GME back in play
Closed at 91


I dipped my foot in the pool. Bought 10shares at $46.90. Brilliantly sold at $50.25 for $33.50 profit. I think it peaked at around $180 after hours. Had I waited would have made an extra $1300. Stepdaughter bought at a near bottom of $35. Sold at $150. She made $1150. That is A LOT of money for her. She has also made (relatively) A LOT trading cryptos. I keep saying this may turn into an expensive lesson. She must think she will turn into a millionaire. Last night she said the Reddit push will have it go up quite a bit more!! I haven’t checked pre market yet....

The big cryptos will go up. BTC, ETH, even LTC. But she should dollar cost average in. Trading it is dangerous.

What she will do and should do likely have no correlation. How can I tell her in any way she will believe me that her reading Reddit, doing what it says, make $1000 or more a day is not a smart strategy? I will say this.... Even if she eventually hits the position that goes to $0, she has made so many multiples already it will take a whole bunch of them for her to not be ahead. She definitely does not dollar cost average in, as she puts whatever she feels like risking in immediately, then has gotten out quite quickly. I don't think she holds much.

If she is trading in crypto at least tell her she should move to stable dollar coins and not cash. Way faster trades and possible tax savings.

I’m not telling her. Since I don’t understand much of this!

Stable coins are supposed to track $1USD or their own currency. A holding place for crypto.

Remember, I think if you sell you would have a tax liability on $686 of ordinary income! But that’s a good problem....

How about that stock market
I was cheering with conservatives when the market went up during the Trump years
Still going up during the Biden Presidency yet conservatives now silent
Obviously Wall St agrees 1.9 trill will save the economy
Even republican voters are for the bill
Yet no republicans voted for a bill their voters support
No doubt classic BDS.
