Can someone post the link to sign up for the season long competition. I'd like to give it a try this year. TIA :cheers:

My shares just went back out on loan
If you are bullish on a speculative stock that can have heavy swings up and down, why would you want to make it easy for short sellers to spew their narrative by loaning them your shares. If there are no shares to borrow, then shorting isn't such a threat to the stock.
Unless you are holding a high value of the stock and the monthly amount you're earning is worth it, then I guess you do you.
Maybe I'm just unfamiliar with the share lending strategy.
I know I know subtle brag, but staring at a 750%+ gain is hard to just hold.
This at 750% and PLTR at 600% has me puckered up on the daily.
DIAMOND HANDS BABY!

Someone closed a short position?
That’s how I understand it too. They borrowed the shares, sold them at a certain price, and are hoping the price drops enough before they have to return them to pocket the gains.
I haven’t personally done share lending, so I’m not an expert on it, but it doesn’t look like the OP actually sold an options contract. It seems more like a third party entered a contract involving his shares through a lending program. They either close their position or the contract expired and OP's shares were returned. :dunno:

Perks of getting in at 42 cents. Even a dip to profit taking at this level is fine by me. I just care about higher highs and higher lows. :dude:

If AI were smarter it would have told you about AMKR at the time.
Ha! I have to be careful when utilizing AI because it's easy to get into analysis paralysis and if you're not paying attention, your prompts will start to overlap. It's easy to add layer after layer of requests and all of a sudden you are overwhelmed with ideas. I've even called it out for suggesting something that completely contradicted what I requested in prior prompts. It truly is a tool that the more specific you are, the more narrow answer you're going to get.

I asked AI for the "pick and shovels" of the current phase during the AI boom. below are the companies it told me and my current returns as a reference. These were purchased beginning of December:
ASML: 26%
TSM: 24%
AVGO: -15% (i scratch my head at this one being down like it is compared to the rest)
AMAT: 22%
ETN: 15%
PWR: 12%
ANET: 5%
MU: 78% (of course this was one of my lighter entries and im upset by that :lol:)
KLAC: 20%
VRT: 32%
Surprised in the return overall tbh. I was skeptical trusting the AI, but I wanted to see what suggestions it made compared to my own due diligence in the space. The gains are making sense to me while watching the rotation out of software companies that are getting "crushed". These listed companies are the suppliers of the continued CAPEX spending by the hyperscalers and software companies.
I've also utilized the XLP consumer defense ETF recently to help offset the tech sell off. That's been a nice place to rotate some profits.
ETA: if ETF's are something you consider, look at the SMH semi-conductor ETF. it holds the majority of the single companies i listed above and some other similar ones. last i saw i think it was up over 11% YTD already after being up 60%+ over last 12 months.

re: Needs met stay 100% invested?

Meet in the middle if you prioritize more opportunity. Easy to get emotionally ahead of ourselves when we've hit our intended goal but think there's more to be had.
I'd set aside enough to be conservative but still have exposure to some growth. May not be the sexiest move, but it's not going to give you that haymaker of a 30%-50% dip based on your equity selection and lose all that valuable opportunity cost/time.
Then for the rest, you continue to ride out the adrenaline swings knowing this is your "play money". There's a lot of money rotation going on right now so I believe there are buying opportunities in a lot of areas that will have nice returns in the near and long term future. Good luck :cheers:

had 10 shares in a Roth IRA that was provided to me earlier this year. $167 cost basis back in 2020. was a bitter sweet realization cause the ROI has been great, but like all investors say "DAMN why didn't [I] buy more!?!" :lol:

Custodial account could work
I've been told to be cautious with this kind. Granted, this opinion is admittedly a little on the pessimistic side...the custodial account becomes theirs once they turn 18 is my understanding. You lose all control at that point. Pending how much money is in it, it puts a lot of responsibility on an 18 year old. Without looking at a crystal ball, you may not want them to have complete access to this money and use it irresponsibly. Again, I know that's a negative outlook, but I think most of us would admit at 18 years old we probably didn't make the BEST decisions. Especially financially :lol:

For 1% of your current portfolio, is the tax amount on the full distribution worth the headache of taking the steps to avoid it?
I have no experience in this sort of transfer so I do not have "product knowledge" to advise in that regard, but I do know that if it was barely a drop in the bucket at age 70, I'm taking the path of least resistance.

At least the HGRAF guy led with some information. Want to at least give some highlight reels for JSDA?

I think a lot of times our expectations for elected officials, especially when they’re our side, kind of blur reality. If they actually pushed as hard as they could on justice every time, they’d lose leverage for everything else they’re trying to get done behind the scenes. I’m not saying I like it, but it feels naive to think both sides don’t use bargaining chips whenever they can. They dangle the carrots in front of us and watch us all bitch about it all while they keep doing their same song and dance. At the end of the day, it just feels like a revolving door of self-interest at the top and it rarely lines up with what voters actually need.
