This is NOT a new account. Old one was just getting too cluttered with political, music & other interests besides investing.
Just going to drop this here to sum up my investment philosophy.
“Quality wins in the end.”
Hi All,
I’m going to put $100k into 20 Biotech stocks and just leave it alone.
A VC approach if you will. I know will be several losers but hope just a few winners will outweigh those greatly. We’ll see.
Looking for recommendations!

Thanks much in advance 🙏

Find the publicly traded P&C insurer with the largest exposure to Miami (and Tampa/St. Pete) real estate and short that.
Could be a short or long time to wait but it’s just a matter of time before a Cat 4 or 5 hurricane directly hits one of those places.
@gas_biz
Awesome & inspiring story 👍!
Don’t want to get political, but my experience has been that immigrants, like my wife, work their asses off, deal with discrimination & never give up.
They don’t “steal” jobs, they create wealth. Many ppl here take for granted been born on 3rd base
@shawngorham
@cajhomes
Why do you think that’s funny or inconsequential?
If I’m an LP committing my capital for ~7+ yrs, it’s a very legitimate concern.
Does climate change impacts EVER enter into your decision process?
If not, it should, “smart” GPs I’m invested with definitely take it into account.

, Roth IRAs.
I think I did a good job of educating them about spending less than earn, power of compounding, importance of education & getting a well paid job.
Anyway, WE match them 100% in their Roth IRAs to “encourage” them to work (mostly summer jobs now, they’re 18 & 20)
@Neil_X10
I’m short $TSLA and have made money shorting it in the past 😲.
Stripping away all the drama and the cult investors and purely looking at the fundamentals this stock is due for a major crash, imho.
Oh, Mama!
$AMAM getting bought out by $JNJ at 100% premium. I own it, anyone else?
And now rumors of $CYTK potentially being bought by Novartis. Own that one too.
…
$EXAI (+13.0%)
$MLTX (+7.9%)
$XERS (+7.8%)
$SDGR (+6.5%)
$PRME (+6.0%)
Laggards:
$GOVX (-7.2%)
$LCTX (-5.0%)
Only 4 other stocks down, all <1%.
Recall, half of capital tied up in ST TBill expires 12/19. Will reinvest proceeds then.
Welcome all feedback, both god and bad.🙏
@GrindeOptions
Huh, that’s frankly amazing.
I’m finalizing my financial goals and tightening up my investing strategy across the board for 2024.
One goal is to REALLY understand and implement options strategies like CSPs, CCs, and Rolf’s Credit Put Spreads.

@RolandParnaso
No major sovereign nation is EVER going to give up control of their own currency. That would be madness.
Especially the US, with the immense power that the $ provides them on the world stage.
El Salvador is NOT a world power, btw.
@BuilderMonk
Uhhh, no.
Not “running away” away from anything.
I love history & immersing myself in other cultures. Broadens your perspective & makes memories for a lifetime.
My wife & two teenage daughters would agree w/me.
My brother, the very definition of a “Townie” would agree w/you.
Made my 1st covered call trade yesterday and closed it today. Was on $BMY. 1 day return of 58%. Annualized for 252 trading days that’s 115 followed by 18 zeros %.
Not sure if that rate of return is reasonable or sustainable going forward 🤔.
@GeneInvesting
This is great stuff, thx.
Do you or anyone else have other biotech cos/themes you believe in LT besides gene editing cos?
I don’t know, maybe $BMRN, $INCY, $EXAS, $JAZZ, $SRPT, $SWAV, $BPMC, $CYTK, $RYTM, $RXTX, $TWST, others?
@gotmargincalled
@unusual_whales
I’m hoping for a pandemic on the scale of the Black Death so I can be in a better negotiating position in trying to get a raise.
@long_equity
Wow, that’s huge. Both great companies that I’ve made a lot of money on over the years.
However, for $SNPS seems a bit far afield from their core semiconductor design by buying $ANSS, which is involved in so many industries.
@constantraise
@maxgoyzman
@iSlutsky
That’s a shitty excuse for pretending to be a CRE pro with decades of experience & successful deals and then offering up lies and bullshit that many people took to be sound advice from an expert.
If that’s how you justify it to yourself then you have some serious fucking issues.
@GuyTalksFinance
@TysonHillRE
I strictly pay in gold and silver coins.
Or barter of course, traded a rooster for two dozen eggs and a bushel of apples recently, dontcha know, ayuh.
@dirtygreenpaper
@GeneInvesting
Yes, I suppose I could do that but goes against the very idea of the investment experiment. Watching one ticker wouldn’t be nearly as fun as tracking all these different names, learning about them and the thrill of victory and agony of defeat.
@StealthQE4
I’m sorry, I’m going to have to mute you for awhile. You’ve been so wrong for so long even if there is a 10% or even 20% stock mkt pullback you’ll STILL be wrong.
Now, you’ve tweeted yourself into a hole so deep your pride will not let you admit you’ve been wrong.
@averygrrl
In economics fantasy land where everyone is purely rational the choice would be the same ($625,000 x .80 = $500,000).
Meanwhile back in the real world, any normal person would just take the $500k.
@FreedomFinLB
I have two equity accounts:
1) Dividend Growth and
2) Quality Compounders, where I have mostly non-dividend payers.
I just find it easier mentally, analytically & organizationally to treat them as two separate portfolios.
@Biotech2k1
Agree Treaury Direct sucks, like it hasn’t been updated in 40 years. The ONLY reason to have an account there is for I-Bonds.
Fidelity is great for trading any type of bond. Super easy. Like other brokerages you just can’t buy I-Bonds there.
@Biotech2k1
Have to agree on cybersecurity.
I’ve been wanting to own $PANW, $ZS or $CRWD but just can’t get past valuation on names. Missed chance on $PANW early in year. I do own $FTNT but stock has gone nowhere in 1.5 yrs. Not digging the dilution either.
@ContrarianSaver
Yes. I don’t need any more stuff. In fact, I’m trying to get rid of stuff & simplify my life. Im all about experiences, memories last longer. But I don’t see anyone giving me a vacation as a gift. That’d be inappropriately expensive. A gift certificate for a massage I’d like.
@Josh_Invests_
I always thought $EBIX was a scam.
Visited CEO many years ago, not a scrap of paper on desk. No explanation for what they “do”. CFO paid mere $100k, while CEO makes millions. Cult of personality WAY over top supposed good deeds by CEO to help people n India.
Avoided,didn’t short
@MikeSyl36625988
Yes, they suck. Everything you said was true.
They’ve rebranded themselves from “Corporate Raiders” to “Private Equity”. Sounds much softer.
Fwiw, there was zero reason Toys R Us had to go bankrupt.
@galenlittle
Still waiting.
Only 45 mins to go before mkt open. Guess we’ll soon find out whether FDA makes announcement before or after mkt opens. I hope after. I’d like to add to my gene editing cos.
Doubt they’ll wait until end of day for something this important. Thoughts?
@GeneInvesting
@arthurmemedaeva
No, not referring to biotech per se. It’s been the worst bear mkt maybe ever in Biotech.
Talking generally about many companies hitting all time highs.
@dollarsanddata
They had a summer estate in VT, about 1,000 acres right on Lake Champlain. Detoured train line to stop there on way to Montreal. Employed hundreds of people back in day. Eventually couldn’t afford it & sold it to state of VT. Shelburne Farms, beautiful place for all to enjoy now
@GeneInvesting
Is it too late to change my last pick from $BLUE to $SANA?
The more I cogitated on it the more crazy it is to pick $BLUE. A miraculous sequence of things would need to go right for it to work, imho. Please let me know. Thx
@DreamDividend
Same! $MMM is a yield trap. Their highly touted innovation is way overrated. Would have seen it in sales growth by now, of which they basically have none.
@galenlittle
Ahhh, so that explains why $VRTX is up so much today too (+11%)? I own both $EDIT & $VRTX.
Ironically, $CRSP is worst performing stock in entire Biotech portfolio, down 20% in about a week.
@DarthDividend23
@JeremyW_FL
I believe he does.
Do you, or any other dividend investors, EVER ask yourself why REITs or the other stocks you mentioned, which I think are yield traps, are trading so cheaply?
I dunno, maybe they are “cheap” for valid reasons?
@GeneInvesting
I was blown away by all the responses and humbled by all the great suggestions.
Also, I’m following all sorts of great people, learning new things & a part of this new community.
I had things going on today so wasn’t able to invest which is too bad. I’m in for long haul though.
@Investmentkage
You’re most definitely on the right path, imho.
I think that’s the case with any field that requires expertise, including investing. Twitter would have you think otherwise.
Like Buffett or Munger or Dalio etc, who have way more experience than me, I’m constantly learning 🤔.
@Biotech2k1
I’m concerned about the burn rate on certain companies. By my calculation several don’t have much longer before they run out of cash. Do you think raising new capital will become easier? I sure hope so.
@averygrrl
I own $QUAL ($MOAT too) in my Quality Compounders portfolio.
When I get to point in life where I don’t want to spend my days analyzing individual companies I’m just going to put the money in a few ETFs.
In my dividend account some solid ETFs to choose from ($SCHD, $DGRO etc).
The worst people to get stuck in line behind at the “convenience” store are the lottery ticket scratch card people.
“I’ll take 2 of the liberty bells, 3 of the turkeys, 5 of

and on and on and on.
@lindsaystamp3
Very true. I retired at 50 from a high stress, high paying job. Was so focused on finish line planned nothing for afterwards. 58 now, sort have got it figured out.
Work only when I want, volunteer, go to gym, get outside, play guitar, maintain social connections, enjoy “me” time.
@Biohazard3737
Unless I’m missing something obvious or am misreading the question, if you make 5%/day every single day for 252 trading days this year that’s works out to 21,862,578% annual return.
I choose that option.
@MultifamilyMad
Portugal has the same inflation rate as the US and reached the same peak inflation as well, so that’s not it.
You may (or maybe not) have noticed that different places around the globe have different costs of living?
@SavvyTrader
Why TF would I want to invest like Bill Gates? Being a retired multi-billionaire his goals are much different than mine or most anyone’s.
At $110Bil net worth could put ALL his money into ST TBills
@5
.5% & earn $6Bil/yr., risk-free.
Our finl goals/risk/security are NOT the same
@DividendTalks
$COST mainly because of superior dividend growth but also more loyal customer base because of membership requirement (itself a good biz generating high margin $1.7 Bil/year).
@NeckarValue
He apparently really liked to concentrate his bets when his conviction level & risk/reward were high too.
Soros was actually annoyed with Druckenmiller when they “only” made $1 Billion on their famous bet against the British Pound.
@GeneInvesting
Agree, that’s really what it’s all about, to be thankful on this most thankful day, that some of these devastating diseases will be addressed/cured in the next decade.
Will be very nice to make some money on that too.
A win/win.
@Darkminer71
Similar to people not buying $JEPQ and similar ETFs in taxable accounts because dividends are taxed unlike in a non- taxable account like a Roth IRA. Duh, no shit. Doesn’t mean it’s the wrong thing to do.
@Quality_stocksA
What the hell does US News & World Report know about stocks?
I’m not digging their recommendations much at all.
$GOOGL maybe.
I used to own some Mexican airport cos, made money on them, do they know anything at all about the political/military situation there? Doubtful.
@hypergrowth102
Why can’t people just admit $PLTR is a shitco?
It’s become one of those stocks where people lose sight of the fundamentals and have their identity and self-worth wrapped up in it.
That’s not a good thing.
@DividendRay
Rock on Ray 🤘👍!
Just for the hell of it I calculated how much I’m passively earning through TBills and Dividends per year/month/week/hour.
Earning ~$100/hour, 24/7/365.
Time to go hang out with the missus, chill out, watch a little TV and go to sleep all the while earning $.
@galenlittle
@EvenDragonsEnd1
And for people who don’t recall Broadcom was considered a pure play, super high growth semiconductor company with an unlimited runway. Just like $NVDA is now.
Actually, for many years of it’s life $NVDA was considered kind of a crappy company.
@Quality_stocksA
Read good write up how Mexico is 2nd most visited tourist destination in world (after France).
There are 3 major airports:
One near Cancun (ASR),
$OMAB (northern Mex, lot of trade)
$PAC (catering to Pacific tourists).
Total monopolies high div ylds, but political risk.
@constantraise
Your damage control efforts are failing miserably.
You’re the George Santos of ReTwit.
Your entire bio, background, experience are all lies, as are your “know it all” tweets.
Despite everything I sincerely hope you have a Happy Thanksgiving 🦃.
@WealthCoachMak
Good morning to you as well. It’s 10pm here.
Had a great experience with my first ever CC trade today on $BMY.
I realize I’ve been going on and on about this but, just wanted to say I’m completely in on the options, trying to continually learn and am going to tackle it tomorrow.
@joecarlsonshow
If forced to pick, $DG.
If those greedy exec MFers can stop ripping off their customers and shareholders, then this is a business model that should absolutely work; like it has done for decades.
@GrindeOptions
Yeah, I have a couple thoughts.
What basis or investment thesis do you have to target such specific price targets on individual stocks or is it just a wild ass guess?
Also, how close have your year ahead predictions been in the past?
Thank you.🙏
@rbradthomas
@dividendology
Wow, your cherry picked chart does not.
I could easily come up with one myself.
How about you share with your audience your long term PORTFOLIO returns.
We’ll wait.
@GeneInvesting
Rock on 🤘.
I consider you my
#1
Biotech Twitter guy. You don’t just throw out tickers like some folks, you put the work in and quite a bit of it 👍.
@lindsaystamp3
Did you at least have some fun along the way?
There’s only certain experiences you can fully enjoy at certain points in your age.
(i.e. backpacking and partying across Europe & staying in youth hostels in your 20s vs doing that in your 60s. NOT the same)
@scottsinvesting
@hypergrowth102
I’ve reconsidered my opinion after their latest results. After years of “profitless prosperity” (high growth, high losses) they’ve appeared to turned the corner and are now CF positive.
So, I take it back, $PLTR is not a shitco.
