Because it's completely irrational and akin to worshipping a cult, na na na na na na na na leader?
At least it is for me.

There are a set number of shares outstanding like any other stocks, but the number is usually in the hundreds of millions or more, is that what you mean? Also, for pennies in general, they report average volumes across multiple days. I see this stock has 192M outstanding shares. These are not for investing, it's day trade fodder. % gain is great. $ gain not so much.
I have a canadian grower stock I bought over a year ago as a sub penny and now it's a real stock listed on NYSE at $7. But to get here it went through multiple reverse splits and my millions of shares is less than 100 qty. I made my initial investments back buying and selling quick back then, so I sat on these remaining shares to see how far it goes. Not great for long term.

Can you imagine what would happen if he said they are backing a CBDC?Everyone just waiting on Powell in an hour.

Is today a good day to make a foray into UVXY? Powell about to go on? Fireworks?

Wouldn't the fact that the creator intentionally avoided having a single person become the face/focus of it make it decidedly UN-cult like?

Im in it for long, so I would still buy.
I actually bought twice and contemplated the same thing on the second buy. I went back to what I was told way back in the day "Dont try to time the market"

Q&A session is still on-going, overall very optimistic view. Streaming live on Yahoo finance.
Generally, two target indicators discussed: inflation target is 2% for end of 2021, it's at 1.8 now trending to 2.2 for end of year. The other is unemployment target of 5%, currently projected to be 4.5%. These indicators would accelerate rate increase, but for now no increase expected for 2022, probably none into 2023 unless there are significant changes in the projections. Powell acknowledged though that "improvement" in unemployment % ignores the fact that there are 9 million less people in the work force as compared to February 2020, pre-Covid, as well as businesses that are gone now because of Covid and won't be replaced.
Did anyone catch the beginning of this Q&A session, the second question raised was not answered and Powell said there is an announcement coming on that in the next few days so he will not address it. What was the question?

On the one hand,it feels feckless to recommend a stock that is already up 100% YTD. On the other, I do think this stock and a couple of others that also have exposure to helium, have some more room to run. Look at Royal Helium: RHCCF. That thing is up 57% YTD. Or American Helium AHELF up 27% YTD. I wouldn't invest in these stocks because other than having the word "helium" in their name, they aren't going to be legit players in the space.
BUT......again, hate to be cliche - rising tides lift all boats. I think news on the horizon is forthcoming that will bolster these little stocks and if I had to pick ONE to put in my portfolio (or kids' portfolios, which I have done) I'd use DMEHF. They can actually produce the gas.

RIOT would have been a nice day trade. I had a buy at $50, didn't quite get there.
I wasn't listening so can't say for sure, but wouldn't be surprised if the question had to do with the tax deadline being moved from April 15th to May 15th. It hasn't been formally announced yet but supposedly someone leaked the change earlier today.

Grabbed 500 shares of ARDX. Hoping to see $9 bucks a share pre PDUFA date (April 29). I think they get approval, but I dont see much of a post approval run that would be worth the risk.

treasury meeting probably wouldn't go into tax related issues. I just found it, it was regarding SLR Supplementary Leverage Ratio.
this could be significant to the banking sector in the next few days depending on what the announcement ends up being.

I'm guessing it's an extension of this:
The Fed and other agencies last spring allowed banks subject to the supplementary leverage ratio to exclude U.S. Treasury securities and deposits at Federal Reserve banks from the measure of capital relative to assets. The exemptions, set to expire March 31, were meant to free up resources to make loans and other purposes.
While the central bank is still weighing its options, Powell indicated to members of the Senate Banking Committee that an extension is on the table. The deadline is also approaching on the relief provided by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. and Office of the Comptroller of the Currency.

Hope that means I can delay my payment until thenYES! Reports saying May 17th.
Makes sense. I was just guessing since it wasn't formally announced yet.
I would say yes but can't say for certain. When the filing deadline was extended to July 15th last year they also extended the payment deadline so I would assume that they would do the same this time.Hope that means I can delay my payment until then
Me too, and I am assuming that's the case just like last time. It's only a month, but, any delay kind of reinforces my position should they come after me for not making quarterly tax payments.Hope that means I can delay my payment until then

Was a very good day doing exactly that for me. I ended up adding +300 shares (selling 1,500 and buying 1,800). The crazy ending where it dipped below 205 was comical and that allowed me to be a net gainer on the day.

It's a fun theory ... but doesn't explain how 8m calls were triggered last Friday ... and the stock price nose dived Monday. Should have been quite the opposite I would think.
Somehow the shorts are able to move the goalposts again and again?

Took that one to the gut but still beat the market nicely. It’s a long term buy so I’ll keep rolling. It’s still growing nicely and should grow 25-30% next year. I guess expectations were higher or it had been up nicely already.

Biggie might have a problem with that since I wasn't, strictly speaking, any part of it whatsoever.

I don't know, it was the first thing that sprang to mind. I guess gold falls into the same category as it's only real value is because there's demand for it since chicks dig shiny stuff.

Many were. He stepped out on me with a guy from work for that. I probably deserved it.I thought it was a dual effort.

There was a point where it got over $30 again that I was regretting selling it at $28 or $29. Definitely good with it now. Unfortunately, investment wise, I think the best outsider in the truck market will be Rivian. It's not going to be public at an early enough stage like these others. That said, I think most of the other outsiders will be nothing in a few years.beef said:

From my understanding that's exactly it. Shorts can just keep kicking the can down the road. Even if there were 8 million calls, from the pdf it seems like it really T+13 days once to settle the shares. So it's really a matter of who can hold on the longest shorters (hedge funds) or retail. Judging by the size of the bank vault and tools available, I'm starting to think shorters will win unless the good guy funds show up soon. Not sure retail will have much money left after the stimmy.Bossman said:
