Hmmm, I think our definition of through the roof differs!

Kosmos Energy up nearly 19% today.

Can someone explain the value of these notices about stock price increases? There's no analysis provided, no suggestion on what you are trying to indicate. Buy, Sell, Hold etc...

Add's a lot of noise.

I guess I could have added to my earlier post wondering why there was a sudden jump for GAN, was there any news released etc.
Don't think this thread was ever purely for picks or tips, it's always had a general chat vibe to it.

XL Fleet went ballistic today - down 10% yesterday on the ticker change and up 50% today at one stage. Looks like ringing the bell this morning had an aphrodisiac effect - In at 11.65 out at 27.00...$2 above my target price and a lot sooner than hoped.
I'd be happy to get back in here but at much lower levels which I expect it to retrace to.

The upshot is that after this and a few other home runs in December I have more CGT to pay than I had paid for the year up to November.
A good problem to have.

Jim, claiming to have many years investment banking experience doesn't give you credibility on this board. Your low regard for the competence of retail investors doesn't make you look professional or knowledgeable

If you posted about stocks that you are currently interested in, people could make up their own minds on your depth of knowledge.

Your money, your opinions do as you wish, just don't expect me to agree.

Mod Note: OK guys tone it down. We are all entitled to opinions but there is no need to be condescending to others

Cant remember who tipped XL Fleet pages back - had a small punt on it as I've too much EV already - will pay for a few X-Mas present at least - cheers to the original tipster!

+1 on the earlier post about keeping an eye on Ark investments - I have Teladoc & KE Holdings after tracking for a while - reading the information available on the site is very useful - Ark Invest view of the future of 3D printing is very interesting...

PSTH has been going sideways for the last while and then today at about midday US time it jolted by about 4%... volume is up. Must have been a massive buy by somebody in the know?

Speculation is that it could potentially be Bloomberg, Stripe or Fidelity... will be very interesting Q1.

Probably end up a 5% stake in subway or kfc

It started about 6:45 Irish time, and went up 4% in around 15 minutes, before giving up a couple of % very quickly. Not huge volume but 3 times the average. Has gone up a little again after hours. News or social media speculation?

Alibaba down 7% in pre-market after anti-trust investigation announced. Based purely on the financials it looks like a great entry point - the Chinese middle class is growing fast and they do all of their shopping online. The only wildcard is the CCP...

Good call ... climbing away, I got in after you posted this and I checked it out... thank you..

Yeah, MP Materials worked out very well, for anybody who jumped in when I mentioned it :-)

You are always worried after a stock goes on a run like that .... that as soon as you hop on...it falls on its backside...and your left bag holding...but all good this time.

I think TDOC will hit 350$ once first quarter results which show the combined livongo acquisition results. Cloud MD will also at least double next year and will be a buyout target. I have big hopes for it. GEVO I think will move up pretty fast possibly to 10$ once their expansion funding is confirmed, if it realises a fraction of its potential 25-60$ is a 2/3 year target. PLUG is where GEVO is now price wise 12 months ago. Others to consider.

Good luck all

GEVO has been doing quite well since you mentioned it yesterday!

I'm amazed reading the posts on here. It all seems to be rumours, tips and quick ins and outs hoping to make a quick buck.
Does anyone actually look at the financials of the companies and go the 'value investing' approach? I'm trying to get my head around balance sheets, cash flow statements etc myself at the moment. Anyone else take this approach?

Yes. I'm not a trader, not that I've anything against that, I'm a buy and hold person, have sold a stock in 6 years. My gains are modest, I've had some good picks over the years, mastercard and visa being my big winners

Most of my portfolio is comprised of buy and hold dividend paying stocks.

That said, I do like to take a little punt(usually €200-€300) on a promising SPAC. LAZR has been my star performer, followed by VLDR.
Holding DDDD(bigger punt) and LOAC in anticipation of their merger, also DMYD, BFT and PSTH.

Luckily, I haven't found a dud yet ☺️.

Good fincials is for value traders to be honest, it's over my head but from what I see you're capping yourself at what a blue chip company can compund at.

Most posters on here seem to be younger type, who are looking for growth stocks, where the story of the industry and the company matters more. Spotify signing Joe Rogan interests me more than the PE ratio or free cash flow on the balance sheet. They can have all the cash in the world, but unless they spend it wisely, it's not doing much more than share buybacks and dividends (that are taxed too highely for me).

Best story of the week for my portfolio was Peleton, who are struggling to keep up with demand, buying a company that make fitness equipment. The company they bought have huge manufacturing facilities, hence solving Peloton's problems. That's the stories I look for, not any multiples based on last years manufacturing and sales. Those stories like Peloton can boost a price 15% in a day.

Merry Christmas to all folks. In a pretty ****ty year that took us away from most of the things and people we enjoy, seeing the portfolio balloon like it did was a little bit of joy most days. Some great tips and discussion on this thread. Looking forward to a stellar 2021. If it's 10% as profitable as 2020 I'll be happy.

Delighted to hear that, they were around a buck 15 at the time I tipped/bought in , sitting at 2.86 tonight. I trust your now out of that hole friend.
Probaly have some more room to run. Took 2 months of patience. I dumped a good chunk under the $2 . But they are one on my list to play again in early 21 Biden will give all these green energy plays another lift.

Dont forget to take profits... any fool including me can ' make profits ', but it takes smarts to ' take profits '.

GEVO
Another 25% today Rig, I’ll be cashing out today

There are two types of investors which I've read someone more seasoned comment on before, the analytical who looks at all the financials, debt, cashflow, charts etc and the feelers meaning they have a feeling about a company, market, industry, ones for want of a better example have a good feel on macroeconomics, governments/political movements, societal physcology/consumerism etc (Investing in epic games because of fortnite because everyone was playing it, investing in work from home tech at the news of a pandemic etc).

Of course it's good to have the the fundamentals covered but with the current market the finances don't make sense, some companies with incredible Q1 results drop 10% and other companies fly up 20% on a rumour. Bit of a crapshoot at the moment for both types!

Then again what do I know.. just my two cents. I'm not writing any books on it any time soon
