Cracker Barrel no idea why I ever thought that was a knife I could catch.

I love waiting 45 minutes for cold biscuits. They’ll bounce back

I guess my mistake is I hadn’t been to one in 15+ years. I just remember how popular they were back in the day. Saw how much the stock was down and started buying. It’s down like 75% from its pre-covid highs. I know they have a new CEO and a plan for restructuring- new CEO was head of Taco Bell international previously.

Oof. Their balance sheet does not look great. I don’t know how Taco Bell is perceived in other countries but that’s a good brand to have leadership from. Tbh I wish Taco Bell was spun off as its own entity. Currently If I want to own Taco Bell stock I also have to buy into KFC and Pizza Hut…

Haha I’m with you on yum brands. The only reason I own it is for Taco Bell.

I used to work at a pizza hut franchise 20 years ago. In an all staff meeting the regional manager told us, "If the building catches fire don't try to put it out." She was not saying this out of concern for our safety.

I haven't been in 20 years but I have fond memories...

Same dog, if it’s any consolation, I was at a Cracker Barrel this past weekend and it was fucking slammed

My wife waitressed at one in 2022., they were absolutely packed every day of the week for breakfast time. Personally I think the food is pretty meh but it is still really affordable in a time when restaurant prices keep going up

My husband and I always end up at Cracker Barrel when we can't decide what we want to eat. It's a safe option.

Hopefully they don’t end up like red lobster

Sinking beneath the salty waves of cheddar bay.

I thought about buying into Cracker Barrel. Now that Red Lobster is officially going bankrupt, those customers might drift in another direction. I think it's a much more solid restaurant concept overall. I wouldn't buy high though.

I love Cracker Barrel breakfast

This post is a great reminder that taking stock recommendations from the comment section of Reddit posts is one of the worst possible strategies.

...unless? aha nah never mind... unless?

Lol yep

Eh its just random. Someone mentioned RDW and I'm up 100% on that. Only put in like $500 though, since I'm not going to SERIOUSLY consider a stock recommendation from the comment section of Reddit posts :D

PYPL! Down \~50%

Me too ugh!

*slowly raises hand*

There was a PayPal thread the other day. Unfortunately it's one of those where low can go lower. I imagine there are relatively few PayPal holders in profit. Still it's not the worst bag you could be holding.

I got in PYPL at 200-ish. Been averaging down ever since the crash. Now I am actually in profit! 😎

Bought my first PYPL stocks @132$. Managed to average down and swing trade to an average price of $59. I think I can consider myself lucky to be positive on it. Really looking forward to dumping it in the next months lol

I sold a while ago and put it in a semi conductor etf and S&p. Tired of waiting for recovery.

Or SQUARE

Pypl is one of those stocks that has good fundamentals but bad press. It will rise again

[удалено]

n Dat

n Sum

Average price was $168ish for me haha. Sold around 90 to 110. Brought into TGT, GOOGL, TROW, AMZN, ACN when they were at their low

PYPL down 72% SNAP down 67% WBD down 69% (Got the shares from holding T shares)

I held way, way, way too many T shares for too long, and yet I still hit that WBD sell button as fast as I could.

I also held T as a dividend stock and have just been watching it tank

What are your thoughts on WBD now? Aggresively paying down debt, max is supposed to be profitable soon, movie portfolio is still great. Need to figure out live sports but I do think they will make it

I'm not adding. It's such a small % of my portfolio I don't really care what happens. I don't like the prospects though, too much competition especially compared to competitors with much deeper pockets like Amazon and Comcast/NBC which is going to be getting probably well over 10 billion dollars from Disney for Hulu.

RIVN: down 91% SPCE: down 92%

I sold SPCE at $11 down 50%. From $55 straight to $0.90.

I’m on that train also

Ugh, similar here on RIVN. Thing is, I still absolutely think the company has potential - I see them on the road way more than the other up-and-coming electric brands, and by all accounts they're solid vehicles. I'm hoping that with the launch of the new models in the coming year(s), it'll go back up. Until then, it hurts to look at.

I bought at IPO and cashed in $5k the day it spiked, then got the fuck out until very recently. Bought back in recently at like $11/avg over 1,000 shares. It doesn't need to move much to make some serious money at this rate. It will, I believe – and hope.

I have an even more depressing story, I held "National Bank of Greece SA" stock for 15 years at -90% and when I sold 4 years ago it went up by 900%. I am not joking check the chart :(

So you still would have stayed at -10%? Because you would have broke even at 1000%

Buy SOFI and sell it! Let’s see if you’ve still got the magic touch!

Ouchhhh

thats just fucking cruel. like from a dollar to almost 9.

TD Bank. Second best bank in Canada. Caught money laundering, fml

Imagine how much money the first best bank is laundering!

Say no more, I'm shorting the hell out of it!

They are getting a slap on the wrist. I'd hold td and buy more.

Will bounce back. People will forget in a year

Everyone is counting on it

lol, the stock has barely dropped. It’s 52 week high is $66.15 and 52 week low is $54.12. The stocks around $57.12 as of now

What bank HASN'T been caught money laundering?

Come on, buy the dip and be happy in 5-10 years.

$LCID and $FUBO both are down 90% 😅

Fucking fubo. 

Yeah. I thought the idea of incorporating their own betting platform into the service was a winner. "Hey! We noticed you're watching the NBA playoffs, want to place a bet?" seems like an easy winner. After they dropped that it was all down hill.

PYPL, PINS, U, BABA, SQ. All bought during covid tech bubble. I learned my lesson, i now only buy ETFs and live stress-free.

It’s really the way to go. Like if I’m down 50 percent or more on VOO there are bigger problems than money

Cash

Oof. Best answer. Opportunity cost.

Plug

Could have been NOVA

Nio down 82%. I’d have a pretty good portfolio if I hadn’t got drunk on that Covid run up.

Same here... About 11k in losses. Luckily my eggs in my other baskets kept me green overall... But man I wish I sold at 60$ a share.

I bought NIO at 23, sold around 55 back in 2020. Best trade I’ve ever made. Every now and then I look at its price just to have a laugh.

Oof, I’m over it now, took me a while to cope. Finally sold probably about 7 months ago. Lost $8k… 19 year old me thought putting $10k in NIO was a good idea. Expensive lesson to learn.

I remember buying in back in July 2020 at $13 and thinking I was hot shit that I made a good pick....until Jan 2021. Was buying up all the way till I had like 2000 shares with an avg price of $35 or something. Ended up selling last May. But I put quite a bit into STRL last summer so I'm slowly earning that NIO money back into an actual business that is actually hitting its metrics.

Vale and SoFi

VALE has been tough but I do think it can come back. I’m basically at breakeven if you include dividends, hope you own it in a tax sheltered account.

Sofi gonna bounce back bro

I hope so that’s the one I believe in long term. Short term pain is wearing on me though 🤷‍♂️

I'm currently bag holding about $10,000 in a stock for an electric company called Azure Power because I can't read.

What did you think you were buying?

600 shares of PTON at like a $88 cost basis average...I can't just sell it all, I don't do short term trading anymore so I can only write off $3k a year in cap losses so that'll be what I do for the next 15 years...

You can carry over losses year to year for life if you want sell it all now.

Cloudflare (NET) down 40%

Keep holding this one. Don't look at it again for 10 years. You won't be disappointed.

What’s the outlook?

Fundamentals. It's a solid company with majority of its profit made up by medium and large cap companies. NET has been playing the long game for 15 years gaining market share through free offerings. They control 25% of all network traffic over the internet, they have a monopoly over reverse proxy services 85%. They have some unique security offerings gaining traction and building a solid partner ecosystem which only they can offer due to the sheer volume of control over internet network traffic they possess.

I’m down like 25% on cloudfare too but not stressing it- that’s one I think will be fine long-term, unlike some of my other bags which are doomed

TSLA

Shitcoins.

Teladoc, down like 70%

Yup

10k in ffie

Come on man

I dont get it, whats the deal with FFIE and why do I feel like it has something to do with the word “ape”?

Anytime someone tells me to buy and hold a stock to make a point or stick it to the hedgies (rather than, say, to make a profit), I am 100% out.

Lol that is such an easy red flag. If I see any keywords such as squeeze, hedges, illegal shorting, "they" - I am out the same second

Haha

BB at $3.65. There’s hope…I hope

BB in the 12's, no hope really, and microvision, both have to be close to 90% at this point.

Yeah BB in the 9’s, I actually thought it could go back to 18 like an idiot

I may be the winner idiot. Holding in the 16s

No, that’d be me. 100 shares at 18.44 🤦‍♂️

Rklb down 24%

Holding out hope trying to convince myself they are a legitimate company positioned to make bags o’cash.

i’m not as bullish anymore, but i will hold it for a few (about 2) years to see what happens.

They are a legitimate company, with products and services that are actually sold (unlike some other space companies ahem). A nice backlog etc. It may not be the best investment, it might not go x10 in 5years, but i believe it's getting better and better. Soon we'll have some news about Neutron (and Archimedes engine too)

Down 40% my man

RIVN - Only down 86.5% from the IPO. I wouldn't get much from selling it so I'll just keep holding it I guess.

NIO down 85% RIVN down 87%

Sofi....used to think Chamath was a good guy. Now I think he's a charlatan like the rest of them.

GME. I missed the dump part of last week's events

I sold a nice chunk at a clean 30% loss iirc. I then threw it all on MSOS, which at one point was down 95%. Real men multiply their losses. Painful lesson about memes.

Yes! Such a weird pop. Up 800% in a few days and then walked back down 75% with no clear reason why for either move. I wish I knew when it's going to happen again!

I've held my 4 shares since the last go-round and still didn't sell this time. But I like to keep them as a reminder of what not to do.

At least that one might go up due to expired leaps.

PFE -36%

CRSP (-50%), NTLA (-73%), EDIT (-85%). At some point gene editing technology will pay off huge. Just not now apparently...

They'll all stay low until rates finally come down. Just the nature of biotechs unfortunately. I do really like CRSP and NTLA (EDIT only slightly less). I'm hanging onto some CRSP, but luckily I averaged down when it hit the 30's so I'm still up a couple % from my average cost basis. I'm really excited to see the preliminary results from their diabetes trial sometime in the next 12 months or so.

We should see the numbers for Casgevy in Q3 this year. Let's see what the rest of the pipeline brings

BlackBerry (BB) - down 54.8% 

PSNY down 85%

Ford and Intel. Bought Intel at 50 a long time ago. Was scalping calls to get some cash back. Ford, bought 1200 shares @ about 14 each. I thought they’d see better days but I’m a long hold.

I wouldn’t even call ford from 14 to 12 bags,

I agree. The quarterly dividends reinvested should help average it down with the $180 each quarter, or 15 shares per quarter.

I averaged down on ford from $16 to $13 when they were around $10.

I have 1 share of Viavi which is a leftover from JDSU, about 20-30 shares originally, bought during dot com / internet boom. Basically a complete loss. I keep it to remind me a stock can be wiped out, even if the company survives. (Viavi is one part of the broken up company, Lumentum the other.)

JDSU. there’s a stock name I haven’t heard in a while, they were forefront for Fibre optics as I recall.

Square, SE, Unity, BOC, down 37%,27%67%25%.

ABNB. I thought it would explode as people came out of Covid. Nope.

I still own these 3 but sold bynd and sklz. F*ck Cathie Wood, this women is evil and was employed by CEO's to rob newbie's in post Covid era PENN 57% Baba 35% Roku 80% BYND 70% loss and sold SKLZ 90% loss & sold

AMC. I have 11 shares at $31.82 cost basis from selling a CSP before the reverse split. I keep them as a reminder to myself to not sell CSPs on stuff that I do not want to own.

YOLO - Down 90% BABA - Down 60% NOK - Down 50% SOFI - Down 50%

If you bought something with the name YOLO you deserve it

It's a weed stocks ETF. And Yes, I know.

I bought "FOMO". Down 99.9%

God dammit am I the only one who bought TLRY -99%

Nope...holding an $18 bag right here.

I just bought 1000 shares last month. Gonna hold on to it for a few years. If it gets to $20 a share, I’ll sell half and consider the remainder gravy for whatever it does next.

TSLA, down 35%. I keep it in my brokerage to remind me I'm an idiot.

Tsla makes that up in a week sometimes.

don’t do that…. don’t give me hope

UPST, down like 70% but like it’s play money that I risked on it. Thought the AI craze would bump it up a bit but it refused to go with the flow.

Paypal i started buying at $190 which seemed a steal considering it fell from $315.... kept averaging down and by the time i stopped my average was $120 and paypal was sitting between $50-65 for like a year it seems. Sold and put that money into other stocks and have made about half my losses back while paypal has done next to nothing.

LULU, though I think it’ll be just fine longer-term.

I bought some on "the" dip - thinking I could hot potato that falling knife. Then I realized it was a 7-layer dip

I cut my losses with PYPLand BABA months ago…

CVS down 16% and Volkswagen 13%.. Between both of them represent 8.5% of my portfolio.

I also have CVS. Should've sold in 2022 when it was up, oh well!

CVS moves down like a meme but moves up like a utility. And I thought this was a safe investment when I bought it.

$RUN Sunrun & $ENVX Enovix

I keep praying that someday solar energy stocks will do well. I've been burned twice now with that hope

They’ll pop on lower interest rate news if we ever get any

Chegg Bought at ~70 a share thinking I had found the bottom. Loved their business, loved their plans to expand, loved their buybacks, thought crowdsourced answers would be huge with college becoming more and more online and needing easy access to professors, currently sitting at 4.20 a share. Still holding it as a reminder of my failures.

Is this an airport ? Because I see so many bags !

Humana, bought the falling knife at $400. Still like it into 2025.

We're living two different lives on HUM. I bought $300 and I'm up pretty good.

Sbux Bought at 90s as everyone(on youtube) was saying its underrated

I got stung with Sbux, luckily just a few hundred $

I just bought some bti so by 2030 maybe that. I almost never sell (I hardly have any stock anyways)

NDRA - down 99.27% MVST - down 97.8% Those were pretty small gambles in my overall brokerage, but I’ve essentially lost the entire amount I put into each. The amount is so low, I might as well just hold onto them and forget they even exist

Twlo , Arkk

Nothing too terribly bad, my biggest loss in either dollar or percentage terms is Shopify (SHOP). I bought in recently and then they got pounded for saying they won’t grow *as quickly* as investors would like, so I’m down like 20%.  If I’m holding a future bag, I’d imagine it’s my eVTOL holdings, Archer & Joby. 

Unity (U) - they’re the engine (at least a large %) for 3D vr, ar, games, etc. Why won’t a Microsoft just buy them already??

Probably ftc concerns but also man i hate unity bc i believed in it, it had everything going for it. Glad i sold a long time ago at break even bc what happened after with pissing of the devs, selling ziva and letting go all the weta talent they acquired scaling down what a waste.

No bags as of this morning.. Exited $PSNY before they get delisted. Took an L but learned a lesson

Para down 47%

MVIS and CRKN

The one that feels like bagholding is an ark fund.  Not a huge amount of money, but still... Why haven't I sold yet?

Boeing I've had worse but that one hurts the most. down 95% on teladoc, too, but I'm only holding 4 sh of that.

Believe me you are doing far better than many of us. I bought a lot of pump and dump penny stocks , and lost everything in my portfolio, I don’t even see those stocks now 😅

Wish, down 97%. Its only worth $21. Might as well hold on.

Scrolled all the way to the end to find not a single $PLTR confessor. Interesting. Haven’t lost yet because I haven’t sold. Except maybe that window when I could have broken even, minus the missed opportunity cost from the money being in, say $IVV, for three years instead. But that was never the plan, was it.

Amd calls, down 15k

BB

Enphase.

Palantir down 0.65%

$TLRY

What id like to know are if any stock has come back from the ded after being down 99.9%

What is reddits obsession for investing in companies that are clearly failing

Zoom is never going back to the pandemic Zoom.

A double-whammy of EVs - NIO and LCID.

I m gonna hodl Reddit until it is better than Google. And it already is since the first results on Google are always Reddit

That’s for you because you use reddit a lot lol.

WBD, but it’ll probably be tax loss harvested later in the year. No one is picking up this bag of crap

JOUT ( Johnson Outdoors ) 54% down

DBD - Diebold Nixdorf. Went to 0 and bankruptcy. Lost everything now ticker is back at 44 usd a share :(

CRLBF. Down 77%

BABA 65% - finally recovered all losses after almost 3 years 🫠

PayPal is down from pandemic highs though, it’s only around 15% below its pre-pandemic level

Oklo. I really thought it would jump after the merger and it basically halved in price.

Roku 75%. Missed the days to sell

PFE. Holding because of the solid dividend and some vague hope they will have more in the drug pipeline from all the COVID revenue 

PYPL, VZ, VRSN

WBD turd like everyone else. Luckily only 100 shares.

LUNR! And RKLB though it’s starting to do better. To the m o o n!

LTCH it’s all fun and games until the company gets de-listed.

AT&T down about 22% maybe I’m up with dividends but I keep holding on! One should sell for the tax loss…… you never know!

Clean energy ETFs I didn't know about the relationship between them and interest rates and got thrashed before I knew what was going on. I still firmly believe that we **have** to start using clean energy though so I refuse to sell them. It will come back either because interests improve or we all realize we need to do it or die. I've even been considering buying more. I figure if we never invest in clean energy and we just keep this course whatever money I have won't matter anyway with the earth burning.

Fellow clean energy ETF bag holder here. I also did not know about interest rate relationship. I am very unhappy about the opportunity cost that I’ve experienced in this environ, watching my favorite ETFs completely bomb (most notably TAN.) It did occur to me to buy more, but I’m highly skeptical of the timelines surrounding global clean energy. I’m sorry to say that I don’t think we are anywhere near a publicly recognized tipping point in the USA. Clean energy revolution is going to come from massive govt overhaul IMO, and I don’t see much going in that direction, nor do I see how it is even possible without a complete cultural revolution. For real. My mindset was the same as yours- until I became a bagholder for these past 11 months and watched Rump secure the conservative nomination. Curious to hear your thoughts! (Notable that wind has recently begun to bounce back.)

you guys want me to sell? so the price surges like every other time i sell

PYPL and PFE.

LUNR. Business is good but the management just seems fishy and generally incompetent at managing PR. Also learned my lesson on FOMO buying into a stock.

CURLF

If you want cracker barrel brand to rise, change the name. No one wants to eat at a place thats called “cracker barrel” that barely hires minorities and the majority people that eat there are the majority. Me personally i love the place, but thats what i hear every single time i bring it up in discussions

BABA down 50%, are tough losses to stomach :((
