I dumped Tilray. It broke the resistance and decided I'd had enough. So when it takes off, I'll take credit.

I also dumped UNP. It beat it's earnings projections, and the price didn't respond. So I don't want to play.

Holy balls. That Netflix gap is enormous, no matter what scale you put the chart on. Yuck.

So what happened to the market today? Everything is in the toilet.

I'm really shocked by this stock. It has so much going right but the market is not kind to too much of anything right now.

I hear you. Everything else I have is in DIA, QQQ, and SPY I should probably dup them too.

I'm less surprised that Netflix is losing subscribers than I am that it took this long for it to happen. They've bumped their price by over 50% since 2015. That took it from "no brainer" territory (at $10/month) to "is it as good as HBO?" territory at the current $15.49. And now you have others filling in on the no brainer side like AppleTV, which is only $5/month. It's just hard to justify keeping Netflix.

Now, does that reasonably suggest that a 40% correction is in order? No. But it seems like investing is becoming a game of overreactions anymore, so I'm not surprised that it's happening.

I think Netflix is looked at like basic cable for most people. It's the base streaming service and the others are specialties.

They still didn’t break even. It’s one thing to eat losses when you’re on a growth strategy. Those losses are explainable. Now they’re eating losses while trying and failing to expand. That’s pretty gnarly.

Yep, I had a huge green day yesterday but gave most of it back today.

Fundrise is my only steady green account lately.

I've made a whopping 2 trades in the past 2 months in my brokerage account. No reason to give your money back when the market isn't trending in the right direction.

I'm still dollar cost averaging into my 401k at this time for index funds. I am making consistent contributions to my ROTH IRA but leaving some as cash for now.

Here's a look at some favorite growth stocks that have taken a beating. These are weekly charts going back to the start of 2018. Some back to 2018 levels.

My brother always says just buy a stock and forget about it. Look at it in 10 years. This shows exactly why that's not a good approach. AAPL and MSFT you could get away with it but not these so much. Lot's of profit got left behind here.
