Stocks

Can you buy them yourself or do you have to go through a broker?

We have accounts that allow us to buy individual. Tbh the small portfolio we put together ourselves had faired much better than our broker directed ones. I tried to balance it on my own. My wife did buy one stock today, it was one on my list but not the one I would have jumped on. It’s ok, it’s not a stock we would flip it’s to hold. I still think maybe add one or two more.

And master we we only add to our individual picks with profits from previous picks or profit from bitcoin or another investment. The goal is to never put additional funds into it and see where how we do. It’s a bit funny, my wife has made picks in the past without telling me and the drop a 100% gain on me when I didn’t know about. She did that with homedepot recently. I really won’t be surprised to see another 20% or more drop that’s why it’s important to trim and take profit on occasion. I still have one in our account I bought long before we were married that has had some incredible gains over the years but I’m thinking of finally doing something different with it.

Well I gotta give my wife credit. She made a ballsy stock move today. She went against my recommendations but fuck it she didn’t cry went I went into bitcoin years ago which was a complete gamble. Sometimes you gotta take some chances. Shit I’ve been working since I was 14 I always found if you don’t put together a side hustle you struggle. So good luck to my wife I told her peloton was a bad pick many months ago when she got it and I was wrong, although if it was not for the shutdown I still believe peloton wouldn’t have made it. We will see what happens, she told me I was dumb when I bought Tesla years ago. Ah married life.

Glad to see Trump and crew may be having Chinese stocks delist from the American stock exchange. For too many years they are manipulating data. Look at luckin coffee for example. They make the accounting bullshit practices US companies pull look like small change

These riots have sent the work at home wuhan friendly stocks shooting up again. Businesses won’t be opening during these riots and there is concern these riots will act as super spreaders if there is such a thing. So zoom was back up 25 bucks a share the entire list of stocks labeled as covid friendly are up directly to the riots. It’s fucked how this shit works

Zoom might be back up temporarily but Google is really trying to take that out permanently

Google Meet is clearly going after Zoom, but Google is still careful to leave a few features for its paying customers. Trust me all you need to join a Google Meet meeting is a Google Account, which anyone can sign up for using an email address. Google is not enforcing that limit until September 30, but even then it is an improvement over Zoom’s 40-minute limit. On the other hand, Skype and Messenger Rooms do not have any time limits.
