Interesting piece put out this afternoon by Barrons.com

As with seemingly everything in markets these days, it all ties back to the Reddit Wall Street Bets message board.
No, we're not talking about GameStop (ticker: GME). Rather, Castor Maritime (CTRM). The dry-bulk commodities transportation firm was trading around 20 cents earlier this year until it was swept up in momentum as users of the message board recommended the company, sending shares as high as $1.95 .

The stock was identified as a potential gamble using methodology from recently published research paper -- from Alok Kumar of the University of Miami , Houng Nguyen of the University of Danang , and Talis Putnins at the University of Technology Sydney and Stockholm School of Economics . The group proposed looking at the average volume over 30 days compared to market cap as a way of determining what they called lottery stocks. "We assume that gambling in stock markets involves disproportionate amount of trading in lottery-like stocks," they said.
Castor topped the research group's list of New York Stock Exchange - and Nasdaq-listed companies that were potential "lottery stocks." Barron's added to a filter to the list to look at companies with market caps of at least $500 million and published the list in January.

We ran our version of that screen again this month. Castor Maritime topped our list this time.

Sundial Growers (SNDL), the cannabis stock, and Genius Brands International (GNUS), the children's media company, appear high on the list too. The top NYSE-listed stock was AMC Entertainment (AMC), the movie chain operator that, with GameStop , became a poster-child for the so-called meme stock revolution.

And what about GameStop itself? It's not in the top 20, but the methodology does put the video-games retailer high: Out of more than 3,000 stocks, GameStop ranks 128th as a lottery stock.

The stock scoring lowest in the lottery stock rankings was Google owner Alphabet (GOOGL).

These last 7 days have been bad. lost almost a grand and my portfolio will dip into red soon. Feels like a train is being run on me.
chill
stop staring at your portfolio so much
buy more if you can

Yea man. I already bought and ate the 7 layer dip off and on the last few weeks. Now I'm just in a serious holding pattern. Gotta wait it out and let some of my shit rise back up. (Hopefully)
 
I like Disney $DIS as long term play with my IRA, but any thoughts on how much lower will it go? My target was set to where it is now, but the market has feels that it may go lower.

You can’t time this market
It’s like Tesla
You keep waiting the next thing you know it’s going to be up again

If you are scared then dollar cost average in over the next couple of weeks
But start your
Position now if it has reached your target

$DIS just became a long term hold for me (bought it this time last year during the initial pandemic dip). It's interesting how high the stock price is without the theme parks being open/fully open. Maybe it's already priced into the stock, but if not... Could help boost SP. The streaming service must be doing its thing.

Either way dollar cost average...
