Economy stonks v15, lucid madness

I'm considering buying some puts on CCIV.
 
Yeah I'm confused by why these things wouldn't have any effect. Is Amazon just too powerful at this point and not a good gauge for news like that?

Because corporations of that size are not tethered by management, but by the sheer gravitational force emanating from their mass and whatever the market does. Especially when they don't actually have a "flagship product(s)" like say a MSFT or Apple that require a "visionary leader" or whatever bullshit the market laps up when judging products.
 
Getting back into doing little investing. I'm looking forward to Rivian (automaker) going public. I really like their new truck design, plus they're backed by Amazon and Ford. Amazon ordered 100,000 electric delivery vans from them. I also tried my first crypto with Cardano (ADA). One of the co-founders of Ethereum started the project and their plan is to be a fortune 500 company. I have my eye on one of the pharmaceutical companies doing some trials for one of their drugs. I'll have to do more research on that.

I get that, but the union vote seems like it should be a bigger issue.

You don't enjoy the break from having to be so dialed in? Not sure how long you've been doing it for a living, wondering about burnout though. You guys are (seemingly) making nonstop quick decisions all day during the week and always having to be "on". Maybe I'm overstating it...

Just seems like a couple days to tune out a bit and do something else isn't the worst thing? Whatever, I'm just playing armchair shrink and am probably full of it. I work a normal sales job and can't say at all what it's like to be a day trader.

Under "normal" conditions yes very much so and loving long weekends, but until I have a vaccine and/or most people dont have covid and shit is open up, I'd rather be accruing dough during these historic times of market popularity and then actually enjoying my down time thereafter.
 
You guys have a “go to” investor site? I’m very wary of any mainstream sites especially after what I saw with GME. They downplayed the whole thing in order to save the mega investors.

Makes you wonder about their intentions when they pump things as well.

That makes sense for sure. I didn't even consider the Covid angle.

Everyone is selling something.
 
I thought to myself... self, you may want to pick up some BDX stock what with the paucity of low dead volume syringes, and the obvious incoming demand. ... Trading @ $254... missed the boat on Jan 27th.

Then I though, hmm, maybe Smiths Medical, but the parent company is so fucking gigantic that this syringe business likely won't cause a blip.

Part timers don't have much of a chance in Stonksworld.

it's kinda like that. i prefer being 'on' rather than 'off.'

plus, philly sucks now and it sucks even more when it's snowing. i really should move someday.

I'm in Wisconsin bro. Other than college, lived here my whole life (and I went to school in MN which is even worse). Right now we have so much snow there's not much room left to put it anywhere. I snowblow my driveway and it barely clears the huge snowbank. And now...it's gonna be a week of insane cold. Negative 15 degrees tonight.

And we committed to not moving until our daughter finishes school...which is in about 8 years. And my wife is a VP at her company and loves it there so even then...IDK (I can do my job from anywhere). I told my daughter that in 12 years when she's done with college she needs to move somewhere warm because for sure I'll be able to convince my wife to follow her since she's our only kid.

I hate winter.

i mean, i don't really mind snow in general. but snow in cities with already bad streets (and worse management/infrastructure) is just awful. add in the lockdowns and etc, and there's no damn reason to be in philly except murder and fentanyl.

Looks solid bro. I'll buy more on any dips. The articles I have read are bullish and the outlook looks promising. I think now is the time to buy before it makes bigger moves.

I also like the look of ZUO. So will buy a couple of hundred shares Monday.

Yeah I will try to set up a depot at my bank there is a couple of stocks I think will rise the next couple months and then there is the whole lucid motor merger thingy.
CATB is one I am keeping a close eye on as well, I feel like buying and going for long is the play here.
 
Can I pay some of my gains for the year to make Bitcoin ppl stop talking? Please advise.
