hopefully they EXCEL for youI feel like I’ve joined the big boy club today. Bought my first ever shares of MSFT. A whopping 5 shares.
About 1k, or 2.5% of my Roth. I think I may have just been bloodied enough between this and tankers to finally learn my lesson. #famouslastwordshope you didn't buy a large amt
When @stbugs is complaining that he’ll have to retire at 53 instead of 52 because his amazon stock is only up1% on the day, people need to listen to the gems he’s dropping in here. Lvgo up 10% in a daystbugs said:@BassNBrew Another stock on my June 4th post (DXCM was on there too) is going to have a nice day. FLGT announced after hours that the FDA cleared their at-home CV testing. Up 18% AH. No idea what that will translate to in the morning.
Sorry, 2050. IRAs are in 2045.How did you get access to the 2045 L fund already? I thought they weren't available until July.
I've started playing with the idea of retiring in my early 50s now, starting to think I really need to kick my regular brokerage up a notch. We're currently over 80% between TSP and Roth IRAs, 15% college accounts, less than 5% regular brokerage.
I’m sitting on about 10% of my portfolio. At a 20% dividend rate someone will take notice as earnings season approachesSpeaking of weening losers, is anyone still holding onto tankers? That opportunity turned out to be another ship full of turds.
Which ones have these crazy dividends?I’m sitting on about 10% of my portfolio. At a 20% dividend rate someone will take notice as earnings season approaches
And they gave guidance suggesting it would go upDHT is like 25%
I am. I'll go down with that ship. Just kidding. Although not sure who you use but the large dividends will likely make performance look worse on a pure price basis. I think my cost basis across accounts on EURN is ~$10.50. but the company has or is going to pay (already went ex-dividend on $0.81 dividend) ~$1.10 in dividends. So in reality, my cost basis is ~$9.40. Not great but not as bad as the 20% price decline would dictate.Speaking of weening losers, is anyone still holding onto tankers? That opportunity turned out to be another ship full of turds.
Lol. It’s been a great year so far. Up about 35% across my brokerage accounts (80% of total), not including today, compared to about -4% for S&P. I just got off a long call so haven’t looked since the bell. I only hope it keeps rolling and I know it will stop at some point.When @stbugs is complaining that he’ll have to retire at 53 instead of 52 because his amazon stock is only up1% on the day, people need to listen to the gems he’s dropping in here.

That’s crazy high. Worth sitting in them for that alone. Even if the stocks do nothing.Dht 25%
fro 36%
Eurn 13%
Yeah, although there are rabbit turds like INSW with dividends of %1.27. Not sure why I had that in my basket, at least Fro had a massive dividend.That’s crazy high. Worth sitting in them for that alone. Even if the stocks do nothing.
Are they actually paying that? How long can that possibly last?That’s crazy high. Worth sitting in them for that alone. Even if the stocks do nothing.
No clue. These might be special payouts due to the huge premiums they got when there was nowhere to put the extra oil.Are they actually paying that? How long can that possibly last?
For now, right? Right?TTD and FSLY are flying. My biggest mistake in all this was lightening my TTD. We discussed it earlier in the dip. It was a really big amount of my portfolio, kind of more than I was comfortable with so I sold a bunch at $234, kept 110 shares. It’s at $392 right now, SMH. I did invest most of that so not a total miss, just didn’t think it would blow up. I remember watching it hit $270 on 5/27 and I was tempted to buy more to save face and didn’t.
FSLY and ZM are definitely my best purchases. Both up 250% since November/March (2 lots) and October. Went from less than 2% of my overall portfolio to over 5%. Blows away CYDY.
Meh, with all the tax issues, I'd rather they just buy back shares. I think INSW paid down ~$30mn+ in debt and bought back $10mn in shares vs $1mn in dividends so still returned to you, just not directly.Yeah, although there are rabbit turds like INSW with dividends of %1.27.

How awesome would it be for a stock to come out with the symbol TURD. I would buy it.Yeah, although there are rabbit turds like INSW with dividends of %1.27. Not sure why I had that in my basket, at least Fro had a massive dividend.
I hope so. I’m hanging in there for the phase 3 results. Imagine if they blow the doors off of that steroid and they uplist. It’s not out of the question to think it could easily double in a few sessions. I really, really hope it blows the other two away. I’m amazed those two still have some legs. FSLY is one I think long term will be really solid. ZM too, but not quite the same upside just based on market cap. Kind of like how I love Amazon but it doesn’t have the same upside. Not planning to sell it yet, but it can’t triple in half a year anymore, as far as I know.For now, right? Right?
Maybe a class D share of this? https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/TUR?p=TUR&.tsrc=fin-srchHow awesome would it be for a stock to come out with the symbol TURD. I would buy it.
The old man is talking into his phone again...User error. User error.
If they get listed and get good phase 3 results they will way, way, way more than double and in less than one session in this market.I hope so. I’m hanging in there for the phase 3 results.

Well that is the billion dollar question. So I think those rates are 1Q annualized. DHT's TTM dividend rate is 13%. They've paid $0.67 in dividends this year and paid $0.20 in dividends all of last year. They target a 60% earnings payout so their dividends are variable so don't think of it like a megacap dividend where it stays constant or grows. These things bounce around a ton. That said, 2Q is shaping up to be their best quarters on record. So you could see a dividend that is 10%+ the current stock price. These CEOs seem like a fickle bunch and given uncertainty, I'd be surprised if they keep payouts so high. But the cash still accrues to the company. Maybe you lose some interest with a lower dividend but at these rates, the company isn't being compensated for it so might as well pay down debt and buy back shares.Are they actually paying that? How long can that possibly last?
As long as the revenue flows. Those rates are based on 1Q which didn't have the benefit of the increased spot rates. 2Q will be monster earnings. I read one of these companies quarterly report in detail. The pretty much had the 2Q results banked well ahead of 1Q based on bookings alone. The other interesting nugget was that more shipping capacity was going end of life than new builds in the next several years due to COVID.Are they actually paying that? How long can that possibly last?
Guess the goal is to atleast make what the total market is making. It doesn't look like it has done that, but again I am so new to this so dividends didn't mean much to me. Still lots to learn.McBokonon said:Depends on your goal. I just brought up JNJ and the others from the top of my head in the context of defensive stocks with good dividends.

In for a measly 250 shares. @ $5.60And they gave guidance suggesting it would go up
Giddy upGot on the SE train a couple weeks ago. I would have never heard of this. Thanks @McBokonon and whoever else was hyping that.
More FBG magic!
same here. saw OZ and McBokonon mention it too. crazy the jump. saw on stocktwits today someone posted an expected drop of 3-10 before the next climb and i was excited so i could grab some more, but don't look like that's happening. I hate buying something at i ATH, but there may not be too many chances to get in even at this rate...Got on the SE train a couple weeks ago. I would have never heard of this.

Hoping to see this pop when sports opens up a bit more. Looks like a steady interest from the RH crowd as they approach 22K holders - currenty #300 on RobintrackYounger investors are already showing an affinity for BETZ, particularly those on the popular Robinhood app. Last Friday was merely the second day of trading for BETZ, but when markets closed that day, more 8,600 Robinhood users were holding the rookie ETF.

It depends on the sector and cash flow profile of the company. Also, are you talking market cap equity or balance sheet equity? I'd focus on market cap equity. Or a lot of folks will look at debt to enterprise value (LTV - loan to value). Anything trading at 80% plus LTV, meaning 80% of the enterprise value is tied up in the debt, is probably very risky. I'd say something like a 50% LTV (debt = market cap) is fairly good. Obviously some of the runners like TSLA and NFLX will have ridiculously low LTVs so wouldn't advise looking at it by itself.Can someone explain what a good/bad debt to equity percentage is?
I'm in too after watching for 2 months.

Update?Hi. I am back. $CYDY #notselling
Dr. Patterson wil be interviewed on Yahoo Finance shortly after 1pm EST--in other words very soon.
Basically the same story they have been putting out there for the past month or so. Leronlimab is a triple threat with no adverse effects. Still very positive and upbeat which seems like a great sign because I have to think he has seen preliminary data from the ongoing trials. Also spoke about the adverse effects of steroids.Update?
I use StockSpyWhat app do you guys recommend to keep track of your stonks on your phone? I actually prefer one that allows manual inputs and doesn't need to be linked to accounts.
The ATH purchase does feel like you are getting suckered but at some point you just make the plunge. I do tend to watch those a lot closer.same here. saw OZ and McBokonon mention it too. crazy the jump. saw on stocktwits today someone posted an expected drop of 3-10 before the next climb and i was excited so i could grab some more, but don't look like that's happening.

For reference, AMC has a market cap of ~$600mn, $5bn in debt and and $300mn in cash. So it's enterprise value is $5.3bn and it's LTV (net-debt to EV) is 89% and its debt trades at $0.40 cents on the dollar.
