Awesome anecdote, MU82! I'm glad that everything is working out well for your family.

Your sentiment resonates with me: Your wife is working because she wants to, not because she has to. That is how you know that you're following your passions!

God bless you both....to be able to work because you want to.  Haven't been in that situation ever.  Some day.

Thanks, Chicos and Ska.

Truth be told, I had a pretty good job and planned to keep it at least until my mid-50s. But sometimes life happens ... and recessions happen ... and bad management happens. And so a person just has to deal with it. Obviously, I'm a fortunate guy.

Now back to the subject at hand ...

There was at least one poster who said this topic was worthless and stupid. I find it quite interesting. I like hearing about the financial decisions that my peers make because I always like to learn.

If that bothers anybody, stop clicking on the freakin' post!

If interested in a risky play, SNTA is trending toward it's upcoming offering price of $1.75 today. Now at $1.93.

If it drops just a bit more, I may in - with the intent of holding at least 18 months.

Risk / reward heavy on this one. Go for it.

Hold for a long while... unless you want quick $$$... $2.10 today. Up 8.8% since my post.

$$$$
Thanks for ruining summer, Canada.

Investing in individual biotech stocks can be extremely risky. At this point Synta is a lottery ticket more than an investment. The have been a serial disappointer when it comes to reporting their phase 3 results. The stock has lost over 75% of it's value since it's IPO.
They have zero revenues and like most oncology discovery companies an extremely high cash burn rate.

If their current phase 3 for ganetespib fails to yield good results, you are going to lose most of your investment. Sounds like you've done your DD and are fairly confident with this stock. Good luck!

Yep. Just like gamblers.  Only talk about their wins, not their losses.....
Have some patience, FFS.

If you're into these types of plays, there's a community built around it on Reddit called Wall Street Bets:

I get my fix just reading those folks, but I'm not much of a gambler!

SNTA to $2.42. +25% since my recommendation. Have yet another today up 9% in addition to SNTA's 8%. On a crazy run lately. $$$$$

SNTA is absolutely scary. Have been in & out (nh) a few times.
