Shaky AF today. Good pushes by bulls but fighting persists. Tech still the biggest fight.

One account ended green today with a whopping .16% increase for a grand profit of 1.21 bucks. Still down 300 overall in it but a win is a win.

Forest Product manufacturers are making a killing right now. Resolute Forest Products (ticker: RFP) is who I'm watching

So, I must have misunderstood how a wash sale works.

I sold a stock yesterday on a spike for a profit, then bought it back today on a dip. It said it was a wash sale and now my cost basis is $4 more than I just paid for the stock. I thought the wash sale only applied if you took a loss on the sale.

Obviously I need to re-educate myself.

Doesn't sound right, I'd call your broker for an explanation. Did you sell a similar stock recently for a loss?

No, I sold 3 yesterday in the green. I have not sold anything for a loss in months and none of them were similar.

I figured it out. When I first bought it the price was higher than the sale price but I had averaged down quite a bit. I forgot about that.

I need Ethereum to pick back up to pay for my out of state tags.

You have to sell know on the green moments it seems with small caps

Finished green for the first day all week. Barely. But sure beats 3 straight days with an average 1.5% lose per day...

I've noticed a good bit 'less traffic' on this thread in comparison to last year's recovery....hang in there, these times separate the men from the boys...........the stock market has a way of moving $$ from the impatient to the patient........stay the course!

Still a frothy market overall. Gotta be patient

Just wondering who's taking advantage of this little dip in the market to buy some stocks on sale?

I like cruise lines. Carnivals always a good company and the Oil companies are getting hit.

Everybody I have been talking to has brought up dogecoin and Ethreum. I’m more of a fan of stuffing my mattress, but who knows!... maybe they will retire before I do

 

[Okhotnik]

some retribution today. portfolio up 5.45 per cent today. Need another 1/2 doz days like today.

May get another green day or 2 thanks to the new CDC guidence. How gracious of them to grant us a green day after a week of red.

On a slightly less bitter note. ASTI is current again, first time in a few years. I have had a few shares for awhile, will see what next week brings.

Take a look into XRP. Once this lawsuit gets settled people won't have time to buy at it at its current price before it shoots way up. Hearing predictions anywhere from $8-$100 this bull cycle

Want to say thanks to whoever it was that mentioned MMP. I have owned it around 2 months. Up 8.75% not counting my first divided of 2.2%

Not sure if I was the first one to mention it (March 2, 2021) but either way congrats. Hope it continues to perform.

That's probably you. I bought it the first part of March. Thanks again.
