Suddenly Leah is a threat. How the heck did she stand there for 10 hours?
I'd go to the dentist far more if she was working on me!
I told the dentist my issue last time, and he just kinda ignored it. He's a golf buddy, so I guess I need to reiterate my pain.
Probably the gums as I have some receding. I'd trade ya stock advice for dental work.
BTW, how is there not painless dentistry by now?
I agree with you for all the same reasons, but figured since you quote him often......it's very tough to mirror what he does considering it doesn't get reported for a while. He really has a very unfair advantage
The way I'm reading the new unrealized gains tax, sounds a lot like what Florida tried with their intangible tax, but that was repealed.
Of course the larger fear is on the Estate Tax, which will sunset in 2025. If Dems in office, I have a great fear this will be vastly reduced. I remember when it was $600k. It's currently $13.61 million.
I'm curious, do you own BRK? If not, why?
Darn, I was hoping for the stripper.
In reality, what you are doing is fine. You want to be hands on and it gives you as you said, "a hobby". My dad used to sit around all day watching CNBC to root his stocks on. He'd never sell, but he seemed to get enjoyment by watching them scroll across the screen.
Sorry to hear about the losses, but it sounds like, (unlike 98% of the mullets here), you learned from your mistakes. And that's good!
Actually, I've never ever been a fan of real estate. It's not very liquid and the expenses are high. However, when crazy inflation hit recently, it made sense to buy tangible goods for cash. But I think triple net is the only way to go. I don't want someone calling me to repair stuff.
Now, a question for you....I've got this molar in back that the cold just kills, but my dentist can't seem to locate the issue....what do you suggest?
A 10-15 year chart is a loooong time. I'll give you credit for patience. However, if a stock isn't paying a dividend and you are just buying and holding, how does it ever end??
I used to use Woolworth's as a great example of a stock that was either great or terrible, depending on when you bought. Currently, $TPL is that stock. I guess right now, if you held long term you'd be ok, but had you been buying and selling at the right time, it could be one of your greatest stocks ever. (I guess the same could be said for SMCI right now).
It seems to me you are just saying you buy a stock, keep it....then buy another stock and keep it....I guess if you have unlimited money come in, you can do this, but again I'd ask....is this just to pass on to someone else when you're gone? In this case, forget the ROTH. A taxable account will get a stepped up cost basis.
Also, I must mention, unless you are doing all your trading in a ROTH, you must be creating some sort of tax nightmare for your accountant.
BTW, I'd disagree with this statement below....
I guess.
I don't know anything about you, other than you seem to enjoy researching and following stocks.
You may be a 20 year old stripper in Taiwan, or you may be an 85 year old real estate mogul in Atlanta. So, it is beyond me to try to guess your ultimate goal. I just think, for most people, you are making it too tough, just to get average returns.
You could just as easily buy mutual funds since you are buying S&P 500 stocks, THEN buying the S&P 500. If it were me, at the very least I'd be looking into the equal weighted S&P ($RSP).
You didn't mention your annual returns, but I would be curious as to whether your strategy is working. If you are gaining huge returns, what you are doing is a hobby.
Are you seeking growth? Are you looking to leave a legacy for others? Does income matter to you? Obviously you are not risk averse, but do you also buy fixed income? Does diversification to you just mean many sectors?
Personally, I own stocks, mutual funds, muni bonds, variable annuities...and a bit of real estate of which I lack the knowledge to handle properly. Currently I'm seeking out triple net properties.
BTW, you had asked what I've been buying, I added quite a bit of $INTC in August around $19. Not sure what my target price is though. Basically, I bought a bunch to lower my cost per share based on my buys back in 2018.
What drugs have you been taking??
Frequents only one board??
Over the years, he has posted on many boards and without a miss, every stock he touts has tanked. In fact, having him on your board means your stock will fail.
Right now he is touting a stock that I thoroughly outed some years back as being a total scam stock with no actual product whatsoever, and years later, he's back on the board pumping it. Check and see where it is a month from now.
Why would you defend another poster without actually researching them? Or if you have, then you're just lying about him.
Some of you all use the words "fact" totally improperly.
Well, I've been using TA since 1994 and I live on my investments so I think it's useful. Just don't listen to the dummies who try to use it for day trading. Most read the charts completely wrong.
I don't like ULTA either. You are picking stocks on a major downtrend and betting they will break through a very large resistance. For my money, I'd rather buy them later, pay more, AFTER they've shown they could break out.
You have the potential for more upside, but also more likelihood they won't.
Well, nice. I may have to hire you to do my fundamental analysis. However, I've found that banks and insurance companies are quite astute at creative accounting and the two industries I don't even try to understand the numbers (well I guess I'd definitely put the pharma sector in that category too).
I guess I'm not smart enough to analyze the numbers so I put more credence in my ability for technical analysis.
I see LNC as sitting on the support line with much more upside right now than downside. If it breaks support I dump it with a small loss. If it holds I see at least a run to $40+ (currently at $29.96).
When I was younger, my philosophy was....take any 30% gain or 15% loss and I only have to be right half as often.
When I'm in a casino, I'm playing craps. But I'm only playing the don'ts and laying the odds. My gambling is like my investing. I'm looking for long, slow, low risk returns now with limited downside. Sadly, craps doesn't pay a dividend so I prefer that in my stocks.
The penny stock guys are the ones playing craps/11. Of course they also are playing with loaded dice against them.
Hmmmm, I'm not sure I'd go that route. What is your annual rate of return?
While I'm a big fan of diversification, with that few shares I think I'd be more focused on honing it down to perhaps 40 or 50 of the best stocks and more shares. You've set yourself up for lower risk, but also for a lower total return. You do the research, so why not just own your favorites?
I checked the other day and I think I had around 90 stocks.
I think you're working too hard, and are just going to see mutual fund like returns.
Actually I think 23% is low. I don't think that factors in dividends. Anyway, it gave me the chance to buy the spousal a new car and give money to the kids.
Geez, I was gonna tell ya that I didn't like CELH AT ALL, but since you already bought it, I won't tell you that.
Meanwhile, LNC pays a 6% dividend which means it won't hurt if I'm a little wrong. Did I mention the P/E is THREE!!!
I'm a technical analyst type and DELL has a better chart than HPE.
Well, thank you. That is very kind of you to say. Although each time I get disgusted here and take time away, I come back a bit more cynical about helping the posters or more importantly, the website to succeed. After all, IHUB has an agenda that I am antithetical to.
My last argument (in which IHUB would not help support), was some penny stock pumper clown making fun of me for having a diversified portfolio vs day trading penny stocks....and its my posts that get deleted.
Anyway, as to $SMCI, at the moment my read has been incorrect (even though I think it will drop this week), but I have to interpret what I'm seeing today. Like you, I bought back in too early, but not as many shares as I had owned originally. I just refuse to add unless I'm right.
Yesterday I bought a lot more shares of $LNC. It's teetering right on the edge of a bounce and I may be buying too soon, but it currently has a P/E of 3!! and a 6+% dividend, so I feel the risk is worthwhile.
I'm not even going to try to guess who wins the election....or, with whoever wins, what their plans are. My hopes, as always is for a split Congress where nothing gets done and Wall St does its own thing.
My only take is, the market goes up, inflation goes up, real value goes down, I try to make enough to keep up.
I just checked my results for 1 year....up 23%. That seems crazy actually.
LOL....funny that you would read my post and interpret it that way. This isn't a question of work stoppage due to a fear of risk. This is a person hired with a knowledge to know how to reward insiders and stay within the guidelines.
Many of you seem to forget this is a penny stock with no actual marketable product. Money is being made, just not by the common shareholders.
Look at the trades this morning to push the share price up...A trade of 15000 shares is about $2k. Watch the trades at the end of the day.

When we were in Ecuador, we went out to lunch one day and at the next table was President Lasso. He was very friendly, in fact, so much so he came over and took pictures with us at our table. It gave me cause to look into the guy's history and what I found was pretty surprising. He owned the national banks so as President, controlled the interest rates and made them so incredibly high that few people could afford to buy anything. The country had surprisingly backward laws towards women and well eventually he was tied to Albanian Mafia and other corruption. In fact, the guy who was running against him was assassinated.
The whole time I was there I was thinking how glad to get back to America.
I guess we are now headed more towards them than they toward us. I probably shouldn't be surprised by the direction. News sources are unreliable. Progress has become stagnant and we are headed more towards the movie Wall-E at a faster pace than I thought possible. This all cannot end well.
Behold our future...
The wheels in the bus go round and round.....
No genius status at the moment. I WAS a genius for buying some of this at $37, but not enough of one to buy 1000 shares at the time.
I almost bought on the opening when it opened down $26, but I'm gonna wait. Probably a signal I should move along, but I still believe in under $400 is where I should be buying. And yes I know I've raised my price from closer to $300.
I literally almost fell out of my chair! Are you considering changing your name to I_kinda_think_I_still_like_CYDY?
BTW, Tanya has done a decent job of what she was hired to do. She's not here to improve shareholder value, she's here with legal advice on how to work the rules to favor insiders.

Man, this was whacky this weekend! An entire CREW of posters showed up. Some who haven't been around for a while, some who are brand new, with one assignment....try to blur my facts with false statements and misleading info. One poster keeps claiming, that while "he's guessing", no one really knows what's really happening. This is a very vague way to tell you not to listen to me. Problem is, I do know. I am from the area and I am familiar with the court and system. Amazingly, "people" are trying to convince you that the "Without prejudice" favors VPLM, when in fact, the opposite is true. This is for the Defendent to gather all their attorneys fees for VPLM to pay. VPLM is asking the Judge (yeah, the guy who favors plaintiffs in patent infringement cases) to reconsider his decision against them, but it ain't gonna happen. OK, I'll give you a what's the price of the stock??....a .0111 chance of reconsideration.
Honestly now, I can't wait to see how some of the posters here are going to spin this. This may all be over sooner than I thought, but not in the way you'd all like.
I used to be a mild observer here of the human ability to learn. Now I'm full board invested into learning how people will try to manipulate facts. The officers of this company are making too much money selling shares to just let this story end.
If there are any innocent nubes here (of which I doubt), read this and consider why it is even necessary
https://www.tradersmagazine.com/news/otc-markets-group-launches-new-stock-promotion-flag/
I hear they make for a lovely fire for s'mores
NO THEY DIDN'T! For freakin sake already, the without prejudice part is for the defendent to go after further legal fees, not for the benefit of VPLM!
You guys need to quit lying to shareholders already!
I have often wondered why you claim to be here to help shareholders, and yet continually lie to them.
LOL...today's news stories look hopeful.....

Welp, dang it! The stock did surpass last weeks high. Still not adding more shares yet though.
Being incorrect feels so dirty. How do others deal with this?
So it looks like VOIP-PAL.COM lost the case since they’ve filed a Motion for Reconsideration which basically says “Judge, please change your mind”. These are almost always denied.
And Defendants were awarded their attorneys’ fees & costs which is why they’re filing Motions for Attorneys Fees & Bill of Costs (which is where you list the case expenses like filing fees, service fees, deposition costs, etc.). Unless the Judge changes his mind, VOIP-PAL.COM will be ordered to pay all of the other side’s attorneys’ fees & court costs. I can imagine the attorneys’ fees will be quite high since I’m sure Defendants had a whole team working for them and the hourly rates are probably steep.
I know you're just providing the info, but others need to understand what they actually mean.
HPE looks awful! A bounce from its dive is not a positive, even though the P/E seems too low.
DELL may be ready to hold its support level.
SMCI still hasn't hit last weeks high so I still believe a drop to at least mid $300's is coming. Current support now around $307
Yeah, I thought Cedric as well. Can't imagine how they all forgot.
Quinn didn't take the booting very well, and you just know he was crushed that Julie wasn't there.
I'm so sick of their begging to stay every week. They may just drag Angela to a finals if the numbers start getting closer. Not sure why Leah isn't more in play as an ally now. She could be a big number. Seems like Makensy and Leah and Angela could make their own threesome and leave Chelsie and Cam to pick sides.
My "agenda" is a failure as long as people like you remain on this website. Admittedly, only a small percentage of people on IHUB become smart.
You would be best to put me on ignore as I can serve you no purpose. But, if just one person learns to avoid scam penny stocks, it all becomes worthwhile.
LOL....well great job of investigation Sherlock. Perhaps you should have been reading my stock board for the last 25 years where I've provided many good stocks to own.
You may be right about Angela. How do they not recognize the lies and havoc she causes?
On the other hand, Quinn should be Enemy number 1.
LOL! This made me chuckle openly!
Emil and Rich are pretty happy huh? Well they did finally add Rich and his brother to a separate lawsuit.

Lets be real. Why would someone who is highly credible come to work for this company? They are either here for a big check for misleading shareholders or else they are a very poor judge of characters. Either way, why would you want them? Wouldn't your Dr Jay be able to get hired on to a successful and growing pharma company?
People really need to recognize already what a penny stock is and why it is.
You are correct about Tanya Urbach though and her purpose.
Your Dr Jay has just informed you that any product is still 5 years down the road.
Meanwhile, PFE is selling currently at a P/E of 11 and a 5.7% dividend, AND they raise the dividend annually.
I don't care where you waste your money, but it seems like you're starting to get it.
To be fair, there are many great companies that have certain law firms pushing for class action suits. I've made money before on stocks with suits filed. The lawyers have their goals as well.
Not saying there are or are not issues here, but a class action means little. Starbucks is going through one now.
