@B4YOU

tell me you didnt give up on BYND?

Still holding. Should have bought more when it dipped. I was worried when it dropped in the 100s.

I’m also holding SPCE. Both saw huge drops these last few months with big spikes today.

Definitely holding. Won't even think about skimming until $60 or so, and even then, I am only talking 5 to 10%, just to pay off the mortgage.

On another note...

Yeah the charts are almost identical. Same shorting algo?Yep! I could see it. You can see it. Why can’t the SEC?Citadel is hiding about 40,000,000 GME shorts as July 16 puts at $30. That isn’t happening. They kick their shorts down the road over and over. They also have over 150,000 GME puts...

I wish I had more confidence in this a few weeks back, because if I did I would have YOLO'd on June, September, and January calls instead of these boring ol' shares, but I think I schooled myself up on options at the exact right moment, and it has completed changed my portfolio. My profits on this are literally 7 times what they would have been if I stayed the course with having only shares for this squeeze play.

It was really a no-brainer move for anyone confident a squeeze was coming soon. I wish I had gone all-in, but of course, I decided to play it safe and keep a good bit of shares just to hedge in the event my analysis was off in some way.

AMC up 300% from exactly 3 weeks ago. Insane.

GME with the backdoor push to 250. AMC held the mini dip late to have a banner day.


But what happened with TSLA and FB just straight up in the closing minutes?

I am guessing a whale came in with big orders for those two specific stocks, because the momentum on them both halted immediately after that straight shot up.

Heico Corporation (HEI) Q2 Earnings and Revenues Top Estimates

Heico Corporation (HEI) delivered earnings and revenue surprises of 4.08% and 5.39%, respectively, for the quarter ended April 2021. Do the numbers hold clues to what lies ahead for the stock?

HEI earnings announced. Call tomorrow.

HEI was down a bit yesterday, but popped about 3% today.

Overall, the last 6 months has been mostly sideways.

Whoa. Citadel is long on both of them. With big positions. Some other people noticed some of their other holdings have shot up recently in the last 2 weeks. But those were small companies compared to TSLA and FB.

A way for them to claim margin requirements? All of this is nuts.

I'll just put this here and in the Bitcoin thread. Interesting.

Fake dip. I hope all the new apes know the drill when they artificially shake the tree.

Fascinating that the same big banks and hedge funds are suffering from FTDs (failure to deliver actual shares). But yet they are still able to short it.

 

[Mr. Blue Sky]

it certainly seems to be outdated. But i think its temporary ( at least i hope it is as i have really altered my investment strategy to accumulate dividend paying stocks over the next 5 years )

So i just bought into my first ever dividend fund.. VDIGX (Vanguard).. i have a couple of 401ks, as well as a couple of brokerage accounts , but most of that stuff is focused on retirement .. what I’m trying to do now is create a “lazy portfolio” where money (dividends) appears in my checking account every quarter, while maintaining the principle, without worrying about when to buy or sell... I’m starting off very small, i dont care if my first dividend checks/direct deposits are only $20.. the idea is to just keep adding to it and adding to it, to the point where maybe every quarter i get direct deposits large enough to cover my car note (which will be paid off soon), or eventually my mortgage.. gotta start somewhere though.

Looks like its time to buy more bananas .

If that’s the Vanguard that I think it is then I think they are in a great spot. Vanguard and Blackrock are already mammoths. But both of those two are in an amazing position if the economy takes a beating.

Vanguard has lots of different options in terms of ETFs, mutual funds, dividend paying funds, etc- as i found out when i called to set up an account today.. which, incidentally, took forever since one of my old 401ks had been with Vanguard years ago, so they still had an account for me that I couldn’t access, etc etc- but i digest... finally got it figured out though... i had been researching their funds for a while.. VDIGX is like their ‘stalwart’ dividend fund that has been around forever in terms of these things (ie since 2002) and has companies like UnitedHealth, J&J, etc- only 40 companies, which is considered a very small quantity- but high quality... they have other dividend funds focused on tech- but I’m already in TSLA (since 2016), BTC and ETH on my own... another great Vanguard fund to look at is VTI, which i may soon get into as well.. but it doesnt pay dividends.

Vanguard is the second largest fund management company in the world, more than $1.6 trillion under management and more than 80 funds.

Second only to Blackrock.
