stbugs Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 4 minutes ago, hooter311 said: Miners have been using the bitcoin they mine to buy more miners. That explains some of the exponential growth. I guess, but there’s also likely way more competition now as well, right? When BTC was at $10k, it wasn’t as lucrative, now you’ve got a reason to compete. Look at some of the current mining stocks in here, some of them weren’t even miners before like SOS. They just announced a month ago they are getting into the business. I think it’s far safer and maybe better in the long run to own Bitcoin until you actually see earnings reports from some of these companies that don’t really have any length of financial history to see how well they are doing. Are they buying new company Lambos or are they worried about shareholder value? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ref Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 You are all correct about Greyscale and premium. In the past it’s been way higher than 7%. better question.

Grayscale still the best direct exposure. 2 Canadian ETF's have been approved in the last couple weeks, a us one might be around the corner. Gbtc is only trading at about a 6% premium which is a fraction of historical trend. I think even an etf will trade at a 2-4% premium. 2017 bull run had gbtc trading at a 200% premium.

This is the funny stuff. Apple needs a supplier and will likely pick one or two and announce in 2 years that iOS 15 now had LIDAR functionality and cut the suppliers out! What’s funny is that all LIDAR companies pop and there’s a bunch of them. We have a ton of that in this market where lots of the companies in one market will fail as not all succeed.

Al Czervik Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 26 minutes ago, FreeBaGeL said: LAZR VLDR IPV etc all popped today on news that Apple was in talks with LIDAR suppliers for their self-driving car. Went down the rabbit hole reading about LIDAR yesterday. Really like $CLA which recently announced merger with Ouster. Here is a good write up from a guy who is a fan of the company. Apparently the Ouster product is digital vs the analog products that competitors have and it will be much less expensive. Ford family has stake in Ouster but will still use the $VLDR product on their testing vehicles for now. Another interesting one is $CFAC which just announced a deal with AEye. The AEye approach is very interesting. They combine LIDAR with object recognition so a vehicle could tell the different from a parked car vs pedestrian. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which might be fine if it was 1. Or 2. I think they're up to about 10, and I'm not a fan of that approach. This was a close call.

Sand Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 1 hour ago, Sand said: BTW, on the Todem list EXC today has dropped a good bit and is at the bottom of it's channel. For those looking for a good utility (3.6% yield) this might be a good entry. Yes, it's boring. As a corollary to this the long bond is in full crash mode. Holy moly it has plummeted this year. This is part of the drop in this one - it's interest rate sensitive. If one thinks inflation will spike then holding off on this buy may be prudent. I'm not smart enough to know how badly utilities will be affected by this trend. If the divvy gets really juicy I'll close my eyes and buy more. Very glad I rotated out of TLT, though, - saved myself easily 10k this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
