I bought 500 shares of Shopify in November 2023 for $67 a share. Sold half of it last week at $150. Took the proceeds and purchased 417 EXC at $44.99 and 218 XLU at $86.06. So I'm not a complete nitwit. Just mostly a nitwit.

Wow, thanks for this. I read a lot, especially these days, and it's obviously the first time I'm reading about this. lol

First, hey friends! :) Immigration policy has taken a lot of workers out of the equation. It will be interesting, possibly scary, to see what AI does to the employment rate. Same thing with driverless cars and more importantly, trucks. I think we are still many years away from driverless...

I know where the caboose goes.

I bet there are a bunch of guys that would be happy to donate their Tungsten wedding bands.

Great advice. Everything has already been signed over to a beneficiary. ETa sorry my medical Marijuana kicked in.

I looked at doing this for the same reason but if I remember correctly, and it's quite possible I'm not, they were pretty pricey.

They just built a DB by me. It's next door to a SBUX. Do you want me to run any recon? @General Malaise A question for all of you, what do you with 3 million or so, in your mid 70's (so not talking about me ;) and are starting to show signs of dementia which runs in your family. 80/20...

I was trying a new strategy for me. I know it has been done so save it to the board Buffets. AAPL has been moving like a jumping bean on a hot plate. Short term negatives are the criticisms of falling behind in AI and of course the POTUS threatening them every month or so. el Potential...

Happy we had a pull back. It sounds awesome to have the markets rebound and go straight up but it's not sustainable. Not to mention (IMO) stocks in general get right back to the overvalued territory. Let's go up slowly, figure out these stupid tariffs, and give earnings a chance to catch up.

Correct. I blamed my wife then and little has changed.

Dang it, sent. Thank you as always!

S&P 500 04/04/25 5074 05/14/25 5892 +16% which puts me up over 30% YTD

All of this. I'm not an expert like you but "coiled spring" was the adjective I was looking for in regards to the upcoming AAPL and AMZN earnings. (ETA best case scenario looking for a close over $200 for both) Would be a beautiful thing to give Mrs. SLB a blank check to remodel our kitchen...
