OT: Stock trading

After the Covid crash, I looked for stocks that were tanked and well off recent highs. Went with travel and energy stocks, plus pharmaceuticals.

Norwegian Cruise Lines and JetBlue plus 64% and 51% respectively. Both are still well off their 1 year highs. NCLH at about 26 vs 60. JBLU at about 15 vs 21. Although the overall market has rebounded and value is harder to find, I'm sure there are still companies that have not recovered because of public perception.

Out of all the newish, gig/sharing, disruptive companies out there, I still haven't used Airbnb, and I don't like to invest in companies that I do not patronize. I looked into it a few times for trips, and it didn't seem to save me much money, and seemed less convenient than a traditional hotel booking or beach rental. Additionally, I do not know too many people who use Airbnb. I have used the likes of Uber, Uber Eats, Door Dash, Dine In CT, Poshmark, Robin Hood, PayPal, Venmo, and I'm sure a few others I can't recall at the moment, but even those wouldn't be ideas I would invest in (expect PayPal, which I am on HEAVY). I also think the IPO will considerably over value them.

That's good rationale, I'm iffy on it for similar reasons although I'm not 100% sure that I haven't used them via travel someone else has arranged. I do know of lots of people that have used it esp for pandemic related 'go live elsewhere for a time' and I think that's likely to increase adaption as things loosen up.

Energy is going to do very well in the coming years as travel will pick back up and the same oil companies will be adding green energy sectors to their business model
 
My biggest winfall to date has been UNITY, bought at the IPO $70, it's approaching $170
 
Have a conundrum

I have 5 options of QS I bought weeks ago. $22.5 calls expiring dec 18. They are up 1200%. I kinda want to hold them cause I think it will still go up but I'm thinking of selling at open and buying calls half the price around $50 mark.

Conflicted on what course of action. Also pissed I didn't throw in my whole kitty like I wanted to do and got talked out of would have been a $500k gain as of today

Sell them immediately. If you can't bring yourself to do that at least sell 2 or 3 of them.

I was mostly up, although not big anywhere. Had a few losers like pfe, and pru. They needed to go down. They’re overheated right now
 
I was in the middle of several trades today when my internet went out, costing me a couple grand.
 
Still can't understand why BABA is so low. Should be a $300+ stock and wouldn't surprise me to see it at $500 a year from now

If you were gonna pick one for that, I’d say T.

It’s just so stable. It’s basically a highly paid utility. It’s not going anywhere

It is honestly undervalued. It has some big upside. Saw some presentations from industry insiders. Demand for Telco services has skyrocketed and yet almost none of the profits have gone to that sector. They are about to change that. Plus, HBO Max is well positioned to survive the streaming battle as new movies shift to home release.
