I bought a large amount of stock using the WRONG account that had no money. My broker allowed it for some reason despite the fact that it wasn't a margin account -- ended up having to transfer money over from an external bank account.
What's the worst fat finger mistake you've made? I've been trading NUGT, bought back in and then I had to pick up someone from the airport, check the traffic and checked the flight status time. Limit order to sell NUGT at 110, but put in 100. Course it instantly filled at the market price.
So true. Just to add to that, where is the cheap money to do the buybacks coming from? Take a guess guys. Yup, the fed's QE programs.
Don't get me wrong. These were essential to help the economy recover. But a true recovery requires both a monetary and fiscal response. And because of the gridlock in congress, including the ongoing sequestration that went into effect a couple of years ago, fiscal response has been none existent.
So the fed has been doing what it can from the monetary side. But as we've seen, and continue to see in Japan, it's no where near enough.
They bought back 3.7% of shares in 2015.
For 2015 $0.28 EPS increase was the result of buybacks.
So earnings are down by $0.19 per share and EPS increased by $0.09 per share.
And they only added $2,035,000,000 in long term debt.

Word is that servicing those bonds will likely cause major problems eventually -- same with bonds maturing and having to reissue at higher yields to pay current ones back.
Upstream costs in 2015 were 25% to 30% below their 2012 levels, when per-well costs were at their highest point over the past decade. Changes in technology have affected drilling efficiency and completion, supporting higher productivity per well and lowering costs, while shifts towards deeper and longer lateral wells with more complex completions have tended to increase costs.
The number of consumer insolvencies in the country jumped by 9.7 per cent over the past year, according to data from the Office of the Superintendent of Bankruptcy (OSB).

This is a very interesting article from the EIA about oil/gas well costs between 2006 to 2015 -- no data past that. Oil/gas didn't really start tanking until 2015. I've heard of huge layoffs, salary reductions, cutbacks everywhere, and auctions for tons of drilling equipment since then. How much more did they drop?

How the mighty have fallen. That's going to be Saudi Arabia and the entire middle east in about 20 years.so Venezuela is going to collapse
predictions on how oil will react?
I believe Venezuela imported WTI to mix with its heavier crude
Is the jump in oil and gold is largely attributed to the fall in the dollar? I still don't get why oil has had such a rally or even why gold has jumped so much in the last 2 weeks.

How much is it down in ~4 years? Google finance says from 210000 to 102.90 right now (a 99.94% loss) but Yahoo finance says it only dropped from 21000 (a 99.4% loss). Either way leveraged gold has been a generally terrible play in the last 4 years.
