Maybe too late for the initial WSB launch. Trading in the $18's premarket, closed at $14 Friday.

UGG.  placed my order last night and was asleep at the open.  So, I'm in at $19.50.  Damn east coast bias

Down about 10% but I like BB long term, so, I got that going for me.

All.....if you have made 100%+ in BLDP.....sell half. Get your original investment out and ride the rest on house money. If the stock pulls back into the 20’s again.....buy more. 

I am personally up 130% from original buy. I will get my original investment out. 

This stock will pull back. And if it does not....no problem. House money now.

Here is where I need some advice or guidance.  I have invested in several stocks and ETFs the last couple of years -- some on my own and a few from this thread; BLDP being one of them at $22.55.  Because I am a newb, I am not investing large amounts of money in any given equity.  Of the 15 or so investments, there are 4 in the red and several that are 50%+ in the green (one ETF 200%).

How should the amount of money invested impact your strategy?  Like if I sell off the one ETF, it is only a $200 gain.

 
Darn nice day today - up 6.5% in my stock account.

Trimmed some stuff to capture some of my costs + profits from some risky stuff and will re-deploy some of that in some more stable stuff as opportunities present themselves. 

On a side note, my 13 year old son's $100 finally cleared so I could invest it, so I put it in 3 stocks he chose. Ending up spending $94 and he was up $31 today. He'll be excited when I show him tonight when I get home.

I try to always think in terms of percentage return. Large or small, if I'm up 100% I'm looking to sell half.

Though with CYDY I waited until I had a quadruple to sell a quarter, because it was a special situation

Yeah, what a weird story.  Divorces a fairly well-to-do money manager and a few months later, fake marries an even richer money manager, but that money manager is notoriously cheap and wanted her and her kids to pay for half of his monthly nut to live in a Beverly Hills mansion - which included landscaping bills and utilities - but since she didn't have $37,500 a month ( :eek: :eek: :eek: ) to pay for her half if she REALLY married Salzman (would have nullified her spousal support if she remarried) they had a fake marriage and she continued to suck the blood out of Left.  Left - furious over the ruse - decided to do what any man of his petty pedigree would do and started shorting TSLA out of spite.  No need to tell you how that worked out for him.  He also got denied in court to lower his monthly obligations to his ex-wife, so we're talking about a man many times scorned and probably nearing what I would have to believe is a breaking point.  

Not too many details on the passing of Ms. Left Saltzman, but a poster on Reddit found the death certificate from LA County and the cause was listed as 'hanging'.  :(

If Lifetime hasn't picked up this script yet might I suggest we toss our hats in the rings to write it?  I mean, the heavy lifting is done.

Is he interested in managing my account

 
Imagine being the management at Pier 1 that decided to shut it down and file for bankruptcy.  They could have just limped along for another few weeks and in this market they'd probably be a $25 stock right now and could raise enough to get them through to Covid-23.

Lol, so true. The one common denominator in all these ridiculous pops has been companies kind of in distress. I’m assuming short interest, lack of institutional ownership and no real longs, so easy to jump in and control/manipulate the price. We’ve been talking about this game since lockdowns started. GNUS and Hertz, followed by the most random crappy Chinese companies all with declining revenue. Before the recent ones, all were small caps due to price declines.

It’s interesting to watch, not sure how long it will last.

Probably makes me more inclined to take some profits IF you have other places you want to put that money. If not, and if you still like what you're in, I'm probably more inclined than some others to ride winners.

It's simply amazing how much this market has become a game.

The stock market has always been a game. What's important to remember is that it's actually many games... shorts, longs, day traders, pension funds, options traders, hedges, etc are as dissimilar as baseball, football, ice hockey, badminton, putt-putt golf, and Formula 1 are from each other... but all these games are being played out on the same field at the same time. You could have a great buy-and-hold strategy going on but you'll get sideswiped by some teenage day trader on a pump-and dump. Like trying to turn a double play and you go from Tinker to Evers just fine but then Chance gets run over by Jim Brown and your catcher takes a javelin to the chest.

Same, I need to get me some as well.  Need some help here though, can you buy SPCX holdings like a normal stock?  

Really interested in jumping in on CCIV, CRLBF, STLD, TPGY and FSR.

What EV stocks are best to get into?

What's EVGO?

 
Wallstreet Bets has declared war on short traders.  Steve Cohen Point 72 had to bail out his protege who got dusted by trying to short GME

Tomorrow Wall Street Bets (WSB) Army is eyeing AMC NOK CLVS and KOSS.  I already planned on buying 1k of AMC and NOK at 7am I wil take a position in CLVS tomorrow also.

Very nice. I need to start checking in here.

 
I did more reading on this Gamestop squeeze and very disappointed that the brokerages attacked the retail investors.  Today GME flew out of the gate touching 150.  It came crashing down because brokerages increased margin requirements thus reducing retail investors buying power.  That is total BS retail already has enough obstacles now brokerages changing margin on the fly.  No Bueno

 
I've been watching wall street bets for over a year at least.  maybe a few years.  Just remember.  2/3 of WSB gets burned.  GME is a once in a lifetime occurrence imo. That being said.  

Ive been in PLTR for a bit

I do think they will pump NOK

I wouldnt put more than a black jack bet on GME (and im just passing on this bet).  I'm not smart enough.

I am in BB due to I think thats going to do well when people cash out of GME.  But I also think the company is legit.

I think safer ideas come from guys here like TODEM, CHET, SIFFION, etc.  not pump and dumps.

I'm also an idiot with more balls than brains.

Pouring gasoline on Wall Street Bets is a bad idea

GME stock sent me to the moon today. Some of these might be worth a gamble.

AMC and BBBY are my picks.

I like AMC.  I heard last week it was below $3 a share and thought about buying some.  Then I smoked up and reminisced about dating as a kid and all of the different girls I brought to the movies.  They were fond memories.  Of course I then forgot to actually buy any. I see it was up 25% today.  Do you still like it?

I don't get why BBBY stock is where's it's at.  A year ago they were getting creamed by Amazon & Kohls.  What have they changed to justify the run?

I think I read that A lot of people were spending stimulus checks there.  They just missed shopping.  No idea if thats true or not.

I am with you I love high risk.  At the casino my motto is it is only clay when its on the table.  You need to get it to the window to turn it to cash.  Prior to reading about the WSB I was already planning on jumping into NOK and AMC.  I also do like BB always have. 

 
Before a few weeks ago, 1/2 of Wall Street Bets was showing losses on a screen shot.  The losses get upvoted just as high as the winners.

Wall street bets are going to target more shorts soon. From the  recent success of GME, In my opinion It's inevitable. I'm getting in while they are cheap.

Cathie Wood added 91k shares of WKHS to there current holdings of it....Looking to start a position tomorrow maybe 100 shares.

I would be a bit more careful of ARK buys now. They've gotten influx of way more money than they ever had. In some cases they can't own more of some companies, so they could be spending that money on similar companies that might not be their favorites. I don't remember people being high on WKHS itself (USPS keeps delaying decision, not hitting very small manufacturing goals and lots more competition) although it does own some of RIDE.

Anyway, if not for the influx of money, WKHS might not have been on the ARK radar.

 
ETSY getting an upgrade from a Elon Musk tweet. The market is rational...
