I just cashed out some of my mutual funds which returned 400% in the last 10 years. I will be sailing around the world. I guess I don't regret having invested in CDs.
LOL!

Sally,
I am training hard to take you down in the Houston 5k. Afterwards I will help you move to your new doublewide in the rice low lands west of town, by the Brazos.

LOL. I would love the challenge. I would even pick you up at the airport and house you. I know you were pretty fast and would love for you to run with Flaggy and I at July 4.

Good one Seattle. Off to my morning run 3 x mile at tempo pace,
Have a good day.

Sounds like someone is training for an upcoming 5K?
In that case, 5 x 1000 is a good one, too.

Oh ... the market has been so great I am actually living in a triple-wide now.

Seattle and Sally,
Just messing around. I saw Sally had challenged Flagpole to a 5k in Houston. One of my former assistants teaches at Cinco Ranch, another is an administrator at La Porte ISD. Both suburbs of Houston if you are not familiar Seattle. I did a lot of recruiting and coaching in Houston during my previous life. As they say “God Bless Texas.”
I will be highly criticized for the following, but as runners you get it. I like that 5 x 1,000 workout, in the past ran it at faster than 5k race pace with 600m jog. I have made quite a bit of progress considering but still really pretty slow. This morning I ran 3 x mile tempo pace averaging 8:36 with two minute timed rest. Four months ago jogging 1,000 meters was tough.
Hope you gents are enjoying spring running.
Enjoy your Bull Market and hope your get rich beyond your imaginations.
Igy
Igy, progress is progress. Before you know it you will be cranking out those 5 x 1000s at a pace more suitable that you are accustomed to.
Thanks, Igy. Really glad to hear that your running has come so far.
And as for your hopes for me, well, in hindsight maybe i should have had a bigger imagination. LOL.
Sally,
Thanks plan to. Sill love to run and have decent wheels. So if all the rest stays quiet, well who knows.
I missed how you got into this Flagpole challenge.

Reference is to flooding. As in recent Houston flooding. A joke. Come on....

I think you will get some other shots. Always works that way.

I don't need any more shots at it. I'm thinking of cashing out when i reclaim my ATH, and I just need about 4% rise from here to get there.

Looks like you’ll get there. However MS made tactical changes to get more conservative.

Only you would think of this kind of behavior as a game. ??♀️
Big Tech earnings this week. Should be fun.

Should see solid beats. The narrative will be that companies are starting to rebound and the economy is picking back up. This is, of course, ignoring the fact that all those companies set the bar incredibly low last quarter. Anyone who does miss expectations, then God help them.
As for me, the market doesn't care about facts so neither do I! I'm long on options for several tech companies and long on NDX in general through futures contracts. Amazingly, oil has been a big winner for me as well. I've been long on oil since about 2 months ago and Donny's little sanction against Iran turned out to be a nice boost. Almost makes up for the amount of money I lost betting on a huge gold run up right before Brexit (god damn European Union prevented the catastrophe I needed by giving the UK a 6 month extension).
How's that PALL doing? Ok, checked and it looks about flat from when you brought it up, but some good upside along the way if you took profits at the right time.
Oil was a bad timed trade for me as it turns out. I unloaded natural gas companies at the end of the year in tax loss harvesting and they all rebounded really well with me on the sidelines.
But more fundamentally, I doubled down plus some on Tech and the Nasdaq at the end of they year when i bailed out of a good percentage of small caps (TNA- the leveraged stuff).
Netflix today sure looked good. And watching solid rise on the FANG stuff today sure looks like the market is placing their bets on good news out of them and Microsoft this week and next with their earnings. Read an article today how they are more attractive now than they were last year because their valuations are reportedly a bit lower and investors feel more comfortable piling in consequently.
