I play around with it on my old RH account. The % isn’t right at all because I started this morning with $333. RH has been absolutely jacked today....

I quit playing for awhile, but I jumped in, Ive got over 5k quantity at .026. Im gonna watch it like a hawk though, but why not it could manifest into something.

And I agree on RH being jacked, somehow, the price keeps going up, but my account balance is lower than what it hit at one point at a lower price. And I haven't bought anymore.

That's Leon Cooperman in the video. Thomas Peterffy is the chair at IBKR.

Thanks. I mixed up the videos from post #11476 in the Politics Forum stock thread. I thought that it was a weird rant for the Chairman of Interactive. Instead it’s a hilarious rant from a hedge fund principal at that. And Leon is a crook according to his Wiki bio. LOL. Eff Leon!!!

I might open that Interactive Brokers account after all. Their margin rates are the best. By far.

Here is the most shorted top 20 stocks. I'm in at .52 on NAKD (75% shorted) and everybody is saying buy and hold there just like they did in GME. I watched 5K gains disappear but it isn't about the money now watching all the manipulation the past couple of days.

It's also a cherry picked 16 second video of Cooperman. When the video starts, the clock on screen reads 11:31. It reads 11:35 when it ends. I'd want to see the context of the four minutes in between before making any assumptions on what he is saying. Context usually matters. I'm not interested enough to look it up, because I think Cooperman is an ass based on having heard his opinions in the past. Having said that, this is some pretty poor video editing looking to elicit a response on twitter.

New to this game. RH user. I’m trying to make a little bit of profit over the next year to fund a guitar purchase, rather than let my money sit idle. Can anyone throw out a few stocks that are likely to trend up in the next year. I just want to buy them and sit on em. Thnx. Pictured is what I’ve chosen.l thus far. Not sure which of these would be best to continue purchasing shares in. F48730DB-49B9-4F8D-8F7D-E1ED75B7BB3F.png

I finally got in yesterday on GME at 237. This is some crazy sh*t. I've been following reddit fairly closely with all this, and the amount of people on there saying they will never sell is unreal. What they post vs what they actually do may be vastly different, but who knows.

If only it was easy. Be prepared to lose a lot as that is just as likely as making big returns in 2021. My advisor told me that the firm’s investment professionals from the main office in NYC were suggesting that clients should expect around 5% as normal (after I told him that what I’m shooting for is 2 or 3 doubles in the next 10-15 years).

You are spreading it around and diversifying a bit which reduces your risk considerably. To get substantial returns you’d most likely have to be concentrated in just a couple of names with large chunks of the total... but your risk also soars with this approach. It’s really going to depend on what you are shooting for. 20% or 100%. You can get a nice guitar right now. You’re not far right now from a new, basic Strat, Taylor, or Gibson. Be careful or you might be settling for a used, low end Squire or Epiphone (which are really pretty nice for the money).

If you are determined to take substantial risks you might check into the 2x and 3x leveraged ETFs. Maybe even go in on some bear oriented ETFs.

You said that you want to pretty much buy and hold, but if you want to try some swing trades you could check out FAS and FAZ and bounce back and forth between them.

There are a bunch of high-risk, volatile penny stocks mentioned on this board. But remember those ideas are akin to gambling. Those stocks might triple or they might go down 75% in a week.

Cherry picked or not, it’s still a billionaire hedge fund over lord taking a dig at the commoners while whining about the government not being fair to the mega wealthy. I wonder how many tax credits him and his Buds have accepted when buying their high end Tesla’s as he’s beyotching about those government handouts that might be enough for a brake job and a new set of tires on the 2002 Fords and Chevys that the unwashed hope can get them to their jobs at Great Clips and Hooters.

Perhaps. Again, I think he's an ass, but I can't interpret much of what he is saying here without context.

Here is your quote above with me removing some words in between.

Travel stocks are still in recovery from COVID lows, so there are some opportunities there. Someone mentioned JETS as a good ETF to hold. It's a Index fund with a combination of several airline stocks and airline related stocks. I will be putting a good bit of money into this in the coming weeks as well.

I haven't researched it yet, but I'm sure there's an ETF for hotel and travel related stocks that include stocks like Mariott/Disney/AirBNB/etc. I imagine once vaccinations reach a certain level, leisure and work related travel will pick up significantly. Of course that's only my opinion and I could be completely wrong.

The other thing is this is proving to a lot of people that the stock market is just a game manipulated by the big guys. There's really no arguing it at this stage. I mean look at all the ties- RH is largely owned and financed by one of the companies bound to get screwed by this whole thing, and nobody believes Gamestop is worth $300+, and now we know exactly the way these hedge funds will manipulate everything from press to brokerages and on and on in their favor at the expense of the companies they invest in (and other investors).

I've been investing since the mid 80s. It has always been that way. Wall street is where the money is.

I see what you mean. It is two comments stitched together that might could be totally out of context. The bull**** part needs some clarification. The first part he might be arguing about opening up the economy for the worker bees. It’s edited to sound like the unwashed are sitting at home waiting on their government checks.
