I own about 50 shares of Amazon which hasn’t netted much. Price was down a bit today, going to wait for a decent day, sell high then invest more in IREN/CIFR/Open door. Jackson really likes Upstart, BTQ and ETHA so might throw a little on them too.

I bought 100 when it went under $100.

I sold something and had a little over 100 bucks to play with this morning.

I bought 20 shares of OPEN this morning for $4.20, and it is now $5.13

1 share of IREN at $26.17 and it is now $29.48.

Opens up to 6.80 today so up 30% since your price point. I’m in 1000 shares at 4.50.

That is awesome.

OPEN is wild. From about 50 cents to 10 dollars in about 2 months.

Im sure there will be some selloffs along the way, but it sure looks like a major dump will occur at 82 dollars.

Now there are a lot of people saying 500 is the new 82.

So whats the exit strategy? Sell half at 82 to lock in profits, and let the other half ride and see if it actually hits 500?

I made about $6k on opendoor so far. They named a new ceo yesterday, combine that with the speculative lowering of the mortgage rate that explains the spike. We’ll see the long term gains but between open, IREN and CIFR I’m up $10k in 2 months off those stocks alone. I owe Eric Jackson a beer.

I still haven't seen his next pick he was teasing.

I got 30 more shares of open today. At $10. I'll buy a few more if it dips much further.

I also have a limit buy of some CIFR for $10 as well.

Sold my Amazon for these purchases. Thats been stagnant for a year.

It's up 22%

Oh no! I guess it'll suck to have 800% returns instead then.

This is why you'll be poor for a long time

That is quite literally not true.

This has nothing to do with that. Its a fun account. For taking chances on 100x stocks instead of sitting in Amazon for slower growth.

If those other stocks go as they say they may, will have plenty of money to dump back in to Amazon if it starts going wild again.

Amazon is up 23% in the past years and my account is up 43% so Amazon has been an anchor against my growth relatively speaking.

Since I started the account in 2020 its up 55%.

Presented without comment

Amazon has been in a nice slow growth phase. Not long ago it was over 2000 a share. It hasn't really been as much of a runner after its split. Especially for the last year or so.

I took one of the slowest growing stocks I have and sold it for OPEN which is going crazy now. Memeish. I am aware.

If it pays off, and if I play it right and dont lose everything lol, I'll put the money back in to amazon, or APPL or Google... until there is another opportunity for explosive growth.

That would be the biggest argument against it. If you are looking for long-term growth staying in Amazon is the right call. I've seen people burned really badly by GME, AMC, WKHS, etc.

Eric Jackson nailed carvana. When I initially bought IREN (bought at 17 hit its high at 37 today) and CIFR (up 50%) every analyst called them a meme stock. There’s been a small pivot on opendoor from meme stock to we’ll see with the new ceo and AI integration. I bought at 4.50 a share (1000 shares) its trading at 9.50. To me it’s worth the hold.

Anyone buying Oracle? I know it jumped 30% last week and normally I’d steer clear but if they buy TikTok that stock is going to explode.

I would never wish against another man's prosperity. I hope it works out.

The "crash” did happen about 4 months ago because of the stupid tariffs so you’re just bit off. Recent markets are just reacting to the rate cut.

He keeps wanting to make this a thread to argue about the economy instead of doing it in the economy thread. This has actually been a nice thread helping each other out with stock picks and no arguing. I say we ignore his fishing attempts in this thread and keep it civil.
