@alojohhardcore@AndersMcKrensh I dont want to be lucky, I want to be certain that I can make money year over year! Most fail to see the difference! Luck vs skill!
Honestly, the moment you think of your trading / investment as a business, this question about tax goes away entirely.
Tax for a business is no different than a cost of doing business. You can't run a business without paying taxes.
I feel like if you are not locking in gains because you are afraid of taxes, it is no different than not shooting your game winning shot because you are afraid it won't go in.
It took me years to think differently.
I wonder how others think about this.
@jaysinjailagain Great point. It is also great if you are in consolidation phase and most of the time, stock is bouncing between the high and low of the day and range bound.
With commission free brokers like Robinhood, you can scalp using cash secured put and covered calls daily.
BofA dropped an interesting scenario for $MU Micron 👇
BofA applied SanDisk-style assumptions to Micron:
• 15%+ annual sales growth
• Sustained 80%+ gross margins
• 50%+ free cash flow margins
Under this “SNDK-like” model, MU’s FY30 numbers look very different from consensus:
Sales: $377B (vs consensus $280B)
EPS: $236 (vs consensus $136)
EPS CAGR FY26-30: 34% (vs 17%)
Consensus still models a classic memory peak-and-decline.
BofA’s scenario shows earnings power continuing to climb through 2030 if the high-margin structure holds.
Key takeaway: If AI demand + long-term contracts really change the old cyclical pattern, valuation multiples could expand from today’s low single digits toward AI-infra levels.
Not a prediction, just the math BofA is showing. Always do your own research. $SNDK #Semiconductors #AI
@alojohhardcore yep, it was a noise. until it breaks out of 930-950 region, i think it would be wise to continue buying at the low and selling the pop based on the corridor method.
