    Haha I was just basing what I said on something I recently read. I am reading the book The Intelligent Investor and there are some examples of some trendy methods that worked, but stopped working and screwed a lot of people. It was from the 80’s and 90’s but it was just pointing out that you can’t really trick the market, and even when you do figure out a way, everyone else figures it out too and it stops working. I am not trying to be a pessimist, maybe a realist though.

    Haha, you'll probably be fine. Netflix doesn't normally disappoint. Last time I owned their stock, there was a mild sell off because they were switching their business model to be streaming only, and they were stopping their DVD mail services. People were so pissed. Look at it now. No one in their right mind does DVD mailing anymore.

    Might be a good time to buy Starbucks soon. The libs will be protesting and boycotting, stock prices should drop, buy while it’s low, soon after everyone forgets why they were mad and it goes back up.

    Anyone else think it will go like that?

    Monday... nothing.
    Tuesday, bull day.
    Wednesday, bear day.
    Thursday, nothing.
    Friday, bear day.

    Rinse, lather, repeat.

    Still hoping BPTH goes up more so I don’t lose as much. Probably just going to dump it today. It’s been dropping every day almost

    I want to ditch it and buy something a little better. It's dropped from 2.33 where I bought to 1.68. It's not a great stock, not worth keeping

    I have gained what I would expect in a month, yesterday alone. I sure hope this keeps up!
