I have had plenty of holds move against me after opening a position, and have a stop in mind. You must be the greatest trader ever to never held a losing position. There have been numerous huge moving stocks that have had healthy pullbacks only to rocket to new highs. An example for me is AAPL...

I had a plan last year to build my own desk and build more organizers underneath the structure. Then lumber went ballistic, and am holding off for a bit more normal pricing. Last I looked lumber at the local hardware store is getting pretty close to reasonable pricing again.

And yes the top futures monitor is leaning, I must have bumped it at some point and didn't notice until I saw the picture.

The computer for the futures set up is behind the monitors, and is a new computer. The Schwab/equity is on my right and runs on one I built roughly 8-10 years ago. I took the pictures to reduce the viewable mess that my desk actually is, as you neat freaks have me feeling guilty! :) the...

I don't discount Munger and his knowledge, but he and Warren have been far from always correct. I do agree with the idea the crypto currency fad may take a huge hit at some point, and not recover to whatever the peak level is before that hit, but the idea is ride a fad with the knowledge to bail...

I have a point of pain where I'll get out, but depending on what is going on in the overall market and the stock I may hold or add if I plan on being in for awhile and think we are in a temporary setback for whatever reason. For example NVDA I had picked up pre split at 125, and added more at...

I may have posted a pic of my disaster area in previous threads, but I'll look to get another one, as it has changed a bit. Being a paranoid person, I'll spend some time making sure I covered account numbers first.

I ended up taking 1000shs 258.43 avg not long after typing on what looked like another push. Since I am not over all comfortable I took off 900 shs at 263. So after taxes I have more room if I go into pain with the last 100shs. I'll probably sell calls against the last 100shs as time goes by. I...

Anyone have any thoughts on COIN for a longer term hold? I am having a hard time pulling the trigger, and so far that has paid off, but wondering if today is going to be a rough low, or further down they go?

In the U.S. bad doctors routinely move to another state when they screw up and get caught. Doctor's and lawyers self police within theor own groups and rarley do they do more than slap a bad one on wrist, kind of like unions protecting the half ass employee who should be out, but makes it to...

3 times I had an opportunity to see Stevie Ray Vaughn and I missed all three. First one I had a final exam the next day, and knew I'd be a wreck if I went. One of the few times I demonstarted responsibilty in college. The other 2 times couldn't get out of work, the last one being the concert he...

Two of the most amazing musicians together.

He has done this before, including calling in his resignation instead of face to face. A friend has a son that worked in the football program at one of the places where Kelly formerly coached, and he never had much good to say when I talked to him after he went to ND.

Just finished rereading "If You Meet the Buddha on the Road, Kill Him" by Sheldon Kopp

I grew up on Notre Dame and ND football. My Dad was an undergraduate, and after WW2 a law school graduate, so I was brain washed from birth, and loved it up until the Kelly era. For whatever reason, even though his record there was great, I could never stand the guy. So see ya, don't let the...

If I thought there was some evil cabal at work I wouldn't have gotten the shot. I feel pretty good, I just can't say I'm all on board that we know as much as some claim, but that is also a part of finding a solution quickly. Again, I don't spend time worrying about it as I do have faith in the...

I don't know that most of these medical people have much more knowledge as far as the vaccines go. My wife and oldest son are both medical people. Oldest is a surgical nurse, and the wife has a Master's in Transfusion Medicine, both have taken the shot. My wife has an underlying medical...

Change the name of the programs to student debt instead of student aid. Yes they are supposed to read the contracts that spell out they are actually taking on debt, but as with most contracts they skip through and sign on to debt. We paid for the majority of our kids college costs, one through...

I used to go out for a ride on the motorcycle at the end of the day, weather permitting. Since I sold it I've been doing a meditation session after I shut down for the day.

I will take a closer look in that case! As I mentioned the gun guy at Cabellas said roughly $1500 each at the time, but he didn't do a thorough examination since I said I wasn't going to sell, just wondering whether I needed to insure them extra on the homeowners policy.
