Done, glad you are doing well, Siff. Love the ice cream story and what you are doing for other people.
Congrats budWell nice to wake up to 27k this morning.
Holding 2275 shares of RLYP
In the chart I posted yesterday the "Blue" Line is a SMA and the "Yellow" line is an EMA.Siff, question about moving averages... Do you look at EMA or SMA?
I regret not getting in on this ~month ago when we were talking about here.GM crushed Q2... If the macro doesn't collapse, I don't know how this isn't on its way to new 52 weeks highs in the coming months.
They are officially over their bankruptcy. Huge profit, low P/E, big dividend. What isn't to like on this one.
I saw it up way higher before open. $1.86 EPS vs $1.55ish? estimate if I remember right. Buy tomorrow.I guess I misread the GM earnings and the market doesn't love it as much as I do.
Record quarter, higher guidance, higher revenue, higher profits.... Crushed on this. At this rate, they'll close down.
Of the two I recall Ford making good moves in the "new technology" space.lol
They're still up almost 2.5%. And got a nice little pop for F in the process.
GM and Ford both face uphill battles. Between reputation, the threat of new technology and the belief that profits aren't sustainable when gas prices come back up, they have some obstacles to overcome to make people believers.
Solid, growing company....:thumpsup:SPHS is my new bio if anyone cares.
Possibly NEO....that might be the best looking chart I've ever seen
They are both doing very well in the technology space. You could argue better than many competitors.lol

I'm optimistic. I have a small piece of both, assuming F doesn't do what CAT's done to me.They are both doing very well in the technology space. You could argue better than many competitors.
They diversified their business to be profitable on all products beyond just trucks and SUVs. But right now, the industry run rate is at an all time high -- easier times and good news for sales and profits. What the market wants to see is how they handle a downturn. Once they can prove to be profitable in a downturn or lower industry run rate, there will be more confidence from "the street".
Looks like I can sell some December $12.50 Puts right now for $2.00-$2.60, or September for $1.10-$1.50. Thoughts?I've mentioned them in here before and own them in the Stock pick contest but I still think LXU runs up to +20 within the next year. Feel free to grab some long.
If any I'd sell the September puts for a hedge. I wouldn't do any further out because this is a play on long term that will give you upside. If anything any risk in the stock is in the near term.Looks like I can sell some December $12.50 Puts right now for $2.00-$2.60, or September for $1.10-$1.50. Thoughts?
Up over 13% since June 27th. That's what I call selling the news.I guess I misread the GM earnings and the market doesn't love it as much as I do.

I'm going to listen to the earnings call here at 4:30. Will keep all posted.Basically juggling two jobs right now, real job and stocks:
Recommend watching Chipotle after market close tomorrow. Think there will be a good opportunity (long or short).
Stock has a gigantic amount of short interest, if numbers indicate a recovery from the E. coli stuff, thing could seriously blast off with the covering. While I'm not really expecting this, I'm open to watching and capitalizing if it does. On the other side, if they show their recovery is faltering, look out below.
Speaking of car companies after looking at what TSLA has done lately and the new master plan I'm (for the first time in a long while) considering a short here. Cool cars, but the company is turning into a cluster####.Bob Sacamano said:lol

I've gone a few times recently (college son home for summer) and the long lines are back. I'll bet you find quarter over quarter sales are way up. Their issues seem to be behind them.Can someone explain Chipotle to me? They're doing awful, store visits down substantially, if you read between the lines it looks like they're retaining the people that never left, but certainly aren't growing by any stretch and the stock is up 3%.
I want to short it, but this is trading so silly to me.
In store traffic this quarter was down 23% YoY... Did you ever leave, or have you continued going?I've gone a few times recently (college son home for summer) and the long lines are back. I'll bet you find quarter over quarter sales are way up. Their issues seem to be behind them.
Did you ever stop going during food scares?I eat at Chipotle 4 times a week ( )
I like that I can get low carb options with good quality meat. Very diet friendly if you leave out the rice, beans and tortillas
It's a fast casual Mexican restaurantCan someone explain Chipotle to me? They're doing awful, store visits down substantially, if you read between the lines it looks like they're retaining the people that never left, but certainly aren't growing by any stretch and the stock is up 3%.

I calls em like I sees em.In store traffic this quarter was down 23% YoY... Did you ever leave, or have you continued going?
Looking at the Chiptopia plan, my theory is they're retaining people who never left, not growing new users. Just my .02
I don't like the way I feel if I raise my cost basis. Ever. Just a quirk.BIG earnings week coming up. Considering selling half of my AMZN and GOOGL because I'm way up. If they disappoint and get crushed, buy right back in. Good numbers still make money. Thoughts?
I think the concept we're looking for here is "dry powder".I think it's safe to say the stock market can never go down.
:sends champagne to central banks:
I will say this, one of Buffet's best quotes is to be fearful when others are greedy and vice versa. Greed is running wild lately. It's basically impossible to be bearish right now though when everything just goes up no matter what. With rates so low, there is nowhere else to put money.
I hear you but wasn't considering buying higher. If they crush, just let the other half run. I don't know, will probably just keep holding.I don't like the way I feel if I raise my cost basis. Ever. Just a quirk.
Yep, I own FB too.Google and Amazon can't go down. Even if they miss and fall, they'll just go right back up. In fact, I'd hold and assume they go up, and hope they miss so I could buy more for cheaper.
This is part shtick part truth. The reality is, this really is what our market is, especially when you talk about the Googs or Bezos.
My real question is about Facebook also reporting this week. I'd bet a gazillion dollars they blow out revenue and earnings, almost a guarantee. My concern with them is their user growth, I think there is a chance it is less than expectations - I wonder how the market reacts to that if this were the case.
I don't see them falling after earnings, almost impossible, but if they do, which I hope happens, I'm buying aggressively.
EBIO is doing the same thing and I'm riding it up with my pump & dump gambling account.SPHS unreal. Left a few grand on the table by selling too soon.
Is it just a pump and dump? SPHS supposedly has a cure for prostate cancer. Heck maybe it's legit.EBIO is doing the same thing and I'm riding it up with my pump & dump gambling account.
Not really. I just call 'em all pump and dump in my list. I track stocks like this that have low float and low single digit share price. Mostly biotech. If they can sustain their jump like both these have, then I consider buying them.Is it just a pump and dump? SPHS supposedly has a cure for prostate cancer. Heck maybe it's legit.
If SPHS closes over 6 I will be in awe.lod001 said:EBIO now rocketing straight up. Someone bought a #### load. 619K buy.
