看看今天的股市吧，以色列那边打起来了，油价涨到78刀一桶。。。前几天伊朗、北朝鲜的武器测试。。。别的什么公司盈利亏损不说，就这市场上的新闻，真的是一点点动静能吵醒整个neighborhood一般。

我没有什么特别的想法，还是xyin和评股论金对股市颇有了解。我只想说的是现在市场走向紧跟国际动荡，现在夏天busy driving season，原油价格短期不会下浮，还有其它一些因素(如下)，股市肯定会又波又动。

以下是引用tetrahedral在2006-7-13 22:34:00的发言：
俺买的bond惨不忍睹呀！

bond 也不好？ 我还以为股市不好， bond会好些呢。 tetrahedral 你为什么买bond呢？ bond怎么买呢？ 我没买过， 有些好奇。

夏天的股市一般总是不太好， 但好像今年的特糟， 房市也开始不好了， 在加上inflation,  美国会不会像日本那样， 10几年在底部徘徊？

refer to my previous post, i started to build positions in GLD, SLV and TIE since end of june. since then GLD and SLV gave me very good returns. altho TIE took a big dump recently, I added more today and yesterday 26, 24.

I am very patiently build my positions. Altho when I posted last time end of June, I thought there maybe a better buying opportunities in august, I think because of the war, this opportunities maybe already presented itself to us. However, the war situation is not very clear. altho i am very tempted to buy more, i know i should be patient. If a few months later, this did become one of the best buying opportunitie of the year, I would not feel regret to miss to load fully up here.

I am not paying too much attention to the overall market any more. so can't speak for other stocks. I have very limtied time, I will only trade the ones I have researched and keeping my eyes on the ongoing progress.

Happy investing and trading.
