Yeah... That was one of the things that turned me off on them when I was looking at them at ~$10. Dumbo Presto. A lack of fanclub is something I actually LOOK for now. Lesson learned.AYR.A doesn't even have a fan club.
It usually takes about 100-150% at least for people to start pumping. CBII started getting discussed/pumped a good amount after around 500% gains. Was glad to be a part of the first 500% AND the second 500% on them. I missed AYRs first 250% but I think there's more to go when all is said and done!That's fine; I appreciate fanboys showing up after I establish my position.
I'm still in SBUX calls; almost took a graceful exit at break even but that DIS action was a good indicator that traders are optimistic (again) that life is about to become normal soon.
Sbux and dis are my two favs

Disney was predictable once they started buying up properties... big $$$ in ip licensing + digital suddenly made real gud sense.
sbux has been luck o the draw.
The real miss was not loading up at $80 after their first post-covid earnings report.I told all my friends (who asked what they should buy) to grab DIS two yrs ago at 120, but I never got around to buying it myself.
Love DIS, but underestimated SBUX in a big way.
I can't believe where it sits right now, and thought Covid was going to destroy it.
I find that my best buys are ranked depending on how much I shit myself. If you're scared shitless to pull the trigger then the upside is probably going to be worth it.There were SO. Many. Opportunities. this year.
I guess one should be happy to catch a couple of rockets, but can't help but feel that SO much money was left on the table, starting from Tesla to 2x Starbucks to 33% Citi to 4x Peloton to $12 Uber. Jesus.
The buy hold and grow old approach applied to blue chips is almost can't miss, as long as you're not completely asleep at the wheel.Ya, I was watching closely cause I saw tank potential - especially since covid coincided with massive store closures. I was up enough that I was willing to wait things out to see what materialized and that paid off bigly.
In fairness this all depends on when you evaluate. At peak euphoria like we have right now everything looks great. After a 20-40% correction across the board suddenly you wonder about your choices. It's all psychological in the end.The buy hold and grow old approach applied to blue chips is almost can't miss, as long as you're not completely asleep at the wheel.
