I've sold quite a few of my tech stocks yesterday including $Tsla @690 and will look for a re-entry (I did buy a couple at 630 this morning just to keep an eye on it).

You're still buying the dip then.

I don't wanna discuss Tesla as it seems to annoy some on here.

Big question now is will this become the start of a down trend. I hope so because I'm short and will try to stay short as long as possible.

Furlough schemes extended here in UK.

I'm hearing lot of noise about redundancy where businesses started before the government extended Furlough scheme. Damage done and will start to show or will hide until Furlough actually ends if it ever ends.....

Economy is bad. Everyone keeps telling us Economy is bad right. Shares need to go down then. Simple

I could go on about bubbles - shares and home prices

I could go on about commodity prices rocketing higher pushing up costs

I could go on about government bail out money creating inflation which central banks can't control while printing money causing more inflation

I could go on about interest rate expectations going higher

I could go on about debt at record highs and the risk of defaults becoming a contagion - businesses defaulting or individuals losing jobs or small businesses when government bail outs end for good

I could go on about taxation coming

Keep it simple

Everyone keeps telling us Economy is bad

How can you be a buyer if everyone telling us Economy is bad

Given Barclays meteoric rise in the past few days - now well above March 2020 pre-Covis levels - I'm wondering whether to risk a GraniteShares 3 Short before a potential Friday afternoon sell-off.

Or should I just sit on my hands?

Peak Covid and Brexity worries I bought Lloyds (on the basis it couldn’t get any worse) and HSBC - but I stayed out of Barclays despite thinking they we also undervalued - something about Barclays I have never liked, so its only sentiment.

52% gain on HSBC, about 5% on Lloyds - they really are a dog.

Either way I think they are all good long term holds

I bought in to Barclays on April 6th last year and am currently 97% up - didn't put much in as I was being ultra-cautious at the time.

JUst not convinced it can go much higher without at least some selling off - it's up 21% in the last 30 days and just under 8% in the last 7 days.

Here's a stupid question from someone who's experience of the stockmarket is that I've watched the wolf of wall Street 3 times.

If there's a private company you can't buy shares in but have a strong feeling they're going to do very well, what's the best way to know if and when the exact moment is they go public, if they ever did obvs.

IPOs (initial public offering or ‘going public’) are announced ahead of time.

Sometimes you can get in on the first day. Others you can’t.

And for Dave's benefit - the Steve Madden part of the film....in fact I am sure Belfort does a piece to camera explaining an IPO in the scene.

He was an incredible investor-just wired differently to everyone else. He's too old for the game now. Berkshire did nothing during the crash in Feb 20. Oh, except dump 4B in airline stocks for a massive loss, musing that airline travel will NEVER recover.Everything was on sale and he didn't have the balls to pull the trigger on companies they even owned. Huge miss. Munger must be pushing 95

$Tsla @ $572 - going to watch this...

I did put a chunk into $XOM PM for the time being, but with recent sells I'm at 70% cash, but remaining portfolio of gambling weed and value stocks I've now gone negative for the year : /

YTD -0.04%

Buffet is buying his own stock. Clearly he sees nothing else of value .... yet.

$EYES up +133% today and a quick punt for a lofty $40 profit, but may have some room to run

The madness may be ending finally.

If Tesla comes down to $250 I'm going in!

Zoom short

I got in around 390

[p1stonhead]

Zoom price was never going to last once the end of the pandemic was (in theory) in sight.

However I do rate them as the best video call software out there. I have a paid account so no limits and can share screens etc. Seems a lot more stable and nippy than MS Teams.

Still too high.

Their market cap objectively can’t be higher than $100b can it?

Even that is the same as VW.

Phil Oakley did a good article in IC on them this week.

I also recommend the Focused Compounding podcast - a good 2 part analysis of his letter to shareholders and general strategy.
