Hey Nerds: Blockchain

solid day.

aapl calls ripped, qqq did well. holding onto both with a decent cushion in case the market takes another dump tomorrow. got moar vff at a discount.
 
MSO folio was up 1.5% today in the end. I have shg in there too and that was down pretty big so that didn't help. Plus thumb was down the most of the big boys which hurt because it's my largest position. But It's relieving to see my wheeling and dealing outperform MSOS by a decent amount despite those factors. Makes it not feel like a complete waste of time. It's a grind.

Didn't balls deep the dips but did well enough in the end. My Columbia plays alone have saved me thousands these past few days.
 
my folio ranking is (momentarily) crazy now....I think CCHW fell from 3 to 8, even though I barely sold any....but I've been buying all the other ones.


TRUL

GTII
GRAM
AYR
TER
CURA
RIV
CCHW
VEXT

CL
 
the range in TRUL was $8.30 today

that's a lot of room to win....I caught 3.60 of the move but that wasn't even half

It's hilarious that you're making $$ off Columbia (of all things)

To anyone else, it's a dull stock that has been stuck at $9 for almost 2 weeks

my own issue with ZM, is that they haven't been around long enough for me to be convinced they can't be replaced

it's my own personal preference of course, but I feel more secure with ROKU and ABNB, businesses that have been built through years of incremental gains

That's very true. It's the easiest to knock off its throne. But it's so engrained in the fabric of the pandemic era and probably so sticky, that I don't think it gets unstuck when covid is behind us. I think the only thing keeping it down currently is the expectation out there that once covid is gone, zoom will be irrelevant.
 
It was just 13 shares. That's like HALF of my MSOS position, so just imagine the kind of dough I am rolling in.

I haven't pulled any trigger yet. Today shook me.

When you buy in the 8.50 to 8.70 range and sell in the 9.09 to 9.34 range multiple times in 3 days it pays! The pattern has been obvious with ITG on the bid consistently at around 3pm. And today they gave me time to balls deep it at 8.50 while everything else blasted!

But I'm swinging some today for once so I hope we get continuation.

so for the non-LOF regulars in this thread, do you work for a living, or is trading stocks your living?

and I'm just curious, not judging (let's be real judgments were made long ago ;)). I recently opened a wealth simple account but have not found the time to do my research etc and feel confident enough to start doing things, despite my long-time ambitions to start more actively investing...

so basically I am wondering how the gainfully employed folks make time to be this in tune with the markets...
 
I'm a freelancer whose gigs vaporized when Covid hit -- I traded before that but not nearly as much.

My work has picked up a bit....but I make the bulk of my living in the markets.
 
I work from home and do what I have to do during the day (typically isn't much) but after 4pm is really when my work day begins. My line of work thankfully allows for that.

I've been eyeing SNAP for their AR. I was dumb for not buying them 18 months ago after hearing their advertising pitch in person...I came away very impressed with their offerings....that was $40 ago. I will buy the dip (if any)

I had a golden opportunity to get SNAP today....it went down to $56 and closed above $70. Missed it.

They spoke at an investor conference; talked bout how AR was going to grow their ad biz by 50% year over year

I'm a noobie, but I have a weird work schedule that lets me see most of the trading day before I go to work.

For me, I don't have the time - or probably the disposition either - to do the short term stuff that these two wizards do. I'm pure long term for the moment, and have been since I started. Even if you want to trade, I'd recommend you start just dipping your toe into a few companies you really like long term (to get a feel) and then just scope out other targets and take things as you slowly go forward. I'm also a big believer of not having a portfolio with dozens of names. So if you limit your focus to a handful, you won't need the time to undertake the totally daunting task of putting together a portfolio of 50 stocks. My two cents.
