I wonder what it’s like to be an employee at one of these companies — it’s a slow week at work, and all of a sudden you see that your equity is worth 30x more than it was a few days ago. Hopefully the folks at Urban One were able to cash in while they could.
It's only $3.90 on Thinkorswim. I don't have the balls to buy it and hope for a pop tomorrow to match UONE but maybe one of you degens does lol.
Not me. These stocks could drop 50% at a minutes notice. If you didn’t get in early in the huge run up day, the risk isn’t worth it.
How did you get access to the 2045 L fund already? I thought they weren't available until July.rascal said:
Geez, that’s rough. You may want to leave the speculative stocks alone and just find long term bets or index funds and let them run.
I did buy a very small amount - 25 shares - with a cost basis just under $9. I guess at this point just hold and see what happens.
That is no doubt good advice for the majority. I do have 80% of my Roth in index funds but I do like to use the other 20% on speculative, short term stocks.
Wow great!Don't Noonan said:
It just had to catch up to UONE, which is down pre-market. I wonder if that was planned as well. Most RH aren’t going to be familiar with different share classes. If you worked on getting UONE up yesterday then I’d bet you knew about UONEK and had plenty of time to shove some money into it while it lagged way behind.There was, I believe, some discussion of whether UONEK would be up this morning.
Good question. There may be a couple stocks that are legit potential like CYDY has been, but a failing retailer or a bankrupt company or a Chinese company hemorrhaging revenue?
Yep. I used to see it all the time in crypto when pump and dump groups would would do crap like this. Wish I had the balls to buy UONEK last night lol.
If I were ever able to catch one of these shuttles at departure I wouldn't certainly not want to hold it overnight. Around 3 pm or sooner I think I'd be pulling the ejection handle.
Honestly, I'd bet most of us are small time with a few Titans (Chet, todem, others who advise or do this for a living). It's a fun way to gamble if you're being smart about it, which you definitely seem to be doing.
They are an excellent operator, but time and tide are not with them. Twenty years from now, most of America's malls will be either data centers or Amazon warehouses.
It’s Boiler Room, just online instead of cold calls. I know I find out well after the fact so no chance I’d invest knowing I’m not one of the first ones in. I’ve done well on FMCI and OPES as my first truly speculative plays outside of CYDY but they are at least going up due to a company basically having an IPO. As you said, definitely going to be some wealth transfers and lessons learned. I have no idea how the SEC would figure it out and contain it, although in today’s world of AI/big data, you’d think patterns and users would be pretty obvious to figure out. I just don’t know what RH asks for when you open an account.
If you could setup the entire mall, that would be a crazy awesome arena. Paintball even. You’d have to have all the displays and junk in stores.
I wonder why some of them aren't turned into mixed used buildings. Turn 3/4 of the stores into apartments for old people. Then they can still get their walks in, have restaurants and shops nearby without having to go outside, etc. Seems like a no brainer to me.
They wouldn't need all that parking, part of it could be redeveloped as a pitch-and-putt or something. Let's get rich!
Oh for sure. Put a 9 hole course on there and then charge extra for the condos with a course view!
No ####. I bought FMCI and OPES last week based on the posts in here. Up $3500 in a week. Keep running. The analyst target was mid $20s this year for FMCI. If these two get around there, it’s going to make it harder to hold till the changeover.
I saw a talking head on CNBC discussing the failed merger with Taubman and Simon. Taubman trades under the ticker TCO, and this person was super bullish on them and not so much on Simon. She made a strong enough case that I bought a couple hundred shares of TCO recently. I don’t plan to hold it for a long chunk of time though, for obvious reasons.
got into both as well...though not nearly as much as I wish I would have...
Yeah, this is down about 65% from where I bought it a couple of days ago. I'll put a trailing stop loss of 3% to see if it recovers at all today, but I'm sure it'll drift around $4 for awhile now. Lesson learned. I think besides trading the onion, my funds will be going into a long term mix. Set it and forget it, DCA in, call it good.
