    Thinking of making my first investment of 2021 in Longview Acquisitions Corporation (LGVW). My understanding is that it's merging with Medical Imaging Provider Butterfly Network (its ticker will become "BFLY") and has been invested in by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation with the aim of selling medical imaging at affordable prices.

    Any opinions?

    Haven't read the investor presentation, but from Butterfly's website, it appears that they only have one portable machine.

    Beyond that I have no knowledge of the company.

    What do you think of the current valuation and what do you reckon will shift share price upwards?

    Is it the bill & Melinda bit that's the appeal?

    LGVW share price just under $20.00. Based on a value computed from forecasted earnings per share, forecasted earnings growth, profitability, interest, and inflation rates the value per share is $6.70. If this is correct the shares are overvalued. The upside potential and safety are both poor. Shares are rated a HOLD (not a Buy or Strong Buy). With No income Statement or Balance Sheet to look at - buying is like sticking a pin on the runners in the Aintree Grand National. Hope this helps.

    I didn't go for QS myself either. To be honest, this lat Chris Perruna has such a following at the moment that it seems he can move stocks on his own. He doesn't even own Fubo himself yet. While up 70% or whatever in a week is great, part of me is a little disappointed as I wanted to buy more at $30. First world problems.

    I've a feeling CURI may follow a simialr trajectory. It's a streaming dervice for documentaries, Discovery Channel, History Channel etc. Got a 25% jump today but is still only a $13 stock ($500mn cap). Seems to be the next darling of Twitter and Reddit

    Good call Shedite27... +19% as I type. I didn't pick any up - I had one punt and went in for PLTR at 23..

    Big bull flag on the DXY - might be a small correction coming in the near future.
    Have cash on the sideline.

    Timing the markets it something I don't put much faith in, truth be told. To each their own etc but it's just gambling.

    "might be a small correction coming in the near future"

    What's a small correction? :)

    My "Fomo" & "buy high, panic, watch it drop, panic some more, wait a while, it comes even, 10% return then bail - afterwards it climbs 40%+" strategy is going prettty good.

    But I agree, better to be in the market then trying to time into it.

    Someone here suggested Genius Brand International as a buy. Any further thoughts? Is it good share to buy? Googled it a bit and did not hear very positive news on this one.

    Earnings have declined by 87% over the past 5 years - does not have meaningful revenue at present - Share price $1.35 Value 0.25 cents - says it all.

    Took PLS quite a while to return from its lows so wondering how current price will be impacted. Tempted to take some profit but FOMO is playing its hand.

    Did you take them share options, crazy not to at .36c. PLS is up to 1.10 now. So glad I held onto them during the tough times

    Where are decent sites to buy US options for EU-based customers?
    Degiro doesn't offer much, nor does it offer as much in the way of SPACs and warrants.

    For SPACs I think you just need to email them to add the ones you want. The more people who do this the more SPAC's there will be on there.

    Which ones are you in currently?

    I use Interactive Brokers for anything complex like that.

    I did and same as yourself, glad I didn’t dump it when the times weren’t so good. One of the better positions in my folio.

    GME currently skyrocketing on the back of a proxy war and Michael Burry putting a big stake into it.

    I'd definitely recommend picking up post 20th April but only at a 3-4 dollar price range.

    Well I got in during the summer at 8 dollars.

    Happily holding this as my largest position still...

    29 dollars hit today.

    Can anyone explain to this mortal what problem the hedge fund companies have with what happened to GME? I mean so a Reddit forum pumps a stock price into oblivion. Why didn't they just stay away from the stock and continue with their daily business?

    Lots of explanations online and on Youtube.



    Hedge funds were short on the company (betting share price would decrease) to the point they were betting on it going out of business.


    Cut to better than expected market conditions as consoles launch, add some interest from massive players such as Michael Burry and Ryan Cohen. Share price goes up as Gamestop is now more valuable to people so they pay more per share for it. Now shorters are losing money. They've shorted over 150% of the outstanding shares, which is actually an illegal process. Heavily in losses they are forced to close their shorts as losses start to rack up, to close they pay market prices which squeezes the price to the moon which in turn means their losses grow as there isn't enough volume to close out their positions so they keep buying at whatever price they can get to hand back their borrowed shares.

    PDUFA came through last night. Should see a good move today. Could be some sell the news but Japanese approval due later in the month. Holding this

    BCRX soaring pre-market. Looks like there is a reddit run starting with it. still tremendously undervalued with Factor D on the horizon considering what Alexion is worth. Alex Denner doubled his position here and BlackRock increased by 3%. Holding long
