The Rokslide Stock Traders Thread

[DenverCountryBoy]

Can you elaborate on this a little. I have a hard time wrapping my head around all the bonds and bills projections.

Japanese bank is going to sell $63 billion of collateralized loan investments that they are upside down on. Controlled fire sale.

Mortgage Backed Securities are one type of collateralized loan.

Collateralized loans are usually considered less risky and leveraged more.

Once one bank starts selling, everyone else will too just like the financial crisis of 2008. No buyers, market collapses. Margin calls can't be made. First movers survive. Those left holding the bag go broke.

Stocks get sold off buy institutions in an attempt to raise enough funds to stay open. Stock market crashes.

The US Treasury has listed this bank as being eligible for Repo. Aka foreign bank bad investment bailout slush fund.

Fed will buy the Treasuries debt by printing more money. Aka inflation. Dollar worth less.

I'm probably going to trim positions over the summer, get to cash. But be ready to get out of cash before inflation deteriorates it too much.

Got to have hands. I personally think GTE has a lot more room to run.

Let's hope so! Still holding at GTE.

Recently added again at PR now holding 15K shares.
Aug.1st of last year was the start of a great run. Fingers crossed for a solid $20 SP.

I kind of thought the whole NVDA thing was just a good pump and dump...still could be true but damn, I wish I would have risked it on that one.

I personally do not believe NVDA will be a pump and dump. Their chips are light years ahead of everyone else. You now have multiple industries pushing for AI integration and tons of companies trying to beat out one another with integrating it. Running your systems with anything less than the highest performing chips puts you at a major disadvantage. As long at NVDA keeps producing the fastest chips it doesn’t matter what they charge, companies will buy them because they cannot afford NOT to. Their graphics cards are also used for crypto mining plus a host of other major industries. I personally think NVDA could still double their current valuation long term — as crazy as that sounds. But AI is here to stay and NVDA is winning the game on that front. I put a decent chunk each into both NVDA and AMD 4 years ago figuring one of them would win the AI game. One of the better financial plays I’ve ever made. Still plan to hold for quite a while.

Let’s see what uncle Joe and co does with the SPR in the run up to the election and if he does release more what the Saudis do to counter. If he releases I’d think the Saudis will have to extend the cuts. Going to be a long haul I think.

NNE got a decent pump today. Could be the company that really helps with Micro reactors.

Yeah, I might be naive, but not too worried about that. With PR's divis and crazy numbers anymore it seems when earnings arrive she's a flyer.

We'll see how it goes, one thing is for sure, the clown-in-chief sure empties the quiver for politics' sake anymore. Really a disgusting scenario we've watched unfold over the last four years and the ironic thing is he's probably more worried about sh*tting his pants than anything. His handlers are pulling all of these levers like SPR.
Sorry to wax political here, but it's all so relevant I'd be remiss.

I'm with you there. I'm holding others as well for similar reasons. I'm just doubting we'll see a spike in prices with big payoffs this year. Let's see how the battle plays out

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.

Wow...I missed this post. I put $2800 in HLX, and got $9200 out, including seed money, a year later. Used it to get into night vision.

Now, I gamble with about $1k in my Robin hood acct for funsies, and put $500/mo in a Vanguard account on auto draft, $125/wk, into VFIAX as a long term alternative to stuffing it in my mattress.

Some long term trendline action today:

SPY tags it but pulls back. Let's see if it busts and if it can continue up in the channel.

SPY, NVDA still riding those trendlines. AAPL trying to get back up but getting held back as well. PR looking good but still inside channel. XLE trying to make a move but contained inside its channel as well.

Banger of a day on NQ for scalping. Ride up and back down hitting the pullbacks. Snagged 1500 on 2 topstep combines. Hoping to close them out Monday and let the real fun begin. Hoping everyone had a good week on here.
