My portfolio is currently exactly 20 stocks. All of the big name tech names sans Netflix.
For a little diversification, I have 2 healthcare stocks and 3 financial stocks.
I am staying away from energy, utilities, industrials, etc.
So, most of my holdings are the main tech and consumer stocks.
Actually, to answer your question, my most profitable tech stocks have been Google and Microsoft. Google is probably the best of the main FAANG.

yea that's why I was interested. Looking at all the other spacs that have redemption rates as high as SOAC, they all went through some sort of pop. I'm already in VIH, and selling puts on SFTW

Also, you can sell a 10/15 $10 OPAD put for 2.05 premium

I have two accounts;

-long portfolio that no matter what happens never touch

-short portfolio where I do stupid stuff pretending I can successfully swing trade and take some short options


with that short portfolio I am waiting for dip to buy

no point of trying to guess where falling knife will land if we do get normal September pull back, I will just wait till we find bottom than buy.


no matter what happens every single dip will get bought cause JPow will never ever let this market crash again.


here is some events that are on plate this month

-next week VIX expiration
-9/17 options expiry
-9/22 fomc meeting
-9/30 index options rebalance

samesies about short and long term account.

but, i've been messing with my Long term for the last week.....i know i shouldn't. I added more funds there because i'd be too reckless in my short term account. i have multiple bags on that account.

gonna just buy dips every now in then if it happens.

So my on again off again paramour that I was having an affair with over the past 6 years of her marriage and through numerous of my own relationships recently got divorced and their assets were complex enough that most of their liquid assets were liquidated to cash.

I don’t know exactly how much she’s worth and don’t care honestly, but prior to her divorce they were worth in excess of $100 million three years ago and had substantial crypto holdings which have increased quite a bit over that time.

She asked me which brokerage to use and I recommended E*TRADE or TD Ameritrade, she told me that was dumb because they’re only FDIC insured up to $500k or something, which I hadn’t thought about before.

For ultra high net worth individuals how do they handle this limit? Even if she signed up for all the major brokerages and put $500k into each one it wouldn’t be enough.

Bonus, she got a “Property of BDMF” tramp stamp to celebrate her divorce with a large crown on top of it. It’s the most absurdly slutty thing on what was a very nice housewife only a few years ago lol. I’ll share a pic she had me take of it at our last meetup session if someone has a good answer.

Edit: BDMF stands for Big Dick Mother ****ers. Going to an exclusive luxury hot springs resort known for swingers with her next week, I’m sure the tattoo will be a good conversation starter lol.

"Apple also justified its 30% commission by saying the earnings from in-app payments help improve security and privacy for the iPhone users that give developers a massive captive audience."

so apple store just lost (potentially) up to 30% of revenue... ouch

How do you guys think the market will move next week?

Could be a solid buy right now after multiple days in the red and hovering near support. Then again everyone is fearful, and the CPI release is coming out on the 14th (although the PPI forecast was on the dot)

refer to chart above on SPY, answer is right there on that chart.

and what is upcoming next week and week after.


SPY goes tests 50 MA.

SPY dip gets bought.

trend has not failed 8/8 so far.


buying puts on SPY too expensive for the risk.

why bother instead buy dip.

Well there's solid support at 448 but obviously the last thing anyone wants is to buy in early
