Thanks Herb. I gave only been a subscriber for a few months but it seems like you have a lot of smart friends on your holiday shopping list. Thank you for sharing these insights.
A case could be made to own a Bitcoin miner whose BTC/share is increasing over a Bitcoin ETF who may have to sell BTCs to fund fees. Obviously, not all miners qualify.
You can tag your tickers in the article. I recently learned about this and am trying to share the info.
Tagging the tickers will improve Substack’s ability to find the article for people who are searching for that ticker.
For instance: “Apple (AAPL) $AAPL needs to…”
The Substack app, last I knew, didn’t recognize these $ ticker links yet. However, they work on web and e-mail.
I’m encouraging all stock analysis authors to begin using this system more. If we use it as authors, it creates a bigger incentive for Substack to develop it. The more Substack develops their stock searching features, the better it will be for all stock analysis publications on Substack.
I noticed you had stocks in parenthesis, but didn't have the $ ticker strategy used to drive more visibility in the stock searching tool.
Did not know this. Can't you just say "Apple ($AAPL)' or "Apple $AAPL" I don't get the impression Substack really cares about the potential of its investing/financial channel. Thanks for passing this along, however.
I haven't tested. Putting in parenthesis was the standard for Seeking Alpha and I figure some people might try to search for it that way. But the search feature for Substack as a whole (not for individual stacks) is broken anyway.
If it does link correctly while in parentheses, it would still be showing empty parentheses to anyone reading in the app. Hardly ideal.
I also get the feeling that they found the low hanging fruit in politics and culture as a shocking amount of people are eager to pay someone to loudly confirm their existing world view.
Seems like resources are dedicated to pushing those services rather than to enhancing the overall platform to make it a way for readers to discover others authors in their area of interest.
I owned BELFB in that 12 range and wound up selling out of impatience in the 15 range IIRC. Still kicking myself.
Look at it like this: You got 25%. (I own a self-kicking machine!)
Why own a self-kicking machine, when there are commenters on the internet that will do that for free! <smile>
🤣

I have a few smart friends, yes. And they're often the first to remind anybody that they're not infallible.
Enjoy your work. What small investors need is not 'stock picks' but starting points. Things that we likely would not know about. Thanks for that!
Everything should be a jumping off point. You're welcome.
Loved this piece. Thanks, Herb!

... which gets to a level on BTC that I will let others figure out. (And therein lies the opportunity!)
Well done on the MARA call, Herb

I love the explicit way you present the numbers and interpret the graphs. Thank you Herb!
My pleasure, Gary. Glad it makes sense to you!
Obvious acronym for Stocks to Avoid - Red Flag: STARF.
Keep trying! 🤣
Stocks to avoid, really! - STAR
Poxy Stocks! Avoid them like the plague.
