Yeah I’ve been constantly increasing my position since December. I notice if people jump in all at once they can’t handle the pride action and they sell.


Depends on a lot of things - I think 2-4 days of around 25% of the max peak. But honestly no one really knows. Price target there’s a lot of misinformation out there. My own math has it a lot less than the speculative $100k you see.

AMC up 30% so far today. See if it can hold it today or if it all falls away like it did on Friday.

That was a deliberate rug pull. We could see it this afternoon, usually heavy short positions come thru around lunch.

Today we’re seeing either massive FOMO buying and/or a small amount of delta hedging.

Congrats for hanging in. Don't spend it all in 1 place!

So not much short action looking at the candles - I can double check the short interest later. But the price spikes were likely delta hedging I’m thinking.

So, this may not appeal to day traders and meme stock fans, but as an investor, I have been pleased by the relative calm of the market all week. Up a bit, down a bit, volatility trending a little more modern normal.

I'm anything but a trader, but I have to believe we are in for a heck of correction sometime within the next couple of years. If and when the markets believe that that a longer-term inflationary period has taken hold valuations are going to get slammed. With cash and some cojones there will probably be some nice opportunities as that shakes out.

Potential calm before a storm, TBD. One thing's clear to me (for as little as that's worth), last year's heavy lean by many people on indexed portfolios may not navigate the waters as well as active management now and going forward. Or, I could be dead wrong on the latter. ;)

FEYE - Anyone else own FireEye (up 40% since purchase, BUT down 18% today) with a take on FEYE's announced plans 1. to sell their software/product and company name to Symphony Technology, 2. to focus instead on related cybersecurity consulting, servicing of FEYE and potentially other competing cybersecurity products, and 3. to repurchase about $500m of FEYE shares? Unclear on FEYE's management decision, yet separately added some CRWD on today's early dip ahead of AH 1Q results.

I think there's an argument for it, but some of those managed funds missed a lot of ups in order to miss the downs. I did move into a few managed blended asset funds, and I think those will be less volatile overall.

It's a guess, and an uninformed guess, but the services piece should become critical. The Martha's Vineyard ferry is shut down today, by ransomware cybercriminals. What would be really cool right now, is a services focused security team, with some top hackers, and maybe a few squads of special forces operators. A locate, disrupt, destroy organization. Everybody working on prevention, which is great. Nobody helping companies and municipalities deal with the after.

Noted, albeit last year many dead, deaf, blind, and borderline comatose individual day traders and some LT investors with zero clue alike more than breakeven from April/May onward. Just IMHO, the times they have increasingly changed since the SARS-2 summer of 2020. Sure hope so on the health and vaccine front versus undesireable possible hybrid variant head fakes.

All is well. Costco is going to offer food samples again, I think next week. That's the sign we've been waiting for.

Additional preventative cybersecurity services make good sense, particularly regarding health care delivery, food, energy, necessary aviation and urban public transit, etc. Undoubtedly, public and private companies alike already employ sh|t loads of special forces tech veterans, hackers, and other wicked smaht techies. At least in one sector I've interacted with a fair amount, but clearly not adequately or in sufficient #s given recent examples (Colonial, JBS, etc). SmartWinds, yikes! As for FEYE, I'm going to Warde Manuel monitor it for a day or a few

I have T1D. When the 365 day implantable sensor is approved (end of 2023) with the transmitter also subcutaneous it should really disrupt the market even with Dexcom most likely having rolled out by then the Dex G8 and G9. I wear the G7. The 180 is tempting but the 365 will be a MA$$IVE game changer.

You need to be somewhat patient with this one.

Submission of data from the SBA sensors is where this study packs a real powerful punch. They are really providing data IMO on what to expect for efficiency with the 365 day. Some may miss that part of the study.

Not the least bit keen on SPACs generally (albeit MP's been rewarding), but tossing out RMGB given ReNew Energy's significant current solar and wind power generation and aggressive expansion plans in a nation badly in need of enhanced infrastructure, alternatives to coal and old nuclear power generation in India, fast growing economic despite the ongoing SARS-2 tragedy, etc. I've never lived in India, but have visited multiple times for work, colleague's weddings, etc. For now, just non-action monitoring ReNew with a small commitment a la Warde Manuel ....

So has every WSB stock pumped over the last week except Tesla? Elon has incurred the wrath of the pump 'n' dump kids.
