Like your recommendations. You guys cover sectors (commodities) I know so little about that I usually stay away. Just out of curiosity, what's the initial buy-in to be a client of yours? I'm not looking to diversify out just yet, but its something I think about for down the road.

Thanks GB, I appreciate that. We are definitely eclectic.
We can only cater to accredited investors, so that rules out a wide pool of people. But of course, not FBGs who are just BIG ballers!

Why this Short Seller Rule is important for Gamestop:
1. It forces shorts to short on an uptick.
2. It will be in place the rest of today and all of tomorrow.
It essentially makes it way harder to short literally greenlighting GME through Thursday's close.
It comes off Friday so don't be surprised if Friday finishes in the red. If the stock behaves like the last few weeks, Thursday makes an attractive exit point (and Friday is a great buy in point because the calls will need to be covered in +3 days starting on Monday).
In the perfect scenario, Friday drops 10% from the Thursday close, which would trigger Monday as an SSR day as well.
Good luck all. The road will likely be rocky, but I think this trade is setting up nicely.

On the one hand, this Roblox game has turned my 3 little kids into zombies who have started using the sort of colorful language that would have resulted in my dad putting Tabasco Sauce on my tongue. We have to limit their iPad time and remind them that calling your sibling a "Damn Dumb Stupid F" isn't the sort of thing that will endear you to teachers or other parents.
On the other hand, this thing consumes millions of kids just like them that given their druthers, would play this 24/7 and make George Carlin blush with their language.
And really, I don't even know what the appeal is. It's like Minecraft, which I also didn't understand. I know they can get gift cards to Roblox to spend money on.....things, but I still have a confuse.

Isn't it just a game that they will eventually stop playing as they get older? And then they'll eventually join facebook and see riveting things like what is bothering Aunt Nancy today.

The youngsters aren’t on Facebook. They think, and are right, that it’s for the olds.

I feel like the biggest rube on Earth buying something up that much. Will probably do it this week anyway.

My kids, nieces and nephews, have no desire to be on Facebook with their mom and grandma, and also make fun of Aunt Nancy behind her back on Roblox.

a gaming platform for kids. Its online so you can use most devices to play it. Its never ending (unlike our games where you gotta beat a final boss) and the kids buy into their currency for things like character upgrades, cars and stuff.

I saw it was an ATH and I stopped myself. I've learned since April not to buy at ATH. Things always go down. Definitely keeping an eye on it.Up 882% the last 52 weeks

Here is a stupid noob question. I'm using Fidelity Active Trader Pro and am viewing the charts in OHLC. During the last hour or so, the GME bars are spiking all the way up into the 300's when the open and close marks on each bar are in the mid 200s. Tell dummy what this means please.

Excess ain't rebellion.
You're drinking what they're selling.
Your self-destruction doesn't hurt them.
Your chaos won't convert them.
They're so happy to rebuild it.
You'll never really kill it.
Yeah, excess ain't rebellion.
You're drinking what they're selling.

The snarky comment I was going to make was "Where were you Jan 1, 2020 when the stock was like .16?"

Im in for a medium-ish position with a cost basis of like $67. I got 64.50 at the open and bought twice that at 69.73. I think this is a long hold. I also dont mind averaging down if it dips in a few months.

H and L are the opposite ends of the actual session range (300s for GME) while O and C represents simply the open and close ends of a session (200s). The session time range is arbitrary based on your setting.

I am going to wait on RBLX. Most of these big IPOs lately have been their cheapest a week or two after IPO (ABNB, SNOW, U, DASH, PLTR, etc) before eventually ripping.
I am OK missing it though because my kids are still into Minecraft so I won't score any cool points with them for owning it.

I’m pretty sure I’m flipping mine today. I have $U which is similar and I like it better anyway.

Agree. If it drops in the coming weeks I will continue to increase my position. However, if it goes up, I doubt I will add. I had a bunch of FOMO on this as I believe in the product and dont mind paying a premium to get in early.

I'm staying away from Rblx. It's a game and kids will flock to the next big thing. It was huge in 2016 and only came back because of the pandemic.

Hmmmmm. That mostly makes sense. But doesn't seem to fit what I'm seeing. Thanks though!

it might look funny for GME today because of the halted sessions, my 5 minute chart was stuck showing wrong amounts for awhile. generally this is what's called the candlestick chart because the main bar (candle) is the open and close of a session and the thin line (the wick) is the actual high and low of that session assuming the high and low were outside of the open and close. If the high and the low were inside the open and close range, then you'd only see the candle and not the wick.
