Yup, and it's likely JNJ will make more money off shampoo and band-aids than this Vax a couple years from now.  Market moves more on media articles than facts in the short term.  PFE and Moderna won the 2021 Vax competition.  The revenue spike is far more meaningful to them.      

Added some JNJ long shares.  I'd get more interested at $150.  JNJ dips don't last.

In a gambling mood today. Sold off Verizon, bought MARA (Marathon Digital Holdings).

Don't laugh all I just bought 1500 T LOL. Wil just collect the dividend and expect nothing else lol

Cramer said to sell so it must be time to buy. Back up over 7% dividend. Earnings release is April 22nd and earnings will be ok, slightly below a year ago but better than last quarter.

Always do the opposite of what Cramer tell you and you will beat the market every time lol

Who's the guy on here who said no thanks on AAPL at $118 a few weeks and and said it was over valued lol

Its up 16 points since then lol. Glad I added

Had some accumulated dividends in my trading IRA so I bought a share of RBLX.

I discussed it a few weeks ago with my 9-year old son. Figured I better buy it so I can be cool in saying that I own it! =)

Wow that's a real gamble since the stock has run from .38 to $58 

Blockchain to me is something that may work short term, but I really worry about it long term and once the shorts get a hold of it. 

There's many companies in this space and is very competitive. The big guys like PYPL, V, MA ect will crush these little guys. Good luck. This sector to me is just too complicated to understand for me lol 

I would rather take my chances and buy BABA

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.

I'm going to treat it like a triple leveraged and sell if it goes below the drawdown price, which is currently $39 by my charting algorithm.

If I knew where you lived I would come slap you today.  You have given us so much grief over T.      I am patient with T and make more money than some of my growth stocks.  When it hits my range I start selling puts every week and eventually get forced into some shares. We are getting close to there.  I wish the market would have a bad week soon.  May have to wait for summer.

Bill Gates, John Chambers and Andy Grove taught me that the big boys will swat the competitors away like flies in the end.  But if they are late they have to buy them at a premium instead.  You can make a lot of money on the up and comers if you early enough.  If you are late you have to take some profits if you get a run.  I wish I understood modern tech better.

I know, I know   LOL

I just figured why not. Not much buys I can find right now, and at least with T and its 7% yield it's a good place to hide until something good comes along 

I added NKE in my sons account on another dip.

Utilities are came back strong today off the bottom 

I'm watching ELY to buy some more, I think TOP GOLF will be a big earnings driver for them going forward. I don't want to miss the pop when they announce earnings and Top Golf finally gets added this time around. 

That little penny stock I bought DS has nearly tripled from buying in at $1.37. I think Rory McElroy knew what he was doing lol

T is just a trade and has been for years.  The amazing Div is just keeping it from being a total fail if you hold it for years while anything at all decent has outperformed it by a wide margin in total rerun.  It's on the edge of a true yield trap for now.  A share price that hasn't gone higher for 5 years is NOT a win no matter the Div.  T may very well get the streaming game right and run to 40-45. Hopefully I own some long shares when that happens.  In the meantime I will milk it for option premiums and dividends when I own significant shares.  It's been easy income when I am patient.

I think I will try to save some cash for earnings season. Buying into quality companies that get hammered on a small earnings miss or weak guidance has paid of within a few months more often than not the past 6+ months. If the market over-reacts I'm in.
