Yeah I'm still in it. I split my money between MDR and DNR. DNR is up 46% since I bought it. I should have thrown my whole IRA at it. Hindsight is always 20/20. They're both looking good. I'm going to get some more DNR on Monday. My whole portfolio has been increasing over the last couple days. still down overall. But I hope I can keep trending up.

I think you will see a slight breach of 2600 on the SP in the next day or two and then watch out below.

I have the same set up. I have an IRA that I manage and then a 401k that is managed by my retirement company. They are both down for now, but my IRA is creeping up.

I don't see how we could get in trouble for sharing investment ideas when there are entire message boards dedicated to the very same thing on other websites.

Anybody have a couple of dividend stocks they like? I have owned both Exxon and IBM before,
actually both of their prices are down right now also.

Ford. At $9 a share you can buy a ton of shares

Yes, I had seen Ford. A friend thought they are jacking up their dividend, because of the beginning of the end.
I will look again though.

Aurora cannabis (ACB ) has been taking off over the last couple days. I'm still down because I got in at the wrong time, but it seems like a pretty solid investment.

My 401 plan had a really bad ending quarter. I was going to contribute more but, not sure if I should.

As of right now I plan to just sit on what I have although I would like to buy more stock in general while things are low. I just don't have a lot of free cash left to put into it. I've been pumping a lot in over the last 3 years and am down half of what I gained in the last few months (except for Tesla, which is currently my biggest holding and has by itself kept me in the green overall rather than red over the last few months). Would be a good time to buy in general I think for sure. I don't think you could go wrong by investing in some of the big players (my personal pick would probably be more Amazon). But, I am a n00b at all of this so I wouldn't listen to anything I have to say. Smile

So, I've been thinking about this and I think buy and hold isn't the right thing to do with TSLA. It's almost predictably up and down so why not cash in on that? I am going to take a percentage of my TSLA shares and play around a little. I wish I had sold about 50% of it when it was up over 370 recently because I knew it was going to come back down, even without the correction. I see they just picked up Larry Ellison as another board member this morning so the stock has gotten a boost today. I just sold 10 shares at 335 thinking it will come back down and continue to come down until just prior to the 4th quarter earnings report. I will buy again about a week before that assuming the price is lower than what I just sold at, at which point I predict the stock to rise again (assuming good 4Q news), hopefully back up into the 370+ territory, at which point will start the cycle over. I have 90 shares to play with and think I'll keep 50 shares back at all times for a long term and play with the rest, hoping I can build the number of shares. I realize this will take a tax hit but I don't think this should put me anywhere near day trader status. If I sell and the stock doesn't come back down, oh well, I've made money either way.
Man, pretty much called this one right on the nose so far. I said TSLA would be back down just prior to 4Q earnings call (first part predicted came true) and that it would go up after the call (will soon know if that part becomes truth). It was back down to 281 today. Unfortunately I chickened out and bought my shares back at 315 Friday. Sad I might have put pull out the wallet and buy some more.

Will TSLA go lower? Feels like catching a falling knife right now. I just don’t know enough about the auto industry. I tend to try and buy things I know or think I might understand.

I don't think you can treat TSLA like a member of the auto industry. I don't even think you can treat them like a TECH stock. TSLA stock is WAY more volatile. I'm at the point where I'm not confident it will ever go way up. But, as long as it keeps going up and down I can make a little money off of that.

I was just thinking about doing the same thing. There's a penny stock I've been watching that has a lot of good lows and highs, I'm going to try to ride the tide next time it drops down. CBIS is the symbol. The actual business seems sketchy, but the value is just always bouncing around.

It's all an experiment for me. I didn't see the jump in TSLA after hours or during the call that I was expecting. In fact it was a drop. It's back up to where it was yesterday now. I'll give it a few days to see which way it's going. I guess people weren't excited as I was about them making a profit 2 quarters in a row for the first time in their history, and that they're shooting for their first profitable year in 2019. I personally would rather see them go farther into debt to get working on those other things in the pipeline and improve some badly needed supporting processes to handle the larger numbers of their cars in service. Hopefully they can continue to pull off the impossible.

I have been stalking TWLO for awhile. Wanted to buy the stock when it was in the mid 80s but I kept reading and
watching on CNBC how the S&P was going to retest the December low. I was too scared to pull the trigger. The stock has really taken off. The company reports earnings on Feb 12.(?). I am hoping the markets pullback before the 12th.

They have a billion in bonds to pay off in the bext 17 days. Not looking good.

What's not looking good? The very worst case is they will have to pay the $920M out of their $3.7B they have in the bank. If the stock price goes up enough by March 1st they won't have to even do that.

They can easily borrow the money if they choose but it seems Elon likes to minimize debt as much as possible. Based on the quarterly call it sounds like he is going to pay it off.

The funk is just getting funkier.

They busted out the ol' air pump and starting pumping it back up. There's no fundamentals in the market, just up up and away!

This should end well.

I bought some more....anything under $2 is good. If by chance it goes below $1 then fill up the boats with this stock.
