FEMA did nothing during Katrina so after 5 days Bush had to fire the head of FEMA.

Dammit, just when I was ready to get current Generac pricing.

Maybe before the next freeze or flood.

You mentioned Generac here on Feb 15 during the Big Texas Freeze. After some study, on Feb 16 I bought some GNRC at about $350, and it's $453.75 now -- up 29.6%.

Thanks.

You must be loaded to buy 100 shares at that price. In the markets, shares sell in 100s. To buy odd lots they charge a premium. ;)

My wife has an on-line trading account. As far as I know, she can buy a single share of any stock without paying a premium. There's not even a transaction fee.

She's been beating the S&P 500 by a decent margin for the last 2-3 years. She thinks she's cool.

I think she's cool, also.

What's the name of her platform? thanks.

I should be able to lose my own $$$ without paying for the privilege of doing so.

E-Trade.

She follows some hotshot Yankee investment kid on YouTube (I can't listen to him; he talks 400 miles an hour), and gets some ideas from him. Also, one of our daughters is Lady Midas; everything she touches turns into money. She advises her mama, and it's usually good advice.

All that said, my wife has made a few poor choices. In the spring of 2020 she bought Carnival Cruise Lines on its way down. But it went WAY down, and hasn't come back up a lot yet. Maybe never will, what with the new world order and all. But she still refuses to sell??? She's heavy into some high performers, though, which more than offset the occasional blunder.

I'd be happy to tell y'all what she's buying (and selling) if you'd like. And the name of the YouTube kid.

I'm mostly in Texas Instruments (TXN), Microchip (MCHP), Generac (GNRC), and Marathon Petroleum (MPC). Thankfully, all have done well over the last year. And wife and I share some Walgreens (WBA), which I hate, but wife and daughter talked me in to it.

All that said, we're really just dabblers. Couldn't buy a house with what we have in E-Trade. A new truck, maybe -- but I NEVER buy new vehicles.

Same here, I bought AA American Airlines at +-17per, it has jumped to like 22 now and then, but lately more like 19, and BBBY Bed bath Beyond at 24, it jumped to 44 one time but fell again, wish I had ben paying attention but still could sell for more than what savings account pays.

When I buy stock, I spend about a week looking for big losers, and then look for what is trading below average for that stock, then see if they are being sued or indicted (lol), then buy crazy low shit with leftovers from big (100x) buy.

Interesting. Sued or indicted -- is that a buy signal? -- or a don't buy signal?

Generac is being class-action sued for securities fraud, but that doesn't seem to have hurt their stock price.

LOL, generally signals a sell off/price drop, I'm not sophisticated enough to predict long term, just try to buy cheap and get more than 2%.
