Stock Market Traders?

Holy cow, maybe you need to diversify slightly
My portfolio is down 2.37%

Bought more PINS, AAPL and STPK on that dip. Great buying day, if you have the nerve to do it. Those are my longs, so no worries.

Only 25% now... but just to clarify that is the day trading fund. Most everything in sensible ETFs and mutual funds.

well shit, that dip lasted all of about 20 minutes.

I just bought more AAPL, GNOG, PLTR, AMD, and FSLY. This was a gift today. Plenty of capital left to go buy more when I need to. Set it and forget it.

Just jumped back into PLTR @ $25.99, figured it was a good entry point.

Do your own diligence, but AMD at these levels is a gift. Down from 99 to low 80's. They are eating Intel's lunch and have so many avenues of growth.

Screw it... sold off my other day trade holdings and went all in on CCIV. Now cost averaged in at 30.34 a share.

Added more to my PLTR, UPWK and AMD positions.

Holy crap, that dip didn't last long. This is the part I hate about stocks. It seems that the last few years you have to basically be sitting on it to catch anything.

Glad I was sitting in front of my computer when it happened! Love these shopping opportunities!

This is just red days in the market. Crash this ain't.

Same. Was actually on a call with my broker and he had a big trade go off on AMD while we were talking. Hopped on that bandwagon.

Set your buy points and if they go off, congrats. I am also a fan of stops and trailing stops. The past year I have been off the road so I have been able to pay more attention to minute by minute things. When we get back to normal, I will be in facilities most of the time and can not have my phone. I look forward to that.

Thanks to iceman44, I look at days like these as opportunities to add to my longer term positions because they are on "sale". It's completely changed my mindset on red days for the better.

These are the days where you setup to make money.

The greatest thing that shifted my mindset about investing and money was an ad that I saw in Kipplinger's 7-10 years ago. It asked "Are you saving for a rainy day or a sunny tomorrow?" This hit me like a thunderbolt. I actually lost sleep for a few nights contemplating this. If you get your head around this concept it will change your life.

I remember the days where you would check the paper for stock prices. Those were different times where you would see you just lost your profits and have to call your broker to sell your positions, so individual investors really got screwed.

Anyone get in on C3 Ai? I loaded up @$111. More PLTR and PSTH. Was hoping to get in on AirBnB and snowflake, still way to high.

Who knows, what we saw today could've been a dead cat bounce of a larger downtrend. Or just retail investors getting spooked, once again.

C3.AI is still too high in my opinion.

I feel the same way about PLTR, hype stocks. Wish I never bought any ETF's, the only reds in my portfolio... Better off picking my own stocks.

I am in the big data/analytics arena and know both companies very well. In my opinion, PLTR has greater upside than C3.AI from a business perspective. PLTR is very well entrenched, especially in the Federal market sector. C3.AI has great bonafides, but is still trying to find their way in a very crowded market sector.

None of this has anything to do with stock price.

STRATEGY: Is TICK -1400 signaling bottom? Anonymous Technician says TICK + TLT "green" = sign of capitulation

The market open today sure felt like a mini-"flash crash" with stocks universally gapping down big.

The ostensible reasons are:

- Fed speaking today and everyone worried about a rate eruption (rates surge)
- Tech has been underperforming while Epicenter is rising, and this is an awkward rotation

But still, big selling at the open.

I got this email from an anonymous technician, or AT. As many know, our beloved Rob Sluymer, formerly head of TA, is now a client at RBC.

See the comment below:

- TICK -1400 is a potential sign of capitulation
- TLT trading positive, opposite of rate eruption fear
- VIX after surging to 27, is now basically flat

STRATEGY: We are steady buyers as we see multiple supports for stocks... but stick with Epicenter... they are underowned... not crowded trades

Very smart Wolf, make your target list that you have conviction on for the next 3-5 yrs and buy accordingly.

The fear and panic over interest rate spikes will subside soon enough. People are getting freaked out over the "re-opening" and how fast that is going to hit us, coupled with the absurd amount of stimulus will spike inflation. Powell says, "not to worry about that right now". Lol, okey dokey

I would still have that barbell approach. Long term growth holds and short term "epicenter" or in the ditch rotation plays.

XEC has their earnings call today - up big in anticipation

So whay are the "epicenter" plays?

If you own MAC then make sure you read and understand this.

Added some more silver mining today with AG

https://seekingalpha.com/news/3664599-cimarex-energy-eps-beats-0_18-beats-on-revenue

XEC was one of them. SLB, PXD, HP, HFC, EOG in energy and many others in travel and industrial related. I've been buying those along with MGM, VICI, LVS, MAR, BKNG etc. Just bought more MAC today.

Commodity miners as an inflation hedge. BHP, VALE and RIO

I posted a link to the under valuation of energy stocks that Tom Lee sees based on $60 per barrel oil.

Vaccines are here, herd immunity, things are re-opening, planes, trains, automobiles and boats are coming this summer like it or not. Pent up demand. All of this = COMMON SENSE. Been saying for quite some time now.

The last 2 days dips screwed me on AI. I am hesitant to buy down at this time. I'm averaged $135 and was making a nice profit. I was planning on dumping it in March. Now I'm down. BOOO.

Hey iceman44, surprised you did not have SABR in your recovery plays. Seems like it has broken out. I would think you would see SABR move before the airlines based upon how ticketing is done.

Loaded up more last Thursday after ex-dividend date

I assure you at some point we shall crack open that Rémy Martin Louis XIII !

Looks like Oshkosh got the USPS contract. RIP to anyone still holding WKHS...down 50% on that news.

turnaround tuesday: markets on fire !

Wild day! Congrats to everybody that bought the dip this AM. We made money from where we bought and some things actually closed green for the day! Love days like this!

As I've said, not too many bright bulbs at that place.

It's kind of annoying. I didn't miss the dip because I was right in front of my computer watching it happen, but I was trying to practice patience as so often my impatience comes around to bite me. But alas, trying to be patient to see if the dip continues ("don't try and catch a falling knife") is what costs me money today. sighhhh

Be patient, don't be patient, I never know what to do it seems sometimes. I guess that's what makes it fun too? It's kind of like the "just one more ball" feeling that you get from certain pinball machines.

Down 29.5% for the day but still way up this month. As an aside this is my day trading account and most of our money is in sensible mutual funds and ETFs.

Now let’s see what happens with earnings this week for some of these high flyer techs.

I’m bearish for tdoc, bullish for jd

And psth announcement incoming? It’s anyone’s guess on that timing.

I don't know about their commercial business, but Oshkosh defense is killing it on tactical vehicles. Will probably be hampered by current administrations defense budget, but might be a good long term look. That said, I've never researched their (or any other defense company) stock cause I can't own them

I understand your pain. That is why I go set either electronic or mental price targets on stocks and when they hit that area, go buy. It changes things like the dip today from a missed opportunity to a happy occurrence. But the key is having a plan ahead of time.

At 20, when I got out of college and started my first job. I'm 43 now.

I was talking aboot WKHS. Oshkosh is a great Company.

In 1997, I was actually present at McNeilus (in Dodge Center, Minnesota) the day their acquisition was announced by Oshkosh Truck. Dennis McNeilus personally went out on the shop floor and assured all production employees that he was staying on to manage the business for at least two years and that unlike many corporation games, there would be no layoffs or other "synergy bullshit".

I started investing in mutual funds in my early 20's, then moved on to stocks around my mid 20s. Wish I was maxing out my Roth IRA the whole time, but spent some time broke as fuck. Definitely wish I got was more involved with it, but went in ebbs and flows. Was thinking of starting a custodial account for my daughter and just putting money into and s and p index fund every month for her.

I see that. It looks like a great way to play the travel surge. $20 52 week high. I'm staying away from airlines.

BKNG is back to 52 week high. Pricey valuation for sure.

Bingo. SNAP gave a little boost to PINS today. And the "Microsoft put" is firmly in place.

But....if anyone is scared short-term, the market just gave you another chance to get out.

Thanks for the heads up on this one. My play account is small (and not really focused on 'buy and hold') so I was only able to grab a couple of shares, but I plan to accumulate more on dips whenever I can.
