I watched from the sidelines. I'm a fundamentals guy, so I get the short squeeze, but I also get that every play has an end, and there are players bigger than me that really control things. At this point it is all gambling and hoping to out bluff the other guy. If I had more time to play with the discretionary fund it might be fun, but I'll stick to my low effort strategy. As am I....and there is not much 'value' in the market these days. Reason why most of my big wins are when stocks tank/go bankrupt.

should have held on to Chipotle...14x return over past 10 years. Hindsight and all. I've done okay by staying away from things that have valuations north of 100. Sure it makes sense if everyone agrees to the illusion, but there is no inherent value that makes a stock worth 150X it's earnings. At that point, the stock is a business in and of itself. It is separate from the underlying business and relies on marketing and perception rather than an actual balance sheet or P&L. Lots of very cool brands in the world, not many making money.

Note that I said that exact same thing when I sold out last year at $100 a share. Just checked this forum again after quite a while as I need to rollover a 401K & an IRA into another retirement acct. that I plan on managing myself. The IRA is small, so I thought I would utilize that portion in something approaching venture capital-type of investments...frankly, penny stocks. I remembered you had a few on your watch list and glanced over them again. So, if you are willing to discuss it, are congrats in order for investing in Arena Pharmaceutical or was your timing a little off or are you still holding it?!?

It is the only reason I'm not completely in the hole right now. My financial strategy consists of benign neglect. Aw, go ahead and take credit. I won't tell... On a related note, you guys are, like, way more paranoid than I am! It's not paranoia (at least on my part) as much as it is "once burned twice shy". If you lost over half of your net worth (including retirement money) overnight and then was forced to pay a whopping capital gains tax on the money that's no longer there, you'd be distrustful too.

Even better take it (or at least some of it) home in secret after finding a very good hiding place. I agree that physical possession is important. Don't trust a broker to make your sale fast enough to be in your best interest. They can and have sold their most important client's holdings first, which means that prices have dropped considerably by the time they get around to doing yours.
