Very nice. Anything under a 10 PE seems like a bargain in this market.

I’ve always liked the expensive tech stocks but the small/mid cap stocks have been great.

The Russell, specifically using IMW (which is the small-mid cap benchmark) has greatly outperformed the S&P 500 (the most accurate sampling of "the stock market" in the past 12 months. It's like 30% to 15%. The Russell is, by and large, where all of your value lies right now.

Wow haven't looked at Tencent in quite some time and noticed it's getting close to hitting 1T market cap. Stock has been steadily climbing for the last year.

Pinterest had good earnings after hours, didn't think the stock was going to grow as much as it did the last year, possibly bolstered by the pandemic?

Almost all green in premarket today.

LIFE up 25% today as well.

Man, I remember almost buying PENN at $9. I never ended up getting in on it.

Congratulations on it for those who bought the March low.

I bought around $30 and flipped it for a quick 15% back when it was around those level. Think I may have held it for a day or two

Still have done well with DKNG so can't complain much.

In at $4.40 out at $5.85.

Will try and scoop more shares on the way down to $4.80-$5 range if it gets there.

Bought some CLOV options. Sold a few off for a quick 20% today, but holding the rest for a reversal from the short attack on it.

Otherwise nothing, just let my hedges expire.

Ended up starting a position in FRX with 100 shares at $10.82. Will look to add in the next couple weeks based on its action and the action of the other stocks in my trading account.

Also, in the last few of months of large gains, I have been shifting some of those winnings into high dividend stocks (mostly Realty Income Corp —- ticker O). I’ve become a bit overweighted in O for this purpose, so today I added a small amount of Hawaiian Electric (ticker HE). I’ve been in it twice before and it quickly spiked which caused me to sell out for the gain rather than the intended park and hold to get dividend. We’ll see.

I am up 19.879% over my entire portfolio for the year.

I have been kind of in and out on a company a couple of times this year over a few different accounts. The story is that I had an interview at this company a few weeks back. I am an accountant by trade and education but I have an MBA with a concentration in Finance. The job was more Finance related but I wasn't truly qualified for the job (it was just kind of too many steps up in a different direction and frankly I was flattered to even get an interview).

Anyway, so I got a phone call stating that I didn't get the job. A PHONE CALL. I appreciated the call and asked if she (the HR person) had any specific reason that I wasn't chosen. I try to get as much information as possible to see if it's anything I can to improve on. Her response was that they simply has candidates with more relevant experience. Which, again, I wasn't really qualified for the job. I would have figured it out, but a lot of times you hire off of who looks better on paper plus the interview.

Why am I saying this?

I was so impressed with the phone call rejection and how pleasant the woman that I spoke to was that I picked up 1000 shares of the company. The company loses about $3 per share on a share price that just exceeded $30 today. They lose 10% of the price of each share a year with the stock at its 52-week high.

Anyway, my 1000 shares had a cost basis of $22/share. That phone call made me $8000 and I didn't even get the job.

I think it is great you put yourself out there. Without people on this forumn I wouldn't have two years ago.

33GHill · 02-05-2021, 11:32 PM

SGEN buyout rumors? Why the pop today? Not complaining here. Close to 1000% gains been holding for 10 years though.

FVRR killing it since March of last year, no complaints for a 300% gain.

Been hearing rumors of a crash but when have we not.

patchgenie · 02-06-2021, 11:26 AM

i don't think we'll go down much with the fed pumping money in every month, another round of free stimulus money, more vaccines coming online.

could change my opinion when fed stops pumping money in, i'd guess at the end of the year.

i'm sure most people will just get the JNJ or novavax one as they don't have the cold storage issue.

plenty of blind euphoria though.

33GHill · 02-07-2021, 02:41 PM

Trimmed 1/4 here at $60

Nice trade so far

I've sold off nearly all my shares of NNDM, but it continues to surge.

The company that I was mentioning here was up another 7.2% today. I am up 58.62% since 1/14 on this position.

I am up 34.77% since 2/2 in a position in another account.

finfangfan · 02-09-2021, 05:49 AM

Disney made another all-time high yesterday after it crossed $190 for the first time. The stock has performed extremely well overall during the pandemic on the strength of robust DIS+ subscriptions.

Now it looks like the recent stock price upswing is being driven by the optimism of a post-Covid world bringing back bread and butter theme park and movie revenues.

This stock is a forever hold for me, but it’s nice to see it have such a strong year with all of the challenges. Heck... even Iger stepped down last year and they dropped the dividend.
