Clearly some profit taking with 30 minutes or so left today, but I'm pretty happy with the gain. Let's hope tomorrow brings good news.

Wish I would have added more than 5 shares while it was down.
Where are you guys finding value out there right now?

Still like WPC at these levels for the long-term
Surprised they didn't go with Queens Gambit Cobalt Autonomous Blockchain Augmented Disruption

That’s an interesting one, I’m in a Vanguard reit and have been in O in the past...how does this one compare?
Sideshow Bob
Footballguy
I was in WPC and O, both of which I liked as recovery plays and diversification away from being too tech heavy. I sold my shares of O on a little pop a while back and added to my WPC position when it went under $69. If I had more $$ to add to it right now, I would. It's not going to be a FLGT or FSLY, but that's not why I own it.
As it relates to O, neither is likely to have b/s issues in the foreseeable future, it's cheaper, they had better collection rates than O during the pandemic (96-99%), better diversification/less retail exposure, and they have a lot of international exposure. They will become a dividend aristocrat in 2 years. That's not something I really care about, but it will add them to buy lists for both some individuals and some funds. Will I still own it then? Probably, unless it outperforms by a significant margin. The better yield is just gravy.

If it wasn’t for the $50 fee I would have probably sold 25% today, but decided to hold instead. Anyone with price targets here?

Only costs me $5 to trade, I'll probably sell half at $.55, buy more if it drops below .40 again.
With the $50 fee, how many shares are you buying? It wouldn't make sense to buy or sell less than a few thousand imo.

I'm holding for when the news drops, whether it is tomorrow, Friday or next week. If I had to give a price target, it'd be $2.

I also had a $50 fee when bought and when I sell. Got 3000 @.3365 which came out to .353 with the $50 fee. Will only get out soon if it drops to .30

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avril_Haines
Haines has consulted for Palantir Technologies,[34] a data-mining firm accused of assisting the Trump administration with immigrant detention programs,[51] and was an employee of WestExec Advisors,[52] a consulting firm with a secretive client list that includes high-tech start-ups seeking Pentagon contracts.[53] The firm was founded by Antony Blinken, Biden's nominee for Secretary of State, and Michele Flournoy, a former Pentagon adviser.[53]
In late June 2020, shortly after taking on the role of overseeing foreign policy and national security considerations for the Joe Biden 2020 presidential campaign transition team, references to Palantir and other corporations for which Haines had worked were abruptly removed from her fellowship resume, posted on the website of the Brookings Institution.[51]

Nah, just keep it simple.
((23613.83 / 20598.31) - 1)*100 gives you the return so far. 14.6%
If you want to turn it into an annual return based on how many days things have been invested, etc., that’s not worth the effort. Just track the rate of return in a basic way and at the end of the year it’s your annual return.

Anybody holding TWM? Saw that a reverse split is in the cards. Took a look and found this from last week.
From a yahoo finance page dated January 8, 2021
This week saw a few issuers making expense ratio changes to their ETFs or splitting shares. Among them was ProShares, which announced splits for a dozen of its funds, effective Jan. 21, 2021.
Those scheduled splits include 2-for-1 forward splits for the ProShares Ultra Health Care ETF (RXL) and the ProShares UltraPro QQQ ETF (TQQQ).
There are also 10 planned reverse splits, which include the following:
ProShares UltraShort MidCap400 ETF (MZZ), 1 for 2
ProShares UltraShort QQQ ETF (QID), 1 for 4
ProShares UltraShort SmallCap600 ETF (SDD), 1 for 2
ProShares UltraShort Utilities ETF (SDP), 1 for 2
ProShares UltraShort Industrials ETF (SIJ), 1 for 2
ProShares UltraShort Financials ETF (SKF), 1 for 2
ProShares UltraPro Short MidCap400 ETF (SMDD), 1 for 2

Similarly, effective as of the close of markets today, Jan. 8, Direxion is enacting share splits on four of its funds. They are as follows:
The Direxion Daily Retail Bull 3X Shares (RTL) will undergo a 5-for-1 forward split.

The Direxion Daily S&P 500 High Beta Bear 3X Shares (HIBS) will undergo a 1-for-20 reverse split.
The Direxion Daily S&P 500 Bear 3X Shares (SPXS) will undergo a 1-for-10 reverse split.
Expense Ratio Changes
First Trust and ALPS both made some changes to ETF expense ratios. For ALPS, this meant a 10-basis-point reduction in the expense ratio of the ALPS Clean Energy ETF (ACES) from 0.65% to 0.55%, while First Trust changed the fees on eight of its funds, effective Jan. 4, 2021.
Those changes are as follows:
The expense ratio for the First Trust Active Factor Small Cap ETF (AFSM) increased from 0.75% to 0.77%.
The expense ratio for the EquityCompass Risk Manager ETF (ERM) increased from 0.65% to 0.68%.

Bitcoin fell as much as 10% on Thursday after a report from BitMEX Research suggested a critical flaw called "double-spend" occurred in the bitcoin blockchain.
Double-spend is a highly feared scenario where a user is able to spend their same bitcoin more than once.
The double-spend event has not been confirmed and there have been mixed messages from BitMEX on the particular instance.

Wrong thread, but this goes along with @General Malaise's point. If know one's looking then I can spend my monopoly money twice.
Any thoughts on Fisker (FSR), TPG Pace Beneficial Finance (TPGY) and Steel Dynamics (STLD)?

$NNOX up 12.77% as I type on heavy volume. No idea why other than people thinking ARK is buying in soon, but there's no real proof of that. Not impossible but not definite. Second time I've doubled on this regardless of the reason. If/when FDA approval happens this thing is gonna explode.

What are the pot stocks people are in here, specifically for the US legalization play? I don't know that the Canadian companies interest me much. iirc, somebody was into one because they were big players in CA, which I think is a tough place to get a license? Maybe IL? @General Malaise

Cresco Labs has been good to me so far. CRLBF. This one kept popping up in Motley Fool, etc... type articles as a pot stock to watch. After reading about it a few times I got some at $11.86 on Jan 6. Currently up 20%. I am holding it.

It seems RVVTF halted trading because of dilution. They sold 40,000,000 shares for 50 cents a piece (probably Canadian currency which would be $.39 usd). Doesn't seem like a big deal. Not sure why they would halt trading to announce it unless they intentionally wanted to lower the stock price. https://www.newswire.ca/news-releases/revive-therapeutics-announces-upsize-to-previously-announced-bought-deal-offering-857638046.html

I think finding value is extremely difficult right now, but I'll give my thoughts for anyone that wants to take a nap.GoBirds said:
I look at my individual stocks and compare them now to the reasons I bought them and I see no pressing reason to sell any of them right now. I did close one position, MKC, as I made about 60%+ and the multiple on that stock got out of what I felt comfortable being for a spice stock. When I close a position, I move on completely, so I'm not sure if it went up from where I sold it or not, but I'm happy. I'm actually near an all time low in cash, with nearly 95% invested right now. I know, know, know this is stupid and I need to sell something, but the only things I am considering selling would leave me with substantial capital gains and I hate paying tax. TGT, SBUX and DIS would all be candidates, however, TGT should be a winner with more stimulus checks, SBUX should be a winner with Biden allying with China, and DIS could be a nice winner with a reopening and the stupid multiples given to streaming services, so I am holding.
Where I see value:
-AMZN. Yeah, I know, but this one is at least 10% undervalued imho even with the recent few days run up.
-WMT. I own too much already or else I would buy more. This one to me looks at least 15% undervalued and could be a big winner with more stimulus as well.
-Dividend stocks. I'm too stupid to pick individual winners here so I go with a few vanguard index dividend funds and I piled in both pretty heavily over the last few months. IMHO, the TINA trade is going to rotate out of growth eventually as valuations come back to earth. Retiree's are still going to need income, and there is a boat load of cash uninvested on the sidelines. I think a lot of people got burnt selling the likes of MLP's last year and rather than piling back in, will forego a few percentages in yield for a safer stock option (be it Verizon, AT&T, XOM, CVX, and so on.....). To be fair, I've been a yield whore for years now and as I'm winding closer to retirement, I am a-ok owning lots and lots of dividend funds to throw off income.
-GM & F. I know both have been up big the past month or two, but ffs GM is valued at what, 1/10th of Tesla? Both are trading at very low multiples, and even a modest bump up can put both up another 15-20% easy this year. I prefer GM, hi gb, but they burned me a few years ago on a preferred stock when they bankrupted so they never get another dime of my money. Again, I'm stupid I know this.
Those are my off the cuff thoughts in looking for value, but it's very very difficult to ignore the high flyers as well. I've even dipped into SPAC's and am doing a bunch of calls hoping for a huge payday, come on IPOF I'm looking at you.

Great info, thanks for sharing. Really enjoy getting perspective like this from guys much smarter than I am on stocks. I added 2 shares of AMZN last week and just added some WPC from the tip above and will look into some you mentioned. I do feel like we may be getting caught up in the euphoria but also see people having to chase yield for quite some time.
many thoughts on GOLD and am I the only sucker in here still holding ? Is it a legit hedge if things pull back?

I honestly never want to own nor even see another pot stock again. Valens absolutely killed me. I have a graveyard of pot stocks in my trade history. So eager I was to dive into these names and load up my PA with companies poised to succeed due to new lenient pot laws, but I got burned like a joint rolled in magnesium.Sideshow Bob said:
