    No idea. I really don't care if my shares are with a company that is a part of the Dow, or any of the S&P's or what. I just want my shares to make me money.

    They could drop any moment depending on news. I still like LUV, but I already bought and sold that, and doesn’t fit my long term strategy. And Short term upside just isn’t appealing enough compared to other opportunities

    Sold my LUV shares. You guys talked me into it. Took the 37% profit. Still holding the bag on FLIR that I should have exited months ago.

    As much as I appreciate your advice I'm stoked I didn't take it. TOL is up 2.5% after hours.

    Beat ESP by 30.4%.
    Beat revenue by 6.5%
    Beat margin by 4.3%
    Highest ever singed contract count for new home delivery.

    I'm smiling. lol

    I own AAL. I bought near the second valley. I am up about 9%, but it has been all over the place. Long term hold for me. Tiny exposure. Basically a roulette table bet for me.

    I take the example of his honorable buffet. No airlines. I did for a bit there, didn't get burned but no thanks. They're wicked volatile and subject to so much random outside influence that is difficult to recover from, let alone the normal stresses. If we don't see AAL, DAL, UAL, or LUV sold off to one another during Q4 or in 2021, I'll be surprised. I'll lump in JBLU, too for safe keeping - they're one of my preferred airlines so I hope JBLU doesn't get bought out. I can see them and LUV merging though.

    Edit: Forgot, yeah I have a few shares of FLIR too. I'm not too far up though, in at 37.20.

    Well...I just saw my Account was suddenly GREEN for the day and I was all WTF happened after hours...Well apparently the Sorrento CEO was quoted on twitter as saying to shorts "I'm giving them a fair warning shot. Just cover yourself, don't ruin your family"

    and then SRNE was suddenly up after hours 15%....

    He's implying stock price will go up. Google "covering shorts" and "short squeeze".

    I think it means to cover your shorts (buy the shares back), rather than wait until the price goes up and have to buy back higher (and ruin your family).

    I understood it as get out while you can if you have large sums invested, e.g. - pull your kids’ college fund out now. Cryptic tweets will be the death of society :bananadead:
