Every post mentioning HOOD, newest first — the thesis as it was built and revised
-
29 Jul 26
Explains his $HOOD trade in detail: bought at $30, sold roughly half around $75 after it ran to $150, reflects on his philosophy of holding through drawdowns and habitually selling too late
-
01 May 26
Monthly portfolio update: best month ever at +48.49% return. Raised cash by selling POET, HOOD and CROWD; only buy was FTC (Filtronic). Wants to add to FTC (currently 4.5% allocation) but is waiting for a better entry. 45% of holdings report earnings next week, especially TMDX and FLNC, his worst performers now under 3% allocation each — earnings will decide whether he trims or adds. Plans to move toward a more concentrated ~12-stock portfolio and expects more trading this month.
-
30 Apr 26
Confirms he already sold his HOOD position, and the stock is now trading exactly at the price where he exited.
-
30 Apr 26
Argues HOOD's prediction markets push is unlikely to build sticky, wealth-building customers and that the company merely copied the idea rather than building it themselves.
-
30 Apr 26
Explains his philosophy of letting winners run rather than selling too early, noting he still doubled his money on HOOD before eventually selling.
-
29 Apr 26
Clarifies that Kalshi and Polymarket are prediction market platforms while HOOD is a trading platform, and doesn't think the synergy between the two business lines is working.
-
29 Apr 26
Continues the Hood argument: YoY growth comparisons ignore departing traders, and new features must create real synergy with customers rather than just being bolted on; believes international markets fit Hood's strategy but prediction markets don't.
-
29 Apr 26
Agrees that IBKR is winning by simply adding markets while Hood adds unrelated features.
-
29 Apr 26
Reflects on having sold HOOD at $70 (still trading near $72), criticizing Robinhood's recent product direction (prediction markets, fancy chairs) as not customer-driven, contrasting with IBKR's expansion into new markets. Believes HOOD can find its way back but only if it refocuses on customer needs.
-
24 Apr 26
States he never trims — he either believes in a company fully or sells it entirely — and mentions recently selling $HOOD and $CRWD without fully reinvesting, effectively trimming his overall portfolio exposure.
-
22 Apr 26
Says he has a similar experience with Planet Labs, up +900%, plus a couple of +300% winners; reflects that a strict automatic risk-management framework would have capped his gains on the big winners even though it might have helped elsewhere (e.g. Robinhood).
-
22 Apr 26
Reflects that stock-picking is his greatest strength but selling is his weakness, citing HOOD (bought $30, rode to $150, sold at $70 after noticing thesis cracks) and CRWD (bought $240, rode to $550, sold at $400 after AI disruption signs); asks whether to double down on his strength or fix the weak spot.

-
07 Apr 26

-

-
27 Feb 26
February portfolio recap: -15.6% for the month but only -0.9% YTD after January's run-up. Attributes the drawdown to a valuation reset in high-conviction AI/software names, volatility in high-beta growth holdings, and resilience from semiconductor/foundational holdings. Made zero trades in February, reaffirms conviction in his 16-company portfolio, framing inactivity as a deliberate choice not to interrupt long-term compounding.
-
16 Feb 26
Discloses his portfolio: Robinhood, Palantir, and Planet Labs, all bought early (HOOD at $34, PLTR at $30, PL at $4), plans to keep all three long-term. Also says he'd rather get drone-industry exposure via Amprius than Ounds.

Names HIMS and HOOD as his biggest losers so far, asks the other user about theirs.
-
10 Feb 26
Robinhood fell 8% on a revenue miss despite record yearly revenue; the business is shifting from risky trading fees toward recurring revenue via 4.2M Gold subscribers, retirement assets, margin lending, prediction markets, and the Bitstamp-driven international expansion.
-
06 Feb 26
