Up $5.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. Â
I think they're going to have to crush to avoid a drop. Just beating won't be enough imo.Anyone making any plays into DOCU earnings? I have a fair bit of it so was considering trimming some, but I also kind of want to buy a bunch more in case it pops.
Still have half of what I had when it hit $440-450. Bought in at $90 and added more at $65 last March, worked out well.Added ROKU @347.20

Only down a couple % but I do think it may fall a bit more. Good results but Q3 forecast is barely above Q2, so decelerating growth. That’s been the thing that has whacked any of these high fliers like CRWD.I think they're going to have to crush to avoid a drop. Just beating won't be enough imo.
It's still my largest position. I'm still holding long term until they give me a reason not to do so.Â
3 months ago, 6/2, it closed around $195. It had basically been up 50% from last ER. I'll take holding in the $280s. Gladly.Only down a couple % but I do think it may fall a bit more.

One thing that might keep the downside to a minimum is that DOCU hasn’t really jumped over the past couple weeks like other stuff so not a huge run up into today to roll back.
I’m still doing ok. Not up as much as earlier but still pretty good. What nose-dived for you guys?Â
still up more than I take home each paycheck. I thought oh good, an investigative journalist…..and then his Twitter profile said he’s a meteorologist
Lol, yeah, I was interested and then realized it was just a shareholder replying to an FDA tweet as if they’d get a response.I thought oh good, an investigative journalist…..and then his Twitter profile said he’s a meteorologistÂ
I’ll never understand why people tweet at the fda. Do they think a scientist is running the account?Lol, yeah, I was interested and then realized it was just a shareholder replying to an FDA tweet as if they’d get a response.
And that the scientist would say, “Jeez, I totally misread that data! Thanks, Kentucky Weatherman!”I’ll never understand why people tweet at the fda. Do they think a scientist is running the account?
Oh yea, not loving it. Especially these two dudes who have been very reasonable previously  (mwm and some guy named Jerry) - they’ve had good info for a while but recently have started to lose their mind on there and act nuts.ÂAll of the "approve lenzilumab FDA what are you waiting for why are you letting people just DIE that you could be SAVING rIgHt NoW!!111" replies to that tweet gave me some not so awesome flashbacks.
IdiotsÂAnd that the scientist would say, “Jeez, I totally misread that data! Thanks, Kentucky Weatherman!”
It’s so odd how easy it seems to be now to find a job and it just doesn’t seem to matter. At the same time people can throw double cash on houses. Is it the free billions and billions in crypto and meme stocks? Is everyone a millionaire now and there’s no need to work?Big miss on the jobs report.Â

Let’s turn that fed money machine back on.Â
People still don't want to get Covid from working a lot of those jobs.It’s so odd how easy it seems to be now to find a job and it just doesn’t seem to matter.

yea as desert said those jobs are likely the covid crap jobs where you re underpaid and overworked. I saw one picture on Twitter last night where a restaurant posted a sign - “NOW HIRING. WEEKENDS AND HOLIDAY WORK MANDATORY” - like, that was literally the second line of the sign. Lol. Talk about misunderstanding the job market.ÂIt’s so odd how easy it seems to be now to find a job and it just doesn’t seem to matter. At the same time people can throw double cash on houses.

Well, thanks MDB. I sold 2/3 of the shares in my taxable account and 1/3 of the shares in my IRA (basically half total). I’ll have a bit of a tax hit but $490+? Had to trim and just today’s gain in the shares I sold is enough to pay off the rest of my RX. I was thinking about that and it seems like I will now.MDB, however, run MFer, run. Looks up 10% after earnings. It’s my 2nd largest holding after AMZN. TTD was, but I’ve sold most of what I originally had. 10% will be a nice chunk o’ change.
Yes, there are a lot of those jobs, but I’m talking about white collar jobs as well. There’s a ton available.yea as desert said those jobs are likely the covid crap jobs where you re underpaid and overworked.

And yea I think a lot of crypto/nft/meme stocks changed the equation. And that’s great imo. People have been getting rich off the backs of others for way too long in this country. Minimum wage was never addressed so people addressed it themselves.Â
Extremely bullish for my portfolio. These are the runs you miss if you keep trying to prepare for corrections.Big miss on the jobs report.Â

It will be real interesting if or when, there is a crash in those things. Right now there are just too many to survive and eventually AMC will be worth what their financials warrant. I’m wondering who gets hurt the most.

Lol. So crazy. I liked MDB’s numbers but up $90 a share numbers? Nah. Still keeping half but quite a few stocks are back up at the nosebleed ratios in February or higher.![]()
Or not.
Of course.
No tapering, yo.ÂBig miss on the jobs report.Â

Helluva day. I’m happy to have some things to trim though because I’ve got my eye on some other long term stuff and had very little cash available.Extremely bullish for my portfolio. These are the runs you miss if you keep trying to prepare for corrections.
Still not sellingLol. So crazy. I liked MDB’s numbers but up $90 a share numbers? Nah. Still keeping half but quite a few stocks are back up at the nosebleed ratios in February or higher.
Though I recognize there's prob not much upside in it (DOCU) for the next 3-6 mos.
Semiconductor sector and etherium exposure keeping in the green so far...
Interesting points but wouldn’t the success in the stock market sort of counteract that? Madoff and Lehman Brothers affected a very small segment of people. Interesting news but the housing bubble had way more of an impact to normal people.Think about these people who are just entering the big earnings years of their careers. These people have lived through 9/11, the Great Recession, and a global pandemic basically before they really started their careers. I'd be saving money like I was Ma and Pa McSorley coming out of the Dust Bowl, too. And if I wasn't saving it, I'd be throwing it at Doge and other dumb crap because my experience with traditional financial systems are Lehman Brothers and Bernie Madoff so why should I trust those things?
This is where I’m at. It’s more about the upside potential of some other things I’d like to add. I’ve still got a bunch of shares of MDB, so very much in bed with it. Happy to trim at what I think could be a near term peak to give me more cash to invest elsewhere. We’ll see how it goes, but I’ve been thinking about trimming some of my big guys for a while and it does feel nicer to sell something after a huge pop/double since May rather than selling low.Though I recognize there's prob not much upside in it (DOCU) for the next 3-6 mos.

couldn't disagree more @stbugs — sure  a greed factor is involved but young people are absolutely aware that the deck is stacked against them and completely uninterested in working these crap jobs for crap money while a bunch of Karens yell at them because their kale salad has too many raisins in it. They’re just not going to do it anymore.
Â
I think we are seeing a fundamental shift in the way this next generation decides to work and live their life and I do not expect it to change. They are finding other ways to make money, whether it’s DOGE or meme stocks or driving Uber eats around on their own time - everything has fundamentally changed.Â
We weren’t talking about young people. @McBokonon mentioned people who had been through the financial crisis, probably dot com bubble too, and were entering their big earnings year. I fit that description to a T. You are arguing about the next generation. I was talking about people who had been working and in the stock market for 20 or so years. I’m talking about the Karen’s and their husbands during their GMC Suburbans.Capella said:“I don’t see the past 20 years of the market/economy driving people to DOGE.”
