Buy $ REN $
.92-$1-1.08
I am unable to find $REN anywhere.
Anyone: What is the full name?
Thanks!
REN is the token of RenVM, a platform promising centralized management of defi currencies. I swapped my algo for ren on exodus merely on adoption which was probably stupid
\
everything without use case is still speculative.
Thank you @Lazut Inku
REN is a crypto. That is the full name. It’s available on Coinbase.
Anyone buy HLTH?
I got in at $16.50 and sold at $21, I may buy back in if it gets back to the offering price since it appears to be a solid and growing company. GLTA
Nice gain in a day!
No Complaints
I’ll take 27% any day.
It is $12 now, wondering why it went down, is it ok to get in?
It is further down, now it is $10.90. I mean would it be a good entry point, if there is no negative news?
I’m a new investor, I request to post the comments along with like/dislike to get myself educated even if it is negative.
Hi Prakad, as with all of Mampilly’s recommends it is always best to wait a few weeks (months) before committing. After the initial hype (pump) the price invariably falls and you can save yourself a year of anxiety wondering whether you will ever recoup your investment, nevermind profit.
Extreme Fortune Fortune Buy alert : Apyx Medical Corp. (Nasdaq: APYX)
CURRENT PRICE RANGE
$12.03 to $13.29
ipo spec flash buy alert : buy ARBK middle price : $18.00
secret portfolio: sell TRIT (at a loss)
Very discouraging: Biggest loss ever today. but thanks to the people here, I started buying the dips using limit orders. I had been using the market “ask” price to purchase shares.
Marissa, only a loss on paper, with the wild swings we are seeing it might just as likely reverse over the next couple days. It certainly is disappointing to see though.
Hope the strategy works out for us all!
BUY ALERT
PAULS true momentum :
IPG PHOTONICS CORP. (NASDAQ: IPGP)
CURRENT PRICE RANGE
$146.87 TO $172.41
Thanks Sam!
Thanks Sam, I will be watching this one closely to see which way this goes. Reason being there is a large gap at a lower level May 4th 2020 at $121 to $135 the market has a habit of closing these gaps. On the upside there is also a gap to close from August 2nd to 3rd. In this case the price dropped from $216 to $188. Off to do DD!
Much appreciated!

way to go girl! gracious.
Given how the market has been as of late, in hopes it may be of some help, I thought I would share the following article that I received today from another subscription service. This particular service has a little different approach than that of PM; nevertheless, as a very small-time investor, I have great respect for and have done well by this particular service. Do not get me wrong, as a PU member, I am #BOP on America 2.0, have great respect for and will continue following PM. But I personally find value in the differing approaches, suggestions, and guidance PM and AG offer. So, if you are interested, here it is:
“In a previous column, I endorsed author James Clear’s view that, to a great extent, your outcomes in life are a lagging indicator of your habits.
Your knowledge is the sum of your learning habits. Your health and fitness are the sum of your eating and exercise habits. Your net worth is the sum of your saving and investing habits.
Adopt the right financial habits and, before long, you’ll show up in the annual survey by Spectrem Group, a consulting and research firm that tracks U.S. millionaires.
At the end of 2020, Spectrem found that the number of wealthy Americans increased for the 12th consecutive year.
There have never been more U.S. households with a seven-figure net worth.
And given the performance of stocks, bonds and the housing market this year, we’re likely to hit another record in 2021.
Of course, most millionaires never start a computer company in their garage, make a platinum record or play third base for the Yankees.
But the vast majority followed a remarkably similar path. They adopted good financial habits and stuck with them, not just for years but decades.
With a nod to mega-bestselling author Stephen Covey, I call them “The Seven Habits of Highly Successful Investors.”
Here they are in a nutshell.
No. 1: Highly successful investors live within their means.
It doesn’t matter what a terrific investor you would be if you had capital. You must have some to get started. And since few of us are lucky enough to inherit it, marry into it or win the Powerball, that means beefing up your education or marketable skills to maximize your income. Then make sure your outgo is less than your after-tax income. Saving 10% annually is a minimum goal. More is better.
No. 2: Highly successful investors own their homes instead of renting them.
This isn’t always possible when you’re just starting out and don’t have credit history or a down payment – or if your job or circumstances require you to move frequently. But building equity beats the heck out of lining your landlord’s pocket, especially when you keep score in decades. Rent long enough and you’ll have paid what it costs to own a house, but you’ll have nothing to show for it.
No. 3: Highly successful investors take calculated risks.
It takes guts to invest the money you’ve earned, paid taxes on and foregone spending, and expose it to potential losses. But super-safe investments like money markets, CDs and T-bills don’t even keep up with inflation. High-returning assets fluctuate in value, sometimes wildly and at totally unexpected times. That’s just the price of admission. Get used to it.
No. 4: Highly successful investors asset allocate.
This term refers to how you divide your portfolio among stocks, bonds and cash. It includes equity subcategories like large cap and small cap, growth and value, and domestic and international, as well as fixed income subcategories like high grade, high yield, tax-free and Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities.
No. 5: Highly successful investors are disciplined.
You can’t buy and sell on a whim – or for emotional reasons – and expect to prosper. The stocks you own should meet key criteria before you buy them. That might include certain sales and earnings growth, return on equity, product innovation, quality of management, or insider buying. Sell disciplines vary, including annual rebalancing for index funds and trailing stops for individual stocks. These will increase your returns while reducing risk.
No. 6: Highly successful investors keep a sharp eye on investment costs.
The goal is for you to get rich… not your advisor. Fortunately, fund fees, trading commissions and investment minimums have been coming down for years and have never been lower. In many cases, they are now zero. Celebrate it.
No. 7: Highly successful investors tax-manage their portfolios.
If you are eligible for an IRA, 401(k) or other qualified retirement plan, take advantage of it. Pretax dollars beat post-tax dollars, especially when there is employer matching. (Also known as “free money.”) Retirement accounts are ideal for holding tax-inefficient investments like high-yield bonds, real estate investment trusts (REITs) and high-dividend-paying stocks. Outside your retirement accounts, you can still avoid the prying hands of the IRS by buying and holding individual stocks – you owe no capital gains taxes on equities you don’t sell – owning index funds, offsetting capital gains with capital losses where possible, and investing in tax-free municipal bonds rather than taxable ones.
Can investment success really be this simple and straightforward?
Yes and no. The principles themselves are easy to understand. But I could spend hours filling in the blanks and talking about the details – as I often do in my e-letter, Liberty Through Wealth.
The first step is to understand the power of good financial habits. The second is to adopt them. And the third is to stick with them, even when the going gets rough, as it will from time to time.
Remember to cut yourself some slack too.
No one is a perfect saver. We all have unexpected expenses, short-term emergencies and occasional indulgences. The idea is to strike a balance.
It would be a pretty dull life otherwise. (Saving all your money for retirement is like saving up all your sex for old age. It doesn’t make a lot of sense.)
No one is a perfect investor either.
Like everyone else with 35-plus years of experience, I look back at the stocks I wish I’d bought, the ones I wish I’d sold and the ones I wish I hadn’t.
You don’t have to get everything right all the time. But you do need to get the big things right most of the time.
So save regularly. Build equity. Manage risk. Asset allocate. Stay disciplined. And keep a close eye on expenses and taxes.
Stick with these habits and investment success will follow.”
Nice to see I am featured in No. 3 🙂
Thanks for sharing. Sometimes it helps to step back and think of things at this perspective rather than at an individual company/stock perspective.
LOL 🙂
Hehehehe
thank you Bigdawgryan for sharing, would you mind sharing his recommendation just to get an idea the type of stock he recommends if there are any…
In addition to PM’s PU, I subscribe to Alexander Green’s (AG) The Oxford Communique from The Oxford Club. In fact, I joined The Oxford Club just a couple of months before learning of Paul Mampilly.
The quote I shared yesterday was from AG’s free e-letter Liberty Through Wealth (similar to PM’s Bold Profits). Within the Oxford Communique service, subscribers have access to four portfolios: The Oxford Trading Portfolio , Gone Fishin’ Portfolio, The Oxford All-Star Portfolio , and finally the Ten-Baggers of Tomorrow Portfolio.
I recently rolled over a 401K from a previous employer into a rollover IRA and utilize the Gone Fishin’ Portfolio approach for a major percentage of it. However, for the balance of that account, I follow PM’s recommendations. NOT to distract from PM and all of his great guidance, which I have great respect for and continue to follow, but, if anyone is interested, AG recently released an updated version of his book: The Gone Fishin’ Portfolio, which is available for about $20 on Amazon.
Unlike PM, in some of these portfolios, AG recommends using trailing stops, and in others he does not. Nevertheless, it has been interesting to me to see frequent overlaps…aka an AG recommendation that is the same as a PM rec. From the past several monthly newsletters–similar to PU–recommendations have included: $AMRS, $JCI, $PRFT, $GOLD, $EXAS, and $MRK.
For me, I do not own every one of PM’s PU recs, nor do I own all of AG’s Oxford Communique recs. Thanks to this group, I have been able to pick up a few of PM’s TM, EF, and CFT recs. Through it all, I try to select things that align with my values, goals, objectives, understanding, preferences, and my limited available funds. I do my best to diversity my holdings not only by sector, market cap, etc. but also based on the source of the recommendation (PM and AG) and their respective services/portfolios.
Could you please share some of AG’s recommendations? Thanks!
Again, not to distract from the focus of this thread (PM’s various services), but in answer to requests from Sam and Doc:
As of today, the Trading Portfolio includes: $GOLD, $CVS, $XLE, $IBM, $JCI, $MRK, $ORCL, $PRFT, $VZ, and $DEM. All are still listed as “Buy” and have a recommended 25% Trailing Stop.
The All-star Portfolio includes: $TDF, $PSHZF, $MKL, $IEP, $EQR, $EMF, and $BRK.B All are listed as “Buy” No trailing stops.
The Ten Baggers portfolio includes: $AMRS, $EXAS, $GKOS, $MRVL, $NEW, and $NVCR. All are listed as “Buy” No trailing stops.
You’ll notice that some of the recommendations above ($ORCL, $IBM, $CVS, $JCI, etc.) are on PM’s Blacklist. However, AG has a contrarian approach to them…
varying opinions, recommendations, and approaches…make your best decisions.
What are the objectives of the differing portfolios you’ve listed?
I’m guessing that just like Paul has different services, so does this stock picker.
Trades seem to be shorter term. All-star seem to be less volatile with good track records, 10-baggers seem more risky. Basically, Paul’s stocks probably almost all fall into the 10-baggers. High risk, high reward. He had owned NVCR (was a really good profit in that one in TM), he owns EXAS, and I think he’s done options on MRVL. Looking at these GKOS and AMRS look interesting to me too.
Paul has a good track record, but at some point in time I will try to get to a more balanced approach in my portfolio. I am 30 years old, and have now developed the stomach for some risk, haha. But thinking I’ll try to do a 60% Paul, 20% cash, 20% larger company (might be seen as America 1.0, but I’ll look for big innovators – Salesforce (CRM) comes to mind) mix. This will allow me to sleep better than having a portfolio 100% with Paul’s stocks.
This sounds like a sound approach! But 60% is a lot of speculation for me at 63. You will get more conservative as you get older.
again not to distract from the objective of this thread, but here is a simple overview of the Oxford Club approach.
The Oxford Club has its Pillars of Wealth, the first of which is the Oxford Wealth Pyramid. The various Oxford Club services feed into the pyramid.
Base: Core Portfolio – an ideal would be the Gone Fishin’ Portfolio
Typical Holding Period: Indefinite
Annualized Return Goal: 7% to 12%
Next level up: Blue Chip Out performers – Oxford Trading and Oxford All-Star portfolios
Typical Holding Period: One to five years
Annualized Return Goal: 12% to 50%
Next Level up: Long-Term Targeted Trading – Ten-Baggers of Tomorrow
Typical Holding Period: One year or more
Annualized Return Goal: 20% to 200%
Next Level up: Short-Term Targeted Trading – other Oxford Club VIP services
Typical Holding Period: Four months to one year
Annualized Return Goal: 50% to 1,000%-plus
Next Level up: Intermediate Income – another Oxford Club service
Typical Holding Period: One to five years
Annualized Return Goal: 12% to 30%
Top Level of the pyramid: Ultra- Short-term Targeted Trading – other Oxford Club VIP services
Typical Holding Period: Less than four months
Annualized Return Goal: 20%-plus
Looks like you didn’t read your literature you got with your service… it’s a little off.
Oops! Mistyped…$NEW should really be $NEO
Thank you! I appreciate your sharing these recs.
Typo that’s NEO not NEW
Well Bigdawg, I subscribe to the same 2newsletters! And a lot of ( wish I could say all ) the above advice. Mom I will get some Magic. Owned and sold EXAS. Sold for ISRG AND others. I will try to get my EXAS back. I can’t seem to sell all my pm’s that went down. NNDM , PRLB, momentus. AEYE, SSYS and DD. That’s a lot to swallow as I watch them shrink further, BUT , Paul says, BOP. I’m with Paul less than a year but with Oxford since 2004. Bought Accuray instead of INTUITIVE SURG. Or I’d be in the 1M club. My point is PM Zia a long way from a 25% trailing stop. Good luck, I hope we can teach each other.

$UPST Upstart Holdings Inc. Hopefully many of us are holding this stock and either holding for the long term or like me thinking that the stock is trading at something like 50x revenue! A hefty premium for new investors. My daily chart shows that the stock is in an upwards channel currently sitting on the lower part and on the 13 day MA. Fingers crossed this continues in the channel up towards new highs of $370.
In reading about the future prospects and growth I stumbled across another fintech using AI for providing loans.
$LC LendingClub also uses AI to provide similar services but importantly for me this stock has a much lower valuation. DD in progress.
Ummm – – LC was a PM EF rec on 05.21.21. Doubled+ since that date.
Thanks kapphx, I missed that one. Fortunately I brought this morning.
secret portfolio trade alert: Buy LILM. A vertical take off and landing airtaxi.
That was Kings Qell rec, correct?
That was Kigs QELL which changed to LILM , king send an alert to sell it about last week in loss.
Maybe the absurdly expensive secret portfolio subscription is secretly for people that want to do tax harvesting since most of the trades this year have been at a loss
Completely agree. Every time a recommendation comes out, I second guess it. Should I wait a month for it to drop 30%?
I am not sure about LILM, neither them nor Joby. Both are extremely expensive as non-revenue producing companies. I haven’t any stocks but I would try EH that at least has eVTOLS 0n the market that fly and produces already a bit of revenue(+ much cheaper).
Any clue as to what happened with SPIR today?
SPIR sold a lot of shares
should read SPIR sold off a lot of their own shares

Hi there! I just saw Ian King’s new video with 3 new DiFi Crypto’s he about to release today 10/12/21. Usually you update once per month here on stockgumshoe. Last update was on Sept 13th so I was hoping you could update today/tomorrow for Oct 12th or 13th so we can get King’s new crypto picks? THA?NKS!!!! Have a wonderful day!
RUNE, LPT, SAND are in IK’s pub today.
true momentum flash sell alert : sell VICR for 98% profit
I’m on the fence about this one. I have 100 shares, and have a gain of 94%. There are currently 35 or so open positions in TM, and I think they like to keep it under 40. Plus, from FB and Twitter posts there seems to be a lot of negativity PM has to deal with. 15 days until earnings. I hope this is one of the companies I can hold for years to come, so I’m not selling it. Just moving it from TM portfolio to my picks portfolio, giving him credit for the 94% gain, and restarting the clock.
I didn’t sell either.
100x update from Pm today. Short version — keep holding MARA, they have doubled BTC mining output, hold $350M in BTC , he thinks with BTC growth will eventually be $2B.
Also, ride out the volatility, our stocks are 3-5 year holds.
No other stocks mentioned.
Thanks for the update, good to see MARA building wealth and BTC trending higher again. Holding all of the 100X picks tight.

Buy $ENJ$
1.61 – 1.70 – 1.89
I think this is second time he rec’d this, and first time sold it at a loss, no?
I’m in NY, so couldn’t get it. I think I bought more UNI as a substitute, and I’m still about 10% down in that.
That’s correct, sold for a loss a couple weeks ago, I bought this one on Gemini but the fees are high. I also live in NY
I’m curious as to what strategy ID uses to make his picks. The thing about strategies is they are only good for as long they keep working and until they stop working. Then you need to come up with a new strategy. ID is much more in-tune than me with macroeconomic factors in the crypto space and the details of specific projects. But I am skeptical as to how he is coming up with his buy and sell picks. As DD already replied, he is giving a buy signal for ENJ only weeks after selling it for a loss. Had he said nothing, most of the loss from the first purchase would have recovered by now.
I agree, wish I held my previous position.
In his opening introduction to the service he explained how he used moving averages to determine when to buy and sell, a strategy he had developed at the time with over 30 straight wins. I’m willing to give him a chance and see how this service plays out. Supposedly most trades will be in and out within 3 months. I’m trading using his service and holding some for long term gains.
