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.   Big Grin  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  Big Grin 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  Big Grin

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  Big Grin . I'm in to win it lol 

Are we having fun today  Big Grin

Also initiated a small position in ABNB. My pick on speculative stocks has been terrible this year. Other than TSLA & CHWY that I bought earlier, most of my picks are showing great (some are 50%) losses. I guess I should stop following Cathie Wood sooner. Smile
Buys are get tougher every day.  My spec stocks are tearing it up as I caught near bottom onn most of them (for now).  2021 has been incredible.  I got beat up worse than the market last March.  We have our good times and our bad.  No buys today.
That's great news Fenders.
VSTO has gone a little Momo for me this week. Launching again today. I knew the analyst upgrades would come eventually. Closing my options for a nickel today but I'll keep the shares. Still needs to run 25% to hit fair value fundamentals. Averaging up a few months ago worked this time.
Sold VSTO. Made a nice $1500 in a short period of time.

Put the proceeds in VPU
Sold my trading position in DG this morning and bought ETHE with the proceeds. Will now let GBTC and ETHE ride and see where they go from here. The two combine for roughly ~1% of my net worth, so I have some exposure if crypto keeps growing.

Still keeping DG in my dividend growth portfolio as I like the company long-term. Earnings were good this morning and they raised guidance. I'd think the expanded child tax credit kicking in this July should help sales as well.

Very pleased to hear that.  I was hoping you didn't dump it when you decided to smoke weed and watch Bogart films all summer.  Smile

No kidding I was chilling in a hotel room doing stock research last summer while my wife was gambling. I told her I don't have to like it but the DEMs are going to take the Whitehouse and maybe the Senate. I started buying some shares in Ruger and Vista Outdoors that day because history shows nobody like sells guns and ammo like blue politicians. Told her if it worked out I would buy her a new Ruger pistol as we like to target shoot. Actually all the rioting was making her nervous and we were ten miles Minneapolis at the time. I later figured out little VSTO was making a move on cornering the ammo market. It happened and up $9K+ on smallish purchases since then. Wish I could do this every year. I am out of guns but VSTO will likely go past $50 when they crush earnings again. You still can't find bullets even after they keep raising prices. Same story with solar but the return rate isn't this good as I was late. BTW I should go order the pistol today. Four month wait last I checked.
Added ABBV and CVX

I continue to add to these names. Fits the theme I want. Great dividend, and great valuations.

ABBV is now my #2 holding Wink

I trimmed CNI after getting in at $101 last week. Still hold some

TECH not buying yet. I still think the valuations are way too high. Eventually the market will get in right. Only names I have been adding to on weakness are BABA and AVGO. Anytime I see AVGO go below $425 I add. Baba under $208.

That's about the way I have been playing of late. And of course will add when I get a big dip in companies I like. Such as DG added at $198 this week. And not. I like Eric I'm not selling the name for some spec like ETHE lol. I thought you were done buying spec stocks with your track record Wink jk

Nice on VSTO. Great time to sell on that jump. From $9 to $44 lol. But most likely will continue to run with a low PE of only $9 and earnings of $4.44. Sound like what a FANG stock should look like Wink

I love DG longterm.  DLTR will be tempting if it pulls back a little more. I intended to add to DG today if they blew earnings but they did OK.

DLTR getting interesting as well if it pulls back to that $90 level. Love the stores. I actually never been in DG store. Drove past many lol

VSTO is going to smoke earnings through the summer for sure as they can't keep up with production.  But at some point normalcy will return.  If it were high PE I would be gone today.  They'll get more major analysts coverage soon and we'll know the peak is coming as they missed the bus a year ago.  Cramer has been hyping it but he was way just less late.

DG has their act together considerably better at the moment.  My wife shops both stores and makes me stop by DG weekly to pick up certain things.  (Cheap quality brand dog food is a staple purchase).  DLTR has other things she believes she needs to have.  (Crafting supplies for one).  IMO there is a market in the US for both of them to add hundreds of stores a year. They just have to execute and not get stupid with debt.  Long way of saying I think both of them are solid if you buy dips and don't panic buy the runs.   I may sell a DLTR put and try to nab some $95 shares.  I'll add at $90 if your wish comes true but I think the whole market would have to get whacked.  Anything decent drops and this market can't lay off it for more than a couple days.  Over and over and over it happens.
Closed my Ford options. That was a nice week. Selling some covered puts and calls on boring stuff like PFE and BTI because I have to feed my income addiction a few times a week. Safe put sells are getting hard to find.
