Good for you, personally I don’t like buying stuff in the first hour of trading

From what I've read about Rivian they have a lot of issues to work out before I'd want to invest in them. Lots of people interested in their product but they can't seem to figure out production to deliver to everyone.

Yep, I've seen a few around here too. My neighbor test drove one and then put an order in and I think he'll be lucky to get it in 18 months. They are making them, just not enough of them. They've missed production estimates several times and are getting a reputation for an unsafe work environment. Plus they've already had a recall.

I could be wrong but there are enough negative signs in there to make me steer clear of investing. Maybe they'll find a way to pull through it and their stock value will skyrocket but I don't see it happening in the near term.

I would rather wait until the first 30 mins, and then find new breakouts for day trading, but I have found a few formations that I will jump in on minute 2-5 after the open and usually sell at the 30-45 min mark.

Then I re-scan for Opening Range Breakouts, OR's. Which is a fresh BO to the upside, ie new highs, AFTER the first 30 mins of trading.

As far as trading a slightly longer time frame, I like MNDY, got some yest on the fresh BO of the daily chart, I like the overall pattern. Will buy more on a pullback to the 21 ema.

When you double your money (and you are close), sell 1/2 your shares and then you are playing with house money with your remaining shares. That would have been approach if TSLA had fallen to $100.

Good luck,

Gotta sell more than half to pay the tax man. Especially if it’s short term gains….

You only pay taxes on your capital gains from what you sell...

Agree. But paying the taxes adds up and reduces your gains

Anyone else loading up on GTE right now?

 

[aftriathlete]

I’m loading up on money market funds at the moment. Keeping my cash ready to move when things stabilize some day, and getting 4.5% interest til then.

JEPQ, SCHD and VUG for me gents.
Always bullish on Tesla and Amazon.

Other than my standard contributions to my IRA, I haven’t been adding any extra. For what the HYSA and CDs are paying right now, I have been putting more money in those.

 

[aftriathlete]

Yeah it looks like I’m actually getting north of 4.5% on MM funds right now, about 5% in this last two weeks. For anyone thinking about what to do with cash.

 

[CorbLand]

Capital one has a 5% 11 month CD right now.

what institution are you using for your money market if you dont mind me asking. haven't seen any that high in my area.

 

[HuntHarder]

T bills are 5%ish, can be as little as 4 weeks long and you do not have to pay state income tax on your earned interest.

Schwab. They are advertising 4.48% right now but I think there’s a bit of a lag for their website to reflect current yield, and since rates have spiked this past two weeks I hand calculated the two week dividend I just got at about 4.9%.

Thank you!

My whole 2022 and 2023 Roth contributions are just sitting in MM funds right now. I definitely don’t trade in my retirement accounts, but I’m just waiting til perhaps it seems more “bottomy” in the market to move at least these last two years of contributions into SPY or VOO.

I am going to have to look into those.

Local credit union just posted a 12mo paying 5.1%.
