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.Tesla appears to have closed at 695 but Schwab still has it at 658. What a rollercoaster.
Musk says hold my beer Bezos.TSLA just ran every AMZN truck off the road
Dang it. Had my sells set at $699, so $4 too high. Looks like that miss cost me $150. Total shot in the dark.Tesla appears to have closed at 695 but Schwab still has it at 658. What a rollercoaster.
Banks are going to go on a share buyback frenzy now that the Fed has greenlighted them to do so. JPM already announced a $30B buyback to start 2021 Q1

Always fund the Roth as early as you can with as much as you-OZ- said:Thanks to those commenting about holding cash. I've been debating whether to invest the "extra" money in our savings or to hold until the new year and be able to max the Roth IRA or both immediately. I've been feeling like I should invest now, but holding a bit of cash feels okay when you smart guys are holding a whole lot more than I am right now. (I'm still not totally sure if I'll drop the $12k immediately or DCA it throughout the year)
No point if you're going to hold it in cash.Always fund the Roth as early as you can with as much as you
Thanks for the heads up earlier. I got in at .86. I love to tail insider buying.Big League Chew said:$NMTR looking decent

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.My neighbor is a broker and he mentioned to me he has a client who asked him to put all his money into NNDM. I think he was trying to talk him out of that, but thought that was a ballsy call. I don't know anything about the stock and don't plan on investing in it but intrigued to watch it. I think it's another ARK tail, but not positive about that. From a quick look, looks like a lot of red flags.
Same. Why notThanks for the heads up earlier. I got in at .86. I love to tail insider buying.
I sold half my Amazon and purchased PLTR todaybeef said:Was really hoping the downgrade to PLTR would drop the price more. I want to double my position in this.
I got stripped of avatars in the last ban. Good to see you, too.No Krusty?
Good to see you around.
Sold $CERT for a nice little trade and decided to start a long term position in $SDGR instead. Similar but seems better.Up 25% on my $CERT already, CEO just got on CNBC and talked about it, did a good job. I'll add again around earnings unless this thing really takes off.
ETA: just got halted
At the moment I could be said to be both buying and not buying this.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.Except it’s ready to immediately deploy if you see an opportunity
Great call on BEEM. I wish I would have had the balls to stay in.General Malaise said:BEEM keeping me Green.
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!Great call on BEEM. I wish I would have had the balls to stay in.General Malaise said:BEEM keeping me Green.
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.Same.

Even with 7 years from retirement we need to invest like the money will last 47+ years.Yeah, being only 7-12 years from retirement @-OZ- will ensure any stock I suggest might not be relevant because you're getting close to the capital preservation zone, but if you know you can fully fund the ROTH immediately just do it and then make your picks as appropriate.
But you're not THAT old so I say put half in something you believe in now and the rest after an event. Timing is a trader thing.
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.401k vs Roth is the oldest argument in the book. If you're even thinking about it you are probably going to be OK. Get the match if you have it. Enjoy the Roth while you can.

SPHB - Recent Tom Lee suggestion and it makes sense to me, but may not run for a while, especially if we see a Q1 correction
CRSP - (this thing is a rocket ship...every smart science/doctor guy I know wont shut up about it)
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.I assumed everyone here trading stocks is doing so with money they can afford to lose.

That makes sense, although you're almost treating trading as a job. Albeit, one you seem to enjoy.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.
I'm limited to $7000 total. Probably should be doing the Roth, but the traditional helps blunt the income tax burden. While some poke fun at a $15 win, doing it once a day essentially increases that $7000 by 50%
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.I've been putting in a lot of time looking for my next plays...I'll be taking positions in the following early next week.

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.Same. I like the idea too, just not enough news/sales to make me comfortable with the risks vs other opportunities.

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.I've been putting in a lot of time looking for my next plays...I'll be taking positions in the following early next week.

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.Love CRSP. Bought a nice chunk of it in March at $44.

SPHB looks like a reopening play, basically, right?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.
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.My neighbor is a broker and he mentioned to me he has a client who asked him to put all his money into NNDM. I think he was trying to talk him out of that, but thought that was a ballsy call. I don't know anything about the stock and don't plan on investing in it but intrigued to watch it.

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 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.
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.Even with 7 years from retirement we need to invest like the money will last 47+ years.
