I bought ASML and It’s up over 38 percent.
Added more to my MSFT.

I’m looking at picking up another long stock any thoughts?

It has the feel of a guy at a kitchen table whose mother with dementia is the vice-president.

Not sure what you're looking at but here you go. Basically a business acquisition company with a general focus on fire safety. Price target $2-$4.

I bet most of that is 2020 gains, correct? What is your gain/loss year to date?

Trading has been hard in 2021. Most traders are behind the index this year.

I'm not great at long stock picking. If I do take an individual stock long term, it's a blue chip company for the most part. 95% of my long term investments are in indexes/mutual funds/ETFs.

I rarely short. In trading, get good at one thing and limit other distractions. I have my rules and I am disciplined!

My ADM and Bunge plays were outrunning the market until the market fell out of bed. Now I'm down 1.5% on ADM and 2.1%.

I'm thinking I'll close out on Monday. The grains have broken some pretty serious support. My whole thing was they'd follow grains up as an underrated play. Theoretically they should have strong earnings for the next few quarters as the contracts are realized, but since the market no longer gives any ****s about earnings, I'll probably exit.

Disney had a pretty strong run the last week or so. I think I'll capture the gain tomorrow.

Chevron still blows ****ing goats. Why the **** did I not exit the position when I talked about it before? ****ing high oil prices shit Chevron Price. You're mother's a whore. ****.

My intention was to read up on stock plays on the tractor to keep my dumbass awake. Turns out only time I pay attention when I should be working in the office. So much for piddling for entertainment. I put most of it SPY which is doing great, QQQ which is OK, and DIA which has taken a beating lately.

I'm up but doing a shit job.

Yes, but it had cut down to the low 30's. Back up another 20% in the last month.

I put in a sell order for $54 (only 100 shares). If by some chance it hits it should fall back and I'll buy them back.

AMC really is a scam based on their financials
