Sold spg and nxst. Now I need more buying opportunities. Anything down today?

 

SCO...

 

Surprised it didn’t recover today. Wonder how far it’ll drop

 

yeah I opened up a Fidelity for long term investing.. plus you can buy fractional shares. Need to throw a little bit of money at the big boys at some point (AMZN, GOOG, etc)

 

Yea I’m not sure about that

 

Not now.

 

Sometimes up days can be a little boring

I want to buy something

 

A lot of things are actually getting expensive again.

 

FNGD is down, but I don't know enough about it

 

If I thought there was a smooth ride back up from here I’d pick stuff up. But still seems we could see things go the other way just as easily as it’s gone up today. I’m happy with the long holds I’ve added to, and it’s been good to flip a few random stocks for 25% after a couple days or a week. I’ve never really operated that way, but this market has played well for that. Just not seeing anything today I don’t think will be cheaper sometime in the next week or 2

 

Companies like TGT, AMZN, GIS, etc. are at or near all time highs. I’m not buying those here. Then you have the mortgage REITs that could double and still not be back to their old prices. There’s probably some opportunity if you know what to look for. I am locking in high yields on Blue Chips whenever I can.

 

I feel like selling some NAIL at 22. bought at 15. Anyone think itll dip after today?

 

I think everything will dip after today. It always does after a day like this.

 

Ill throw a limit on it. Its not many shares anyway

 

I recently got into the market with the dip. I've never messed with stocks, aside from managed stuff in my retirement accounts. I took about 20 hours worth of decent online introductory courses (don't worry, none of those "my secret formula!" courses).

I've gotten into a decent spread with a modest initial investment. Some oil stuff (RDS.B), some REIT (TWO, RWT), a smidge of retail... so far I'm coming out ahead. Overall my portfolio is up 25%. Obviously a big reason if for buying stuff at its bottom, so it's made me money even though it hasn't nearly come close to a recovery yet.

I think mostly I will have buy and hold, but will do some swing trading to build up the dividend investments more.

 

I bought 200 at 15, sold at 20 last week, then bought again at 13.90 and sold today at 20 something. Hoping I can do it again one more time.

 

Just sold my first covered call. RCL May 22 $47. Sold for $138. If it gets assigned I'm still at a 20% return on my purchase price. I can live with that.

 

I imagine so but that's simply due to volatility expectations rather than any analysis

NAIL and NGRU hit my limits this afternoon, 31% & 29% gains.

How much of a dip we might see is TBD, I'd like to jump back in lower and add some more gain.

 

Yep. I got rid of NAIL at 29% gains and 8 NVDA options at 123% gain. Still holding RCL and TECL. RCL will most likely be a long term hold. The amount of realized gains I made today is stupid.
