    Lot of new posters in here today.

    Too many comments to reply to, in general, this is a very unusual week. Nobody knows how it’s going to end. Only put in what you can afford to lose. If you’re buying New Zealand Lingerie companies (NAKD) with your rent money, you’ve a 50/50 chance of doubling your money or having no rent money

    AMC will be fine for another few days. Just a bit of profit taking at the open and the close today. I’m not sure I’d be buying in at this level tho, this thing probably goes to 30/40 but it may not. There’s easier ways to make money

    Another one to watch : First Majestic Silver Corp.

    Well that was a wild day with GME went in with DeGiro account with €15k yesterday day evening closed out before close tonight ended the day with €36,838 up total of €21,838 all done multi tasking with a 5 year old doing his school work making lunch and getting him to bed and i might add reading him a story ...i need a drink

    Fair play. Funnily enough I was also multi tasking, teaching from home while watching things with GMR. But playing with only about 2.6k. Still not good for blood pressure!

    Could have just bet it on a horse. Much quicker.

    Does NAKD have the potential to explode? Has is been highly shorted? I am a complete noob, tried to make a Degiro account to buy some before close but I was too late (not on revolut)

    this did not age well :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,393 ✭✭✭dan786


    Its going to be one stockafter another now with several heavily short stocks being out in the public so you could make a killing if you do it right

    Easy man. I've 90% of my portfolio in long positions such as Shopify, Pinterest, Amazon, Sales force, Stichfix, Crowdstrike, Data dog etc. I know I took a risk. But that was my own choice. I got out when share price 350,which was the exit I chose. Many many will hang in with these until at least Friday close. Irealise I was lucky but no need for the harsh comment.

    It's not harsh. It's just accurate.

    Says the guy who is investing since last November and described today as a 'disaster for me' beacuse you are down 5%. 5%!!! May as well sell all your positions and get out while you still have your underpants.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,393 ✭✭✭dan786


    KOSS went from 93$ after hours down to 49$ , there is a high short interest on this stock so keep an eye

    Blood pressure was ok thanks had stop loss of - 5 percent in fact doing the school work was more stressful as you probably know... back to the bread & butter stocks tomorrow for me

    I mean, long term trading is a gamble too, maybe with shorter odds but still risky. Was easy to make some bit of profit today even for people who didn't know what they were doing, not so much when betting on horses

    If the casino atmosphere remains I will. This isn't investing.

    Yeah great analogy. The roulette wheel usually is 140% shorted, and has 3 million people bigging it up on a forum as well as Elon 'Midas' Musk giving it a thumbs up on twitter. . Jesus guys, I get why most people didn't play this but chill out with the jibes. Yes it was a risk (and is an even bigger risk to still be holding, ye have big balls lads!) but it wasn't a complete flyer. There was reason to buying in with the unique, probably one off set of circumstances.

    Think you got me wrong..I was in on BB and still in on AMC if you've been reading previous posts in this thread. Can still joke about the situation, no need to get defensive. I'll always throw some YOLO money about every Q on 1-3 while keeping the rest on more stable picks.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,222 ✭✭✭Valhallapt


    Been investing for 5 years, buy and hold strategy some big winners some losers.

    But I’ve made more money in the last 5 weeks that I have over the previous five years, mostly down to wall streetbets subreddit.

    Ah fair enough, apologies. I thought you were having a hop!

    That added another million users today, I suppose this was inevitable.

    Discord banned their server. Nothing to do with stocks.

    Apparently there was a monetary "insentive" to shut down WSB, wouldn't be surprised if the same thing happened for the discord
