No, the average person cannot pull this off.
Exactly
Thiel bought 1.7 million shares of PayPal PYPL, -1.35% in 1999 for $0.001 per share, or $1,700, ProPublica reported.
Not sure how this is relevant to most of the world. [Reply]

Ya know, I filed my taxes this year and then I contributed the $6k so I wonder if I'm just shit out of luck. [Reply]
It's possible to convert funds in a 401K to a Roth IRA. I did it myself last year. HOWEVER you will take a hit on tax liability for the entire amount. You will want to set aside some money to cover your next tax return. [Reply]

If you contributed $6k this year, that will be something you deduct on your 2021 return (that's due in April 2022). You can also amend your 2020 return (that you filed recently), but it'll take a bit of work. Still, if you're in the 24% tax bracket (purely guessing), that's worth roughly $1,440 on $6,000 contributed, so it will likely be worth the hassle. [Reply]

The AGI limits for Trad IRA are halfish of Roth IRA. If he wants to claim the deduction, he'll want to make sure he's under the income limit. [Reply]

And I bet we have some CCIV BNGO SNDL FUBO ZOM CRON bag holders….just to name a few. You’ll never admit it though.
Every stock I've pushed here was right before or right after I bought in except for AMC and GME because I bought into them during my CP hiatus. But I still brought up AMC when it was under $9. I bag-held CCIV and BNGO for a few months then recently was able to make a tiny profit on both and got out but recently got back into BNGO. I lost about $1k on ZOM, no problem admitting that but I wasn't the one pimping it here.
Its obvious you didn't look at the 3 month FUBO chart before you added that to your list, I brought than one up too on 4/8 and its up 65% since then. [Reply]

It’s really important with these momo stocks IMO to follow the 50 day EMA (below blue line). I prefer the 6 mo timeframe. Look at FUBO. It loses the 50 day, straight into the toilet. Regains 50 day, off to the races. Really seems these hedgies and algos really have a lot keyed to that.

I brought it up after the GME induced plunge that crashed almost all meme stocks though...that's the dive you're referring to. It gained immediately the day after I mentioned it, dropped back down and got even lower, then slowly made its way up to where it's at now. Unfortunately I wasn't patient with that one and only made a small profit. [Reply]

Newest trades:
RBLX 100 target bought yesterday
Sold FSLY bull put at 54$ prob 3 days ago
My stop on RBLX is the low of 6-23 (82) x .999 = 81.92
I will sell 25% of my position at 5% gain and adjust stop accordingly then. Looking for retrace back to 95-10 before scaling out more of the position. But don't guess, that's why you always have a stop loss set!

FUBO has been good recently, but as predicated, we have many who bought near 50 and are still down quite a bit. Glad you got out of CCIV and BNGO once they rebounded slightly. Neither has shown much breakout potential again yet although BNGO is getting there if it can maintain 7.50+ for a while.
I just want people to be honest with themselves about getting into stocks and "guessing" without a plan. Don't be a bag holder! [Reply]
