I like to keep my anonymity and just buy their stocks.

Actually went a couple weeks ago to a show on a Saturday afternoon no less and there were only 20 people or so in the theater, I thought it was kind of sad. However A Quiet Place Part 2 does look intriguing.

Yeah I know. I try to buy ahead because I usually watch the stock go up and up. Not sure but I have a feeling something positive going to happen next week. Maybe some upgrades.

Also I did like how an institutional trader came in and bought big dollar amounts. Could have been someone with a massive short to protect their position but unlikely

Need help.

Possible sale of the farm. So it will be a significant load of money.

We will keep a little, but, need a place to park the rest.

Big issue I have Is paying taxes on all dividends that may make us have to pay massive pretax or taxes at the end of the year.

I don't want to wipe out my wife's bonus by paying massive taxes.

I HOPE I SAID ALL OF THAT CORRECTLY.

BTW. I am banned from this thread but still can post on tapatalk.

If I am unbanned, I promise to be nice.

Consulting with accountant and current fund manager soon.

If it's a significant amount of money I would hire an accountant that knows the space really well and do whatever they say.

So the dollar amount in the right column is the total you have invested in that stock kcnut? Like Apple stock shows 4 dollars to the right of it?

[big nasty kcnut]

Yes.

Per your previous comments, aren’t you going to wait until the current administration is gone?!

Ohhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!

This is easy though. AMC stock.

Well you're diversified I can tell you that much.

Stocks that I've considered that you have are CRWD, PLTR, COIN, BLK, BRK-B and BKD.

You should buy BRK-A while you're at it.

[displacedinMN]

The prices are high and there is talk of screwing with cap gains limits.

[lewdog]

Stock screening and boozing is taking place before a dip in the pool.

This is the watchlist. Some of these have patterns that need to extend first but they should be watched. Below that is the best looking patterns and entries for breakouts.

ARDX
EVRG
STLD
WCC
ENTG
EXTR
SWAV
DIOD
GRMN
ARW
SSTK
CORE
FHB
HLT
ALLE
PM
MANT
TTMI
CW
EXPE
WBA


Best entries:
ENTG brk 116.55, stop 112.49, 3.5% risk
SSTK brk 94.25, stop 91.80, 2.6%
CORE brk 47.83, stop 45.60, 4.7%
ARW brk 124.76, stop 119.99, 3.8%

Secondary entries:
GRMN brk 145.20, stop 141.62, 2.5%
CW brk 128.55, stop 124.05, 3.5%
WBA brk 55.96, stop 53.25, 4.8%
AAPL brk 128.47, stop 126.60, 2.2% risk

Sometimes the patterns you scan for don't end up materializing. Instead the stock may trend down, move sideways or breakout before squatting. That why you keep a handful of patterns ready so that if your initial targets do not perform as expected, you move on to another stock that meets your criteria.

If you have questions please ask. I hope someone is learning from this. And again, this is trading stocks, not long term positions. Long term positions in indexes/funds make up 80%+ of my total investments.

This is not a political comment but yes, raising the capital gains to the amount suggested would worry me if I was you.

Consult an advisor on how to protect this money from capital gains issues and report back on some of the suggestions. I'd be interested to know.

The bad part about dividends is that you can be taxed on them even if you reinvest them.

[displacedinMN]

If we sell now, depending in sale price, cap taxes are around 20%. I know there is talk about that going up depending on amount and tax bracket now.

We would complete the sale before the end of the year.

I just feel we pay taxes on dividends now AND when we take payments later.
