Im going to put this here: on the dangers of these penny stocks. AI startup executives were indicted for inventing revenue out of thin air.

The speaker of Iran’s Parliament, Mohammad-Bagher Qalibaf, said Friday that Iran will close the Strait of Hormuz again amid the U.S. blockade on Iranian ports, contradicting President Trump, who said the strait was “open for business” earlier in the day.

What a true hawt mess this has become.

I voted for DJT the last 3 presidential elections, and my support for him is still there, but he sure has got us between a rock and hard place that COULD cause all sorts of problems for months, and maybe years, to come.

And most importantly, American lives lost in DJT's hawt mess.

STRC is going to bi weekly payments instead of once a month for the dividend payment.

My only problem with that is 10 years ago, I thought J.C. Penny, Sears, Peabody Energy, Chesapeake Energy, Go Pro, Fitbit, Groupon, Seadrill, Transocean, Nikola, Blackberry, Ford, Radio Shack, were my 10 year outlook stocks. How was I to know that my forte should have been being a short seller, but I never realized it. I admit I listened too much to those guys in the $2000 Italian suits. How could they ever be wrong.

Targeting 2-3 year holds or longer have been my best trades. I concentrated my portfolio to a handful of stocks this past year with that strategy in mind.

I like that strategy….though I have let a few ride longer than that. Why would anyone sell GOOG here?

Futures flat to slightly up. Kind of shocking. Im thinking a drop later tonight.

I just took a screenshot on my portfolio to remember how good it was.

Just now. Going to be a very bumpy ride for quite a while.

Thoughts on META? I'm up 10ish%, overall it's been pretty stagnant. With a looming 8k person layoff, how will this affect the stock?

I am really surprised the market isn't reacting to the news in the strait. Not that i want it to tank, i just didn't expect it to hold where it is.

I really like META and don't think FB is going away. I bought in last week at $668. Sometimes investors react positively to layoffs for the savings in salaries and implication of AI/continuous improvement.

It's wild. The economy just keeps bouncing back like there is no gravity. We haven't had a real recession in more than 15 years. I keep thinking the other shoe is going to drop sometime but nope.

Yeah, I was anticipating the markets completely tanking this morning. On the other hand, the ceasefire was set to end on Wednesday anyway, the threats of destruction are perhaps a bit trite at this point, and the strait hasn't been functionally open for ~6 weeks now. Perhaps there isn't much unexpected to react to, though the looming energy crisis in Europe may drop like a hammer if something doesn't shift in the next ~4 weeks.

I can explain some of the problem there

Oil stocks! Historically have always been boom and bust. Too erratic to be long term investments, especially the debt heavy ones

Also over time almost nobody will beat SP 500 or Nasdaq type funds. ESPECIALLY when you consider the taxes you have to pay trading vs holding over long periods of time.

Relax, stick with the biggest baddest companies in the world and you’ll at worst case be decent. If the biggest, richest, money printing companies can’t figure it out, have faith we just about can’t either.
