I honestly just think you're making really bad financial decisions. Not trying to be an ass, but you do realize you're losing money in the account that largely (albeit not entirely) negates your distributions, right?

If you got 60% but your account dropped 47%, you only gained 13% in a year in which S&P500 jumped 28%.

I honestly just hope you're not being scammed. Best of luck to you.

With CONY it’s showing a 47.5% loss in NAV but a yield of 129.85%. So anyone correct my math. A $100k investment now has a value of $52.5k and received $129,850 in dividends. Dividends are taxed as ordinary income, based on Hog’s previous comment on dividend income assume a 24% tax rate, -$31,164. So the value in 2025 is now $151,186.

While an investment in VOO grew 26.77% and received a 1.22%. Now being worth $127,742.20. I reduced the dividend by 24%, but did nothing to the growth, since it would only be taxed when sold.

It’s an interesting investment.

I love you Hog. We can disagree.

I agree to not post about yield max ETFs if you’d keep us updated.

Anyone think Intel is a buy? Yeah, all the news is bad, but it seems like the crash is subsided.

I keep hearing it is a good candidate to take private. If that's the case, there is usually a premium. If not, you gotta think with all the assets, some sort of turnaround is incoming if they can unfuck themselves.

Can anyone give me the low down on NVIDIA? I don’t think I’m late here. I just know they are super niche and very good at what they do.

And not to be political, but Nancy Pelosi, the GOAT of stock gains, has loaded up on this one. It’s by far her largest holding.

Again not being political here but your portfolio has gains of 55% in 2024 I’m definitely gonna follow you
[Reply]

Did Pelosi load up on it recently?
[Reply]

The problem I have with following someone like Pelosi is she most likely has inside information. Second, if you’re following, you’re already behind.

I still like Nvidia, although I think their growth won’t be as high as it’s been over the last few years. I’m not sure that they will crash though, so dollar cost averaging into the stock may be a good idea.

I’m a firm believer that most people don’t have the time or knowledge to research and hand pick stocks, and therefore would be better off buying an index fund.

I think I'd hesitate to get in as far as it's run up.

The PE ratio is 59.10. The earnings growth would have to be astronomical to support that.

That being said, it could run a hell of a lot longer.

Part of me wants to set up the account that automatically mirrors her trading and throw 5k into it just for the laughs.

Let's hope the Fed has some better news than is being projected..

I’ve had similar thoughts. Those people clearly know more than we do.

Didn’t they have a mass sell off right before COVID lockdowns?
[Reply]

Yeah dude. The Nancy Pelosi Stock Trader account on X made an app called autopilot that shows their holdings and it’s free.

So far I see Crenshaw with 42% 1 year gains, Pelosi with 55% 1 year gains and surprisingly the Schultz Rep from Florida is up 63% (!!!) 1 year gains

Does it track longer than a year. I’m interested in 3,5, and 10.

How old are you, if you don't mind me asking?
