much better today
hope ppl got in on that pltr discount
Grabbed a little at 25.50, and I say a little because I didn't want to blow my wad in case it went down to $22-23 range, which it didn't, so I didn't add anymore. I'm okay though.

Up 4.3% today currently, keen eye on TDAC next week to start unwinding my position on that.

I almost threw a couple grand into PLUG yesterday after the huge dropoff. Seemed way overboard. But I told myself I was not buying anything this week in effort to relax and educate a bit.

Fuck everything lol.

CRAZY personal story about PLUG.

My dad lost like $30k on PLUG back in the late 90’s/early 00’s. He never sold though!
Fast forward to a week ago, I’m showing him how Robinhood works and he sees I have a few shares of PLUG, and that jogs a 20 year old memory...

He calls his broker, he’s sitting on $50,000+ in PLUG.

Get this though, the crazy bastard won’t sell 😭 $50k isn’t a whole lot of money to him so he just sort of shrugged and said he’ll keep holding. He’s retired from Electrical Utilities and he seems confident that Hydrogen fuel cells are gonna get even bigger.

The man literally has $50k in found money and just shrugs because it might get bigger, it might tank... we will see 😂🤷🏻‍♂️😭😭

STOP FUCKING WITH MY INHERITANCE AND SELL YOU BASTARD!!! 😂😂😂

Do it, tell him it's your finders fee for reminding him he even owned it.
You have no idea how shocked I was at his non plussed reaction. He literally just shrugged.

I have zero clue what my parents are worth, I’ve never asked them but I know it’s a fuckton. It astounded me how he could just shrug at that kind of money.
Like that’s double my entire bank account 😂😭

Well assuming they don’t lose it all in the next 15-20 years I will EVENTUALLY be a very wealthy man 😂

But that’s a looooooong ways away haha
My friends always assume I’m rich because my folks are and that is NOT the case. I’m sure if I lost my job or had an accident or something that brought me to financial disaster they’d swoop in to save the day but beyond that they don’t support me. I’m perfectly fine with the arrangement, I want to make my own way... but holy shit though. Just casually finding $50k is astounding to me.

It sounds like you have pretty smart parents. You have to teach your kids to fend for themselves in this crazy-ass world.

Same with my parents and sibings. Just about everyone in the entire family tree is doing fine. And for the cousin I have probably with the shittiest job, it's not even that bad because when her mom dies (shes got to be at least 70 now), shes the only child and will get the million dollar house! lol. No wonder she floats around from shitty job to shitty job. lol

But unless someone crash and burns blowing all their money at the casino or something, everyone does their own thing.

But if someone gets in trouble, everyone will open their wallets.

Even for something small. When I was living pay cheque to pay cheque for years after I graduated, I needed some buffer money in my bank. I asked my bro to borrow $1000 and he peeled me a cheque. I forget when I paid him back (maybe a year tops) and even boosted it to $1,100 for fun. He forgot about it or simply didn't even care. But he did take it at the end of the day.

And when I moved out for the first time, mortgage car loan and student loans being broke month to month, my parents and siblings all asked if I need cash. Aside from the temporary $1000, I declined and made my way myself. All mortgages, car loans and student loans paid off 100% by me.

Only assistance I ask of any of them is if they have any wacko stock tips to pass my way. lol

I'll take it riding into the weekend. +1.3%. Combined with company annual bonus of 18%, and somehow the Leafs in first place in the NHL(!) and it's going to be a nice weekend.

Awesome. If you know of any other chip stocks that aren't too pricey yet, feel free to list too.

Right so, ON like the other semiconductors similar to MU and TSM, will see high positive Free cash flow heading foward into the years


I think they better positioned than others peers like Texas Instruments and will yield better going foward in the year. Their value is also better than peers.

So I’ll put about 1/3 of my original investment and keep buying on weakness.

With Biden executive order being signed next week. The whole sector will rise.

My top three semiconductor stocks are TSM, MU and ON now.

I already told y’all to buy TSM and MU(which are up 15% since my recommendation)

hopefully the move on ON isn’t too late.

CCIV drama:




These people are insane. Ruined lives? Really?

This is turning into GME all over again. Why are people incapable of taking accountability for themselves and taking profits when they are available.

If you "diamond hands" until the end of time you never make any money you greedy morons.

Lol I saw this CCIV drama. Can someone explain it to me. It seems to be another failed moon attack

In summary, yes.

These idiots are so greedy it's insane. Imagine buying into a stock that is essentially worth nothing at this moment in time, doubling your money and not selling anything? And then when your grand plan falls flat on it's face you cry on the internet about it and blame "Wall Street" instead of your own idiocy? Or buying in at the insane prices in the last couple of days and then being all surprised pikachu when it starts to correct because the price is only what it is due to hype and speculation.

Look at it this way, yesterday $63 buys you a share in Intel or a share in CCIV. How does nobody look at that and think "this is insane"? How do you look at those two opportunities and go with CCIV?

I might have "paper hands" but at least these "paper hands" actually put paper in my bank account whenever the opportunity arises.

Lol. Was CCIV heavily shorted ?

No idea but there was a massive drop from 57 to 51 all in the space of a one minute candle about an hour before close today. I'd imagine a lot of people that bought in the last couple of days above 55 got stopped out.

It's rebounded since but the reality has set in for a lot of these goons that the stock is not going to 75 or to 100 or whatever moon people have been parroting any time soon. Now they are looking for someone to blame instead of realising the reality of how fragile this stock is at the moment considering no deal is done yet.

what is the play on Monday? Feels like we getting a 2% drop like the past 2 months.

I thinking to average down some gamestocks, it is probably worth more than the $42 it is now!

The list I’m paying very close attention to on Monday:

RIOT
GME
PLTR
ON
LTHM
AAPL (Apple investor day is Tuesday I think)

I think the revelation that DeepFuckingValue doubled down on his GME investment the past two weeks is huge. I really think GME spikes again big soon.

Buy MEME stocks they said... buy WEED stocks they said... 🥲

I was going to sell 1/3 of my GME but I also heard it may jump up this Monday.

I made a killing on GME but I knew it was a temporary thing and to get out quick. GME may bounce again because of DFV and a few other factors but I doubt the “squeeze” ever happens again.
I’m gonna pick up a few more shares on Monday and see what happens.

I’d avoid the meme stocks though, except for a small position in PLTR. Don’t go throwing your life savings at it!

RIOT is another one that WSB has kinda corrupted but the idea behind RIOT is solid. They recently made a HUGE hardware order that goes active in May for their BTC mining Ops, and the logic as I see it is as long as BTC is strong then RIOT is strong.
 
Seems that Trading212 (UK Broker similar to Robinhood) stopped people buying Galaxy Next Generation (GAXY).

Something to do with not being PSE but they accidentally added it on back in November (some members highlighted this), so they are kind of backtracking and the CFO is now asking Trading 212 why they stopped buys when they are legally compliant.

I have shares in it as well, and it did drop because of that move, which could be classed as Manipulation in some eyes, but I guess they had to do it in case due to the lack of PSE.

Interesting how this plays out and holding Galaxy for mid to long term.

30 year mortgage rate saw its highest and fastest rise ever. Two things from this

Firstly as inflation expectations continue to rise that rate will rise alongside them as the cost of mortgages. So homeownership will rise before plateauing. The cost getting a mortgage will no longer equal the previous benefits now. So the opportunity cost is gone.

Secondly inflation expectations will continue to rise to to what rate I’m not sure but I’m seeing it hitting earlier than Q3

I can't stand graphs like that, skewed AF. Show the full scale or don't bother.

If inflation does pick up the best stocks are commodities and energy to invest in.

Who knows we could see $100 barrel of oil again (but to get there it will still need to cross some hurdles).

My 3 stock watches this week.

1. ManofOne's ON semiconductor stock

2. Blackberry. Down to $14 cdn. Made money flipping it from $13 to $18 the week before the reddit craze (damn shoulda help an extra 3 days!)

3. Epizyme. Down to $10.60. This stock bands in a $10-13 range. Buyout rumours pop up every once in a while as they have an approved drug. Made tiny mney on this late last year Earnings on Tuesday. Not sure whether to buy day before hoping for a good pop, or wait till after and let the dust settle

was playing with the data and found you can overlay 15 and 30 year, pretty interesting the variation, sometimes it alot more favorable for the 15 yr.
