School me on investing...

My $500k gamble has added an additional $160k to that number...

 

I'm liking some of my oilfield stuff...c'mon TUSK and BKR....keep it going.

 

DIS is my latest victory. I bought some when they announced they were buying Hulu. Then I doubled down when it was low in March. I've now got a total gain of over 25%.

 

the tuesday announcement included?

 

As of Sep 4, 2020, my overall portfolio is up +14.31% for the year. Not bad considering RONA caused Havac on the stock market. What's yours?

My best returns are: As of Sep 4,2020

Rocket Companies: +36.44%
Marathon Oil: +58.79%

 

In July 2019 I got in on some Amazon at 1888/share. It’s done ok for me so far.

 

Well I'm +33% or so since March so, have had a good overall track record, but not as good as it could've been. Overall I'm happy.

 

I should cashed out everything I had and mortgaged against my house for Amazon stock when the scamdemic started.

 

44% since the beginning of the year if I go by spot......Silver... In reality it's higher since nobody sells physical for spot price.

 

You guys preparing for a pre-election dip? Has anyone looked at historical trends on it?

 

I know the year OMB won...... almost everything I had went nuts right after the election....for months.

Pre election is usually a great time. This year is gonna be a weird one.

 

I'm still up around %30 It's been holding there for over a month. There was a BIG spike in some of my oil and gas stocks around June 8th for no real reason that I could find (about 3 days in a row of ~%20 a day), and I cashed out a few, then bought back in a week later when they dropped back to "normal". I wish I would have done that with all.....But, still it was a nice windfall of a couple hundred bucks. I poured that money into some pure gamble that promptly dropped even more so they're dragging me down a bit, but if they get back to %75 of where they were pre covid I'm laughing (loudly ). If they go T U I'll probably laugh too, but a bit quieter. September so far has been down about 6-7%. I've been very passive the past few months, don't think I even made a trade in august, and have gone many days in a row without even looking.

The next couple months have me a bit worried both with your election, and the potential for back to school sending us back into a full blown lockdown again if the teacher unions get their way. It's going to be interesting.....

I probably could have made more $$ buying and selling tools and equipment during this time though. But it would have been way more work than just thumbing around on my phone. Cash money I could hold instead of traceable 1's and 0's in cyberspace though. It's been fun gambling.

 

I've got a bit of Tesla stock from working there for a little while. Very interesting roller coaster ride. Even with the tumble in the past week I consider myself very blessed with this being the first time that I've been awarded stock for working at a company. My wife and I are deciding when to sell a chunk in order to take a big chunk out of our mortgage.

 

Trying to stay apolitical here... The one thing that the market hates most of all is uncertainty. I'm pretty sure that the uncertainty is only going to ratchet up on 4 November.

 

This week has been rough.

 

oh yeah. Cashed out of Roku at $195 (paid $104) a couple days ago, other than that things have been pretty weak.
After a few exhaustive minutes of research I bought some PSEC, TSM, and SBR

 

Been working and not paying attention. I just sold most of my general stocks again. Can't see the next 2 months of political crazyness, riots, if Biden gets elected?? Trump gets elected, riots????? Looking to ween back in but so much is up in the air and the market is artificially inflated pretending things are normal

 

Depending on which girl you ask, word on wall street was to come on 13x forums for stock advice

 

Total bloodbath for me. Its not pretty.
