I hope your buy order never hits
Me too man. I already own 150 shares but I’ll double up if it does

Looks like it wants to fill the gap from Sept. 7th.

I think we are filling the gap as well and shooting up out of it. I’m setting a buy order around $75 and going to enjoy the ride from there. If you’re a technical/chart trader the Nasdaq is extremely ugly with a HS on the daily so there might be a little more pain here as the broad markets sell off

So what was the impetus for the price run up and what’s changed?

There were more buyers than sellers, now there are more sellers than buyers ????? Once again I am not a crypto pumper, I just like to look at charts and dabble here and there with trading. BTC is one of the most liquid markets out there and is very easy to trade in/out of 24/7/365. If you don’t like it don’t buy it, I don’t understand why people get so butthurt about BTC

Strong support level 50k lower than it was a month ago What a great asset ! I don't know how anyone takes this shite serious.

Well the price was fairly extended after a nice run up so it was bound to move back towards support. Nothing goes up forever but I wouldn’t bet against bitcoin over the long term and I say that as someone who just trades it and owns zero right now
If it doesn’t regain the 50 SMA around 102K then the 100 SMA is in a strong uptrend at 82 K. Under that there is strong support in the 75-80K range

Depends. It's the economy expanding or contracting?

TIFWIW but ISM PMI indicates accelerating contraction and we’ve been contracting for 8 straight months. Not pretty at all in the industrial sector and I think we have a little bit of pain left IMO

Just out of curiosity, where do y’all see the next Support?

Support in the high 80s. Below that there is none because of the massive gap-up on 09/05 so maybe set some buy orders around $65 and you could get a lucky fill in an overnight session down the line although it doesn’t feel very lucky right now
How is VIX still sub 20? Feels like a ton of stuff has sold off over the past week and nebius has been unfairly punished along side them. Hate to say it but with more tech earnings coming, FOMC next week and continued government stupidity I don’t see volatility improving

That ship has sailed I believe. Apple has been awarded the media rights. The only question is if they will lock it behind their streaming platform or license to a broadcast partner to carry it as well. If they lock it behind Apple+, F1 in the US will be effectively dead. It's shocking because of how much Liberty has invested in the US market over the last 5 years.

I wouldn’t rule out Netflix possibly splitting the rights with Apple or at least getting a few events. Liberty’s CEO has given interviews within the past few days alluding to their next deal being with a partner and someone that will sponsor and promote the sport. Netflix and Apple have both really embraced the product and are on board with growing it, wouldn’t surprise me if Liberty tries to at least throw Netflix a bone

QXO- any holders?

Tech based Residential and commercial building distribution company with CEO Bradley Jacobs. Jacobs track record is unreal, guy as an absolute wizard and this is probably his last hoorah considering he’s 69.

I’m in with an average price around $19 and just buy anytime it dips under $20. Their growth projections are impressive and if they hit them it’s an easy 2X but I think there is way more potential with the stock price IMO
Personally I bought some under $100 and will continue building a small position until it goes above that level. It’s not a high conviction one for me but definitely feels like an asymmetrical opportunity

Did you have the latest updated software with FSD or one that was a year or more old?

I had the latest update available up to January, 2025. If there’s been a drastic update or a bunch of updates after that I don’t have any experience with it
I owned 2 teslas and just traded in my model Y 4 months ago. Loved the vehicle but the full self driving was absolutely horrible. I wouldn’t trust the robotaxi unless someone was in the drivers seat and could intervene but that’s just based on a lot of really weird things the car did to me. I’ve ridden in a waymo several times in Scottsdale and have had nothing but smooth experiences. Waymo seems way ahead in this battle but that’s just my personal amateur experience

I’m on a Sirius 24 month $3.99 per month plan. They add a .85 cents roalty fee each plus taxes each month. Sirius pays about double what streaming services pay in royalty fees. The Copyright Royalty Board judges have set the new royalty rates and terms for Sirius XM. The company will pay 15.5% of gross revenues for the period of January 1, 2018 through December 31, 2022. That’s a 40% increase from the 11% share Sirius XM has been paying for royalties. I don’t know what the current royalty rate is for Sirius but I’m pretty sure the rate hasn’t decreased.

Yeah I’m an idiot. I was reading about them on Friday after their recent run up and completely misunderstood what they were saying obviously. Drunk diligence is a dangerous game

They also own pandora. Ad money and I think they dont pay as much or maybe even anything in royalties unlike the other streamers. They reverse stock split recently because their stock was in the shitter so overall the price of the stock is still dirt cheap
Done quite a few (atleast 4 I can think of) for airplanes delaying on the runway so ATC sent us around. Have had 1 I can distinctly remember I initiated for wind shear in Newark. Never had to do one for an unstable approach or anything
Underwood will have big time NIL deals independent of booster money. He ain’t worried about portnoy’s money, he will make way more on his own without having to tap-dance for barstool on-demand. Also it seems like he wants to play in the SEC and in a competent offense, 2 things Michigan can’t offer
Ninjatrader. I pay 14 a month for the data subscription. Love their charting customization and their ability to trade on the chart but they’re really designed for use on the PC. Their app has very limited charts but is awesome for order entry.

ETA I can’t remember what the minimum account balance is but I think it’s roughly $1000 to trade the micros and they have an abundance of those (SP, Nasdaq, crude, gold, Dow are the main ones I dabble with)
