I've done really well this year. I have a okay grasp on the market, but in the end, I'm really just guessing like most. Disney is my favorite stock I own. It's expensive, but I think its the most sure thing. The parks, the future streaming platform, and the enormous movies this year that are coming out. I made an enormous mistake with Chewy. I had never participated in trying to get in on an IPO or purchasing shortly after the stock hits the secondary market. Their IPO price I believe was 23. I set an alert to buy as soon as it hit 23.01 so I could purchase ASAP. It opened at $36.60ish. I bought the same amount of shares I was planning on purchasing at 23, at 36. But to add to that, my X amount of shares got purchased in 3 different transactions. One at 36, one at 38, and the largest at 39.80. This was great for a couple minutes, but I've been sweating bullets for about 5 days now. Today it rallied big time. I think its a great long play - the growth is outstanding, but also, they're also losing ridiculous amounts of money. Maybe the extra cash on hand will help with margins somehow??? I should have bought more SONO when I did too.

Neither of my trading firms were allotted any shares.

I'm going to miss out on CHWY's IPO because of demand.

Hopefully some got in when I did. I still think they're a long term buy.

I've been basically been putting 5% of my net income into UNH stock since 2011. Then my retirement accounts are solely invested into PRHSX. The long way of saying yes. Very good.

I'm late to the party, but I'm jumping in on Disney tomorrow morning prior to Wednesday's earnings report. 2019 is going to be all Disney. Their movie lineup might have 4, 1 billion dollar makers. With that said, I really like Sonos products. I think their Ikea collaboration is going to be a big hit for the company. I'm going to make a smaller trade on them too. Outside of a quick hit with Nintendo a couple years ago, my portfolio is invested in biotech/pharma - UNH being my strongest holding. I'm going to try to diversify a bit here now.

What Marijuana stocks did/do you have Dave? I've gotten burnt on the ones I purchased. Low dollar amount, high reward type stuff, but still, burnt. Couple hundred here and they're worth pennies now.

Haha. Was Horatio the ORIGINAL meme? I'm glad a few people got the joke!

Kiefer Sutherland.... He's not quite as good as David Caruso, but yeah, he's okay.

Also, You're The Worst.... Its been on for 3 seasons now and I know no one who watches it beside me and my girlfriend, but every critic seems to love it? Samesies for Halt & Catch Fire.

Netflix man..... Their movie selection sucks, but their original tv content has been money. In The Get Down's case, 10 mil an episode...... It better be good. Thats Thrones money! They're on a roll. Stranger Things was a pretty big deal in that it was a viral tv show that every age group could watch. Speaking of Netflix movies, anyone catch Mascots yet? Also, for my money, Mr. Robot got to near Breaking Bad status for me this year. I think the consensus on the season 2 was: the first couple episodes were fairly bad and had too many M. Night plot twists, but if you trudged through the first couple eps, it became an intense roller coaster that I can only really compare to BB. I dunno. I like that USA Network is giving the creator tons of freedom with the show, but ultimately, Robot would play much better if you could binge straight through too.

In all honesty, if you enjoy pop culture, current events, or political banter, you should be watching it no matter what the age. My 60 year old parents started watching it this last year after reading on HuffPost that the creators of South Park had an extreme disdain for Donald Trump. They love it. Or errrr, at least they say they do?

People still watch primetime network tv? Kevin James? Lethal Weapon? Keifer Sutherland?..... Cripes. Seven pages and one mention of Atlanta? One mention of You're The Worst too? The Get Down..... No one mentions South Park at all? Seriously? If you haven't been watching South Park, the last season and a half have been insanely clever and extremely entertaining. Trey Parker is a visionary.

Nah. Harvoni isn't doing as well as they thought it would I guess. They have tons of cash. I think they might buy a small bio company like Achillion-ACHN. They're kinda where Apple is, which isn't a bad thing.

The stock I've done the best on since I've started trading is Gilead Sciences - GILD. I'm going to get back in sometime this week.
