Yeah, currently up 3.7%. I'll take it. Still down a couple percent from last Monday, when my account hit an all time high.

It's absurd. Who the hell still uses that shit?
The only companies on there are bottom of the barrel shit that are on the Verge of going out of business. Or at least that's the case where I live.

I thought all those Groupon and daily deal site shit died 4-5 years ago.
There was a big splash and then it suddenly disappeared like nobody gave a shit about deals anymore.
I love deals and never did them. Anything with physical costs had shit deals unless you wanted two for ones ice cream cones. All I remember deals being were $8 yoga classes or two for one helicopter rides. Any service which all they cared about was filling out a room with as many people they could for bargain fees.

I’ve deleted GME from my list. Every time I see it I want to recapture that feeling I had in January and that’s not rational investing, that’s gambling.

I agree. I did the same thing but I dipped back in and it seems the same story is starting to unfold.

I want to get some more of last week's losses back while yields stabilize short term so I'm not dumping my frothy growth stocks immediately. I guess I need to watch the 10yr like a hawk from now on.
Could be a big mistake, idk. Trying not to time the market too much vs trying not to panic sell.
+3.6% today

I was up at 4am.. I was 100% cash and able to go back in at sale prices.
PLTR, SOS, BGNO, VACQ are mine! Then went back in on GIK with the Amazon news
Grabbed CIDM, NEPT, and CDMI for some under $5.
OTC pulled in ASTI with the news of the NASA deal on solar panels. Went up 110% off that.
At +18% and I hope going up.

Some shady shit happened the last half our. My Michaels Stores (MIK) suddenly jumped 10% the last 15 minutes on huge volume. Earnings are Thursday.

Apollo Global Management and at least one other private equity firm have expressed interest in acquiring Michaels, the hobby retailer, according to two people familiar with the situation.
A buyout would return the retailer to private hands after seven years as a public company. The values of the bids weren't clear.
Bolstered by a pandemic boom in home crafts, shares of the retailer, which has more than 1,200 stores and some 44,000 employees, have risen by nearly 300 percent over the past year, giving it a market capitalization of around $2.3 billion.
The people, who requested anonymity because the outreach is still confidential, said it is possible that Michaels would opt against a deal. The company is due to report its latest earnings on Thursday.
Michaels did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Michaels, like others in the arts and crafts industry, has seen its business boosted by the pandemic as people turn to hobbies during stay-at-home orders. Jo-Ann Fabrics and Crafts, once struggling, filed for to go public last month after a rise in sales during the pandemic. Shares of Etsy have quadrupled over the past 12 months.

The bold is precisely how the companies and Groupon make so much money from this. Had a mate in London years ago who used to work for them in their sales team and its something they would talk about with prospective clients as part of the pitch - the fact that a high proportion of coupon buyers never actually redeem their coupons so it's effectively free money for the client company.
Now that I think of it, that's probably part of what keeps these companies that frequently appear on Groupon in business.

Snap. Have some for a long, long term hold. Rocket Lab look like a solid company right now and seem to be well positioned for the future so I'm 100% comfortable holding at my current average of 14.
Was also looking at NIO since earnings are coming in a few hours but I think I missed a good price on that last week for a quick in and out and of course... It's a fucking meme stock so I simply can't be asked holding it.

Yeh if you can get a discount on somewhere you already go then it absolutely makes sense but my god I burnt through a lot of cash trying a lot of bad places out that were on there when it was in its infancy.
In other news... RIP NIO after hours.

I bought $1000 worth of ON at $38 based ONLY on you and ZERO DD. That’s how I roll, and it’s why I’ll be broke in 2022.

What do you guys think of DE (John Deere)? I heard they've got a lot of new high-tech products in the release pipeline. Their price has been skyrocketing.

I hope that is the case but didn't want to take any chances so took the opportunity to trim the hedge while the sun shined today.
Either way I'm now comfortable with my portfolio overall and I'm happy to ride it as it is through good times and bad. Plus I now have the benefit of extra money to go shopping with when opportunities arise.

All of my current SPACs are confirmed mergers with companies that I want to hold long term, plus I haven't got much money in them overall at the moment. Stuff like Blacksky and Rocket Lab I want long term anyway so I don't give a shit about what happens to the price of those shares over the next couple of years. My exceptions for those companies in the short/medium term is pretty much on the floor - just stay in business.
The primary thing I did today was really trim my position in ARKK, so I now only have a small position in it. I'm going to be cautious, hold on to that money for the next couple of weeks to see how the markets develop and then decide where I'll be reinvesting it. Definitely thinking I need some oil exposure ASAP.

SPACs are just getting way to risky for my comfort. So much exuberance is built into it, unless you're a really earlier mover, the benefit is mostly loss to those who are late.

Great company and it has bullish sentiment built into it. The value is bonkers though so I'm neutral on it.

There’s good money playing from $10-20 and the warrants.
Speaking of earlier mover, someone tweeted at Ackman and said people who own PSTH should be able to pre-purchase his next SPAC at a lower price. He replied “Done”, and then a few hours later they released an SEC statement that his Twitter account is representative of Pershing Square Holdings, lol. So there’s that.

Lol I never trusted Ackman. His feud with Icahn almost destroyed him and his Herbalife bet will always follow him plus he over exaggerated corona to his benefit.

I still have a small pot to play with so it was a great for me to get into early today.
Hoping SOS, VACQ, and BNGO rocket off so I can skim some profits off and break even.
I lost a little money pulling everything out last week but I got a tons of deals this morning pre-market. Was insane.
I joined this Youtubers Discord for like 5 bucks a month. He does the DD and post up his picks for the week on Sunday and his picks before be makes his vids at night.
I dont get into them all (hes had some stinkers) but had some great finds.
This also allowed me to meet people in the Discords who then invited me to other Discords.
I'm in like 4 Discords now and people are just throwing out DD and calls all day and night.
Thats how I got closed in on the GIK news about Amazon. Guy this morning just posted up the tweet like 'GO GO GO GIK AND AMAZON!!" lol

My play for earnings for good companies I don't give a shit about enough to hold long term:
Buy 2 weeks before earnings, enjoy the run up in price as it gathers more attention.
Sell at market close just before the earnings get released to remove risk and take profit.
Works more times than it doesn't for me but you need to do some long term price analysis to make sure it's not at a high point when buying in a couple of weeks before. Also only do it with companies that have strong fundamentals in case you time it wrong so that you can just hold until it comes back up.

Zoom just reversed last week's losses after insane earnings. I know it's viewed as a pandemic stock but I'm in it for the long haul.
