Made money today
My wife made me my favorite meal
Although the serving size is a bit less
Thank you $NIO Inc(NIO.US)$ for today's performance
I can finally stop eating fish

$Lucid Group(LCID.US)$ Lucid Air is a good car, pricey too and Peter Rawlinson is a competent CEO, he is no Elon Musk. And LCID is overvalued, beet of luck to them , the world needs to get off oil, my dough is on $Tesla(TSLA.US)$ all others are pretenders for the next 4 years,

$Palantir(PLTR.US)$ Too many value investors criticizing SBC. They don't realize that in tech, if you want to hire the best and brightest, you need to pay them in stocks. If you think that SBC is a problem then sell your shares and go buy something else. Pltr to the moon!

$AbbVie(ABBV.US)$ Upgraded to buy?
Seems a day late and a dollar short if you ask me.
I've held on to my shares of AbbVie ever since it was spun off Abbott Labs on 1/2/13.
I used to think 13 was a bad luck number, but now I'm not so sure.
AbbVie has done nothing but rise in price and raise its dividend ever since it was spun off Abbott Labs.
I received my AbbVie dividend check in the mail a few days ago.
When I saw it, I started to sing: "AbbVie, how I love you, how I love you, my dear old AbbVie."

$NVIDIA(NVDA.US)$ What is a reasonable multiple an investor should pay for potentially/probably the biggest economic growth potential in the history of humanity?

$Alibaba(BABA.US)$ As much as I understand a lot of investors are not always open to listen to arguments from the other lair (Bears Vs Bulls), it is mildly entertaining to see how much the market overreacts every time some news comes out. Bad or positive doesn’t matter. The stocks swing wildly up and down before settling on a market consensus. And never ever have I seen that the market reacts appropriately to some news. One can always earn money on these swings if you see it coming and prepare. Yes there is risk for BABA, but the company is still worth something and a lot less risky that many other companies so what is a fair price? Meanwhile $JD.com(JD.US)$ which is in the same business as BABA only smaller and has a slightly different business model (more similar to $Amazon(AMZN.US)$) is doing great. If the Chinese consumer spending is going down I don’t understand why only BABA should hurt, and if it’s not perhaps the fear of china’s version of state capitalism is blown out of proportions. I doubt anyone (China or the US) want to see BABA fail.

$SoFi Technologies(SOFI.US)$ Buying a financial company that makes no money. Wild.
You have to really be bad at what you are doing to not make money in the financial industry, saying that as someone involved. If you aren't making money it's because you don't know what you're doing.
The excuse people will want to give is that they are investing in technology. Technology for what? They aren't making money, so therefore technology isn't warranted. They need to understand what they actually do before expanding and doing anything else.
Willing to bet their investor base also has absolutely no understanding of what they're investing in.
