Green. Markets can close for the day right now
Anyone still playing this one? I was in it pretty big pre/post SPAC. Been a while now.This just in, Lordstown Motors won't sell trucks to Russia....
or pretty much anyone,
Lordstown Motors CEO Dan Ninivaggi said the company will initially only sell vehicles to a small amount of pre-selected businesses. Embattled electric vehicle start-up Lordstown Motors expects to produce and sell up to only 3,000 vehicles through next year, the company announced Monday.

Not at all. I got out of SPACs and probably should have sold the last of the stocks that started at SPACs back in November too.Anyone still playing this one? I was in it pretty big pre/post SPAC. Been a while now.
Used to like the looks of their truck, or at least more than Rivian, CyberDelorean. But then Ford, Chevy and Ram came out with theirs and I'd much rather own one of these.
Ended my RIDE about the same time you did.Not at all. I got out of SPACs and probably should have sold the last of the stocks that started at SPACs back in November too.
I think I made a couple grand on RIDE. Pretty sure I sold at $29.50 so seeing it at $2.71 makes me feel good. Not for anyone still in it just that at least one call I made in late 2020/early 2021 was good! LAZR was the other one around this time that I got out very well.
Ahem.And now it looks like they are only down about 2%. At this rate, we'll close green on Monday, gotta be at least +2%. I love extrapolation.
Apparently the Risk On switch was flipped today. BLDP, SE, EBS, QS, and since it is basically correlated to other risk assets even crypto are all up pretty big.
Is it that with all the uncertainty due to Ukraine the feeling is that the Fed won't raise rates 4-7 times now? Something else?
Sold these today for a $700 gain. Unfortunately think there's going to be another opportunity to buy back in lower.Added 2 more at $3.00 each. Couldn't get a sub 3 order to fill earlierOn 2/18/2022 at 1:51 PM, 2Squirrels1Nut said:

When you have a geo political event like this.....it is impossible to call any kind of bottom. So much unpredictability and especially with a unstable guy like Putin.One theory is shorts covering driving the rally . It can happen with a gap down https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/put-sellers-incredible-feb-24th-intraday-reversal.
I unfortunately didn’t get any money in, waiting for things to go lower. The market can do anything, but I’m thinking (hoping) we see some more downside in the coming weeks as another opportunity.
As always I’d love @Todemopinion on if he thinks that was the bottom or not.
Big beat. Up 16% premarketLooking for a big earnings report from TGT in the morning. I really like what they are doing philosophically as a company (better employee pay and benefits; improving sustainability), and it seems like they are way ahead of the curve with drive up shopping.
Down 20% last few months and ready to bounce back.
I find it really interesting how companies can have very similar results but different stock movements. Target missed revenue and forecasted softer earnings/margins for 2022. The only beat was earnings and from one article that was due to a $2.4B stock repurchase. I definitely wouldn’t call their actual results a big beat. Really surprised they are up this morning considering how the market had been pummeling any miss lately.Big beat. Up 16% premarket

Being up 11% with this:
For 2022, the company is now expecting revenue to grow in the low to mid-single digits, while adjusted EPS grows by a high-single digit amount.
PEG of 2 to 3 including share repurchases. Under 1 is good. PEs are always lower for low growth. Single digit earnings growth due to stock repurchases should get a really low PE.P/E (TTM)14.70
I think a better culprit is counterparty risk. Because of the SWIFT cutoff, somebody(ies) could be holding things they are not getting paid for, ever. That uncertainty is weighing on financials, I think.I'm assuming the financial sector selloff is from Russia fear and some continued uncertainty with rates.
Didn’t C just say they had almost $10B in exposure? Found it:I'm assuming the financial sector selloff is from Russia fear and some continued uncertainty with rates. I get the rates, but that seems like it should have been priced in which leaves just the fear. And how much exposure does BAC, JPM, PNC, GS, USB, MS, WFC, C really have with Russia?
Seems like too good of a deal on some of these bank stocks that I'm starting to wonder if I'm the fool for thinking they're great buys...

Lehman moment ‘not likely’

I just bought a big position at $135JPM a good buy near 52 week low?
I like JPM and other financials long term and have no problems buying here. I don't know that I like any one bank stock the best (check Todem's lists) so I'm sticking with ETFs that cover the top banks in the sector. I've had a few posts on BNKU today where JPM is a 10%. XLF if you don't want leverage. JPM is just over 10% in that one too.JPM a good buy near 52 week low?
Now at an even seven cents. Still think it will go lower.kevzilla said:If this is a 'risk-on' day, why is STMH down 24%? If it goes below eight cents, I swear, I'll do it.![]()

The only thing I am buying now in stocks is placeholders. Meaning one or two shares so its in the portfolio with a baseline price and easy to follow/track. I'm hoarding cash and have some fairly aggressive positions in UVXY, SQQQ, RWM, SWN; all are down slightly, except UVXY which has been extremely profitable. I sold 20% when It hit $20 today. At this point I am at least 2/3s cashThoughts on DFS? It's held up near highs much better than most of the other banks. I still have a decent chunk left from covid lows I'm considering trimming a bunch, thinking it could have much further to fall than the other banks if the financial sell-off continue.
If I were to start a real positions in financial right now, it would probably be MS, GS, or maybe WFC, But I am waiting.Thoughts on DFS?

Everybody give up on SE? Looks like another disastrous earnings.

Same old story. Nice growth in everything except profit. Though it seems like most of the tanking is from the headwinds they guided for in gaming. Stock actually initially pumped off purely the numbers they released.
Nope and no they weren’t.Capella said:Everybody give up on SE? Looks like another disastrous earnings.
