I wish I can tell that to Prudential Retirement. They only have Blended.

FB at 216 and change before earnings, analysts are saying 10% upside if earnings are beat.

or a 25% plunge if they don't .

down 40.50 in after market trading . phew!

i'm sure a lot of people lost their shirts, all those who bought at 218..holy cow!

i don't buy individual companies for investment . market risk is enough without adding individual company risk in to the mix . an earnings miss can set you back a long long time . expectations for fang are so high that if they slip up just a bit they will get pummeled.

nasdaq will be likely be down quite a bit tomorrow . all the other big tech stocks were down 2 to 3% ...

it is like every time i hit a new high in my portfolio something sets us off falling the next day .

exactly. today was a great day for my portfolio so its only to be expected for tomorrow to be a bad day.

the good news is i have TLT AND GLD so up or down one of them usually does well in a sell off
