Ah, I'm screwed then as I'm a teacher and I'll be here until I retire.At my prior job, I had a 403b through TIAA CREF and they would not let me move funds so long as I stayed in that job. After taking a new job (not for this reason), it was easy to move it to Vanguard.
As a federal civilian I feel your pain.Ah, I'm screwed then as I'm a teacher and I'll be here until I retire.
CLOV/IPOC has not been a very liked deal the whole time. I only read the summary of the report, but certainly seems like valid returns. I think I had read an investigation rumored on other forums, so have stayed away. I guess this will test all the hot takes about short sellers being dead. SPACs should be pretty easy to short with their low float.Is this CLOV fight real or just retaliation against Chamath? A company named Hindenburg sounds like a short research group and looking to destroy something.
Another 1/4 position for me at $10.35.Damn UVXY with that sexy little dip in the morning. Bought a little.
What price do u need so you can turn your 5% and get out? More importantly, does the shtick end too?Best advice I can offer is if someone suggest buying Amazon, kick them in the nads. You'll get a better return taping the Wall Street Journal to the wall and throwing a dart.
Very much this, particularly if you aren't already investing in a broad market fund.BTW, if you're new around here, pay far more attention to Todem's posts than mine.
I do not do ETFs and just recommended the first one I googled. beef is probably a better source for which one to choose.@rick6668 Also SPCX and SPXZ and there are enough SPACs out there for each of these ETFs to be a little different. SPXZ seems to hold more companies that have merged and changed tickers already. I'm in SPCX.
@Todem as always, really appreciate the tips. Thanks to you I'm already in EXC (+14%) and PFE (+6%), and will look to trim some high fliers and rotate some money into some of these others.Good morning.
Value/dividend picks today for those seeking current income, and some long term moderate growth. These stocks are highly defensive.
MDU
EXC
VZ
GIS
GSK
PFE
LMT
These are not sexy in today's GME/AMC/SPAC/Bitcoin frenzy/roulette wheel casino market we see right now LOL.
These are real stocks, with real earnings, and real strong and growing dividends.
Buy them with the utmost confidence for long term compounding and a defensive sleeve for your portfolio.
Take care folks.
Maybe. I am a teacher, too, so I went from a school that used TIAA CREF to another one that did, too. It is possible that CREF is tight in not allowing folks to switch while the outfit your school uses does allow you to move them. I don't know the details. Probably worth a question to your HR person or call the investment firm directly to try to move that money.Ah, I'm screwed then as I'm a teacher and I'll be here until I retire.
Added chunk of UVXY and TZA plus a little more GBTC on the dipDamn UVXY with that sexy little dip in the morning. Bought a little.
Thought I'd search out the OP for this. (hey! search actually worked!)buddy sent me this
Putting one on your radar. Ticker BOXL. Had recent insider buys and today they announced a successful phase one roll out in Texas. Anyone who knows anything about school curriculum will tell you Texas runs the show. Anyone the price is up but recent history would tell me we have a $2.50 to $4.00 price move soon. A lot of money just came in right now. I have 3000 shares at $1.67
Thanks for KALA recommendation. It’s been on fire last 3 days. What’s a good exit point? In at 7.60Sold all VGAC, didn’t look like it wanted to run...made 10%.
Doubled down on IPOE
Wasn’t meThanks for KALA recommendation. It’s been on fire last 3 days. What’s a good exit point? In at 7.60
Not a chance. No idea about the ups and downs but I wouldn’t buy a stock I know is really worth a lot less.Anyone in for GME in the $77 range?
I should have just stuck with my first choice. Own them both but one dropped right before the new year and the other went up. Should have stuck with the one that dropped right before, helps with returns based on that date.You and cos have played tag with last place lately
I'm a little salty to be in third place at 102%. But yeah, as a group we're killing it.
Yup. It was a run.Not a chance. No idea about the ups and downs but I wouldn’t buy a stock I know is really worth a lot less.
Not gonna advise on exit point but has a lot of room to grow. I'll be in this until given a reason not to be and right now we are just getting started.Thanks for KALA recommendation. It’s been on fire last 3 days. What’s a good exit point? In at 7.60
Yep, it was. I wish sometimes I was riskier but 2020 was way too good to me as is. No need to rock the boat now. Medium speed ahead!Yup. It was a run.
I hopped off yesterday. Got tired of waitingKALA making some steady moves everyday. Train is getting ready to leave the station.
Nice! It makes up for me selling TLRY as a short term play for just a small jump compared to the leap it just made. It’s why I don’t day trade. I have a hard enough time deciding on long term plays.Not gonna advise on exit point but has a lot of room to grow. I'll be in this until given a reason not to be and right now we are just getting started.
Hopped off with a small profit too. Was getting so impatient with it the last few months, that I wanted out (missed some good calls because that money was tied up).I hopped off yesterday. Got tired of waiting
It’s so hard with stocks you hear about and don’t have that faith in. I’m glad I didn’t bail, up a couple grand so I’d love to see it run.I hopped off yesterday. Got tired of waiting
No....that 10% is not a missed opportunity at all. Having some fixed income in your portfolio is always advised. Whether that is bonds or even cold hard cash for a rainy day.@Todem as always, really appreciate the tips. Thanks to you I'm already in EXC (+14%) and PFE (+6%), and will look to trim some high fliers and rotate some money into some of these others.
Investment philosophy question - do you believe owning a mix of bond funds in retirement accounts is still advised? Or could it almost be better to move that allocation to income plays (or an income fund) like some of the above? I've got the typical 90/10 equity/bonds split in my retirement accounts, and the same for my current 401k contributions, but I'm wondering if that 10% is really just a missed opportunity.
Curious others' thoughts as well.
TIA!

Other stock I bought today is $KALA. Based on this dude. He was pounding the table on $GTHX and I missed out on that pop so hoping he’s right again.
All of these reddit stocks are headed back to where they were before the craze. That puts AMC at below $2.50. Making money on the long side from here will require being nimble and some luck.AMC heading below $7.60 again . . . people/Dodds getting back in down there?
You asked me once.....and I will say it again to you. Unless you can sit by your computer all day and try to trade it....stay out.AMC heading below $7.60 again . . . people/Dodds getting back in down there?
Moving upward today ahead of the 5pm call. I have little doubt the Q4 numbers will be solid, I just hope they have a good story to tell around how they're addressing delivery delays/ramping up manufacturing capacity. If they can satisfy analysts on that issue it should pop to new highs.I think PTON could pop after Thursday's earnings and guidance.
It's priced high, but is emerging as the biggest company in the home fitness area. This stock popped earlier this year after they announced they had bought Precor to help meeting production.
Great management team and a stock that is worth just having in your portfolio to buy the dips.
I forget the exact numbers but I saw 3-4 weeks ago that the number of containers headed to the US was more than double. You should probably verify that.Moving upward today ahead of the 5pm call.

Just was curious. Timing is crazy on these things.You asked me once.....and I will say it again to you. Unless you can sit by your computer all day and try to trade it....stay out.
It’s over.
It is very difficult. And not recommended unless you are willing to lose every penny you put in.Just was curious. Timing is crazy on these things.
Boring old People's +4% today. Looking forward to the Feb. 15th pay date on that juicy 5.09% dividend yield. Should cover the Feb. 14th meal for me and Mrs: Korean takeout with a nice bottle of Malbac for her and a six pack of pFriem IPA for me.@urbanhackto follow up on a couple of names I have in my PA for income, I like Ben Franklin Resources (BEN) which is trading at $26 and throws off 4.26% yield. Stock tends to stay in its lane though it dropped to $14 when stocks crashed last year but has rallied since. And, since I know you to be a man of high integrity and a heart of gold, this might resonate with you:
Anyhow, if you're looking for stocks that aren't going to be subject to wild swings (ordinarily) and will pay you each quarter a cash dividend, you could do a lot worse than BEN.
Another one I own is People's United Financial (PBCT) and is a little cheaper at $13.57 but has a juicy 5.27% yield. Not sure how they are graded by our LGBTQRSTUV friends, but there's a couple of stocks I use for income to go along with things I don't know what they do.
