To be sung to the tune of My Favorite Things

New Years 2018 Investment Poem

Facebook and Apple and Netflix and Google
Throw money at them, no need to be frugal
Amazon’s up over fifty percent
It’s probably not just a random event
When my stocks drop
When I lose bad
When I’m feeling mad
I simply remember my favorite trades
And then I don’t feel so sad

Bitcoin and Ether and Litecoin and Ripple
It certainly looks like my money will triple
California will have legalized pot
Which should cause all weed stocks to get very hot
When my stocks drop
When I lose bad
When I’m feeling mad
I simply remember my favorite trades
And then I don’t feel so sad

The stock market indexes have gone very high
Investors made money and that is no lie
The markets have risen nine years in a row
Everyone’s guessing how high it will go
When my stocks drop
When I lose bad
When I’m feeling mad
I simply remember my favorite trades
And then I don’t feel so sad

The ABCs of Google Using the XYZ Domain

In case you haven't heard, there is a relatively new top level domain that is starting to become popular, and is called .XYZ. This is in addition to the common ones, such as .COM, .ORG, .and NET, and even the country domains and exotic domains such as .CO, .LY, ME, .XXX, and .TRAVEL. There are literally hundreds and hundreds of these domains.

Well, Google (GOOG) (GOOGL) has taken the lead with the .XYZ domain, by registering ABC.XYZ. Why ABC you might ask?

Google is creating a new parent company called Alphabet and will become a publicly traded entity. According to Larry Page on the Alphabet website:

"Alphabet Inc. will replace Google Inc. as the publicly-traded entity and all shares of Google will automatically convert into the same number of shares of Alphabet, with all of the same rights. Google will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Alphabet. Our two classes of shares will continue to trade on Nasdaq as GOOGL and GOOG."
