Lol! No, I look at Reddit occasionally, but it looks like the wild wild west to me. I admire those young bucks!

I have mainly Vanguard and Fidelity accounts. Think goodness.....neither of those are setup for the Reddit twitch.

Even after yesterday, I still believe HIMS has the right jockey and will grow from a $14b company to $30b within next 2-3 years.

But yeah...my heart can't handle the rollercoaster.

Was hoping to see a dollar amount from a professional analysist that valued their downgrade after this last quarter. Confident there will be downgrades.

Huh, you can't buy stocks?

I'm really just barely familiar with Redditt. What I meant was to play the young men's game you need speed. Back in my day, it was called day-trading.

My Vanguard/Fidelity have settlement times. So, I don't truly have or want ability to jump in and out of the same stock 5 times a day for example. If I wanted to do that, then I would have a Robinhood account or whatever the latest platform is to move quick.

For this example, from last two days, do realize there are algorithms out there that have probably been in and out of HIMS fifty times. Today, it started down 13% went positive and now probably headed down 18%. Other a week, it has cycled between roughly 55 to 70. That is how PLTR traded in its first couple of years. People just ride the movement.

You guys know more about it than I do...

Ha, I bought RDDT 2-3 years ago because every time I got on the internet I saw something on Reddit. It seemed like a lot of people were using it. Gave it a shot.
I've never thought I could outsmart the big guys. Keep most of my SEP-IRA in Vanguard ETFs. VUG and MGK, BRKB and NVDA. I was self employed for 25 years from the age of 32-33 so most of my retirement is there.
Also, I'm on a cruise ship off Alaska in rough seas today. I don't have a secure connection so I'm not looking at my Vanguard Accts.

See right there. I don't even know RDDT was a trading platform. Thought it was just a place to discuss. I'm sounding dumber and dumber, so will be quiet now.

Hang in there and happy sailing! When there, I was eating salmon three times/day.

I think it is just a place to discuss different topics. I've never used it though. No trading platform.

AMD with a swing and a miss...currently down 4.3% in after-hours. I'm not impressed with AMD's management team. They're always telling a great story about a rosy future, but they very rarely deliver.

It’s tempting to jump back into SMCI with the 15% drop this morning, but I’m instead considering buying HPE. They’re a direct competitor along with DELL to SMCI. HPE bought Juniper Networks in Jan 2024 and fighting the DOJ is no longer an issue. Profits are expected to double next year and they have that AI exposure. HPE’s market cap is about 70% of SMCI’s. Plus there’s a 2.6% dividend that’s covered about 2x by earnings.

So after selling off my SOFI at 23.5 (15 cost), I got back in at 21. Gonna write ladder calls on that and RKT for the next few months and see where it leads.

Good outlook and juicy premiums on these.

Anyone in here trying to get in on the UNH dip (wherever that may end up)?

After the HIMS hard purple throbbing thumping, I'm not touching another health-related company until RFK, Jr retires. 👎

HOOD is about half the market cap of Schwab. That will correct at some point. There’s nothing that HOOD does that SCHW isn’t capable of doing as well. HOOD is very much a bid up meme stock and gets a premium valuation by dabbling in crypto.

That being said, I have 3x as much invested in HOOD than SCHW right now. I think it would be wise to rebalance to at least 50/50 on those 2.

Kind of a weird day today.... my blue chips like AAPL, TSLA, AMZN, GOOG are kicking butt, while tech/chip holdings have not had a great week. Then NVDA, well.... every day is a good day.

I am starting to wonder if LLY has seen its peak and has lost some ground to the GLP-1 competitors.
