What Are We Investing In?

Recent buys that are working;
ALAB: up 5.5% since yesterday's buy
GEV: up 3.75% since Friday buy
RKLB: up 4.4% since yesterday's buy

I keep waiting for PLTR to move sideways for a bit to set up a new buy point. In hindsight, I should've opened a new position on Friday, but I was looking at other stocks at the time. It's one of my best trades of the year, but still regretting selling early. APP, at least, provided a new entry point on Friday and I'm slightly up so far, there.

My degenerate crypto buys:
RNDR: up 13.5% today (bought the other day)
SOL: up 7% today (bought yesterday)

Ready for the crypto gains to disappear by next week, lol.

Sold my position a few weeks ago to break even as it broke the 50-day moving avg. Hopefully it turns around soon.

From what I'm reading 2026 is where optimism lies. Looking forward to retiring in a few years and diving more into trading individual stocks. I'm enjoying having a taste with my underdog companies.

Cheers to your gains this year! Happy Trading!

No Santa Claus rally this year. Good time to take some profit or do some rebalancing.

Rigetti Computing has been the most traded stock the last few trading days. Not sure what's behind the oversized interest.

Been enjoying WallStreetbets. Many interesting threads and learning it's worse than imagined regarding how much of a casino the stock market can be. Had no idea about the side bets of calls and puts. Learning some of the terms used there has been fun as well. Bulls vs Bears instead of Libs vs Cons. Lol

I bought a bunch of Solana on the dip today with a 20% discount too. If it goes lower I'll buy more.

Past few weeks been in and out of shorts in QQQ, Tesla, and Ark Invest. This market is turning me into a daytrader.

Just remember, but options, DON'T WRITE THEM. And, buy them the same day, and sell them the same day too. Don't buy options with fewer than 100 open interest.

A youngster at my work plays around with options and enjoys the action, but it's not for me. Made some money earlier in the year playing the volatility buying 50 to 100 shares of a few stocks. Was fun diversion during MLB off-season, but haven't been following individual stocks or buying anything the last few months. Kept 50 shares of AST SpaceMobile just to have something to root for.

I'll wait until next next offseason before gambling again.

If you luck out with the volatility of options. In one day you can make between 14-20% easily. And then you do that daily. By week five, you could be making 40,000 a week from 7,000 started. The money is there, but most don't have the luck nor discipline to do it...with their own money on the line.
