Well decided to pick up some more Fith Third Bancorp for a total of 638 shares... also picked up some Disney and Eli Lilly and Ensco, and sold my Masco and Aetna.

Yes. But Kass has been actively shorting this stock, and while I am not into the pump and dump game, I think we are primed for a short squeeze. Especially if the VIX make a sharp move sideways.


Even after all these years, I still never know when you're trolling.

Me either. I dumped mine and took the profit.

I may go in at 150 again.


Good man! I was thinking of you. Hey did the Tesla showroom close in downtown DC? Went looking for it yesterday at lunch but couldn't find it anywhere...

My shares of the Vestas ADR (VWDRY) have really been killing it lately (and in the last year).

My original shares from 5 or so years ago are still below cost basis, but I bought many times as many shares back in 2012.

Need to sell some to take some gains and re-balance the portfolio which is now pretty overweight in foreign wind power stock...

Well my 401(k) just had a big hit. I got a new job with a competitor so the company match at my current job did/will not vest. Good thing though is I got a 6% bump in base pay with the possibility of 10% bonus which is nice. Since I am still pretty young (28), the match was just a small percentage of my overall portfolio. Should make it up in no time.

I know dat feel.

My prior employer's 401(k) benefits and matching were insane, but at a price -- hence, the vesting schedule.

I'm losing 60% of the matching I got. Also, my new employer, a startup, doesn't match 401(k) at all, which kinda sucks, but it's a career investment for me at this point.

But I did get a 15% bump in base pay and a not-insignificant signing bonus, so I guess that's nice.
