I was looking like a genius earlier this week. Now, I'm wondering if this is the start of another dip. I wasn't expecting another until 2nd quarter numbers rolled in.

Too look "like a genius," you needed to go to a bar or a really crowded beach party in the last two or three weeks. Then, you would have been able to be super-current with coronavirus.

Everyone likes to get in at the bottom to make the most of the uptick . . .

back on LG to check up this thread. so back in 2008 I procrastinated and bought nothing on stock even though I wanted too. so any how this time around I bought a few just to get my foot in the door. CVX , UAl , BA ..... again waited a bit more than I should have to buy but at least finally did.

question to the stock gurus here , what stocks to buy or look into in tech / 5g and not talking the Microsofts of the world . more like new young companies with fresh ideas.

Would love this discussion to incorporate the sharing of different prospects/ideas. This pandemic has fast forwarded how we do things by maybe 5 years. I'm no expert but I've been easing into these since March as I see them as having long term business footholds, most have done incredibly well.

ZM
TDOC
QQQ (bulk of my bet)

Some older purchases

Doing a little offset selling right now.. trading long term losses in and taking the equivalent in gains form long term winners to mitigate tax burdens.

I am curious if people have an opinion on the election and impact on the market.

My prediction is Trump wins market will see big gains then level out..
Biden wins and market with spiral and take a few years to recover.

thoughts appreciated..

MRVL is my 5G bet.

ErikLS2 · #**6287** 07-09-2020, 09:45 AM

MRVL is one of the best 5G bets.

I think if Biden wins it'll negatively impact the market, but probably not in a huge way.

So, the last couple of days watching what is going on with WallStreetBets and Gamestop has been entertaining AND made me even more thankful that Greg talked me into Growth Dividend Investing vs trying to gamble on the market.

Hope you all are well. Should be another interesting year right?

I was considering bringing this up. Its silliness. Fun to watch. I suspect there are a lot of shenanigans going on behinds the wall to thwart the little guys.

No doubt, Scott. I'm a little concerned about the long term ramifications of what WSB is doing. I'm afraid the SEC etc won't respond correctly. Otherwise, I'm sitting here watching the drama unfold, loving the silliness of the replies on that subreddit, and hoping some people really stick it to the hedge funds. They are definitely well beyond investing 102, lol.
