined the potential demise of the landmark 1973 ruling. The revelation sent shockwaves across the nation. Protesters gathered at the fenced-off Supreme Court in Washington, D.C. on Monday night. The leak is likely the product of an ideologically leftist law clerk seeking either to halt a nixing of the abortion ban or to engender support for court-packing, Alan Dershowitz told Fox News.

In a shocking development that is unfolding even as we write, someone has leaked information that SCOTUS may be preparing to overturn Roe v. Wade. A leak like this is unprecedented, and some have surmised that it may well be a last-ditch effort for Democrats to motivate their base. Not such a crazy notion, as Monday night brought word that Democrats from across the country have already been calling for the elimination of the filibuster to help them protect the most sacred tenant of their faith – abortion.
