@reddy67874 @Jerry19880 @piques15 only stock i added to today was $AMZN. like the risk/reward probabilities here on $TTWO, but there’s more downside if player sentiment and engagement data start moving the wrong way.

@sigmazerocap I own a small position in $CRM (thankfully lower cost base), and no $META, so $CRM it is. Clicks results. Wow, guess CRM is going up another 25% next quarter. Love when everyone is positioned wrongly.

@ryanTesling @piques15 added to $AMZN today, no surprise there

@ryanTesling don’t care as i’m not focused on $AMZN short term trading rn
