Aren't all CEO or BOD stock transactions cleared by or reported to the SEC in advance?  I'm sure these moves were public knowledge, but knowing what and where to look for that info isn't always easy.  Or not???

i believe selling is set in advance, they can buy at anytime

I just read this about the Telsa addition to the S&P 500.  https://www.cnbc.com/2020/12/18/traders-brace-for-wild-action-and-historic-volume-ahead-of-teslas-entry-into-the-sp-500.html

I don't understand how are this Tesla demand in the last minute isn't going to run the price through the roof.  Also AIV is dropping out.  Can't follow everything but a $5 stock paid a $10.15 dividend when it had been paying 41 cents a quarter.

Does it make sense to buy Telsa this morning and the put up an ask price a couple of percent over the price at 3:50?

Been thinking about how it will affect the S&P and it’s individual run up for a week now. Bought more when it got back down to 590 last week but not at this price.

Picked up 100 shares of cydy at open and sold 5 minutes later for a $15 gain.

Waited too long on TSLA but did buy one share for fun.  May add more later.

Not to be rude, but can you elaborate on your point.  I'm not following where this is leading.

they schedule their sells in advance but can purchase whenever they want. Was answering his question about CEO buy/sell. So all these top company advisors purchasing at the same time seems suspicious thats all im saying.

I own a lot of ZS and OKTA and should have bought CRWD. That’s all I got.

Might be good for AMZN as it seems that MSFT got hit as well by the same thing and maybe their software was vulnerable. Donny made sure they won that big contract as he doesn’t like Bezos, but if this stays big news it might help out AWS a bit.

Getting ready to send the next batch of souls to hades.

 

[Big League Chew]

so the ceo coo and director all bought shares before this news came out

9 Meters Biopharma, Inc. (NASDAQ: NMTR) shares rose 7.4% to $0.87 in pre-market trading. 9 Meters Biopharma shares climbed over 7% on Thursday after OrbiMed Israel BioFund GP Limited Partnership reported a 16% stake in the company.

It was a split. I knew it had to be something lol. It'll probably double now because tesla logic. 

 

[stbugs]

I think they did a 6 to 1 reverse split. Not entirely sure of the details but someone posted that or I read that somewhere recently. 

 

[BassNBrew]

The buys were below the market price from what I'm seeing.  The makes me think they exercised options.

It was more than 6, but you are correct.

 

[stbugs]

Only in this frothy world will a reverse split be seen as good. The fact that the Tesla split and S&P 500 drove 50% of the gains this Summer and Fall are truly amazing.

 

[McBokonon]

It's not suspicious, it's usually a bullish sign actually (except for those one-of KODK moments that are obviously nonsense.) For the one you posted, a purchase by insiders could (emphasis on could) indicate they are confident with how their trials are proceeding,.

ETA: plus what BezosNWine said about options

I'm behind on my retirement fund.  Got to scrap up every little win I can, especially with 30%+ in Amazon dragging me down most days.  Wish Bezos would take notes.

“However, there are billions more that will need to be bought by “closet indexers” that do not officially pay S&P, but nonetheless track the index. No one knows how much these “closet indexers” will buy, but it could be 50%-100% above the “official” $85.2 billion estimate.”

I think they will have some discretion and can buy over the next two weeks.

 

[McBokonon]

In order: SE / SQ / AAPL / ETSY / FVRR / CRWD / DOCU / U / PINS / MSFT

Some of those are due for pullbacks but I don’t plan on selling any of them. MSFT needs to get going again.

Well, this is already out of date. CRWD

 

[beef]

Just read an article talking about CRWD.

That's one of the larger holdings in the LRNZ ETF that has been $ for me.  I haven't dug into those other ETFs yet but I'd assume CRWD is a big part of them too.

Give it a few weeks. Amazon will jump up. I’m way ahead on the retirement fund just because of this year.

Got to speak with a Motley Fool consultant or whatever they call them. Was really good to bounce some allocation stuff off of him. Need to spend some time deciding what I want to sell and how much of some new stocks I want to buy. Stuff like this is definitely way more fun than working! So looking forward to not working.

Sorry GB.  It took the same route as PFE.  Buy on the rumor, sell on the news, buy on the over reaction, profit when earning are released.

2000 more trades like you last one and you can almost buy another share of Amazon

ETHE was a reverse split. I then mentioned how Tesla popped multiple times for the split and inclusion.

Ugh, made the mistake of buying that in my taxable account. Don’t want to lose $1k for taxes. Still like the company long term so likely just holding anyway. If it was in the IRA I would have sold it when it was high 20s awhile back.

I'm holding into 2021 too. They have a lot of marketing and new stores stocking their products to come.

If anyone wants to take it a step further with bitcoin, some of the mining stocks worth keeping an eye on as they should offer leveraged returns on this bull run.

I think we have another 300% to go on btc price. Any short term pullbacks are going to do be from the dwindling number of whales exiting their positions for a profit.  These coins are going to be bought by institutional investors with longer term ambitions.

Square's cash app, paypal, and grayscale alone are gobbling up bitcoin twice as fast as it's being mined.  There is an imminent bitcoin supply crisis looming.

Mining stocks in the order I like them for future gains.

1.  DMGGF

2. HVBTF

3. MARA

4. RIOT

5. EBON

And again, these are all going to be leveraged plays so the best time to jump in is going to be on a pullback.

I expect things to bounce around this range, but once 20k resistance is breached it's going to be off to the races.

DMGGF has retreated down from the .60s, what are your thoughts on grabbing it now that is below .50?  Thanks

Was really hoping the downgrade to PLTR would drop the price more.  I want to double my position in this.

I still have only a 100 share position in it when it dipped below $22. That lock expiration in February looks ominous. 80% of outstanding shares available to trade? Yikes.
