Companies like this will continue to experiment with AI and blockchain. They have to balance this with trust and safety. Time will tell how it shakes out.

They announced they will let AI agents trade. It's a good thing. This is where the business is going, using AI tools. He hopes people don't use these tools recklessly.They announced they will let AI agents trade.JoshIt's a good thing. This is where the business is going, using AI tools. He hopes people don't use these tools recklessly.

This sector is diversifying its product model and offering so that each company isn't known for only one thing, like HOOD and meme trading. No, he would never let an AI agent run his own fund.

It was parabolic a year ago and has since settled in. Her calls expire next month at $80, which is resistance. But being down 50% from highs is not a catalyst to go higher.

He just bought a little on this dip, then covered it on the earnings report on a tight call. The next day, the stock traded down. Then, he went long on it at $72. In the $70s, it's solid investment, not a trade. A solid company with a solid customer base.

Is up 95% the past year, but peaked last summer, tied to the move by Bitcoin. EPS and revenues have been marked down, but the company is diversifying by adding strong intellectual capital. At $150, shares were ahead of themselves. They report April 28. Wants to see a lower PE.

Not sure about bitcoin. But blockchain technology is going to be an important aspect of the continued tech evolution of transferring information and data across the industrial world. Bitcoin is a speculative asset and doesn't have a lot of industrial or financial uses.

Bought a bit, and sold on a bounce. Visionary CEO. Morphing into wider markets. Innovative. Hiccup recently. Be careful with these highly valued names. He'd be interested in the low $60s.

It trades at 30x PE. but way too much of its business is in cryptos. Wants to see more business in stocks and bonds.

It fell on Q4 reporting. Relies too much on crypto, where revenues are down 38%. Is not diversified enough. Also, was little improvement in debt-to-equity and growth is moderating. Unfortunately, HOOD is tied to crypto prices.

He's never understood bitcoin, or why regular people would want to transact in it. This last timeframe is a perfect example. Why has bitcoin suddenly fallen 40%? No one fully understands why, and he's not the guy to ask. He's boring and stays away from it.

Purely speculative. Not for conservative investors or anyone with a heart condition ;)  If you want to be in this space, do so only in a very small way.

 It reports on Tuesday. Some feels that HOOD is linked closely to Bitcoin, which has taken a dive. Is not so dependable.

Was up 205% last year, though has pulled back from October highs, due to cooling in cryptos and speculative stocks. He likes HOOD long term. A generation is learning to trade on HOOD, a generation that will inherit more than $1 trillion from baby boomer parents. Short term, HOOD may trade in line with crypto and spec plays.
