Sounds like HGEN has not filled their trial yet and no EUA in the Phillipines.  What the hell was NP talking about when he said they had approval?   

Don't like the price movement with HGEN now, so much for 100% up,  settled for 50% up and sold my calls.  Still a good payday and didn't take very long to get there, good to lock in the profit regardless.

Still have HGEN shares so hopefully good news still comes.

For you gamblers (literally and figuratively) I present:  Playgon.  PLGMF is your US ticker.  We're in this one pretty heavily and I've followed along personally.  I have a crush on one the female dealers but that not why we here!  Actually, that may be why I'm here.  

Anyhow, another penny stock that could fit the bill for some of you.  $0.47 cents a share currently, I think this thing could be HUGE.

or go to zero.  NOBODY KNOWS*

*We're betting on huge.  No pun intended.  Outstanding management pedigree, best in breed technology and did I mention really hot dealers?  

I'm in for my AAPL dividend that's just sitting in my Fidelity 401K account gathering dust.  1100 shares - lets go!

It would be interesting to see what provides a better return over the next 5 years:

1) All the daily wheeling and dealing (BnB style) and analysis and picks from these threads; or

2) Dump 50% of your portfolio into AMZN, and 50% into AAPL, and instead spend stock analysis time on PHub.

My guess is #2 in a landslide, while you also get lots of quality time with Lana Rhodes and Kimmie Granger.

I know everyone gives back in their own ways, and I know not everyone is comfortable giving to someone they "know" from the innerwebs. But I also know many of the people in here have had banner years, and there are few causes I respect as much as this one. What bigbottom and his wife have done to help other people in their son's memory is remarkable to me.

If you can swing it, and if you're so-inclined, please check it out. If you can't or have your own ways of giving, no sweat. Not trying to pressure people. Just spreading the message for those who may not venture outside this thread much. TIA.

Thanks man. Love me some bigbottom (literally and figuratively) and had no idea his family went through this. Happy to donate.

Been waiting all day for a dip to get in on SI, doesn't appear to be happening.

#2 certainly results in more rising and falling of the portfolio.

Airbnb slowly descending into the range I would be interested. 

I know a lot of people use the service but is it really better than VRBO? When I've searched I've found better deals on VRBO with adequate service.

 

[Nigel]

LOL...bought it at $100 and watched it drop to $50.  Day traded my way out to only a 20% loss.  Good luck to you, just be aware it can crash in a hurry.

Your tale of ETHE woe inspired me to take the additional 8% it ran today and get out at $144 with $3K in the win column.

I just bought some RVVTF at $.55.  It has been up and down a lot.  Feels ready to go back up.

I don’t want to mess up my sweet .21 price per share though.

Fidelity guys, is there a workaround for buying shares priced under $1?

 

[Don Hutson]

It's sinking.  Fast.

RVVTF just hit $.50

Been looking for a spot to get back in. Might be time.

I’m gonna wait to see if it comes back down to the 30s. 

 

[Don Hutson]

There isn't any good news.  The run up could be a lot of things.  It'd probably be smart to do like Capella and wait for the 30s.  I bought at $.55 thinking I could flip it at .56 to .58.  It sinks a penny at a time which is 2%.  Rough.

Fidelity guys, is there a workaround for buying shares priced under $1?

I just went into Fidelity and put in a limit buy for $PLGNF @ 47-cents/share. Went to preview order and got three caution messages regarding Canadian pink sheets. Followed on with the process and was able to place the order. No commission either which was surprising.

ETA: I know I said there was no commission fee, but if the trade is processed and a commission fee is assessed, I'll live with it.

I've never had a problem other than the occasional hefty fee.

Yeah, I've been following it. I sold about two weeks ago when it finally turned green after months of nothing. 

Will probably wait a bit and see what happens.

 

[JoeSteeler]

I buy sub $1 stocks quite a bit...are you getting an error message?

ETA - I bought 500 PLGNF this morning with no issue.

 

[Don Hutson]

They might not allow market orders.  Did you try a limit order?

 

[Nigel]

ya that was the issue, just did a limit order and worked fine - thanks all.

 

[Don Hutson]

I just sold at $.53.  No bueno.  But I don't want to risk owning it overnight.  I should have waited for it to fall to $.50 to buy.

Commons. I haven’t really tried to figure out how warrants work yet.

My understanding is..

In the case of $BFT, you’d buy the warrant at $3.12 and 30 days after merger you can exercise 1:1 for $11.50. So right now you’d be looking at $14.62 per share. Thinking that’s not great at this point, probably was better before the spike. You can also hold the warrant for 5 yrs unless the company forces you to exercise and there are rules for that.

My wife alerted me to this one. She bought some commons and I bought the units. I prefer to play the units on the SPACs. Seems like some tremendous upside in this one, some run already.

Buying LAZR here at 22.75

Son of a ##### copied my post from when we sold:

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/luminar-could-own-100-lidar-144723752.html 

Basically talks about the back of the napkin analysis I did on the stock price compared to revenue based on a $1k sensor price. My thought was that it was overvalued unless it was on every single new car out there which seeing as how there are other technologies like cameras and that LIDAR is most useful in highway situations.

It could be a short run for me.  Kind of hoping for a quick rebound, overreaction to too much selling today.  Or I'll cut my losses if it drops more and I think about buying back in around $15.

Same, don't have the stomach for much of a drop, will bail quickly. Just looking for a pop then I'm out.

Damn, today was a really nice day for my 5G stocks. Some of my old mainstays struggled a bit so I lagged the market a little but these helped. AMD still running which helps my XLNX. Still at a 10% discount as well. Adding in the discount will be a nice 60%+ gain for 6 months.

BTWN continuing strong after hours. I think this is the one that makes us rich.

What is this all about. 

It's a SPAC that Li and Thiel are involved in. Looking for SE type plays and are rumored to be negotiating with Tokopedia. 

 

[cosjobs]

It's a speculative crypto growth stock so comparing it to traditional banks is probably not wise.  You would need to believe in the proliferation of crypto(which has already started with PayPal etc.).  I personally believe that the proliferation has already begun and is here to stay.

thanks, got a pretty decent position on SI

I think some of us are over 50% AMZN.  I am.

I’m 25% and it’s almost my “safe” play.

AMZN and AAPL may look great now, but how long do companies really stay on top? If you're going to set it and forget it you need to be a lot more diversified.

Actually that was my thought process when I began reacquiring after selling earlier in the year between $3000 and $3300.  Two quarters ago when the eps were in the $4-$6 range I thought the stock price was a little rich and there were much better opportunities in the market.  The last two quarters Amazon doubled that eps to $10-$12.  Now you can argue that was priced in, but when you look at 4th Q estimates you'll see a low of $4.51 (this person should be fired on the spot) and a median of $7.09.  

My price target is also $4000 if earnings stay in the $10-$12 range.  I plan to sell one share at $3500 and then each $100 gain after that until I run out of shares.  Any time it dips $100, I'll add back a share.  I'm over a 25% allocations right now which isn't where I want to be longer term.  I'd like to whittle that down to %10.

Of course all this hinges on Bezos getting off his butt and getting some work done.

AAPL had me concerned, but I really like their entry into the fitness arena.  I think both them and Lulu will put a dent in the Peloton growth.

You can always go ahead and sell now so you don’t have to worry about it anymore. I’ll probably always want a nice chunk long term. Fairly diverse with the streaming like Netflix, advertising like Google, cloud, e-commerce and whatever else like EVs (own part of Rivian). It’s kind of my conservative S&P type investment and if it does better than that it’s gravy. Maybe over time I’ll reduce but while it’s growing 30% or even 20 or 15 a year, I’ll keep a chunk.

Sears would be a pretty good comp.  Established mail order and the "consumers bible".  First big box.  Expanded into insurance, real estate, auto repair.

eta - Actually Sears might not be a good comp as it's stock has risen significantly over the last 3 months unlike Amazon.
