I bought BROS this morning. Up 10% since I bought it! For once I am up on the day I bought it.
This could be a real runner. Up 10% on a bloodbath day?
somebody buying them out?

Markets go up, and markets go down. Savvy investors make money during both. Unless you are planning to withdraw money from the market tomorrow, sit back and enjoy the free roller coaster ride.
I will post this after your next doom and gloom post about Bitcoinlink to original post
You make it very easy!

I think they just went public last week. I know lots of teens that swear by them. Apparently they are the teenagers version of Starbucks. That may mean they will have a future as those kids grow up.

I never saw these in NY, and the one I saw in Vegas didn't look busy. The one by me didn't even look like it had seats, just a walk up and drive thru.
Quote: billryanQuote: SOOPOOI saw. Portfolio down 1% in pre market. That usually equates to nearly 2% once all the stocks are open for trade. Oh well….

If your portfolio is up 130+ %, what was the Dow when you started? It would be interesting to compare the two. I no longer buy individual stocks but when I did I always tracked them by how they did relative to the Dow.link to original post
It’s hard for me to compare, but Dow is up around 110% from when I started the portfolio. That means my stocks have overperformed the Dow, as I do have a chunk of the money in bonds and some in cash. Rethinking it, I may be about even with the Dow if I include the dividends a Dow ETF pays.
After mutual fund recalculates today I’ll be back down to up 131%. High was up 139%.
This portfolio is now almost 7 1/2 years old!

Branding experts will say that can also be a bad thing as girls grow up, they often leave behind the kid stuff just because it is associated with kids.
Since I don't drink coffee nor invest in individual stocks, this isn't a company I have any interest in.

As others said above, it just went public at about $24 a few weeks ago. I heard of them on Motley Fool Podcast. Bought on momentum, never been to one. SBUX needs some competition maybe they give it? Regional for now. Maybe it ten-bags?
I post more when it is going up than going down.

It has been an interesting few weeks for BROS. The post-IPO activity seems to have consolidated and it is now running, hopefully my bull put spread on it pays! As to the chain they do take out and drive thru. Their customer service seems to be intentionally or unintentionally following the Chick-Fil-A model of great and friendly service. I will be holding as it might be one of those "it seems expensive now but....." restaurant stocks.]
The last thing this guy needs is a cup of coffee.....
I got into AERG at about $0.37 a year or so ago. Now at $2.58! Now, I bring it up now because lately it just keeps moving the right direction. Look into it if you like. Might be a defense contract play.

Also in DPLS, down a few cents but it is like $0.09. Thinking of accumulate with premiums from covered call sales the next few months. Like SHIB, better than dropping it on lottery tickets.
Quote: SOOPOOClosing in on ATH again. + 139%. But I think still a tad below last close of +139%.

Another day…. another $$$$$ …. Up 142%. TSLA leads the way!
I have to admit, I used to maintain a spreadsheet where I kept track of every deposit and withdrawal to my stock accounts, but eventually as I grew to a status of never withdrawing and the value of each account was increasing exponentially well beyond any deposits I made, I stopped keeping exact track.
And nowadays the brokerages provide full records including bases so I don't need to track the over all value of the account, if anything I need to keep track of individual trades to make sure the IRS is not misapplying the wash sales rule to me. As far as long terms, I almost never sell these and if I do, anyway, again, the brokerages will provide me with all the figures I need to provide to my CPA.
Quote: SOOPOOI know what the initial deposit was. It was close to an exact amount, say $1,000,000. So if it is now $2,420,000 easy to figure up 142%. No calculator needed. No subsequent deposits so very easy.

I am moving soon, 1% of your portfolio would be a welcomed house warming gift. I might even invite you over.

So are you saying you're ready to start betting table limit (OR BEYOND) side by side with MDawg at the tables? a life of leisure and devil may care because there's so much that you couldn't possibly be concerned if you lost some of it?
Or, if not that - how about some BIG OL' stock trades? Let's do this thing, together!

I won’t be betting table limits with you! I am perhaps the smallest ‘guppy’ when it comes to playing the -EV games I enjoy.
As far as stock trades, I absolutely will consider a buy if you have a stock you think is undervalued. Or on the way up. Or ….
So I am SUPER happy now about last two days. Remember, all my TSLA is in a retirement account. So what did I do with the $10k? I bought 200 DKNG, and put a sell order in at $1.50 more. It sold in pre market! $300. For pushing a few buttons. Plus I’ve been happy with my few months ago buys of XYLD, QYLD, and RYLD. The around 1% MONTHLY dividends just got paid to my account.
. Thanks for the advice.Quote: mosss45I often trade stocks in the stock market. The main thing is to rip out the direction of investment and constantly read the news. Analysis of news helps to make mistakes less.

The recent VOLATILITY in TSLA has exceeded on a daily basis (sometimes) the entire VALUE of Ford.
If they were for sale, Elon Musk could afford to buy EVERY NBA, NFL, NHL, and MLB team!

I looked at them. They were both up big today! Congratulations! I didn’t buy either. I was too busy being happy that WoV portfolio was up again.. likely to plus 142% after TWCUX gets revalued in an hour.

Apple has been a disappointing stock for the past 12 months. Today marks the 4th straight earnings report where the stock gets clocked. Love the product…not happy with the stock, especially seeing other stocks reach new highs.
Quote: SOOPOOTSLA up to around $1200. Helps put WoV portfolio at +145%. None of my other portfolios are at ATH's. But getting close. I am happy with XYLD, QYLD, and RYLD. I spoke to a golf buddy who is a financial money manager type guy (not a client of his), and he said it is very easy to make money selling covered calls, if you already have the stock. I'm happy there is are ETFs that do it for me.
link to original post
Covered calls are a wonderful thing and I got into QYLD just a few weeks ago. Meant to sooner but had my money tied up. QYLD will not go up much, so make sure you are in dividend reinvest if you are not already. I did not see if you said so earlier.
I was kicking it on covered calls on XXII earlier this year. Also WKHS, where I have nearly paid for the stock. Funny thing is at Schwab if you sell covered calls and they expire it lowers your cost basis on the positions screen. So it takes a few months and I am like what the eff? Why am I up so high. I call and the guy congratulates me on doing it. Says he keeps getting calls people asking how to get out of that bad trade and he says to use covered calls. He said to me, "you know your way around an option!" which made my day.
I used a vertical-call spread to make a quick $280 or so last week, a bit more risky but I like doing them. They can be like laying the points on the Bills who decide not to cover until late in the game though.
Anyone else like covered calls?
To repeat something I posted in another thread, I highly recommend picking up a copy of "Option Volatility & Pricing" by Natenberg. It's essential reading for anyone who wants to AP the stock market.
Quote: TumblingBonesI don't do a lot of active trading these days but I used to use them a lot. My wife is more pro-active with trades and likes to use covered calls the same way you do. I also found buying puts to be a useful strategy at times. I would use it as a type of insurance against a sudden price drop when I held a large position in some company and they were about to announce earnings. One thing I never do or recommend is selling uncovered calls unless it's part of a more complex trade like a straddle or butterfly.

There is a word for those who sell naked calls. IDIOT!
I just placed a Bull Call Spread on AAPL expiring Friday. Lets hope AAPL stays above 150.
Quote: TumblingBonesInteresting. I had never looked in to the pros and cons of bull calls but I can think of several stocks where they might be a good strategy. I'm tempted to try it out later today but it might interfere with my nap time :)

Well I will describe it all in a thread if enough people care.
Meanwhile they guy my brother explained them to after I explained to my brother just bought a fancy SUV with the cash he got from them. Guy had made SIX FIGURES after he heard about how to do options. And I will not even explain bull calls and other veritcals to them until we are in person.
Now, he had 2 Lambos and other stuff before, but guy is macking it hard with options since he learned. I actually feel fulfilled.
Woo-hoo

Quote: SOOPOOSo AZ, AAPL I see hit 151.57 earlier today. You said you needed it to stay below 150. So what was your exposure and what was your loss?
link to original post
If I said that I said it wrong, I need it to be > 150 at market close on Friday. My max loss is $0.65 on 1100 shares if it falls below 149.
I also legged in to a 14 or so month trade on XXII, we will see how that goes. A credit spread for those who know options.
Normally I would wait until Wed to do the AAPL trade type but I will be gassed in the morning and recovering in the afternoon.

I mis-remembered what you wrote! Anyway, this portfolio barely held on to plus 145% today. My non TSLA portion was UP. But not enough to counter the DOWN from TSLA. I planned on selling a little at 1200…. but didn’t pull trigger. I DID do a quick trade on 200 shares of DKNG pocketing around $80. Woo hoo!

On a more long term note, some smart people have noted that the new mRNA vaccines performed better than the old style J and J vaccine. Going forward, this technology may be used for developing other vaccines.
Last summer after I sold my house, looking to invest in stocks
Was watching Cranmer and he touted NVDA
I bought NVDA
Its one of my top performers
Over 150% up
I was checking yesterday, it was up 10% yesterday
I just checked now. 5% up
Those are massive one day up movements for a stock
So thrilled to be making more then I am spending in retirement
Quote: TumblingBonesI know you guys are all hot and excited about TSLA and some of the pharma stocks but my big bets are on NVDA. I tripled my position ~ 4 weeks back when it was 219. As I write this it's at 312.33. That's a 43% jump!
link to original post
I really don’t have any ‘big bets’ per se, other than the market as a whole. Only a few stocks are even over 1% of total portfolio value.
43% in 4 weeks is amazing. Do you sell any on the way up? Or waiting for a specific number? Or hold for your heirs?
Quote: TumblingBonesBig jump this week seems to be due to Wells Fargo analysts figuring out something I concluded 4 weeks back: that NVDA has the best approach to building a metaverse which is the hot buzzword these days.

They definitely make the best performance chips today.
Why i was impressed:
- it leverages their experience with AI and gaming
- market focus isn't consumers (like Zuckerberg) but digital twins for manufacturing and infrastructure. Already have customers/partners like BMW and Siemens
- they are taking a very open approach
- impressive list of s/w developers already on-board and integrating
I expect the stock to have some ups & downs, especially if the ARM acquisition is nixed, but I definitely see it as a long-term hold.
