We really can't judge anyone on the performance of a single stock or trade unless they are successful over decades and even then I like to see it repeated with different stocks, much like Buffett.
These guys spit out so much "propaganda" to gather assets to manage for high fees, that I still don't trust them. I'm always reminded of Cramer getting PAID to give a big Keynote speech in early 2000 where he said there was no reason to own anything but 10 stocks he listed. I have the link somewhere and I believe 6 of the 10 went under, 2 were bought out and maybe 2 are still around. The total return would have been horrific yet I heard him last week on CNBC claim he made 30% for his hedge fund in 2000. He also gave in interview admitting how he could illegally manipulate stocks. There is a link to that video somewhere too. I wonder if he was pumping the 10 crap stocks while getting ready to bail... As long as he owned them at the time of his recommendation, his legal defense is "I changed my mind."
How much of Palantir's gain is political? Under the previous administration, the lefties here in the Bay Area were trying to get a boycott of Google/Alphabet unless they divested completely from government work and they wanted the same for Palantir. PLTR is hated now as I believe their software is used extensively by ICE... to track down targets for deportation. |

Your OKLO count was a spot-on bingo and you deserve all the plaudits!! Wow... OKLO has since backed off quite a bit. Any updates?
Also, if you would have a look at INOD and MDB?
Thank you! |

| To: Kirk © who wrote (26404) | 11/5/2025 1:25:58 PM | | From: Elroy | | | | What are the thoughts about COHR's report this afternoon? Good news, bad news, who knows?
I happen to be short $136 this Friday expiration covered calls. I'm thinking if COHR dips below $136 in afternoon trading today perhaps I'll buy some more, and then if the calls get exercised on Friday I've still got my shares.
But if COHR drops tomorrow, I'll be doubly long. What to do, what to do? |
