Tesla was bought at 363.80 and Lulu was sold at 311.44 for a $4.65 loss overall

So do you have a price target you want to sell at @owlegrad ?

I get the whole let it run thing but a lot of the fund could have been saved if people set a selling price. MELI and Lulu lost about 20% along with others.

Yeah, that’s a good idea. Set it for $400.

I actually meant a limit order after a specific price above is reached .

I will put $400 in though if you want. I wouldn't be surprised though if it breaks $400 today.

Oh I meant a stop loss for $400. It’s already over 400.
 
What happened to the people who bought cryptocurrency? Did you sell? Still holding? Bitcoin is @ $10,600. It peaked at $19,783 in 2017.

Sorry I'm not communicating well.

I'm fine with $400 but I personally think this is still a good range to hold Tesla. I can't see another massive selling unless more not so great news comes out or the market as a whole sells off more.

I think selling at the more recent $440 to $450 range is a good target.

But $400 will possibly trigger soon it I put that in so have another stock in mind if you do want me to sell if it dips under $400

Ok I get you. Put a stop loss of $375 so we can’t lose money this time and a sell order at $475. Sound good?
 
So I started using Bing instead of Google. Microsoft has a rewards program now that pays you to use Bing. I'm earning a couple $5 Target gift cards a month just from casual internet searches. I can barely tell the difference, to be honest.

How active do you have to be? I think they had something like that a long time ago in 2009 or so. I'm so old.
 
It's 5 points for each search and 5250 points for a $5 gift card for Amazon, Target, or Walmart (among other choices). So a bit over 1000 searches or so? So that's, what, half a cent per search?

I've been doing it since some time in August and I'm at 11,000+ points already.
 
Dropping 10-20k cash (working liquid cash to pay bills) to Yotta savings. Moving away from Ally. It pays around 1.6-2% interest if you calculate your winning. That's better than (about 3x better) any bank out there.

If you don't use my code, Google any yotta referral code, at least you will get 100 free tickets to start vs. 0. Good luck peeps.

Referral link code: OTTO3

Yotta - Banking For Winners

With Yotta, you save money and unlock the chance to win prizes up to $1 Million every day. The best part is you can’t lose and your money is FDIC insured!

I've read about this and considered the move too. Read on the DoC website this excerpt too which could be a nice side effect tax savings:

From a tax perspective, they say that lottery earnings under $600 do not get reported, and over $600 will get a 1099MISC. The actual .2% interest would be reported separately on a form 1099INT

What are everyone favorite dividend stocks? Looking for conservative positions-- parents have a decent chunk of change in a high yield savings account, with the continued rate drops they are wanting to invest some in safer positions. They are retired (but have pension) so this is more of a back up fund.

I'd look into a dividend appreciation etf like VIG
 
Here are the numbers you've all been waiting for:

JPM: @wagrxm2000 -18.12
NVDA: @Sine Cura +$260.06
BA: @lane one -$74.20
MELI: @PharmDBro2017 +$125.13
SQ: @msweph +$335.36
T: @redfish955 -$7.43
TSLA: @owlegrad +196.63
PLNT: @mentos +$46.83
WMT: @PharmDminus +$58.34
AZN: @WVUPharm2007 -$36.64
ROST: @Momus +$106.20
NIO: @BMBiology +$226.78

Sold LULU: -$4.66
Cash reserve: $-108.71
Original fund: $11,000.00
Current total: $12,208.45

S&P 500 up 4.95%
DOW up 4.09%
NASDAQ up 6.77%
SDN up 10.99%

Because of a great trade by @owlegrad the fund actually made money with all other indexes going down in September.

This is what I wanted to happen, people make decisions when it's time to get out of a stock.

You may stick with your stock or trade, it's up to you.

Let me ask you this, if you had extra money, would you buy Square right now?

I haven't decided if I'm going to do it next year or not but I will be starting fresh if I do.

It'll be interesting seeing if people buy the top performers again.

I wouldn't be surprised if we ended the day in a sell off

LoL PLNT is at 63.65 now.

Did you do a market order? Yahoo finance shows it opened at 117.02.

Should have chosen ETSY or PINS instead!

Yeah market order, it probably didn't fill right at open.

I don't normally buy stocks at open due to volatility, interesting how I was the last person to get a buy order executed.
 
Tesla is at 448, want a stop anywhere below @owlegrad or am I letting it run?

I'm personally putting one in at $440, pretty satisfied with my gains.

That would be one hell of a dip to buy. Biden being president is already priced into the market being that he's up 7 points nationally and is at about 80% odds to win the EC. Nothing would effectively change long term. Buy buy buy.

I cancelled my own too but I'm contemplating it.

If we get back to $440 I'll probably get out for awhile.
 
Kind of morbid to ask this question but be honest: how much does the stock market drop if Trump dies? My parents have lived through a presidential assassination and a resignation. I've never seen anything like that. I have a feeling my generation will panic.

I personally think there would be a couple of days down then people will realize he wasn't winning anyways and his term was already practically over.

The markets are assuming Biden wins.

where are you seeing he has 80% odds? Bookies and Vegas have it at 50/50
 
It's going to be an interesting Monday. We could be down 5% premarket.

At least he walked to the helicopter.
