The Stock Market 2024 Thread

Closing those USB call options with a solid gain is a great move. And snagging $10 from COIN after a week isn’t too shabby either—sometimes it’s about those little wins that add up.I had a similar experience last year where I made some quick trades and ended up closing a few options early, too. It was a bit of a scramble, but I learned a lot in the process. I also stumbled upon apex trader funding, which helped me build my account without feeling stretched too thin. It gave me some breathing room to explore different strategies.

I’m up 8% overall after I sold off some dumbass gambles and still holding $1300 in open loses 🤦

I went back to basics mostly with one current gamble on Dana $DAN. Currently up 8% on that one but not expecting a windfall

I think I’m just going to DCA if it drops on my blue chips

Dana was a bit of a roller coaster the past several days but had stabilized back above 8% profit. Wondering if I should move more money into that position and double down
 
Rented a uhaul Silverado today for 2 hours. $100 later, $19 in town my ass advertisement.

Anyway checked out the ticker UHAL. Damn they are up YTD. This place is a license to print money.

I might stuff a few shares into the retirement account
 
DJT up about 18% today. Still down from highs...

Seems somewhat tied to his and Harris' success on TV.

So what happens if he wins? DJT soar? Tank if he loses?

Or if they succeed in taking him out?

I might be interested in dropping some coin on it if it does come back down. I feel like it would FOMO surge if he wins the election though. Who knows how big:grinpimp:

FWIW, I do not own any of those at this time.

That has been an absolute fantastic stock to own for the last 5 years. There was a 1:10 split in 2022. The Shoen family still owns it iirc and there’s some interesting background stories there, murder/suicide etc

Long since 16.42. Already taken half profits. Damn because it rocketed again today. If we get a pullback sub 19 I may add. But at this point with stops in place I am nicely green and will hold through the election.

Daily chart actually looks good. A retest if the resent breakout would be even better. Trumpy wins this goes to $50 plus. Watch for insider sales over $32.

worth throwing $1K at it?

If $1k is less than 1% of your net worth sure

If $1k is this month’s mortgage due last week then no

DJT is $21.40 as I type this after close

Let’s keep it simple
50 shares @ 21.40 = $1070 plus broker fees if any

Conservative stop around the 16.40 breakout level so max $5 risk per share and max loss around $250 plus fees if any

You could be running a tighter more conservative stop around 18.32 (my current sell is 18.25) risking a little over $3.08 per share a little over $150

Upside with patience (and Trumpy winning) I can see targets around low 30’s. Let’s days 31.40 to give you $10 per. Note that the technical levels on this are not easy because Trump. You could rub it and sell using those levels or use my standard method if I am too lazy or busy to monitor it and take profits at 5% and 10% moving stops into the green as soon as I can. Obviously I carry larger size with these trades same risk

Then leave runners through the election. Be prepared though in case of
  • October surprise in whatever form
  • Trump putting his foot in his mouth and killing his recent momentum
  • watch Polybet, the recent polls and recent odds seem to have influenced DJT. Duh.

I put in a buy order at $16.34.... it's been volatile enough that it might hit.
 
Long time reader, first time poster.

Intell has been a straight up banger this past month (following their big crash last quarter) I think I'm up 20%?

Iirp has been huge for like 6 months ths now. 42% gain plus reit dividends.
 
JKS has also had some interesting weeks lately

Why was the divy suspended? Even with the split, I feel like there is some room to grow with all the disaster relief and relocation incoming

Idk I havent looked at that account in a while because it’s my set it and forget it account. But if this is to be trusted probably why

I’d like to see what used trucks sales account for as well. I know Penske is the largest but uhaul probably has to be up there with them. Penske is big on commercial leasing where uhaul is largely 1 way trips

PAG is their ticker and it’s a much more stead increase or so it seems. The reverse split makes uhaul look screwy depending on the charts you find

Definitely some Support / Resistance around 25, then 27.50

We see an Orange wave Nov 5th and 40 definitely in play maybe 50.

Only caution at those levels is watching insider sales.

Hovering just under $24 right now... peaked at $24.50 earlier today.

Going to continue to watch.
 
My CCL investment has jumped up the past 3 days. I'm well into the green and planning on holding for a few years. They have a new island location opening mid 2025.

Given it is up almost 50% since the VP debate 16 to 24.

Needs to consolidate here to build the next leg. Significant overhead resistance as those old buyers are cutting their losses and selling

I am going to place an order today for a breakout above 25.xx (stops likely 23.9x). Expect a retest of the breakout. If we do get a second leg 32 is a reasonable target.

Not at my desk so no exact levels. Usual caution with trading essentially a meme stock. Technicals easily disrupted by breaking news.

Still holding 1/2 position DCA 16.xx
 
Gonna need a miracle in the next couple weeks for the lotto TSLA calls to recover
But added to TSLA leaps today on the dip.

Long NVDA and AMD paying. Now Jensen stopped selling I think NVDA can see 140. Long AMD in my hold portfolio since sub 90

$30.07 today. Going to be interesting to watch over the next 4 weeks.

Guess whose add order expired? Damn. Still holding and have moved my stops to just below 26.

Still think 32 possible this week.

Given the meme nature of this, it could ride back to the 50's if Trumps momentum continues (seems like the Fintwit crowd is relying on the betting markets for President not the polls - we shall see which is more accurate).

Feels overbought, but this is not trading on technicals really, though some of the technical levels remain valid. One solid bit of good news for the DEI candidate and DJT could be sub 20 again. Manage your risk accordingly.

Todays move may be linked to reports of a Truth+ TV service. If that is the case, we could see a pullback in a day or two. Could.

Also significant resistance overhead in the entire 29-32 range.

Given I missed my b/o over 26 to reup, (and ignoring my current very green holdings)
be prepared to buy on any pull back to the 25-26 area, could set stops in mid 24's.

Be patient, wait for DJT to consolidate in this 29-32 area, and buy on a breakout over 32, ideally a breakout and retest. Would have to risk a stop sub 29 to give it enough room, or wait for the b/o and retest and then you could set a much tighter stop.

Or it could GME and head to the moon, Shorts are already being squeezed, they likely bail over 32, which could then see the stock move significantly and quickly into the low 40's and higher.

The key with dividend stocks is to monitor them. I like monthly, because you don't have to wait the three months to find out if the distribution went up, down or stayed the same. I have a watch list on schwab and check weekly or sometimes twice a week.

Also, I don't really care about share price growth as long as they're paying profits back to the shareholders, in fact I like a nice low stock price like that so I can buy lots of shares.
