OT: Stock trading

husky429 said:
3 or 4 people I work with each spent something like 4k on an ethereum each last week. All people who have never actually invested in ANYTHING before. As in, I "hey guys, you might want to look into our 403B option or a Roth IRA instead of cryptos for a first investment EVER" and 5+ years into full time work non had made a single retirement contribution.

As I type this, they're having some kind of therapy session on the teacher's patio to try to convince each other not to sell and cut their losses. I think it's fair to say the risk of the crypto game was not up their alley.

I have 5ish ethereum I bought for like 50$ each years ago. I'm definitely in the mindset of not even looking at it as much as I can help it. I don't get the feeling ethereum is going anywhere, and I'll probably just cash it out when it comes time to buy a house. Sold my bitcoin in 2017 and I'm kicking myself for it to this day--lesson learned.

Isn't the general rule of thumb of investment, especially when new to it, to only invest what you aren't afraid of losing? Doubly, maybe even triply so with CC seeing as how volatile it is. You hear of these guys turning 250k life savings into 2.5 million via dogecoin or something like that but those stories are so rare and incredibly risky. Plus there are also those guys who pay 10k BTC for a pizza and kick themselves a decade later, or the many in the middle who just even out, give or take a k or two, over the course of time. Too many people are impatient too. My gf, well, her brother invested a few years ago. The next day there was something similar to what happened yesterday and he took everything out immediately in a panic. I think a lot of people do that. I invested in it keeping in mind what I mentioned in the first sentence, I am going to play the long game regardless of trends like yesterday. Plus, study the coin you are investing in, at least a little, and what real-world niche does it fill, or what real-world function does it actually have?

My gf wanted to get into CC. She asked how much I thought she should invest. "What amount could you invest and, if you were to lose it all, walk away without it being a big deal?" Obviously, the goal is not to lose it all and to hopefully gain. But by thinking of it that way, she came to the conclusion that she could risk 200 euros, at least for the time being and not feel like there was any chance of losing sleep regardless of what happens.

Thats incredible news. Chainlink seems to be one of (if not THE) the safest crypto investments out there... No matter what crypto ecosystems evolve to be the the largest over time, whether Ethereum, Cardano, Hedera, Solana, Polkadot etc. it seems like LINK is involved no matter what.

KSS - Blow out 1Q results; inexplicable 12% dive early today (still 10% at 2:30); doubt it lasts. You don't have to shop at Kohl's, but anyone believe many parents won't deck their kids out for back-to-school? Took some profits last week up 275% on shares bought May 20; added back unplanned fewer amount pre-market.

My wife was a big contributor to those earnings. Somehow a trip to get a few things for the kids turns into bags full of stuff.

"I have Kohl's Cash that's about to expire!!" is a common phrase in our house.

My instinct last March was to buy Target. I didn't listen to my instinct, and that was a mistake. I bought Lowes yesterday.

I"m pretty sure Kohl's ends up paying my mother at least $100 every time she goes there between her Kohl's cash, paper coupons and e coupons.

I've been watching ABML.

They filed paperwork today to get listed on NASDAQ.

I'm curious to see how it goes next few months to years.
 
There is a thread on golf shoes in off topic. When I ordered golf shoes from True Linkswear yesterday, below the normal credit card spot was an option to pay in a range of crypto using Coinbase. I think that's the first time I've seen that.

That's really hard to wrap my head around. I think of cryptos a lot like stocks... not that they are, it's just how I kind of default with these things. Imagining paying for a pair of shoes with, say, my Amazon stock or something... is just super weird to me. I don't think I'll ever pay for things day-to-day in coins, even if I end up investing in them more than the 5 ethereum I have.

If SCHD, then potentially consider VYMI or similar new, lower fee SCHY for reasonable international dividend diversity AND current perceived higher upside potential. VYMI and SCHY each have heavy Europe and UK holdings, hence more financials, materials, etc. than typical US large cap dividend ETFs such as SCHD and VYM.

Interested, but zero clue even after searching for 1/2 hour. Update regarding the ex-Clarkson professor Mitlin, now at UT, and interesting list of some of his current and past PhD gurus (many funded by GOOG or LinkedIn). One of the latter now works with ALB.

It will be interesting to see what comes of it. I can imagine the USD Coins being used. That would make sense. The options included BTC, ETH, LTC and another I believe.

they would love you at r/dividends

got any QYLD?
They love both over there on that sub

Just got into dividend investing. got about 2k of QYLD in my Roth , but no schd. I like SPYD.

JEPI and NUSI are other decent covered call divi ETFs.

QYLG has income and growth
You check out the new international SCHD, SCHY? Brand new w/ NAV of 25.

UWMC is also an undervalued divi stock. .40 yearly with 4-5% yield. WSB got a hold of it, but it was sub 7 earlier this week. Ex divi is early June

Anyone pick up IPOE or SOFI?

was mid 14s earlier this week.
Should be great long term with a huge fintech /banking of future.

I think you can buy LINK and other crypto on SOFI now too.
