I got out at 18.50, but seems like the latest news might shoot this up over $20
I'm up to a 10% gain on AMD all because of this thread. Really hope this thing breaks out above 60 and holds in the near future.
Bros, I officially am digging the zero gambling side. Other than selling covered calls, I'm out of weekly options. I've had exactly 2 red days in the past 2+ weeks. It's nice.
That $400 magnet is strong for AAPL.
It is a thing of beauty to watch in real time.

Got $5k in TDA burning a hole. What longterm buys make sense right now? Currently holding some ROKU, OVV, broad ETFs, and a few lottos.

Like a log. No more checking futures on open, and again at 3 to see if I was rich or poor that day59 South said:Welcome! I'm sure you're sleeping better at night as well too?khaos288 said:

INSG is my current little favorite. It's up 10% today though, so may wait for a little pull back to buy. 5g stock.sellthefarm said:

CHNG is one that oldarmy1 highlighted from the other thread where he's accumulating under $10 (currently at $10.25) that has a nice chart, basing just under $10 and coming out of a head & shoulders pattern
So I just was able to expand my 401k options and now can invest in normal stocks and not just funds...what are people's thoughts on overall strategies?
Part of me wants to look at high dividend stocks that are lower right now (REITs, XOM, etc.) and just let it rake in dividends + sell if/when they get back to pre-COVID levels, but sure there could be other strong strategies as well

Also, thoughts on HRB? Near COVID lows and people will eventually have to do their taxes, also has a small dividend
Thoughts on spot? They announced opening of a bunch of new markets.
It has also pulled back the last 5 days.cottonpicker said:

I'm no expert
back in march I build a spreadsheet with every S&P500 company comparing the price from 1/1/2020 vs the current price. I had just gotten a small bonus and I just bought the companies that had gone down the most. It's done pretty well, not as well as some of the returns bragged on this board though

I did something similar. I looked at greatest change in share prices and tried to identify where I was seeing the biggest names in any particular industry in this group. That way I could invest in competing companies across an industry and lower my risk that a particular company is impaired more than it's competitors or files bankruptcy. I avoided oil and gas.
This lead me to invest in shares and leaps in restaurant groups, like DRI and EAT, airlines, like AAL, UAL, and LUV, and casinos, like MGM and WYNN.
Out of all of the investments that did well during the recovery, these targeted groups did the best by far.

I went heavy into tech when I rolled over my 401k into an IRA a few years ago and it's paid off pretty big, I put about half into index funds but have slowly shifted out of those when I felt like other market opportunities had more potential. Apple and Tesla were pretty great buys in 2016 compared to now, I'm up about 5x total in value on those two.gougler08 said:

Recently AYX, TTD, SQ, and SHOP have been big winners for me.
ROKU has been kind of floating around the same range for a while, but I feel like one big deal could shoot them up 10%+. I do like that their platform is pretty well established on sets as well as in their boxes.sellthefarm said:

I really like AYX right now, big data that's platform agnostic and is starting to be adopted pretty widely.

Not sure if its been in this thread yet but what are you guys thinking on LMND?

Don't think it's been discussed here, I've been eyeing it a little bit as well. I'm new enough to this whole investment game that I don't have a real good feel for how IPOs go typically so I've stayed away from it for now. Seems to be all over the place value wise, curious what other's opinions are on LMND and IPO investing in general.
Figured what the legend oldarmy1 posted in the bigger thread would be of interest here, so from the man himself:
Quote:
GOCO IPO is GoHealth. Happens to be one of my larger clients and extremely profitable. I just bought first non-assigned IPO shares at $20 for long position.
Been doing some vaccine plays with vxrt and INO. VXRT has been really nice this week but seems like the hype is still there. MRNA has a lot of news but also seems like a lot of people think they are shady about their results and leadership. INO has been pretty quiet since they posted some details of their trial that were decent but it dropped like a rock.
Not sure that NVAX can get much more of a bump after their funding news.
Anyone else looking at any other COVID related swings?

I'm up over 50% on TDOC.
Looking at airline stocks for my retirement account...what's the boards top choice between the big ones (LUV, UAL, DAL, AAL)?

I agree they are the strongest, but looking at pre-COVID valuations, they also have the least upside...so that's where I'm tornkhaos288 said:

Considered JBLU at all?

My thought is being in a position of strength will allow them to further their position in the market even better than before. Kind of a gamble, but worst case scenario they still go up and make a few bucks.

Why not both gif.
I've bought leaps in LUV as well as DAL and UAL. The last two have more problems, but as you mentioned have more price upside based on precovid prices. Risky, but I've made good money do this so far, so I'll keep it going. I had some AAL in there from March through May, but I think they are even higher risk than DAL and UAL.

Just cross posting more good stuff from OA1 on GOCO here for those that can't quite keep up with the pace of that thread.
Did a little research on them and made my own decision to buy a chunk of shares at just under $20.Quote:
Full disclosure on GOCO. They are my 2nd largest contact center client. Last year we ranked by 40% of static headcount for open enrollment Sept-Jan and they were woefully short on projecting headcount needs.
So they increased our static headcount year round and are adding an additional 60% for OE this year. This sets up a quarterly report surprise to the upside by millions.
Some people won't understand the seasonal aspect of the new stock and will likely create a huge spike in price to capitalize on when they announce Q4 results early next year. We'll have options by then as well.

Any opinions on any of these 3?
ONTX
LRN
IBIO
I have been on all 3 for quite some time and today especially was a really good day for 2 of them, (IBIO had a great day yesterday).
IBIO feels like it could either really take off from a mid 3s into the 30s type stock, or it could also be a total pump n dump . Really hard to get a reading on it.

Holding ONTX til at least $1...the cancellation of the reverse split means that the C suite feels good about the directionOrlando Ayala Cant Read said:

I've been buying regularly but also putting in stop on quote orders as methodically as I can to protect myself.
I already got burned with selling half my position when it hit 54 at one point lol, but at least I can sleep at night knowing i wont lose everything

That's my plan on ONTX. Unload half my shares at $1.
