When I first started I did some losing and paid for those lessons learned. I think you'll start off much better than I did, and I'm anxious for you to transition from school to career and really see those figures grow.

I decided to pick up a bit of all three of these new SPACs on Monday.Just bought a little bit of IPOD.U for fun. Should be either an Apple spinoff or a new storage unit company.

Me too. Boring to park money in cash, pretty rare that these go down and plenty pop nicely. I’m being picky now though because there are so many. FMCI and IPOB worked out really well. I missed a few of the EV ones when they were cheap but I’ve got a good feeling on PSTH still. Just a complete gut feel that it will be a well known company.

Limited amount of companies in that range for PSTH to do a deal with, but some of them are exciting. Bloomberg or Stripe. However, it's already trading 18% over NAV and I'm not the biggest Ackman fan so I haven't joined in.
Yeah, it’s more than $1?above where I bought in a few weeks ago. We’ll see what happens but I like that it’s a bit bigger for some of the bigger potential names.

Welp, after analyzing tax rates and finally getting to today, sold most (113, still have 20 shares) of my ZM. Bought it for $67 and change one year ago on Friday. Sold it a year later for $570. Ridiculous, but I'm happy to bank that and free roll the 20 left. Nice to get to long term gains on that, OKTA, MDB and APPN today. October 16th, 2019 will be a day I remember fondly.

FVRR 
Was considering adding some if it had a pullback, but up 4.5% today
Was considering adding some if it had a pullback, but up 4.5% today I should have. I think I’ll buy some just because their results should be out soon. Cost me a couple bucks more but I’ll just buy the same number of shares I was going to buy last week.Blindly tailed someone on NWBO last week, beauty of a bump today.
I bought 30 shares when it was at $121 thinking I’d buy more and bam it hasn’t stopped its ascent. It’s been a great year this year but two regrets, not buying everything I didn’t own in March (FVRR and LVGO were both in the 20s then) selling TTD and TWLO (still own nice chunks) too soon because of the worry of a double dip and because I did own a wee bit much. 2nd one hasn’t been as bad because I did reinvest into other things. 1st one sucks because I had to buy LVGO at $60 (still great) and FVRR at $121. Would have been nice to have 400-500 shares right now, geez, like another two FSLY/ZMs.FVRR

HGEN hit a peak of $15.48 today but has fallen to $13.50 right now. Is it just because of the overall market falling?
I’m going to sit on the sidelines a little longer. Got a lot of extra cash now and was going to trim a bit in my IRA. Too many things like (not quite that jump) that could drop 30-40% without perfect results. I’m thinking unless there are amazing earnings that things will go down.
Bought 2500 shares today. I felt naked not having a risky OTC biotech stock. At least we know the data will be coming out at some point in the next week or two.Blindly tailed someone on NWBO last week, beauty of a bump today.

Got out of that a while ago. Glad I did, but you gotta have a crazy risky stock in your portfolio somewhere.

Kind of a hard question to answer. A stock’s price by itself doesn’t tell you if it’s actually “expensive” or not. But in their case, they’re growing, sentiment is with them, and they haven’t split their stock so the price is what it is.

Why? This stock looks much more like a tech stock than a restaurant stock based on how it has performed YTD.
Been watching that as well. Damn, I saw it at 124, didn’t realize it popped back up to 128 at close. They don’t report until 11/2 and it seems to be trending down. I’m not really looking to buy right now because I’m not a short term guy and I think there’s some downside risk with earnings. WING preannounced Q3 on 10/6 and they popped a little but are not down from there.
It’s actually down from right before it announced Q2 earnings and jumped. I was watching and of course didn’t realize they had earnings the next day. Seems like it’s close to a decent entry but again seems like it may give up a bit more.

It’s only up 35% or so YTD and their revenue growth the current quarter and last quarter are about that and that’s with COVID. It really isn’t way over where it should be.

It's up a bit more than that YTD, performing a bit better than other "peers" like Domino's and Papa Johns. YUM, which has more instore, has faired much worse. Overall, I guess I was wrong about how this sector is doing, still curious if there is a specific reason to going WING. I've had some good and terrible experiences with their franchises. Looks like they had a very interesting August.

This is kind of like the food version of a COVID stock though, right? It's basically takeout only (most Wingstops have like 3 tables in store) so I would imagine revenue is up because of COVID, not in spite of it.
They were still 20% dine in and Q2 was during lockdowns with a lot of people having stocked up, so it's not like they didn't lop off 20% of their revenue to start. They definitely have a model that works well for folks that were venturing out to pick up food. I was one of the folks venturing out and even I wasn't doing a ton of pickup. Q3, definitely, but at this point, most restaurants were open as well. They did open up new restaurants and the fact that they could handle it better than most is reflected in their stock price. Compare them to BLMN as a food business not well situated in Q2.

It sure seems that way. I’m holding off, want them to show me a quarter. If I have to catch them on the way back up, that’s ok.

CBBT = $0.0154. You've gained 120% since you invested 11 days ago. Good job!All you penny stock chasers - got an alert from an online acquaintance on CBBT - scooped up a small amount at .007 - he thinks it can run well into the dimes - don't know much about it but he has a great track record on these so if you want to throw some play money into it, go for it. Something about a letter of intent to buy another company (yes, I know that's usually fake news or misleading) and something about an ex Apple executive investing through notes convertible at .10 - sure, he could be a bad apple
