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 took the NAIL proceeds and sprinkled it around to the other triples which were all on sale today (TECL, TQQQ, SPXL, RETL, etc.).  I also bought more CSCO and CURE (the only triple which is still rising, because it is 10% JNJ).

You ever hear that saying. Buy low and sell high 

Your buying high and expecting higher 

Question. Just curious why you buy everything in the same sector or sector like? These type of etf's are all up too much, and the market will soon price them right. As of now was over valued. One big correction and these will get whopped 

I thought you learned your lesson on MARA 

And no I'm no attacking you lol. All these investors expect a triple from here when they already tripled lol. No one is happy with 5% anymore. Everyone expects 100-200 percent lol

My buying is to buy stocks when there out of favor and leave the high flyers alone. These high flyers are going to get hit hard in the coming months.

I'm already short on 8 names and that list is growing....

TECL and TQQQ are the same sector, different weighting on mostly the same stocks (Apple, Microsoft, etc.).  SPXL is the S&P 500 tripled.  RETL is the retail sector (Gamestop, 1-800-Flowers, etc.), CURE is pharmaceuticals, DFEN is the defense sector (Lockheed Martin, etc.).  I like to think I'm buying different sectors.

The lesson with MARA was I threw money at a stock my ex-sister-in-law said was hot.

But after two days of losses, I'm hopefully buying at a discount.  Also, I think we are entering a choppy period but not an overall end to the bull market, so triples should still do well.  Also most of my high yielders are doing well, even HRZN is back up today.
