I can't find it of degiro or etoro

I'm hoping Degiro, but it's not a public company yet. They have just field to go public.

They don't appear until launched.

Degiro has been late to add a few of them too. Lemonade wasn't available for 2 days after launch

Huge thread on r/stocks about snowflake. I've been waiting for this one for a while. Cloud is trendy, and the stock market is nuts right now. This should be a good one.

I'm saving for a house atm, but I'm going to invest 1K in this on the IPO day.

Namely OPK(-16%),VXRT(-19%),SRNE(-31%),INO(-15%), ONTX(-78%!).

I was up like 40% in SRNE, should had cashed out !!
Now am down respectively 280 between 5 of them

interesting IPO coming up soon
https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1640147/000162828020013010/snowflakes-1.htm

Impressive list of customers shame about the name :pac:, anybody ever used it?

Cracking product - and very much optimised for the cloud.

Should become front runner in data warehousing over the next few years, only problem is the competition is Amazon, Microsoft, Google and MongoDB to an extent. You will get a lot of companies moving from Hadoop and such who will not want to use those competitors however!

Expect their revenue to keep growing - I see a lot of companies turning to this space to replace legacy warehouses. Buy Buy Buy - imo

As always with IPO's - expect volatility, 3-5year hold for me.

It is like the lotto, here is a summary of the vaccine candidates atm.

It’s much more like there’s more than one “winner,” since even the “leading” vaccines are not ideal across all demographics (INO-4800 P1 results were far and away the best, its primary disadvantage being the Cellectra - the delivery device). CanSino is already being issued to the Chinese military, but it reports severe adverse effects and is viral vector, so it faces challenges with efficacy in people with pre-existing immunity and is not ideal for vaccinating people age 55 or older. The UK's Oxford/AZN vaccine is adenovirus, has failed animal trials, and due to the risk of severe adverse effects, reportedly should not be administered more than once (which isn't great when you consider boosting). The adverse effects reports on both MRNA and PFE were terrifying, plus RNA vaccines require cold storage (tropical & subtropical market challenge) so there for all the promise there are still lots of challenges.

Didn't reply to you about the Vaxart and the Inovio Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

I bought and sold Vaxart shorly after buying it when it poped 50%. It's on the slide since but is still firmly on my radar. I like the prospects of both longer term but the trials are expensive as and both need further funding. Expect them to trade exceptionally volatile. The plasma news today was a total non event IMO.

I'm retired and my income has dropped to a level where I am taxed at 20% on dividends, which makes them attractive to me.

I hold AT&T myself, and have PEP, MDT, MMM, ABBV, AQN, BMY, MO, INTC, PPL and JNJ.
ALso hold BATS, UNLVR and IAG.

Most were purchased at lower levels than today's prices.

In addition I have small holdings in a few growth stocks and a couple of SPACS as well.

None of the above is investment advice, just a list of some of my stock holdings.

It really all depends on your personal situation vis-à-vis tax.

Speaking for myself, I wouldn't buy a companies shares solely for dividend, I would always have some expectation of capital growth too and see
dividend as more the icing on the cake.... When I see a dividend payment pop up on my account though, I get a warm fuzzy feeling.

I can't really suggest any additions to the above lists, unless maybe a REIT? and perhaps some diversification to EU or Asia.

Would you be willing to share some decent US dividend stocks that you feel are decent.

I’m new to shares but been slowly trying to buy up a few and found myself focusing on Dividebd stocks.

Right now I have a few IBM, EPD, Coca Cola, AT&T and Enbridge (CAD)... any others worth a look?

Better to focus on growth, unless near retirement.

+1 to this - I have work shares and have to declare the dividend in form 11 that I get every year - the tax man takes 52% of it ! Killer having to pay it !

My first experience of investing in shares was losing a fair chunk on Waterford Crystal. My next encounter with the stock market hAd a happier outcome with Telecom Éireann. My 3rd stock purchase was Bank of Ireland in 2010, which ended in tears earlier this year, when I gave up on them.

Now I'm retired and with a lump sum sitting idly in the bank, I decided to put some of it to work in the market. I hold 2 European shares, Shell and Unilever. The remainder are mainly dividend paying US stocks. I use a small amount for a couple of growth companies.

The US market leads the world, where it goes others follow. Ambitious companies want to be listed on the NYSE or NASDAQ, where they know they will get the attention they deserve. I also like the quarterly reports and dividend payments.

Only stocks I hold in euro are Airbus and Nokia.

Might add Sanofi and Total. Although either haven't moved much, there's room for recovery in Total. More of a hedge than anything.

I hold about 20 US stocks.

Whatever about extraordinary gains, you compare the s&p to the ftse across the passed 10/15yrs, and it's the difference between making a profit and only breaking even/losing out to inflation. Then things like stamp duty on Irish/UK stocks make it alot less favorable to do any sort of shorter team swing/day trading.

Except the FTSE is not Europe and it is a terrible poor index to look at even in the best of times.

And a part from being a general economic indicator, indexes have very little impact on individual investments in any case.

Very honest and very similar to mine . Eircom and banks . Didn’t do too well . Then tech stocks which took a nose dive in the 2000 era . So holding long would have seen some of the tech stocks recover and bloom . So not a pretty experience but like you I can’t see interest rates going into positive territory so divident the paying stocks in the mid to high single digit level interest is definitely on the cards . Probably more stable also .

It wouldn't be a strategy I'd favour. Costs are cheaper for US stock purchases as well. But if a good non US stock should be considered let us know.

On all things sports betting in America NBA playoff ongoing with NFL now in training camp and no major hiccups so far from what I can see. Fantasy football is huge in America and draft kings are one of the big boys. More confident that we'll see games now mid September. The big dollar industry will just chug on it seems.
