At least you made a profit, better than the big owee I had from it this week. I should have held but I don’t trust these WSB heavily manipulated stocks. Seems only 50% of the current market is investing and 50 or more is manipulation. I’d rather focus on my core stocks like SE, ROKU, MELI, SQ etc .I owned a bunch of RIOT at $3.50, sold it all at $7.50, never got back in it,
I see PLTR ranging between 27-33 for awhile until more catalyst, but eventually breaking back through $40, may take awhile.

This really is such a unique market on many levels. When you combine people saving more $ not dining out, nor attending concerts, sporting events and other entertainment, while traveling less with massive liquidity, easy to use trading platforms and a new wave of smart young retail investors, you end up with a market of enormous demand. Maybe we see a little more correction this week but with consistently good earnings reports and another large stimulus package looming, it looks like this market will remain resilient. The only caveat I see is this year you won’t be able to just buy anything and get good gains. I think this year the cream will rise to the top and select stocks will continue to shine.
Take a look at a SPDR like XLB

Good shout. Do you know of any managed ones that are promising?

With FAA direction, BA recommended airlines pull 777s with P&W 4000 engines for inspections. Undoubtedly, RTX and BA will be impacted at least ST. GE, possibly by people with limited knowledge?
Unless the following Reuters article is dead wrong, only UA, JAL, ANA and KA were flying 777s with P&W 4000 engines. The FAA directed UA to pull such 777s to further inspect those specific engines, particularly the titanium alloy engine blades after Sat’s and prior incidents (US 2018 and JP 2020).
Japan’s FAA halted any related flights. Minimally, KA halted any 777s with the P&W 4000s from flying to Japan. The 2nd linked Aeroassurance article provides insights on a possibly similar UA/P&W 2018 incident and resulting NTSB investigation.
Boeing engine blowouts investigated as older 777s are suspended
Showers of jet engine parts over residential areas on both sides of the Atlantic have caught regulators' attention and prompted the suspension of some older Boeing Co planes from service.

In Sept, bought same amount of both XLB and XLI (industrials) as investments. Interestingly, each are 19% up within a close range week to week.

Going to drop some money on HCMC tomorrow morning.
Throwing a line in the pond to see if there is any there there to some lawsuits and patents settled with Philip Morris.

The engine nacelles should be the Collins Aerospace part of RTX. Fan blades and engine core is P&W part of RTX. This should be more of an RTX issue than Boeing. Boeing, however, can't get out of its own way when it comes to perception of quality and reliability.

I will add, being an NDI inspector is a great gig for job security going forward across so many sectors and industries.

Re-opening stocks are having a day. Is the flippening starting or just prospects of the stimulus getting closer? Will there be another bounce back for tech or will money permanently flow into re-opening and restore balance?
We're finally handling the vaccination rollout like adults and most of the vulnerable community will be vaccinated soon. Spring is right around the corner and people are restless.
TLDR: Should I throw my airline profit at the TSLA dip?

Yeah. I need to hold for a while this year to get the one year mark and thus long term cap gains. But that yield is pretty sad for a bank.

Upon further review:
- BA up 1% (no action, $120 avg long hold)
- UAL up 7% (hold none of UAL's financially challenged cluster puck, but it's been swept up with today's return to somewhat normal-er lives airline increases).
- Despite reports of the P&W 4000 engine's titanium alloy fan blades being challenging to inspect, ponder whether UAL could possibly have no responsibility a la the most recent Indonesia crash's pilot puck up ???).
- RTX currently flat (no action, hold $60 long hold), but wonder how RTX won't be impacted by the weekend's 2 separate P&W 4000 engine blow outs (Denver 777, and Netherlands 747 cargo jet) ???
- P&W's reported last 4000 engine was manufactured in 2013. 17+ year old engines? No new sales?
