What's up with FSLY today?  up 7% 

Going up with other edge computing stocks. NET's up a lot, too.

I was wondering why NFLX has found life lately.  They are scheduled to begin airing every Seinfeld episode starting in October.   

Needs to break through $593 and change. 

probably nothing in the grand scheme, but M1’s new credit card gives 10% back on Netflix if you own it in your portfolio. 
so I put 1% in it, dominoes and TJ Max (the only companies I’ll use often enough to make it worthwhile).

told my wife Yesterday I could retire tomorrow. But I won’t for another 5-10 years. 

I could conceivably go in 7 years, but what would I do?

DFS has dipped back down to a nice support point.  It's been a superb holding the last few years and if I didn't have so much of it I'd seriously consider buying more.

 

[tonydead]

Work the HCA income cap and these costs are manageable.  With enough post tax investments you can control your income to be what it needs to be.

Just bought a bit.

I could give you a nice list. Personally, I really like to cook and Id love to have time to make nice meals every day. I’ve also got a big backlog of stuff I haven’t seen (Grand Canyon, strippers, etc.), stuff I haven’t watched (Sopranos, Mad Men, 2 girls one cup), haven’t golfed at all lately and I’m barely scratching the surface. I won’t get too excited around my sugar momma, but I’m so ready to stop working.

 

[BassNBrew]

Just sold some Danimer...up 60% in two weeks.

Also some Kala at 22% in the same timeframe.

 

[BassNBrew]

Trimmed the remaining SE bought this year around $200.  It had grown to over a 5% weighting of my account.  Dumped 20% of my shares.

 

[BassNBrew]

And adios the last of the recent Amazon in the low $33xx range.

I sold two whole shares earlier today, used the funds to buy DFS

A $6 price would be a Merry Christmas indeed!

If you live in a decent size city it's almost unlimited.  Heck, I spend a good amount of the day exercising.  It's so relaxing and satisfying.

Between meme stocks, alt crypto and NFTs there’s billions upon billions of dollars that were just created and IMHO, going to go away. There will be many that made a mint but there are going to be so many more Otis Top Shot like experiences. It’s going to be interesting.

lol I by no means meant to imply I’m some workaholic. Nothing could be further from the truth. Just saying that I already find myself with plenty of time for hobbies such as cooking and stock stuff and sports…add another 40 hours to that each week and sheesh.

I understood GB. I guess I'm just really good at staying busy. 

 

[kevzilla]

I'm really good at just messing around, but I don't get to do it full-time for ten more years.

Pets.com disagrees.

An old friend and his boss/friend (more boss) sold the pets.com (I think they were still mainly owned by Amazon) and toys.com to eToys. They made a lot (boss made way more) on toys.com, not so much on pets.com as that stock died quick. Haven’t heard from him in many years.

Lucky jerks.

No kidding. I think when eToys was at its peak, my friend said that the stock was worth tens of millions since they got shares well before the IPO. His boss gave him a couple million of it. That was back in 1999. The company blew up spectacularly and was in bankruptcy in early 2001. Less than two years it went from hot IPO to worthless. No idea if they kept the stock or not.

They also ran a web site for Vivid Entertainment in the late 90s.

I’m going on the record that I’m starting to get that uncomfortable feeling again. I’ve enjoyed the ride but it just feels like some stuff is getting expensive. In the tech space I’ve noticed that some of the older stocks aren’t getting as much benefit of the doubt on earnings but some of the newer IPOs are and their P/S ratios are definitely getting in that danger zone where other stocks before them got hammered earlier this year.

I may start a little more trimming in my IRA as I hate taxes and don’t feel like doing much in my taxable account unless I can cover it with losses (got a couple) or it’s a small long term gain. Last year’s taxes sucked balls when I paid them.

I’m sort of glad that I’m not sure what you mean. I’m just going to ignore it and walk away.

I’m assuming the alternative is not having taxable gains at all.

You can always sell calls on stuff you have enough shares of if you feel like a correction is around the corner.

Oh, My mind went in the gutter there thinking it was a joke about balls.

$U broke through the 129/130 resistance 

 

[pmedina]

Sold MARA and HUT at 10% gains and FNKO @ 6.5%. 

Back in all cash in post tax account and looking, so keep the ideas going. 

As an aside, finally reached 2 commas in my main account. Thanks @Todem

 

[General Malaise]

So.....the Reddit warriors are now into Uranium?  You guys hearing this?  

Spot price for Uranium was $30 or so a week ago.  Now $35 and moving.  Stocks are all on the hop.  This is like some weird fever dream I can't wake up from.  What is happening, who is winning, what is occurring?  

 

[General Malaise]

I bought a little URG for kicks and giggles.  I've owned them off and on for 10+ years.  They suck, but if you want a crappy boat to rise in a tide, here's the SS Minnow of Uranium plays.

With this talk about retirement, I finally got the job offer I’ve been expecting. A small raise. But I’m waiting for the job offer I want (I should be one of the top candidates).

Just amazon for me. I’m still green overall.

I didn’t even look, I was just joking. It was a great day (>1% overall), now about 0.4% green. I’ll still take that every day. Especially, with CHWY, STNE and AI sucking hard.
