Up 130% 3MTD, not worth

Legendary-Lemon

Bols are really living in a fantasy. SPY is down MTD. We’re no longer in April/May bull market, get over it.

Fit_Combination6988

MSFT down %30 MTD lol

MitchCurry

\-30% MTD?? What are you invested in?

sociallydeclined

Days like these it feels good to know you have a job or income coming in to offset your MTD -30% folio Also makes you want to be a perma boglehead

vanceraa

up 186% MTD and I don’t even feel anything but if I lost 10% i’d be long $ROPE

Gnreux

MTD is pretty crazy

SGOV_Iron_Condor

Ok bud you too. Btw my MTD gains are 6x your entire portfolio 😉

segfaul_t

Month's almost over, SP500 is up 4.10% MTD. Maybe next month?

MTD was lots of gain Yeah YTD I prefer to not look at it

>”When you can get the results by just selling the stock?” That’s a big assumption… ask yourself when your position is up 150% 1 YR and up 10% MTD are you going to sell? How much do you sell? Dividends value is not just the dollar amount but the relative stability of the payout and cadence. Plus the company’s value can still grow as well as the dividend payout. What you are espousing is the dividend irrelevance theory but just like traditional economics who don’t factor in human behavior, so too do people who fail to understand human behavior when you have a winner that keeps winning.

Appreciate the skepticism, but I think the dilution concern is overstated for this specific setup. They have $54.5M cash with runway to mid-2027. R&D is running ~$7M/quarter, so they're not going to be forced into a raise anytime soon. And the timing matters here. If CTIM-76 Phase 1a data in June is positive, the stock reprices and any future raise happens at a much higher price, meaning significantly less dilution per dollar. Raising at $5 is half the dilution of raising at $2.50. Also worth noting that FDA Fast Track opens the door to partnership and licensing deals, which is non-dilutive capital. That's part of why Fast Track matters beyond just the regulatory speed. And there's already early signal from the trial. 12 patients enrolled, preliminary RECIST responses in Cohort 3, no DLTs, MTD not reached. This isn't pure speculation. "Cash demand increases in later stages" is true for every pre-revenue biotech. The question is whether the catalyst setup justifies the risk. 3 readouts in 5 months with institutional backing (Soleus at 7.6%) suggests the risk/reward is actually pretty compelling at $2.39.

GFS up 50% MTD and no one is talking about it

Overflow0X

It's okay. I lost 34k MTD, with that also lost my job. Can always be worse.

Moist_Inevitable738

I have made a lot of money on LEAPS but the ups and downs are pretty intense, e.g. MTD I'm up 60%. I would say it's risky and requires a strong stomach and some active management but is not out and out degen gambling.

Larsmeatdragon

Yep he has the corrosive touch. Down 14% MTD and 1.82% today.

fiercedeitysponce

Long time lurker first time player. No life savings or emergency fund to yolo but small handful I scrounged together I wouldn’t be sad about losing. Tried buying boring stocks and avoiding options as suggested here for a while and kept losing money but only a little bit. Got bored. Started doing $SPY 0DTE’s. +23.84% today, +46.77% MTD, nothing interesting before that. Today did calls 1x puts 2x, showed a -80% for a little bit but then I simply closed the app and let those limit sell emails roll in. Not even enough for a full grocery trip but I’m having fun and that’s what it’s all about, right? Cash account, positions closed, ready to make it at least -50% tomorrow. Also I have no idea what I’m doing. I never really internalized anything that wasn’t a meme.

SovietPower777

I'm 7.54% MTD, feel not so bad cause I could have lost 15% of portfolio if I didn't sell my shares

ch0c0l8cake

Dropped 20% already MTD. Lower revenue was already priced in and more infinite kitchens this year. They also introduced a wrap for lunch goers to get food on the go.

knightsone43

“Smart way” and 70% MTD don’t belong in the same sentence lol

InevitableAd2436

You legit might be the smartest person in this sub with the highest returns MTD at this point.

Thank you my -10% MTD doesn’t feel as bad now.

Far from it, still green MTD, 6 Months, 1 year, nothing has happened.

devilwithin305

Appreciate the perspective, but I think we’re talking about different problems. I’m not building a trading system or a seasonal climate forecast shop. The core use case is month-in-progress HDD/CDD nowcasting for existing exposure: “as of day t, what’s the distribution of the month-end index and the $ impact,” plus an audit trail/backtest. That gets materially easier as the month progresses because half the month is already observed. Also, “95% accurate” depends entirely on the metric. For risk, the standard is usually calibration and coverage (does the 90% interval contain the realized settlement ~90% of the time), and improvement vs a simple baseline (MTD + climatology remaining), broken down by lead time. Totally agree that long-horizon seasonal prediction is expensive and specialized. That’s not what this product is trying to do.

MTD we are down quite a lot on SPY, I wouldn’t call that bounce a Santa rally. But I am happy that we didn’t go further down .

SPY red today but my port up +0.05% (down 5% MTD). DM to buy my course

babarock

Not sure where your money is but I was only down 0.12% today and 0.45% MTD.

terrybmw335

Yes I think it may have evolved to MTD over the years. The last few scopes have shown less inflammation of the cords. Andone of my cords remains lazy, only closes 30-40% and the other one over compensates. But at least with the foasam gargle I don't get the throat burning. So can't complain.

Bhoptriple

Your speaking issue sounds more like MTD but I saw you said your scopes they were inflamed so maybe not

LayerClear5664

S&P 500 down today, port up 0.3% today, down 20% MTD. DM to buy my course today

Lonely_Reveal5368

I stick with ETF’s and just DCA into them every paycheck. I’ll buy the highs and lows over time. I don’t pretend to think I’m a genius stock picker, today’s winners could be tomorrow’s losers. But dude if I had started at 19, whew! That said, look at the market overall. A lot is down MTD but if you’re buying for the next 30 years it probably won’t much matter what happened this month

userusery24

Where we at folks? -$56k MTD so far bb.

LatvianPandaArmada

.88% over the past month. MTD around 11%.

genericusername784

I have a few calls out for a few months, but other than that, its been 2-3dte puts at this rate. I've still somehow managed to lose money, because everytime I win I buy shares of something. Which also currently keep dropping. My MTD line, literally looks like a red headed step child's feelings.

Tanpopomon

I was up 30% MTD, now I'm only up 3% MTD. Fuck this.

ToBeAndEatYourCake

I would put the fraud allegations at a 20% chance of being true, but 50% chance of passing the MTD stage (motion to dismiss). I think the price already reflects close to that. If it hits 60, I would say it's a buy the dip situation. I'm obviously long the stock tho so DYOR

AlienSweetPotato

Still up MTD 💰

babarock

Stay calm and carry on. I'm retired and have a diversified dividend growth portfolio. Was Friday ugly? sure. Did I sell everything? absolutely not in fact I bought additional shares in about 30 holdings where the price had dropped and I was underweight. Rolled a couple of covered calls out and up too. Down about 2% on Friday but only about -1.4% MTD and still up 10% for the year. Looking this weekend at opportunities to consider on Monday and there are plenty.

Prax150

Aaaannnd there go all my MTD gains.

Up 100% MTD already

Ok-Reality-7761

True. Maybe you misunderstood. I listen to CNBC, love the banter directed at JB. He is occasionally self-deprecating regarding his size (endearing), but comes off as smug sometimes when addressing retail traders. I just saw the setup and took it. However, note that this is an options sub. A 2x on a year hold is what a competent trader can do with leverage. OP was in violation of rules. That alone was a big bus driving down the street, honking a horn - that wrote its own comment. It's why I posted my first comment ahead of any JB joke. Agreed, 2x is great. It's what I booked MTD on a spec portfolio. Analogy to JB, he'd say "kids, don't try this at home" or such condescending crap.

Ok-Reality-7761

Nice gains, mate. About 49% MTD. I'm at 41.3% on 6 trades closed MTD with Sharpe above 2. My monthly target is 41.4%, taking a $2k speculative portfolio ($ willing to put at-risk) to $1M in 18 months. I ll likely coast the rest of the month, else risk overtrading. My previous best was 5 months of 64 trades closed at 100% WR. I'm a retired EE with 7 figure net worth, so for me, my trading is akin to buying the weekly two dollar lotto ticket for fun, keeps me mentally engaged. If I can document that journey, with verifieds on kinfo it's like Lindbergh-Paris 2.0 taking "free checking" to a far greater reward. His was an eventuality, if not him - someone. Same with 2.0. A couple of things. Why gains characterized on platform as long term only? I would think it is short-term in IRS parlance. Unsure if maybe that's automatic given Roth status. Speaking of IRS, keep some winnings set aside for taxes should you venture outside of a tax advantaged account like this Roth. Trading same strat on custodial Roth for son? Unwise taking on heavy risk for him, his horizon is long. However, if you do hit $M, set up a trust for him to comp him on your risk-taking. Going live on new strat w/o paper first is bold, but definitely ingrains lessons learned. If I may suggest, look to the stats of a consistent methodology and stay within the Gaussian as best you can if you want to make forward projections to $1M, $10M. Good luck to you (and your son).

>bounce is purely speculation Ummmm oil is up 30% MTD. That's more than a bounce when you're talking about commodities, especially something as critical as oil. >we are overstocked with oil as it is No, we're not. The SPR sits at a shade above 400 million barrels, and the US consumes just over 20 mbpd. As far as safety stock goes, that's 20 days of pure consumption. Compare that to the peak when the SPR was at 707 million barrels and the US consumed 19 mbpd and you get 37 days of safety stock. Globally, we only add between 0.4-0.8 mbpd daily. No, [I'm not kidding. ](https://www.eia.gov/outlooks/steo/report/global_oil.php)The world runs best when oil supply and demand are in balance. Cutting off an area that has a daily throughput of 20 mbpd (\~20% of global consumption) becomes a major problem very quickly.

creemeeseason

MTD getting to a level where their buyback program will become really effective. Really drawing my curiosity is the low beta, high ROE names. CSU, BRO, AZO.....so easy to hold through volatility because they don't get much of it. However, they're all amazing compounders long term.

Contrarian_1

From the Briefing: SPY-6% MTD, 11% from peak Will it fall enough to enter a bear market? That would require it to drop to 4918 from its current level of 5524 Could happen. Probably won’t happen today This week? If things get ugly enough?

riverfeenix12

311 is a reggae band. Kinda like sublime. #311 on the sp500 is Mettler Toledo international. MTD ticker. They're at a 6 months low and a 1 year low. Surely they will go up since they are low. I don't know or care what they do.

My weed motivated to dig into MARAs 10K. Did you read that shit? Fairy Dust FASB covered up their 149m loss. And bitcoin doesn’t go up at the moment. For that „you need willing buyers who buy at market rates“. MTD these dont exists. Its downward pressure even. Plus halving will increase costs by 50%. MARA is a half dead fish with a large BTC holding. Oh and tesleeer will absolutely sell their btc to cover up that „shits on fire yo“

pramttl

yeah, pretty disappointed by the recent administrative decisions and rhetoric that alienates international trade allies. Especially with how these tariffs are being implemented and pettiness in dealing with international communication and shaming of international leaders, instead of mature communication. Foreign buying of American products is already starting to take a hit and that will no doubt have a ripple effect on the US economy. If the administration puts tariffs on N countries (and is arrogant about it, to make it worse), those N countries would likely put tariffs back on the US -- the question is who loses the most? Supply chains that American industries depend on would begin to take a hit. Being most invested in US equities I am concerned about the negative effects of this tariff policy on the US economy, disappointed lately with how the US markets have performed YTD and this bad tariffs policy implementation. EU and China markets are already far outperforming the US market YTD (are well in the green), while the US markets are in red MTD, YTD.

TL/DR if you own 2000 stocks at a dollar a share and the share multiplies by 10, is 27k your profit? I asked my dad, the percentage is based on the amount your stocks went up not the entirety. She said she bought them last month. I looked at the graph or whatever you guys call it, i'm sure theres a fancy word for it, and it was a $1.30 a share MTD. It was $10.60 up until today where it fell 30%. My dad is opening a day trading account for me to help me out financially and said hell give me a week to study on the basics. I asked gpt where I can learn how to trade and amongst its many recommendations, was this thread. From the little I've heard and read about the market, the system is based on human thought, which ties into emotion, hence its unpredictability at times. Would you guys reccommend keeping up with new legislation passed through congress while simultaneously investing in goverment funded companies, or sticking to the safer side and going with bigger companies. I have a moral stand with investing in BlackRock for example, from what I heard online, they buy up homes from under citizens in cash at a 30% higher rate and unmatchable interest rates.

Life-Big1334

QQQ up +1% MTD and +12% YTD. Forward PE stretched but nowhere near overbought overall. I expect a redistribution in the mag 7 and pump in META, GOOGL and AMZN along with a general increase in the Q. Probably 5-8% more to go EOY in QQQ

Up $134k MTD. It’s just pixels on a screen.

OAO21

First off, congratulations, I know posts like this are usually met with some skepticism but ignore that. 630k is a huge accomplishment that can’t be understated. That being said, if I were you I’d move most of my portfolio into an S&P index fund or something of the like. I’d look for something that’s geared towards long term steady growth. Which I know goes against the point of a sub like this but hey I view penny stocks as more fund that wealth building. 600k is a really good nest egg that can set you up for the future. You’re either an insanely talented trader or you got lucky. In this business, it doesn’t matter what it is, all that matters is you have the money. If you think you’re a good trader, keep 30k to trade with still. Maybe you get a lot more out of it and it still puts you up 5k MTD. I personally would just set it in something that grows slowly and semi consistently. You know first hands the risks and with a portfolio like this you can put all that behind you and relax with a semi-secure future. TLDR: go into set and forget mode and enjoy life. Maybe use a small percentage to have fun with.

\[Preliminary sorry for the novel of a comment, feel free to read it or not, and thanks for the rare "yeah, I get where you're coming from" kind of a response.\] On the 11th and 10th, I noticed EVGO dropping, so I bought into it as it did, to the tune of 71 shares @ $471. I bought until it dropped because I read the news and it didn't seem like a reasonable reason for dropping. It swiftly rose up, but I didn't have the patience to use settled funds and I'm not risky enough to use a margin account, so I had to wait until the 5th and 6th to sell them. Ended up with $541. Happily walked away with \~$1 for each share I purchased. I don't know anything about EVGO. I honestly don't care to know anything about it. I saw it was a popular stock and that it was dropping, so I bought in. When it made money, I sold. Then I moved on. I don't have a single share of EVGO right now and I couldn't care less if it went up to $100. I made my profit, and for all I know it could have dropped to $2. I bought in when it was cheap and I exited when it was profitable. That's my main concern. If I fail to do that, I mostly just lose money. Same thing with PRTG right now. I bought this ticker because it has "Biotech" in the name. I don't know anything about the particulars. I looked up [their website](https://ir.portagebiotech.com/) and it literally looks like a ticker designed to attract investors. I don't care. I care that it looks like something that might take off. So, I put in orders for it, for a lot cheaper than they're worth. *Sometimes* they go through. There aren't a lot of people trading it. I accumulate shares for less than they're selling. Then I hold them. I try to do it very sparingly and only for the cheapest prices. Then, I act as a gatekeeper to people who think "oh gee this PRTG ticker might be a good investment!" and do something stupid like buy 50 shares at market, thinking that each share will be worth the advertised price, only to find my sell orders for progressively cheaper prices kicking in. That happened this week finally. Over half my shares were sold. I'm up $60 on that ticker, based merely on its fluctuations. It has not gone up in profit since I first bought in. And if it happens again tomorrow and all of my shares get sold off for a measly 30¢ a pop, I'll say "great!" and redistribute the sales money in tickers that seem due for an upswing. I've already profited from the money I've put in - if I can take that profit and stick it elsewhere that's more likely to bear fruit than this spot that just bore fruit, then I should do that. Sometimes that means buying right back into *SMALL* shares of a ticker that you think is still going to go up further. Profit while you can. Profit before it becomes a debt. Buy in only if you think it's currently a debt to everyone else. But only buy in very small chunks relative to your portfolio's value. My goal, at least, is to constantly keep my portfolio "breathing" in and out. It "breathes in" when I convert $$$ into # of shares. It "breathes out" when I convert # of shares into more $$$ than I first threw in. It "coughs and sputters" when I convert # of shares into less $$$ than I started with. Sometimes it's necessary, though, to stem the bleeding. It "dies" when I put all of my eggs in very few baskets and the baskets turn out to be rotten. I'm up another $60 on FLWS, for much the same reason. I stubbornly buy for cheap and then I insist on selling at a minimum profit. This is all just MTD. Yes, those are "optimal scenarios" with less-likely tickers, but I do the same exact thing with AAPL, MSFT, etc. I do the same exact thing with VOO and SPX. I very happily sell off all of my fractional SPX shares or whatever else once I see a 5% profit on them individually. Better that than losing the money I could have made when it takes a downturn. I do it in fractions of shares for the high price items because I'm not wealthy enough to buy $500 shares in anything :D. I'm always tossing < $15 at things at a time. I'm almost up $1000 in the last 2 months, and I'll just keep doing it. Some of my tickers have really taken a digger, too. My portfolio says -$600 but I'm at $15k money actually invested and it's up to $15.4k. I interpret that as being "stock rich." I have a lot of shares, but they aren't worth much. Still, I have a lot more shares than I did before this venture, and they *could* turn into more money. A lot of them, I've fully justified by betting on them and taken in profits based on the mere fact that I own them. And I'm still in the green - I'm still playing on winnings. Unless I don't see any signs of life from them for a long amount of time, I'll hold until they become minimally profitable, then buy back into things that I think are more likely to be profitable in the short term at the time of purchase.

I actually did well and own 2/3 of the names I threw out last time! ODD- cosmetics company out of Israel that's investing a lot in development and AI. They're building out a platform to develop cosmetics, as well as their own lines. CHCI- real estate development company with investment from the founder/CEO of NVR. Asset light and solid growth. TRNS- I like this one, barring the valuation being high. They do calibration and laboratory instrument servicing. Like a small version of an MTD.

We've had 15 trading days in August, and 9 of those day have been positive. We are currently up 1.78% MTD, which beats every single month average on your little charty-chart. Not saying that it will continue for the remainder of the month...but the premise of your question is a little silly given the context of the 22nd of August in 2024.

SinceSevenTenEleven

I used to work for an S&P 500 company that allows buying and selling of fractional shares. However, when I put cash aside to take advantage of the employee stock purchase plan (which offered a 10% discount to the going price), the third party vendor would only make a purchase when I could afford a full share. I accumulated 12 shares at ~$70 (discounted from $78) this way. If my company was like yours and allowed shares to appreciate to >$2000, I would never have been able to make a purchase. The money I put aside would have done nothing. I'm not sure how Google's stock purchase plan works but this is one reason to do a stock split: offer liquidity to individuals who only trade in integer amounts. It can also help keep bid/ask spreads under control which is a problem if you want to buy BRK/A, for example. Beyond that, it mostly drives hype and keeps numbers aligned with what "everyone else" is doing. I personally don't really care about such games. I hold three shares of MTD and one share of AZO and I'm very happy with both. Not much gains in either since I'm new but it is what it is.

Nice to see EVVTY bounce, and on 3x recent volume too. Still think the company is a steal at these levels. Sub 20x earnings for one of the most efficient companies out there. I think this lawsuit, like previous ones will be nothing but a buying opportunity. I also think third slight margin compression will be resolved as they invested a lot in new hiring and they're not seeing the results from that yet. Really taking a liking to NU recently too, which looks to be consolidating. This one seems to have some risk, but still huge upside if it plays out. TRNS getting closer to it's $120 support today. Another one I think is just quietly become a compounder that no one follows. It's priced comparable to MTD, the closest comp I could find, but with a higher growth trajectory. ASPN holding up well too, but not going up further which is giving me lots.of.time.to learn about aerogel (which is fascinating).

That's their actual MTD increase. Don't have to expect it because it happened.

A few interesting names I was reading about over the long weekend: PLPC- maker of power line equipment. They fell off a lot after a pandemic boom, but appear to be bottoming and putting out some new products. If they grow again, the stock seems really cheap. TRNS- this is one I've talked about before, they distribute and service lab test equipment. I think this is an awesome growth area. Optically, this one looks expensive, however they do a lot of acquisition which can mess with things. Also, this is an industry that has pretty high valuation, look at MTD a larger player with less growth is trading at 40x earnings. ASPN- another energy infrastructure play, they make aerogel insulation for electrical infrastructure. This was a 2021 darling that fell big, bit is really showing promise now that it's come back to earth.

MTD earnings: Q1 adjusted EPS $8.89, consensus $7.64 Q1 revenue $925.9M, consensus $879.72M. Patrick Kaltenbach, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "Our first quarter results were much better than expected, although we continued to face reduced market demand, especially in China, versus the prior year. We also substantially recovered our previously disclosed delayed product shipments from the fourth quarter of 2023, slightly better than forecast. Strong execution of our productivity and cost savings initiatives offset significant foreign exchange headwinds and resulted in modest Adjusted EPS growth in the quarter."

1) People hedge with 0DTE options, those have less effect of the VIX. 2) What do you mean? VIX rose up by 2.4 points in the last week. That's And by 4.5 points MTD. Stuffs going down, but there is no panik, and VIX reflects that.
