Blackrock has purchased like $600M in BTC over last couple days. Maybe more than that now. Nothing is decentralized and Fink has to control every aspect of life.

I have been slowly accumulating BYDDF (BYD Auto) over the last few months. It’s a Chinese electric vehicle company that has been performing well lately.

Looks like weight watchers is filing for bankruptcy.

Disney having a strong premarket. Up 9% and crossing above $100/sh for the first time in awhile.

Sold recent Amazon purchase for short-term gain, added with funds waiting and bought more GOOGL at $148.

We asked you some questions a few pages back that you ran away from.

I see people poo pooing on the UK deal this morning and the market’s reaction. The UK is irrelevant on trade, blah, blah, blah. It must suck to always so badly misinterpret what the market is looking for.

It’s hard for those people to make money when they don’t understand basics like: "the market craves certainty".

What do the suspended tariffs go back into effect?

finfangfan · 05-08-2025, 06:31 AM

Looks like we should open solidly green.

What would be the best option:

Sell a stock and pay off a mortgage that no longer gives a tax break.
Sell the stock and buy an ETF that pays a decent dividend and use that to pay the mortgage payment monthly until it’s paid off.
Keep the stock and reinvest the current dividends and then hope the stock rebounds in 10-20 years.

There are some other factors at play.
What is the stock dividend rate, proposed ETF dividend rate, and what is the mortgage rate?
Sounds like the stock is down. If so, is it a short term or long term capital loss? There are some tax implications there.
You also may want to wait on the SALT deduction decisions that should be made sometime this year.

I would think that depends on the rate on your mortgage. If that rate is 3% then the money in hand should provide a better return than the interest savings.

6.25 mortgage, six years left.

Current stock dividend rate is 6%, the one I’m looking at is closer to 11 but high risk.

I’m not sure of the cost basis. It might actually be at a loss.
