Nailed this one though.
I'm sure there are others we could move in and out of every year for some easy money as long as we buy a month or so in advance.
~CHDN gets a bump prior to the Derby every year
~Gasoline at the start of summer
Any others? Electric companies prior to summer?
Shh, I’m hoping it keeps dipping a bit. Still have another month until the next earnings report. Kind of figured the CV testing would fade away after this year anyway and this pill won’t really impact that at all.
I should have just kept all the damn shares I bought in early 2020. SMH.
It’s tiny compared to SHOP so real chance it could be a better long term investment. What’s in the article because my only worry at a first glance is that at it’s size, it’s only growing 18% without the bump in FX. That’s about half or a third of what SHOP is growing and they have 40 times the revenue. Does it have something better and is it gaining traction? That’s what I’d want to know. WIX is kind of in the same arena and I’m watching that because it’s price has come down so much because their growth has slowed, but even then I think it’s still higher than 18%.

The effects of this enduring...errr... temporary... inflation seems to be dragging us down. We'll see when this worm turns, but it may be a while. I've gotten myself to very short duration fixed income as I expect long bonds will be hurting for a while.
All my stuff is truly long term, so riding it out. Got plenty of cash and enough long term gains items to weather a storm for a long time.

Correct. EOY isn't too far away. Lock in gains to show your clients how awesome you are, buy back December/January.
Of course we could all stop using Apple, Google, Amazon etc., too. lol
What do those numbers mean? You get 100 shares per option, correct? Does that mean you are paying $6.50 to own those shares if they get above $85 before the end of November? For instance if it hits $100, would the options be worth $1500 for $6.50 and if it doesn’t hit $85, you get $0?
Just in case, I just applied to add options trading to one account. I don’t see myself diving in a ton but if what I said above is the case, I’d be very interested in adding a few options for a little lottery ticket.

He bought the option to buy shares for $85. As far as P&L you can look up calculators online to generally see how this works out - his breakeven is going to be $91.50 at expiration.
It means that I think FLGT will rise in the next few days and so therefore the value of the options will rise accordingly and then I can sell them for a profit. I have no intention of holding those calls until expiration or of owning the stock.
Some background: the reason to do this is that one can "invest" less than $700 to buy a call which represents 100 shares. If I outright bought shares with $700, I'd own like nine of them. Less principal, much more leverage. If the price rebounds to, say $85, which is where it was recently, then those calls will be worth $10 or $11 (meaning, $1000 or $1100), netting a gain of about 50%. Owning stock would yield a gain of about 10%. On the other hand, if the share price remains where it is or drops, then the calls will be nearly worthless.

Thanks. The growth in the article looks decent, but they just had Q2 2021 earnings and it was less than 20% growth, which is a big deceleration. SHOP on the other hand, even with a much larger base, grew 57%. I assume that's why VTEX dropped about 10% after earnings and another almost 10% the day after. I'd just want to know why there was so much deceleration. I think GLBE may be more similar to VTEX even if it's a partner of SHOP because I think they handle bigger brands as well. GLBE has a bigger market cap, bigger revenue and is growing even more (almost 100% in Q2). Definitely worth watching Q3 and Q4. I own some SHOP that I bought last March, unfortunately just a small investment, so only 6 shares because I'm a dummy. I have some GLBE as well, but still a half share, maybe a bit less.

You might take a look at DPLS. It's a penny stock and it's been dripping down for a few days. Over the last few months once it hits this level it seems to bounce back up over .10
Keep in mind - I am an extreme novice at this. But that's what I've seen on this one. I've got a large chunk of this I bought for less than a penny, but I've been trading these dips and bumps for the last few months.

I'm stuck in a boring work call and am looking for something else to play too. The only only one I've been adding to recently is TQQQ. Might be more of a 2 month ST play than 2 weeks or 2 days. DKNG under 49, but already added there.

Anyone else track RVLV? It seems to bounce between 60 and 70 quickly and regularly. Any swing traders on it?

The $CEI saga has been an interesting follow today. Stocktalkweekly has the firm who put out the short report on Twitter live. They are trying to get the CEI CEO next.

Two big FinTwit Furus called the stock out at sub 0.50. Ran up to almost $5. Lots of tweets about the thing mooning, carbon capture is going to take off, lots of people probably chasing. Short report comes out today with lots of big concerns if true. Tanked back down to $1. Lot's of halts down and now currently halted for news.

I have been holding 10000 shares of DPLS and then buying 20000 more at $0.095 and selling those around $0.11 or $0.12. Done it three or four times. So far so good.
