2022 may be the last year I have to contribute to my ROTH ira considering that legislation has been proposed to eliminate the backdoor ira conversion. I'm thinking using the $6k conversion in February for Facebook is the way to go.
As an aside, I was in a department store yesterday and my friend inquired about a pocketbook - $300! Very humbling to think there are enough of my fellow Mass residents who make purchases at that price that such a store can stay in business.

Wow! Now, a trip costing $5k doesn't sound so bad. I set aside $6k every year for the vacation fund, though the hope is that covers 1 large and 2-3 small trips. It never occurred to me that fishing would be so expensive. Golf, that makes sense.
I will never live a life of luxury. If I reach that magic $3 million goal at age 60 and have a 4.5% yield (in dividend growers, so it can keep up with inflation), that's $135,000/year. But given inflation between now and then, that would be like earning $100,000 now; which would be tight unless I pay off my mortgage too. And I'm hearing social security will be at 2/3 of what it should be when I will be needing it (grrr).

I'd be selling a call spread everyday that closes above prior day high, but SAM is not something I follow.
RE: What I Am Buying Today. - fenders53 - 09-24-2021
SAM went straight up, like 7X over 3 years or so. It has been in a painful retrace cliff dive almost daily since APR. Can't catch a bid since. Makes BABA chart look tame. I would wait for signs of a bottom if I wanted to hold it. Maybe Ray is aware of future growth but the market sure isn't convinced.

RE: What I Am Buying Today. - ken-do-nim - 09-24-2021
Over in the ROTH, sold DRN and put half into UPST and half into FB.
RE: What I Am Buying Today. - kblake - 09-24-2021
added some HRL and AEP.
Glad I kept BABA on my watch list and didn't buy. It's still bleeding. No support until $132. It breaks that and unfortunately it may go to next support in mid 70's.
This just says don't invest in Chinese companies. Crazy it's been straight down since $304
RE: What I Am Buying Today. - fenders53 - 09-24-2021
BABA is past any sort of technical support long ago IMO. It's just a victim of the daily news cycle from the CCP. BABA is the target at least once a week. It's one of the weirdest stock stories you are ever going to see. Everybody knows they have better financials than 95% of the companies on earth. China isn't going to kill their golden goose but they are not afraid to put them on a short leash. BABA has a bottom, and somebody will make money. The biggest problem for anybody way underwater is all the fellow bag holders. Every time it tries to run 10% from wherever the bottom is, investors will dump it out of relief. It could be years before BABA ever sees 200 again. The investor uncertainty will be there for a decade or more. Fundamentals don't matter at all until you believe the CCP won't take it away with little notice.

Wise choice.... I've been holding the BABA handbag since 211$ and dont know how much more I could keep holding... May double down if it comes around $120
