Sadly no, we only ended up eating out dinner a few times. The fresh baguettes and croissants were heavenly and our hotel had a hearty breakfast. I did have tartare and escargot a couple times, neither disappointed!

Bike tour of Versailles was probably my favorite!

Does that include stocks paying dividends?

Anyone follow RUSHB (Rush Enterprises)? I noticed they've dropped 20% recently, and the last several years anytime it has a drop like that it comes back nicely. I know it's not an ideal interest rate or political environment for the commercial vehicle industry, just wondering what some of you wiser investors see when you look at that one.

Also for those following MARA they came out yesterday forecasting a doubling of their hash rate by year end.

They sure have had a rough year so far but I have no idea why it is down that far. Freight recession they cited as a concern but really that business is pretty profitable/stable imho. I must be missing something, will watch it for a bit/take a more detailed eye than mine to see if the wave patterns might be promising soon.

Thx for posting.

This is the key question. Goldbugs conveniently like to exclude this factor when doing comparisons.

Since 1970, the S&P returned around 7.5% annually, but with dividends reinvested, it's about 10.5%.

Any chart that doesn't use total returns is flawed.

I'm not a goldbug, but I do hold GLD, s couple miners, and some physical gold - - point is, it's a good part of an overall portfolio, but anyone making a binary choice between the S&P and gold is likely doing themselves a disservice.

so what does that mean?

In my simple mind it means despite the recent bitcoin halving, their bitcoin mining reward should end up staying consistent with pre-halving minus the added utility cost. But Im not really a bitcoin aficionado so that is probably a very over simplified view.

Did you end up buying meta at $400 AH yesterday? If so that's looking to be a very wise choice


I missed it, did not expect it to hit it that quickly and for such a short time.

Not mad though, did well with GOOGL.

XOM has held 117 the last few times it has hit there. Let's see if that holds today.

SPY bumping 509 or close to it several times this morning seems to indicate it will get through with enough time left today. If so, I'll be shopping for puts next week.

Bought some TQQQ on the dip, looking pretty good right now. (Avg cost 51.52)

Stop at 53.15, target 64.

Not sure what to do with my NVDA at the moment. I have a small profit after the sharp recovery this week, but not sure if I want to continue holding into earnings or not. Big risk.

Thoughts?

Had an amazing morning, yet it could have been SO much better.

AVGO entered the 1350C at 2.55ea (2). Sold 1 at 5.10, rode the other all the way up to 13, but didn't execute the close until things started to infer pullback at 5.

NVDA entered the 900c at .12ea (10). Sold half at the double, and then fed the ducks for the rest in the .30's even though these went to 1.00 for a quick sec.

Entered SQ 75c at .55, out at .69 and these also went to 1.00+

Had an inconsequential gain on SPX 5130c's that was poorly executed and small gain on MSFT up AND down.

Small losses on GOOGL and TQQQ. GOOGL was a loser from entry and TQQQ could have been good but I was too busy on other trades.

All in all, good gains in the account today but refined execution will make these better in the near future.

Hope y'all are doing well today. 4 green days in a row for me. The rust is shaking off.

I'd probably just set a reasonable stop and hold. Tons of big buys on call side today, could be a runner next week too

For the record, the method working best for me as of late is Ripster EMA clouds + repeatable setups.

Upside is what 20% (unless you think earnings set it up at an all time high).
Downside is probably also closer to 20-25%.

Earnings is over a month away so I don't see a macro move that captures the upside between now and say May 15th. Maybe only half of it. I could see macro moves to the downside that might shake you out of your position before earnings.

I'm dumb. Mixed up SMCI's earnings date with NVDA.

Sticking with my targets of 950 and 1000, will probably set a stop at 800 and a re-entry at 760.

Larger this whole upward movement has been AI burst from NVDA. I could see it be a much larger drop as the market momentum will likely carry it down.

I get the feeling that NVDA is being priced like a Microsoft or Apple style of company and not a chip manufacturer. The difference is that Microsoft and Apple created captive audiences while Nvidia is just one disruptive entrant away from losing significant market share. Not saying that is likely, but I think people call Nvidia a "tech company" and compare to those two. I think a similar thing happened to Tesla, it wasn't a car manufacturer it was a tech company. But it was always vulnerable to upcoming competition in ways that Microsoft and Apple aren't.

Hold up there chief. You need to read up on NVDA's "Blackwell" software that runs their new chips. It's proprietary and subscription based, thus recurring revenue streams.
