I am not sure how this thread will fly. On my laptop, I have Windows 10. Every time Microsoft issues an update, the sound on Yahoo Finance and YouTube videos, and I am sure there are others, fails. I am tired of reloading speaker drivers and spending a few hours trying to fix it. I […]

TD Ameritrade to merge with Charles Schwab
I have accounts at TD Ameritrade and Fidelity and was disappointed with the news of the proposed merger of TD Ameritrade with Charles Schwab, TD’s website and trading platform, in my opinion, are excellent. I have never had any problems with my account or trading executions. I was wondering how others feel about this. If […]
They preface the brief clues with this ’We’ve found three well-known but unexpected companies that are building a lucrative future off today’s advances in artificial intelligence’. So I guess it will not be the obvious ones like Amazon AMZN or NVIDIA NVDA ’1. This familiar tech titan is using AI to open new windows of […]
A solution for payment of the wall
I have had it up to here with all this discussion about ’the wall’ . Here is my proposal: Why not have an assessment to pay for the wall. There are 15 million taxpayers that earn over $100,000 per year. An assessment of $400 each for taxpayers in this category times 15 million equals 6 […]

What Stocks Leon Cooperman Just Bought
Today I watched a CNBC video with famous investor Leon Cooperman as a guest. He was asked ’what is he buying?’. Two of the new names he mentioned were ”Monetize” a mobile wallet company, and ”Technique” an LNG construction company. They didn’t give the stock symbols, so I had to do some gumshoeing to figure […]

Hi Travis; Thank you for Fastly #FSLY another rocket that you bought in the Real Money Portfolio. I hope I am not putting the curse on it, but I purchased it on 4/20/2020 at $25.15 and today it is around $86.00 for a fantastic gain of 242% in a little over[...]

Words of wisdom from a twitter blog Pressure is a privilege. Don’t run from it. Don’t cling to a mistake just because you spent a lot of time making it. No one’s good at everything. Find your niche and excel.[...]

Wow Travis, you must be pinching yourself everyday. Now it's #IIVI up 20% in after hours trading. Last week it was #FSLY with a similar move. To go along with all your other momentum stocks, #TDOC up 8% today, #SHOP up almost 6%, #NVDA up 3 1/4% , and q[...]

hi Travis; I realize that #GAN will be listed any day now but wouldn't it be better to buy #GMMNF before the new listing hype. I checked the quote and there is no bid/ask price so it is probably too late for that move.[...]
