Nice.  My budget doesn't allow for that type of investment until I divest from some Blmn and the stock we shall not speak of.

Rolled the CYDY/onion/DFS profit plus a little extra into something more stable for a while. Was sick of constantly updating my Fidelity account to see if I was losing everything 😂. 

 
Well, I can drop out of this thread for a while. 3.5 more shares of Amazon @2999.99 triggered my limit and I’m out of money to buy anything. Will trim some at 3150.

Buying more F, hoping it can bounce off of the 50 day.  Not sure if there is any juice left in the Bronco reveal next week.

Out a bit early, but 20% in 2 weeks seems nice.   May look for another low spot after the earning call next week.

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.

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.

Just added a position to my Roth after doing a little research.  They've consistently grown the dividend since 2012, but there's obviously a risk they cut it at some point.  But even a 50% cut leaves a 6% yield, although that would obviously ding the stock price.  But seems like some upside potential as well, and if they do hold the dividend this becomes a real compounder.

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.

Economy looks very soft, so lots of money going into long bonds - rates go down, price goes up. I have a good bit of TLT and it's been good for me.

Which ticker are you talking about?  I missed the first discussion.

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.

Take it to the CYDY thread.

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.

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

"Buy low" is only half the equation to successful investing, GB.

 
VBI in the 5.4x.  I've consistently been picking it up here and selling in the 5.80-6.20 range.

 
Is anyone else tired of "The Motley Fool" adds on you tube?  Their latest pitch is for some technology/company that will amount to 35 amazons... but you have to pay the subscription fee to get the details.  Their ads are just annoying.

Looks like AAPL at least got a report from Goldman saying it was overvalued.  Knew I wasn't crazy.  Some of these prices are just insane.

They've always been for decades now, once upon a time I really liked them but they quickly morphed into a lot of other websites with clickbait ads and trying to sell memberships instead of good advice. They also have major survivorship bias - i.e. they've recommended almost every stock at some point or another in their past so they can point to the winners and say look how smart we were!

I use them and it’s been really good results so far. My ROI is crazy, like making 70x what I paid on the stock recs. I wouldn’t subscribe to everything as they do have a lot of overlap. They have done very well compared to the S&P and there are a bunch of stocks I own that I might never have owned otherwise. I never heard of TTD or FSLY or LVGO or TWLO and I’m up 80% to over 100% on all of them in the past year or past month with LVGO. LVGO could have been up 400% if I bought when recommended. I disagree with the survivorship comment because every service I’ve used has a set list of stocks. They do have a lot of ancillary articles (ads) on stocks that aren’t in their services but the services tend to be 20-30 stocks and that’s it 

Anyway, I agree that I get a lot of ads too but I think part of that is because I used to click on the links before. I just wish I had the money I have now just a few years ago as the stocks I own now were even bigger bargains a few years ago when first recommended.

 
In TQQQ @ 109.8 because rebound and incoming something or other to fight a market dip. 
 

Oh and Stonks go up.

Glad to see someone still uses and like them, I should have qualified my comments as I hadn't used them in like a decade so things may be very different.

As I said, I used to like them but the sell, sell, sell aspect turned me off. Their message boards used to be a small step-up from yahoo but its been years since I've used those either. The survivorship bias still creeps in, they built their business during the dotcom boom by differentiating and publicly displaying their returns and picks but after the bubble burst when things started to lag or underperform they discontinued publishing the public data for obvious reasons. They also shuttered some of their different online newsletters and funds when they lagged just like other subscription investing services when they didn't do well. This was really bad during the market downturn in 2008~2010 which is one reason I stopped using them.

Not sure what that means, but I had 2 different funding level goals for the end of the month. I'm really close to both (total NW and "FI number"), but with the drop it isn't looking good today.  Not a big deal, but I was hoping to make it.

It’s been said that once tech starts dropping, watch out. Will be interesting to see if that holds true or not.

More analysts seem to be alerting folks about the high values of some of these shares.  Target prices for apple over $100 less per share than where they are now.  Still in bull territory in general, but man a bear market seems appropriate given what's going on. Perhaps some signs from congress that they'll be tightening up the distribution of benefits next time is causing a little pullback, who knows.

So you recommend the Motley Fool?  For $99 per year it's not a crazy amount of money to give it a try.

I like Motley Fools podcast and they are a pretty good outfit. I don't subscribe to anything but would pay for Morningstar and Motley Fool.

FWIW, you can usually get their crazy picks with a creative google search.  I believe last year it was ANET
