My 3 best stocks today are DDOG, DKNG, and DCP.
Think I'm going to buy some Delta. Any other recommendations?

OT: Stock and Investment Thread
- Thread starter RU05
- Start date
I applied right away at 62, figured I didn't want for them/SS to owe me any money when I croaked. I've never stopped working, but checked the $ total till I was allowed to earn as much as I wanted without the $ penalty.
Now it's all gravy and I can earn as much as I/We feel like. Mary Anne, I had wait and so now we get 2 nice checks, one on the second Wed and one on the third Wed (TODAY !).
Now it's what we're going to give one of the families this week. Thinking pergola for the pool or a sauna in the basement.
Full benefits don't start until 66, soon to go to 66 1/2, and increase each year you wait. If you're under 66 and working the benefits can be reduced once your wages exceed a certain amount. The decision varies with the person, and has to have health and family longevity taken into account. Don't believe anyone who tells you it's one choice fits all.
I knew about the limit on income, but that only goes for people that are younger then full benefits age?
I have a small position in DDOG.
Personally, I would stay away from airline stocks for a while - unless you are trading. Orlando Airport tested 500 workers for coronavirus - half tested positive.
As for recommendations: SE & DXCM have been very good to me. I also like NVDA a lot. For an all-around great index ETF, is there anything better than QQQ?

There is really no reason to execute your Warrant and exchange it for the common stock (or whatever the warrant is issued for), unless you have a reason you want to own the stock the warrant represents or the warrant is about to expire soon. It will trade up and down with the price of the underlying stock and it will appreciate in bigger % than the common stock.
What you are doing when you execute the warrant is giving the parent company funds to operate the business. 1,000,000 Warrants get executed with an execution price of $ 5, that's 5 million to the company. That's good and bad. The company may need the funds, but it dilutes the float and may have a negative effect on the new stock.
Usually warrants are part of an IPO issue and are put into the deal to reward the investors buying the IPO, thereby trusting the Company to grow and be successful. Once the units are separated some investors like to sell the common stock and hold the warrants. Thereby eliminating their risk/exposure if the company founders. If it grows then they can trade the warrants or execute them.
Recommend you diversify by letter of the alphabet...there are stocks besides ones with symbols starting with D :Wink:
Ya while high flying days are fun, the volatility is nerve racking, I'd sign up for a slow upward trend.
Looks like the party will continue for a while:
The stock market may be pricey, but it’s nothing like the genuine market bubbles of the past

Interesting info, how media induced panic creates a brief market crash:
U.S. banks are ‘swimming in money’ as deposits increase by $2 trillion amid the coronavirus
https://www.cnbc.com/2020/06/21/ban...-in-deposits-since-coronavirus-first-hit.html
Sooner or later this money will jump back into the game.

This is not a good fact for the economy. Just look at Japan. We need people to spend money, not save it.Interesting info, how media induced panic creates a brief market crash:

NVDA finally a name I own and recognize lol...most of the others mentioned I'm like huh haha. Has been an absolute monster these last handful of years. I can't believe how much it shot up. I've owned it for a long time and have and extremely low cost basis in it....sold off 1/3 (in the 100s) and 1/3 (in the 200s) positions awhile back not wanting to be greedy and the thing still keeps going. The last 1/3 is there for good and see where it goes. I wouldn't add it here but if it ever had a strong pull back and it has in the past it's a not a bad name for the future.
With tiny, tiny saving interest rates, I assume/hope this money will get off the sidelines soon.
Much of this money is temporary with PPP and other Pandemic funding hitting the largest commercial banks in the US. Once regular people churn thru the 1,200 bucks and the 600 bucks then there will be another Headline in the sky is falling; "Deposits drop at an alarming rate !"
it will help the equity market for the short term. But at some point, Wall Street will have to converge with Main Street. I think people will be happy with zero rates vs negative returns.
We've got the 2 ends of the spectrum covered. We'll probably end up in the middle.
Shout out to my fellow RU track alum and favorite financial guru for recommending DDOG and FSLY to my wife to invest some of her inheritance on back in January/February. FSLY is up about 400% and DDOG is up about 300% in just 3-4 months.

I hate watching stocks I held and then moved on from jump.
APT was lagging forever(which was merely a couple weeks in my newborn trader mind) and then takes off a couple weeks after selling.
Next up was penny stock SHIP, which I bought and sold at around .18 cents. Sold it just last week trying to clean up my portfolio as I was holding too many speculative positions. Shot up to .32 cents today.

Are we talking SHIP here?
Even if Barstools is the impetus it's still a chance to make money. Money has certainly been made off his recommendations, no matter have flimsy, in recent weeks. Lots of money.
ya Dave Portnoy pumped it today. Whatever he pumps will go up. You just gotta get out before he and his followers dump it.
I assume he was in on UONE which went from $1.50 to $50 in a week?
That was another one that I noticed the jump early and it piqued my interest, but decided to not play it given I had too many speculative plays already.
Not sure but it seems likely. There is a big pump and dump thing going on on social media.
