Buddy the Tiger

Long story shortish.
FIVN was pick I decided to follow him on. I spent a lot of time listening to him talk about how he’s not a quick flip trader but a medium to long term trader. He also sizes his picks based on his convictions. He constantly talks about weathering the storm on high beta stocks but when you have high conviction, it’s not an issue. He raved about this thing constantly in chat saying things like easy 2-3x from here, easy double. In felt gross to read tbh, felt kind of out of character. He never really pumps things hard. But I figured, if this guy has such a high conviction with such a large option exposure, this will be a good one to follow. Throughout the hold, he was constantly buying and selling positions so sell alerts never surprised me until one day he randomly wakes up and sells it all. No joke within 12 hours of extremely positive remarks about it. All conviction gone in a snap. I guess this can be normal in the stock world? He blames an AI news break for his sudden decision but that’s too volatile of a thought process for me I guess, not what I was expecting from what hes nonstop preaching in there. FIVN went on an absolute tear shortly after so he made the wrong decision. He clearly knows how to make money for himself, im not doubting that. But his words do not match his actions imo. I have since not joined any of his picks and I constantly watch him just buy and sell terrible picks with no conviction. He had one AMPL that’s done well but he barely held that but for maybe 2 months? So idk why he spews this nonsense about how he’s not a short term flip trader when he clearly is. I prefer following some of the other analysts in there like Mystic and watching Pup work his magic.

TLDR: He knows how to make money for himself clearly but his words don’t match his actions. Shouts off a roof top conviction in FIVN for months then sells at the snap of a finger with all conviction gone over night.

Have you sold any? How are you managing this position?

I am in today my brother. Let's get it. Bought this and ADEA.

Appreciate your feedback a ton. What would you say is the biggest contributor to having high conviction in a stock to hold it through a more than 10% loss? Is it just a gut feeling or some particular/combination of metrics that convince you?

If you are not setting an arbitrary target to sell, then how are you deciding on when to sell?

Where are you guys getting your live crawfish in Prairieville?

Opticore, no doubt. I bought mine 5 years ago and love them. If you seen opticore in person, you would regret not getting them.

Amon ra by a wide margin

You clearly don't watch then. Their chemistry is incredible. It is obvious he is having a fun time.

Looking for any recommendations on a urologist in Baton Rouge.

I came across the name Dr Ross Cockrell.

Does BR Clinic have any one good?

Well I just had the gas company confirm it’s not a gas leak. After going back to the house, it definitely has an odd burnt smell. I cut the breaker to the house and have the family at a hotel room. I guess I have my work cut out for me tomorrow morning chasing this down.
