lol and he pays yield off that

I posted on Jan 22 when BTC was ~89k. Glad I didn't pull the trigger lol. Definitely jinxed it, sorry cryptobros.

Haha I get told the same all the time. Talking about stocks/financial stuff everyone my age looks at me like I'm crazy when I say I like gold.

Taking it on the chin from PayPal today.

People were too bullish before and now everyone’s too bearish. Way she goes, Bubbs. sold half my NEM 2 days ago at $130.25. Not in a hurry to buy back but not bearish on metals over the next few years

Gawd UNH

I swear every time I mention a ticker here it immediately does the opposite of whatever I say haha. Btc down 2k since I posted that less than an hour ago.

How we feel about Bitcoin? Seems like its been sitting out the recent rally. Might pick up som IBIT.

Thinking about selling out my TLT. Pretty small position in the red by 1% but concerned what happens to yields if the Supreme Court makes the gov pay back all the tariffs. Might be overthinking it though.

RE: NFLX Reed Hastings just sold $39MM worth. Only like 2% of his shares and probably prescheduled so wouldn't look too much into it. Still something I pay attention to. RE: Index Funds I rotated ~20% of my IRA from S&P500 to VTV (vanguard value) and RSP (SP500 equal weight). Just lightening...

Yeah gold was even worse. Might get a good opportunity in the miners to play Q4 earnings over the next couple weeks.

Sold IBIT at 51.25. Will probably run up now, but I was feeling like I had too much.

Man almost hit the sell on IBIT this morning but selling at open was relentless

Yeah I use to love TD Ameritrade but when it swapped to Schwab I hated the web based UI so kind of stopped. I probably vastly underutilized the ToS platform. Robinhood I opened that account in 2017 or so and fell in love with the mobile app. When they pulled that shit in the Gamestop days I...

I picked up 2k shares last week as well in the $49.15 range. Currently have a stop at that price. Wish I could have sold when it topped $90k overnight.

Charles Schwab sucks. Fidelity is what I'd recommend mostly, but I do have a Robinhood account that I use on my phone just to browse around and check prices etc.

That’s what nice about playing metals with miners, they produce both gold and silver. NEM is my largest single holding.

Point taken, but the reason to use gold as the reference point vs the other commodities you listed, is that gold has a history of being money. The others do not, to a remotely close degree (I know I know, copper pennies). Does that continue? I don't know, but central bank buying and gold being a...

I mostly agree, that why I was specific on looking at 25 years, its not crazy recency but also not a lifetime. That's what I was trying to say in my earlier post about "during some environments you might want to adjust holdings one way or the other". Some people really hate gold which puzzles...

I think I agree with Flobee. I just really like the viewpoint of "gold is money, everything else is credit". You start looking through that lens and you'll see that buying stocks and the "US economy" actually lost money over the last 25 years. Gold price appreciation is probably a better...

Its amazing how ferociously SPY maximalist defend it as a strategy. Especially when you consider how bad its performed compared with the barbarous relic over the last 25 years. Not that its a ridiculous strategy, but during some environments you might want to adjust holdings one way or the...

Looking at my end-of-year balancing. I'd like to move some of my ETFs out of basic cap-weighted S&P500 since theyre so overweight and I own some MAG7 straight. Really looking at taking a more defensive posture without selling out of stocks. What's everyone's favorite alternate to SPY? Something...

Some of my best trades were from that August 2024 drop. I'd take another opportunity like that. Aprils tariff drop was less productive for me because it seemed so much more like a "real" problem than the yen carry drop that I didn't get in as aggressively.

Why do they say BNPL is the worst debt? I only used it once just to see what the hype was (on a cowboy hat lol), and 0% interest was pretty great. I see the appeal. If I could BNPL on my next house I would do it.

this is why I’m long gold miners.

You guys talking about year to date made me go check, haven't benchmarked myself lately. Pleasantly surprised I'm +37.91% vs +17.67% on SP500. Thank you Newmont. This even includes going into Liberation day with $45k of NVDA calls, I swear I'm the only person that lost my ass on NVDA this year.

Looking for a short term play for government re-opening. Thinking maybe UNH with its recent 10% drop.

It’s not cash secured if he’s doing 600k on 100k. That’s naked gambling.

Scrolling through his posts was the best thing I've ever gotten from Reddit. Thanks for sharing.

Because it’s low confidence and I’ll lose less if I’m wrong.

Bought some gold miner calls and some QQQ puts. Both expiring Jan 2026. I’ll only hold the puts a week just as a hedge if tariffs flare up this week. Plan to hold the gold calls at least through this earnings season

If you’re retired and fully invested I get what you mean, but for new money, I need some more dips. April was fun

This slow grind higher is so boring. Where my vol gon'?? Thinking about picking up some Target. Managed to get all the way through Pride month without shooting themselves in the foot again. Nice divvy and might have some catch up trade to Walmart. I know you all hate PEs but TGT's Forward PE of...

Nice snag at $260. Wasn't that low very long! I'm in at $301

Bought some UNH this morning. We'll see if I'm too early, as I tend to be. Hopefully insiders buying will turn some sentiment.

Man that’s an ugly chart. I thought about picking some up the last couple days but thought about Valeant and how when a CEO abruptly leaves it usually means there’s more shoes to drop.

Time to buy some TLT?

What a whirlwind couple of months. Took an absolute bath the week after liberation day and ended up deploying essentially all my capital in the selloff. Taking this opportunity to rebalance to a more normal cash allocation.

Gonna be hilarious if Buffett never bought anything and just sat on cash the whole way down and back up.

Head and shoulders pattern on the 5-Min Vix. I kid, I kid. Just need some hopium in my veins.
