Hey Nerds: Blockchain

dividends are overrated

Your no-divy Square has outperformed all your stodgy banks combined.
 
Naturally, but a decent portfolio should give off some passive income too. Like I said, maybe a better approach is to try to find short term high flyers and turn a quick profit, but there's time and energy associated with that, and risk of getting stuck in something you don't really like for the long haul. I mean, at that point, I become a trader, and that's not really something I can really commit myself to.

nope

just said I think your investment in non divy Square will outperform your passive bank stocks
 
Yes, but only if and when you sell. In the meantime, it's a paper profit that can go poof like it did in March.

I get what you're saying - just look at it in absolute terms. Which one makes more, whether you sell or not. But I feel like there's a sense of comfort in building up a base that gives you a steady passive income stream that you can sort of look to as a secondary salary/insurance, for lack of a better term.
 
couldn't resist AAPL puts today... and got a big win. so ending the week 3 for 4.
 
Today is an example of why I tend to not talk about stuff. Ah well, at least I can not look at stuff and get work done.

do you mean...we were all taking victory laps yesterday but are most likely giving some back?
 
I never take victory laps. Too superstitious. Know it can all be over in a moment.

I’m just saying I knew almost certainly that today would be a severe down day after yesterday’s posts.
 
buy some puts!!

I'm getting pummelled today -- a few wins (AAPL puts, UPS calls, ROKU calls) but GOLD and SILVER weak, GWPH demolished, FSLY still drunk etc

But it's only one day, and we're having a good year, so we all deserve a few Beaus this weekend!
 
The USD increasing in value makes my USD account look not so bad today really despite the $SLV death. Artificial but I'll take it. Pot stonks consolidating as well which is needed, although MSOs are still strong as absolute fuck. This is my worst day in weeks and it's actually not bad at all.
 
3.5% so far. If I trusted myself and bought I would sell right here. Could be a dead cat or could go green from here. Seemed like an individual tanked the price by themselves as they bailed on their position. Artificial dump. Happens all the time in these stupid stocks.

Probably not done consolidating but I bought the GLD/SLV that I trimmed earlier this week.

Probably not, but I've felt that on the last couple "dips" they've had. One violently red day and back to the races seems to be the theme with those hot fuckers. Regardless, you got in cheaper which is the goal in the end.

protection puts have been purchased at ES 3339. I cannot ignore my edge.

Even though I bot them puts for next week, the quick 15 point slide got me taking profits on half my position.
