I've been wanting to buy MGM since it was at 9.15.  Do you think it heads down to 10 again?

My target when I loaded up on puts was $12 but if earnings are bad and Vegas shuts down again (seems like it’s an possibility at this point) then it would not surprise me at all.

Long term I like the casino stocks. I’m hoping to roll the profits into shares so we’ll probably jump in around the same time lol. 

I think Wynn and LVS will recover quicker though because of their Macau properties. MGM does as well but I'm not a big fan of their moves over the last few years (even though they own a large percentage of the REIT) to free up cash to invest in Japan. I've also heard anecdotally that visitors have by far been the most impressed with how Wynn has handled this covid-19 stuff.

I sold today.  I had gotten up to 80 stocks I was following and/or invested in.  This isn't a growth stock, it's not a day trader, there's not much history, and I had nothing else in the sector to rotate between (I'll shift weighting back and forth between sys, dfs, and mfa based on daily movement changes relative to each other).  Took my 10% and moved on.

 
Hate to say it, but GDDY looks to be a buy  $68 current price

Dumped out of a bunch of stuff this morning.  Just feels like another reckoning is on the horizon in the near term.  I hadn’t realized how much I made on a bunch of my ETFs like QQQ — those things have had a pretty sick run up in the past 6 months.  As someone noted above, battening down the hatches. 

 
So we should have another round of stimulus coming sooner than later.... as soon as the WH stops demanding #### like "schools must open" as a condition. 
 

What other tricks will we see to keep the Market up? Forbes had an article on the Fed buying equities? 

 
The Treasury is sitting on a cash reserve of 1,700,000,000,000 waiting for the green light from Congress to unleash it and flood markets with liquidity. 

I would expect that will have an impact on markets.

And although the markets may react to delays in formulating the next stimulus, once it’s passed it will cycle back.

bumpy ride ahead imo

I definitely do not think this is the right decision at this point but good luck. 

 
Smart sounding dude on CNBC making some compelling arguments (dumb version: they are much more than and great car maker) to just say F' it and buy more Tesla.

Chamath Palihapitiya is awesome.  I don't really agree with a lot of he says, but he's obviously a lot smarter than me.  That said, TSLA bulls are the best bulls.  They all think this company is going to a trillion+

That was the guy. Really long interview, anyone they give that much time to is going to be a skilled speaker, but he was great.

I was ready to drop 50k on some Tesla halfway through.

I could easily see it hitting a trillion+.   I said it before in this thread.. Best product in the sector created and run by one of the greatest minds on the planet.  I think eventually Tesla could end up being far more than a car company.  People forget that originally amazon sold books and that apple only made pc's.   Tesla has already vastly interrupted the automotive industry in such a brief timeline. I think the sky is the limit for this stock in the next 5-10 years--but I also think that Tesla will be a far different and more sprawling company in 10 years.   Elon thinks big and he's one of the best at making grandios thoughts into realities.

There’s absolutely no denying this.  But when he thinks big and has his next idea that might possibly make Tesla “more than  a car company,” there’s just as likely a chance that it’s simply spun off into his next Tesla/SpaceX/PayPal than it is initiated under Tesla’s umbrella.

I think the market is probably going to hit some turbulence soon--and there could be a moderate drop--but long term it will go up.  Nobody should be over exposed to the market--but I wouldn't jump out if you are a long term investor.  This country has made it abundantly clear that it disproportionately caters and benefits the investment class at the expense of the working class.  Our country is falling apart and our government is more concerned with stock prices than anything else.  I don't see this changing anytime soon.   Sure--that doesn't guarantee that every day is an up day and there will be corrections--but if covid showed us anything--it showed us that our governments primary focus is protecting and rising the markets.   It's greedy and dirty as hell--but it's just reality.

That's true--but he could easily add a subscription model to Tesla where he charges monthly fees for certain upgrades..etc.  Once Tesla establishes enough market share--and its growing in that respect--at some point--there will be lots of avenues for him to create more revenue streams even staying in the umbrella of automaking.    The cybertruck will disrupt the market and the truck sector is something that Tesla hasn't even touched yet.

While true on Amazon and Apple, they had already spread out and were making money in streaming, selling everything, AWS, iPods, iPhones, etc. way before they hit $1T. Tesla appears to be on the road for that and right now, they just sell cars and their solar ambition appears to be nowhere.

I just think Tesla is way overpriced for where they are. IMHO at this price, perfection into other arenas baked in already. That's what would worry me about buying into it now.

What's the argument against putting a nice chunk in retirement? I mean 12% on the DE alone, never mind what looks like a stable stock price.

They’re a good midstream play IMO although somewhat tied to more oil weighted plays so commodity pricing does have an impact more than some like WMB.  Overall they can cover their dividend and have done so for a good while.  I’ve got some in my portfolio mostly for the dividend but believe there’s room for the stock price to stretch its legs as an added bonus.

What you stated is the big reasons I chose this one.  Its down over 60% year to date and I think that is mostly attributable to CV.  I think it has room to grow from where it is now, and the 12% dividend is a nice bonus.  

I don't fully understand things, admittedly.  It was trading up $.75 pre-market and then opened red, and dropped from there.  I'm not too worried about the day to day stock price, as I do think its going to be fairly stable, but I was not expecting a red opening today.

Yeah it’s down 5% since I purchased but I’m not concerned.  I may buy more if I see a dip down into mid 20s, but regardless of price this one is in the set it and forget it basket unless it moons up to 50+ in the near future.

Is it really that far ahead of its competitors here? Same question on autonomous driving as I know other automakers have also been investing in that.

Yes- by a mile. The main complaint on Tesla is not the vehicle or driving experience- it’s the delays in parts or servicing. The vast majority of people that get a Tesla absolutely become married to the brand.

 
All EDV does is go up. I wonder how much this is attributable to DIY investors buying this ETF as part of the All Weather portfolio that siffoin mentioned and/or professional money managers doing the same for their clients.

I appreciate you saying this.  Makes me feel pretty good about my process of choice here.

I am still up a little bit from purchase, but as you say, I am not too worried about it.  I need to remove from  the watch list and just set an alert in case it soars up.

In fairness, I'm also doing it in part because we're looking to buy a second home and need some extra cash on hand for down payment and closing.  So it's money I was considering pulling out of the market anyway.  But yeah, with the stimulus checks drying up, and Q2 and Q3 bloodbath starting to hit, I dunno, I just think another shock is due....

Yes, certainly getting a similar "cult" feel to the brand like 15 years ago when people wanted to put Apple stickers on everything. I haven't bought a car in years so really have no idea.

 
The yellow rock making a charge towards 1900, I expect it take a breather and maybe pullback soon. It appears the miners are trading in anticipation of this.

 
If you told me GOLD was at 29 when the futures hit 1900 a month ago, I would've disagreed and said $31-$32... A little disappointed this isn't 10% higher. Nonetheless, I can't complain, but I do anyways.

Not to get political, but the people CV impacted the most are not the same people who invest in the market.  Meaning - the money is there, people are just moving it around to other stocks.

Not to be too general, but is anyone buying anything?  I find myself wanting to take profits.  For example, I have made 20% in CAT and feel there’s more likelihood it retreats to the 120s than go towards the 140s.
