The Investment Thread (7 Viewers)

[bclemms]

Read articles from Simply Wallstreet or simply wallet. Whatever it is on the iPhone investment app. They're terrible articles that may not be full on Bot, but clearly written by someone who doesn't always know what they're writing about.

Credibility not required. I miss the days when blogs were called blogs and bots were called bots. Now we have blog bots running big twitter accounts and websites trying to pass off as news pages.


So I'm looking a side by side kind of as a family xmas present. Something basic and while looking over different options I start reading reveiws on Massimo. They make a ton of crap (pun implied). Their products look the part on the outside but the price tells me that it's trash. So I start reading the reviews and they aren't bad from multiple sites. In fact, they are so good I don't know how Honda, Can-Am, Yamaha and Polaris aren't bankrupt. At this point it's pretty obvious but now I'm curious enough to keep reading.

The ATV Reviews category will lay down all that you need to know about ATVs and their features as well as what to check when buying one.

Then I see they are sold at Tractor Supply, Wal-Mart and some are listed on Amazon. The reviews on all the websites are repetitive and obviously bots. On Massimo's own page the reviews are heavily scrubbed.

Finally found some real reviews after a while and was exactly what I expected. Batteries die after a week, don't honor warranty, can't get in touch with customer service, things like top speeds are slightly exxagerated (doubled), lots of complaints they wont make it up small hills, 2000lb tow hitch advertised doesn't actually exist at all. You know, little things.

If some small off brand company in Tx is managing that I can only imagine what is really going on under the sheets on these Trillion dollar market caps.

Yeah, or it's the same review, copied, with maybe a word or two changed, on multiple sites.

Balls deep in VXRT since last Thursday with $8 calls for next week. I'm talking AMC level balls deep. Got in when this was trading at about $7.

Big week this week, with them set to present at the World Vaccine & Immunotherapy Congress West Coast tomorrow on their oral Covid vaccine progress. Could be the next biotech runner, and it is off to a great start already this morning. It seems every biotech is running off of any catalyst these days, and this one seems to be on a similar cycle as many of the other over-shorted securities currently in the market.

Worth a look.

 

[St. Geezy]

This may be another potential biotech star today. That sector has been on absolute fire lately.

I may or may not chase, depending on the early action this morning.

Got my oil rebound, will open up around 10% from my entry point Friday just before close.

Omicron gives OPEC a golden opportunity to trim production on December 2nd to retaliate against countries tapping reserves. Lot of people calling for $100 oil, lot of big bets on January calls in the oil sector. Think I'm going to cut position in half and find another sector to bet against in case of of a big downturn.

Twitter jumps on Dorsey's stepping down as CEO. Seems like people think he is holding Twitter back.

 

[bclemms]

I just positioined myself for movement either way. As long as the market doesn't go sideways I'll make money.. Jumped out of GUSH at $101.30.


Bio is on absolute fire today but I'm not chasing.

NRXP just hit 60 million shares traded. The total number of shares that have ever been issued by that company is about 59 million shares.

I understand the same shares can be traded multiple times…but cmon. They are printing shares today.

I think YouTube personalities getting paid to push trading apps while showing off huge tech gains using margin accounts is going to get people in trouble. Trading apps offering first 1k interest free and 2.5% interest after that is just crazy. Margin is all the rage on the upswing. Let’s see how this works out long term.

I traded on margin in 1999. Did well for a couple months and then, well, you know..................................................................

won't ever, ever, ever, ever do that again

Trading apps offering first 1k interest free and 2.5% interest after that is just crazy. Margin is all the rage on the upswing. Let’s see how this works out long term.

I understand how margin can be used in ones favor on an upswing. But I don’t like the idea of it.

Take Fidelity as an example. If I switch to a margin account. Then all my GME shares could be lent out by Fidelity. And what will they lend those shares out for? To undermine my investment by creating shortable shares.

I was on the phone with them while transferring some of my shares out of Fidelity and into ComputerShare (where they are directly registered in my name and essentially pulled out circulation. They asked why I would do this. I told them just last week you lent out 2.5 million shares of GME so they could be shorted. That’s why.

Getting off topic, but the short interest of GME is now 113%. This could be rising each day as more and more people are going to ComputerShare. The shares available to trade (the float) is going down each day.

More than 80,000 accounts that hold GME have been created in ComputerShare in the last 3-4 months.

May want to ask yourself what usually follows a rough day in the market but big cap tech stays in the green and VIX starts spiking. Thanks to Apple and TSLA or today would be much worse. Everything sure looks like it is setting up for a bloodbath type day. Doubt it lasts long if it even happens and is just a short term correction but the market is on edge.
