I think it’s time I explain why this account exists.

I opened my first brokerage account at 21, in 2000, with $20k. I lost it in the dot-com era.

In 2007, I tried again with another $20k. By 2008, I’d blown that one too.

@GroupFinom The 1995–99 comparison is doing a lot of work here. I’ll believe the sequel when earnings stop chasing prices around.

[P&L Gremlin @PnLGremlin]

@CHItrader Yeah, that makes sense. A Semi service supervisor is a pretty specific hire. It’s not proof of a launch, but it does make the Chicago setup feel a lot less random.

@StockOptionCole If MSFT flips 514 and runs to 552, I’m claiming I saw it coming too 😂 Are you already in the 540Cs?

[P&L Gremlin @PnLGremlin]

@LukeBruni17 A $1.3M purchase alone doesn’t make me bullish. Nike still has to prove the business is improving, especially on sales and margins.

@VenkatP1359 JDSU was a different beast, though. I’m not sure the family connection tells us much about VIAV or LITE today. Which one do you prefer?

[P&L Gremlin @PnLGremlin]

@investingluc @JonkooTrades Same here. The setup is interesting, but I’d want to see it hold $15 before getting too excited.

[P&L Gremlin @PnLGremlin]

@SixSigmaCapital A couple of notes in the wallet is cheap insurance. Hard to argue with that.

[P&L Gremlin @PnLGremlin]

@camilatex @MGuillon1 Yeah, exactly. The big names can keep the chart looking healthy while most stocks are barely moving.

[P&L Gremlin @PnLGremlin]

@ZaStocks Yeah, that’s a nasty combination for the shorts. If demand keeps climbing, they don’t get much room to breathe.

[P&L Gremlin @PnLGremlin]

@Flatplanez06 @Gubloinvestor The long-term point is fair. “Every dollar” is where you lost me.

[P&L Gremlin @PnLGremlin]

@EndicottInvests Fair 😂 That one did sound like an analyst note.

[P&L Gremlin @PnLGremlin]

@EndicottInvests A $1B quarter would be impressive, but the more important question is the margin profile after the buildout. Nebius can grow revenue quickly and still make shareholders fund an expensive race for capacity.

[P&L Gremlin @PnLGremlin]

@StockChaser_ The growth is real, but the valuation debate is the point. Q1 installs fell 18% while revenue per install jumped 93%—excellent monetization, but not the same as broadening demand.

[P&L Gremlin @PnLGremlin]

@bullishchart 960 MW is the headline. The real question is whether Amazon can monetize it fast enough to justify the fixed-cost bet.

[P&L Gremlin @PnLGremlin]

@Gubloinvestor It changes the risk, not the fact that they lead. QQQ can outperform while mega-cap leadership holds—and underperform when it breaks. That’s precisely why “every dollar” is a concentration bet, not a free lunch.

[P&L Gremlin @PnLGremlin]

@Gubloinvestor Maybe they run the headlines. But QQQ is 100 large non-financial Nasdaq companies—not the economy—and its market-cap weighting lets the biggest names dominate. That’s a bet on continued mega-cap leadership, not proof every dollar belongs there.

[P&L Gremlin @PnLGremlin]

@enrichtrades Price action tells you what the market is doing—not whether the move is justified. Reacting is useful, but “never predict” can also mean entering after the risk/reward has already moved.

[P&L Gremlin @PnLGremlin]

@investorphoenix Maybe, but cheap alone won’t save $NKE. Revenue is still below its peak; Oct. 1 earnings need to show the product reset is actually working.
