Looks to me that ZIM run has stalled and is retreating back to 75 or so. Sold my shares for +12% profit and waiting it out for the time being.


Still holding, I'm not going to pass up that sweet divy. If it retracts back to mid 60s its going to get bought up by booty loving piranhas. Seen it time and time again from the past divs. Will be adding on more during that dip. This supply chain crisis is here to stay remainder of the year, despite the MSM sweeping it under the rug.

Speaking of Holding, still latched onto CROX like an incel on a Twitch thot's stream. Cost Basis is at 86, rode it down to 67. Twas tempted to bail as my port is looking pretty stellar atm from swinging my Vinnie K, and I dont trust next week.


Focusing on what I bolded above. Agree, a sweet dividend at $17; however, after some minimal researching I can only find it paying $2.50/share per quarter for the two previous quarters.

I didn't find confirmation that $17 per Quarter is the 2022 established Annual dividend of $68, did you? That annual dividend confirmation would determine how long I would hold this security





Farmer, this is from investors.zim.com. I don't think it's 17.00 per quarter.

"Dividend policy: the Company intends to distribute a dividend to shareholders on a quarterly basis at a rate of approximately 20% of the net income derived during such fiscal quarter with respect to the first three fiscal quarters of the year, while the cumulative annual dividend amount to be distributed by the Company (including the interim dividends paid during the first three fiscal quarters of the year) will total 30-50% of the annual net income."

What my feeble mind gets from this is that the first 3 quarter's divy will be 20% of that quarter's income and the final special annual divy will be bumped upto make it 30-50% of annual income. This year the bump was a one time $17.00.

Re: Zim - It should still be substantial looking forward. Look at the analyst expectations. What are we missing?!?!?

Nothing. That's why my goal is to get the special dividend and let it ride.

A simple way to trade stocks: buy at support (exhaustion) or buy at break of resistance (momentum). Have a 10% or so stop loss on a not volatile stock and a 20% stop on something volatile. For position sizing, no more than 10% in a single equity unless it's SPY/QQQ/DIA/IWM. If your stop is 10% of 10%, that's a 1% draw down.

Take half the profit at up X% (you decide). Set the rest to stop at break even. You can't lose. Scale out 20% bit by bit on the way up, moving your stop up with you. If you're ever uncomfortable, sell. If you're uncomfortable it's probably because of position size.

Trading, especially stocks should give you zero anxiety.


This is pretty much all I do now. Look for stocks inside a channel near the support. Set a stop if it crosses. Sell when it hit the resistance side. So far, I'm up 27% since I started my screener this year.

Honestly, a couple hours a week of research and prep on Sunday. Then I take a peek at the market during the day, but that's just me being a degenerate. It takes weeks for the stock to bottom out and change durations sometimes. Then it takes weeks for it to hit the resistance. I'm typically charting on the 1-3 month timeline.

Which reminds me. I need to start posting my spreadsheet again.

Vacay or did you say **** this damn project?


I don't know what that word vacation is.

Kidding. I'll just work from my office at home. Mamma FJ said stay home for the week.

LOL....That ship has long sailed brother. At 54 (and fixed) I can' imagine starting the cycle over.

But if a miracle happens I think the name will be Gus. Boy or girl doesn't matter.

Am gonna transition my trading account towards an account geared towards my girls. Hoping to have a decent chunk of change in 12-15 years when they go to school, etc.

How would you do it? Buy and never sell? Only indexes? Just trade like you all do and nickel and dime your way up or what?

I like MSFT, AAPL, TTD, NVDA, and a couple others. Would like a mix of dividend stocks and growth stocks.

Thoughts?

I'm going to start introducing him to stocks and technical analysis at 10-11. At 13, I'm going put $5K in an account for him to trade. Anything he makes over that, less taxes, will be his to do whatever he wants to. Then I'll increase it to $10K with the same rules when he's 16.

I'm doing alright….but you guys turn circles around me with your accounts.

In seriousness, all my extra money right now is going to a down payment for a house and I've paid $275K off in student loans in last 2.5 years. So, yeah, doing fine but I live frugally. Oh, and still nearly $60K to go in student loans.
