Highly speculative cobalt junior miner: Ardea Resources recently IPO'd and currently priced a 0.31. Market cap 20m AUD.

Cobalt prices are just beginning to spike back up again and with the current shift to electric vehicles taking the world by storm this could work out very nicely.

Anyone stick it out with this stock since February? Unfortunately I had to sell at around 0.7 but it's up at 1.03 now. You'd be sitting on 322% gain in 8 months :pac:

Anyone checked this ETF out? Artificial intelligence picking the stocks, only up and running since October, but outperforming the S&P so far.

Tried to find this on Degiro but it doesn't appear to be on it. Does anyone know if they have to be contacted to put it up on the site or do they just take a few days to do it seeing as it's a new fund?

Email DeGiro support and asked them to add it. Normally takes 1-2 days.

Any legs still left on her before I start any research?

Got in at 0.29 AUD, closed at 1.14 on Friday. 393% gain which is incredible stuff.

Yeah found it today, had foolishly not unticked the "show only popular products" box.

In a similar vein there seems to be a new etf about to launch on the Toronto exchange with ticker MIND which is also ai driven, but it appears to be based off holding a portfolio of etfs instead of individual stocks.

An interesting idea.

Fund of funds have been around for years. Often only open to big time investors.

Nice find. Not for me - I love the idea of AI dispassionately decoding what to invest in, but from looking at the data sheet, straight out of the gates it’s heavily restrict d to US exposure - which defeats the purpose a bit...
Also, the fees could end up being high...monthly rebalancing, TER if 0.55% and presumably fees on each invested ETF

JC Penny taken a hammering the past year, gone from 10.50 to 2.80. What's happened there?

Saw this yesterday, they have taken a fair hammering this year, down 42% in the last 6 months while the sector is down 15%. The most recent collapse on Friday came after they cut full year guidelines. They could be oversold with opportunities for a quick buck turnaround but not for widows & orphans.

US malls are empty. Basically, Amazon's eating its lunch.

JC Penny's been limping along for the past five years or so. There were hopes of a turnaround but seems not to be materialising. Their forward guidance keeps disappointing.

Anyone investing in the new medicinal business in Canada, i’m in weed.ca (canopy growth) for the last 2 weeks and it’s flying doesn’t seem to be stopping,

Excuse the pun but it’s a stones on Degiro, you can buy and sell Canadian stocks at market rates but there not reflected in real time but do appear in your portfolio.
For example I know I’m up more today but it’s still not reflecting the close price today so will be tomorrow before I see today’s profit reflected in my portfolio, it doesn’t stop you buying and selling during the day though.
Not sure I’d buy in right away as it could pull back to $12-16 area then buy the dip, Who knows where it’s going though seems only one direction.

PLS heading for a dollar.

Paristocrat · 07-11-2017 01:30AM

Im currently Up 80% on Weed !
It's a bubble alright. Over on the reddit weedstocks forum there are noobs asking if they should throw 150k at it or not. Lots of new entrants buying on the news.

The 10% buy-in by Constellation Brand is a bit of a worry. It could signal the start of a sell off and the news has obviously triggered a frenzy.

It's like dot com all over again.

Yes it’s been happening every day. 15% is a bad day.

surely its worth a small punt then

drunkmonkey · 07-11-2017 10:53AM

It’s on Börse Frankfurt.(up 12% this morning)

How do you get out of a trade on the Börse if it drops when the market closes in Frankfurt? Or what way does that exchange work.

It’s is but is it a long play at this stage or only the beginning. A little farm now has a market cap of 2bn.

Is it legal for an Irish person based in Ireland to actually own these stocks. Kinda feeling a little like Howard Marks at the moment.:)
