    Come on in, the water is fine....I picked up some around $64 and will get the rest of my position if this thing drops 10% from my entry (doh!).

    This is definitely in my speculative bucket...

    So I bought some CLX when Cramer talked about Clorox bottoming…suddenly it’s my best performer. It’s been a nice little hedge as everything rolls over.

    The good news is this sell off provides some buying opportunities going into earnings. Looking at some more AMZN, F and possibly AMD if semis keep falling.

    Opened positions in DIS and CCL today. Will average down on any significant dips as well.

    Let's get this 10 - 15% correction out of the way so we can get a 4th quarter rally.

    Delta has been in the US since February. Weeks and months of news on the subject... Why crash now?

    Fear of lockdowns starting again, but I can't see it really dropping much though. People have a lot more knowledge of the virus now, vaccines, better treatment, and they know the government will throw a ton of money into the economy to keep the market from crashing.

    It'll be interesting to watch, but I think the negative sentiment and finally more people understanding the order flow hopefully won't be forgotten too soon.

    I think if you asked me a year or two ago it'd be an easier bet though. With the way some of this market has been going though - I really don't know, I just don't like all the negative things attached to them. So I'll just be watching it.

    There was press about them making a lot of revenue from dogecoin.

    With crypto winter fears around, it seems like a stock you wait for a bottom then hold for a few years when people forget about press and focus more on network effects

    Yeah, I think you're right, I mean I'm sure they'll also reinvent their image if they get even close to the price they want. people generally have short-term memory if a stock makes them money/is going up, haha. I just think I'll probably watch it for entertainment - the whole order flow that adoo highlights is finally gaining even more traction, but I'm sure it'll be what you described with how these things work out.

    Thanks their shady stopping of trading (happened to me too) is fairly old news.

    The fact that crypto has been down since May is probably the bigger reason to stay away.

    I think I will stay away as well. My idea would be to buy in now at the intro price (38 -50) and sell at 70 but yeah I will sit it out.

    We shall see
