Cynically depressing

I have my yahoo finance app divided into categories for watching trends. The only category which was mostly green today were all having to do with the companies that control our food supply.

It is just my listing of the individual food conglomerate stocks that I label the category “Food”
MDLZ, ASBFI, BN.PA, K, UL, GIZ, PEP, KO, NESN.SW, KR, ACI. Everything was down today

such as ASBFI, BN.PA, NESN.SW, GIZ and could not find. That being said there is always rotation from less risky investments, think food/necessities/utilities, to more speculative investment such as AI more recently. In the last few decades we've moved from pension plans, whose investments were managed by company professionals, to plans where employees need to make their own investment decisions. There are pros and cons to both, thanks again

Your right things always change. I like to watch different investments in terms of their sectors and how they change in terms of what is happening in the world. Right now I trust nothing. I wish my SEP and 401 k allowed me to buy gold because thats what I wanted to do when Dick head won.

and an interesting list with some foreign companies in there as well. I tried the symbols, mainly in tradingview and/or stockcharts, and came up blank on a few. I don't blame you for not trusting very much at the moment. Looked back at few to see what they did during the tech bubble. For instance UL had a high in early '99 before most of the major indices topped and then bottomed before them in early 2000, but it still dropped from about 26 to 12. Re gold, having constraints on what one can buy in a 401k is challenging.

A decent site for a quick glance at sectors.

Futures gapped down across the board, tomorrow will be another interesting day.
