I haven't researched it.  Hadn't heard of it until you and Otter were discussing it last week.  I am trying to not add too many more new names.  We'll see how long that lasts.  Smile

What I need is for tech to get hammered for real again, but this market is resilient.

Very small trades this morning.  Added a few shares to DG-ARKF  Sold a few SLV puts.

It's mostly in the market already.  MSFT had a very nice run lately.  Traders rule during earnings season.  TSLA earnings don't qualify as big positive news.  The next eight quarters are priced in if fundamentals matter.  (which they clearly don't right now).    

I have no clue what the market brings tomorrow as all the big dogs are expected to beat earnings.

Prophecy for tomorrow: my biggest single day gain ever, with TECL leading the way.  Big Grin

Guy's gotta dream, right?

TCEL is some Turkish company  Big Grin
You know this market is nuts when a company like CROX goes up $12. I wouldn't be caught dead wearing those things lol

Funny thing is, when I go to the outlets they have lines out the door. I remember in the past this stock would sit at $9- $12 forever. Now its at $97 and still not expensive at a 21 PE.

I guess most people are wearing them during the pandemic and just wear around the house. And if any of you wear Crocs I apologize haha!!

I wonder if UA is a turnaround story? I use to own well into the $40's. Sold a long time ago, but I do wear the brand all the time. I will have to do some research and will maybe take a position.

UA is a constant turn around story.   It's like cyclical Nike lol.  They have a a good sized section in some of the big box stores.  I'm not sure anyone ever bought shares at a fair price and didn't do more than OK in a month or a year.  I actually intended to update my research on them this weekend and got busy.

As far as fashion trends, I am STILL waiting for high top Nikes to come back in style.  White of course lol.  That was the first time I could justify spending some coin on sneakers.  Life was good.

Seriously though if you are over 40 your fashion opinions are irrelevant.  When it comes to clothes and makeup ask your kids or somebody else's kids. They will get you in MUCH earlier.  Peter Lynch warned me 30 years ago.  Smile  I took some young guests to the MN cabins last year.  They were Crockin' and loving it.  My opinion doesn't matter.  My wife and daughter were buying Elf and Ulta in time for me to score 5x and i wasn't paying attention.

So you are 6X QQQ and a couple credit cards.  No wonder you are winning lol.

Just kidding lol.
TSLA net income after regulatory credits about $400M. Employee stock based compensation $300M. Market CAP about equal to all other major automakers combined. Seems legit.

I am going to try to drop my next ENPH put sale this morning.  We'll see it it stays down more than 2 minutes so I can react.  Not sure if 135s will pay good enough or not.
Nasdaq futures are negative, after all the good tech news so far. Maybe, just maybe, I don't have a clue what the market's doing.

You've been investing long enough to know what 'buy the rumor sell the news" means.  Traders buy shares or calls on a stock they expect to have great earnings, then sell the news.  If they get nervous sometimes it will even dip right before the announcement, then on to the next stock.  I've seen AMZN run 100pts hours before earnings, then give back most or all of it on a great report.
