    I got in PIXY.. I don't know how much it'll go but could be AH/PM type play. Definitely be careful - I got in @ $2.50 so I don't know how long I'll stay.

    Yes, haha - the ig post I think hinted at ntf, super silly. I definitely didn't do usual DD and was just following trends, I think there could be more to go but I don't get the feeling it's the PRPO move that happened, I hope it moves again more in AH/PM but if not I'll probably be on to the next anyway and then find out it was a $100 stock or something - you know the usual thing, lol

    I'm hoping next week goes better, I started off week with trash timing on everything lol

    With so many quality companies trading at discounts (net, apps, sdgr, etc), I'm selling off my more speculative positions (byrn, xxii, doge, near nav spacs) to load up on these. Price is subjective and they can fall lower of course, but this is how I'm thinking about it - we are paying same price as 6 months ago, even tho after 2qtrs of high growth and improving scale/leverage these companies are fundamentally much stronger now. My biggest regrets are not buying enough when I had strong gut feel that price of a stock was too cheap but didn't dare pull trigger cos of market sentient at the time (like twtr at $20 last year), don't want anymore regrets. I haven't quit my job yet, if there's a real crash... I'll just keep putting my salary into the market, maybe live off instant noodles lol.

    It really makes me wonder if they are drawing the right conclusions or if there are other factors - like saas sector getting spooked by FSLY's terrible earnings sparking fears that previous sector out performance was only due to covid, then their direct competitor NET's blow out earnings in after hours showing that the sector is actually doing great, FSLY just had a bad qtr. To me NET's earnings weren't just good, key point was net retention rate improving to highest ever 123% - all companies eventually run out of new customers to acquire, but NET's ability to upsell new products to existing base is accelerating, increasing their potential ceiling. NET was down 14% ytd and immediately recovered in after hours on earnings report well before the job numbers came out.

    recall, during the last 2 wks, the fear of inflation (outgrowth of re-opening, stim checks & the anticipated infrastructure bill) drove the stock price of hi valuation techs down quite a bit.

    today job # was significantly below expectation, meaning that the inflation pressure will not be rising as fast as previously estimated.

    the 10-yr yield came down
    in view of this latest economic news, many of the hi valuation tech were beaten down unfairly. eg. NET, SDGR, APPS, etc

    So are we all abandoning the market for crypto ? Lol been a brutal past couple months with stocks. I’m hoping crypto takes a break now though and some of that money goes back in now that doge hype is dying down

    Yeah I have just been doing some quick in and out in some of the names that sold off post earnings despite posting good results. F, MSFT and HON did pretty well last few days.

    But I don’t really love anything right now.

    No comprendo. The SP500 and DJIA are at record highs. Nasdaq has taken a hit and will continue sideways to down as the pandemic winds to a close and the need for all the cloud based/communications/payment systems lessens. The investment money in tech is basically is getting rotated out to more traditional parts of the economy.

    Look into hotel, travel and airlines for outperformance going forward. I've been traveling the entire pandemic and now the airports are packed and hotel rates have been increasing as well.

    Y'all need to get away from crazy-ass tech moonshots and SPACs for a bit. Lots of sectors have been going up during this or at least giving good returns. The first few months of the year saw financials and energy doing well.

    It hasn't been "free money" like last year and November-February, but it's been good money the past few months. FCX, GM, MOS, NUE, MLM, DE, JPM, etc. all did pretty well the past few months. I finally got out of FCX, but am regretting it already even though I was in it for a year from around $11 to $35. It decided to keep going as copper prices kept going up. The big disaster I had recently was with USCR which had been doing well until they reported their most recent earnings. Ah well.

    Find sectors doing well or poised to do well. The stock market is about more than riding the backs of looney SPACs, moonshot techs, and roll-the-dice penny stocks. :D With that being said, I'm still wary of the boom being lowered later this year/early next year with regards to inflation/interest rates.

    Yup id been playing a lot of tech, growth, momentum stocks etc. Definitely was different last year. But I do see them coming back later this year. I know there’s other opportunities out there like the tickers you mentioned and I’ve been keeping an eye on it all but I’ve been mostly on the sidelines. Yea I don’t see the interest rate problem getting any better at least In the short term.

    For the first time in a year, Singapore has been tightening covid measures instead of loosening them, my office went back to full work from home last week. Other parts of Asia also seeing new outbreaks. Tech won't outperform to the extent it did last year, but the good tech companies are likely to continue posting very good earnings and growth - that's my thesis anyway. Last 3 months have been pain. For non tech I think the commodity plays are safer; don't dare touch airlines etc.

    Any of you in $LESL? I see online rumblings of chlorine shortage and lesl as a way to play it.
