    I haven’t bought in yet because I still need to do more research, but it’s high on my list. At a glance they seem like a great company that went public for the right reasons, and people LOVE their products.

    I don't know if this one has been mentioned yet, but ONEOK has done pretty good for me. I bought in just after the covid stuff started and their stock has rebounded great since and they pay a nice dividend.

    Yea. I like that the CFO had been there since 2013 to. Not often do they stick around that long. Products are better then Logitech in my opinion to. Would be a long holding investment.

    want to know of one of the things wrong currently? you have all these rando chinese companies, that seem to be pump and dumps. look at EBON. Company name Ebang.
    https://www.ebang.co/

    They put blockchain in their description, but they really sell mining computers....Does that look like a $1.5B company?

    They have been what looked like Chinese insurance sales offices, not actually insurance companies going public here. Very fishy stuff. Some of them are HQ in China, but registered in the Cayman, so as always, do your DD (due diligence)

    I've got a hot tip on a great investment. $75 buy in, potential for great returns. You don't even have to be good at picking stocks to have a shot either......:D Details can be found here

    as soon as a company invents a mining rig that's also a household water heater, i'm buying their stock.

    Last year was the only year I've ever won any money in any pool I've ever participated in. I've been a donator for many, many years lol.

    Edit: Not true, A hockey pool I used to be in used to give $5 for last place so you could at least buy yourself a beer for being the shitiest team picker that year. I won that once :D.

    You couldn't have done any worse than my VPER buy in. Good grief.

    I know you're a much higher tax bracket than I, but I just sold almost all my GME at a $4k loss...so there's that. which probably feels the same =(

    and i'm sure GME will hit $500 by the end of week now, so for the rest of you... you're welcome

    In '17 I built a few for $3-$4K each. That was back when you could build them with 6 GPUs and still mine Ethereum or Zcash effectively. Antminer has the newer style miners and last I checked they were in a similar price range but when I looked at their lead time to ship/deliver a miner and how quickly the necessary hash rate to mine effectively was going up, I decided not to buy/build another. It was cool for a minute, but I'm done.

    You need GPU cards. If you want to go with top of the line, you are looking at $2K per card.
    Most casual rigs are 4-8 cards. $8K to $16K now.

    If you want to be profitable, you need a really low cost of power.

    Calculator. Currently set for Etherium, but you can change to Bitcoin or whatever.
