while everyone is pissed about Trump, how do we profit from the obvious Make White America Rich Again candidate and climate of bigotry and divisiness? Let's channel that anger into profits. Let's post companies that are negatively or positively are affected by Trump's win.

*What company endorsed him? What was the backlash.
*what cabinet pick owns what company and how and when will they profit?
*What trends are we missing that could put money in our pockets?

My first question is: which, if any, companies do you think will get a boost from Valentimes day and Mother's Day, seeing as they are all chocolate, flower, diamonds, teddy bears and greeting card holidays?

So far I'm considering
BBW (Build-a-Bear)
FLWS (800-flowers)
HSY (Hershey)
 
The Donald Trump Stock Portfolio: 15 Investments Bullish on President Trump

Bitcoin Investment Trust (GBTC)
Performance since Trump's election on November 8, 2016: 7.33%
The Bitcoin Investment Trust is a publicly-traded vehicle that invests in and derives value from Bitcoin.


United States Steel (X)
Performance since Trump's election on November 8, 2016: 60.97%
In April 2016, U.S. Steel filed a complaint with the International Trade Commission alleging Chinese steel producers conspired to fix prices, steal intellectual property and falsify import labels to avoid tariffs. S&P Capital argues Trump, who made trade reform with China a major plank of his platform, would help to expand revenues and profits in the industry with his efforts to penalize Chinese imports.

Steel Dynamics (STLD)
Performance since Trump's election on November 8, 2016: 25.83%
Steel Dynamics is a steel producing and metal recycling company based in Fort Wayne, Indiana. It and other mini-mill (secondary) steel producers would also see a boost from a tough-on-China Trump.

Tetra Tech (TTEK)
Performance since Trump's election on November 8, 2016: 9.16%
Tetra Tech is a provider of environmental engineering and consulting services headquartered in Pasadena, Calif. The company has been contracted to work on border fencing projects by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in the past, working on a barrier near San Diego. It might be in the running to continue work.

Randgold Resources (GOLD)
Performance Trump's election on November 8, 2016: -2.10%
Randgold Resources is a gold mining company based in Saint Helier, Jersey, one of the U.K.'s Channel Islands. In the White House, Trump might inject a significant amount of uncertainty and volatility into the markets. In such an event, investors may begin flocking to gold and related entities for stability.

Microsoft (MSFT)
Performance since Trump's election on November 8, 2016: 3.10%
Like a number of technology companies, Microsoft holds an enormous amount of money abroad it won't bring back because of U.S. tax rates. If Trump is elected, that may change, much to Microsoft's benefit.

The tech giant would save $28.1 billion on its tax bill if Trump is able to enact the 10% repatriation holiday he promised while campaigning, according to a recent analysis from the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy (ITEP). Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella attended Trump's tech roundtable in New York in December, and Chris Liddell, former chief financial officer at Microsoft, will serve as assistant to the president and director of strategic initiatives in the Trump administration.

Oracle (ORCL)
Performance since Trump's election on November 8, 2016: 0.31%
Oracle will save $9.5 billion on its tax bill under Trump's tax holiday, according to ITEP.
Its CEO, Safra Catz, attended Trump's tech roundtable and joined the executive committee of Trump's presidential transition team in December. Catz in January penned an op-ed in support of Steven Mnuchin, Trump's nominee for Treasury Secretary, and specifically cited tax reform.

Capital One Financial (COF)
Performance since Trump's election on November 8, 2016: 15.86%
Trump has put forth a detailed plan for financial regulation, but he has said he would likely dismantle Dodd-Frank, or do something close to it. The elimination of it and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau it created would benefit consumer lenders like Capital One, according to an analysis from S&P Capital IQ.

Lockheed Martin (LMT)
Performance since Trump's election on November 8, 2016: 7.41%
The Bethesda, Maryland-based firm was the U.S. government's biggest single contractor in 2015, garnering $36.2 billion in contracts from various agencies, including Defense, Homeland Security and Navy. Trump has pledged to build up the U.S. military and defense spending, which would likely be a boon to Lockheed and other heavy-equipment defense companies.
Like Boeing, Lockheed got caught in Trump's Twitter crosshairs after the election regarding the pricing of its F-35 fighter jet. CEO Marillyn Hewson has told Trump she will make a "personal commitment" to cutting costs. Lockheed has also sought to smooth things over by promising to add 1,800 jobs in the U.S.

Northrop Grumman (NOC)
Performance since Trump's election on November 8, 2016: 1.01%

Elbit Systems (ESLT)
Performance since Trump's election on November 8, 2016: -9.50%
Elbit Systems is an Israel-based company that builds defense electronic systems and integrated battle systems for air, sea, land and space.
Trump has largely held that his border wall will be a real wall, made of concrete, rebar and steel, but recently, Trump supporter and former Texas Governor Rick Perry suggested that wall may be "virtual" instead. Elbit Systems has already been enlisted to build a virtual wall at the Arizona border, in 2014 winning a $145 million contract from the Department of Homeland Security.

Boeing (BA)
Performance since Trump's election on November 8, 2016: 11.16%
Trump targeted Boeing soon after his election and the cost of its work on the presidential Air Force One plane. "Cancel order!" he wrote in a tweet. He and the aircraft giant have since made nice -- CEO Dennis Muilenberg said on Tuesday after a meeting with Trump that the pair have "made progress" on striking a deal.
Boeing might be enlisted for Trump's border wall, too. Before Elbit Systems was enlisted to build a virtual fence at the Mexican border with Arizona, Boeing was contracted for a similar virtual project in 2006. The project, known as SBI-Net, was cancelled in 2011 after $1 billion were already spent. Should Trump become president and his wall end up being more virtual than it is real, Boeing could get a second go.

Cemex (CX)
Performance since Trump's election on November 8, 2016: -7.67%
Cemex is a materials company that specializes in cement and concrete. Its products would come in handy for Trump's plans for the U.S.-Mexico border, where he has pledged to build a wall stretching at least 1,000 miles. Trump has pledged to force Mexico to pay for the wall -- eventually -- but now says the U.S. government will foot the bill first.

Exxon Mobil (XOM)
Performance since Trump's election on November 8, 2016: -0.84%
Trump has on numerous occasions on the campaign trail said a key part of his plans to defeat ISIS is by taking its wealth -- specifically, its oil. And he knows exactly who he would give it to. "Take back the oil. Once you go over and take back that oil, they have nothing. You bomb the hell out of them, and then you encircle it, and then you go in. And you let [Exxon Mobil] go in," he told conservative pundit Bill O'Reilly last year.




 
Loving the feedback. I was tracking Steel (X) around $28 and didn't jump. I'll consider getting in now.

Another stock to watch right now is a stock called TASR. They make the surveillance equipment for borders and body cameras for cops and military. Trump is pro cop, but I feel cops will get emboldened and shoot or abuse more people and give cities no choice but to force cops to wear them.

The hoarding of guns has softened so let gun stocks settle or pullback. And it's not just gun stocks, places that sell guns like Cabellos and those redneck hunting stores. They will pullback.
 
CX is a damn good stock. They make cement under different names. Concrete and Steel (X) will be huge is the talk of a wall even begins. Aluminum as well. And, if the wall ever breaks ground, the flow of illegals will stop, and the rumor is private prison chain gangs will make a comeback so look into private owned prisons. That's how they will build the wall for cheap-slave labor.
 
Been trying to put my foot in the stock investment but I still feel like I need to educate myself more.

You do. The first step is reconciling loss. Prepare for that. Then I'm the beginning only invest in what you know. I'm a car nut, so i trade auto sector stocks. I'm a shoe nut so I have owned DSW, NIKE, Finish Line, etc. once you understand the fundementals, the most important thing to do is make sure you personal 401k is on point and divisified. If you work at a company where all your 401k is their stocks, consult with a financial planner on how to divisify.

Investopedia.com is a great place to read and reference. Go there first. Then, there is Morning Star and Seeking Alpha to learn and see what others think and do. Don't trust everything you read, but focus on WHY they wrote what was written.
 
Dividend paying stocks + dollar cost averaging. Just ride out the next few years and observe what's happening until I figure it out.

Smart. Companies aren't going anywhere. Take profits off the top by shaving shares and try not to sell unless dire.
 
I want to pick a theme and stick to that topic for the life of the it. If someone has a question or suggestion, we answer it, post links that back up or explain so that we all learn. Trump stocks should be our first major topic. Any info or ideas, drop em here. No shaming. There are no dumb questions. Ask.
 
bEWARE the Trump bubble....proceed with caution..is the rally based on something he said or something that can actually be done. Be ready to pull back as soon as "they" realize it was all bullshit and Obama had America doing relatively great already.

Starting point is starting with credit card debt. Get rid of it. Car loan should be small or zero. 401k maxed yearly. Monltht installments into 401k buys shares at different prices.

Next, read, study, listen.
Next, create a list of companies you know well or use. Track them with an app like CNBC or yahoo app. There are others.
Next, watch and listen to show and podcasts on getting in, not making money.
Someone else will tag in.
 
This is true. It's gonna be up and down. Retail is shit. Only day trade retail. Too risky. Malls are dying to stores that anchor malls are fucked. Online retail is in. I bought Etsy at $5 months ago. I'm hanging on. Fuck eBay.

I'm tracking overstock.com. Haven't got in yet. Needs to go lower or do more advertising. Right now it's word of mouth.

So, as you can see from the marching and other backlash, Trump has shit the bed. And that press conference to bitch about Crowd size shows the hoe in him. As someone already stated, a Trump bubble is afoot.

That said, his people are positioning themselves to trade off his tweets. But it's a flash in the pan trade unless it's a company you've been wanting to get in on for a while. I personally think more racist people are going to buy American under Trump for the 12-18 months he make it. I expect Ford and Chysler/Dodge to pull back in the coming months to under $10. I'm waiting on a recall for some safety issue, or an announcement of some kind for a shot dip in the stock value. Personally, I plan to hold them once I get in, barring some crazy run where I double the money in weeks or months, them I would sell.
 
Because I'm still learning a lot, I'll discuss what stocks I buy or track and why.

This first thing I do, I account for everything I buy. The bank I use or has my mortgage or student loans. The clothing I buy. The utility companies I pay monthly, my credit card company, etc. where you spend your money is the first place you consider trading on.

Second, I look at what gets on my fucking nerves. People are sheep and make you feel like you are wrong for not jumping on bandwagons. Now I track the company. I bought Lululemon few years ago because every hoe wore yoga pants. That stock has doubled to over $60 a share. Rappers talk about some shit vodka, wine or overpriced shoes, I look at the company that bottles or even the place the liquor or items are sold. Losers will show you where the vices are.

Lastly, what I personally afford to buy into? So if Nike is $70 a share, I will consider what other avenues I can take. Nike overpays athletes and can't really get past the Jordan brand. Nothing new has come of them. So, when I see on the news that heads is fighting outside of a footlocker over the new J's I look at footlocker or finish line stocks. If Nike is $70, but finish line is under $20, I can still make money off of Nike signing Some athlete to a trillion dollar deal. Apply that to any product.
 
fake hoes, real profit. Whackest hoes spend the most to be fool us visually. These hoes shop, wear too much makeup and those god awful weaves. That's why I've had my eye on Sally Beauty Supply (SBH). Not the strongest company, but it ain't going nowhere because women love wigs and weaves. Strippers, Instagram hoes, real hoes and hood rats keep Koreans in business. They buy weave. Need to maintain weaves. New to trade-in weaves. This is one of my 2017 stocks to wait for a dip and possible creep on into. Sometimes the money is in the hatred of something. You have to see all angles. Just because it's not for you don't mean money can't be made.
 
So Trump plans to lower taxes for businesses that keep factories here or bring back money from overseas. However, he wants to tax any product made overseas and sold here. So what does that mean? Major corporations are going to pay more for items that they must turnaround and sell to you for more due to the import taxes. So how do you invest?

Since major retail is sinking fast, big box stores like Macy's, Nordstrom, Gap, etc; they all buy their clothes and such from china and elsewhere. All the high end purse and shoes companies will all have to pay more for each item shipped em. That cuts into their profit margin unless they pass that cost onto you.

How I plan to play it is trade stocks that don't have to pay the tax. Companies like Ross, TJmaxx, Big Lots, etc; they all buy wholes from these bigger stores leftover inventory. All that shit in Marshalls and Ross were clothes that Jpenny, Macy's and Dillard's couldn't sell. Last years fashion. The taxes were already paid on those goods by the bigger stores so Tjmaxx and other stores don't incur that cost.

Other companies like software and such don't sell anything tangible. Cloud storage, online gaming, etc. Everything Nike makes comes from overseas. Their stock will take a hit in the beginning so if you wanted to own Nike stock, wait it do dip and get in under $50. The smarter play, again are stores that carry Nike items and shoes like DSW, Jcpenny, etc. DSW stock is way down so I anticipate a boost because they don't prefer direct from Nike, Reebok and others, they purchase the leftover and out of style joints from last season.
 
Bought to flood this thread with questions. Hopefully everyone can post answer and insight to help all of us open our heads to financial progress. I'm looking to invest in many things going forward. Anyone else with a question should drop it here.

I noticed a huge thread on drones and another one on iPhone and other game apps. Im not into either, but what games or apps are making the best games for phones? Who makes the best or the worst drones, or the most affordable ones?
 
Where does your wife or girlfriend work, and it is a publicly traded company? what is their stock worth today? Same question for you and where you work?
 
Who has your student loans? What bank has your mortgage or car loan, and what are you gripes, or pros about the company. My loan is Wells Fargo. They are a shit bank, crooked, but do the most mortgages and funnel most of their loans through Fannie Mae. I didn't buy Well Fargo stock, i bought Fannie Mae back in August when it was under $1.
 
Where is a place you swear you will never give those motherfuckers another dime of your money? What is their stock worth? I bought Sally's Beauty Supply stock last year around $20 when i started noticing that, even if they kick our ass and disrespect us, we still shop there. I fucking HATE weave and lakefronts, but females buy the shit buy the ton, so i own the stock. It aint doing shit, but it only dips to around $18 or goes up to $24. My stop loss is $17.
 
Rumor is Blackberry is going to ditch the entire mobile phone platform altogether and go to smart car, self-driving car R&D. Stock jumped from $7 to $9 this week. And we used to make fun of people with em. Gotta peal the onion.
 
Any of you who live near rednecks or in predominantly white towns, or drive through rural areas. Whats the name of the stores there and restaurants, and truck stops. Are they crowded, making money, what do they sell other than gas and trucker hats? I mentioned in another thread about how shit stores like Kmart and Sears stay open and will survive the crash before the high end boutiques stores will. Dirty, broke, racist people only think one way. They only drink the same beers, wear the same clothes, and eat the same food. open your eyes and post what you see in this thread.
