I also lost control of my health again these last two years and I'm taking 6-12 months off to get in shape. Make my health my job like I did in 2017. I also see Amazon being backed into a box with higher costs for a few years and growth slowing for a variety of reasons. While they are growing new lines of business and expanding into many more cities, those moves come with higher costs. I don't see much happening here positive for the next 2 years and by then I'll be close to retirement. So like I mentioned to other CP posters when they asked, if you're in a job you don't like or are underpaid, move on. That's what I am doing. Last edited by scho63; 05-01-2022 at 07:48 AM.. |

OFFICIAL NEWS: We suck at picking stocks in a down, inflation driven market. Only one portfolio in the black. Many down 15%, 20%, 25% even 35%. OUCH.
Congrats HonestChiefFan for winning the 1st month with a 1.05% gain!!!! |

Anyway this was just a fun little game. They could have given it a shot and they could have put the VIX (up 62% since 4/1) in their portfolio. I think they know they couldn't beat the S&P Index and didn't want to play a game too hard to win . I think DaFace has the best strategy, putting my money on him. This is a 12 month project though, there's time for things to turn around. |

Did you grab some ?
I left a lot on the table as it's been up to 7.23 today. Could have made over 27% if I'd used a 2% trailing SL. What I've been doing is just setting a 10% sell order after I buy trying not to be greedy. I'm still learning. |
