The Rokslide Stock Traders Thread

We've had ours 100% in the Vanguard Institutional Index Fund for the last ten years, through TIAA. Net expense ratio of .02%, and its ten year average return rate has been 13.37%, including deposits and withdrawals. We've been pretty happy with it - retired about three years ago and average annual return has been 11.89% over that period, even with us withdrawing about 3.4% a year.
 
Are you holding just MSTR, calls or both?

I wish I was smart enough to do all that, I'd be a very wealthy man. I bought mstr long ago at a good bottom. When everything was crashing and blood was in the streets I backed the truck up and loaded up. I also hold bitcoin long term. I'm not the smartest at this, I just have patience, conviction and foresight.

I’m on the BTC train also. I also have some into BTC futures, which was very strong earlier this year, looking for another good push as we close out the year. I’m back and forth between MSTR and Tesla, I have a little of Tesla. MSTR is up 7% today so might wait for a cool down.

Nice. I'm a little light in tesla. It's a great long term stock I think. Bitcoin has been first priority tho
 
Bankrate shows the price history of bitcoin since its first trades in 2009. Back in September of 2010, you could have bought a bitcoin for a dime! So if you bought 1000 bitcoins for a hundred bucks, you'd have over 60 million if you sold now. What was I thinking.... =)

You can always find a missed opportunity when looking back. But if you traveled backwards with no known info in the future you’d likely make all the same choices

Money like that could’ve been made on many small businesses/stock pics etc etc

The difference is, a business makes and generates revenue/income/products etc etc

You're right, of course. And just because it would have turned out phenomenally well, it doesn't make it a sensible choice. Sort of like dumping your life savings and hitting your number on a roulette wheel..
 
I certainly wish i had the wisdom to invest like you all do. I might as well be lighting my one dollar bills end to end if i tried to invest them.
 
What's everyone's opinion on these advance computer chip companies?? I see the government awarded Wolfspeed out of North Carolina $750M in direct funding.
 
Been watching OKLO for a little while but haven't pulled the trigger yet.
Very interesting company & tons of potential IMO. Been up as much as 34% over the past 2 days
Anyone else have any opinion?

Probably why you are seeing pumps.


AI isn’t going anywhere and the energy needed for computing power is extreme. It is projected to surpass the current power consumption of what is used to secure the btc network, if it hasn’t already.

There is also all kinds of uses for small nuclear which will help provide energy as other systems begin to fall behind on capabilities or failing all together.

A bit of a tangent, but YES on SMRs. They no longer require highly-enriched uranium to operate and the new designs are safe and can be quickly constructed. This nonsense of covering the West with wind turbines and solar panels needs to stop. SMR's can provide fixed energy from a tiny footprint compared to the millions of acres needed for solar and wind farms.
