I’m spending too much time on this stuff but the markets just been crazy. Covid has stuff in my area shutdown, so not much to do anyway. But your schedule is insane. damn, you getting returns well over 100%?

FE talked about how he used to spend all day just looking at market, was his only job. But then he realized he had more to do with his life.

I find this all fun (bull market though) but there’s also people that buy into great companies, only check account once a month and do great. After covid I could push myself to find a better job, or would like to find another good passive income stream. Dora’s real estate return isn’t the norm. It probably is the next step though for most people. I got some concerns in that area but don’t want to derail this thread.

Real estate is good but it is also catching the market at the right time and where you live. I mentioned on here how in 2009 after the economy tanked I bought 3 foreclosures for dirt cheap. Fixed them up and rented them out. Even sold one of them last year where I almost quadrupled my investment. But often times those type of returns are rare and depend on catastrophic circumstances.

I always say get as many money making streams you can find (good paying job, side hustle, side job) when the economy is good stack your money. Then keep cash available for tough times. Then when you see a bad economy hits pounce on any good deals you can find.

huge win. I’m late to pton. Got in at $100 because I didn’t take time to fully understand the business but now I really like them.

Yep it was a great investment and still has plenty of growth.

Another one folks forget to talk about is SHOP. It hasn't been climbing like it once was. But I got in at like 450 and that shyt is over 1100 now.

Yep breh a lot of kats make their money by leaaving a job and then rolling that 401k they had over to a traditional or a roth IRA.

That way with the IRA you can buy stocks and really make money. I will never forget a old timer hipping me to game once I got into corporate america. Old kat was like make sure you max out your 401k. Then once you leave roll that money over to an IRA and so you can start buying stocks and etfs. Old school was like trust you will thank me in the end.

Yeap that old kat sure was right....:wow:

This is just next-level game. Wish I had a great financial mentor when I was young.

You damn near got me thinking about looking for another job right now.

:mjlol: I think a viable strategy for you blue-chip/long term investors is not only to buy the stock on a dip and wait, but also do what you can to slowly chip away at your cost basis. For example, if you own JMIA and plan on it being 10x in the future (which it possibly can be), slowly build your position until you have 1-10k shares, then sell puts to lower your cost basis. If you can get your cost basis down to the cost of one share over time, than you're in retirement position. This should especially be the strategy for TSLA investors, if you plan on holding indefinitely, the play should be to lower your CB as TSLA continues to appreciate 5-10 years from now. Lower your CB a couple of hundred a week to increase your gains. Selling covered calls helps lower CB too.

:mjlol: This strategy increases your chances of not taking an L and selling in the green if it comes to that.

Charlie is all in on Tattooed Chef too, damn. Ton of hype this week.



FE has a big influence on alot of youtubers. :russ:

he started talking about it here and there and then boom he went in. no doubt other youtubers watch all his move. when he went in with BYND there were so many BYND vids just popping up left and right.

and i trust FE cuz he can't afford to fail. he has to make a right choice cuz his viewership depends on it. so doing your own DD is so damn overrated cuz ain't nobody gonna spend hours and hours of research like FE. :heh:

i was in the market to buy a property back in 2012. i always go to vegas in summer and i told my wife that we should buy a vacation home because it's dirt cheap. i mean 100k houses looked like a 400k house where i lived then. but ended up not pulling the trigger.

and it's sickening that i didn't pull a trigger.

most of houses i was looking at then is now 400-550k range. i would've 5Xed and it would probably continue to climb. i see it getting to 600-700k range in few years. they have a dirt cheap property taxes too. :francis:

Yeah F.E. does extensive research.. I remember us discussing all the upside with TTCF but I didn't hold many shares and the merger is always dicey..

I think under $25 is a steal if we're looking 3-5 years with their current valuation

Under $20 should be against the law lol. Im loading the boat if it dips under 20.. if not ill maybe slowly add... we'll see
