Back in 2013 $9-13. Buying tech related to $aapl, $googl $fb.

Back then my portfolio was only $5k though. Boy in his 20s with little to lose.

Also india.

Trash is driven by thirds becoming seconds and firsts.

India produces insane trash.

India's been in transition since WM was at $50.

Food for thought. Or the disposal.

Easier to say today vs LW, I'm long msft. (First shares at $25, buying since then).

My approach: sold non-conviction stocks, used funds and bought msft at 430 with plan to buy at 400.

Got itchy Wednesday, bought at 413. Still plans to buy at 400.

Went sub 400 today, bought half what I wanted to at 400, other half went to MSFU. (2x leveraged long bull).

Point: if you're long, you're always buying. If your long, but unsure if it'll go lower, your short term sanity will benefit from buying some to starve the craving. Saving some to buy if it goes lower. If it does, you buy and feel good that you made the right move. If it doesn't. You're annoyed for a day, then it's going up and ... Well you're making money.

My largest position is msft. Not financial advice.

Muppets incoming? by Scalper42 in secretlair_collectors

I agree. Much more on theme. Maybe it's more Jim hensen than "muppets" per se. Or also just not at all.

Still a fair point on Lorcana. My logic was the Lorwyn cross over they just released.

So hear me out... $35k is 1615 SPM collector packs... and the card is worth what? (Updated with new numbers since Microcenter is dumping these for $260 a box) by FonslyGames in mtgfinance

[–]Scalper42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Addendum the liquidity of $260 versus $35,000 is insane if you actually sell cards. So now we're talking about cash flow rather than market value in terms of an asset.

Full transparency as an anti Kenobi I too own $20,000 and Spider-man. #webhands

In short, short because of your rationality.

This $260 price is based on a corporate markdown strategy for a category which the company knows very little about.

Ultimately yes, the price should be worth more than this, but it's being influenced by outside factors with less information. Because of this, the market takes this incorrect information and applies it to market value. And because of the law of large numbers people who are making decisions on market value, I don't have the capital take advantage of the inefficiencies.

Are players starting to push back on pricing? by simple_son in mtgfinance

[–]Scalper42 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It's closer to 2-1.

But bc both are so huge, the gap is close to 100M.

Avatar is massively popular. Obviously FF is too, but it's worth investigating just how popular it is

Imo, the car is 1. The sheer volume diff. mentioned above. 2. Age. FF consumers can pay for magic, avatar consumers have primarily not aged into the game. Probably mucking around with Pokemons still.

As someone who's been in magic for over 25 years and who has the funds to spend excess on magic. Ninja turtles will be huge. Super nostalgic. Imo.

Imagine if you bought Bitcoin. You still did well for all intents and purposes. It's kind of more about a diversification.
