Speculating on brand new shitcoins is fun. Easy money too if you get in early and take profits when they get shilled and have their first pump. Too easy to find sub 5M mcap coins and ride them to 50M.
I just put a small amount in US stocks, and going to start Aussie ones soon too, inflation is too damn high to keep cash in my opinion but my other half thinks different. There is a big crash coming but I'm hoping I've picked stocks that can ride it out, and I've set it all up now so I can buy quicker when everything tanks, you only lose if you sell lower than you bought. If TBTB manipulate shit enough to postpone a crash long term then I'm in, and most of my stocks pay a dividend.
I've bought a bit more paper silver too, I would buy physical but I only do that when I have enough money to make the shipping worth it.
I don't understand how to do bitcoin anonymously, otherwise trading the swings sounds fun, especially since Stake doesn't do day trading (trades can be instant or take hours).
" I would buy physical but I only do that when I have enough money to make the shipping worth it."
Local coin store. But, premiums! Buy rounds or ask if there is a bargain bin for junk/constitutional silver. But it's so far away! Mine too. Still totally worth it when you're looking for something in particular or when it's a smaller $$$, no shipping costs. Im waiting on purchasing, I want to see the spot prices come back down.
Oh yeah I always forget about them! They are really close, odd opening hours though. I like buying "junk" silver from them. I got stuff from there like a JFK half dollar, a 925 batman broach and a really cool natural pearl pendant shaped like grapes (with what appears to be couple of CZ or plastic stones) which is worth a lot more than I paid as they don't include stones/designs in the prices.
Good stuff. I was just passing the info along, cuz a lot of people go straight to the net for bullion. Btw, the .925 or 92.5% is sterling silver. Sterling silver is often overlooked by and collectors in stackers. It has a higher purity than constitutional silver which is at 90%. While I have seen Sterling rounds out there, I don't go out of my way for them. It often comes in sizes and weights that are untradable. Just passing it along.
If you want to trade bitcoin, you can buy a stock with the ticker GBTC. Their holdings are in bitcoin, as bitcoin goes up, so does their stock, and vice versa.
I moved 20% into a gold mining stocks\ Mutual Fund and 40% into cash.
I'm interested so see how gold does. With the interests in BTC it may lag, but I still like it.
I don't have any gold but I do have some SLV.
Same. Keeping some longer hold future bets, Biden America resistant
My longs now are, CRON, GM, TWO, and KSS. Kind of a weird bunch. I like the companies and know long term it will work out.
I like some other stocks BNGO, NNDM, VYNE, SENS. But I don't have a significant invested in them anymore. I took profits and will monitor for future entry.
I do have a significant bunch of short puts on BNGO... worth making a note of.
Is the Fed still printing money for the markets?
They are.
I’m still holding oil and natural gas. And making a killing over the last couple months.
Yep. I've been watching that. I had a significant XOM position and sold out of it. I can't say I regret that, but I would have made a few extra K if I sold it today.
My three biggest are qep/fang ,cdev and tell I’m tempted every day to tap out and wait for the bubble to burst but I’m thinking these will double or triple this year and I don’t want to miss it .
It's a hard call to make.
I'm already up 100% since November, so I'm okay with sacrificing some gains for security at this point. Still it's hard to watch stocks gain when you have money sitting out the market.
This was exactly what I was thinking last fall. I thought the bubble would pop right after the election and I got out... but it just keeps going up and up and up. No way am I getting into any long positions. I have just been trading the volatility swings.
It is the safe bet. At some point it will pop. Sure we might miss out on some gains, but we can't be subject to losing our captial.
