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.

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

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.

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.

Totally agreed.  So I've decided my next crop of acquisitions are all companies I use every day.

• 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
  

Panera is no longer public.  I have Starbucks.  I can't think of any other restaurants I regularly go to that are public.  Target & Home Depot are already in the fold too.  I'm sure other companies that I use often are out there but this is all that comes to mind for now.

Once I've got all these up at $5000+, I can explore other stocks like CP, possibly the controversial LYB, CMI, MGA, etc.
