Beyond Meat.... are you KIDDING me!?

Yeah just absolutely insane bullshit lol. I should know better than to ignore fads tho

 

[Revolver]

Well Revolver; we'd have DOUBLED OUR MONEY if we had held onto beyond just weeks ago lol

lmao. More than doubled. This stock is ridiculous. I don't get it. We totally missed the boat on this one. On to the next.

 

[brackis1]

Good there is goes back down 9%, fuck you beyond meat lol
So bitter I only scalped 5% @ $60 lol

Should have shorted GES after hours, gave back all its gains and then some. I'm doing that to Zumiez right now. Guidance of 0-2% growth and up almost 20% because of a 15% short float.

Woooot grabbed some CZR thanks to the non zuffa Fertitta on CNBC saying he was still considering buying company. Just ripped up 3%!

lol nice. I assumed he was related to the Zuffa Fertittas.

I bought Wynn recently. Casino stocks have taken a beating.

Yeah I was pretty bummed I left my Wynn short flat @ 140.
Wynn has decent pure gambling upside, but CZR I see as more likely for "mega gains" on a buyout or ongoing mainstream partnerships for sportsbetting.

And looky looky it's up 7% AH now and rumors an Icahn approved sale @ $11 or more!

 

[rob mafia]

lol GRPN is a total joke and I have no idea how it still exists

yup. but last i knew, their financials were superb. they just don't seem to be doing anything with all that money. at least, yet.

 

[brackis1]

God damnit fucking Beyond rising back again. I have no steak in this (eh?) but I want everyone involved to lose their shirts. Same with any asshole who bought Tilray above 100 lol.

My Moneygram spec play might be a live dog now; "rumors" that the Ripple crypto is going to buy/merge with them.

1 year analysis: up 18.1% vs S&P up 1.94%, NASDAQ down 1.48%, and killing all other indices.

For a buy and hold investor, focusing on quality stocks who grow dividends at a good rate, I'm damn happy with this. My goal is to have 10+% div growth annually (div percent + div growth percent), and I'm at 12.39% right now (2.59% div with 9.8% growth). Fuck yeah, I'll take a near 10% pay raise each year! When I get closer to retirement, I fully expect to change to a lower growth, higher div environment because 6% div growth is still fantastic. I'm expecting divs to slow their growth in the next few years anyway, so that 9.8% to drop to about 8% or less in the next 1-3 years, and that's ok with me.

 

[brackis1]

Well I'm up to watch Federer-Nadal and glanced premarket. BYND back up at 126 again jesus fucking christ. If I was gonna hold a long thru overnight earnings I should have rotated out of Ollis into these fad stocks (this and Zoom). Not gonna chase it but goddamn investors love to herd in and out.

At the beginning of the year, finally rolled over my 22 yr old 401k to my new company’s plan...btw, new company match is friggen 9%...looked at it a few weeks ago and was wondering why it grew by $35k...not counting contributions...realized I had forgotten to move 75% into a cap pres fund (10 yrs till retirement)...talk about a bitter sweet decision to move that 75% from solid performing growth funds...to cap pres funds but I’m a bit more conservative these day...will post the growth funds later but pretty sure they were “blue chips funds..anyhow, 25% and all new contributions are in growth funds...gotta have a little risk.

Gimme your thoughts @MASShole ....I remember we spoke about this stuff at your store

 

[JonesBones]

I had a small position on WING a while back and it's taken off. Another stock I should have held on to

 

[rob mafia]

with a day as green as this, i wish i wasn't sitting with 3/4 of portfolio in cash.

oops.

cleaned up on all moves yesterday (and got seconds of groupon that i already sold again). now i'm bored again. i was expecting/hoping for tariffs/negative nancy news to rebuy some positions (most notably, amd) at a lower price.

With bond funds and treasuries paying so little nowadays, it's difficult to invest in them IMO. You still want a good portion in equities for sure, probably closer to 60% overall, with the other 40% in those other types of funds, maybe even high yield or REITs so you get some income off of them. Feel free to share the list of investments that are available to you and we can look at them. 9% match is great! I'm about to get a job at a startup, no match, so we'll just pile money into my wife's 401k, where she gets 50% match up to $19,000 which is unheard of.



LMT finally went over 100% return for me, sitting at 107% total return from initial investment. Remember I bought Boeing? Yeah, then the crash stuff happened and I'm down 15% overall. I had MMM up for a long time, then it slowly went back down to 0% return, and last quarter's report made it go to -15% too LOL.
