    Buy ACIC instead*. Merging with archer who is also making air taxis and I know one of the archer guys.

    They’re nearly worthless at market open. They’re still good for a month, so I’ll probably just hold and hope for some recovery.

    I’m not a conspiracy guy by any means and I can’t wrap my head on what the strategy would be but there would certainly be a PR issue if they came out today and said the winter storm was the best thing to ever happen to them

    NRG is absolutely fucked if VST lost this much money.

    I bought 4 shares of PENN on Monday I believe and told my wife that they're the company that bought BarStool. She loves the pizza reviews and was supportive. She just texted me asking if I could, "buy 1 more stock", and brought up investment properties (lolno).

    What I'm trying to say is, if you want to help get your wife to stop spending money on dumb stuff, buy a few shares in a stock she cares about, but can't spend money on to 'support'.

    I loaded up when it hit 108 this week. Portnoy said this morning he’ll have an announcement that will “shake Wall Street” next week. I’m tempted to sell and take my profits, but I’m going to hold and see what he has. Plus, March Madness will give it a bump too.

    I would like to load up more, but I took $4,500 off Schwabb and bought BTC. Wife said I can transfer over 10k to Schwab from her business account to buy PENN with. It'll still take a few days to move over though.

    Do you have a link to Portnoy? I want to send it to her.

    they just don't understand. the flaw of Robinhood users & Portnoy is they thought they were doing biz with a "tech disruptor" and not a B/D that is under the same regs as Schwab, Fido, Vanguard etc, though with considerably less resources/experience in these matters ...

    Yeah, he honestly controls how people view the stock, but I think he’s a good investment. As long as he stays away from criminal activity, he’s going to make PENN money.
    Also, I assume he’s going to buy SCR and take the Canadian gambling market, but who knows.

    I like Robinhood. It’s very easy to use with a clean UI. I get that everyone is mad about stopping the meme stocks but it’s easily the most user friendly way to accumulate shares imo

    i think if you have some market experience and simply like the platform that is great, but i also think a large portion of their userbase (being newer investors most likely) didn't quite understand that while the front-of-house feels different, the back-of-house isn't anything new or exciting compared to the bigger shops. a guy like Portnoy i don't believe has any clue what he'd be getting in to, if indeed he thinks he can develop a competing platform ...

    I just like that I can have money available immediately and it’s the only place I can figure out the trailing stop loss. I’ve been using webull for things that I want to look at actual volume to see what’s happening. I’m probably going to transition there once I get more comfortable with it

    I don’t like the schwab app at all but it’s the only place I can go wild with the pennies

    Yep. I also imagine he’s had extensive counseling/coaching from PENN legal about things he cannot say or do with regard to the stock market. I also don’t think PENN would have any desire to wade into B/D world.

    What would they not be a fan of? I really don't want this to turn into some barstool discussion either but I'm genuinely curious as Dave is the only reason the stock is at $116 today.
