Re: Free talk Friday - 01.22.21
Very nice!
I actually bought Plug last March at around $3.50. Last week I finally sold it because it was just too crazy. That's the biggest winner I've ever had.
Cleveland Cliffs, a steel producer, is another one that I got last Summer that is really impressive. I love what their new CEO did in buying the American assets of Arcelor Mittal and divesting of many of their foreign holdings. They purchased AK Steel which had been a favorite of mine back in 2019.
XL Fleet is an interesting speculative play that I've been acquiring recently. It's a SPAC that went public recently and that model makes sense for what they do. XL Fleet takes existing vans and light truck fleets and converts them to different types of electric systems. That can anything from hybrid systems to plug in electric. They are working with Ford and GM specifically to expand across the country. Plug was great in getting large retailers to use hydrogen batteries for forklift and warehouse equipment. XL is taking is a step further to work on road work vehicles.
There are lots of interesting things to look at with in this melt up environment. You just have to know when to sell and not be so greedy that you are going to get burned. I've see way too many times when things go down a lot faster than they went up over the past 25 years.

Not as good as you with the Packers. I'm really looking forward to that game. The Packers offense is about as good as you can get right now. I love the depth at RB. You legitimately go 3 deep at that position. I also have a soft spot for Zadarius Smith given what he did as a Raven. Great times for the Packers fans. Enjoy the ride

Wow, $3.50 for Plug. That is crazy. It's over $60 now. I got is at around $10 in July. I definitely need to learn when to sell. Bought Solo at $3 and sold a shit ton of it at $6 and now it's at $8. I've seen what you mean about fast falls. I bought Arcturus Therapeutics $50 and six months later it was up to $125. In one week if fell to below what I paid. Thought about buying more then, but froze with indecision. Has climbed to $65 again, now.

Our old GM Ted Thompson died yesterday, very sad to hear that.

Re: Free talk Friday - 01.22.21
I am so you young guys are doing so well. Prior to my retirement (2009) I was quite aggressive when it came to investing. In 2007 I hit a level that satisfied the speculator in me, so I sold out. Yes, lock, stocks, and barrel. My wife asked, "Why did you do that when you were doing so well?" I replied, "I'm like a horse that won the race, why should I keep running?" We are living a grand retirement, even though there are investments that are tempting, but I'm sticking to my plan. I wish all of you the very best whether it comes to money, health, or happiness...
