Hope I didn't sell too early, but made a very nice profit late. Every share I bought today sold for a profit. These I picked up at $638 and sold at $680 were really nice.
Dang it. Had my sells set at $699, so $4 too high. Looks like that miss cost me $150. Total shot in the dark.
Definitely an ARK tail, which at least makes it worth a look. I know nothing about them but see it come up on FinTwit a lot. That 5 year chart is terrible but I don’t know the story behind it.
Sold $CERT for a nice little trade and decided to start a long term position in $SDGR instead. Similar but seems better.
I treat my retirement accounts a bit different with no cash to speak of in them. Some bonds in two of the 4 accounts but not much. The IRAs are with M1, which intentionally makes me just automatically invest.
Same. I like the idea too, just not enough news/sales to make me comfortable with the risks vs other opportunities. Always wary of companies that small. Will be remain on the watchlist though, thanks GM!
Well, at least you probably made some coin. I bought in at about $11, and watched as it sunk a bit, when it got back up to $11-12, I bailed. Oops.
Even with 7 years from retirement we need to invest like the money will last 47+ years.
I assumed everyone here trading stocks is doing so with money they can afford to lose. Second assumption was this group could afford to do both. Maybe I'm wrong.
Nope. I'm personally trying to figure out how to claw out a retirement in 11-15 years and way behind. That's why I'm much more diversified than most here and take less risk.
That makes sense, although you're almost treating trading as a job. Albeit, one you seem to enjoy.
Saw CRSP as one of the larger positions in one of the ARK ETFs and started looking into it more. I'll tail this for sure. Same for SPHB if Lee likes it. I've developed quite the man crush on him.
It’s done fantastic, wish I bought but I would sell in a heartbeat now and wouldn’t think twice. I probably would have bailed in the 20s. There hasn’t really been any revenue coming through yet and I know it’s early but revenue has dropped the past couple years and their last 3 quarters were at their 2019 rate. Maybe they’ll explode but most of their press releases haven’t been actual sales.
Love CRSP. Bought a nice chunk of it in March at $44. Been a home run so far and it’s nice to hear it could keep rolling.
Yeah, I’ve been in and out over the past 8 months. As a result haven’t reaped the full rewards. It hasn’t ran like a lot of the other growth/disruptor plays so I think there’s value in the short and long.
FWIW, I just saw this mentioned as a watch for next week. It was recommended to only buy if it got into the $5-$6 range for a swing. I don't know anything about the company either.
I’m not sure I’m in the safe bucket. I think I could easily weather a 30% downturn knowing I have enough time but I’m 85% self directed. That 15% keeps growing due to contributions but is my only index/retirement year type investments. So far that’s worked wonders and honestly the stocks I invest in have been long term plays outside of a small amount. CYDY did get big and I’d call the $45k net well worth it but outside of SPACs and IPOs, I trade very little.
I am 100% with you there. My goal right now is to double my non-401k in 5 years while continuing to max our 401ks. Pre-2020, that goal was more like quadruple in 10 years. The 120% gain this year basically cut that in half. If I can double in 5, I’m done and my wife may continue to keep our healthcare costs reasonable. Using the 4% rule with the 401ks, doubling would get us to almost replacing our current income with SS. That would be an extremely comfortable retirement. I also don’t think I’d turn conservative at that point either. I don’t think I ever would. Once you get a big enough buffer you can stay the course and ride out/take advantage of downturns.
That's the next thing for us to figure out.
