I wonder if hedge funds are going to have to liquidate to deal with their margin calls from the GameStop pump. Maybe WSB tanks the market??

Saw an article about pessimism over delays in the stimulus and Europe going into more of a lockdown but sometimes those articles are more about trying to explain/create a reason.

It was a huge swing. Stocks that were up larger (over 10%) now down in a matter of minutes.

WTF. I was up over 2%. Now down almost 2%. Definitely should have dumped APPN when I was thinking about it!

I read your earlier post about trimming and I just sold 4 stocks and added an additional 40% to my cash position literally right before the bottom fell out.  :thanks:

I don’t understand at all what’s going on with GameStop. Just a robinhood pump?

Yes. A coordinated attempt to raise the stock price and take away the ability to cover their short calls thus squeezing the shorts and making the stock go up even higher. Remember the CYDY bear raid? This is the people pissed about short sellers doing the reverse. The idiot from Citron even put out a video goading the GME longs.

Lol, I didn’t. Just that one stock fit my I think it’s run too far profile, should have just sold and not asked advice! My biggest mistakes this past year have actually been selling too early.

Love it. 

 
Geez, down 1% now. If I finish even I’ll be happy. Still glad I am 99% long term so stuff like this is a blip but damn, makes you feel like if there is any legit bad news for the market that ####’s going to drop like a freaking rock.

 
That market drop made UVXY my top holding.  Trimmed some of that.  Did a few some buys adding to NRGU, BNKU, THBR

 
Whelp I panic sold a couple of things as a hedge in case the market kept going.  Not stoked I sold half my ABNB as that one had run a lot.  It bounced back $10/share within like 3 minutes of my sell, whoops.

Last time the market had an extended leg down it started like this.  Every couple days a huge sudden drop that bounces right back, and then all of the sudden a few days later the huge sudden drop just kept going.

Gonna hop into GME at open. It's at $65 right now, but all the talk on r/wsb are GME mooning because of gamma squeeze and infinte short squeeze. Let's see if I can hop out at the right time. Wish me luck.

I started a position in $GDRX on Friday. Seems to have settled after the IPO run-up and subsequent plummeting after the Amazon pharmacy announcement. Earnings in March, will add my second tranche then.

Well, again it’s no $GME but up over 12% today. Think I’ll be hanging onto this one for a while - I think it’s kind of misunderstood.

@TodemAny thoughts on TOT Total SE?

The dividend yield your seeing is not sustainable. Figure you can see that cut to 5% from the 8% your seeing. I am not bullish on oil stocks for the most part. They are pure income plays and sustainable dividends is all I look for to temper expectations. The growth of oil is over and has been for a while. They have low debt. The issue is revenue. Their revenue growth is negative 25% plus....and 70% of their revenue is used to pay out the dividend. 

So swim with caution in that one.

Some one should tell him....hey bud this is the other side of capitalism. You win some....you lose some. 

Again.....if your going to make big bets....they can come with big consequences. 

Someone should tell him about the Duke brothers. LOL. “Turn those machines back on!!!"

Thank you sir. You still a believer in XOM, or is even that 1 time to move on and take profits?

Long term they will be fine. I fully expect the big players like XOM and CVX to diversify into the hydrogen fuels to add to the nat gas portfolios. Both those stocks have mountains of cash standing by to make strategic acquisitions as we as a planet move towards greener fuels. 

XOM is fair market value here.

Love it that it's this Andrew Left from Citron research is in the middle of it.  Guy seems like a complete dbag, hope he got wiped out.

Is there a summary as to why this guy became a target of reddit?  I'm not very active over there so I don't really know the genesis behind why they are going after Left on this one name.

They were targeting GME before Left became involved.  He just became an easy target once he stepped in front and targeted GME, given that he was already a douchey market manipulating phoney who was jumping in on the opposite side of them.

Honestly, I fully expect a drop in the next month. 

But I'm doing nothing about it because I know nothing.

Yep, Left made the mistake of posting his own videos last week on why Gamestop was a terrible investment, goading them further.  Love it though

I'm just laughing at it all, because GME was one of the stocks I got into a year or so ago when I was thinking about doing more individual stocks. Shoulda kept it I guess? 

But man, that's an impressive pump and dump. Up to $144, now at $70.

Is he a phony though?  Hasn't he made some decent short calls over the years?  I know he comes across as a smarmy doooooosh but I think he's had some good calls over the years, right?

He's made a ton of short calls and a couple of them have been right.  So basically around the same numbers as if any random person were making guesses, he just happened to get right on a big one early on and got a lot of publicity.  He's not like Muddy Waters or Hindenburg where he's actually released real investigative reports catching Nikola rolling a truck downhill.  His "reports" are just the same kind of crap you'd see on stocktwits.  Similar to his GME one where he had a "breaking report coming soon" and then made a video about how the fundamentals don't line up for GME being a $60 stock.  No duh.

Basically he got lucky on one early on, and now he just makes a living off of shorting random stocks, posting about it, and typically he has enough followers that his post alone will drive down the price of the stock enough in the short term to make good profits on his short position.  He doesn't do any ground breaking research or anything and he was short TSLA, Shopify, Nio, and a lot of other big runners early on.  He has way more misses than hits despite having the huge advantage of being able to affect the stock price with his following (although that ability is dwindling by the day as more people catch on).

It's also funny how he always talks about Citron Research as "we" like it's some kind of big company when it's just him in his basement.

Yeah, that kind of crap is obnoxious.  Believe me, I've seen his ilk many times over the years.  

I worked for a dedicated short seller for 8 years.  Generally, when it was discovered that a company was cooking books or something fraudulent was going  on, the first inclination was never "Hey, we should release a short report".  It was:  1)  Check the borrow.  2)  Cork the bat and swing and 3) To the extent fraud or cheating was something that could be proven, a call placed or a letter was sent to the SEC.  

Short sellers can be scoundrels, but many of them are some of the brightest minds on Wall Street and can ID phony reports far better than your average SEC employee.  This Left guy doesn't seem to be one of those bright minds; just a huckster who is looking for a quick score.

His ex- is "married to" Alan Salzman, who made his billions as an early investor in Tesla. But they had a wedding without filing for a marriage certificate, so he would still have to pay alimony. So Tesla just keeps sticking it to him.

Guys like this should know how risk laden shorting is.  Max is a double.  Minimum is unlimited losses.

RE: RIDEW

I couldn't get TD to turn the "Send" button green to redeem now.  I'm thinking I may have just got stuck getting a penny per warrant now???  I only had 20 left with an average cost of $8 so no biggie...

All.....if you have made 100%+ in BLDP.....sell half. Get your original investment out and ride the rest on house money. If the stock pulls back into the 20’s again.....buy more. 

I am personally up 130% from original buy. I will get my original investment out. 

This stock will pull back. And if it does not....no problem. House money now.
