Somebody posted about Denison Mines and how they were up 400% which is great!  Can't find the post for the life of me.

A decade or so ago,  pre-Fukishima I owned a considerable amount myself.  When my Godson graduated from HS I bought some for him too.  A few years later my Goddaughter graduated from HS and I bought her AMZN.  I told them both to just forget about it and let the markets do the work. 

Guess which one texts me happy birthday every year.

:mellow:

:lmao:

Hope all of you U folks make a fortune.  Just can't do it again myself after the last beat down.

 
I feel Amazon is in a similar position as WMT, MCD, and Disney.  Pretty meh in 2021, but historically they are safe and go up.  I took a position in MCD earlier this week, and am thinking about selling off some Tesla & MSFT to add to the others.

The problem is that actual ETH is probably up around 60% in that same span.

Last time BTC hit 60k GBTC was around $56/share.  Now BTC is at 66k and GBTC is only $50/share.

I get that it's probably the best there is for tracking BTC through a brokerage, but its usefulness has fallen off w/ the ETF coming up.  It lags BTC on the upswings but tracks it perfectly on the downs.

They filed today to turn GBTC into an ETF.  :thumbup:

 
Sold my BROS options this AM up about 200%.  immediately moved it into ETH (crypto).  Pretty much the only good thing about robinhood.  

I may day trade the ETH and BROS in that account.

HOLDING the majority of my BROS stuff, which is shares in different account.  Thanks GM for the email. :hifive:

I usually do my tax harvesting around the middle of December.  My thought always was it's super slow around Christmas and last week of the year.  That way I'm not as likely to miss some major run up on a stock I planned on buying back.

Thoughts?

I do it the week leading up to Christmas and right after Christmas....same thing every year.

Nice bounceback for AFRM today

Up 4.83% today so far

I jumped back in yesterday. I missed $127 -> $145 but I think this thing still has legs to $250ish long term. 

Even now on highs it's only back to the same level it was earlier this year before they picked up Amazon and Shopify as partners.

While we're on the subject, this weekend reminded me yet again just how awful Gamestop's online business is.

I know all the fun stuff around the squeeze and the technicals of GME, and I fully supported all that, but I just want to reiterate how mind numbingly ridiculous this notion is that GME is going to be some kind of leader in online game purchasing.  I've said it before and I'll say it again, not only do they not have any advantages over any other retailer in capturing that online business, but their online business is by far the WORST of any retailer that sells videogames.

I've documented some of the ridiculous problems I've had placing a simple online order on their site before, but this weekend someone gifted my son an Xbox digital giftcard from gamestop's online website.  The email with the code goes straight to us and I put it into XBox Live immediately only to get a "this code has already been redeemed error".  Gamestop support was worthless and directed me to Xbox support, who of course said we can't just let you redeem a code that's already been redeemed, and noted that a lot of Gamestop users have been contacting them about this and I would need to go back to Gamestop support.  A quick internet/reddit search confirmed that this is a common issue with digital gift cards purchased at Gamestop.  If you buy a digital gift card at Gamestop it seems like there's just straight up like a 20% chance that it won't work and they won't help you with it and you'll just be out 50 bucks.

Using the website honestly feels like it's a company from 1998 still figuring out this online website thing.  I can order any videogame or accessory from Amazon or Best Buy or Walmart or Target and have it in 2 days (or same day pickup) with a guarantee that it will work or they'll straight up replace it with no questions asked.  Or I can order it from Gamestop for the same price and MAYBE I'll get it in a week or two after some cryptic messaging (or maybe they'll just cancel it altogether) and once I do get it the thing might or might not work with a possibility of no recourse if it doesn't.

It's just so funny to me that this of all websites is supposed to be the pioneer in online gaming retail, when not only does it not stand out but it's straight up the worst online gaming retailer out there.

I had the EXACT SAME issue buying a gaming gift card on Walmart.com......they never helped me, so I had to raise a credit dispute with my card company to get the money back.

 
If you missed your chance to lose money on ridiculously overpriced oat milk stock, you have a new opportunity to lose money on coconut water today.

In other news one of my biggest holdings, DFS, is getting smoked today on better than expected earnings.  :kicksrock:

It missed revenue and the earnings surprise was only a few percent. Since it’s up over 30% this year, not surprising it went down after that report. With most stocks near their highs, anything not blowing away earnings will probably knock shares down.

I'm bummed, but not hugely surprised.  I am sitting on a triple there, so I'm grousing, not complaining.   :thumbup:

Yep, just like most stuff it’s way up over that minor baby dip in early 2020. If you miss at all or barely scrape by, you’ll get dinged. 

 
Looking for the next OKE, which is in a daily battle with SE for supremacy in my portfolio, I started a position in HESM this week that I'm planning on building on.  J.C. Parets mentioned it on the Compound and Friends podcast recently as a breakout candidate that would benefit from energy hitting new highs that pays a 7.5% dividend while you wait.  They mention MLPs in relation to it but Hess transitioned from an MLP back in late 2019, so my understanding is that there isn't an issue holding it in a tax advantaged account (someone please feel free to "check my math" on that!).

Of course I also own 20M SHIB coins, so do your own research!

Worth buying DFS on the dip?

Anyone?
Click to expand...
Obviously I like it and I have a bunch of it.  PE right now is 8 (it had a blowout quarter in Q2).  V and MA P/E are 46 and 49.  DFS is the fourth place scrapper, but with the trend to ecommerce I still like them and the valuation is there even if it cools off a bit.

I'm bullish on that whole sector, but do particularly like DFS in the space.

Good @Todem question!

In on DWAC, dwacu, dwacw.  No idea what the difference is.  Up big so far and I thought I got in late.

Been watching DWAC since pre-market (unfortunately, did not buy any).  Thought it topped out at $20 around 11am.  I think a lot of shorts did too.  Crazy day on that chart.  Good luck!

This one proves my theory that the short squeeze, while it happened on GME, is not the reason all these other meme stocks went up and then down. It’s pure retail volume. Someone tweets or posts what everyone should buy and people can just set their sell limits and keep raising them because people are paying anything and then turning around and doing the same thing. Early birds get the worm and then the latecomers get stuck holding the bag and turn into cheerleaders trying to get the stocks back up.

This one also shows how SPACs are 90%+ garbage than go away. I remember reading before the craze about how bad SPACs track records were and I think for a bit there were legit companies using that method but there were also the tons of companies like Lordstown that capitalized on the craze to go public and people are that #### up like nothing could ever fail. I’ll throw my two cents in here that the Trump Media company will fail miserably.

Any short term rides out there, stock-wise?

Same here, got a bit sitting out and just transferred more over.  Nothing jumping out at the moment and I'm just going to be patient with it.  

I keep watching TNA (etf and the real ones) and should have started up another position in that when it was in the 70's.  Smallies have been lagging this year and maybe something I play for 2022.
