What did you trade today and why?

[YellowSubmarine]

-NZF sold a portion (break even less distributions) for this week's plumbing job...need 12k from emergency fund.

I can't believe I just day traded a cereal stock. GIS dipped this morning to $33.65 where I purchased 2000 shares and grabbed a cup of coffee, then just sold them for $34.15. What is the world coming to?

To deter me from such temptations, I only own equities in a taxable account.

That's quite a leak

Repipe the entire home
Third leak in 12 years; but this one is in the slab. Chinese copper I hear.

 

[Contrarian]

For safe short term corp. bond, NMFC, investment grade outlook stable, make whole call, matures 2/1/29, yield to worst over 6.7%, cusip 647551AF7, yield much better than MM.

Adding to ongoing core position, FCNTX, Fidelity Contrafund. Total returns great.

 

[Montecfo]

lightened on AMD pre-earnings. After the huge run up my guess is they sell off.

My crystal ball is out of order. I expected INTC to drop after such a huge runup to earnings and they rallied significantly after. AMD could do the same.

sure. if it rallies I will sell the rest. Pretty sure I will get a chance to re-buy.

I have made 5X my money on it. It has certainly met my objectives.

Added to QNZNX and QRPNX. Started a new position in EGRIX.

AMD rallying AH. Glad I only sold some.

Not messing with my stocks for a bit. Still in SEMIS. SMH,AVGO,MU,MRVL.

Did keep going my TQQQ wheel ratchet (sell a CSP and sell a CC each week If my strike gets hit I buy another 100 shares at that exact time) . Sold a CSP on Monday bought it back today (1 day open) at 80% profit on the premium then sold another CSP . Also been selling weekly QQQ Put credit spreads. Closed 2 of those today at 50% profit on each. They are about 300 to 500 a week on those. I put (4) contracts on every Friday while we are above the 200ema. Also plan on starting my triple calendar debit spreads on SPX this Friday. I would say options are my favorite thing to do in the market. Also went live with my traveling scanner. Options and scanners are more like a hobby to me than investing. I shelved my bots. They have no idea when bombs start flying or we get random tweets that need attention.

O ya started on my Quantom explorations. Picked up QMCO and IPX. Quantom computing stocks are right behind semis for the most gains in the last month.

Clog? No, it's a supply line leak in the concrete slab (vs waste line).

MU is going crazy lately.

 

[Davidhelp]

AMD rallying AH. Glad I only sold some.

My sister told me over a month ago that I should sell my AMD and enjoy life.
I explained to her that I would lose money but she does not understand. BTW she is always broke.
In just 5 and 1/2 weeks the stock has doubled!
It went from $195 to $412 (after hours) in just 5 and 1/2 weeks. $217 a share.

Yes, or Sandisk. Like I mentioned before, I wish you guys had told me last year that Sandisk would go from $30 to $1400. You really dropped the ball not telling me ahead of time.

 

[COcheesehead]

Futures up nicely. 10 year yield dropping. For now at least, it looks like everyone wins today.

 

[Contrarian]

Adding to TQQQ.

I think I might sell the 20 year I bought 2 days ago at 5.032%. Looks like it is trading for 4.92% this morning, so it should be up about $1000. I love this bouncy castle market.

I’ve traded it in the past. 5% is a magic level.

 

[SteveTX]

I will be replacing part of my QQQs for FSPTX in my Roth today. Great long term track record!

 

[TheWizard]

I sold just a few shares of QQQ in my tIRA to get cash in there to cover QCDs I'll be doing...

 

[FIYes]

What is going on with GIS? I saw an earlier post where someone made a day trade on GIS. I looked at it earlier in the year and was surprised to see a stock I would expect to be a plow horse of a stock that would go along and throw off a nice dividend. I didn’t buy, but i wondering if anyone has any insight to what’s happening here. Is it getting ready to crash or to quit paying a dividend?

I bought a small position in FSPTX when I moved my accounts to Fidelity in 2018. I wasn't as savvy as I am now and I bought it in a taxable account.

I also own FBGRX (in taxable and IRA) and FSELX (in IRA). FSPTX shares a lot of the holdings in these other Fidelity funds. I feel like I'm duplicating my efforts so I looked to sell my "small holding" in FSPTX. Well, it's grown so much that I hesitate to sell because of capital gains tax reasons. Poor, poor pitiful me--I'm stuck with a 30% average annual gainer.
