Revision History For: Kirk's Market Thoughts

Return to Kirk's Market Thoughts

==> My Facebook " Investing for the Long Term" group with 3,608 members as of 6/2/21.

This is my Silicon Investor board where I will post charts, ideas, rambling, newspaper clippings, etc. that are investment related (stock market, housing market and US economy.)

4/14/21: Nice article in Barron's this weekend about one of my top holdings, II-VI. Message 33281520

Time Conversion: Times are EST Message 33167578

Note how "the media" and Cramer still are not talking about IIVI even after a triple off its recent low. Glad I made it my LARGEST position when it was cheap so I could take profits and enjoy some of the success and buy back shares when they go on sale or just enjoy the ride higher.

Not too shabby news from Timer Digest:
