The Rokslide Stock Traders Thread

I'm retired early, living on msty. Caught my limit of white bass yesterday. Mostly I'm bitcoin, and then some mstr, tsla, gme, imst, cep and a truck load of msty. There is probably better ways to do it. But seems to be a great combo of stocks for massive growth and income once you understand bitcoin.

@Poser has good points. If I was in your position @fmyth I'd ride that train too.
MSTR is a very intriguing company & I've sat on the sidelines & watched them without buying for years.
As of today, I can say that was a mistake.
Saylor has my respect as a great example of Roosevelt's "the man in the arena".
But listening to him turns a lot of people off because you never hear anything but moon boy platitudes.
Keep in mind that there's not a single person on the planet that has more to lose than him if BTC shits the bed one day.

Any chance you grew up in New England? Only time I heard that expression was when I lived there.

for the MSTY guys... how long do you think this train can go on for ? I have my feet wet with it and want to add some more..just struggle with the "too good to be true" factor.

did I miss the boat on the CEP at this point ?

It helps that I sold part of a construction company. But yeah, I'm retired and i will be 50 in a few months

The MSTY gravy train will continue as long as MSTR is volatile and has high trading volume. I'll have my entire initial investment back in 14 months after that it's all free money. I think it will continue as long as BTC continues to increase in value.
I think we are still early for CEP. They haven't purchased a single BTC yet but have seeded it with 42k BTC. This is another highly speculative asset. Don't invest your rent/mortgage payment money in it.

I didn't choose retirement. It chose me. I'm kinda bored. If companies start hiring old white guys again I may go back to work.

The markets have quietly roared back- like April never happened.

Some of my stuff like META, BABA, BTU-has ripped up 20%+ or so making me wish i would have bought more than i did when it was in the tank. LT holds- but nice to own at the lower price point.

I dont have the gonads to buy some of the up 100% plus all hype stuff mentioned here…maybe but I’ve been burned in the past.

Edit- tech run- am normally a pro ETF guy preferring to buy a sector ETF like the QTEC for Tech as no one company makes up more than about 3% of the fund.

Today was a good example of the niche tech that will flourish in this tariff environment; software, database, data centers, cloud, etc. all of those were up significantly. The tech companies that rely on overseas manufacturing like Apple were off. Personally I think there’s still room to buy some of those niche tech companies..

 

[cowdisciple]

None of the things that caused the April drop have actually been resolved, so I'm in "wait and see".

 

[HuntHarder]

I'm like 50% wait and see and 50% all in! Lol. Call it diversification. If I was smarter, this seems like a really easy market to take chances on.

 

[Poser]

Labor report looks about the same with a static 4.2% unemployment. I expect the markets to stay relatively stable for the immediate future, but there is simply too much distortion and volatility to make any reasonable forecast.

manufacturing -new orders appear to be contracting.
and one could reasonably expect forthcoming news from retail, transportation, agriculture, hospitality and federal contract services to sound the alarm. Trucking is apparently about to go over the cliff.

I'm not changing or moving anything, though.

 

[Beendare]

2 big indicators:
CNBC reporting a pull forward of sales and earnings for many corps because of impending tariffs that will delay any turndown in results until appx 3rd quarter.

They also said the dollar weakness is a big plus for the big multi national companies.

 

[MountainTracker]

We should see some rate cuts by the end of June, making for cheaper money/loans. Won’t make manufacturing ramp up faster but should help. Look for assets that will absorb funds from the cuts.

There is always going to be another Bernie Madoff, another SBF...and that next one is going to be Saylor. Just listen to him, watch what he is doing...sounds and acts just like the 2 mentioned. Yeah, those 2 mentioned outsmarted many of the smartest money guys on the planet..but what always traps the so-called smart money is greed..it blinds them. It's just a matter of time and conditions that will make it happen....but, it's going to happen. It always does. Crypto has no intrinsic value whatsoever....only the hope that someone pays you more for it than you paid. That isn't an investment...it's gambling, a hope and pray you don't get screwed when it does unwind. Reminds me of the investing concepts used straight from the movie....The Wolf of Wall Street. I will stick to proven investing concepts like buying stocks in great companies. It's been working quite well for 200 years.

I understand the thought. Many have the same mind set. But how many years will bitcoin have to beat the market before you believe in it? Or have you already made up your mind?
