I've hit a double on NCLH. And almost there on DAL. This is crazy.

I kept some dry powder but I think I'm going to hold off for Q2 earnings. I have to assume things will drop them but who knows.


Oh for sure. People will cruise again. It’s part of the dna of a lot of folks. But there will be some delay and earnings will drop quite a bit.

I’m super close to one of my profit taking targets. I hope we get there today because I frankly don’t want to gamble on the weekend.

My cost basis on UAL is $28.30 on a couple hundred shares, so I guess that is good. This is insane.

I sold my AAL stock when it hit 17. I was dumping stocks big time today. Been so hot that I guessed there would be a Friday profit taking crash.
China seems to have greenlighted allow American carriers back in, they apply June 8.. And i suspect like June 15th they will get approval

I got in on Boeing at like $120, never did I think it would break 200 first week of June. Probably just going to take profits at this point.

There is still lots of bad news in terms of revenues forthcoming, that used to be baked into the price, now I am not so sure..

I'm of the same opinion that q2 numbers are going to be poor.

It's clear the stock market is actually based on Earth 2.

The February-June roller coaster has been something else.

Of everything that has happened, this is still the most shocking to me. Fundamental investing 101: don't sell during a panic at the bottom. Especially for Buffet, who is the king of long-term and keep investing simple.

Even if he just flat decided "I don't want to be in airlines anymore" you'd think he would have waited for some bounceback, or spread out the sales or something.


I bought BRK.B thinking he had a mountain of cash and his insurance businesses would just be printing more of it, but I'm at a 3.99% gain since April. I can't believe he sold?

Oh well, I also loaded up on Boeing, which is up 46.15% and Cramer just said he could see $300 if they get FAA approval to re-fly the 737 max in the fall.

I hit my initial target price today. Super happy. Hope it still keeps going up as I only took some minor gains but super excited as this target was almost a 100% gain.

Good callout, I forgot about that, I bought 250 shares at $38, should just convert that back to VTSAX for the long haul.

I'm really curious here. How many people took.some or all of your stimulus money and put it into your Robinhood account?
LOL - I took half of my hazard pay and put it into a robinhood account and took the other half and bought a Nintendo switch....Almost up enough to offset the switch :)

My long term has been vivfx due to my age since I'm not too much of an active trader but I saw the opportunity in my IRA. VTSAX is also one I thought about when I was looking into the 3 fund portfolio - then life got busy and had to just pick one to set n forget.

I have that in my 401k. I liked the much lower costs of VTSAX once you get into the admiral shares.

Looks like it is going to be another BIG day on the market! Dow will hit 30K by the end of July

I bought some DFS and AXP on May 13th, wish I would of bought more... Tempted to take my profits, but I am more likely to hold for for a while. I'm more of a long term trader anyway. Whether that's months or a year, IDK.
