I certainly think Yahoo is going to try and go after this market more. I actually preferred their DFS platform to Draftkings, but maybe it is because I already have FF leagues there.
Biotech is getting hammered everywhere. Go look at the XBI. I imagine it's just amplified for the smaller ones.
I know you are a short term guy, but after reading that Seeking Alpha article on the next 20+ years for Amazon and the transition to a more dividend type stock, I plan to keep that block for a long time.
I thought it was in here but it was in my history:
I knew I should have sold some of that when it was in the $300s. I got in at $95ish so still a great return but I was going to reinvest some gains elsewhere. Then again everything I would have bought them is also down.
I believe you are correct. Verizon just sold Yahoo to Apollo, a PE firm, who said they plan to capitalize on the gambling market. I hope they don't start charging for Yahoo Finance.
Im still holding my DKNG.
I have a bunch of companies reporting earnings this week - just waiting for that to happen so I can add more shares assuming they’re all still going in the right direction (with the businesses). ETSY tonight, FVRR, AXON, FLGT, SQ tomorrow, DKNG Friday. Added to TER already.
I have to get my taxes done LOL first. I know I owe a bunch. After that, I’ll know how much cash I’ll have available. I wish I was smarter and dumped KALA and CLOV last week when I saw a peak and didn’t know if I still wanted them or just wanted to invest in more long term stuff. KALA has earnings tonight so hopefully it’s good news. I may also clean out more of my SPAC stuff that I still have and put it all in my long term recs/stocks.
Kind of funny that Chamath spent too much time pumping GME and other meme stocks to get kudos. He didn’t realize that that would pull money from SPACs into the next hot trend.IPOF with a rumored acquisition of Equinox (luxury gyms + Peleton knockoff) and is down on the news. Sorry Chamath, the meme traders have all moved on to leveraged bets on tulips
Lesson to myself not to chase the hot stock after a big pullback trying to chase a bounce. PTON had rich pricing to begin with and this recall will set them back years. Norditrac also spent a ton on ads last quarter attempting to get people interested in their bike. It amazes me how fast the fitness market gets flooded when a new trend hits.
KALA reported this morning. I don't know anything about them but it looks like they missed and they're down
I didn’t see anything reported so I assumed the afternoon. Should have sold last week. Ugh, instead of asking thoughts should have just gone with the guy being up decent on CLOV/KALA last week and could have rolled it over.
My only regret is that like last March, I felt like we all knew it was coming. I think it was good to not cash out then because there’s no way I’d assume that I would have pushed it all back in early enough. This time though, I definitely wish I went to cash because I felt like this would be a longer lull because we went up so much in 2020.
Lol. You have to wonder if things like GME and DOGE and BTC are also causing some of the housing craziness. Stocks in general have done really well, but those things have created billions, heck well over $1T in wealth in the past year.
Selling that bad boy after a Friday night run up.
Eh I’ve had a good year before 2 days ago. It’s too much to get caught up in this day to day. I’ll end up 15-20% by December.
Same. I'm generally mostly invested all the time even during lulls because individual stocks still pop during market lulls. Don't wanna miss them.
Yea I jumped on that todem stock the other day and amazon earlier this year when it hit 2950. Added Hgen to the portfolio but other than that I’m just cruising along.
Amazing that people trade on this type of news. At the bottom (of course) of this article is a great nugget. The article basically saying that billionaires were allowing shares to be shorted so they could move money offshore in anticipation of divorce, which I assume means that Bill Gates getting divorced will now squeeze shorts.
Me not so much this year. Not horrible but trailing S&P. Most of that is more because I did make a bunch of additional purchases early in the year. 401ks are up nicely. That and Amazon jumped a bit right at the end of the year so it’s basically almost flat for the year and is my biggest holding.
