I think Speedy was mostly in cash after selling off his Tesla shares back in January at $1200, with the intention of buying back in in February if things dip. Helluva buying opportunity right now (for stocks in general) for people sitting on cash.

Good memory, Carnos Jax! But I screwed that up. I was sitting on a fair pile of cash after selling TSLA (20% of our total worth, not just our stock portfolio). But my brokerage is Robinhood and I wasn’t happy with how their stock was diving, there being no protection whatsoever on cash held by the broker should they fail, so I bought PG, then MSFT (losing 1.8% and 4.4% respectively). I’m down about 8% overall with my total holdings which would have covered our living expenses for about six months (we live cheap, are retired and everything is paid for). I should have transferred the cash to my bank account right after selling…

Damn bro, you’re still my hero though for timing the TSLA sale back in January….don’t know many that can claim that!

I tried to do a limit order at $153, but it was already way up from there by the time I tried. Maybe next time.

I refuse to even open Etrade this week.

Yeah, I logged into my Fidelity Thursday morning and wanted to cry. After I heard the market rebounded a bit, I checked back and felt a teeny bit better. Still down about 9% from it's all time high a few weeks ago.

A one in a hundred event. The other 99 times I’m off. But today, at the moment, every stock I own is up.

The most interesting part about that TSLA sale was that it occurred at 3:59 ET, the last minute of trading

Then, they went down $50. a few minutes later. miley-laughing001:

Classic! I bought Beyond Meat (they make fake meat) and Skyworks (they make parts for apple devices) a year ago today. Both proceeded to drop like stones — and are still falling. I usually make very good calls, ugh. Luckily I have AAPL to offset! Picked up a little more AAPL last night; it is up today so I'm taking that as a positive sign! miley-gen013:

A year or so ago I worked on the design for a bid to build out the structured cabling system and network for BM's new El Segundo HQ. We didn't get the award, but watching the company's value plummet since then I'm wondering whether that was a bad thing.
