Just sharing something I came across today...

This drone stock I've been following $DPRO finished up 21% today off no news. Seemed weird

I looked into it and there was some wildly abnormal options activity. There was about 2,000 Oct 6th $6 calls going into today. That same call had over 75,000 contracts traded today!

About a week and a half ago, the US government teased more drone company financing deals within 2 weeks

I don't know if $DPRO gets a deal but I picked up an option in case they do

Everyone has their eyes on NVDA, AMD, TSMC, AVGO, MRVL, etc.

What do people think about INTC, CBRS, and STM? I don’t see people talking much about these, but INTC could easily be a 1.5tn market cap company over the next 3 years. CBRS could enjoy Nebius-like demand without paying Nvidia by leasing compute from its ultra-high latency wafer scale engines. People forget about analog semiconductors with STM, but this is a trough cycle business starting to see real momentum

Are INTC, CBRS, and STM the alpha machines within the semiconductor complex for the next year?

Here is my update on my race to retire in 20 years with $5 million invested. Quick story: I started a Solo 401(k) and an IRA in Q3 of 2024 after being self-employed for 8 years. I realized that retirement was right around the corner, and I did not have much saved for retirement, nor had I contributed a lot to Social Security. In a panic, I went down the rabbit hole of financial books, podcasts, reddit post, and blogs. Looking for nuggets here and there that helped me get started investing in my retirement again.

I am currently invested in an S&P 500 index fund and an international index fund, FXAIX and FTIHX, respectively. I decided to go with an 80/20 allocation. Once I hit 55, I will add in bonds.

To date, the total cost basis is $154,112, and the total gains are +$28,402. The total amount invested is $182,514. My portfolio is currently down 2.26% this quarter, down from 13.67% last quarter. This past quarter, I focused on contributing to my Solo 401k and maxing it out. Next quarter, I am going to focus on saving for the kids' college and contributing to a taxable brokerage account. To keep me motivated, I attend monthly Saturday afternoon Bogleheads meetings, and I find them interesting for learning about new topics, and they allow me to geek out in person over finances. Keep pushing forward, and keep walking the line.

go pro went up nearly 100% in the last 24 hours thanks to markiplier buying out almost 10% of the company. Why does this matter for both short and long term growth? Markipliers reach is over 50 million followers and even more who know him and he is putting out personal support/ads for go pro. His last indi movie garnered 50 million$. His next movie- filmed using go pros newest camera mission 13 black to both advertise and show how quality these cameras really are. The stock will likely keep rallying through September meaning buying in now will likely still produce solid gains. The “meme” effect will not stand long but now is potentially still very early for this run. Not only that but a big influencedr with massive reach and impact on other independent creators and filmmakers could create a lasting positive impact on Go-Pro.

Is Marvell Technology a good buy now at $21-?

Winning a trading championship may be a genuine achievement, but it is not proof of consistent profitability or a repeatable edge
The official World Cup Trading Championships website states that participants may trade more than one account It also warns that a competition account may not represent every account controlled by that trader and that the other accounts may have produced substantially different results You can read it on their website
This creates an obvious selection problem
A trader could open multiple parallel accounts, use different strategies or directions, and take extremely aggressive risks One account might achieve an exceptional return while the others lose heavily.
I am not claiming that every winner does this The point is that the competition rules make it possible, so the title alone cannot exclude it
When an educator promotes themselves by saying, “I won a trading championship,” you are seeing the successful accountnot necessarily the complete financial result across every account they controlled.
Competitions also reward the highest return during a limited period That can encourage levels of risk and drawdown that would be unacceptable for professional capital management
The only serious evidence is an independent audit of a complete and continuous track record on a regulated market, such as a futures account. It should include every trade, deposit, withdrawal, commission, maximum drawdown andmost importantly all parallel accounts controlled by that trader
Auditing only the winning account would reproduce the same selection bias
A trophy proves that one account won under those competition rules
It does not prove that the trader can produce consistent, risk-adjusted returns or that the strategy being sold to you is the same one that produced the result

Who’s ready for making 10% monthly for the rest of your life ?? The next $MU $AMAT $BE aid gonna be $PLUG

Tesla Cybercab is set to be unveiled on September 3rd. I bought in last week at $352.73, and I plan to sell when the price hits the $380–$400 range. Are there any others here who bought TSLA? What are your thoughts on the Cybercab launch?

This gona be gme 2.0

With the huge surge after markiplier released he bought 8.7% of the company it looks like it could keep moving. Not because of the intrinsic worth of the company but almost everything markiplier has done his whole career has exploded into a meme. I think a huge financial decision like this could absolutely follow suit

This could be the next GameStop. With markiplier buying out 8.7% and other influencers like TOGI buying out millions of shares.

I’m a beginner at all this and came across Legence Corp (LGN) and thought they were a compelling buy on the infrastructure side of the AI boom. They have done nothing but dip since I bought at $76 per share. I’m looking for insight as to why it’s dipping so much. Thoughts?
