Imagine if you bought at $68… luckily it was just one share as my first stock just to test the waters.

[dodint]

It's actually really impressive where NTP66 bought in at. It's the highest peak between today and May 8th or so.

I did that with TSLA and was able to get out, though I made pennies. I’m going to be holding this and **** FUBO longer than I had planned.

I think I'm going to turn off my alerts and just not look for a month or two. JFC

nothing sounds more awful than "stock market alerts"

what are your alerts? do you get a notification when your stocks go up/go down a certain %?

Yeah, I have my alerts set for any change in price at 5% or higher. The week or so before vacation, I was in the black on everything except for DKNG. Since then, I feel like that dog in the room on fire.

So you are saying you would have gotten the FUBO to the moon alert today if you didn't bail

[NTP66]

Moon, PA? That’s about right.

[Sam's Drunk Dog]

Maybe this is why DKNG is dropping?

On June 15, 2021, Hindenburg Research published a report alleging the online betting company DraftKing's 2020 merger with SBTech Global has exposed the Company to black-market gaming and money laundering. Hindenburg Research called DraftKings "a $21 billion SPAC betting it can hide its black market operations." Following the release of the Hindenberg report, DraftKings shares fell $2.11 per share to close at $48.51.

Those sons of dodints

[Dickie Dunn]

Sounds troublesome. Need that FUBO Sportsbook to fill the void.

[mikey]

That makes me want to buy DKNG...

[NTP66]

Please do. Help.

[dodint]

Oof. Rough opening.

[NTP66]

Yeah, I checked about an hour ago and Grandpa Simpson'd that ****.

[dodint]

DKNG rebounded from its gap, but 10/11 of the stocks on my watchlist are down. For some reason PTON is up almost 4%. Stock market is stupid.

[dodint]

DKNG rebounded from its gap...

Nevermind.

[dodint]

This is going to be my biggest loss ever. Normally I'll just hold a week or two for a stock to come back but there isn't really any reason to think, at this point, that DKNG will rebound. There is no reason that it's down so there is no real reason to think it will come back.

Wouldn’t that mean it’s just as likely to bounce back?

I don't want to spook it but I'm halfway back. Shhhh.

[MWB]

I refused to look today. And probably tomorrow.

[mikey]

I loaded up on SPY contracts with a strike of 460+ for September and October the last two days...didn't look this afternoon, but I was up some pretty major money this morning...long road though with these plays, and I'll get theta-dicked eventually...

I assume you like SPY. I was looking at it as a place to park a little bit of cash that's just sitting in a bank account right now. I want a set-and-forget play that's gonna get me more than 0.1% APY

I think SPY can gain 5-10% by year end if things break right...

Shares of DraftKings Inc. DKNG, +2.60% shot up 3.2% in premarket trading Wednesday, after the esports and gaming company announced plans to launch DraftKings Marketplace, which will offer non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and will support secondary market transactions. DraftKings Marketplace will be the exclusive distributor of NFTs from Autograph, which has licensing deals with athletes and celebrities for digital collectibles. "The NFT boom has reinvented the collectibles industry and driven excitement to early-adopting audiences worldwide--including the DraftKings community," said DraftKings President and co-Founder Matt Kalish. "DraftKings Marketplace will sit at the center of this technological and cultural phenomenon, providing our immense existing customer base with an easily accessible experience that rivals all legacy marketplaces." DraftKings stock has tumbled 22.1% over the past three months through Tuesday, while the S&P 500 SPX, +1.52% has gained 3.6%.

Go on...

[dodint]

It's up big in pre-market as well. If I can get back positive I'm going to put a wide trailing stop on it and see where it goes.

[dodint]

I know I'm a broken record about this but I don't understand PTON at all. It has no business being where it is. Makes as much sense as GME.

[dodint]

If anyone wants to play the Ford earnings game again their call is in two days.
This time I'm going to wait until the morning after and see what happens. If they report fantastic earnings and it plummets three dollars a share about two weeks later I will have made a tidy sum.

[NTP66]

Nice try.
