Like the poster above said, some inflation is good. It’s a byproduct of gdp growth. Unchecked inflation is dangerous though (see Venezuela).

There are groups on both sides of the argument much smarter than us plebs so I guess we’ll just have to wait and see. In the meantime, looks like tech/growth sectors will keep taking a hit. The more delayed a companies future cash flows are the less valuable the company is today (in valuation, future cash flows are divided by a discount rate, so the higher the rate, the lower the present value of those future cash flows).

OPEC+ wants those high oil prices too. Despite what people want to say about low production costs in the middle east, they need high prices to support their economies that are almost entirely dependent on O&G

How can anyone be surprised at rkt? You ****s. Nobody knows when or by how much. But this is pretty damn predictable. Many of you have noticed the "trend"

It's the only trend I believe in

I mean.... you could have said that GME "pump" was over when it pumped to $11/share back in Sep....

it continued on to $480.

these types of scenarios are unpredictable AF in real life.

pretty sure nobody else was holding RKT here

this was bound to happen if anyone saw GME first pump and dump



btw yesterday call/put ratio was 95 to 1 on RKT

today call/put ratio 60 to 40.

in other words hedge funds loaded the phuck up yesterday on puts to ride gains on way down.

since wsb is heavy calls group.

ARK portfolio looks heavy on growth stocks.

Like how much can ZOOM grow when everything is re opening.

How its going tech sectors seems to be fading.

Rotation going toward materials energy.

Smaller market caps are less predictable. And I'm aware you can't really predict anything.

But regardless when it shot up to 11 it dropped to 8 when it shot up to 24 it dropped to 18
Some call credit spreads would have been fairly easy ttades

I’m keeping companies like zoom on my radar and will see if I can get in for a nice discount. I think the markets may be overestimating the impact of reopening on some of these companies. IMO many will continue to work from home permanently moving forward. The post Covid world may be much different than what we expect.

Just because the economy is re-opening, doesn't mean people are going to stop using zoom. I think it's a questionable buy, but it makes up a small percentage of the portfolio and I'm sure we'll see her reasoning on the move eventually. It's likely a long buy and that makes sense to me.

I think market priced Zoom in already for next earnings.

They had amazing earnings and it went to shiit.

Feels like they know next quarter they won't have the same revenue growth.

True, probably lot won't be going back to office. Just that it seems market priced it in.

All ARK has had amazing growth since inception. Last month there was huge outflow from ARK ETF.

If she stops producing 50+ percent returns will everyone stay on board for long haul.

Lettuce be real tea- if it was at 55 I would be praised, and getting out at 33.5 I, of course, get roasted.

Still made money... just less lmao
I don't think anyone is roasting you.

Zoom is here to stay and will continue to grow, but it definitely won't at the same rate. Slower growth will inevitably hurt the stock price.

We saw a sharp sell-off in growth stocks due to a rapid rise in long-dated interest rates and it seems to me that the bulk of the selling is probably behind us. I don’t think this is anything to be overly concerned with for a few reasons:

1) The Fed has made it clear they will not make any changes to rates in the near future.

2) Rising interest rates is actually a good thing – it means the economy is doing well and economic activity is starting to pick back up.

3) The Fed is still expanding its balance sheet by purchasing $125 Billion worth of bonds each month. Historically, there is a tight correlation between this type of QE and the equity markets.

4) The primary trend in equities is UP and the major central banks are still buying assets/expanding their balance sheet. As long as this is the case, the path of least resistance for equities is likely to be UP.

5) Given the high debt levels all over the world, deflationary forces of ageing demographics in the developed world and technological innovation, I am of the view that long-term interest rates will not go much higher anytime soon.

Solid businesses which are rapidly growing should bounce back and the Fed’s easy monetary policies will continue to remain a tailwind for risk assets, in my opinion.

With this, I just put another big chunk of cash in this week.
Agreed.

I think things will return more or less to normal, and I can't wait to get back to having meetings in person instead of through MS Teams and fukn screen sharing. Only been working from home since the middle of December and I already miss being in the presence of lots of other people on a regular basis

Some corners of the tech industry might plow ahead with remote work, but I already know my executives are chomping at the bit to get people physically in the office again

Still holding RKT . . . although not a huge chunk of change in the grand scheme of things (100 shares @ $20.40). Bought it as a long term hold and looks like it might remain that way. Just going to see how it pans out. Still up, just not as much.

Could have taken profit yesterday and dumped it into something else. Didn't. That's ok. The way my luck goes, I would have sold it and it would have pumped higher afterwards.
