Watch MI-5 S2.E4 ∙ Blood & Money

"After stealing a large amount of money from a bank a man is found Crucified on the moors. The treasury call in the team to investigate but when Harry decides to take the mission further, Danny's life is put in danger." We're re-bingeing all of MI-5 for the third or fourth time and we watched this Ep last night. It's all you'll ever need to know about stock trades. In the UK, even.

All right veteran Wall Streeters, here's my scenario...
Chris ColemanAdmin • 02/17/25 02:07 PM ET
Did you sell before ER day?
HokieAl • 02/20/25 08:40 AM ET
Oh look, a big post-lunch rally.
Chris ColemanAdmin • 02/20/25 12:56 PM ET
haha congrats. I can tell from your posts that you are viewing this as
HokieAl • 02/20/25 01:03 PM ET
Ignoring taxes and transaction costs
HokieDelNorte • 02/20/25 01:24 PM ET
And timing the market. Doing that off an earnings call is nothing
IV_Hokie12 • 02/20/25 02:56 PM ET
Very true
HokieAl • 02/20/25 01:33 PM ET
Good points, thanks.**
Chris ColemanAdmin • 02/20/25 01:04 PM ET
Well you have the most important part of investing down. Not getting too
IV_Hokie12 • 02/20/25 12:58 PM ET
Nope, didn't sell.
Chris ColemanAdmin • 02/20/25 09:43 AM ET
My advice...

Bulls make money. Bears make money. Pigs get slaughtered. **

Taking profits vs letting a winner run is always a tough decision **

never a bad time to make a profit.**
BobG • 02/17/25 03:56 PM ET
So when I first started and had a big gainer,I'd take my initial investment
UTPr0sim • 02/17/25 03:54 PM ET
You should put a “Stop Loss” order under all of the stock. It takes the emo
dolph • 02/17/25 03:42 PM ET
So a little more on Nebius.
Chris ColemanAdmin • 02/17/25 03:07 PM ET
There is a Russian component to this story?
HokieAl • 02/17/25 03:21 PM ET
Yes, it is heavily tied in to AI, so it crashed with NVIDIA
Chris ColemanAdmin • 02/17/25 03:27 PM ET
Replace the term, "investment" with "gambling"
TechHokie13 • 02/17/25 02:49 PM ET
If the goal is just to make a quick profit and get out, then you are
Tafkam Hokie • 02/18/25 08:17 AM ET
That's the thing...I don't know.
Chris ColemanAdmin • 02/18/25 09:00 AM ET
Lol, the last time I gambled...
Chris ColemanAdmin • 02/17/25 02:53 PM ET
Gotta love the gamblers fallacy **
IV_Hokie12 • 02/17/25 04:23 PM ET
Bru. Tal. 😂
TechHokie13 • 02/17/25 03:16 PM ET
Of course, you all missed the most obvious answer here...
Chris ColemanAdmin • 02/17/25 02:45 PM ET
My dad used to say about stocks: “pigs get fat, hogs get slaughtered.”
vatechcowpatty • 02/17/25 02:57 PM ET
I'm going to try that line on my wife at some point and see how it goes.

Love the phone.**

Had one assigned to me by company
tallahasseehokie • 02/18/25 05:31 PM ET
I used to think those OG Motorola phones were so cool! Of course, I was 13.**
NokieHokie • 02/17/25 10:01 PM ET
Ordinary Income vs. Capital Gains is a Consideration
Hank78 • 02/17/25 02:36 PM ET
My first thought, hold it for a year. and, of course, don't look at it...
`lag • 02/17/25 03:01 PM ET
Whenever I sell it, the cash will stay in a money market.
Chris ColemanAdmin • 02/17/25 02:44 PM ET
What does TSL have for retirement benefits for you? Roth 401(k) or IRA?
beancounter77 • 02/17/25 05:08 PM ET
It doesn't make any difference when it comes to taxes.
EDGEMAN • 02/17/25 03:02 PM ET
Ah, ok. Thanks.**
Chris ColemanAdmin • 02/17/25 03:10 PM ET
I pay taxes on my mutual funds every year, and I haven't pulled anything...
EDGEMAN • 02/17/25 03:20 PM ET
realistically the tax impact is probably minor
HokieAl • 02/17/25 03:09 PM ET
Agreed.
Hank78 • 02/17/25 03:57 PM ET
First, ignore any price targets or articles
HokieAl • 02/17/25 02:31 PM ET
Selling
Mark3216 • 02/17/25 02:20 PM ET
Disclaimer: my stock advice sucks. But...
MP4VT2004 • 02/17/25 02:17 PM ET
The question is why is NVIDIA investing in them & is this the sole reason
Vtskier1 • 02/17/25 02:16 PM ET
Take profits but keep the initial value in the stock. **
ModerateHokie • 02/17/25 02:15 PM ET
Yep. Up ~40% - Sell 40% of stake - let the rest ride - house money.**
RTFC • 02/17/25 04:33 PM ET
This!**
All4VT • 02/17/25 03:07 PM ET
Also, to add onto that...
Chris ColemanAdmin • 02/17/25 02:12 PM ET
Are you willing to buy 4k or more?
IV_Hokie12 • 02/17/25 03:37 PM ET
I don't know what any of that means, haha.
Chris ColemanAdmin • 02/17/25 03:39 PM ET
don't sell options. You are too new to the game
HokieAl • 02/17/25 03:57 PM ET
So I probably wouldn't do that then, although maybe learn about it
IV_Hokie12 • 02/17/25 03:52 PM ET
Get to the risk/ reward- upside $700, downside $3300 if goes to zero**
Jwunderdog • 02/17/25 04:12 PM ET
Yeah, I'm not that much of a high roller, haha.**
Chris ColemanAdmin • 02/17/25 03:54 PM ET
I learned that earnings reports tend to be risky for holding onto...
MP4VT2004 • 02/17/25 02:19 PM ET
If it's money you can afford to lose then maybe let it ride....
