PIMPING STOCKS

[Tony Oday]

Im thinking of increasing positions in Backblaze and NIO, Though I have a decent chunk in my main accounts in NIO, cashed out 200m shib to get my initial investment and a $3k profit so the rest is just there to ride out the next 3 years

I have been a total grown-up and just buying SPY right now. I just had my 2021 employee stock purchase program stuff come in and I immediately sold the offering and took the 15% profit they give you and bought SPY.

I have never bought an index fund before. This is uncharted territory but trying to spend half of investment money on responsible stuff and half on some moon shots (crypto) and indivdual stocks (not moon shots, but stuff I feel very confident from my vantage point of tech).

Remote work changed the world. I make so much more money than I did working for a local company. Getting a six figure chunk of RSUs in addition to a nice salary is something I would recommend to all tech workers right now. I am living a frugal life as I always have and am essentially banking every extra penny I am earning from what I earned in the past. It is awesome and if I do it for four years, all of my kids college will be paid for or whatever they need. Just need to put my politics aside, shut up, keep my head down and keep stacking those checks.

lol I have the trouble with the politics I want to retire in 17 years, 60 years old, I will be able to part time it in 12 easy but I don't want to become an alcoholic! hehe

My wifes salary goes to retirement and mine pays the bills, I invest my extra cash for the moonshot fun. Ive pulled out $20k in profits this year and the wife was happy. I want to have a lot more then they recommend in retirement because I have one kid and want to make sure his life is easier than mine and I hope he does the same thing for his kids.

I kind of like twtr at this price point. That said, it is a clown show there these days.

Best crypto plays you would be buying now ? Seems like it’s been hit lately

[call_me_ishmael]

I would buy a little bitcoin and ethereum and let it sit for 10 years. It'll either be worth a lot or basically nothing. Could go either way.

this for sure if it is a long term. I personally am looking for the lottery ticket crypto I have a billion ELON right now, 400 million SHIB, 2,000 CRO, 1 ETH, 1 BTC and some other alt coins. Total investment is less then $10k so it worked out but I hit pretty great on a couple of them and bought BTC REALLY low at the end of 2019.

Right, that was for Bretsky

SHIBA is investor sites I often read on pretty often. I am going to start tracking a few of these.

I'm looking for home runs though as I'll invest money I can afford to lose

Yup mine are longshot gambles

I like PTON a lot long term. It is on major sale right now.

'
Didn't I hear PTON halted production ? If that is the case it's concerning. Man it seems like there are a bunch of stocks on sale. Did you ever but into any of the cybersecurity stocks ? I though you were considering a couple.

How has SHIBA been doing ?

I don't understand CRYPTO; which is frustrating to me cause I like a gamble.

[call_me_ishmael]

Shiba is doing horribly I think my 5K principle is like 1000 now. Crypto has crashed hard.

I am not in a rush to sell anything so I assume it'll all come back eventually.

[Freak Out]

Crypto is worse than a Ponzi scheme.

Man....I always buy the dip but am being very selective right now. Looking for dividends etc. The numbers are so bad this ship is still sinking. Big time liquidity crisis at a number of leveraged long funds.

[call_me_ishmael]

I bought the FB dip. a 17 PE ratio seems really good right now.

Historically I haven't held much FB due to ethical reasons, but I work for an equally evil competitor now so time to make some money ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
