What sort of swings are you trading on? We definitely don't see the seasonality swings like we used to years ago, but I imagine you can do ok on a 3x leveraged ETF if you're really watching it. I know a guy that lost like 5 million dollars trading NG futures years ago. Shorted it hard in winter time, and the price never dipped in the spring. Eventually it got so bad the trade commission stepped in and froze everything to liquidate whatever they could.

Im typically buying and swlling on 1 to 2% swings 1-5 times a day on a few stocks with decent volume.

Oh so you're REALLY watching things. Right on, that's what I'd like to be doing too, don't quite have the time for it yet.

Out again this morning for another 5% gain. I feel like UGAZ pulls back early week and gains strength end of week especially Fridays

What do you guys think of Disney? I was thinking about them today because of their live action movie releases this year. (Dumbo, Aladdin, Lion King)

So I did some googling and I guess they also jacked up their parks ticket prices too and they also have that new Star Wars attraction opening this year.

FOX deal likely closes end of this month too.

I think Disney is a decent long term hold. I held them from about 2009 - 2017 after they aquired marvel and did alright. They pay a pretty crummy dividend, but they are positioned for a ton of growth in the next decade. Good stock if you have low risk tolerance.

^ Yah.

I also looked at that HOU but I'm not sure if I should.....

TD and CM look alright I think.

Agreed, it's a long term play. I've been holding Disney for many years. It just grinds away growing slowly.

Hopefully more than inflation!

Hoping for a temp selloff due to UK non confidence vote today.

Idiots. Enjoy owning that underperforming company.

[Disoblige]

On that note, anyone trying a bottom fishing play with MEG?
I put in a $4.99 stink bid assuming it won't hit. Or will it

[BavarianBeast]

Good news for Husky shareholders.

Haha, I got in this morning for a short-term hold. It was a bit of a market overreaction and I think it'll partially correct itself.

I'm just trying to think pre-bid stock price for MEG, and then how it would have responded to the production cuts. So honestly, the low to high 5s range kind of makes sense. I'm not sure there is going to be much upside from here. Wouldn't be surprised to see high 4's either.
