Trades are not working in my portfolio. I think I need a refresh
(like another SPY system trade would be nice...).
Reflation/back-to-normal stocks are bust, 'infra' stocks are bust,
alt energy stocks have been killed, EV space is a bust (with the
exception of TSLA, somewhat), energy stocks keep getting sold, meme
stocks (small/mid high tech) and SPAC are dead. One of my dividend
stocks crashed 12% yesterday (wtf..).
What is working? Gold/silver and bond? I don't have those...
Trading in big tech laggards (ones who haven't regained ATH) is
still sort of working but easy money has been made, probably.
I could just load up on SPY calls on Monday, sell them on Friday
for a good profit, rinse and repeat. Would make more money than
whatever I'm trying to do.
All crypto-related stocks are not equal, for sure. Don't quite
understand why RIOT and MARA traded so differently today but oh
well I don't have either anyway. I have SI and wish I had MSTR
instead.
TSLA wants to go past $750... Fine with me but should I sell or
keep it for another pop tomorrow? Or don't get greedy... I'm one of
those without a firm plan...
Half done for the day. Sold AMZN calls for profit early in the
morning, still running TSLA calls and AAPL calls. TSLA still
strong, AAPL not so much but making money for me :)
After Steve's wise words, closed out today's AMZN call EOD, AS
PLANNED. I noticed also that the stock is almost completely out of
Bollinger Band. By holding till EOD, doubled the profit :)
AAPL is also very much out of BB, but the calls I bought today I
planned to hold them to next week. Much less stake than AMZN call.
Phew.
Situational awareness is what I'm missing... Lost half the gain
from yesterday on AMZN call, totally unnecessary. Heck for that
matter I could have dumped everything into MAIN when I first bought
(Nov) and enjoy dividend and over 30% gain.
My portfolio fared worse than the indices indicate (flat to
modest gain). Dividend stocks and SPY system trade were the only
greens :( Crypto carnage didn't help.

Market is green? I wouldn't know because the only thing green that I have is MAIN. All I can do is lol at my poor choices lol.
Bought NIO on 200MA. Hope it's not a bad choice.

MSTR up 18%, SI up 2%
RIOT up 16%, MARA up less than 2%
EBON up 6%, SOS down 4%.
Wonder why TSLA went up
Posted by lapri24 on 13th of Apr 2021 at 04:28 pm
Wonder why TSLA went up that much today. Not complaining but is it the same reason MSTR went up (holding a ton of bitcoin)?
Very happy with the trade.
