Dude I am a charter member of ENPH.  I made a few hundred a month the past year selling short puts while it ran.  I have a few short puts that are WAY in the money after this bloodbath.  I can only roll forward so much before I own $140 shares.     I said here many times I was good with adding a real position starting at $125.  If I am honest I need ENPH to head back to $120ish to be back to even.  I wasn;t aggressive enough when it was truly cheap.  I'll add shares to my growthy port in the meantime.

Yeah yeah. What ever floats your boat   lol

I am very good with owning ENPH long-term.  How happy I am in the end very much depends on the entry.  We'll see where the bottom is soon enough.

Well me too. Got in at $108.90 

This will be a big winner for years to come.  You have to add at some point, so why not today. I don't worry about making a few $ here and there  . I'm in to win it lol 

Are we having fun today

I know this forum is primarily about dividend growth stocks but i feel like we could get more traffic by broadening it a little. I havent found a forum online that is an all in one investing forum and i feel like if you could do it right it could be lucrative.  A subsection for dividend growth, a subsection for spec, a subsection for index funds, options, 401k questions, tax questions, basically anything having to do with money and/or investing.

i may not post much but I read this thread basically everyday as it seems to be a good mix. I'm just thinking out loud after reading about the possibility of someone new running this site. I have no experience in that field but i would like to have one place to talk and share ideas in all things investing.

back on topic of what i bought today...i picked up some more ABBV. Days like today have me conflicted.  It's nice seeing 99% of my portfolio green but it just means my avg cost is only going up lol

-You are on the spec thread now for practical purposes.  There are others and you may start your own if you wish.

-There really is no "forum takeover planned".  It just needs moderation as Kerim has personal issues to contend with.  Important stuff like family illnesses.  I'm confident it will remain a DGI forum.  New members have not been able to join and that is a problem.

If any of that sounded like I was scolding you not my intent at all.  Post away, start threads, whatever you like.  Almost all of us have a side game to go with our DGI holdings.  Not really a place to spam daily with tickers we found on the net without research, but we are all open to hearing about the next Amazon you found.

Sold a SOFI put.  Need to recharge my SPEC but most of it needs to dip a little more.

no worries i guess i should've worded it a little different and i definitely didn't intend to insinuate a hostile take over or that this forum needed to completely change. i was more just thinking out loud how i wish there was a one stop shop forum.

Back to Hasbro, much more than just a toy company.
- Yes, Magic the Gathering & Pokemon are big money makers and will always be
- The board game hobby is growing, and they have some star titles like Betrayal at House on the Hill and the whole Axis & Allies line
- D&D 5th edition is selling like hot cakes.
- Nerf as mentioned has been very big for them

I don't own any right now, but next year when new money arrives I hope to.

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. 

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.

Wait for a dip and start nibbling.  After Christmas is when the toy stocks pullback so don't enter on the annual peak.    It will go flat a few times per year in a good year, like early summertime.  It doesn't have to be the perfect stock ever, but I can't think of a better stock for YOU.  A CNBC headline headline isn't gong to make you nervous about their mid-long-term plans.  Kind of like my VSTO.  I target shoot and I love my Davy Crockett black powder toys.  I know reality and some dude in a suit on TV won't scare me out when I know their books and they can't keep the shelves half full for over a year now.  It really is the same thing.  Invest some of your money in what you truly know.  Hold and worry about your other holdings.

• Apple - my computer, my phone, my tablet, iTunes, etc.
  
• Disney - Marvel, Star Wars, and maybe I'll even return to the theme park, plus the cruise lines are great. Been really enjoying Disney Plus streaming service
  
• Microsoft - Powers my work laptop
  
• Amazon - where I shop the most; covers Whole Foods as well, and I've been using the streaming service
  
• Facebook - browse it often
  
• Exxon-Mobil - where I get my gas.  I really do think they locate their stations in the most ideal spots compared to others
  
• Hasbro - D&D, Axis & Allies, board games, etc.
  
• Verizon - both my cable and my phone
  
• CVS - I shop there almost every day.  I prefer it to Walgreens
  
• Capital One Financial - my bank
  
• Mastercard - one of my 2 cards.  Discover isn't public.  I dropped my Visa card when they couldn't handle fraud properly
  
• Morgan Stanley - home of my company stock, and they bought E*Trade.  Supposedly my accounts will merge next year.
  
• Cisco - all the VPN and meeting software we use at work
  
• General Mills - Cheerios!
  
• Proctor & Gamble - Head & Shoulders, probably lots of other things I take for granted.
  
• Netflix - still the best streaming service
