Another day. Another shark is after DIS. The "let's carve poor DIS up like a turkey" drumbeat is getting louder and louder. Funny how when the stock was 130+ (you know before covid) no one said shat. Anyway I sold DIS today. Took my profit and ran. (bought at mid 80s). I didn't want to see my investment turned into a bloodbath. What I did with some of the money; doubled my WBD holding and bought more VZ. Still got 1200 cash left in the account. Might just roll that back into the emergency fund once it all settles.

Another day. Rolled into XOM, more VZ, and more SWPPX. Getting ready to shaft the card company outta some fee money to. Bidding my time on Paramount. Letting the sharks do whatever to the poor company first. If Redstone doesn't sell then the stock will drop back into the teens again. If she does sell, well, shareholders will get shafted cause the Sharks will go after the easy and cheapest way to get it and that's via the controlling company, National Amusements which is not publicly traded. The only one who wins outta said deal is Redstone. Yeah I know that one dude floated an offer to buy the whole company but there's doubts he can get the cash lined up to do it.

Sold BABA during the last spike at end of January. So while I didn't make a lot least I didn't lose anything on the deal either. Aside; imagine getting paid by sheep to do this to them for 40 min all in the name of "posture correcting" which uh far as I know this is a load of crap and due to it's "alternative nature" you don't need any sort of state license (so no govt foot up your ass or IRS reporting required) to do it either.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dxL44fwOLF8&t=47s

Another day. Sipping some coffee and trying to relax after finding out upon waking that the cat who had the surgery got his cone off during the night. He didn't damage the surgery site though and I put the cone back on him. He's doing pretty good all things considered. Just 12 days till E-Trade punts out the 1099's and I finally file my taxes. Glorious fat refund awaits. Part of it will be going to pay off the vet bill; bit over $1,000. (But it's worth it, poor guy feels better and this is the first time either cat has had to go to the vet in all the year's we've had them)
