So GM down 7%, while RIVN up 5%.

Assuming the latter is up because they are built in the US and have little exports and thus are not effected by tariffs?

Same with TSLA, which you know, looks a little nefarious.

RIVN and TSLA up. I guess due to being mostly US made.

Elon agrees with the bad look

Anyone have thoughts on the company Glaukos? Amy Zhang was talking about it yesterday on CNBC. She’s been a top ranked analyst for years and knows healthcare stocks.

I could care less about what GME does.

But the more companies (and govt's for that matter) that do this the more the supply demand dynamic pushes BTC's price upward.

Staying long.
Do what? Issue debt to buy BTC? Are there more companies? Which government is doing that?

Probably a good idea. How about BBAI calls? Prepare for the next pump!
Last I checked it was 6x price to sales.

I'm just holding the stock. Granted I'm way in the red, but seems like a good hold here.

Yeah, it's probably best just to hold the shares, but I've been on a leap call kick for the past few months (especially for trades).

I've added to ALDX and ZETA contracts.

There are a lot of companies jumping onboard. Not saying that is a good thing. I believe there is a significant first mover advantage, but who knows. I guess it will work if BTC keeps going up. MSTR's BTC cost basis is about $30K, so they are in great shape.
You’re way way way way off. MSTR’s cost basis is over $66k. They really ramped up purchases the last few months, and almost all purchases since November are under water. Saylor now has an unrealized gain of only 28% and he started buying in 2020 when BTC was really low. My 1st purchase was way after (Jan 2024) and my unrealized gain is 48%.

Gotta be in it for the long-term. Keep buying! :)

WTF happens. New CEO or other news?
I don't follow the stock other than it being brought up here and I see they jus appointed a new CEO a day ago. It's down 40% and trading is halted with news pending. I said when it was in the mid singles it's a fairly defined loss if you step in and I suppose bankruptcy would be the thing to worry about. New CEO to come in and clean things up? I don't know the state of the company really to comment.

edit: it's trading again but I don't see any news come across...maybe it wasn't news pending and just the circuit breaker.

I don't see anything new either. CEO was yesterday morning, so it can't be that. Restructuring? Financing? CHIPs Act? Let's see what happens.

GLD futures = money tree!
I really don’t even know what “futures” are when it comes to investing in GLD. Is it more risky then just buying physical? Any time I’ve purchased PM’s I just bought the physical.

Ain't nothing more expensive in this world than free. Dig deeper on this one. You'll see your no fees are costing you a lot. Learn about how brokers trade, from what accounts they trade from, the execution price, etc.
I wonder if anything has changed in the 5 years since that was posted

NKE has penetrated to the downside that 20+ yr support. If it stays down there which is reasonable it’ll likely be a tough one to take back, although I was surprised a little while back how GE took back a 8 year level fairly easily.

Consumer discretionary like it, DECK, LULU largely look like they’re going to be facing upcoming headwinds. NKE has its own slew of issues on top of that as well.

I did very well with LULU last year. Bought around $250 and sold around $400 (IIRC, little under). Might be time for another position. Great brand. Great projects. Experienced and conservative leadership.
