YEAH, THE ADVISOR THAT HANDLES 3 SHARES TRADES LIKE YOURS. LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLO

You pay him 34 basis points for this:

Had a conversation with my money manager from Vanguarde yesterday

They think the market will roar back on news of a vaccine or even releasing some of the population being released back to work

They say there is tons of money on the sideline and with interest rates so low that there is no place for it to go except back into the market

And can't even spell the investment company's name correctly.

I bought ROKU, IBM and PTON over last couple of days

I don't know what to do now, ROKU and PTON are absolutes monsters that go up every day a lot no matter what the markets do. Do I sell? They are both up 50% already.

My buddy just texted me and told me he got in on Roku at $62. Sounds like you are in the same boat. Depending on your position/how many shares you bought, I might siphon off some at 50% mark up and hold others. It's like we are in two different markets right now lol. Tech companies are booming and everything else pretty much sux.

IMO-----Tell me to piss off if you think I am wrong.

PTON- This one is interesting. You mention it "goes up" every day. It is indeed about 75 cents off of its' all time high. But it has only been listed since the end of Sept. We are talking about 6 months here. So there is not a lot of charts to stare at. It has had 2 significant drops. But it's gone even higher both times.
IMO- Pelaton is a good candidate for a buy-out- If I had a position that I got into early, I'd hold out for 50.00 per share and then sell. Or at least sell a portion to take profits and then hold the rest if you believe in it.
I fear that they lose subscriptions after the initial trial periods. I think they are growing now and everyone is home so that is beneficial. But once the quarantine ends, will the growth be more steady? Will it drop? PTON as a company is divided into 3 segments. Connected treads and bikes-----Subscriptions------and apparel and accessories.
A very interesting stock IMO- It's on my watch list but I think I missed the boat and I am not gonna enter any positions with an All time high on the horizon.


ROKU- This one I never understood- My folks have ROKU- People I know have ROKU- It's embedded into every TV nowadays it seems. My guess is it will ebb and flow as retail does. More and more people "cut the cord" Theaters are even gonna go bankrupt. And streaming is at a current all time high.
With all that said. The last year has seen a ton of volume which means it's prices are manipulated. HIgher highs and lower lows with the volatility. For my money at 127.00 and some change per share, I like so many other companies better. ROKU's 52 week high is 176.55. Not sure where you got in, but I'd sell this one.




I based my thoughts on the short term(1 year or <) If you are a believer and think both of these companies are here to stay, you might consider holding and buying the dips. For that I like PTON much more. PTON is just getting started and could you imagine if Samsung or Apple latch on to put their equipment into service? Or fitbit? This one could go much higher. ROKU has had some years already and it could be stretched to its max already



This was is all me speculating and reading charts for about 20 mins.

Thanks, I think that is solid advice. My normal individual stock investment is normally anywhere from 15k to 40k. The higher priced stocks like ROKU obviously means a lot less shares. I appreciate what you are saying as I really don't know what to do. I have plenty of duds in portfolio and some good ones.

I don't want good ones to become duds either, which I have done. I guess I will hang loose, maybe take 1/3 off for state of mind.

So BA just set a lower low than the last time. Barring any major news, look for it to dip lower. Still love it at these prices so I will average in. Maybe next week sometime.

A world class education has served me for a lifetime

Your remedial education has landed you in a place filled with your mortal enemies, Elgin. Congratulations on your lack of success.

Enjoy finishing off the rest of your pathetic little life living in a Spanish speaking refugee camp.

Omelet is that old guy in the locker room, naked with one foot kicked up on the bench, yapping away to anyone who will listen.

You live in Elgin you moron. You worked your entire life to wind up in a place filled with people you hate.


Eres un pedazo de mierda ignorante, trabajaste lo suficiente para retirarte a un lugar lleno de gente que odias.
