Starting a new thread for stock picks.
Name off some hot ones to help TI members achieve their dreams. Currently I like financial stocks like BAC but that's slow moving. Please contribute.
-
When you make your recommendation you should put the price so it's easy to track the good/bad picks.

Got any studs qwerty?
BAC$22.89
-
Ya and don't edit the post once it's posted.
I'll pick: MLM @ $230.50, they'll probably be making the concrete for trumps Mexico wall, and that needs a special reinforced mix at $100 per bag, right!?

Not right now. I rode up Vale, FCX, PBR and NBR when they were all down. Outside of our 401ks and my wife's ESPP shares for her company we are out of the market. Just seems a little frothy right now. If anything I feel like shorting oil. Any production cuts by OPEC will be offset with US production output.
So I guess I would go with SCO at 32.25 on 2/1/16. It's levered at 2x.

My investment accounts are 80% cash right now. I also sold 80% in 2007 and got back in 2011. Not sure if I'll be right again. So far I'm wrong.

You'll be right eventually, the tough part is being right on the way back up.

NFLX, AMZN, AAPL, DIS, GOOG, TGT, MSFT
Hold until retirement. :)

You really going out on the limb for us.. lol.
I wish I was more ballsy at times.. although there is the negative side to that as well. My friend told me to get into AMD last year around $1+.. company is doing okay but it's at 12 bucks now!
-
I am risk averse, so I only invest in sure things... staple stocks and Irvine real estate. :)
BTW: Remember how members here were panning NFLX? Bet they all wish they bought in back then.

Haha, I just sold my AMD, not because I'm smart like your friend, I bought it waaaay back then when it was around 9-10, and saw it tank
From reading the book Buffet recommends/edit, could always go the conservative route and just put some away on the market/index like sp500 or whatever, and consistently add to it every month or every quarter. This is obviously for the long term, ride the hills and valleys, but overall trend for the next 30 years (or when you retire), it's the belief that slope is upwards and outgains inflation by a lot.

Haha I just left the market as well
I had AMZN, DIS, GM, TSLA, FB
sold all of them when the dow broke 20,000
my personal thoughts on those I bought (amzn might hit $1000, who knows, dis is solid with marvel, but I think espn holding it down, GM gives good dividends, tsla with the trump situation might be tricky now, FB hasn't done quite as well as I hoped, maybe due to fake news/VR)
so around 21% gain in a year...decided not to try my luck anymore. Short term it was a good idea as those are all lower now...but I'll probably not be able to buy into those stocks anymore especially amazon. I bought the day it fell to $550 or so...I think with the announcement of some competitor (Netflix I think with new shows)
I wish I was more ballsy to keep them forever, but I figure now is a risky time to be investing.
Biggest regret in the past year, I bought 1000 shares of GSV when it was around .95 or so (yolo style)...sold it when it hit around 1.03 since it was so up and down. Today it's 2.81.... ugh that could've been 300% increase :'(
I'll probably hold it as cash for a little longer until I see another amazon like situation

Not me... loved in back then... not so sure at theses prices though.

If you're going long term - what about biotech ETFs like BIB, IBB, XBI? Short-term might be a little rough though.
I think Citi (C) has quite a bit of room to move up this year to catch up with the other big banks. BAC is solid though for a while.
US companies with lots of $$ overseas to repatriate back will be a good play as well. CSCO and AAPL come to mind.
My non-sexy/value pick is American Eagle Outfitters (AEO). 3+% dividend, 11.5 P/E Ratio and low Price/Cash Flow and PEG Ratios to boot.
-
Sold out of the money puts on AAPL, GOOD, and FB before earnings. Earlier told sold $136 weekly calls on FB for some extra pocket change (have a stop loss on it though). Also sold the $15 weekly VIX calls earlier today for .15 (have $20 weekly VIX calls that I sold last week). Not sure that I want to play AMZN's earnings since they've burned me a lot before.

XLF is a good one at $23. With the inevitable going to happen to Dodd Frank.. financials are a good play and this ETF is safe.

Hindsight 20/20. There are plenty of times I missed the boat. I got into Netflix early during my start of career at $15.. sold at $30. Thought I did well with 100% right? lol.

Just like Irvine real estate. Long ago could have bought some condos for $100k and SFRs for $200k, now how much are they going for? :)

IPO price may be high to see short term appreciation? FB took a while to see growth..
As someone pointed in the other post, I agree - no risk, no rewards!
-
In general, stocks are at an all time high today. Do you TI'ers see this continuing for a while or a slow down? If it's a slowdown, are any equity sectors safe? I personally think bank stocks are relatively safe and utilities (with their higher dividends) might be a decent hedge.
-
How about them financials eh guys?
-
long term, snapchat will die. short term is a toss up.
I prefer FB as the social media play. I have a feeling they will be getting into the china market "soon".

I say this every week, then the next week I say the same thing. Guess I'll keep.riding the wave, shorts are getting crushed.

I have WAY too much $$ in bank stocks...I'm just being hesitant to pull some out. Maybe the market keeps going up until Trump gets impeached!
-
I'm concerned but not because how high the market goes up but rather how fast it went up base on euphoria of Trump policy.
I'm very cautious right now, will hold on the index funds but seriously considering unload some tech stocks.

Cash is KING right now and in the near future. This run up is full of hot air.

Oh I believe it too.. BUT.. you gotta strike while it's hot. There will be a run up and then just cash out!

Yup, I keep hearing the same thing from everyone I know and selling VIX puts has been futile at best. This is definitely a wall of worry stealth trump train rally. haha

I'm going to let it ride! Morgan Stanley just put a $30 price target on BAC.
They also put a $154 target on AAPL.

It's been a month since this thread started and these bank stocks are still on fire. BAC is up almost 11% since Feb 1.

SNAP iPo is today and priced in last night at $17.
I like Apple because of buffet. Also like Facebook here.

You guys think snap will pop short term?

I predict a Twitter-like chart

I would have SNAP on my radar to short....not buy.
-
up around $8 on the open $24-$25
-
Time to short
-
I don't think you can get any stock to short...the offering hasn't settled yet so I don't know where you borrow it from. Also, I don't think there are any options yet.
-
no option chain from what i can tell, it'd be horrible if you short it but can't buy it to close the position as there are no buyers and the stock keeps on going up
-

That's what you called getting snapped
-
On an IPO i think the only ones who can short in the first week are the syndicate members as no stock has settled till day 3. Without settled stock there is no stock to borrow in order to short. Also options don't usually trade on a stock till it has been out there awhile (month or 2) so the makers can get the premiums figured out.

No way Snapchat is worth that much.

Just wait to short right before the lock up periods for insiders are done because they'll be selling their shares.

I predict a Twitter-like chart
Like I said....
Two market watchers who rang the alarm about Twitter see trouble for Snap
Wieser downgraded Twitter to a sell rating in November 2013 immediately after shares were open for trading. Ahead of Twitter's IPO, he had marked the stock a buy. In his sell note, Wieser said Twitter did appear to be fairly valued, but key risks included "a relatively unproven" advertiser proposition, the prospects of "wild swings" in investor sentiment and government regulations related to privacy.
"There are some lessons to be learned from the Twitter IPO," Wieser told CNBC in a phone interview Thursday. He said some investors may indeed be optimistic about the company's intrinsic value, but others may be following the "greater fool theory" in which the stock's price is determined by irrational expectations.
"A difference with Snap is that I don't know that investors necessarily believe that," he said. "Maybe some do."

Check out this interview with JCPenney CEO.
"Starting later this month, shoppers will see signs in the J.C. Penney home departments and on its digital storefront for services in bathroom remodeling, home heating and cooling systems, quick-ship and installed blinds, whole home water solutions, awnings and smart home technology."
http://www.cnbc.com/2017/03/09/jc-penney-wants-to-remodel-your-bathroom.html
In general the margins for bathroom remodels, custom blinds/drapes/shutters etc. are high.
I'll just keep this in my watch list. See if this stock gains traction.

Target needs to get their online presence act together. Their website is awful and that's where the growth opportunities are right now. That's why Walmart is starting to look better.
-
I actually like shopping Target online because of the ability to return in store (esp for clothes).
Amazon Prime is our go to but their return policy is lame because you have to cover shipping.
-
It's oversold. Much of the negatives are now baked into the price. Not saying it won't go lower but it is cheap now. Walmart at a 16 PE and Costco is fielding a 31. I went there Sunday and it took me 10 minutes to find a space and even longer to check out.
-
Amazon Prime is our go to but their return policy is lame because you have to cover shipping.
Not the best advice I'll admit but go through the choices for "reason for return" .. there are 2 of those that don't require return shipping. Obviously don't do it for every purchase but 1 in 6 months for an avid amazon prime shopper should cleanse any bad karma
-
So I have something I'm bad at with stocks.
I hold my winners too long. Particularly my big winners, those 5 or 6 baggers, or more.
What gets you to pull the trigger?

Well buffet likes to hold forever. I guess unless you want to use that money sell it.
-
Buffet likes indexed ETF's more than hedge funds.
http://fortune.com/2017/02/25/warren-buffett-scorches-the-hedge-funds/
I think he used VTI for this bet.
He doesn't hold forever either. He got rid most of his walmart position.

Oops
A 'valuation built on a house of cards' - A fired Snapchat employee wants a judge to unseal information he claims shows inflated user numbers
In Pompliano's opposition on Tuesday to Snap, his lawyers argue that "Snap's outsized valuation is built on a house of cards" that has been "systematically built through a coordinated effort from Snap's executives to personally reward themselves with billions of dollars by maliciously manipulating metrics, suppressing metrics that put the company in a negative light, and even, at times, blatantly misleading professional investors, employees, advertisers, and now, retail investors."

So bring on the snowflake lawsuits, that was predictable when in doubt Sue everybody and never take blame yourself.
Snap Inc. Hit With Securities Class Action Alleging Inflated Growth
A law firm filed a securities class action suit on Tuesday against Snap Inc., alleging the company made false and misleading statements about its user growth.
Pomerantz LLP, which specializes in such cases, is seeking to represent shareholders in the company which went public just two months ago.
The suit notes that Snap’s stock price plunged $4.93, or 21.45%, after its first quarterly report last week showed disappointing user growth. The suit also cites the claims of Anthony Pompliano, a former growth lead for Snapchat, who has filed his own lawsuit alleging that the company was using inflated metrics during his brief tenure there in 2015.

A law firm filed a securities class action suit on Tuesday against Snap Inc., alleging the company made false and misleading statements about its user growth.
Pomerantz LLP, which specializes in such cases, is seeking to represent shareholders in the company which went public just two months ago.
The suit notes that Snap’s stock price plunged $4.93, or 21.45%, after its first quarterly report last week showed disappointing user growth. The suit also cites the claims of Anthony Pompliano, a former growth lead for Snapchat, who has filed his own lawsuit alleging that the company was using inflated metrics during his brief tenure there in 2015.

True but
I think more of these lawsuits should happen just to curb the robbery of main Street money.

Snap Is Year's Most-Shorted Tech IPO Before Lockup Ends
Snap Inc. is the most-shorted tech initial public offering of the year, with a growing number of traders betting the stock will fall.
Investors are skeptical that the company, which owns the Snapchat photo-sharing app, can grow quickly enough to justify its valuation -- now at about $22 billion -- given aggressive competition from Facebook Inc., which has been copying some of Snapchat’s features. That’s helped drive short interest in Snap up to 28 percent of the free float, or shares available to be traded publicly, according to data from Markit Group Ltd. The increase comes before the first lockup expiration on the shares -- on July 30 -- when certain stakeholders and executives will be free to unload their positions for the first time since the March 1 IPO.

Been holding unit cost at 17.60. Bought it extended hours after it's earnings report. It may retest it but figured it was a fair bet. Even though instagram has copied a lot of it's features to me it's still easier to use.

Short Chipotle
Chipotle Mexican Grill (CMG -1.7%) moves lower as its recent food safety incident in Virginia may be worse than first realized, with the number of reports of illness associated with the store continue to rise.
As of late Wednesday night, the founder of the iwaspoisoned.com food poisoning website said he had received reports of 133 people sickened at the CMG restaurant in Sterling, Va.
The director of the Loudoun County Health Department, which handles reports of illnesses in Sterling, says his office so far has received ~60 reports of people getting sick from the restaurant but that foodborne illnesses tend to be underreported.
Meanwhile, reports say rodents were spotted at one of CMG's Dallas-area restaurants, with some customers claiming their lunch was "ruined by rodents falling from the ceiling" on Tuesday.

You need to own corresponding shares of the contracts you are selling. So if you are selling 1 contract of BABA, you'd own 100 shares already.

It is of utmost importance that you like the underlying stock to begin with. You may end up owning it for longer than you want so you better like it long term and use the option trading to enhance income.

One good alternative to purchase stocks is to sell at or out-of-the-money puts. If you don't get pushed into the position, you'll end up collecting the option premium and you can continue to do that until you get pushed into the position.
I'm not good at stock picking so I just stick to sell VIX calls and puts (to a much lesser extent) because that's what I know and because 60% of all my gains, even if the trade is for a minute, are treated as long-term capital gains per IRS Section 1256 rules (see link below).

J$ just so it's clear, USC's position is not long VIX, so hope you didn't buy any.
Correct, I mostly sell VIX calls and some VIX puts as straddles and strangles. If someone does buy VIX calls waiting for a VIX spike, close the position quickly as the spikes don't last for long. People buying VIX calls and/or VXX for longer than a few days have lost money. I pretty much bank on when times are calm and will give some profits back on spikes but then make multiples of my losses back on gains as the VIX falls back down again. Again, the trading that I do is not for the faint of heart or wallet...big ups and big downs sometimes. Wash, rinse, and repeat.

Sold $13 through $21 VIX calls last week that expire tomorrow...not really concerned. Key is to always trade with room for error. I won't allows book gains and the goal is to accumulate more profits to absorb any losses. The higher that the VIX goes the more premium higher and higher calls.

If Elon got hit by a piece of falling space debris tomorrow, TSLA would struggle to find a real bottom. A competitor "scooping them up" should have the same effect, as in either case, Elon wouldn't be running the show. There's no potential buyer that anyone would bet on as much as Elon.

That's a good point and he would probably remain as the figurehead to protect share value. I just don't see another plausible way for him to continue funding TSLA's balance sheet. How many more junk bonds can he issue? Probably a lot, but that decreases any chance of future profitability without a default or restructuring. I could see a legacy auto maker that is behind in the electric car race coming in and overpaying just for the brand and the consumer sentiment that goes along with it. That would give Elon access to the vast resources he needs, both in terms of financing and the assembly line expertise that he's currently lacking.

Uber began trading on the New York Stock Exchange Friday at $42 per share, below its IPO price of $45. The stock was down more than 2% toward the start of trading.
Uber priced its shares Thursday night toward the low end of its target range of $44 to $50 per share. That gave Uber a valuation of $75.46 billion at its IPO on a non-diluted basis, still well below the $120 billion it was reportedly seeking when news first broke it was preparing to go public. Toward the beginning of its trading, Uber's market cap was around $73 billion.

I like Target at $55. 11PE. 4.3% dividend. Whats not to like?
I am officially out of my whole position on TGT at $82...56% including dividend...I'll take that! Next.
Well I bailed out of most of my position but if you still hold this....huba huba huba!!

I bailed out on 2/3 of my TGT at $88. Contemplating what to do with the rest. I have the same dilemma with ROKU right now. Bought at $52, now at $139. Grew too fast too quickly. Also made a dumb move and bought MU last year at $45, which hasn't done anything.

With that one I was more a tinder date then an ourtime....I'd ditch the bitch, but I can be shallow and fickle.

Wow -- didn't realize how much they have fallen -- Used to have them as my retail stock but swapped with Costco last year -- you think its a good bet to swap again ?
Target needs to get their online presence act together. Their website is awful and that's where the growth opportunities are right now. That's why Walmart is starting to look better.
Looks like they took your advice.

AMZN growth will be primarily due to their AWS, not their retail IMHO.

The next stock to watch is NVTA. it's around $26.50 right now. Will go to $100 in the next couple years. I got in around $22, but I almost pulled the trigger around $15 a few months earlier.

Don’t worry it’s coming. What I hear IB have slowed down hiring recently. I can smell it.

If economy not an issue why is the rumor payroll tax potentially on the table. I mean come on.

It looks like the yield curve briefly inverts with the 2 year treasuries which topped the 10 year rate.

NFLX, AMZN, AAPL, DIS, GOOG, TGT, MSFT
Hold until retirement. :)
Let's see how I did with those "duh" stocks:
2/2/17 to now
NFLX 139.20 > 297.81
AMZN 839.95 > 1823.54
AAPL 128.53 > 212.75
DIS 110.61 > 135.76
GOOG 798.53 > 1191.25
TGT 63.68 > 103.20
MSFT 63.17 > 138.94
So simpleton stock picks seem to do well.
For reference:
DOW: 20,851.33 > 26,202.73
S&P: 2,371.54 > 2,924.43
NASDAQ: 5,867.89 > 8,020.2

you seem to be following what's going on around the world, so you should know that the european economy is in the tank and asia is seeing a lot of unrest. which means the united states is still by far the safest place to put your money, thus with everyone taking their money to buy 10 year treasuries the price will go down. calls for recession in the us are just the latest outrage that the media can play to get more clicks and eyeballs.

The yield curve needs to stay inverted for an average of 7 months...not 7 minutes. Once that happens a recession may occur anywhere from 9-24 months later...this currently is another big fat nothing burger...bon appetite’!

To clarify. Did you buy or are those on your stocks to watch?

I did some historical lookups on the ones that were posted on Page 1 of this thread... many didn't move that much... but I think those were supposed to be short term picks.
My picks are like Irvine houses... hold them for a long time and they will yield good returns.
The worst performer was DIS... which is surprising but I expect it to go up in the next few years.
-
Got it.
Bingo. So it all comes out in this thread. You could of said this long time ago. That you view your house as an investment.

Not sure where you are going with this.
I view my home as a place to live, first and foremost. Over the long haul it can give you good returns but when I am buying I am not looking at a short term turnaround.
That’s why I say that you can buy even if you will only save a nominal amount instead of waiting. It’s just like long hold stocks, you just need to get in and stop worrying about timing the bottom. And better than stocks, you get a tax write off, you don’t have to worry about the woes of renting and you get all the benefits of owning a home.

Previously you said hold stocks for the long term. Then you said housing is better than stocks. A lot of people worry about buying the peak like the previous article I posted. (Almost everybody likes a bargain. Why do you think TjMax and Roos are doing so well?) When people remodel their home most people don’t over spend for the location of the house. People are savvy and care about the bottom line.
You mean small tax write off owning a home. (Cap on salt deductions)

Sure. But buying a home is not like shopping at TJMaxx or Ross. You can buy at the peak and still be okay as long as you can afford your home and stay long term. Many people just want to stop renting and own a home (there are several TI members who have said that... so no articles, real people).
You mean small tax write off owning a home. (Cap on salt deductions)
If you consider $10k small, if you own a home less than $1m, that's a good sized write-off. You also forget about the $250k/$500k capital gains exclusion, can't do that with other "investments".

-read your previous posts, it sounds like you view your house as an investment, which explains your rational in other thread and your determination to put your own spin on things
-again the average person is business savvy and they do not want to buy at the peak or over pay for something.
-$10k is small
-btw there was a rumor removal of capital gain exclusion was on the table during the backdoor tax reform conversation. So you never know they might take that away in the future.

So I'm still not sure where this is going. As I said before, my house is where I live first. That's why the ups and downs don't bother me as much as they bother you.
What is my "rational" and "spin"? Doesn't everyone do this... especially you?
-again the average person is business savvy and they do not want to buy at the peak or over pay for something.
Again, it depends on what we are talking about. People overpay for Apple iPhones, clothes etc... what you are saying is not universally true.
-$10k is small
So why wait for a 7% drop in house prices when that can equate to a only a $10k savings in a 20% down payment?
-btw there was a rumor removal of capital gain exclusion was on the table during the backdoor tax reform conversation. So you never know they might take that away in the future.
And until that time, it's still a great benefit to own a house.
So back on topic:

Setup descending/ladder limit orders on GE from $6.50 to $5.00 in $0.50 steps (6.50-6.00-5.50-5.00). Not big money, just few hundred dollars per order. $6.50 executed today.
I had 3 stocks under consideration, GE, Ford and MRO. Out of the 3 I think GE has better prospects.

for the foreseeable future, people will be entertaining themselves more at home. That means investing in better/more streaming options. Thus, expect ROKU and other related stocks (TTD) to have a long runway up.
BTW, that trend was already occurring well before coronavirus. Covid19 just accelerated that paradigm shift.

Amzn is my only naked long position and will probably remain so until the recession is over.
This pandemic is a game changer for Amazon.

Increased limit orders on SPY 250-200 in $5 ladder steps.
(Update: Switched to VOO 225-190 in $5 ladder steps)
If DOW dips below 20K I might pick up SSO and TQQQ.
Why do I think that we'd dip again in an U or W instead of upswing on the "V" ? Because this is 'Merica and we have to hit all the tree branches with our foreheads on the way down. That's how we roll into 3Q 2020.
-
Anyone who thinks we will have a "V" recovery is delusional, the recovery will definitely be more of a "U" and might be a "W" if we have the virus come back in the fall/winter. Behaviors will change as a result of what has happened including unemployment being higher than when we went into this even after there is a vaccine.

I've been buying small amounts ($100-$300) of various higher risk stocks and REIT's that got hammered. I would not recommend betting your life savings on them.
The much larger purchases go toward S&P 500 ETF's.

I picked up some FSENX and FSESX this week. Figured whenever the quarantine ends people will wander back to the gas pumps.
I chose FSENX because it's more diversified than FENY and VDE ETF's.
If energy stocks have another big drop I might pick up XLE.

Looking to pick up SSO at $90 and below (fingers crossed).
I just don't get why so many investors rushed into W (Wayfair). I mean this company lost $2.3 billion in recent years, and despite increase in sales and revenue in 1Q 2020 due to Coronavirus (and closure of competing retail stores), it still suffered a quarterly loss of $285 million. Yet the stock was ballooned from $22 up to almost $200 before the dip. Like what the heck? Are people expecting Wayfair's CEO to suddenly come out of the closet and say that they actually had a hidden vaccine R&D wing in a cave behind the sofa section and has developed COVID-19 cure?

Prediction: Carnival Floating Covid Quarantines
-
If you subscribe to buying stock when there's blood on the streets, cruise operator, airline, REIT's, and oil companies are all bleeding.
While there is always a risk that the company might bleed to death, some companies are less risky than others because the government is likely to step in and perform CPR. The small fry (example, small oil companies) that Uncle Sam deem we can do without, will be left to live or die on their own.
I have slightly more faith in oil ETF's because, sooner or later most of us will return to the gas pump. Airlines is higher risk as businesses may opt for teleconference over business travel, and many people will either choose not to fly, or cannot afford to for their vacation. BUT I don't think the government will let Delta airlines die because air travel is still essential.
Cruise operators is purely leisure and not essential. Carnival managed to raise something like 6.25 billion dollars to keep themselves afloat with stocks, high yield bonds, and convertible bonds. They may return to operation in Aug but who is going to let them dock if there is an infection spread on board? On the other hand, the last shrimp boat afloat after the hurricane gets all the shrimp.
REIT's took such severe beating I would consider them as slot machines. Play responsibly.

What do you think about oil tanker operators?
So it can also hedge as a storage facility. It playing out perfectly currently.
Some of these operate did great during this crisis.

I made a smallish bet on MITT at $2/share this week. This REIT has been severely hammered and if you buy you are betting that it will not bleed to death. They have suspended dividend payment to conserve cash. You should not expect the share price to recover back to $16.

Bought MITT @ $2.20/s last week, sold @ $2.76/s today.
Bought more IVR @ $3/s yesterday.
IVR is paying $0.50 dividend per quarter. So on a $3 stock it's paying $2 dividend/year. I'm using my IRA account for this one. Today (05/19) is the last day to buy for Q2 dividend distribution.
* Update: (Thanks to USCTrojanCPA) Dividend is paid in combination of cash and shares:

Seems like the dividend will be $0.05 per share and the other portion will be a stock dividend from what I could tell reading this...
On May 9, 2020, the Company's board of directors approved the payment of the Company's previously declared dividend for the first quarter of 2020 of $0.50 per share of common stock (the "first quarter dividend"). The first quarter dividend will be paid on June 30, 2020 in a combination of cash and shares of the Company's common stock to stockholders of record as of May 21, 2020. Given the uncertain and rapidly changing financial markets resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company's board of directors has determined that the cash component of the first quarter dividend (other than cash paid in lieu of fractional shares) will not exceed 10% in the aggregate, or $0.05 per share, with the balance payable in shares of the Company's common stock. This will allow the Company to preserve capital and enhance the Company's financial flexibility.
In accordance with the provisions of the applicable IRS Revenue Procedures, stockholders will be asked to make an election to receive the first quarter dividend all in cash or all in shares. To the extent that stockholders elect to receive more than 10% of the aggregate payment in cash, the cash portion of the payment will be prorated. Stockholders who elect to receive the dividend in cash will receive a cash payment of at least $0.05 per share. Stockholders who elect to receive the dividend in Company common stock will only receive shares of Company common stock. Additionally, stockholders who do not make an election will receive 90% of the dividend in Company common stock and 10% of the dividend payment in cash. The number of shares issued as a result of the dividend will be calculated based upon the volume weighted average trading prices of the Company's common stock on the New York Stock Exchange on June 17, June 18 and June 19, 2020. Cash will be paid in lieu of fractional shares so that stockholders receive a whole number of shares of common stock.

Picked up some ZM, CRWD and WORK earlier today ahead of earnings call. Curious to see how ZM will perform tomorrow. Will it run out of steam from Monday, or continue to climb?

I sold 10 $35 June 5th weekly puts for $1 so my cost basis in 1,000 shares will be $34. I'll go long and sell covered calls against the position.
-
These closed at .90c, your position still looks good. Just curious when you sell puts do you ever get called early before expiration or you just hold them until expiration and profit the purchase price minus the closing price at expiry?
Also as the seller can you buy these back at Market price anytime or you’re at the mercy of the expiration date?

The option will be exercised into going long the stock after the close of Friday. I can close out the puts before expiration at any time at market price but I'm fine going long the shares with a cost basis of $34 and using covered calls to bring the cost basis down. Same thing happened with 20 Zillow puts so I went long (2,000 shares) with covered calls and will be taken out of the position with a gain as the stock rallied this week.

/me eyes WPG bouncing into the clouds
I don't think WPG SPG etc are long term holds, as future of department store retail is bleak. But I guess all the people cooped up during the lockdown are making a beeline for the mall right now.

I'm too heavily invested in oil and oil services. Diversifying with bank stocks.

Buying KSS on retailer reopening.
I picked KSS over others because Macy's is only paying the bills with massive loans, JC Penny is barely breathing in buyout talks, and Nordstrom was a difficult decision but I didn't think luxury department store will do that well in post pandemic economy.

Sometimes sitting on the sideline is more fruitful, in the short term. :)

I'd need to go back and study how to trade options again and play with some paper trades to make sure I really understand, before I'd be comfortable with using real money.
What I do now is I look for stocks that I like, preferably priced at 25% or more below pre-crash price in Feb 2020 (not 52 week high). I'd buy a few thousand dollars (less for higher risk).
Then I'd setup downward ladder limit order steps to 25% below the purchased price. The total value of the limit orders typically add up to 100% of what I paid for in the first purchase. If I really love the stock I might go higher.
So for KSS, say I bought $5,000 at $27.
25% below $27 is $20.
I setup limit orders at $26 25 24 23 22 21 20 (bigger gaps as needed for higher priced stocks)
Each limit order is 5000/7 = $700 ish, more if I really like the stock.
Another example, say if GE is trading at $6.60.
I put in first limit order of $1000 at $6.50.
Then I put in lower limit orders at $6.00, $5.50, and $5.00 at $350 each.
So if the stock continues to rise then none of the limit orders will execute and you only make gains from the initial purchase.
The money put into limit orders are not avail for trade and act like a reserve. If the stock climbs high enough I will cancel the limit orders and reallocate the funds toward another stock purchase.
There is likely a smarter/better and more efficient way to do this.

If you really believe in the company you're buying stock in, maybe you can increase your limit order size for each lower price. So that way, you bought more at $20 than at $26.

Yes -- if I really like the stock, the limit orders would be larger. However 25% drops after the March crash has been hard to come by. If by some miracle the stock falls from $26 to $20, I may make another lump purchase at $20 and setup limit orders $19-$15.
Previously I had made smaller initial purchases and put in much larger limit orders. Unfortunately with only small dips after the initial March slide, this means most of the limit orders didn't execute and I only invested small % of the money. After review I decided to just bump up the initial purchase in our U-shaped recovery phase.

Most of these picks continue to skyrocket. This is sort of irrational. I think I probably should be selling...but the problem is ,these companies have LONG runways and will probably be trending up for several years. They're just getting started.

HPQ and XRX are cheap but people working from home rarely needs to print office documents. I think with what happened in recent months more people will migrate from print documents to electronic docs.

I think DOCU is a great stock to buy (earlier) for the quarantine. But I have some doubts regarding the long term outlook. I've used DOCU for real estate docs a number of times and ran into bugs and issues, but those are easily fixed. What concerns me is how the company makes money and the low barrier of entry in this segment.
Consider, it may be a large task to service e-sign documents for many segments, but a competitor only needs to service one (or more). For example, someone else -- such as redfin, zillow, trulia, realtor.com, opendoor, or corelogic could come up a competing e-doc service specific to real estate and eat DOCU's market share. Same applies for other market segments. What if Ernst & Young and Experian wanted a piece of the action? I don't believe DOCU has high level of customer loyalty. Also unlike netflix, it's not like you can have exclusive license on common RE purchase or legal forms.

I don't do stocks, but my 401k looks to be almost caught up with the current. There was couple 5 figures lost just within a month or two when FED lowered the interest rates and with Covid-19 stuff started exploding, but those lost figures gained back now. I wonder how much Newsom's attempt to destroy the economy will work this time.

Looking back, one of the financial mistakes or trade-off's I made was not making larger contributions to my 401(k) and ESPP. Had I maxed out my contributions to both 5-6 years ago, that account would be about $200,000 richer today. Instead the money was spent on vacations and cruises. So instead of +$200,000 in the account I ate sushi at Tsukiji fish market and have um... pictures of northern lights and all you can eat crab buffet from Alaska. @_@

That sounds more like a trade-off than a financial mistake. Some of those experiences are priceless. I missed out on my opportunity to go to that fish market when I was in Tokyo for a week. And seeing the northern lights is on my short-list of things I need to see before I'm gone.

The photos bring back memories of my solo trip to Japan a few years ago. Wish I had gone to Tsukiji, but I thought I had read somewhere that it already wasn't the same due to the imminent closure. Plus I had no shortage of things to do and places to go, so I skipped it. Because of life events I went in August, and it was miserably hot the whole time, but I still had a great trip. The only negative thing I can say about Japan, other than the weather, is that it was exactly as I expected it would be.

DOCU and Zoom....I should have bought that back in March. Oh well, I'm making a ton on playing selling weekly American Airlines options (both calls and puts) due to the high implied volatility. And for those times I get pushed into going long or short the stock, I just sell covered calls or puts against that position and exit with a profit the next week.

No, sadly we didn't have enough time. We signed up with a budget tour package and had limited free days, but did find enough time to visit Shinjuku's piss alley (Omoide Yokocho) several times. Interestingly, our local Japanese friend said it wasn't a place where single females went alone, and she had never visited the place until we took her. Went to a back alley yakitori bar where local salaryman took OL's there to get drunk and carry her off after.

I owned about $12K in AAPL stock back in the early 2000's. Had I kept it it would have made me a LOT of money. Unfortunately I was short on cash and needed the money for down payment on another condo.
I think if the iPhone had been released then, I'd have made more effort to kept the stock. Ah well.

Welp, looks like I was wrong but I bet Options sellers still win here as the move AH doesn't justify the premium.

Picked up a little MRNA today. Have limit orders at lower price if it drops some more ($68 this morning from the patent ruling). Also keeping eye on IBIO, had bought few hundred shares earlier this month before it went crazy. Might pick up more shares if price is right.
An acquaintance in the immunology field reviewed the research papers and in his opinion, IBIO's proprietary technology, plant based "natural" ingredients and single dose vaccine is very attractive. He also believes the Moderna vaccine is superior to Oxford's and Pfizer's.
However since there are so many players gunning for the same target, the situation may change at any time. It's possible that a dark horse runs in and sideswipes everyone with some miracle cure. So don't bet your life savings on them.
I am also concerned that the political leadership may pressure Pfizer to release vaccine for general use a little too early after recent $2 billion deal. But that's for another discussion.

I only bought 3 shares ($500). Might pick up more if price drops.
But to your point, in addition to BA's aircraft woes, air travel is way down. We don't really know if and when air travel will return to previous levels, as many business trips are now replaced by zoom meetings and people are gun-shy with taking vacations and cruises.
Baron Rothschild said to buy when there is blood in the streets. I think BA and GE are bleeding but not mortally wounded. I also think the government would not let them bleed to death. Just my $0.02.

I keep selling a few hundred out-of-the-money calls and puts on AAL each week. I'm up over $50k doing this on AAL since April. Looks of support around $10-11 and resistance around $13-14 but that can change week to week.

This was under a 10b5-1 plan so he has his exercises scheduled out. So when setting it up he would elected to sell the entire shares related to the exercise. He still has about half a million options just for those two initial option grants.
This isn’t a situation where he knows something regarding the vaccine as it getting out before the stock tanks

Alteryx (AYX) - a local company in Irvine with about annual revenues of about 400M and now a market cap of about $7B just tanked about 40% in the last two days. 30% on Friday and another 10% today.
I remember this was at about 90-95 not to long ago and thought about buying it but thought it was too pricey then it shot up to 180. Now it’s at about 109.
I may pull the trigger on this one. Seems like some good upside.
Anyone have this in their portfolio?

overreaction and good buying opportunity. russian covid vaccine has been tested on 76 people ::)
76 People Tried Russia’s Vaccine. It’s a Drop in the Bucket.
News that Russia has effectively approved the world’s first Covid-19 vaccine has lifted stocks, but the coronavirus crisis is far from over. Not many people are known to have tried any of the vaccine candidates being developed.
Data from large trials of at least some of the vaccines should arrive in the fourth quarter of 2020.
Still, the fact that Russia has registered a vaccine is good news. Investors are happy: Europe’s FTSE 100 Index is up 1.7% in overseas trading. Asia’s Hang Seng Index rose 2.1%, and in the U.S., the Dow Jones Industrial Average and S&P 500 were up 1.2% and 0.6%, respectively.
The Russian vaccine, however, was only tested on about 76 people. That’s the bad news embedded in Tuesday’s announcement.

I have it in my portfolio. I bought at 140, so I'm losing $$, but I'm holding for the long-term. Lot of smart people I follow love this company and snatching up more shares. I don't have any more cash, otherwise I'd do the same.

The deceleration of growth over the last two quarters plus their guidance for the remainder of 2020. Q120 revenue grew about 45%, Q220 grew 17% and Q320 revenue is expected to grow 7-11% with full year 2020 having growth of about 10-11%. I haven’t done the math but that probably implies a revenue decline in Q420.

Woke up early and picked up 10 shares of TSLA on morning dip.
Will become 50 shares by month's end. :D
-
Good move. I'm eyeing it too...but I couldn't wake up early. :(

Elon really trying to achieve the $420 price.
I think he was cryptically saying a split was imminent when he said the stock price was too high.
-
What do people think of ISRG for a long term play at just under the current 52 week high? They have such a strong balance sheet and a competitive moat.
-
For long term play I’d choose AAPL over ISRG. They have a solid customer base (huge market), and good quality products that aren’t fragmented like Android devices.
In 3 years when AAPL is back at $400 post 4for1 split, I’m sure I’ll be wishing I owned more. AAPL will make you rich slowly but surely, just reinvest your dividends and keep DCA buying shares.

no question - already have a big position and will add to it. Huge fan of their financial and business performance.

I think AAPL is ripe (no pun intended) for a 20% price drop, then I'll back up the truck in the $380's and buy buy buy for the next run-up.
-
Sold TSLA today.
My buy-in for AAPL after 4-1 split is $100 and below.
For TSLA after 5-1 split, I haven't decided on where to put my limit orders yet. But most likely it will be below $300.
-

It's just been going up despite the pandemic. Why do you think it can plummet 20%?
-
Woke up early and snagged 20 shares TSLA pre-market (decided not to wait for the dip). As soon as the market opened the feeding frenzy was on. Word on twitter is that there were so many more people who want to buy vs those who want to sell, if you put in an order to buy it'd just sit there for a while.
If the feeding frenzy continues the stock might go over $500 by closing. I have no idea when people will wake up to Tesla's P/E ratio. Many eyes on Tesla's battery day on 9/22 -- will they reveal million mile battery or under-deliver?
As for AAPL, historically speaking whenever AAPL had split, the price was down 2 weeks after split. I can't say history will always repeat itself, of course.

The trading volume for TSLA and AAPl are so high that it causes delay in various trading platforms.

I had a friend tell me on Friday that they're doing great with TSLA and if (when) it goes up to its pre-split price, she's going to retire. It reminded me of when I told my boss something similar around March of 2000...that I may not have to work for much longer.
That little comment from her is a blaring alarm siren to me on TSLA, and possibly the market as a whole. Are we there now, or are things even crazier than they were in 2000?

People don't understand splits. I had a friend also tell in 2000:
"My stock options are worth $2.5 million after 2 stock splits. 2 more stock splits and I'll be worth $10 million! I'm not selling a single share until we hit 10 mil".
A few months later the company was bankrupt.

Is the stock over value? No doubt.
But they have a big fans. I know this guy who owns Tesla stock. He is like in love with Tesla. But since he does not own the car. So he owns the stock.
It is his connection with Tesla.
Probably that is the same with many people.
Also, you got new investors just buying stock without looking at the fundamentals.

But Kodak is not a good representation of the market. Neither is the DJIA. The S&P 500 is flawed due to the concentration of a select few of those 500 companies having the lion's share of the influence on the index value.
The Russell 2000 is probably a better measuring stick and is actually down YTD and only up about 6% for the past 12 months.

But I am still buying Tesla. Hehe

Stock market is a good indicator of the big companies but the problem is not that them...it is the small and medium size businesses.
Target and Walmart are thriving but all the mom and pop stores are dying. Just like McDonalds and chain store restaurant are doing great but most independent restaurant will not survive.
The rot is from the bottom and we keep looking at the top as evidence that the everything is going well.

Who knows. I read 3 articles from “experts” on why the market snowballed today and they all had different explanations. I have learned though to take a queue from historical fluctuations.
If AAPL drops under $100 next week, will definitely be buying a decent amount. The hard part though is to stay the course if it continues to drop to 90, mid 80s, etc. I’ve also learned that buying after a 20-25% drop and holding on through the lows has made me a lot of money over the last 10 years, and I’m ready to do it again.

Lucky thing I placed a limit order a couple days ago and it did not go through.

And I thought you were seasoned speculators. :)
Tesla is NOT ridding high on selling cars, cuz, they not even profittable. They are ridding high on hot air and stock pumps. They are selling stocks and car is just a bonus. :) :) :) They do have a cult followers and not even counting on earnings to be reasons.

I thought Tesla reported $100M net profit last quarter.

Don't be a morekaos and underestimate Elon.

Elon is a brilliant entrepreneur, a technological gifted mind and goals.
I am down play the stock valuation and the current worth of the company pricing. If it get to 200, it might be ok to buy. There is a lot of electric coming.

TSLA price today is fairly stable so far, but am not touching it for now.
Putting in SSO limit orders $70-$50 covering DOW 26,600-23,500.
AAPL $100-$80.
Now I can go eat lunch without having my eyeballs glued to the stock ticker.

Do something by anticipate the up/down. Watch which sector crash harder, than the other. Precious metal seem to hold up well
-
It's worth noting that in 2018, a year before John C Bogle's passing, Vanguard decided to remove S&P 500 fund from their employee's retirement plan, instead recommending total stock market index fund.
Fast forward to present day, we can see how the S&P 500 is slowly being dominated by top tech stocks (FANG) which is driving the index's recent gains this year. In many ways the S&P 500 is no longer well diversified and Vanguard saw it coming a mile away.
Regarding the buy and hold method, I think it's fine if you invested in broad market index or have someone like Warren Buffet & pals managing your money. But it's potentially suicidal to chase the hottest stock and pray that it will go even higher in buy and hold. People like to cite AAPL as a success but what about Yahoo? It was once one of the most valuable companies and look where it went, along with many other has been's in the tech industry. Sun Micro Systems for example lost 98% of its market value (!) by 2009 and managed to get itself sold to Oracle, guess buying MySQL in 2008 for $1 billion paid off.
I recall reading about the coffee can portfolio years ago and the assumption is that you'd buy numerous stocks based on certain criteria, including buying on dips (yes, timing the market to some extent) and hold for 10 years. Some stocks will go bust while others will fly. I think this is still relevant today even as company's lifespan on the S&P is shrinking.

More FOMO...just like Tesla, I wouldn't touch that with my enemy's money. Plenty of money to be made trading options on turd stocks like AAL, PLAY, SDC, SAVE, etc.
-
I considered buying until I saw it open at +100%... sheesh. Even on overvalued stocks there's money to be made riding the wave, but I'm not buying this one on a green day. Maybe I'll wait until a 10%+ drop day and throw some $ at it.
-
Perhaps bought up by the same astute investors who bought up the stock offered by bankrupt Hertz.

No shocker that the stock is down below the IPO price where the opening trade is over 100% higher than the IPO price. Like I said, I wouldn't touch it with my worst emeny's money. So many other rational stocks to make money on.

This was an interesting article below. I was wonder how are folks positioning themselves until end of the year. If folks are to believe this article, what would be the best way to position oneself for a trade? Put options on one of the ETFs? Play the volatility index? Short a particular sector and go long another? Just curious how everyone is trying to game the next several months as I expect there to be significant volatility which can present some great opportunities. Thanks.

AAPL never quite got under $100 but I bought some end of September around $115. I’m not confident in this event tomorrow though, it could be Apples “Battery Day” and stock could lose 10%. If it drops under $110 this week, will be buying some more, I think it will slowly rise as they release iPhone pre-sale numbers and get closer to launch day.

I think Tesla will ping $500/share again in the next 2 weeks. Was $440, so that's a 14% gain...

You could keep selling weekly out of the money puts at the price that you are willing to buy is a good strategy...I'm doing that with a handful of stocks now.

If MRNA dips further I may buy the dip ($130 and under).
-
Watch out for commercial reits due to covid. (office buildings, malls/retail)
-
Long term prospect for mall retail is not great, though I do own JWN. I think KSS has better chance being mostly located away from shopping malls. I was able to buy JWN and KSS down following the dip and is currently at +60% or so. I will hold until vaccine rollout which will probably give retail another bump.
For MRNA I bought from $75-$55. I think if it dips under $130 I will get some more, I expect the stock to bump after FDA approval and looking to exit from $180-$200. Also looking to pick up more INO if it dips under $12.
If NIO and PLTR dips by half from recent peak I will buy some too. Say $17 for PLTR and $30 for NIO.
For REIT I bought some KBWD and KBWY on dip couple months back. Will hold them for now.
My largest purchases went to oil/gas/energy sector and I'm hoping they'd get a bump after vaccine rollout next year.

Biden is looking to restore the $7500 tax credit for Tesla, which may boost Tesla sales and stock prices further.
I bought some lithium-cobalt-nickel (used for EV) mining penny stocks this week. $200 each, watch out for foreign transaction fees. These are all penny stocks for a reason, they are still drilling samples. If they hit a rich deposit the stock might jackpot. If not then it's throw away. Expect roller coaster rides.
Cruise Cobalt is also working on Cobalt sulfate refinery in Ontario, competing with First Cobalt Corp in Toronto. Long term industry trend is to move toward cobalt free lithium ion batteries, but in short to intermediate term demand is likely to outpace supply. (Cobalt is expensive)

I have a feeling that those billionaires will have a team of sophisticated traders and they will just take the cream off the top and retail traders will be holding the bag when the dust settles.

I like this explanation from reddit.
Let's say 5 banana's currently cost 10 dollar
- One ape on the market has 5 banana's
- Snake asks to borrow 5 banana's for a bit and instead sells the 5 banana's thinking price will go down soon (shorting). he thinks he can buy them later for less and give them back to ape, so he make's profit on the difference.
- Group of apes notice what stupid snakes are doing and decide to buy all banana's on the market until snakes have no other choice than to buy from the group of apes in order to return what they borrowed
- If group of apes stay strong then banana price will go up.
- There is a multi-billion dollar hedge fund (snake) that has shorted Gamestop (they've bet that the stock price will go down). People on wallstreet bets (apes) noticed this and told everyone that if they buy Gamestop stock this hedgefund will lose billions of dollars. This is starting to come true.
https://i.redd.it/hl971tz0ejd61.jpg (https://i.redd.it/hl971tz0ejd61.jpg)
If it continues the investors hope that the GME stock price will skyrocket and they will be able to sell for lots of profit.
Right now GME is almost $200.

This is like 1999 all over again. They lure in the masses then cut off their heads. All these would be Bud Fox's/Robin Hoods are about to learn a valuable...and expensive lesson in the stock and crypto markets. Some things never change.

I got burned on GME yesterday. Bought high and panic sold low thinking it was going to hit rock bottom. Lesson learned, too stressful for me. I think TSLA and AAPL earnings will be enough stress for me tomorrow.

I read people are putting live savings into GME. If it falls, there dreams might be crushed.
-
Apparently several other stocks are on the short squeeze now.
If hedge funds stop their short-selling practice, that might add to the current stock bubble across the market. This is nuts.
-
There is nothing wrong with short selling...like playing the Don't Come line. Just need to always marry it with a call just in case. These are big boys going against the mob. Would not want to bump heads with Blackrock in this little standoff. Robin Hood will lose big in the end. Well as the old saying will prove true again...A fool and his money....
-
I heard somewhere that these funds are considering falsely releasing a short position while taking a much larger long position and hoping to profit from the wsb mob. Interesting times.
-
Wouldn't suprise me...Like Ackmans short in March...take advantage of all the fools out there and profit...
It’s douches like Ackman that screw up the average investor. This guy shot off his mouth on the 18th. Tanked the markets after he had established a massive short position. Then covered, pocketed 3 billion that he promptly put into the exact stocks he highlighted as in trouble. That is market manipulation and those the listened to him should be embarrassed.
Bill Ackman warned ‘hell is coming’ because of virus: He then pocketed $2B in bets against markets
Bill Ackman turned a net profit of more than $2 billion on Monday after he sold his bets against the market less than one week after warning CNBC that “hell is coming”
He then used those proceeds to wager that existing Pershing bets, including hotel operator Hilton Worldwide, would rebound.
The Ackman about-face came less than one week after he told CNBC that the United States was in jeopardy unless the White House closed the country.
That he added to his Hilton position using the money he earned from his bets against the market is notable after saying the stock could be headed to zero.

Can someone please explain the madness surrounding GME speculation? I'm not sure what subReddit has done here, but they just manipulated the market big time over the past few days.
Now, billionaire investors are getting skin in the game and benefiting from this ridiculousness! SMH.

There is nothing wrong with short selling...like playing the Don't Come line. Just need to always marry it with a call just in case. These are big boys going against the mob. Would not want to bump heads with Blackrock in this little standoff. Robin Hood will lose big in the end. Well as the old saying will prove true again...A fool and his money....
Not necessary. When industrialists sucked lifeblood out of workers, unions came along and weakened the power of the elite. Sure it was painful transition for some or most but in the end they were better off.
I see this WSB as a revolt of masses against wall street elites. Will some 'retards' as they call themselves lose a shirt? Yes. The billions that few short sellers are losing are bing redistributed across a much broader base. As a whole I am hoping that enough of whales take a lesson from this and overall manipulation of the market reduces by a notch.

The onliners are starting to cover their arses. Even though you make the calls they still have liability from the "suitability" flank if lots of clients lose money (which they will). Schwab lost a case in the early 2000's (after the dot.com bust) when they thought they were only an order taker and had no responsibility if their clients committed financial suicide through their services...they were wrong, and that set the precedent. The cycle continues today...Soon a Fed or Treasury official will make an "Irrational Exuberance" comment.

Unmask WSB.
The initial tout on Jan 13th caused 140M surge in trading volume in a day. That's $2.8B, or 100,000 retail investors taking $30,000 swings on a reddit tout.
300,000 taking $10,000 swings?
Oh wait, Robinhood average investor portfolio size is under $5000.

Anyone else sense how appropriate it is that "Robinhood" has been at the forefront of this chaos?
Not supportive at all of the casino that WS has morphed into. Yes, it's always been a rigged game, but now there are so many other ways to appropriate wealth from outsiders to insiders.
If anything comes out of this, I'd hope it would be a per trade tax (buy and sell) that Harris was promoting when she was a candidate. I' m not turning this into a political thread here, but realistically some sort of Washington intervention is likely to occur once GameStop et al finally settle out. Let's hope the curbs will be meaningful.

Tesla announces first EVER annual profit with earnings of $721 million in 2020 - but Elon Musk's firm falls short of Wall Street expectations
Tesla saw its stock soar in 2020 to make it the world´s most valuable automaker
The company earned $721 million, capped by a $270 million profit in Q4
It was Tesla's sixth straight quarterly net profit after years of mostly losses
Tesla said that excluding special items, it made $2.24 per share for the year, falling short of Wall Street expectations of $2.45
Earlier this month Tesla's market cap passed $800 billion for the first time ever
Once again the company needed regulatory credits purchased by other automakers in order to make a profit. Without $1.58 billion in credits for the year, Tesla would have lost money. Other automakers buy the credits when they can't meet emissions and fuel economy standards.

Tesla's Biggest Profit Driver Isn't Sustainable
Tesla's core business of selling electric vehicles to consumers still isn't profitable on its own.
Regulatory credits drive Tesla's profit
In the first quarter, Tesla booked $354 million of regulatory credit revenue: up 64% year over year. This accounted for 6.9% of the company's automotive revenue and 5.9% of its total revenue. Considering that Tesla's Q1 operating profit and net income totaled just $283 million and $16 million, respectively, this revenue stream represented the difference between a net profit and a significant loss.
A similar dynamic played out last quarter. Revenue from regulatory credits surged 21% sequentially and 286% year over year, reaching $428 million. That translated to 8.3% of automotive revenue and 7.1% of total revenue. Once again, regulatory revenue was the difference between turning a profit and losing money. Tesla posted an operating profit of $327 million and GAAP net income of $104 million last quarter.
These regulatory credits have been in demand recently, as major automakers haven't been building enough "green" vehicles to meet regulatory requirements in certain regions. Rather than paying the resulting fines or pumping out low-quality electric vehicles at a substantial loss, many automakers have found it more cost-effective to purchase extra regulatory credits from Tesla.

The only reason the losses are so high now is the value of that coastal real estate and allowing people to develop flood basins and fire zones.

The first law suits are Wheels Up!!... ;D ;D >:D
Robinhood sued by customers for restricting GameStop trading
Reddit-driven investment had seen stock price spike 700 per cent in just days
Robinhood customers have sued the stock trading firm after it restricted the Reddit-driven trading frenzy surrounding GameStop.
Robinhood was named as defendant in a pair of federal lawsuits filed by disgruntled customers in New York and Chicago.
The legal action came after the company on Thursday that in that some cases amateur investors would only be able to sell their positions and not open new ones.
The unusual move came as a reaction to the wild investment in GameStop that has piled up huge losses for hedge funds and Wall Street investors with short positions.

RE: @Morekaos hurricane post - some scaling for perspective:
Florida population 1980 - 10.19m
Florida population 2020 - 21.9m
I'm sure the same population growth could be statistically researched for all Eastern Seaboard states, but showing 1 state to start.
Also, $1.57b 1980 dollars priced in 2020 dollars is $5.25b
Using far lower population density (read: Housing) and not factoring dollar inflation gives a false impression of damage costs YOY. Just because the costs are higher does not directly indicate (key words) catastrophic climate change.

While I agree there was likely a regulatory shortfall, I don't really think it was in allowing the short interest to high. In my opinion, if you look at the chart and timing, the WSB noise on the 13th and through the 21st it was a minor squeeze event.
Then it totally blew up. Blew up right when all the financial media started picking up the story. CNBC, Motley Fool, down to the youtubers blaring easy $200 Grand a year.

Agree on media being a significant driving force behind this Gamestop squeeze. But this likely would not have happened if regulators stopped GME stocks from being shorted 140%.
There is zero fundamentals to backup the shorts. Shorting 140% of a company's total stock makes zero mathematical sense.
There's definitely an elemental of YouTube influencers, internet celebs, and other loosely organized capitals joining the pile-on, but this was fundamentally a trade that started by retail investors catching hedge fund managers with their pants down.
Also I think it's morally bankrupt to make the case against mass media / alternative media hyping the Gamestop squeeze when we legally allow hedge fund managers to go CNBC / CNN Business to pump/dump their stock picks while claiming to be "net neutral". There's no fundamental difference between the two.
For people who are not familiar with stock trading, hedge fund managers claiming to be "net neutral" while pumping their stock pick is the biggest scam BS that's regularly seen on CNBC.
Lastly. I agree with SGIP that we are in desperate need of a financial transaction tax. (and more transparency regulations)

There is a lot of conflict on interest going on. The hedge fund CITADEL has huge short positions on Gamestop stock. CITADEL also pays Robinhood for their order flows, about 40% of CITADEL revenue is from Robinhood.
If you had any doubts about America's priorities, just watch how this unfolds. I can almost guarantee the government will respond faster to a hedge fund losing money to reddit memes than it did to the capitol coup.

After this stunt I'm no longer going to fund RH and use ETrade which did not restrict any trading. I would close RH via ACATS but I'm not giving them the satisfaction of earning my $75 closing account fee.

Yeah, after they got a lifetime of another $2.4B on top of the $1B they got last week. Let's see how much longer until they need more capital. I'm glad I've stayed with TDAmeritrade over the years.
I haven’t dug in that much on RH, my basic guess is since a large chunk of their 2 million small accounts hopped on the 1700% rollercoaster, their minimum net capital requirement jumped a few hundred percent.
Caught a glimpse of Cuban squawking on CNBC flipping channels saying not fair to small investors not knowing their broker can’t handle it. My initial thought is that sounds good except RH, IMO, wouldn’t or couldn’t exist if they had more rigorous capital requirements.
GME is pounded today, back to back $100/losses which sounds bad, but it’s still up 500% from the initial move. At a float of 50M shares and daily trade volume sub 10m it doesn’t take much to push the stock.

I like the builder stocks...LEN, DHI, and TOL along with Zillow.
Of these, I like DHI the best and think it'd be profitable investment for 2021. However buyers need to be aware that in previous housing bubble, the stock price of these companies crashed hard from 2005 to 2009.
-
If worthless companies go sky high. I am out of the stock market.
I see another crash based on valuation.
I was watching CNBC and they said the market cap of GME was bigger than Delta airlines.
If GME management was smart they would issue more shares.
(Auto type feature has been finding me problems on my end)
Man oh man. Some people got wrecked.
No matter who is at fault or to blame. It is your money. So invest it wisely. There is no do overs.

The reason why I like Lennar is that I interact with that builder the most here locally and see how their incentives have dried up, sales have picked up, and they've been steadily increasing prices as their sales have picked up in the past 3-4 months. DRH is the largest homebuilder who is in the lower and middle market so they are well positioned as well.

Bought FISV today

GME continues it slow burn, and by slow burn I mean basically orbital re-entry. Currently at 62.
The stock prior to September ran sub 2 million shares a day, in September its quite clear the stock went into play price and volume moves that stuck for months. The reddit pumpers took early January before the reddit push, holding 50,000 shares and somewhere picking up another 500 calls (50,000 shares). Just a small fry taking a million dollar plus swing. Cheerleading the WSB to hold the line while saying he was going to update less often.
Where will GME settle out? With a stock that trades 2 million shares it takes very few to keep it bubbly. Is it a $5 stock, $10, $20 or $50 with diamond hands refusing to let go? It only has 50M shares out.

I wouldn't let 10 meme stocks get you out of the market. Especially when interest rates are at 0%. Look at GME getting pounded and as a result, all other stucks are generally up and I strongly think that will continue as most high growth companies especially tech are posting record high earnings. One can argue the valuations are getting frothy but with interest rates at 0%, its expected.
But in the end, its your choice and your $. Just keep in mind, time in market > timing the market.

Sold OSTK, still have some shares to sell later.

With vaccine rollout, there is pent up demand in retail, amusement, tourism, travel, and home shopping. Perhaps 2Q 2021 or after.
There are still many value stocks and sector stocks that are undervalued from last year, versus internet/tech/etc. stocks that have been greatly inflated. At some point we may see the inflated stocks deflate, and money flowing back to sectors that recover toward profitability.

I might be wrong, but reopening trade will not hurt tech names long term. As long as tech continues to grow earnings, I don't see reopening trades impact tech names long term. I find tech more of a defensive trade tbh. They are great to hold onto when you need to lockdown the economy and they will do better once the economy re-opens again. Keep in mind, we are spending more time then ever on the web and all that infrastructure is powered by these tech companies.

What do smarties here think of Palantir for the long term investment?
I have just started doing the research and I like it so far.
2020 revenue $1B
TAM is $120B
Their business model is Business to Business, and Business to Govt. services, worldwide, industry agnostic. My interpretation, kinda sorta recession-proof, and not much real competition to what they do.
In the next 5 years, even if they capture only 10-20% of TAM, that is significant growth and it will show in the stock price.
Another way I was looking at it. S&P500 companies generate 11.35T revenue. If just those 500 companies spend 1% for PLTR services to capture value out of their operations, that is 113B spend. The other hald can come from Govt contracts. And, this is just US. Intl, govt. and businesses are not even factored in.
I am probably getting ahead of myself here but is this next TSLA?

I picked up STMP and AYX today. Off of today’s prices they should provide 20-30% returns in the next couple of months if they stick with their recent trading patterns.

The largest dips by % were RIOT MARA MSTR AQB ALTO INUV and SOS. Liquidated RIOT MARA MSTR, added AQB ALTO and SOS on dip.
Dollar wise, the biggest drop from single stock was CLGX as it retreated from $90 to $83. This is my largest single stock holding by $ so the dip was significant in dollars. For comparison, the combined value of all 7 stocks mentioned in first paragraph is less than my CLGX holdings.
For 2021 to date, at peak I was up +$73,500 since Jan 1st. Currently up +$59,500 as of this writing, so the account has dipped about $14,000 from peak.
-

If you own SOS stock, check Hindenburg Research post on Twitter claiming the company is a fraud and stock value is $0. While I cannot validate their claims, you should probably limit your risk exposure.
Note that Hindenburg Research is a short seller, so there is financial self-interest on their part.

Few random thoughts today
* Taiwan’s drought is hitting semiconductor companies like TSM ASX (ASE) UMC etc. causing stock dips. The annual plum rain season usually starts in may and can rain for a month. Can’t say for sure if drought will continue this year or the rain season will refill reservoirs. The stocks might be a good gamble on dip.
* GM has EV line from $4500 mini EV in China (outselling Tesla 2:1) to $130k EV hummer in US. Compare to Tesla GM’s P/E seems far more sensible.
* Ex chief of Apple’s CPU design bailed to setup his own company couple years back. Qualcomm is buying them for $1.4 billion. The guy took Apple’s Crown Jewels with him when he left (M1/SoC design) and wanted to sell to high end server market. Qualcomm will likely have mass market ambitions. Expect Apple lawsuits to fly, but if Qualcomm is successful they will go head to head vs AMD and Nvidia.

So AMD is buying XLNX with stock swap of 1.734 AMD shares per share of XLNX.
At today's prices AMD is $76 x 1.734 = $131.

Performance check on RE/Builder related stocks since purchase this year:
DHI +18.21%
LEN +20.27%
Z -12.18%
DOOR +10.68%
HD +20.54%
GHVI -13.59%
Note the winners were mostly "hardware" vs losers were mostly "software". I'm still bullish on GHVI merger with Matterport.
-
Loved the builders this year....LEN, DHI, and TOL. I think they may flatten out a bit as rates rise and once inventory levels begin to tick up it'll be time to bail out.

With people getting vaccinated and summer coming, I've purchased some boating and outdoor sports related stocks. Stocks that made it to my select list should be profitable with growing revenue.
Here's a list of boating stocks:
Boat manufacturers
BC (owns Mercury boat engine)
MBUU
MCFT
MPX
Boat resellers
ONEW
HZO
I purchased ONEW and HZO, both are boat resellers. HZO sells new/used boats, financing/insurance/brokerage on boats, and various boat/marina related services. I like the diversity over the boat manufactures which only make money selling new boats. This is not to say the manufacturer stocks won't make money, but I have to limit myself on number of stocks purchased or else it will grow to unmanageable size.
Sporting Goods:
NLS (they make bowflex which you might have seen on TV)
COLM
AOUT
VSTO
Sporting goods retail:
DKS
ASO
BGFV (higher risk)
For sporting goods I bought NLS, AOUT and VSTO. This is reverse of the marine sports stock purchases where I'm buying sporting goods manufacture stocks and not the retail stocks.
AOUT and VSTO used to be part of firearms & sporting goods business, but they've separated from Smith & Wesson and Savage Arms/Stevens. As Everyone is aware firearm business is high liability and subject to consumer boycotts and such. AOUT and VSTO now sell shooting sports accessories and various outdoor sporting goods like camping and hiking. With summer coming business will be good.
The sporting goods retail stocks have low P/E ratio but again, I had to limit myself to fewer stocks purchased. BGFV (Big 5) was at $1 last year and ballooned to $18 this year. If you want to play this I would wait until earnings call (tomorrow) and the profit taking dip. With so many people making huge gains from their bet last year, expect higher risk and profit taking dips.
Note that if you're looking for Sportsman's Warehouse, Bass Pro Shops and Cabela's, they're owned by Great American Outdoors Group (not publicly traded). Gander Mountain/Gander Outdoors is owned by Camping World Holdings (CWH).
Stocks that I rejected: (your opinion may vary)
JOUT
WWW
ELY
VFC (Dickies, Timberland Pro, split from KTB)
KTB (Lee & Wrangler Jeans)
UAA
DECK
ESCA - these guys make indoor and backyard games/sporting equipment and did exceedingly well during the pandemic. But I'm looking more for outdoor sports/boating stocks.

Buying CRSR on dip
https://www.investors.com/news/technology/crsr-stock-news-corsair-gaming-crushes-q1-sales-earnings-estimates/
"The Fremont, Calif.-based company earned an adjusted 58 cents a share on sales of $529.4 million in the March quarter. Analysts expected Corsair earnings of 33 cents a share on sales of $449.7 million. On a year-over-year basis, Corsair earnings rocketed 346% while sales jumped 72%."
"For 2021, Corsair upped its revenue outlook to a range of $1.9 billion to $2.1 billion. Its previous range was $1.8 billion to $1.95 billion. It also increased its adjusted earnings outlook to a range of $245 million to $265 million, vs. its prior guidance of $215 million to $230 million.
Wall Street had predicted Corsair earnings of $1.55 a share on sales of $1.9 billion in 2021.
In afternoon trades on the stock market today, CRSR dropped 5.8%, near 31.50."
P.S. Big 5 did great today. I think I should look at DKS and ASO. DKS earnings call May 26, ASO in June.

Summer months are usually a bust for propane due to lower sales (don't need it for heating). We'll find out in 3 months if there is sufficient increased sales for an earnings surprise. Currently the estimate for Q2 2021 is -0.41 EPS for SPH.

NVDA and TSM stocks account for almost 20% of my IRA, I need to diversify my purchases. With the latest government plan to invest in domestic semiconductor sector, it might be worth looking at intel, micron and global foundries (IPO pending) again. For those interested look up Micron's 1-alpha DRAM tech that doesn't require EUV.
I've acquired a small open position in SMG (Scotts Miracle Grow) on dip. Rather than buying weed stocks I'll buy SMG which owns Hawthorne division, top seller of hydroponics equipment to weed industry.

I purchased quite a bit of sporting goods and boating stocks. The sporting goods stocks did well and boating stocks are down 10%-20%.
With recent market dips, I've set a lot of lowball limit orders. Earlier I set SMG limit buy at $150 and LOGI at $100. Today I used Q1 prices as reference and put in more small limit orders on about 20 stocks. Basically betting ~20% drop by Oct-Nov.

FL stores are usually inside malls, however since they believe many malls have... dim future prospects, FL decided to open large stand alone "power stores" like KSS. Due to COVID-19 last year the store openings were paused, but has since restarted.

Aren't you guys too lazy to make the effort to drive to a shoe store nowadays? I just order on zappos and return with free shipping both ways if it doesn't fit.

Supply chain issues?

I only mail order shoes (and pants) of specific model that I already own and know the fit. In the past I would visit the ECCO shoe store to find shoes that fit well, buy a pair, then wait a year or so to order the same model/size shoe from outlet store.
Because Ecco tend to retire their Biom models after a year or two, when I find one that I like and it gets retired to outlet store, I'd stock up. I think I still have like 2 or 3 new pairs in the garage.
I'm only buying small open positions in FL and LEVI. I suspect we may have a dip in Oct. The stock will be held until 1Q 2022. Hopefully these retailers will get sufficient stock for black Friday and Xmas season.

foot locker recently opened a large standalone store like this about a block from me. it was formerly an american apparel. there are lines around the block any time there is a shoe "drop". also the occasional shooting. they seem to be doing pretty good business though.
-
Foot locker plans to eventually close some existing stores, located mostly inside malls, and replace them with smaller number of "power stores" that are much bigger in size.
At Downey/Norwalk they are opening a new Power Store across from Stonewood mall, next door to Big 5. Sneakerheads will rejoice.

FL is approximately down 17-18% in the past 6 months according to yahoo finance charts as of today.

a lot of high growth name stocks are easily down 15%+ since the top because of higher "bond yields".... Because these tech companies are totally impacted by supply chain issues and covid.... i find the narrative hilarious when people say sell the tech names due to high yields. they don't know anything about tech if they say that.
-
Yeah, but not all have known supply issues.

I would say 80%+ high growth tech names have no dependency on supply chain issues besides semiconductors that I'm aware of. But that just means they can increase the price of the chips since everyone and their mother need them right now.

So what is the story behind FL.
When Nike released q1 earnings they talked about supply chain. Also, Nike is selling dtc through its website and app.
I guess I dont see the buzz behind Foot locker.

I've been watching this older YouTuber (I think late 70's) who really makes a good case for Editas stock (TICKER: EDIT). He feels the next catalyst sector is gene therapy and disease cure, etc. Bought some in my Roth earlier this week for $36, this guy thinks it has the power to go 10x-15x in 5ish years, so I'll probably ride it out for awhile and see how it goes.
Also hoping TSLA breaks out next week after earnings and finally hits that $1,000 mark. It's hard not to invest in TSLA when you live in Irvine and see literally what feels like 25% of the vehicles on the road are Tesla's.

Did a buying spree of high quality tech names during the big red days thanks to our government. Tech stocks have now gone up nicely.

Sleepy, we only lost like 5ish percent on the nasdaq. Wait until the real crash then you can buy at the 50% off sale.
Also feels like I should buy CVS stock. When the Biden mandate hits, 30% of American adults will have to test weekly to keep their jobs. I figure many of them will be running to Walgreens or CVS for this.

5% on nasdaq but 15%+ on individual high quality names like DOCU, FIVN, CRWD, SQ, etc. I never believe in timing the market. A 50%+ crash is honestly not likely unless interest rates go up or some dramatic event happens. March 2020 was arguably the latest market "crash" that we had and those happen generally every 8 years.
Time in market > Timing the market all day any day.

Nike shifted to DTC (direct to consumer) and cut wholesale accounts with Big 5, DSW, Urban Outfitters, etc.
The current supply issues has caused many retail stocks to tank. KSS and FL dipped from $65 to $45, I've started buying both. I'm actually hoping they would dip further so I can average down.
These are not very long holds. I plan to sell them next year for a profit.
