Me too. BTW, have you seen the run up on COIN lately? I bought some in June and sold in July for a healthy profit, but once again my Achilles heel is selling too soon.

Take a look at the one month chart.

i follow a huge crypto trader(Pentoshi) that swears when coinbase is number one app downloaded, the top is in
I have some contracts on MARA
man o man i love me some MARA, over 8x this year before that drop just a bit ago!

I'd be ok with a further drop of LRCX today. The employee stock purchase plan sets its pricing after the close. We lock in 85% of that price for the next two buys.

BOIL rockin' this morning. I'm up maybe 20% overall on it after pivoting away from KOLD in the spring.

Go Go LRCX. Up over $200 / share since Halloween. It's better to be lucky than good.

Now BOIL on the other hand... Hoping for that Jan bounce to get back in the black. Currently down about 60% since Halloween. Yikes.

I feel for ya on BOIL. Biggest loser for the year for me and I learned a 'cut that bag' lesson on it for sure. The news for gas and oil is soooo sporadic I just took those tickers off my main watch list and no longer even pay attention to them unless it's an OBVIOUS move. Good luck man I hope she turns around!

Commodities make zero sense, or perfect sense, depending on the point of view.

End of the day, price goes up when people are buying and down when people are selling. Same as normal equities. It’s just that the fundamentals are partly weather, which is a total shitshow. Half the time the shit moves the opposite way you’d expect.

Quite a hoot!

And I guess I should've been more specific, throwing the weather in the mix and it going the opposite way...just didn't click for me. I feel like way too many people were offsides with cheap BOIL and they had us where they wanted us. I had started buying it at $18 in late 2022 and it reverse split...we are allllmost back at the same price again lol

I know regional banks got hammered hard in March but have been eyeing DPST. May sit this out but it seems to be back on a slow climb up

Whew that thing has made a pretty big move back up, but looks to have momentum still.

Moves in strange ways.

But I watched a good handful of stocks nose dive on positive earnings and guidance this November. Same day, a shitbird company would miss and would skyrocket.

Another problem with Boil is that the upcoming months are almost always more expensive due to storage costs. When the current month expires and you roll into the next month, it tends to move to where the expiring month was, which is down.

It was the opposite this month. It’s expiring today and the new month (Feb) was cheaper so it came/is coming up.

Made 65% on options yesterday @noon to this am.

I'm up over 65% on DPST. My friend who does a lot of investing and trading turned me on to it in Aug and Sep.

Funny, my mom texted me the other day saying, "your dipstick stock seems to be doing well."

IMO, as long as rates continue to fall the stock should do well. My one concern is the pending auto repo activity that is "supposed" to go up a lot in 2024. That can't be good for banks.

I'm late to BOIL and retarded, so bear with me.

Boil is at 29 a share. Is there any potential upside in the near future or has natural gas just sort of tanked/more downside than upside?

That's the million dollar question. IMO, Europe has been lucky in terms of weather and geo-politics over the past year. A change in either of those would be a nice bump for BOIL. If they have another mild winter and no real change in the supply then BOIL isn't going to rebound.

Any end of year moves you're making? Any prognostications for markets next year?

I moved some money in one of my retirement accounts from cash into a utilities fund this week. Utility funds were down this year and I think interest rates will start to come down next year so people will start to chase dividend yields again and move out of money market funds and CDs and into dividend yielding value stocks/funds.

As for next year...maybe a soft landing economically speaking. Overall markets maybe will gives us an 8-10% gain. I'm not sure how employment will look. Housing markets are still tight and expensive. I don't think we'll see much change in prices even if interest rates come down since there is still limited supply and high prices.

Best of luck to y'all next year.

Typically you’ll see a bump this time of year. Cold weather hasn’t really shown itself yet.

It’s been in a 10-15% range for a month or so. At top end of that range right now.

Made another @50% on a call option this am

I just moved my 401k out of markets into cash. Up against resistance and just had a huge move.

I’m not so confident in the overall market next year. Just going to pick what I think are stable stocks and sell weekly calls on them. Look for deals if there is a pull back.

Does your 401 allow you to buy individual stocks?
