    I would just be curious to see overall fund performance of posters in general. While keeping it anonymous obviously.


    If they calculated performance correctly as per CFA suggestions and tracked it against an acceptable compost benchmark, most would not be doing what they do.

    I did post one example a while back: FNF

    Yep no going well at all, certainly in comparison to Draftkings. Can only hope they pull something out of the bag in the coming months, the stock has been languishing since summer.

    Would you recommend going in or staying out?

    A better (safer) long term hold would be shell. You get a decent dividend with that too. It may never reach what it was in February for a long time but oil will eventually get back up to $60 a barrel and their smaller competitors probably won't survive this pandemic

    This Shell one has been a lesson for me.
    Thought I was getting in at the bottom but it dropped another 20% went to average down but I done that too quickly and at too short an interval.

    Anyway, two months later I'm back up 10%. Have taken 33% off the table this evening willing to hold the rest for an extended period especially with the 5% dividend.

    I came close to selling at a loss, its true what they say, its not a loss until you s(H)ell :D

    I took the opportunity to get my BEP down a bit. Think they simply have to recover eventually, especially when things get back to 'normality'.

    The backdrop here is that

    - various US states are being forced to legalize gambling. (They are broke and need the taxes)


    - GAN directors were buying GAN shares at these kind of prices a few months back.


    - Also Flutter (Paddy Power) who are one of GAN's biggest customers might take a fancy to simply buying them out if the GAN sp collapses.

    Anybody looking at Tesla? Started like a train today (S&P inclusion) ...but is running out of steam (sorry Pun) now. What kind of price would it be a buy at, perhaps $400??

    Don't think it'll drop that low again tbh. Maybe 420 but Tesla is anyone guess.

    That said know it's in the S&P I would be more inclined to trust it long term

    I think I sold like the 10 shares I had at 420 because of the last time it happened and he commented on Joe Rogan or something like that? Unfortunately I then missed out on the massive meteoric rise

    An early post from Jim but still nothing about trading. Now if only posters were up this late/early actual trading in say BTC Bitcoin.. more on that later.

    I cant let these nothing information posts pass by , theres young folk here needing an education

    Berkshire Hathaway hasnt been a pure Bufett vehicle for a decade or more , he is the figurehead but his sidekick Charlie Munger calls alot of the trades, and he has been grooming a new generation of fund mangers for 20 years to run the show and take over and a number of them already have control of a number of sectors of the portfolio.

    Berkshire Hathaway latest SEC filings reveal a number of repositionings.
    Some decisions were Warren, some joint, some by Charlie , some by the new crop, and some by their investors (the mega pension funds and the like that invest in Berkshire Hathaway often have regulations about the makeup of their portfolio and the kncok on from that is they need Berkshire to reflect this positioning, sometimes they do accomodate this)
    Some of the moves are non-traditional moves in that they may be short term plays, which again is tied to the new generation of managers there rather than the old school hold for a decade.

    So BRK bought into big-pharma, reduced its Gold exposure (that was a hedge after all), cut Costco and JPMC completely, reduced Apple but the most interesting filing they made is the Confidential Filing.

    Reports are that BRK also made a confidential filing with the SEC (a regular occurrence) indicating they are building a big position in a company .

    Some rumours are its PAYPAL, this could be faux news that its them but BRK are on the accumulation of something big hence the confidential filing , we just dont know what prob aly until next months 13-F forms.

    So there Jims nothing information .. and theres some real information.

    An early post , thats cos Im up looking at BITCOIN, BTC trading is open, Im making a major play today and need to get the research done before . more on that later..

    Edit : pick up some more paypal , if the rumour is true its a win, if the rumour is not true its still a solid hold.

    Theres a new'ish lobby group in Congress promoting cyber currency, they gave every member of congress $50 in bitcoin as a promo stunt , they are looking to push for regulatory control of cyber currency.
    Interesting item on CNBC, 15% of Americans own cyber currency, 25% of millenials and 33% of businesses accept them.
    Lets see if my MARA, RIOT pickup, but Im holding them for 3-4years out so no rush.

    looks like I didnt have to wait 3-4 years.
    Karma is at work, the millenials I disparage so much are now lining my 2 euro Minnions plastic wallett.

    Bitcoin is on a run in recent weeks and finally my crypto plays got the luv.
    MARA jumped 25% yesterday and RIOT jumped 48% .. compunded my gains in both to near 65% and 90%

    So back to the value of research, so in recent days they both announced major increases in their mining capacity , and overnight RIOT announce they hired an old dude with serious credentials in the capital markets industry. Perhaps just a token gesture, I think not, I think they need someone like that to get a seat at the big table.

    So BTC market is open Bitcoin up 3% but now its heading in the red, maybe this is profit taking, hence my early start to see the action live nothing like it, but the volume looks good and theres a many hours to go before US traders wake up. Maybe this is just some West coast and Asia traders taking profit.

    More research to be done, lets see what the hype is on the early morning news shows and if cryptos are gettgin some positive press, but if BTC shows recovery then I expect the run on MARA and RIOT to continue at least thru to late Thursday. And if so Im making a big move on them .

    As I said a month ago, I bought in, if you didnt and want a prize still , then fk off, cos this isnt how this game works.
    If you feel upset cos I didnt formulate the advice in a way that tickled your fancy you can join the above .

    Heres some newbie advice, doesnt work all the time, nothing does but as long as it works movre often than not then Im good.
    So yesterdays break from posting on boards was to my benefit, I watched the early action on both and saw the volume saw the trend so kept buying all thru the day picking up tranches so by end of day Id near tripled my holdings and all purchases are in the green. All dependant on holding overnight.

    It BTC holds its overnight gains, and I see similar volume early on Im going to load up bigger and earlier in MARA and RIOT. RIOT ran more on Tuesday, maybe MARA will do the run on Wed.
    If BTC is in the red and theres a pullback then I exit and take my gains.

    Someone was looking to get 10% on 10k , heres one for you, buy at open and spend the day watching Netflix or working and then check back 30 mins before the market closes. Easy for me to say its your money, but it could be a play but again only if the volume trend and BTC price are holding if not walk away and wait for the next BTC run.
    This may even be a very long term play, maybe BTC turns legit, Ive outlined some earlier thoughts on it and with negative interest rates approaching maybe this is a haven for people.

    Now folks at this point because I got in last month Im well ahead in both so Im comfortable taking this risk.
    Caveat Emptor.

    Thanks to some posters who reached out to me yesterday, I genuinely feel bad leaving the thread , like I say there are top blokes on here, you know who you are.
    But Im too old to be getting up at 6 in the morning researching investments, making posts and putting it out there and then having to deal with snipers... fk em.

    Anyone who wants screenshots can screenshot my ass...

    Early start, sun is up, 2 pots of tea later and bitcoin has tested 18k a couple of times , round numbers are always a psycological barrier so. If it holds then I think we consolidate above 18k for the day, which we seem to be doing.

    more MARA and RIOT are on the menu read my earlier posts today on crypto if you wish. And take a sneaky bit of ARB.L, a UK based miner, if they are up this AM then Im sure the US miners will run also.

    oh by the way my RMS and BRH plays from last week, I was up significantly but I got taken out by Modernas vaccine news and lost all the gains and now in the red but Im long on those.
    See Im happy to be honest on this forum, who needs screenshots Ive never once doubted anyones posts about trades bar peopel who post about nothing.
    A vaccines may well cure me but could lead me to the poor house :D , just waiting fro my vaccine plays to release their news.

    So it was my character that cost me, remember you are your own worst enemy, greed, wanting more gains, wanting to only exit at the top.. I should have sold and moved on. Lesson for newbies and old guys who may go back to bed now. My daughter has no school on a Wed, the education system here astounds me, teachers had a vote in her school and said lets cancel Wed , so no walking her today but she will be watching Squawk Box thats kind of an education.

    Have a great trading day. Hopefully im too busy watching these guys this morning to post again.

    Yeah he's been warning people for quite a while now that his position is just so unlikely to be to worth copying for small fish. I think people forget that he is extremely restricted in what he can do because his funds are so large, that its like taking a sledge hammer to killing a fly.
    If he was smaller, he'd be enjoying being able to move in and out of positions, but right now, he creates a position.

    I bought some more today ......... I'm averaging up but it's a wonderful opportunity all considered.

    At the risk of sounding a bit thick, can I ask why people believe 4d pharmacy is a good stock to hold.

    Also I’d like to add my thanks to Rigolo’s musings. They have been very informative and also made me chuckle at times.

    Another stock I'm thinking of is Moderna, I now it's priced high @ $77 since it started work on the Covid vaccine, however it's using mRNA technology, Pfizer seems to have proven it's efficacy using their own mRNA vaccine. I know there's a lot more to vaccines than using the right technology but Pfizer seems to at least be proving the concept. They use this technology in most if not all their pipeline so for me this improves the outlook but the price hasn't moved much.

    Some call man.

    Bit of dumb luck there but yea happy with that. It's at $94 now but I'd have expected higher when I thought of it. Just goes to show how much hope is tied up in the valuation.

    I remember you mentioned them few weeks ago and had them in my watchlist...but never got into them..feck it

    took up a small position in NIO on Monday for a swing trade - the results have topped estimates and they've raised their guidance too...let's see who'll win Longs or short-sellers.

    @Shedite27 - got some GDRX, I understand Amazon moving into their Domain will be damaging but thought yesterdays drop was overreaction, what you reckon?

    TBH, I feel like they've lost their reason for being a company, gonna give it a few weeks to cool off and see what becomes of it. I'm certainly not averaging down or feeling too confident about it right now.

    Bar a short spell helping the neighbour find her missing cat, more a small leopard one of those MaineCoon cats, a beast ..been watching BTC with MARA and RIOT moving in tandem pre-market.
    BTC held above 18000 for long periods and has since dropped, I expect ti to revisit over 18000, maybe evne hte high of 18300, getting ready to pull the trigger on MARA if I see a trend line . Plenty volume there.

    Either way mkts open, both are up so compunded gains , just a matter of setting a stop loss to lock in profits.

    $18.95 when I posted this on Monday, $28 now.
    Did I buy, no, did I watch it saying its too late this cant keep up like this since, yes, FML
    Pumped to $31 back in September before dropping to around $13, think I'll just watch a bit more :(
    Maybe a YOLO on PLTR in the meantime, at least those guys are making and selling something today.

    So we had some research , got up early made a plan .
    Then all I needed was for BTC to revisit the highs in pre markets open , but no joy.
    Still holding sub 18000, maybe it will break the resistance tonight or later in the week. If it does one can always execute the same plan. Theres no harm in having a plan. Either way stop losses are set on crypto mining stocks .
    Stop losses saved me on CBAT today as I was working in the garage and they kicked in to save my gains. Anyone know if 3 hours applying polyurethane varnish in a confined space is bad for you, I certainly dont feel very concerned about the markets.
    Picked up more PYPL maybe the rumour of Buffett is true.
    SCHW is ticking nicely along, still feel its a safe place to park a stake with upside potential.
    Repositioned a chunk of the portfolio into Asia, for now those positions are not where I expected them to be but playing the long game on them .

    The VIX continues to drop , the boat may be settling down and normal service being resumed. Back to the long game .
