These weeks happen. I've had plenty, and I've only been doing this since August. Walk away for a week or two if you need to. I think I made less than 10 trades in March after things went to hell (lost about 40% of what my account was at that point), but in April I was able to make some moves that brought me to personal bests. Make smaller plays going forward until you find your stride. Any time I follow OA, at the MOST it's been 5 contracts, and that's rare. Usually I'm dealing with 1 or 2. My call/put spread I posted earlier? 1 contract each. And in general, my policy is that unless I feel in the marrow this sucker's running, my trigger finger starts itching at 30%.McInnis 03 said:
Appreciate the input y'all. Rough week for my account. Will see what Monday brings. I do really thank you for the input and will re read out a few times to bang it into my head.

Gotcha, thanks for the reply. I was thinking there was obviously some historical data to go with that assumption, but I just didn't know what it was.
Is the thought Literally pick and choose what your 401ks are invested in?
1) They want to change the legal definition of IRA and 401Ks into "Trusts". The government would be the trustee. They will then tell everyone that they will guarantee income when you reach a certain age. Think UBI, for old people.
2) They'll use the majority of your investments to buy government bonds, for "safety". The real reason, is because of insane spending and printing of money the dollar will fall and foreign nations will stop buying our bonds.
3) Essentially, your retirement accounts would become the property of the government. You'll get a monthly stipend but you will not be able to will it to your heirs.
It's evil, and everyone needs to be vigilant in the future when congress, regardless of who's in control, starts talking about this ***** Pushback needs to be quick, loud and overpowering.

The scariest part of all that is not just that the government would take and what is mine/my family's... it's that the government would then have control over those underlying assets (which is ownership in all publicly traded companies of the United States).

Agree this is coming. When they digitize all money and link out accounts with the Fed(treasury), it's over. Retirements are a govt honey pot.
It's one of the main reasons they are trying to dismantle the 2A.thirdcoast said:

You seem to be like where I was around a year ago.
Not holding long enough before the big pushes up or down, seeing money being gained or lost and freaking out to sell too early instead of going with what my chart reading and indicators were telling me only to be fulfilled hours or days later and realize I left gains or took additional losses I didnt need to take.
Follow the set of 'rules' you come up with and dont get off them. Such as always take profit of 50% etc, a profit is a profit much better to win some than lose a lot.
Australia was in in summer when the virus outbreak began, they're now in the fall. Covid is vulnerable to heat and sunlight, therefore their cases remain low. Let's see if they get their flareups when their winter arrives in a couple of months.Carlo4 said:
Anyone have a site or list of Australian companies to invest? I went and looked at case data and have a hunch they will do much better at recovery and return back to "normal" life.

We should have done the Swedish approach as well.IrishTxAggie said:
I think Australia is going to take the Swedish approach. Its proven effective with the least amount of economic collateral damage IMO
This is gonna be an important week for ROKU. There is going to have to be a big push higher with earnings or it could spike down towards that big gap at $98-100. JMO. It's in no mans land right now.leoj said:

Edit: on the weekly chart
they won't have nearly the proportional increase in the following like we will:sherminator said:
Sweden has a higher death/1M than us. What am I missing about their great approach?
Yep, the stocks that are seeing gains/holds during lockdown have potential to trend down during re-opening.Prognightmare said:This is gonna be an important week for ROKU.

- financial stress related suicide

- alcohol related abuse
- elderly isolation neglect
But since those aren't COVID, it doesn't count, right?
ROKU is a must own long term imo. They are THE arms dealer in the streaming wars with the best platform. I bought 100 shares at $30 the day after Christmas in 2018 for my son's college account and won't sell it. They are also expanding into India, China and Europe, complete with channels that will create content in those languages. They haven't even been giving updated plans and figures for that yet and that is going to be HUGE long term.khaos288 said:Yep, the stocks that are seeing gains/holds during lockdown have potential to trend down during re-opening.Prognightmare said:This is gonna be an important week for ROKU.

I do think Roku is good long term though. There's a reason it flashed so high this year. It's got a good business model, and is expanding. Plus I think there is a certain amount of stay at home/work from home that will be embedded in the culture from now on that will lead to more entertainment purchases via roku. Heck even a single major studio decides to start releasing straight to stream is a huge boon for roku.
