Not to mention you called me stupid when I closed the post earnings trade at $198.-
OH GOD I JUST FOUND ANOTHER STUPID VAN MOMENT ANOTHER A PAPER TRADE GONE UP IN FLAMES//
When I presented TEAM the first time I watched in amusement as it rallied one day and then Van never bought it/ never said buy ever and then after it got up a few dollars suddenly van was claiming the trade. I let it go at the time. If you want I can lay this all out but it's boring. Thinking he had pretend trade a winner- Then Van in his own fake world panicked and sold the paper trade.
Folks if you cannot even get a paper trade right why are you reading this?
Van never bought TEAM at $190 and never sold it at a higher price he never gave a buy call here for the Children I have looked. Now he can.
It's become a game for Vz. I game he will never win. And that is sad. I am about results and getting you all the actionable info before the moves happen. I hope you appreciate that fact.
I absolutely welcome ideas from anyone that can pass muster. You must bring the knowledge.
It's hard work.
The rules are simple (i don't even care if it's a paper trade)
-- State a buy a recommendation clearly-- give research to back it up.. Fundi, TA something..
Don't say this looks good and come back 5 days later and give roll eyes. We are adults.
State the price you are willing to buy and the time and where you are wiling to sell. Create a trade. Be original!
Don't pretend. don't glom on-- be real. Don't follow other people unless it's me. I'm the only Whale that cares about your outcome. And that's the 100% truth. And whatever you do Don't Flip Flop On Market Directions-- that's the one that people really complain to me about.
Do these things & You will feel better about yourself.
LET'S GET THIS 2ND DEVIATION AI RALLY GOING
GBA IS A TEAM ENDEAVOR-- LETS BE ON THE SAME PAGE.
.... If that doesn't bring Van back nothing will.

Stoney stoney,stoney...
First of all, TEAM re-emerged here as I of course analyzed their report and called it a top tech stock going forward. A buy and hold for years. Prior to that, August 4rth, we hadn't discussed it at all lately.
I HAVE SAID NUMEROUS TIMES, I AM FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO TRADE QUALITY STOCKS NEAR TERM BASED ON MY MARKET TIMING CALLS. THAT HAS ZERO TO DO WITH PICKING QUALITY STOCKS FOR INVESTORS IN THE GAME TO BUY AND HOLD.
I wrote the other day that I really liked Affirm now for the long haul. This was backed by a thorough financial analysis of their operation. Prior to their latest report, I wouldn't have touched the stock. But like TEAM, and Twilio, (and perhaps MDB --- we'll see), I feel they have turned the corner.
Now, if I look at AFRM on Tuesday and it's $25 and call it a huge short opportunity... that has nothing to do with the above.
ARE YOU TOO STUPID TO SEE THAT?!!!!
And regarding MDB.... that's your stock of the week. Oh, and CRM. And you threw out a few more. But lets use MDB.
That is going to be a highly volatile report. I'm sure the day of earnings options will be pricing a 10% move at least. A $40 move easy. But here's the thing... YOU HAVE ABSOLUTELY ZERO IDEA IF THAT MOVE WILL BE UP OR DOWN AND YOUR CALL OF THE WEEK IS PURE GAMBLING AND ITS DANGEROUS TO THE READERS.
Sure you can have hunches based on the chart or whatever... BUT THE BOTTOM LINE IS YOU HAVE NO IDEA IF THE REAL POWERS THAT BE WILL TANK THE STOCK FOR EARNINGS OR NOT.
Mongo DB is a great company... and yes, going forward with a timeframe of several years, you can probably buy it right now AT THIS PRICE... assuming America in general doesn't get derailed.. and do quite well. This quarterly report will speak volumes to that end.
BUT FOR REAL STONEY... GROW UP AND QUIT ACTING FOOLISHLY HERE. YOUR MONGO CALL, JUST LIKE THE CRM CALL IS IN REALITY A COIN TOSS.
THESE TWO NAMES HAVE BEEN MENTIONED 1000X THIS WEEKEND ACROSS A MYRIAD OF FINANCIAL MEDIA, WITH A RATIO OF 80% OF OPINIONS BEING ON THE "GO LONG" SIDE.
YOUR COMMENTARY IS NOT ORIGINAL. AND IF THEY BOTH DO GO UP, IT'S BECAUSE THEY ARE GOOD COMPANIES FOR THE LONG HAUL, AND TRUE PROFESSIONALS THAT UNDERSTAND THEIR BUSINESS MODELS AND THEIR BOOKS ALREADY KNOW THAT.
YOU ARE FLIPPING A COIN. YOU HAVE NO IDEA. AT BEST YOUR OPINION IS A DISTILLATION OF OTHER PEOPLE'S OPINION, AND TBH, HISTORY SHOWS THEY ARE USUALLY WRONG NEAR TERM AS THE WHALES RAKE THE TABLE... and then buy the stock.
You don't even have your own trading account Stoney. you make up more bs. how many times have I called you out when you said you bought this or that, and I look at the time and sales data... and the trade never happened.
You had the balls to say I never bought Affirm, or Twilio, or Team, to which i wrote in ALL CAPS,,,, "$1000 bet, I send my trades to Baron--- PUT UP OR SHUT UP."
>you of course had no response. the offer still stands
So don't tell me about timing or anything else. Your market timing calls flat out suck. You find some good stocks, but you also find some big losers. Whatever... but dude, I wrote the book on market direction near term... so you need to stay in your lane, because your record is not even in the same ballpark. And I HAVE THE TRADES TO PROVE IT!
And before I close here... What is AI wave 2? I mean that is just stupid. If the QQQ's go up, those stocks go up. But so do all the tech stocks. I mean instead of saying AI phase 2 or whatever... you might as well just say the nasdaq is poised for another run. I mean you sound stupid. And if the Nasdaq does go up.... you'll be here sounding like a fool saying that you called this first before anyone else did. You got issues Stoney. Insecurity or something. But they're there.
