I started a margin account swing trading strategy this year, I swing trade using about 100k of my roughly 200k of available margin, and only on stocks that I'm happy to hold if the market turns. I've mostly been using POW, it trades a decent average volume, fairly predictable swings and the dividend very nearly covers the margin interest if I'm holding for longer waiting for exits. So far it's been working quite well, the current goal is to have it cover 100% of my mortgage , which so far, it has. In the last 3 months alone, I've made 16.5k on swing trades alone , not including 1129 in dividends. it has cost me about 430 in interest, which I do plan to deduct on my taxes so I'll get about a quarter of that back. I'm not blind to the risks with this strategy but I think I've mitigated them quite a bit, my largest risk is a margin call but the main portfolio would have to drop very drastically, I also set a limit sell, fairly low to make sure it doesn't hit on the slightest dip but also where I wouldn't lose sleep taking the hit, and that hasn't happened yet.

My concern is that the market hasn't corrected itself yet. If not now, when? This rollercoaster keeps going up, up, and up. 🎢 It will be a scary dive when it happens. 📉😱 -Myra $SPY$QQQ$VTI
Rest of the market’s getting smoked and $L is actually going up. Every day I’m more tempted to add more to my position. I believe it's a solid pick for a portfolio, given it holds one of the largest shares of the Canadian grocery market. NFA

$AMAT is not a broken company. In its latest quarterly report the company posted record revenue, gross margins at a 25-year high near 50%, raised guidance, and a dividend increased for the ninth year straight. By every fundamental measure, business is booming on the back of AI demand. And yet the stock is down over 14% in a month, and today, on positive headlines, buyers still didn't show up. Volume has been negative five sessions running. So what gives? Two things the good news doesn't cancel. First, price. The stock trades over 49 times earnings, and analysts at Yahoo Finance flag it as sitting above fair value. A great company at a stretched price is not the same as a great trade. Second, the tide. Money is rotating out of semiconductors as a group right now, and even the best name in a sector being sold gets carried out with the rest. This is the lesson I keep coming back to. A stock is not its company. The business can break records while the stock does nothing, because the stock also has to answer for its price and its sector. My scanner reads all of that at once, and today it says the same thing the tape does: leave it alone. It even marks the level, near 552, where the math would turn interesting again. Great company. Wrong moment. Those two things live side by side more often than people think. Not investment advice. Do your own research. 🐝read more
Closed out my $CJ Cardinal Energy Warrant position on Friday by selling all 2,000 at $4.62 In 4 buy ins, purchased a total of 8,000 warrants at an average cost of $2.27 Sold 7,500 at an average of $3.35 and EXERCISED 500 👍🏻 It was a volatile ride making that +50% but I knew this going in. I must have Round Tripped 3 times 😂😂🫣🫣🤯🤯 With Energy looking to open down Monday, there may be opportunities to buy it back 🤡🌎 If it wasn’t so GD sad in the Middle East, it truly is one of the biggest Clown 🤡 World 🌎 Shows I have seen in my 65 years on this planet. Get ready to HODL my fellow Energy investors 😬I think it may not be too easy for you non-hydrocarbon folks out there too. Glad I loaded up on Yen 💴 for my upcoming 3 month trip to Japan 🇯🇵. Things are getting very interesting there too. 🫣🫣🫣🫣🫣 read more
Been a while since a proper coffee money update. So if you are new, here's the story... Every time I skip buying coffee at my local bakery, I buy stock instead. It's essentially an exercise in discipline. Basically, the rules are: - stock has to be high risk/reward - must be cheaper than a cup of coffee ($3.25CAD) - can stop buying shares once it caps out on price, or position reaches 1000 shares - not allowed to sell unless it gets at least 100% return - not allowed to sell to take a loss Best case: 🚀🌙 Worst case: Bankrupt or delisted 😵 ☠️ I started with $ASST, but then it reverse split and that was that. 😬 Next, I chose $COSM and it's actually looking pretty positive at the moment. 👀 Sooooo.... has anyone else started this fun little project?? If so, let me know which stock you picked and how that discipline is going! read more

I feel like these two are battling for capital flows. Could make a good pairs trade. We’ll see if this memory regime holds up into the back half of 2026
Meta stock ($META) just took a major hit, sparking volatility across the tech sector. In this video, I’m opening up my actual brokerage portfolio to reveal my current positions, losses/gains, and my strategy moving forward. youtube.com/watch?v=qa7jXpy2vpk&feature=youtu.be
I sold my 300 shares of $USAS for $3.78/share and 50 shares of $SLV for $51.23. Both at a loss, but some cash for my stash to pump $PG up to 100 shares (once my limit order executes). This is when I'm hoping share price drops!
$TQQQ started my experiment again Market order at 10:00 -10:30am Limit order at 1% above entry trying to get 1% a day on Green Days Used 1k before I scale it
I keep seeing online about how $SOFI is this great company to own as a long term investment and I have done some research and I will be doing a lot more but I wanted to come on here and ask why people think SOFI is such a great buy. They keep improving revenue and profit each year and they are changing banking but when comparing them to some of their competitors $ALLY and specifically $NU they seemed dwarfed. NU is estimated to make almost four times Sofi’s revenue this year (4.5 billion for Sofi and 20 billion for NU Holdings) and is expanding in the US market. There was even the short seller report earlier this year which could be and probably is a bunch of noise, but even so people are hyping this up heavily and treating this as a great growth stock. So why SOFI, why is SOFI this great growth stock I don’t see it on the surface and could be missing important information but I don’t understand the hype.
$NOW posted above performance earnings growth and everyone sells. Nice. But seriously what do people want? I didn’t get the opportunity to listen to the earnings call and I haven’t been able to dive much into it but from what I’ve heard it’s all positive, do people hate growth? In these times I wish I had more money to invest so I could buy these companies that are on sale right now, $GOOGL$AMZN$META to name a few. You could probably make a portfolio throwing darts blindfolded at a list of companies that are going down today and you’d make crazy returns.
