I just sold. Not quite $28, but between NNOX and RIDE ended up with a nice almost $4400 in 2 months. Not bad at all. I’ve still got a couple short term stinkers but overall these SPACs/IPOs/biotech-healthcare short term era have done well this year. Definitely not a pro at them like some of you guys hopping in and out but especially with CYDY, this thread’s been pretty profitable, about $50k this year.

I think if I paid attention a bit better I probably would have made a bit more but lots of good lessons too.

That's awesome!  Some of these stocks I watch much closer than others but I'm still far from any pro on them.  I like to watch the charts and see what patterns there might be to get in/out, but there are certainly a lot of flaws in any reasoning I might have to take action. 

I often get in too soon and have to buy down, and then get out too early and miss some gains.  I just try not to never beat myself up.  Follow Buffett's saying, "If you made money, you did it right".  Better to say I got out too soon, than to say WTF didn't I pull out then!?   Lose money and maybe have another mouth to feed...

Countdown to a reverse split for UVXY?  :lmao:

I always love looking at the 5 year charts on decaying stuff like this. You always think it’s just completely whacked until you realize how many reverse splits there must have been.

These charts are a good example for buying those extended warranty/service plans. They may work out in a handful of cases, but for the most part they are a money pit for the people that buy them.

I’d say good luck, but I never did that for the people playing the No Pass lines at casinos!

A little different imo. I don't think kev's only invested in it. He's pulling for the market with the rest of us. This is just insurance/a hedge. I believe. Otherwise I'll murder the sonofa...

I know, I was just kidding him. That said, that chart really does show how insurance makes the house a lot of money. It makes sense because not many people could afford to pay for disastrous events, but it’s still way more profitable for the house.

I sold half of my RIDE, good enough for now.  Will likely look to buy some back if it dips dramatically lower again

I've been having that debate this afternoon. In a good enough spot where I can sell half and free ride the rest (not taking into account the taxes). But looking at Nikola's market cap this price can still double from here and be below NKLA - and this is an actual product/plant.

Yeah, I use it as a hedge. Rather than carry A big cash balance, I’ll stay mostly invested and own a small amount 

 
It is an expensive hedge, to be sure. Not at all sorry everything else is up, even though I'm mostly cash and missing out like a mother. I remind myself I was mostly cash in February too.

 
Has anyone looked at or used the M1 trading platform?  I understand this is not for day trading or high frequency trading, but more for long term investing.

I'm going to hold off and see if it does drop lower.  $4.76 a month ago and since then earnings are down and dividends were cut.

Just nibbling here. However at a PE of 5 or so 4.76 was just a stupid gift

I'm a big believer long term. I like Big Data firms in general. I like them more than most for two reasons. One is that they aren't just AI based, but AI and Human based. I think it's nice to think that we can just let AI go off on it's own like Skynet but I think a better solution is having the AI work in combination with human knowledge and input. I think that's a shorter leap and can be used by both govt and corporations more quickly than trying to automate AI completely. 

The second reason is that the founders have a vision, have a lot of control of the company and don't seem to care about Wall Street that much. I like that approach for a small, growing company.

One of my biggest flaws as an investor is that once I know I want to own a stock, I rarely wait and watch it and buy at a “good” price. You can totally miss stocks if you wait, but often times you can find the sweet spot of entry. I’ve basically convinced myself that PLTR is an eventual double from here, but I’m still trying to balance that emotion with a wise entry price. Having said all that (sorry, am buzzed and pontificating), is this news at all troubling for the short term stock price?

Spoiler summary: Soros bought 1% of the shares but didn’t realize that the company was involved in shady big data stuff, and that the owner is a Trump lover. Therefore, he’s apologizing and selling all his shares.

@BassNBrew How did we miss the CIIC SPAC and the news yesterday of the merger? The merger with an EV bus/van company (Arrival from UK) was announced yesterday and the stock moved a few percent. Today it was 23% up and another 22% AHs. Damn, that was ripe for the pickings yesterday.

Maybe short term, but that doesn't really concern me. I think they are balanced by the CEO who is much more Liberal. And I think they are both smart enough not to let it truly affect the business although they have stated they only work with Democracies, so they won't work with a China or Iran or North Korea. That's fine with me and should give people in the US more comfort. 

Soros can do what he wants but to me he is just making a political statement here, which should not be confused with a smart business decision.

Seeing as how you didn’t tell me you liked them so much back in October, would you think an entry now is smart or maybe wait for a bit of pull back? Seems like there will likely be one just based on the run up.

I'd wait for a pull back. Might be a decent one just based on Soros.

I haven't been following the SPAC news recently.  I now recently own Shift, Paya, Telmed, Advantage Solutions, that I'm trying to figure out what to do with.

Tattoo Chef down 6% today.  I'm starting to add back the shares I've sold off.

Yeah, if this was in my IRA, I would have sold mid 20s but I don’t get the drops. Their last quarter was solid. It’s weird but the pre-announcement almost hurt them because they went up on that. When they came out with the official numbers a couple weeks later (makes sense to be the same), they dropped.

I know people like to say the market acts rationally, but it doesn’t. Look at TSLA. They never really went down after they didn’t make the S&P due to the split news. They then went up again when they actually got in the S&P. That stock would scare me. So much non-fundamental stuff in the stock price. Their Chinese competitors appear to be doing well and there’s a dozen more competitors coming live soon. I mean cool for the MS analyst to act like EVs are some sort of platform rather than cars and trucks, but if in 10 years all new cars and trucks are EVs, what makes Tesla special?

I’m just a bit disappointed that you didn’t know about it! When I looked I realized what an easy win it was. The actual announcement on Tuesday morning got barely a blip. Up almost 70% yesterday and today.

I have noticed PSTH seemingly on the move up so I wonder if rumors are swirling. I still have a bunch of those SPACs but no idea when they will be announcing. Heck, some of them may have already and got no bump.

Somehow one share of Viatris ended up in my account.  I guess that was from my PFE holdings.

I increased my position on AYRSF by 4x yesterday.  They look like a long term player in the bud business.  When I think about marijuana in the US, it is only going to grow (ha ha).  Will it make it to big tobacco levels?  No chance really, but the market is still fledgling and prolly 5-10 years away from saturation.  Im in long on them with the expectation of them being one of the big players.

 
Shaved some LTTs and took a half position in TNA @ 48.01.  Wish I would have not been so scared of the election and got in 3 weeks ago.

 
Can someone tell Amazon that stonks go up? TIA.

Riding high on MRO, DKNG, and SE the past couple weeks. Last time I felt this good was about June 8th.

No joke.  Amazon getting it's #### kicked by department stores, Big Oil, tech, grocery stores, utilities, and even cruise ships.  That Bezos fool needs to stop playing and get back to work.

Love it. They continue to impress. Just waiting for the multiple expansion on MSOs and we’ll be sitting pretty. 10% position for me so probably won’t be adding unless some other things do well.

Um, you are stepping over a fine line there mister. I mean being upset at a 70% return for the year? How’s everything else you listed (aside from tech where Amazon lives) doing for the year? Bad mouth Bezos again and we’re going to have a problem.

What have you done for me lately?

Past performance isn't representative of future performance.

70%...big deal...I made that in bathing in Bloomin sauce in three months.  You could have sold your Amazon and bought Nordstrom at $12 a month ago and be up about that amount and then bought your Amazon back off the sale rack.  Elon scoffs at your pathetic 70% chump change.

What has amazon done for me lately? Along with some other stocks it’s almost doubled my net worth this year for one. I’ll take it. 

 
Was it this thread @General Malaise and I were talking about the cruise lines? I read last night that Norwegian has a 100k signed up for a test cruise run when they can send it out. Those things are going to be a buy at some point.

If you're holding for/through the playoffs, sure. If you're trading them 12 times between now and the end of their next two against  the Rams and Chiefs, maybe not so much. And if EOY is your measuring stick, AMZN is still the Steelers.

No, they might not win the SB, but they're not going to take an ETHE on your lawn either.

They might be, but it won't be me buying 'em and it certainly will NEVER be me riding on a floating petri dish again in my lifetime.

Low blow buddy.  That's the only thing I still own that's produced worse than Amazon the last little bit.
