If I am not mistaken it has to be reported to the SEC within 5 days of the sale.

2pm the day before the election, djt is up 16%.
Buy on the rumor, sell on the news.

so pump and dump? ie: selloff before close today

IRS section 1043 is rather interesting.
If DJT wins, he and his cabinet members, like Musk, could sell their entire portfolios, capital gains free.

It looks like Trump won (currently 267 pts out of 270 needed)
Djt is up 35% premarket

Edit:
He's now over 270
Djt is still up 35% premarket

As expected, at ATH this morning. Now up 184%. What’s my laggard? TSM! Down 2.5%. Also down …. Lithium stocks.

I do NOT expect these early gains to hold. But it looks good now…

Another post election ATH. Now at +189%. So $1 is now $2.89. Another 4% market run up will get me to triple initial investment.

My taxable account has been doing much better (includes TSM). I keep selling a bit and taking money out to pay for stuff, but its value still keeps going up.

I’m going to need to tap into the account to pay the Wiz for my poor election betting predictions..

Pennies from up 191%. Mostly from TSLA today! Musk likely gained more today than the sum of the net worth’s of everyone who has EVER posted here on WoV.

I would assume you are correct about that. Although, my FOUR stock is going up nicely so I may be catching Musk.

After a short downturn, it closed up 191% today. I got a decent amount in ‘cash’ (SWVXX) now only paying around 4.3%. I think if it drops below 4% I may solicit suggestions for individual stocks again from forum members.
Heck, it is the ‘WoV portfolio’!

I got my official Social Security letter today. I’ll be getting $3k a month. I consider that money like owning bonds.

I wonder what actuarial tables list life expectancy from your first social security check? 18 years?

googling will reveal your life expectancy from any age - of course it's just an average

for example the life expectancy of a 65 year old male is 17 years - a 65 year old female is 19.7 years - see link

That’s not what I asked. People take Social Security from
62 to 70. I’m wondering if there is a correlation of when you take social security to life expectancy.

Up to +193% this morning. Paying for furniture for new house.

I'd think it was obvious that people waiting until 70 to collect tend to be healthier and more affluent than people taking it early. Healthier, wealthier people tend to live longer.

Geez you guys. I know that! What I don’t know is the actual answer in years. And am not sure if it is ‘findable’.

I think I’m going to turn some of the SWVXX money market fund into individual stocks or ETFs. Since this is the WoV portfolio I’ll be asking you guys for selections. So chime in!

If you are looking for solid returns with income, JEPI or JEPQ.. For steady growth QQQQ or SPY I like AIPI, with its 34% dividend.
Do you want income or growth? How much risk are you willing to take? I'd think you aren't looking for much risk.

I hold a lot of things like that. Returns in the 8-12% area, nothing unsustainable.

Be aware that a lot of times when a screener picks up a high div, that's actually a liquidation of capital being distributed, not a real dividend. The REITs have burned a lot of people like that, selling off their garbage properties.

I own a ton of QQQ already. For decades so has done really well of course. Bought JEPQ this year based on your discussion of it somewhere. Have SPY for decades as well.

This $$ can be used for a ‘risky’ investment. Presumably won’t be touched until the government forces me to make withdrawals in 7 or so years.

I will buy some AIPI today or soon. Thanks.

So I log on this am, and what is my best performing ETF in the WoV portfolio? AIPI…!

So I actually looked at it in more detail. It’s really a (VERY SMALL!) aggressive, non diversified, actively managed, large cap AI fund. Only $150 million. For an ETF, relatively high expenses (0.7%). 60% of its total value in top 10 holdings. Like Nividia.

Kind of the type of fund I tended to avoid in my younger days. But I’m happy to be in it now.

Portfolio hit ATH on the open, up 195%.

My friend's Dad started a similar company that Harbortouch bought a year ago before I left NY. It had grown from a family business to having hundreds of employees, with a branch in Northern Ireland for the overnight shift. I don't know what they sold for, but the company was printing money and getting a piece of every credit transaction they processed, and the father called the sale of his company a one-time opportunity. Looking at the results, I hope the deal involved stock and not just cash.

I remember the concern when the Dow approached 1,000 as many old tickers couldn't handle four figures. After briefly touching 1,000, it retreated and didn't break it again for several years.
It took over 75 years for the Dow to break 1,000, and around 15 years more to break 2,000.

I have eight Fidelity investment accounts that add up to a nice sum. When I checked them out before, the overall account was up three cents. A moment later, it was down eight cents. I started the day twenty dollars short of a landmark, and it's been down slightly all day. Now, I'm thirty-three dollars short of a mark no one cares about but me.
Fun with numbers.

Interesting fact. The new head of NASA Jared Issacman dropped out of high school after the 10th grade. When most of us think of NASA we think of brilliant scientists with Phd's and Master's degrees but the head of the agency dropped out of high school. He is a brilliant man that I had the opportunity to work for and the reason I invested in Shift4 stock. At 42 years old he has accomplished more than most people in history. I have no idea if he will be a good NASA leader, but I have so much respect for him that it will not surprise me if he is successful.

Dropped out of high school at 16 and worked for a small credit card company
At 17, started his own company to process credit cards (hired his Dad to be the face of the company because bankers would not deal with a 17 year old.
Decided he wanted to learn to fly so he went to Embry Riddle while running his company.
Started a group to do aerial demonstration flights like the Thunderbirds and Blue Angels
Started a company called Draken and became the owner of the worlds largest private air force by buying used military planes.
Draken got the contract to train U.S. military in dogfighting against his airplanes.
Sold Draken for around a $100 million to focus on his POS company
Renamed the POS company to Shift4 (which on your keyboard Shift-4 is the "$" sign)
Took Shift4 public and became a billionaire.
Spent $200 million of his own money to lease a rocket from Spacex and take a group of three non-astronauts to space.
Spent more money to lease another three rocket launches for the "Polaris Dawn" project where he was the first private individual to do a space walk.
Appointed by Trump to be the head of NASA.

As a side note he awards employees with rides in his MIG-29 fighter jet.

Which companies will be most affected by possible tariffs? Companies like Walmart will have to raise prices if their goods are hit with tariffs. Look for products with American-made goods whose main competitors will be hit with huge price increases.
A number of historic indicators signal stocks giving back some of their recent gains, but this is unchartered territory.
I'm eying a couple of companies in the police equipment industry and some of the companies who got logistical support contracts in
Iraq .

I just started researching some Mexican companies that import to the U.S. I think there is a big future for some of those companies in the next two years as China falls apart.

The Dow is down about six hundred points this week. In 1987, the market lost 522 points on Black Monday and crushed many young investors' finances. The pullback in credit over the next few years, and the calling in of questionable loans killed the real estate speculation game in many markets.
In 1987, a 522 point loss meant the market had shrunk by 22 percent.
In 2024, a 500-point loss meant the market shrunk by just over one percent.

Bought some EFC as it was first stock mentioned in a post a few upthread.

Tesla continues to climb. Now that I think of it, I’ve made enough in TSLA…. to buy a Tesla!

Also noticed my Hard Rock Sportsbook account lists 3 things I can buy. Free bet, profit boost, or a new Tesla. I’m just 5,999,740 points short of the Tesla…..

If we combined our points we would only be about 5,900,000 points short. Maybe that would be enough for us to buy a unicycle.

If you really have 100,000 points you can get around 5 or 6 free bets of $250 each. I think I just qualified for….. a $5 free bet!

Right now, there are a number of funds paying 20% or more, many with monthly dividends. I don't think it is sustainable but it's a thrilling ride.

Just one man's opinion, but if the new US administration sends troops into Mexico, I can see the whole country imploding. The government and the military are very unpopular and such an incursion might be fatal. I don't buy into chaos.

I can't imagine a scenario where we send troops into Mexico without being invited. Personally, I think we should have a couple of bases in Mexico.
