Ken mentioned the ticker a few months ago. He is into board games, toys etc. Seemed to understand their better products. Is he one of Santa's elves? Doesn't matter, a stock tip is a stock tip lol. I did a little research and the financials looked pretty good. Decent dividend too. Toy stocks like HAS are usually decent in the fall towards Christmas time. I really meant to collect a couple divs and see what happens. I also sold puts on a dip for premiums. It has moved my direction within a week about three times and I keep cashing out. Have one option still sold but it is a mile out of the money and expires Friday. If the market takes HAS back down I might be back.
I got lucky and dumped my BABA a few weeks ago for a small profit. I want no part of it. It's a good company and somebody will guess the bottom right eventually. I have lost all faith in my ability to understand what the CCP might do next. Feels like a lotto ticket to me right now. My only Chinese stock left is TSM. I'd be gone if I wasn't down a bit.

The North American market for tabletop gaming just crossed 2 billion: https://icv2.com/articles/markets/view/4...llion-2020, with role-playing games the biggest grower, much of that being Dungeons & Dragons.
That said, I don't own any Hasbro yet myself, but I won't have funds available for a while to buy anything.

I am killing HAS for you. I thank you for the tip and will be asking for product updates. Someday you are going to understand why I keep a little dry powder at all times for a good deal. I have a lot of dry powder in my old age which is appropriate for me now. In 2000 I learned what being 100% invested in a lofty market can feel like. Even in my accumulation years 5-10% cash like holdings. I was able to swoop up small deals for decades. It adds up big over time. 90% invested in equities is not market timing.
Big week DGF! 165 of the SPY report this week. The fun is just getting started. A few will short term disappoint and create opportunity.

How can you sell it again when you already sold it last time
Tell me your secret lol
