Ok gotcha, I see what you’re saying. Will use this time to cut down unnecessary exposure and let the weekend provide more info for next weeks trading plan. :thumbup:

I found a way to see live updates (within 1 second) of real-time market prices, there was a button to update from 15 minute delay to 1 second delay I didn't notice yesterday :lol:

I think I am going to sell my netflix stock and try to move into other positions next week that I think will have more upside. I'm up over 90% on what I put into NFLX in 2018, so it seems like a decent gain for just holding it. It seems to have been trading in the $500 - $550 price range for a while.

I have a bunch of room in my TFSA (tax-free savings account) because I never really used much of it. Something like $70K CAD in contribution room. All gains from that are tax-free. It's about time I start to put some more money into stocks I think :strokebeard:

Mick, it's also worth noting that being long on a stock means owning shares or calls. Where you can also be short a stock, owning a negative number of shares or puts. Many times this is how Geo is using the term 'long'. Short vs long basically being, do you want the stock to go down or up respectively.

"That is a bonafide recipe for a short squeeze, which is a great thing to be a part of... if you're long :tongue2:."

Yeah I was kind of putting it together that my interpretation of long was/is not the same as everyone else :lol:.

Still have a lot of homework to do in this world, and probably even then a lot more

Life is a lifelong learning process.  You'll never get it all, so best resign yourself to that fact and just do the best you can. :biggrin:

Thanks Bambi for offering clarification. :thumbup:

    #27156975 - 01/19/21 08:04 AM (3 years, 9 days ago)

Not much action in my account today.  I went into the weekend almost flat, having had absolutely bangin' returns of late and wanting to take a little break over the long weekend, and consequently, perhaps this shortened week as well.  Nevertheless...

HAL - reported decent earnings this morning and I am adding to a small position I initiated on Friday.  It's a relatively slow mover, but I want this position to work longer term, and since it pulled back into earnings and is holding pretty firm now that they're out, I think it's OK to be putting on a little more here via some very long dated January 2022 $20 calls.

PLTR - Taking this one for a spin via common shares, as it faced a high volume rejection on Friday, but looks to be chewing through that this morning rather steadily.  Stop @ $26.

TLRY - A bit of continuation from the short-term blowoff top on Friday, down some 10%.  I had closed this out entirely into the strength on Friday, and am now dipping my toe back in the water via March $15 calls, with plenty of room to keep adding on a bounce @ the stock's 8 day EMA (presently right around $15).

PLCE - Still grinding higher, I don't really trade around this position, but the March $40 calls I own are up 60% and I'm happy to let them ride through the swings.

AAXN - Still watching this, and rather disappointed that I didn't buy the initial breakout.  Still no position, but both with regard to the price action and the fundamentals (this company makes body cameras and tasers, which police departments are scrambling to purchase on account of all the high profile police shootings we keep hearing about), this is something you probably want to own, although I would like to get it on a bounce @ $140.

Same here with TLRY, had been out on Friday but hit a buy order from the dip this morning. Have a few orders below $17, but well see if it gets there.

Added to TLRY March $15 calls again during the last hour of the day, as it continued to firm up on good volume.  The position is, on average, already up 18%.  Also added a bit to my small CGC placeholder that I held over the weekend.

Janet Yellen, Biden's pick for Treasury secretary and former chairwoman of the Federal Reserve, basically egged lawmakers on to "go big" when it comes to making it rain government money in the name of economic stimulus.  That's a big plus for the markets.  Good earnings from the likes of Goldman Sachs this morning helped, as will the positive earnings from Netflix after the close.

I dont get how giving out money wont hurt the market long term?

I wont argue with the current impact and result but wont this have a negative impact on the market overall?

Or is that dependent on how the economy goes from here and whether we begin to recover and have lower unemployment and more spending etc vs we get hit with another shutdown and unemployment continues and so on

More money supply = more money seeking a return = more money finding its way into risk assets, which are the only game in town if you're going to have any hope of your savings keeping up with the inflationary forces derived from (as you may have guessed...) increasing the money supply.

Right... Damn man...

Wild world.

I hardly understand much from an economic standpoint but anyone who knows zilch is really fighting an uphill battle in this world...

Im glad i stumbled upon some of these things when i did and had the means and desire to start getting involved...

Seems like the world is just passing people by and if youre less fortunate youre shit out of luck

It'll leave you in the mud and not give two fucks..

Or maybe im just seeing things from a pessimistic viewpoint right now

Although the discussions in Money Matters are focused on such, it is important to remember that there is much more to life than money.  There are plenty of people around the world who struggle financially, but are rich with deep friendships and a loving family... things that must be cultivated from the heart, not the wallet.  Sure money can make life a little bit easier, but it's not the most important thing.  Never forget that.

Hitting me with the big one.

Appreciate the perspective Geo.

Reminds me that im overdue for some mushrooms.

I was just thinking the other day how having a family has made money and its pursuit and what it can obtain so much more desirable to me, all for my kids.

If it werent for them i wouldnt give a rats ass about a job or career or investments etc.

And how important it is not to let those things take me away from the reason im involved in them in the first place... Which is family

:heart:

I wont forget it

This world is just scary man. The direction it seems to be going. Makes me worried for my kids. I dont want them unprepared and getting fucked every which way by society

I really want to create a better life for them than what i had

AAPL looks like it wants to wake up today.  Been gliding into its 50 day moving average, didn't quite tag it, but showing some life as it pokes its head above its 8 day EMA.  I am initiating a new position in it, although mindful of the earnings release on Jan 27th.  Will plan for a run up into earnings, and take at least half off before the report.

Thanks for the reminder about earnings. Have been charting those for a few other positions, and will set that date. Had a few shares of AMZN which seemed to pop a bit this morning as well. I would hold these through earnings as my expectation would be a solid report.

MJ stocks all seem to be lagging a bit today, I’m hoping they continue to dip into more buy orders. Looking at NIO and HAL (adding to).. but might also stay patient and add a few low buy orders.

Today might also be wonky with the inauguration stuff going on. Will see where things end up by the end of today’s session.

Just posting to share a free resource that I've enjoyed from time to time

https://www.youtube.com/c/ConquerTrading

This is a youtube channel where this guy charts the major markets, forex, gold, and bitcoin. I like his technicals and he seems pretty honest. His channel has remained fairly small too. He goes live every morning 30 minutes before market open. Check him out for a little sometime

Netflix popped today. Glad I held off on selling what I own but I'm still unsure of where it's going to go from here.

Thinking I will fund my account instead to buy some other stock rather than sell my NFLX shares.
