    What a brilliant short term money grab by Tesla. Elon has been testing his ability to affect the crypto market for awhile, meantime buying up a billion of bitcoin, makes an announcement and gets instant return on that 1.3billion of 13%.

    I ended up paying 1.21 because apparently it's a stock you can't buy with unsettled cash.

    Wait... no.... 1.18.

    How much did you buy and at what price?

    I re-bought Virgin Galactic ($SPCE) $55.66. I had dumped it at 49.48 when I was gonna close out my Robinhood account, but I had initially bought at $33 back in December. Another Test flight coming up, if it is successful, the stock should do well. If it fails, like last time, the stock will tank but then it recovered.

    I just bought $100 at $2.80. That's usually what I'l throw into a stock I find online without a lot of research into it. Also late into the game, so who knows what will happen. That's my "monitor" price because its easy to track the gains since its an even number.

    Not to break away from tradition, ZOM goes down as soon as I buy it. :lol:

    Every time man.

    Yeah, it happens a lot. I learned not to worry about it usually. After a while, you get used to it, but usually I recover pretty quick. The thing is, you buy when its hot, then it goes down, but usually over time it'll do ok.

    @EL PRESIDENTE is doing that intentionally. He hypes a stock, you buy it, causing the price to go up, then he sells it, which causes the price to go down.

    May also get back into Alternative energy, which I dumped in my Robinhood Purge.

    Mainly looking at $FCEL, which I bought in Dec at $8.85 and sold Jan 28th for $23.21. Its at $26.24 now.

    Edit: fuck it, bought some at $26.32.

    On the bright side, SNDL is doing pretty good.

    Dude it's like clockwork though, I bought at 2.85 and as soon as I bought it dropped .20. It's pretty laughable at this point.

    Yeah, that's happened way worse to me in the past on Li Automotive, i bought like $500 at market open and it immediately freefell, took a few months for that to recover back, which it eventually did. After a while, you just ignore those patterns. They'll go up or down as soon as you buy, so you just have to live with the short term and it will recover. Its hard to time things perfectly.

    Got some Kiq at the end of the day at $1.21.

    I saw it pop up on my feed with 3 minutes to close, I bought kind of high again as it went up 40% today, but it looks like its going up. Did a quick search on twitter and pulled the trigger.

    Again, just bought about $100 (they didn't allow fractional shares of this).

    Already at $1.35 after hours.

    So like SNDL and ZOM, are those you sit on for a while?

    If Doge reaches a dime, I'll probably sell off another 3000 shares.

    ZOM has something called Truforma releasing on March 30th. I don't know what the hell it is, but I guess that's when it will take off?

    No clue what I'll do with SNDL. i'll prob hold on for a few weeks and go from there.

    I'm thinking there is one more big rally and then its done. Who knows, I'm tempted to pull out more now, but I'm ok.
