Yeah, if you made money in U related names already, ring the register.  I, on the other hand, am stubborn and stupid and will see where this goes.  But I like pain.  I've been married twice.

I sold all my URA this morning and will retain the UUUU (long term play for me that I intend to keep for a while) and the stupid URG for kicks.  URA was a costly gamble.  

Bought DKNG this morning and added some more DIS.  Soooooooo original.

 
The Fidelity fees were a mixup from a bank transfer, they had not charged a thing, thankfully.  Sorry for bringing it up.

Got greedy and put in limits earlier this week on Airbnb and Moderna during the dip.  Just missed adding to both positions, so dumb.  ABNB is going places.

Loading up more on DKNG.  Feels like it could be Last Chance Saloon in low 50's.

 
Are there any free websites that provide a Morningstar-style grid analysis of a stock on the large-mid-small / growth-blend-value axis? For whatever reason I can't seem to find it on any of my usual sites.

Based on the peak in 2017 or so, it’s about time for crypto to roll back down.

One thing that I think is funny about miners is that in a couple years their revenue potential gets cut in half with the halving. If you told me any company had two years before their revenue was cut in half, I might hesitate to buy their stock. There are also now tons of competitors.

It was never going to be a long term hold, just a trade from what I thought was a big dip.

Will DKNG ever have positive earnings?

I haven't dug into their earnings reports.  Is it because they keep buying up others to get more established in Europe?  BofA reported the other day that they're dominating US Markets and the Revs are coming.  Our lady friend also bought 600K shares in ARKK on 9/22.

Their customer acquisition costs are really high. Lots of marketing and bonuses.

I’m sticking with the shares I got in the mid 30s. It’s up nice so far and is some exposure but the gambling thing reminds me of the pot stocks where initially people were acting like everyone and their moms would be toking up. I think some of those stocks will do well but the initial market caps were based on crazy TAM projections. I feel kind of the same way on gambling stocks where analysts think every fan will be betting in game with the TAM. There’s a bunch that went up a ton but will all succeed and after these bonuses go away will they capture all those bettors as real clients.

:lol:   I give it the "70's+ dad" test.  If he knows about it, it's worth considering a buy.  If he uses it, back the f'n truck up!  I'll never forget the day my dad tried to explain to me what gummies are and feelings it gives him.  Or how he could bet on Badgers football and golf without having to go to Vegas.   

Should add that I haven't owned a pot stock since 2018-19???  This was 2015-16 when I got the gummies story.  Don't think I'll ever buy one again.

The trade was working, just got caught up in bad timing with the China news.  Then again China news popping up at the wrong time is always a risk w/ crypto trades.

I don't necessarily disagree, but the dollar amounts wagered on the black markets especially during major events like the Super Bowl had to have dwarfed what was being spent on weed in the black market, right?  

A friend of mine names Admiral Moutard used to buy an ounce of weed for $300 in the olden days.  It would last him 2 months easily.  Same fella would burn through $300 on a Sunday.  Every Sunday in the fall.  Saturdays too.  

Now Moutard can grow an ounce of weed for free and still loses the same on football only it's way way way easier now to lose!  

This might not mean anything, really.

With how prices are plummeting right now in Oregon, dispensaries are able to buy a pound of killer greenhouse for $300-500, and indoor for $600-$900. This would have been double that rate even three months ago.  

Funny how times have changed. In college, ounces went for $300 and were sold for $50 per eighth. Classic story of supply and demand.

I legitimately have no idea how to respond. I feel like I’m in a grass field and an alien ship lands in front of me. An alien comes out and his left hand looks like a blaster of some sort but his mouthful of shark teeth appears to be smiling. In a deep growl he says bleep bloop. Do I pull my rifle out and start shooting or do I shake his claw? Yep, just like that, I’m at a total loss.

Today, I shake his claw, french kiss him and beg him to shoot me.

 
Healthcare newsletter I subscribe to. I was down on Teladoc.  Virtual care will maintain for mental health but otherwise people are going back to see doctors in offices. 
 

“I was curious about the performance of Teladoc Health stock since announced its acquisition of Livongo for $18.5 billion in August 2020. Shares are down 30% versus the Dow’s 27% increase, with the company’s market capitalization now being barely more than the acquisition price of what was touted to be a $37 billion merger (the company is now worth $21 billion). TDOC shares are 56% off their 52-week high. The company lost $134 million in Q2.”

 50 for an 1/8?  Where? Maybe like Lincoln Nebraska.

It was $40 for an eighth in Oregon ever since I moved here in '96.  No seeds or stems, good bud.  They grow some amazing stuff out here.  

But yeah, now you can get solid flower for like $10 or less 1/8.  I was buying ounces of shake for $50 to cook with.  It's bananas out here.

😅 The farm I'm working with is trying to unload their remaining inventory of last seasons crop for $200 per POUND. B buds, but still.

Utilization and satisfaction of telemedicine has remained high according to the neurosurgeon associations I work with. These guys aren't GP's, so maybe both can be true.

Wow!  Well, if you ever need to off-load some, I'm around.  I just making butter and coconut oil with it these days with an occasional hand-rolled joint for old-time's sake.
