That's exactly what I'm doing but 3%

FCEL is probably just riding the overall market rise today but it's had a nice bump the past 2 days. Puts me up about 14% since I bought

FCEL up 17% this morning. I expect some profit taking. I'm up 35% but not selling any

Motley Fool speculates the bump came because others in the sector are starting to show earnings, so FCEL is due for an upgrade (even though still losing money).

Too many men behind the curtain when it comes to stocks like this for me, but long-term prospects certainly look good.

Yeah, same here. Currently 90% is my 401K through work, 8% is my Robinhood account, and 2% is Bitcoin.

Anybody have any opinion on Ravencoin? I know someone that started cryptomining it and he has been pretty successful financially. Kinda intrigued to jump in while its cheap. But I don't know much about it and what's the best place to buy it. I'm not into doing the whole mining thing. Likely will just stick to Bitcoin.

FCEL with a 19% jump today, up 49.37% since I bought. I'm probably going to sell a small chunk and lock in some profit, let the rest ride. I have it in a ROTH IRA so no cap gains.

I wrote an article about an online poker room accepting Bitcoin many years ago. Did some research, thought it sounded interesting, and thought about investing maybe $1,000 in Bitcoin when it was around 10 cents. My wife forbade me, as I had previously lost money on an online poker stock and she figured this was the same. I didn't think much of it and never invested. Of course, if I did invest, I could be flying to space with Bezos or something right now.

Someone did make me feel better about it, though. He reminded me that there was no way I would've held long enough for Bitcoin to get up to like $60,000. There's a good chance I would've sold at $1 or lower, as the return would've been massive. Now, I might've sold enough to get back my initial investment and just let the rest ride, but I did feel better when he assured me that I probably would've sold long before the price went crazy.

Well, you made 19% today. Congrats.

Another 20% today. Overall I'm up 68% on my FCEL investment. I sold some today but only about 20%. I still have plenty to let run (hopefully).

She is. In the "she's probably got herpes but what the hell" category for me now.

I got into BTC and ETH at $500 and $12 respectively. It's testing my ability to hold at this point but I'm still in (I invested small amounts so sadly I'm no crypto millionaire) :lol:

There is definitely some profit taking going on, which is expected. I'm in at $6.38 and I sold 20% at $11.00 but I'm hanging on to the rest.
