Another Dow record today. We were told Trumps tariffs were going to crash the market. Looks like it’s quite the opposite

They already did that last year.

That $BETR stock has been a dud.

My modest investment in Rheinmetall looks good right now.

FWIW

Was lower than the current price in the fall but not by much.

Oh look, Orange Hitler is crashing the markets again by threatening Europe.

Which ones were those?

Sorry, missed this. The matthews asia innovators ones Pelosi bought. They are up around 7.5% since the start of the year, the other ones mentioned in this thread are up 10, so they might be an even better option. I've been doing well by just buying what members of congress buy.

I'll look into MINV. What are the other ticker symbols?

I've been doing Pelosi's buys and Debbie Wasserman Shultz. Dan Crenshaw's are also good. There is an app called "Auto Pilot" (it's free). It has all the ticker symbols on it.

Pelosi made me a nice chunk of money with Broadcom, Nvidia, and Crowdstrike. Her insider trading is what I will miss about her the most.

I knew Crenshaw was turning into a big insider. I think he outperformed Pelosi each year for the last few years.

Are we buying silver/gold anyways at these prices?

Debbie Wasserman Shultz bought a ton of NGD which is a gold mining operation out of Canada. There's an expected merger. I've been doing great with that one.

How long ago did you buy that?

It was before the holidays. I got in when it was at $9

Sounds like Space X IPO may be around June co-inciding with Musk's birthday.

Im starting to consider selling CIFR but holding IREN. Staying patient with OPEN.

Ive been considering SOFI for a while, and I think Ill buy that with my CIFR sale.

By the way NETFLIX split a little while ago and you can get in for under 100 a share at this point, which is nice.

What kind of growth is there for Netflix? I see them as pretty well-established now, which means that they need a market advantage for significant stock growth. Do they pay dividends?

I just bought a couple hundred dollars' worth. (I don't have too much to invest at one time.) Let's see how things go.

They aren't going to stop printing dollars anytime soon.

Its a hard question to answer when their company does not follow a distinct path. Who knew what growth was ahead for them when they were just delivering DVDs. Reebok could have killed them. But they innovate to stay alive. And thrive.

Moved in to streaming.

Then in to live sports.

Continuing to grow even against so much competition arriving from Amazon, apple, Hulu, etc.

Now in to small theme park style locations.

To me that's like asking what growth is left for Google, Amazon, and apple. They keep working their way in to new niches or creating new niches we couldnt imagine because things didnt even exist before these companies create them.

But they have a proven track record at this point. I suspect they will grow even if you and I see the path forward. Often times these companies just create new paths.

My investments are for early retirement which I hope to do in about 9-10 years. So Im hoping a lot of these will really grow over the next decade. I have a lot of safe dividend investments like Coca Cola as well. Far better returns than what you get with a bank. Over the past few years Ive been sending my bonuses into my brokerage account so they'll grow.

Netflix has not done well over the past year so I've avoided it. Nvidia has been really good, and I should have gotten Oklo at 40. My dad, who was a pretty good investor talked me out of it.

Ive lost some patience and trust in OPEN. I still sorta like it, but I was uncomfortable seeing it continue to drop. I set a stop limit order to sell it at $5 and that order executed this morning.

Depending on what the sentiment is around the stock if it ever drops to about a dollar or so, I may buy it back and buy even more shares than I originally had. But I got too uncomfortable watching my erode in this one.

Apparently @greenskeeper is all in on OPEN. Damn, shouldnt have sold.
