The Rokslide Stock Traders Thread

I picked up some more archer. Buddy told me to grab some service now. Nvidia looks like the safe bet, or maybe palantir…

Are you in Joby as well? They seem to be winning the EVTOL race. I’ve got a little of both. Today is an ugly day. My portfolio is now down 8%. Monday might be a good day to buy

Great day to DCA. I had some cash sitting uncommitted that I just bought some SCHB with in my Roth. I'm moving in the direction this year of just buying broad indexes, it seems like no one is pulling their money out of the market even on bad days, they just move it between sectors, so the broad indexes that cross sectors seem most likely to continue their march upward. As it turns out, I unwittingly bought at the low of the day, which is one for my history books.

Holy balls! 8% in 1 day throughout your portfolio should tell you, you are waaaayy to concentrated. I saw 1.75% down today and thought MFr this is a bad day. . Let's hope this is just a blip and not the start of the slide. Lets hope it bounces back strong early next week.

Kinda pissed, was watching the drop, but was thinking 230 local time, not 2, for closure. Great day to pick up some AMD or maybe NVIDA, will be staring at it monday for sure.

I accidentally logged in out of habit. Down .79% and immediately yelled at my wife and kicked my dog. 8% id be crawling onto the tallest part of my roof.

I’m actually not all that concentrated though. I’m spread across over 40 different positions in processors, energy, evtol, space, retail, fintech, pharma, real estate. I think I just have all the volatile ones. My portfolio was beating the s&p 500 by about 20% before today so I guess I can’t complain too much. It’ll all come back around

Sounds like the SpaceX ipo is oversubscribed, not enough shares to be found anywhere. I do wonder if the pullback ls we are seeing across the board has a little to do with people trying to buy spaceX and when their orders don’t fill all that money will rotate back

Anyone trading vertical call spreads in their IRA? Having issues even though approved for higher tier options. It’s a net debit so not on margin. Not sure why it’s not going through

SpaceX needs to grow 600x in a decade to justify a $1.75 trillion valuation. No company has ever come close

SpaceX has to grow 60x in a decade to justify a $1.75 trillion valuation. It's an impossible bar | Fortune

SpaceX's valuation will set the bar for what the must achieve going forward to reward investors.

Part of it is definitely folks accessing liquidity ahead of the IPOs. Part of it is profit taking. Part of it is fear around an AI bubble and the future of interest rates. I would speculate that the biggest force that takes a -2% day on the Nasdaq to a -4% day is the hedge funds, algorithmic trading. The sales and trading arms of the bulge bracket firms (I used to work for one) make significantly more money during volatility....they pray for it, once a selloff starts they throw fuel on the fire. Their trades are so big they move the markets way more than retail investors.

Space X warning; As I said a week ago, I wouldn't buy it.

A couple good vids on youTube breaking down the SpaceX IPO, I would recommend watching one before you buy.

SpaceX registered as a AI Software company [92% software, not a space co] Space is projected to only be one percent of their total business behind Starlink.

Their AI, Grok, is considered to be #3 behind Anthropic and Chat GPT and is getting hit with significant lawsuits- SpaceX is holding $500m in reserve for the lawsuits. Space X bought 1260 Tesla Trucks at full price- no discount. This is a fundraiser to bail out Grok.

The more one looks, the shakier it is. In fact, It could really screw over the folks that own the Nasdaq index. Many investment pros buy the index on a regular basis which pumps Space X and Palantir even though they are at ridiculous valuations.

I would sell the QQQ index before Space X if I owned it in a IRA or 401K and transfer it to QTEC or VGT as this guy recommends though maybe not if it creates a taxable event. In your IRA or 401K no problem....in a taxable account, it might not be worth selling but it is worth not contributing more.

Bending the rules for Musk is going to create a big problems for some investors- beware.

In case anyone is following along on my recommendations; Last year Crackerbarrel had a branding issue that tanked the stock. I recommended it here CBRL. I loaded up on it in my IRA accounts- multiple buys. It bounced today 27% on a positive earnings announcement. I'm selling mine with a profit of between 42% and 61% in 2 different IRA accounts.

My wild ass guess is short covering caused the big bounce, so I'm selling. I think it will continue to do well long term but probably fall back below $40 in the ST.

FYI, Typical of me in these trades is I make 50% then it goes on to be a double or triple if I would have held on.

I think CAT is a buy if anyone has some cash on the side. Since April of 2025 it has been on a good trajectory bouncing between ATH's and the 50 day SMA...just my .02
