I’m just going for it. I agree it will pull back after the announcement but that’s too much for me. 
Not to beat a dead horse and obviously I'm attempting to pick up dimes and nickels, but when you have 31% of your retirement portfolio in Amazon, you have to execute at an extremely high level to keep pace with the market.

No doubt. I unloaded some in the past few weeks to buy dkng and more Hgen, just trying to decide how much I want to put into play. 

 
Started a small position in ULTA last night. They report today after the close, so I'll likely add after that pretty much no matter what. Reopening play, sure, but I like their partnership with Target, and they can revisit their international expansion plans as we continue to open up. They've incorporated AR into their services and are now carrying CBD products - this is not a stagnant company.

It's a non-tech growth company to add to my tech-heavy portfolio, market cap is only $18.1 Billion so a ton of runway left. P/S is only around 3x. Bought some before earnings because I think they sandbagged guidance last time, but only bought some (which I usually do) in case there's a post-earnings pullback. I'm no technician but it also looks like they've formed a base over the last few years. 

Paint your faces, ladies. Giddy up.
Beat everything and raised guidance. Nice move so far after hours.

I know you enjoy the joke but you’ll keep pace with the market. I’m like @Capella, it’s my safety net as well but in all honesty it will do very well the next few years. I’d wager a few racks with you that it will beat the market the next few years. Just look at the 5 year chart. Spent a while around $1000, shot to $2k over a few months. Spent over a year around $2k, shot to over $3k in a few months. Sitting a little above $3k for almost a year now. Leg up to over $4k could be right around the corner. Even though it’s in a consolidation period, it’s gone up 30% over the last year while the market is up 40%. That may look bad but it’s due to the dip the market took and 1 year going back to getting out of the dip. If you just go back to the start of 2020, Amazon is up 60% and the market is up 25%.

Anyway, I’m looking forward to the next leg up because it’ll be nice.

 
Mid-$250s is the point I move some, but that's just to get back to a full position. I'm a touch overweight*.

*I also own more CRM than I otherwise would.
Adding in Work I’m sitting at 7%. I would like to shave that down to about 5%.  Flat on Work and down 4% on CRM over 5 months.

The biggest position I have in any stock is 5%. That's DOCU, and it has grown to that. This is the most I've bought into 1 position, though. Right there with SQ. Probably about the same time as you, as i think I'm in a similar boat.

 
Kinda odd to advertise your funeral, tbh.
I feel 'sufficiently leveraged for my personal risk tolerance.'

When looking to buy puts on AMC, I felt the premium was too high.  Now that I am looking to sell them, the premium feels too low.  Clearly my judgment is biased, but I am expecting a fast crash back to 15 in the next week. I'm buckled in for the ride.

I too think AMC is overpriced on fundamentals, but I absolutely would love to see it continue to rocket. This is as much about sending a message to WallStreet to stop destroying things we love in our culture. The fact hedge funds max leveraged during the pandemic to try and bankrupt AMC and GME is sickening to me.

Taking their side on this fight is not being "excellent" from where I sit. Forget the "tendies" for a minute. What kind of world do you want to live in? One without movie theaters? Invest in those companies that move the world/USA in the direction you want it to move in.

So when you crunch the math and come to the realization that this is overpriced, remember that a bunch of apes are likely never ever selling no matter what the price is. And you better hope that the reported short interest is close to what FINRA, etc are reporting, because if the apes are right, they may own the float in both of these companies.

I thought AMC was no where near the same as GME because AMC kept diluting. 

I think the Superstonk theory that hedgies are pumping AMC to get people to FOMO out of GME makes more sense.

Nice.  Bought CRM going into earnings two quarters back and have been underwater ever since.  It's a long term hold for me, so whatever, but would be nice to get that one out of the red column.

 
I may lighten some of my WORK load today.  Looks like the arbitrage has dropped to about 3% and holding WORK is like holding 60% cash.  

 
No problem. My GB has a 65" TV and surround sound, and we can pause the movie to get the lobster nachos out of the oven. And I'm old, imagine how twentysomethings feel.
I get it - I have a few badass systems in my house, but still prefer having movie theaters. I also still wish we had Blockbuster video and Toys R Us too even if I did not routinely go to these stores.

The theater business was doing fine. It wasn't a growth business, but it was stable before the pandemic. Shorting to take it out when they were forced to close for public safety is just being a jerk.

 
Boy, it sure would be wacky if we found out that hedge funds were also long GME/AMC in this war against hedge funds.
Of course. Not all hedge funds are jerks. This is whales vs whales with apes tagging along. This is a fight against the jerks that shorted companies we love due to the pandemic.

 
The General said:
Any RBLX folks in here still? 

Been on a steady run and getting good pub. Sold off a bit from my initial buy today and am wondering if there is any sentiment either way in here.
For sure I’m still RBLX, but if you want to just scoop profits at this point I totally get it. 
 

The momentum has not slowed down as far as users from what I see and people are pumping crazy money into items on there. Don’t bet against kids asking their parents to load more money on their iPads to do less parenting. JMO

Also, stuff like this is not sustainable, but wild regardless....

That's nuts.

I'm long RBLX but I don't have kids so I don't have any anecdotal experience. Is it possible for some celebrity influencer(s) to create their own game in Roblox and then promote it like crazy, or is that already done?

I gottta think the jerks are on both sides by now, making money on swings in either direction. I'd be stunned to learn otherwise.

AMC was performing poorly before the pandemic.  Their greedy executives are now lining their pockets with ape money before the lights go out.  I don't believe in anything being too big to fail.  AMC's demise will create an opportunity for a better organization to scoop up their assets at a discount and offer a better product/price to consumers.  As long as some demand for movie theaters exists, we will always have them around.

Developers pay youtubers that get 5m views per video to play their game online. That is basically a yes. Those people are celebs to my kids and everyone they know. For example, KarinaOMG

Makes sense. I was thinking if some star from a popular Disney show actually created their own game, too.

Without a doubt.  And the apes seem like the biggest jerks to me.  The narrative of sticking it to the greedy hedge funds for trying to destroy things they love is a total white knight angle.  The majority of the apes are driven by their own greed.  They are openly colluding to manipulate prices and they have no regard for fair value in a company.

How is holding, colluding? When you short 140+% of a stock, you deserve to die. Apes buy and hold. They are long-term investors just like Warren Buffet.

I have no problem at all with what they're doing but the bolded is what I always laugh about - there's some serious stock market cosplay going on over there.

Right, I can't fault anyone for trying to make money, whether they are on the same side as me or against.  But the phony sanctimonious talk really makes me want to see them end up holding long term bags.

edit:  I especially enjoy how they describe themselves as weary soldiers doing battle with the hedge funds.  When I read WSB, it feels like satire but apparently it isn't.  There really are a bunch of investors who compare stocks based on share price.  "This one only costs $2 per share, a way better deal than that other company at $5 per share."  One thing we share is our willingness to lose it all.  I would probably watch AMC rise to $500 and bust my account before I would cover the short.  Given the economic situation in our country, there isn't much motivation to be a saver who worries about holding onto a small balance.
