2026 investments

Can some explain this system to me?


They issued common stock to buy Bitcoin at $67,200 even though they are already in the hole $7 billion. Why would anyone invest in a company that is that far in the hole when you could just buy the Bitcoin outright? Is this where my index and mutual fund money is going?

What am I missing?

Go to the roulette wheel and put it on red. :jimlad:

You still get leveraged risk even if it’s in the hole.
You can check your funds to see what they’re investing in.

They are gambling the best way possible: with Other Peoples Money.
If they win, they win big.
If they lose, well they still got paid big salaries and prob cashed some options.

What a racket.

Probably the wrong place for this, but when I'm thinking I'm being too conservative with my investments, I watch this video.

If you want to have some fun, look back 7 or so years ago. I was just looking at a weed stock I used to own. PLNH, which has an all-time high of $8.67 in 2021, and is now worth $0.16. It's kind of funny to watch, and to predict what will be the next weed industry,

Buddy and me were just talking how we use to day trade Beyond Meat (BYND) when it was over $100 and now it is $0.75.
 
They bought the coins straight up at market value. Where does the leverage come in?
They have access to capital to buy more than what your cash alone would buy. That’s the leverage.

It has other things available that a direct asset does not since it’s an investment. Available to asset managers. Retirement accounts. Anything you can do with a stock.

Not saying it’s good or bad, just that they’re not the same.
 
Warner brothers stock that I was given from the ATT split has recovered pretty well. Thought of selling a few times but kept thinking it has to recover closer to the 20s somewhere. Thankfully the buyout boosted it.

Not sure how many on here follow 'technicals', but I saw where yesterday triggered another 'Hindenburg Omen' (6th this month) - looks at stocks with new 52-wk highs and lows as a ratio, an 'up trending market', and a negative MCO - basically the market isn't sure whether to keep climbing or if a drawdown will happen.

The last time this many omens occurred in a month was February 2020. I'm going to move to more bonds until late-March/mid-April and then reevaluate. Would rather miss on 5% - 10% upside over being in the middle of a +20% drawdown, but that's my 'style'. Will keep an eye out for 'high quality' companies which are trading at/near their 200 DMAs, looking to incrementally add.

Can you let me know when we hit the bottom?

But isn't that signal wrong like 70% of the time?
