At some point how much of your gain are you willing to risk on a bad quarter or a market moving event? Perhaps at least put a sell stop/limit order somewhere below where you would want to protect your gains.

Hello guys, I was looking for a little advice. I've been reading this from the beginning, I have a 6 figure stash getting nothing in the bank.
I did want to buy some stocks, but I like to gamble & i'm afraid of loosing it all in the market. where can I put this cash get some return, without to much risk. |

Loaded the dump truck on TQQQ. At 110.45. Sold at 123.42 yesterday. Still holding my core SPY position. Looking to buy Apple after split. Hopefully it pulls back a little.

Nope. Added to my position here.
Look at price targets - you're still looking at roughly 25-30% upside. All things considered, there is much more runway here. There will be rough spots without a doubt, but long-term you will be fine.

For those thinking that the TikTok buyout by MSFT is a slam dunk, think otherwise. They are not the only player with skin in the game for an acquisition and like I said the other day, I would not be chasing MSFT just because of a potential takeover here.

Any investment in equities represents risk, so it's best to make a calculated risk. If safety is the name of your game, look at companies with strong balance sheets like Berkshire, or, just take Buffet's advice and buy an index ETF of the SP 500 (VOO, VOOG, SPY, SPYG). I might wait for a pullback though, or dollar cost average over the next few months. The market is bound to correct at some point in the next 6 months from earnings fall/election year. Also, don't throw all six figures in. Save some cash! |

Taking money advice from strangers on the internet is probably not the way to go. Your risk tolerance and target profile are different than other folks here. Most of my positions are in profitable companies and I focus on value investing. There is investing and there is trading. Know the difference. |

Initiated Sep 18 calls on JMIA as an earnings play. Their e-commerce business has interested me in the past, though the infrastructure in Africa is what has stopped me from fully investing in them.
Figure that I can take the e-commerce / tech tailwinds with a couple calls here just to see where it goes - more of an educated gamble here than a true investment, but if I'm going to do it, today's the day with the stock down nearly 15% (after a couple days of truly high returns). If I lose it, no sweat; it will just validate that JMIA is not ready for primetime just yet. Earnings play out on August 12, so we'll see if the company can come through. https://www.globenewswire.com/news-r...of-Retail.html

It sounds like you have little to no background in investing and any advice presented here could hurt you.

Don't think I would compare AMD and NVDA as competitors, they usually move in tandem (at Intel's expense!). One specialises in more in CPUs and other in GPUs and AI.
Both are great long terms holds I think, I'm currently still heavy in AMD but sold out of NVDA a couple years ago. I prefer AMD as they are the much smaller company with more potential for big pops (and I suppose bangs!). |

DIS with the surprise EPS beat. I sold out of my position yesterday anticipating a miss, but the stock looks to be maintaining steady. Overall happy with my decision, as I took profits to deploy it elsewhere. Will most likely re-enter DIS at some point, but not anywhere in the near future (unless there's a huge dip).

I have been in and out of DIS since April. I was also expecting a drop after poor earnings but was pleasantly surprised. I got in after hours just under $118. If it continues to rise tomorrow, I’ll stay in a bit longer, but I’m not too optimistic and will look to get right back out if it starts to slide. Too much technical resistance around 124-ish in the short term for me to hold too long unless it breaks through convincingly. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Huge news out of the telehealth space - a merger between LVGO and TDOC has been announced:
https://www.globenewswire.com/news-r...xperience.html Two market leaders joining together should generally be considered a great thing, though I honestly would have preferred to keep LVGO separate as a shareholder for the growth potential. I'm up 85% in the stock and the agreed upon numbers don't do all too much for me. LVGO earnings were set for tomorrow but were released this am (beats on everything) and a conference call is set for this morning as well. I thought today was going to be all about FSLY earnings, but this has totally blown me away. I'll have to revisit whether LVGO is something I want to stay in prior to the merger.

CVS with a big beat on earnings and revenue, share up 8.9% in the pre-market.
I have been waiting for this position to get moving and perhaps I can now feel better about holding it. AMD continues to move, with the great earnings from TTWO, ATVI and EA people are starting to focus on the next generation of consoles. I am sticking with AMD here https://www.thestreet.com/markets/ap...know-wednesday This massively hated rally is now getting pushed by more stimulus talks. I am holding my cash levels but not selling anything else as I now feel that we can move higher even though the S&P is above street high estimates of 3300 (Tony Dwyer) Targets need to be raised all over the place as this is becoming a very fragmented market from a technical perspective.

I'm going to sell out of my calls which have doubled, and do more research into TDOC before touching my position in LVGO. Previously owned TDOC but sold out; not 100% sure that I want back in. Unwanted mergers...ugh.

I've mentioned Emergent Biosolutions here, and the stock has been on a steady move higher. Up 5% premarket today on news that J&J has inked a vaccine deal worth 1 billion, and Emergent will be a direct beneficiary as they are manufacturing the vaccine and the value of their contracts are going to further expand.

Maybe long-term this works out and I understand why it could stand to benefit (thus why I kept 80% in), but most shareholders would've preferred to keep LVGO separate and growing on its own, IMO.

I closed my entire position at 143.50. I’d rather wait and see how things play out to decide if I want to re enter. I did not like how it was trading and had a gut feeling it was going to react poorly, considered selling pre market and wish I had now... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I do like where TDOC is heading, and LVGO only bolsters the portfolio (TDOC is best in breed here). BUT the short-term road bumps and loss of a multi-bagger in LVGO does make it all the more painful.

Opened up a couple of LEAPS in cyclicals (RTX, MGM, etc.); these are stocks that I think will do well in the long-run but that I don't necessarily want to own at the moment.
All the LEAPS that I bought into expire in January 2022 or later, so plenty of runway here and the premiums are not that bad, which is what makes them attractive.

Interesting move for LVGO/TDOC. Honestly I think this merger benefits TDOC more than it does LVGO. My concern with TDOC alone is that the service relies on having MDs, which kind of goes against the "tech and AI" aspect they say they are about, not to mention that MDs are not cheap labor. The service also really only applies to those without their own family doctor for urgent appointments. The remote aspect is nice, but there are many other video communication services available now that I can use to connect with existing patients if I need to. So from that perspective, TDOC adding LVGO makes sense as it adds a "no-MD required" aspect to their business. However, LVGOs services are fairly limited currently to diabetes, high blood pressure and weight management, which are important topics to be sure, but scaling up to cover the other areas of medicine/other chronic diseases is not going to be as easy as they make it sound, especially in light of other growing tech-medicine businesses. Would expect TDOC to just keep acquiring more businesses in this case.

Took advantage of the large downswing this am in TDOC (nearly -20%) to buy a few calls there as well; up 12% in my calls already as it steadies itself here.
Take advantage of the volatility, gents.

I'm personally not investing in any of the vaccine plays, but I know others here are.

Good article for those interested in SE. And if you're truly looking at investing in the company, this 30-minute podcast on the company is a must listen: https://www.fool.com/investing/2020/...-15-years.aspx Earnings on the 18th, as an FYI.
