I thought Bond was the main point of the deal.

That's what I did this time. It just felt right and safe this week with everything going up. Usually I buy stuff I want to own and sell them out 1-2 weeks a bit out of the money

I saw at least 5 articles (3 this morning) stating they were not, but of course when I go to find one, I can't.

I did find this...which..doesn't say they don't, but it does state they do not have exclusive rights to new Bond films - at least initially, and that many properties are already going to other streaming services....so I'm not sure.

If I see something more definitive I'll post.

James Bond producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson have vowed to keep the iconic British spy in movie theaters, despite streaming giant Amazon’s $8.45 billion acquisition of 007 studio MGM.

“We are committed to continuing to make James Bond films for the worldwide theatrical audience,” Broccoli and Wilson, who run London-headquartered Eon Productions, told Variety in a statement.

You are mixing apples and oranges. They will own Bond, but the new movie is going to theaters first.

Yeah I’ve had it for a couple months now, probably sell it for a profit later today.

Own old content but still need permission from another party for a Jame Bond TV series.

Yeah I bought too much when it was 70 cents. Bought more at 59 and 53 cents usd.

Not going to get rich but be nice to get my money out and a bit of profit.

Hopefully goes up 2-3$ from here. Probably just dump it all at that point then take a smaller position if it goes back down and hold long term.

But that’s how it always was for mgm too. MGM only ever owned 50%…now Amazon owns their 50%.

MGM has some very convoluted licensing agreements, which Amazon will inherent, but it’s not like some other limbs are being cut off here and there.

At least that’s how I understand it.

Oaken is correct. Here are two good articles that explain things.

I think Hiti is going to be one of those stocks I am in and out of for awhile as I see the potential. My first purchase of the stock was only recently at .63CAD as it felt too high before that. Short term, dilutions will be an issue, and the weed sector in general. Company will grow, but will need to raise a lot of money to do it.

Can't get any more technically sound than energy right now.

On April 22 OIH dipped to $174 and rallied right back. Started accumulating big at $192 on May 3rd.

Now 4th largest position at 82,212 shares. Also adding XOP in lesser numbers

Just the facts here. Not just some leg tingle feel . Although that works too!

Pre-reverse split it is still pretty cheap. They will likely get bought out down the road. Maybe Molson will buy the remaining shares?

Ok well I didn’t know that! Lol might have to buy back in when price looks good.

Sold my hexo as promised. Shoulda sold this morning but it’s tough to work ft and watch market. All good, lesson I need to learn is to just take small wins when trading.

Still holding ogi, cgc and Hiti.

Let’s see what next week brings.

Weed sector doing well today, hopefully it's not a 1 day thing and has some legs.

In your opinion would I be better off closing my position in XOM with stock appreciation and a pending dividend on the way and take those funds and put them into an OIH and/ or XOP at the moment? I have pretty limited exposure to energy outside of my work accounts. I know my family and I are making up for lost time when it comes to travel this summer! Looks like the number of people visiting tourist destinations is and has been going gangbusters the last few months and the summer numbers will be huge! Thanks

Run TELL run,,,BOOM BOOM. another 13% today.

I sold my HITIF a month or so ago and glad to be out of it, I went with Cron, the Marlboro backed US pot company, it just seemed like a bigger play. It's gone up 23.42%

I would do that and divide it into the XOP and OIH. Much more diversified and higher upside imho

I don't buy the XLE because XOM and Chevron make up about 45% of the overall weighting in the ETF

Very young client Roth. A beautiful thing! Nothing to rebalance. But down over last few months.

Actually Monster and Disney could get axed for Unity

I call this model “Blast off”.

Took "unrealized" gain/loss down, not buying some of those positions today, just holding . My publicly filed SEC quarterly form 13F shows all current holdings and position adjustments in the qtr. AAPL, PINS, V, MELI, SE and SHOP still top 10.

Thanks ice!!

Thanks, also I made a nice chunk of change on XOM, thanks for the recommendation!

He can't be that young if he got into APPLE at an average cost of $27.

5 years ago

The first bite of Apple came on Aug. 17, 2014 for about $12k. That position has remained "locked" since then.

Apple is up 396% in 5 years. So the timing wasn't perfect.

All of the other positions, via a small Roth conversion, including Shopify up 725% were purchased on 1/11/19. Maybe you remember the Fed raising rates in the 4th qtr of 2018 then reverse course, Apple missed it's numbers due to China for the first time ever that holiday season.

What a Xmas buying season that was. Never forget working on Xmas eve and the weeks after scooping up sales . It was a terrible market that 4th quarter. A sign of what's coming when the FED does have to begin raising rates in the future.

Next time opportunity knocks, be ready, Jan of 2019 after the 4th qtr selloff and April/May of 2020.

I guess it's true, 30 isn't so young?

Lol...that kid is ruined....trust me, he probably thinks making money is reeeal easy. He's in for a rude awaking.

Lol. She pays NO attention and has no clue how good that is! She will later in life, how about the next 40+ years to compound gains tax free? Most of the young ones think life goes on forever.

If we could only go back in time and do some things over again.

I hear you, I sold Amazon at 60. I sold Google too at 150, Oh boy, funny.

This massive tax hike is only going to get bigger!

I wish I bought AAPL shares back around 1980 instead of spending $2k on an Apple computer

My oldest AAPL was from 2009 at $4-5/share price adjusted for splits.

The time to drop 10grrr was when the first IPhone came out.

When Bill Gates appeared at Macworld in 97 was the time to buy. But of course that would have required a big set of brass ones given it looked like Mac as a hardware platform was going away.

No shit. If only!

What stocks will we be saying that 10-15 yrs from now?

GME!

Hmm, that's a hard question but I would guess companies that are dabbling in CRISPR tech could potentially be worth hundreds of billions in the future...I would also bet Crypto is going to be very profitable since it's gone mainstream.

Companies I like for 10 years down the road:

Etsy
Fiverr
Docusign
PayPal

Companies that make money now, have a large opportunity to grow, and are good products. If they don’t make money currently I wouldn’t even consider them, very few unprofitable companies become juggernauts. In fact the only one I can think of is Tesla, and that seems like more of an anomaly or bubble than anything else as they don’t actually dominate any part of their industry but are valued as if they sell more cars than everyone else combined.

Commodities are back on a roll today

REITs are looking good today. My watchlist for them is green and my fun play in WPG is very green today.

Been a while, but CCIV!

This is an inflation play...I'm looking to get into MORT and VNQ waiting for a pullback

Closed my position today for a 20% gain in 1 month, not bad

Oil has been on a roll. THIS is how you look at the "technicals"

The S&P 500 has been FLAT since April 16th. BUT...the advance/decline is a +1,247 to an all time signaling MORE upside to come.

Energy, financials and materials continue to lead the way for now

OIH and XOP up over 4% today and that crapper MAC is up another 5.5% today.

I'm still sitting on my puny 83 shares of AMC I grabbed back in January for $4.70. Should I dump them now or keep on holding?

sell and don't look back

Take the money and run. Buy you some Smoke Wagon with your gains.

Bookmarking this. Will check back in 6 months

I think the Smokewagon will be worth more in the 6 months than this stock. Good thing our buddy in AZ is hooking you up.
