Uncertain grounds

she kept some..how much i do not know off hand. but i made her sell more than 50%. she actually wanted to buy more today at 12.90 but missed it because shes at work. i think she got in at 8 bucks so shes straight either way but i couldnt sit there and let her not secure profits at that margin given the circumstances. i think i threatened to not talk to her for a month or two if she didnt sell

I’m of the quality over quantity mindset as well. Currently I’m only holding AAPL SQ and TSLA. I don’t think I’ll be grabbing any other stocks other than LMND for the long play. To get my diversification later I’ll just get an index fund that either tracks the DOW or S&P. That’s only after I’ve built my positions to my liking.

Sounds like a solid investment strategy. You are in a room full of (profitable) gamblers and so their advice might differ from yours but do what's right for your portfolio/risk strategy,

No Whammies!!
On the one hand, I KNOW its overpriced :hula:On the other hand, I KNOW its going to go up more.

I gave in and bought this this morning:
TSLA Sep 11 '20 $1490 Call

It was still out of the money when I bought it, now its up 39% in a few hours.
But I don't feel so good about it. I don't really think the stock should be over 1500, that's crazy. I'll probably get rid of it before the actual split.

Bruh, this is excellent. I tell anybody starting out to pick 4-5 companies you absolutely love and load up on those. It makes no sense to have 10-15 stocks in your portfolio and only having 2-5 shares of each. You won't see real gains that way because you're spread too thin.

Most young bruhs should simply pick 4 companies and 1 ETF from this list and continue to dump money into them (until you have at least 25-30 of each and then you can add another stock into your rotation) and hold for the next 10 years. I GUARANTEE a nikka will be thanking me (if I'm still on the coli 10 years from now)

If I have to hear "a stock split doesn't change the value" one more time... these pundits are fukking idiots. Nobody thinks the value has changed.

This opens up the door for more retailers to get involved which in turn would drive up the price. It also opens the door for DOW inclusion and a better possibility of S&P inclusion..

And they are wondering why the stock price is shooting up? :stopitslime:

In my opinion, yes. They missed their quarterly earnings projections but I still view it as a solid company with good management. The drop today isn’t nearly as bad as it would’ve been if investors really didn’t have faith in the company. I’m hoping to get in under the $60 mark and load up whenever the opportunity presents itself. I’m going long on it though so I don’t expect much within the next couple years.
