Old! Without getting to specific, about your age +- a few years. I’m pretty sure your oldest is a sophomore at college like mine. Not “close” to retirement but very much thinking and planning for it. This year got me out of the hole of man do I need more than I have. Not compared to the average American, but trying to make sure I’ve got enough to be very comfortable in retirement and lord willing leave a good chunk for my boys.

I've found this plus some of the posts at r/SPACs to be pretty helpful. Still, this is something that has grown quickly and there is a lot of information asymmetry here. That means you are going to have to do a lot yourself or trust in managers you believe in. That at least was my takeaway after looking into this space over the weekend.

HGEN announced their NIH-funded "Big Effect Trial" with remdesivir is launching. Should provide a bit of a stock price pop.

Not the best press release when Abbvie’s drug is in the same test and it gets top billing. It’s too bad they had to tie it to Remdesivir instead of being solo. Not surprising that HC Wainwright initiated coverage nicely since they co-managed their recent stock offering (Link).
Looks like a pop this morning but about where it was on Monday.

I see ROTH in there too. They have a $25 price target. That’s the extent of their analyst coverage that I can see.

Took a little $FVRR off this morning. Only about 9% each but enough to add to others or start a new position. These are both still in my top 5 holdings by value. Not opposed to replacing on a pullback, not opposed to averaging up later.I trimmed a little $SE to get it DOWN to only 15% of our portfolio.

Big thanks to whoever posted about NIO, up 322% since I bought in on 6/4!
Early June was a great buy in point for almost anything “tech” related, including alternative energy/EV type stuff. My only solar stock (SEDG) is more than double since 6/4. Tesla has almost tripled and pulled the rest of those EV stocks with it. The only thing down is NKLA and that’s due to the CEO stepping down due to controversy.

I think if there is a CYDY sell off in the next couple of days (already starting), some of that money will get invested in HGEN.CGRdrJoe said:Bought back 1500 of hgen at 12.73, had another buy set at 12.70stupid greed should have just bought it all at 12.73
I know some of mine did.
I'm hoping I can get through this week without a big pullback, but I feel like it's coming. Not just AMZN, but tech in general. AMZN is something I have no intention to sell. It's had a nice run this year, but they've got a much firmer floor than say ZM and I feel pretty good about their future. I'm glad I sold 300 of my 417 FSLY yesterday at $135 and I do think I'm looking for some others to trim a bit.

Keeping FSLY because it's in my taxable acct, and it's one I could see holding long-term (which is why I bought it there in the first place). Still fence riding on trimming some DOCU. Might wait for the ZM earnings bump.

Yeah, I got ZM, OKTA, MDB and APPN all hitting 1 year on Friday in my taxable account. ZM is the one I’m thinking of trimming the most because it’s up a lot. I wouldn’t have sold FSLY if it wasn’t in my IRA with no tax implications. I don’t like the idea of selling anything but I also don’t want to be caught with my pants down and get hosed by Biden. His plans seem worrisome for capital gains.Keeping FSLY because it's in my taxable acct, and it's one I could see holding long-term (which is why I bought it there in the first place).

I waited and decided not to buy WFC and go long on it. I think my TD money market account may earn a better rate over time.

Banks are very undervalued right now, but I think it will be a while before sentiment changes. If you're going to play in the sector I think your best bet would be to hold something with a higher dividend and write calls against it. Get paid to wait because eventually the Fed will let banks buy back stock again and the sector has a ton of capital/will earn back against the earlier provision build.
ING has drifted down towards $7 again. It's bounced between $7 and $8 the last serval months. Takes a look at their last quarter results. https://www.ing.com/Investor-relations/Financial-performance/Quarterly-results.htm
It looks like they are holding dividends in reserve until 2021. PE is around $8.

Their revenue and earnings are on a downward trend. 2018 revenue and earnings were less than 2017, 2019 was less than 2018 and 2020 looks to be on pace to be worse than 2019. Q2 earnings were actually negative. Holding dividends sure doesn’t give me a warm fuzzy either. If you are short term trading then that’s different. I, personally, wouldn’t invest in them. I’m more growth oriented than trying to guess value and hope for a turn around.

I believe that negative includes a loss provision reserve. Actually I'm only seeing a negative on the wholesale banking side. Income compared to last year was identical. Holding dividends is a EJU regulatory thing.
I'm trying to find stocks with a high floor where the financials look good. Fidelity has them high rated on that aspect.

I would assume so. The press release said "due to the uncertain geopolitical environment" which would make sense with Tik Tok's looming USA ban.

Must suck to own a stock a banana republic like the USA can torpedo because it ruined your rally attendance

Because ETF's.
CRWD getting dinged, too, adding a few more there but I'm about maxed out on that name for awhile.

Lots of tech getting dinged on the FSLY news.
In CRWD's case though CEO just made a big sale of some of his stock is why I think that one is dropping more.
McBokonon
Footballguy
I saw that and that's what actually made me add a few more. People overreact to insider selling, always acting like they're doing it because there's serious financial peril but there's a ton of other reasons someone might do it, like they have a ton more and the thing has tripled in six months.

Exactly. They sell for estate planning, they sell because of a nasty divorce. They sell for lots of reasons, but they only buy because they think the stock is undervalued.

2. The sales reported in this Form 4 were effected pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan adopted by the reporting person.
In theory, they were scheduled.
