As far as I know. Haven't seen anything otherwise. That's what makes this interesting to me. They are merging with a company with revenue already in the pipeline. 

An article about it.
Don’t mean to be a Debbie Downer but isn’t there going to be a large dilution of shares? How is the acquisition happening? Also, why would a company with all those revenues get acquired for what seems to be nothing.

Oh, I did find the once the acquisition occurs we’ll get current on SEC filings comment.

Just smells fishy. I’m not invested but if this acquisition is the golden goose, why did the giant just hand it over to Jack for free so Jack could up list his stock?

 
5G stocks have been on a nice tear. XLNX and IPHI getting acquired. QRVO and IIVI and QRVO up nicely today. Wish I added more IIVI when I added to my IPHI and QRVO during the drop. Should have checked the earnings date. Also, was going to add QCOM and they reported last night. Just too many stocks to keep track of all of them. That’s why I am amazed at how much you guys can day trade.

 
Quadruple down on UVXY? 🤪
I’ll be honest, I’m thinking of trimming some of my stocks that have run up well this past year. Waited too long on SEDG, but the pop today might be a nice way to exit for a 136% gain since they lowered Q4 guidance. Would free up a nice chunk of cash. Same with MDB, OKTA and ZS. Have a lot of those and TTD. TTD reports tonight, but all 4 are 10% or less below their ATHs. I could trim the IRA as I can’t sell the taxable shares without an extra tax whack. ZS and SEDG are IRA only so no issue there.

Definitely feels frothy like a couple weeks ago. A little less so but around a 10% jump in 3 days.

 
ST about to lay the beat down on some Fidelity rep.
Lol. I sent a secure message, didn’t feel like talking to anyone. Basically told them Schwann wasn’t dicking their customers and that it seems as if they were skimming the fractional shares. I left out the Superman 3/Office Space references. I’ll let you know if anything comes out of my strongly worded secure message.

No idea.  I'm a novice at this kind of stuff so I'm learning as I go. I just got in due to someone recommending it here. And it was so cheap it was worth a gamble. 

I have basically $80 in this stock. I'm not a big player like all you millionaires.  :lol:

Lol, I forgot it was only a tiny amount. I was interested because it was a funky read. It would be like Apple giving Microsoft their new iPhone so that MSFT could benefit. The mention of CCBT’s low market cap but no real mention on how they are paying for this acquisition. Let’s say they are paying 2x revenues. That’s $28M for a $5M market cap company. Anyway, it’s always interesting to read some of these puff pieces but when you are talking OTC stuff where the company basically admits it’s hasn’t been filing SEC report, that’s fun to read.

Just like all these risky things, it’s more about where you enter and when you get out. The chance that these OTC stocks really make the big time is rare so they are like those TVIX type ETFs where you don’t actually want a long time position because they will decay over time.

 
STNG up 7%. Market must like their earnings this quarter.  Also paying a 10 cent dividend which equates to 5%. Next up DHT which is surging too

 
Been a rollercoaster of a week for my alt energy plays
No kidding. I think I’m about 3-4% off my ATHs back when I sold my ZM when it peaked on the 19th. Felt like the floor was dropping out and then last 3 days have been an almost 10% jump back. Crazy. I don’t feel as frothy just because of the dip in between but might be smart to start thinning a bit more since I was thinking that before.

 
This is a very interesting summary of why the markets are reacting like they are right now, especially for those in the UVXY train. She's a pretty good one to follow as well. 

 
So my trading account has been restricted one time before for 3 months.  If I make another violation for selling without the funds being settled, will my account be restricted again for 3 months for the one violation?

Just enable the limited margin option 

 
Think I'm going to stay Bull and not make any adjustments yet.  Election is looking like it will ensure a Washington gridlock, and no major changes.  Vaccines will come.  Stimulus will happen.  Could see a few roadblocks like a Govt. Shutdown on Dec 12th, or delayed stimulus until Jan/Feb, but nothing that will shake WS up for too long.   

 
That'll eliminate the good faith violation?
It can help prevent future ones.  

Not sure what type of account you have, but full margin would eliminate that.  That's not an option on fidelity retirement accounts.  I'm not exactly sure how the limited margin works, I just know that I wasn't as restricted when trading.

My only concern with all that is the stimulus might not happen for a while.

Loving my clean energy stocks today. Fave QCLN up a nice 7% (always good for an ETF) fwiw, today pushes the YTD to 100% return. Again, rather nice for an ETF while many individual will be higher.

10% (currently) arbitrage opportunity on the IPHI acquisition worth it? Is MRVL upside there from $41-ish? Breakeven all the way down to MRVL around $35. Obviously would have been a better play yesterday. That doesn't make it a bad play today.

 
RLFTF is now at .437.  But in the Swiss market it is .33 chf which equals .364 USD.
Thanks for the heads up yesterday.  I can't buy it in Fidelity, but almost doubled on the shares I bought for my MIL yesterday.  Unfortunately I didn't pound it harder, too scared it was headed to zero.

Agree.  Can the market hold off for 3 months?  Or will a 3 month delay potential cause some long term effects.  Powell seems to be adamant that more is needed and he'd like it yesterday.  

 
Jeez can't believe I sold all my Roku around $145. 

Now $240 and climbing.

ETA: $250 sheesh

I don't get roku, they are head to head with Apple, Amazon, Google and offer nothing that those don't.  (including Xbox/PS5).  

I have three roku devices from like 2012 timeframe, I'd never in a million years migrate back to their new product, would go to a jailbroken fire stick in a second.  

I fully expected them to go the way of WDTV.  That's why I leave my decisions like this to indexes.

I see $237, but yeah, glad I added a bunch in March after it dropped well under $100. Almost tripled.

TTD flying after earnings. Man, I had more of that than anything besides AMZN. It’s still my second largest holding and I’ve done well on what I bought when I sold that, but damn, I wish I just kept it all. It’s over $730 now, bought it at $176. If I had held it all it would have covered kid 2/3’s college. SMH.

LOL. In the time it took me to type it, ROKU is now down a little. WTH did they say during the call?

Apple is pretty much out of the game now. Also, appreciate your thoughts (I’m Firestick) but they trounced earnings/revenue estimates tonight. Maybe they’ve run a lot so even the beat lost its luster. I have no worries based on their growth rates, including revenue per user continuing to climb.

Well I prove everyday that I'm a moron, that's again, why I don't take positions on individual stonks, nor am I advocating for/against anything except showing my ###.

Nice. I’ll be honest, I use Motley Fool and they’ve been pretty damn solid because they do a lot of tech recs which is my thing. Tech is about as widespread as you can get but more high potential growth versus value. ROKU is definitely better positioned than WD was. They’ve acquired an Ad serving company like TTD so they aren’t just a “player” company and I think it also helps that they are agnostic towards the streamers so easy for them to strike deals with content providers. I might not stick with them forever but they’ve done well, especially considering I bought half of my shares at their bottom in March and the other half the week before that.

 
Looks like ROKU bounced back up. Pretty nice earnings night outside of AYX (only have 40 shares, might dump them, not a big fan anymore). ALRM, TTD, HUBS, FTCH (BABA partnership), ROKU, APPN and SQ all up nicely.

 
HGEN had been down but now they’ve inked a deal with DOD and are already mid 12 pre market. 
 

Nov 6 (Reuters) - Humanigen Incsaid on Friday it had entered into an agreement with the U.S. Department of Defense for testing its drug candidate as a potential COVID-19 treatment following positive response in patients hospitalized with the illness.

Shares rose 13% in premarket trading, with the company planning to file for an emergency use approval in the first quarter of 2021 either following interim data at 75% or at study completion.

The agreement, which makes it a part of the Trump administration's Operation Warp Speed, is in collaboration with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and also aims to get an emergency use approval for Lenzilumab.

The agreement will support an ongoing late-stage trial of the drug. (https://refini.tv/3jZtFpX)

Lenzilumab has also been selected by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to be evaluated among the promising COVID-19 agents for its ACTIV-5 "Big Effect Trial", the company said. (Reporting by Trisha Roy in Bengaluru; Editing by Sriraj Kalluvila)

They also put out this press release today, HGEN should get a healthy bump I think
