Yeah I mean fundamentals went out the window on GME a long time ago.  This is strictly a trading vehicle, with a whole bunch of regular people trying to get together and manipulate the market like an institution would and burn out shorts.

I have no position because I'm not crazy, but honestly I'm kind of glad to see it working.  This kind of garbage happens 10 times a week from institutions and no one bats an eye, so I'm not going to cry for them if they get run over.

It's easy to spot too, the same people are doing the same thing to BBBY.  Every time GME hits a halt, all of the buyers go to BBBY and it starts squeezing.

Yep, it’s amazing that the SEC lets this level of manipulation happen (on both sides). I’m just glad last year went so well because I’m not tempted to join these games. I’m not spending the time necessary to know when to jump in and jump out. I know I’d be the one getting crushed.

GME is halted at $72, this is an incredible story unfolding

I am glad that guy at Citron Research is getting owned though, seems like a tool

I own a good amount of GME. It has been halted a few times, it feels shady. It is now 62.

In FUBO and PLTR but long term so not even paying attention. Wish I bought more of PLTR when I did in the 21s.

PLTR is a LT hold for me. But if you are trading it, the lock up expiration is Feb 4. I'm kind of skeptical of this run being manufactured to fatten up the sp ahead of the expiration. Not really sure if that's a thing, but the timing seems right. You might have another chance at the 21's or lower in a few weeks.

I think we’ll have a few more lower chances coming up. The market is ridiculously frothy and if there’s any loss of confidence there will be a nice dip. Think about how much new money/RH/Reddit/day trading started in March/April when sports stopped and stimulus started. It’s been free money since that time so all these new investors haven’t even seen much of a drop. The late February/March dip happened first.

It’s funny but I enjoy market days like today. Up a little but beating the market which is down.

 
I've been super busy with work and vacation planning but here is an update on my transactions

Sold all my crypto at pretty substantial gains last week and then just rebought yesterday during the plummet.(more ETH vs BTC this time due to Tom Lee's 10k call)

Still holding SI, IPOE, DKNG

Just bought a fair amount of VGAC Branson SPAC  (mostly based on Twitter rumors it will merge with Virgin orbit and then go into ARK Space ETF)  if all of that happens we are talking about a 4 bagger...but this is pure speculation so it is gambling.

A couple Motley Fool services, FinTwit (Twitter, basically), TD Ameritrade and Schwab analyst reports, Seeking Alpha, thefly.com, and I'm completing a course on Udemy that will, among other things, provide me tools to perform financial models myself.

 
Which Motley Fool services are the good ones?

They seem to have become a bit of a self fulfilling prophecy.  Foo recommends a stock, and it blows up because...Fool recommended it.

I use Stock Advisor and Rule Breakers - I'm not sure I'll renew next year but I got them cheap to try out. They've put some good ones on my radar - wouldn't have $CRWD, $ETSY, $FVRR, or $PINS at the entry points I do without them. You don't have to go with every selection.

Yes, when they announce a pick there's always a spike, but it's "usually" a one day phenomenon.

This is a stock price so out of whack with reality it is amazing. It’s not one of those $30M market cap companies that has $1B traded in one day that is so small it’s easy to manipulate. That said there’s no reason stocks can’t be manipulated if people coordinate their bids and asks and there are more than enough day traders on that thread.

140% of the stock float is shorted.  Massive short squeeze.

What I'm wondering is how in the world can you get over 100% of the float shorted.

I have a couple others (targeted like 5G) and those two. Been fantastic and definitely stocks I’d never know about. I’m sure I have spent more than I expected but here’s an example of why I’ve been happy with everything I’ve subscribed to:

CRNC - $24k gain

BILI - $8600 gain

FTCH - $5800 gain

SPT - $5500 gain

Those are stocks I never would have bought. I also have the ZM and TDOC more well known ones I’ve bought at well and most times the first rec was early. My ROI is ridiculous with them (like 100x) and I haven’t even bought all the winners. I have canceled after the initial year and started a new one as I think the services get expensive after the initial year (core list doesn’t change much). SA and RB mentioned above those aren’t expensive at all. All way lower compared to 1% fees of a FA.

Unfortunately, I do think the past couple years were crazy and returns won’t be as large just beat the market. If you have a decent amount of money tied up in mutual funds and want a list of stocks to invest/diversify and beat the market, I think they are solid. Just remember that their ads are just that, they aren’t the services.

Also, I did offer to share a subscription before and got no takers. 3 of the stocks above came from that so didn’t mind.

I haven't found an update to this, he's seeing a return to that level?!

 
Trimmed some of the PLTR I bought last week. Would feel like an idiot if I got wiped out after refusing to sell on a +25% day. Hoping it can run even higher these next couple weeks.

 
SPY down 0.4% today and my account is up almost 5%.  4 out of the last 6 days at or near a 5% gain in a single day.  I freaking love this market.

I'm starting to buy a few SPY put lottos at the close each day just in case as a hedge.  Today was a good day to start that as SPY dropped almost a full point right at the close like 30 seconds after I'd bought the puts.

I hope this market never ends.  My wife and I are buying an investment property with some of the profits 0but I don't really want to take any of this money out.  This market is spitting out as much in a week as we'd make in a year on the property.

Almost at 1% up for all my stocks. I was happy when up a fraction so really happy considering where futures were before trading.

My largest non-TSP account gained enough for a decent date dinner. My house account gained enough for a cup of ☕ or a local🍺

 I'm far more 🤬 about only filling 30 damn shares of STMH

Share as in split the cost and share the login?  I'd probably be down for that.  I haven't done any of them in the past so I can get whatever new member pricing they have.

That was the fintech fortunes one? I remember watching the pitch video but not being super impressed. Also didn't have enough unallocated cash to get the money's worth.

I have been beating the S&P for a bit now, despite being 30-35% bonds.  That's a huge win in my book.

My poker account is up 6.5x since Neteller shut down and is now 10% of my total.  That's crazy.  Heck, it's up 175% since March.

Do any of you have a site that keeps track of options traffic. Someone mentioned otcshortreport.com for pink sheets. Are there any sites similar to that for the regular indexes? TIA

There are a lot of paid programs like cheddarflow or flowalgo that will give you realtime, highly sortable/filterable options buy/sell tracking.

 
ARKG  01/22/2021  Buy  TAKEDA PHARMACEUTICAL CO LTD  1,608,5150  .2513

That .2513 is the % of ETF.  Can't be right, can it?  Seems like it's missing a .0.

I think so. I wanted something else because of my wife’s rollover and had some other cash too. I have only been using them since 2019, but I have been dropping a service and adding a replacement to get some new ideas. Our stock portfolio has gotten big enough that keeping SA/RB and maybe 1 or 2 services going is well worth it. Way less than a FA would be.

On a side note, nice to have the rollover complete, I have everything at Fidelity now, two logins but still really nice.
