I'm quadruple leveraging SNAP, so suck on that.

I watched the documentary Inside Job yesterday night, currently on Netflix (pretty great). Then, this morning I read on Google news "Treasury to call for rolling back banking regulations" lol

SKT seems pretty darn cheap here. Pays a reasonable dividend and possible 20-30% upside from where it's been a few times before so I'm adding into my holding of this one.

LULU had a little run up there on a buyout rumor but now it's back down to under $50. I'm holding a decent amount of this now and hoping it'll get back to that $60-70 range.

GILD, wow, can't believe how low this one's gone and for how long... what is it now, under $65? crazy. I think i started buying this in the mid 70's or high 70's. Even the little dividend isn't going to keep me warm at night. I keep hearing people talk about a buyout of INCY or BMY but seems management is waiting for the right time or target before moving and the market has gotten pretty restless about it.

People bought the hell out of that Brazil dip! EWZ is doing pretty good today.

Wow, I have tripled up between my bitcoin and etherum coins. Bitcoin is almost at 2300.

Yeah... I didn't want to buy more BtC once it hit 1k (didn't know if sustainable). Obviously regret it now
