I jumped onto the bitcoin bandwagon once all these ETFs became available in January.
I use fidelity and I've been buying some fbtc every day it is down more than 1% from the open. I'm up 8% total since my first buy on 22 January. |

Threw some money at SNAP on the 32% off sale yesterday, long term bet, not a lot of money ... hoping eventually it will get bought.
How they can have that many eyeballs and still not find a way to make money is beyond me, yet its on almost everyones phone between 12 and 25. |

How they can have that many eyeballs and still not find a way to make money is beyond me, yet its on almost everyones phone between 12 and 25. Review your last sentence, there's your answer - it's a failed business model. Been short from 16-17 range, covered half and will cover the rest some time in the near future. Revenues aren't growing but cost of revenue keeps going up. Insiders have made 8.5 billion selling shares to suckers. I could see it getting bought too but that's very speculative (not my cup of tea) and would want a lower entry point. What's the business case for buying a cash burning business, especially right now when money is tight? Not sure if an acquisition from meta or similar would even get approved in the current environment. |

Picked up some Amazon timed for the dip when Bezo's dumped a few billion dollars worth of his. Only a few shares, the dip was smaller than I anticipated. And then some American Airlines because they were cheap and I wanted to drain my cash-balance closer to zero.

I prefer etfs to stocks when going long. Lately I've bought various energy etfs, and 1 weed etf, MJ. There are way too many weed related etfs and a fair number seem pretty shady when you look at their holdings which is no surprise. Definitely seeing more volume and my guess is it will get reclassified by potato head before the election and the connected know its coming. This along with the proliferation of state sanctioned gambling tells you all you need to know about society at this point.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Chromekilla: How do you screen, and what is your rationale for thinking there are some gains to be had? Palantir has technically be eligible for S&P inclusion since their Q3 earnings which was early November (I made a post about it in the MVIS thread at the time). S&P inclusion is just a matter of when. Institutional ownership is low comparatively so when it does happen the buying pressure it will see should be huge. If it doesn’t happen Friday I’m fine with holding. They’ve already authorized a $1B share buyback so there are other bullish catalysts too. |

@Chromekilla
Should have clarified, I hadn’t screened for S&P inclusion, I’ve just been following PLTR for about six months and knew it was on the table. Others must have had the same idea cause it hit a 52 week high at the open and call options premiums shot up today. S&P inclusion usually brings in a bunch of buying pressure. I believe it’s something like $13T in ETFs and funds directly invested in the index. Looking back to Decembers rebalance Uber was added and its stock has nearly doubled since then. List was released after the close, Palantir got snubbed again. |

Is it likely the inclusion list is gonna jump on Monday and over the next 6 months? I’d be willing to bet there is a way to screen based on criteria but I don’t know how / never tried. Trouble is just because a company is eligible doesn’t mean that they’ll get in (at least right away). As far as price jumping, SMCI is on the addition list and the stock is up 12.5% after hours if that gives you an idea. Whirlpool is on the delete list and they’re down. See how it plays out in the next few weeks (actual change of the index will be on the 3rd Friday). |

The S&P is what most successful brokers use as a benchmark so why not just go with that? IVW is an example. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By jayjohnny: The S&P is what most successful brokers use as a benchmark so why not just go with that? Sign me up but another play is: Use the S&P500 (VWUAX, VFIAX for me personally) as the base of the mountain, 80%-90% of net worth and normal contributions such as 401k-ROTH and traditional investment vehicles. Then the remaining 20% is long (not trading) term winners like an AMZN, TSLA etc to help pull the overall ROR for the portfolio up a few notches. Time horizons is something which is the least talked about in most discussions. IMO, that should be the first statement made. Example, I scooped up $7,500 of NVDA at $615 6 weeks ago. My time horizon is year 2031 not a fixed dollar figure. Caveat is if the wheels fall off, that's different. |

Well, the AEP I bought around a month ago has gone up almost 10% and paid a dividend which dripped out a little over one share for the 100 that I bought.
So I got that going for me.

For example, one main account might me the boring standard tdf/sp500/total market fund/3-5 fund portfolio. (the bulk of what you do) Another may be random plays/bets/active trading. Another may have more growth funds. Another may be income/dividend focused. Least that is my strategy. Point being most of my stuff I want boring/no efforts. Others I want to enjoy some fun because researching, talking about/exchanging ideas and picking stocks is fun for me. |

Others I want to enjoy some fun because researching, talking about/exchanging ideas and picking stocks is fun for me. It is a rough job, but some one has to do it. Good thing that some of us enjoy it, because other wise we wouldn't have the price discovery that makes indices work. Different people have different personalities, so it is fine if some want to use index funds exclusively. Aso fine if some want to pick their own stocks, trade options etc. Room enough for both in the investment/ speculation world. I think those just starting to learn, or uninterested in the mechanics should heavily emphasize index funds. As you gain experience, trying new strategies might just work for you. |

I just keep hoping I can get in on one of those WSB gains, or hell even crypto to the moon. Sadly haven't yet. Guess atleast I don't have the loss porn from options though.

I'm 64. Moving slowly out of market into Money market. Still 60% Equities, 20% bonds, 20% money market.
I think I will stay around this percentage. So as the market moves up, I move the over 60% to money market. Been buying EPD, GLAD, SAR, and OBDC. Moving more towards dividend payers. |
