I also took a new position in PXD thanks to the secondary at $153

I needed to add another name in the sector to go along with CVX and EOG

now the only other sector I'm underweight in is leisure 

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

Internet high five for you lol.    

VSTO is down because new gun owner security check applications are down vs JUN 2020.  Imagine that, social unrest was unreal for months last year.  Vista Outdoors sold their gun business years ago but they still trade with the gun manufacturers anyway.  I bought some more today.  It will look good next earnings report in a month or so.         

SRE looks good too but I just can't add anymore UTEs.

I'm interested as to why you decided to sell/trim SQ and IBM.

He'll answer for himself but probably just a swing trade.  He got a decent run out of IBM and it's gone flat for awhile now.  On to the next one.

Just FYi...sbux disconnected from fundamentals on all levels right now. They been raising debt to buy back stocks. Debt at 139%. executive compensation was tied to stock performance and hence they took debt to buy back stock to push it higher.

This is a bit old but fundamentals have only gotten worse. https://youtu.be/ROq5NHDzYZQ

Oh dear. Checking the Yahoo Conversations, one person commented on this as well: "I am not sure this Company should be borrowing money to pay dividends. This may not end well."

Made sense on the hard dip past March.  The top tier brands can get by with considerable foolishness and high valuations for quite some time. I nervously held NKE and they came through.  Just never know.  I'll have to dig deeper on SBUX to have an opinion.

[EricL]

SBUX is trading at 38X 2021 estimates of $2.99 and 31X 2022 estimates of $3.60 compared with a historical PE of around 30. 

   

However, it's beaten estimates by at least 10% in each of the last three quarters.

My guess is that with the pandemic on the downswing and the economy on track to fully reopen, those earnings estimates will prove too low.

I do agree that the company has piled on debt in recent years to boost the stock returns, so that is a bit of a concern.

On a valuation basis, it looks a bit overvalued on current numbers, but not outlandishly so if you expect continued economic recovery.

Sold some MSFT.
Sold pltr puts.

I was just reading this article: https://www.investopedia.com/articles/re...m=referral

I got a kick out of #7:

7. Monitor Your Portfolio
There's no need to obsess over every movement of the Dow Jones Industrial Average. Instead, check your portfolio once a year. Rebalance your asset allocation to keep on track with your plan.


Ha! I don't think any of us would take that advice.
