If I had a job I would send my boss my resignation letter. Being how easy this is and all.

Added some BABA to the small amount I had (about doubling it). Loving the GBTC today, though I'm selling nothing at a profit until after this tax year. My tax bill will be bad enough as is.
Be careful with BABA.
As The Wall Street Journal reported over the weekend, the Chinese government is pressing tech giants Tencent Holdings (OTC:TCEHY) and Alibaba affiliate company Ant Group to help it develop a new "state-backed digital currency" -- i.e., a cryptocurrency -- to be dubbed the e-CNY (or electronic Chinese yuan).

Trusting the Chinese is a very bad idea.

Generally out of SPACs, but I like Dark Sky as a long term Space play so picked up a little bit of SFTW.

I'm trying to figure out what to do here - down 30%, and not liking what's happening with Chinese tech stocks. Sure as hell not buying more, already in for a 1.5 position, but seriously considering trimming or just getting out altogether.
Now GBTC on the other hand

Here is the catalyst - Im long on this one: https://www.otcmarkets.com/stock/PBYA/news/North-American-Crane-Bureau-Secures-New-Training-Services-Contract-with-Ford?id=313102
The country needs more and more blue collars in the work force. Accessibility into training material for these trade jobs will only increase, not decrease. Imagine being able to pass a bunch of online courses to get your "pre-cert". Then get job placement near a big city to complete your training hands on? I think there is a considerable market for this.

What is a good blockchain investment that is not crypto currency? Like, what can I invest in that is developing NFT/Blockchain for secure documents for medical records, commercial real estate transactions, etc.?

"Listen, Dale. So far we've managed to pretend crypto doesn't exist at all. But with your crypto expertise, we'll be able to REALLY ignore it effectively for the next 20 years."

Blue Horseshoe (also known as @General Malaise) loves Cobalt Blockchain Inc. Support has really developed at $.03, serious price consolidation and getting ready for a breakout.
j/k, do not invest in COBCF. Just don't.
They are probably being forced and while this comes with potential gains it also comes with a lot of risks. If it fails they are going to get stuck with the losses.
Fwiw, I don't trust any Chinese businesses with investments. I don't believe their records or that their government won't nationalize or something else.

I agree. I just think BABA and JD have been beaten down. So, Id like to take advantage.

Not exactly a fit as you describe but definitely related to crypto is $SI
A cryptocurrency bank of sorts

Bought it on 12/15/20
Up 148% for me since then.
One bright spot today in RGEN with a real nice earnings report this morning. Don’t own a ton but got up to 40 shares in a few buys in the $160-180 range. I like the accelerating growth.
Actually, seems like some of the big tech guys like TTD, MDB and ROKU having a nice day and keeping me not so bad.

Was just trying to look for news about this over the weekend to see if there is any catalyst upcoming. My biggest percentage loss right now based on the idea behind it, but love the idea behind it. Would like to see some releases that they are actually putting the satellites up they have planned this year.

ZIM lockup period expired today. For anyone interested in some exposure to shipping, this probably wouldn't be a bad entry point.
It might be a bumpy ride between here and year-end, but I have to believe this thing climbs back into the $40s by 1/22. Shipping prices and backlogs are outrageous right now. Delta variant news will cause some of the bumpy ride, but would you expect an increase in covid cases to significantly reduce that shipping bottleneck? I don't. If anything, I'd think it makes it worse. This is how we got here in the first place. Shipping prices are unlikely to decline significantly anytime soon imo.
Full disclosure: I'm long (Basis in the $20s) and have been actively trading puts and calls for a while now. All of that was while it was range-bound in the $40s. I exited those positions in anticipation of this. I believe there's another lockup expiration coming in August, too, but I need to research that more. I suggest you do as well if interested. To me, those are temp shock events. I'm holding this into '22 pending a change in thesis. I wouldn't be surprised if I end up writing some $30-ish puts later today.

Perspective on what shipping has done/is doing, from Hasbro's quarterly call this week:
"While other factors positively influenced gross margin, freight and input costs are significantly higher this year than last. One example is ocean freight costs where we are projecting, on average, that costs will be more than 4 times higher this year versus last."

Aaaaand in the time it took me to type that, it's up 3%
I wish I sold my API shares (small share) earlier this year when it had almost tripled and I couldn’t really figure out what they do. My BILI has taken it on the chin but at least I’m still almost double. Not really sure what to do with them. API has actually been up lately because it got beat up for some link to TikTok or something. BILI sucks because I like them a lot but maybe not worth the chance.

It probably wasn't that much SE a while ago.Oof, was wondering what was driving my wife's account down so much today

It's getting close to the same price it was... 11 days ago. Or in June.
I wish it wasn’t a Chinese stock. Right in my wheelhouse but when you’ve got a communist government that controls everything as much as they do, we are seeing the risk right now.Oof, was wondering what was driving my wife's account down so much today

Thinking about selling and buying more KNSL as they report this week and for growing as well as they are the stock hasn’t really participated in last year’s rally. Seems pretty cheap on sales and earnings growth.
