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.

Yeah, I took LLY off my radar. Thought they would go over $1000 but stalled out.

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.

I do like RH's ability to look at overnight trading done on a lot of stocks.

That, plus the market likes its "gamified" user interface that looks more like a video game or betting app than a broker.

I'm talking about the Robinhood 24 hour market.
Click to expand...

Schwab has 24/5 trading on every Dow 30, S&P 500, and NASDAQ 100 stock. Over 1,000 companies. Plus their platform is seamless for orders placed during the regular session and/or the extended hours session. With RobinHood I believe that you have to enter separate orders for overnight and regular hours.

I've wonder how overnight trading worked every time I've tried it's not instant like open hours. Last one was NVDA I was trying to get in after hours when it was in the upper 80's I think, and it never would buy. I gave up and waited until after 9:00am, I use Schwab.

After hours are limit orders, not market orders. Thinly traded stocks would be much harder to match buyers and sellers than the stocks traded at high volumes. NVDA should have had an available seller if the limit price set as the buyer was in the trading range.

Bought a bit of Home Depot today because it looks like the hurricane season is about to spark up like poorly stored fireworks, doused in gasoline, around a bunch of chain smokers.

As I live in Florida, I hope I lose a bundle on this one.

I doubt that HD makes a large move up until mortgage rates start to go lower. The home building industry also has short term hurdles to overcome with the anti-dumping tariffs on Canadian lumber and the punitive tariffs on cement.

However, the possibility of natural disasters does create a short term trading opportunity.

I agree. Have had some nice gains in housebuilder ETF I'm sure premised on anticipated rate cuts.

PLTR is up 9% to $175/$176. I sold a few $180 8/8 calls yesterday. I could still close tge position for a small gain.

PLTR never slowed down. It hit another all time high of $188 today. It’s down a buck to about $187.

I think that I’ll have an opportunity to buy back what I’ll lose today at $180. I might sell more covered calls. While shares are in the high $180s.

Near pandemic end (I think?), had some PLTR when it was high teens.

On the positive side, never even considered them holding them for the long haul. Simply didn't see it. Too many layers of mystery in the way they report earnings in batches.

One thing I liked about them pre-IPO, is one of the two leaders said... paraphrasing, "we may never make a nickel."

I also liked that they moved HQ from California to Colorado.

I’ve owned PLTR since March 2022 at $11.27. Then got a couple dollars back selling covered calls. Some of my shares will be called away today at $180, but that’s 20x my basis. I hope I get that lucky again.
