<GME>

This does look like a sustained upward trend the last hour or so.

Are you sure that's a reputable site?

It's a pro short squeeze GME website.

They are getting their data from those two sources I mentioned, both those sources are paid services probably expensive.

58% is still a very high short interest. I'm saying be careful as it is falling :cool:

LOL cant help but love the ironic entitlement and superiority of this comment.

Superiority, but but I didn't even mention the lambo I bought with my stockmarket gains!! (Joke for anyone who can't handle that, I'm actually still happily in a 2grand 09 car). My only apology is if anyone took me up the wrong way, I have a hell of alot to be thankful for with this investment forum, across my one year journey as an investor. I still cringe at some of the stupid pure gambles I made early last year, that was not investing. So all I'm trying to do is help out some beginners, that has become increasingly frustrating when you see people come on and make zero effort to invest, just happy to gamble away, I've no issue with anyone gambling, but for actual beginners like I was last year who wanted to invest money and get a better return than in the bank, what sort of hope do they have if they come here and see countless other people yoloing money into gme when the horse has clearly bolted and the downside risk is huge.

But anyways, this 2021 share picks thread, it was already a victim of its own success before gme, with 100s if not 1000s of stock recommendations in the hmm 7200 posts in it. Hottipper fair play to you, setup the very interesting stock picking contest, I've been thinking about other ways of improving this investment forum for all users, one idea, we could have a subforum where users set-up theirown personal thread, and give a lose breakdown of their portfolio and buys and sells (there is something similar in the athletics forum where you have your own training diary). Another idea would be to create a top10 beginners share picks thread, we all have a vote on what we think should be included, good entry points, and update it every month. Direct beginner's in to loosely follow it, rather than getting caught up in all the noise/carnage within the 2021 share picks thread. Anyone got any other ideas as to how to improve the forum? In terms of moderators, is Jim our only mod here? I respect that he isn't hugely interested in this thread, we could probably do with another mod or so, and their loose aim would be to try and keep threads in order, keep GameStop to the short sellers thread, direct beginner questions to the beginner thread, we can do alot more in terms of having some sticky threads (the 3 current stickys are totally obsolete).

Some good suggestions there but I guess it's quite difficult to stop threads getting hijacked or going on tangents.

I reckon over the next week or two this GME buzz will die down and we'll be back to a modestly busy forum with genuine stock discussion and recommendations. All we need is the main man Rigolo back and we're sorted.

Yes well said Timaay,

as a new investor about 3 weeks now, I found the recommendations and advice from you and other regular contributors to be very helpful, and I thank you for that. But in the last week or so, its got a bit out of hand with the added interest of GME etc..and sometimes ends up in a slagging match between posters.. For me this forum is very useful as a beginner and helps to learn a little about the market and the terminology surrounding it , so I am grateful for this and hope that it will continue along that path.

One way or another this will end. And afterwards there will be more people, myself for example, interested in investing after this first experience. So I think this influx can only be positive for the forum in the long run. Those who stick around after Gamestop might have a few quid to invest "properly" or will have gained valuable experience by getting burned. Either way we will need advice etc. on doing things in a more sensible fashion, in order to make proper use of and to protect our "winnings" or to avoid getting burned again.

I really like this idea. Maybe a mix of high/medium/low risk options could help investors depending on what their objectives are.

DulchieLaois · 01-02-2021 07:12PM

Let’s start with Gevo ?

SMT - I know it was mentioned here before. I bought some this morning with ii (not on Degiro). Over the next few months I think it's going to be my majority holding. It's a long term hold for me (10+ years) and may decide to buy some each month (DCA). Any thoughts?

I'm in SMT, I got in last year at just under 800 and have continued to buy. Would buy more but trying to keep diversified, last few of my buys were MyWallSt stocks of the month picks.. prologis, Home Depot, RH. They're not multi baggers but helping me get some equities that aren't all tech based. I picked up a good bit of Cloudfare, billing.com, DataDog, twilio, all doing well for last 3 months.

presume a lot of you have access to the mywallst stock picks etc or does anyone want to see this info shared ..i.e. the monthly stock picks etc?
I'm still a noob so I'm not exactly super confident with my own research..

Jams... thank you for setting up the thread. I stopped going into the 2021 thread... for reasons already mentioned...

homewardbound11 · 01-02-2021 07:36PM

Anyone have thought on NIo long term .
Also royal dutch( they seem to breaking out into wind energy ) again long term .

Gonzovision · 01-02-2021 07:50PM

Argo Blockchain is my pick so far this year. I have a position in Marathon since late last year and am hopeful ARB will trend in that general direction.

It's currently sitting at 82p, coming down from and all time high of 125p. This is a huge increase from a 7p per share in November.

They are a Blockchain Technology Company Focused On Large-Scale Cryptocurrency Mining.

Check out the below Seeking Alpha article for more info

Obviously price is tied closely to BTC, but the figures look good even if BTC is stable at $30k.

bish76 · 01-02-2021 07:58PM

Bought 650 shares of GEVO early today- now up 9%. Will hold for now and see how it goes.

ShineOn7 · 01-02-2021 08:16PM

RyanAir is down only 0.4% today

How is that even remotely possible?

Novavax, Inc. up by $50 today. This was $134 on Thursday and now $270

Put in limit buy order for 200 shares in NIO at 55. I don't think we will see that low today.

Had planned to put in an order for Novavax, Inc. but totally forgot and by the time I realized the price surged 60%. Their vaccine is in the news so still tempted to buy a small bit as it could continue upward trend with rollout of its vaccine.

Update on this Novavax seems to be doing great. Its up by $50 today (22%), the news around their vaccine has been positive

Have been thinking about taking a small position in ryanair for a while now...I know I should probably steer clear of airlines but they've been surprisingly resilient through all of this and it seems when there's a meaningful return to air travel europe will be carved up between ryanair in the west and wizz air in the east...both have extremely low unit costs, lots of liquidity and fuel efficient aircraft...anyone else have any thoughts?

Would be great to see the mywallst recommendations, how long have you been following them and how successful are they?

Have a small position in Argo Blockchain too, paid £1 per share, hoping it'll rebound

LC134 · 01-02-2021 09:07PM

Had to change my GME sell order about 3 times today but eventually it filled. Felt like wind was out of the sails and too many other new things being hyped - there’s only so much people can commit to. Out at a small profit on GME but AMC profit from last week meant overall my gamble “paid” off, maybe 45%.

In reality I wasted a serious amount of hours on it during work but chalking it down to experience and can’t complain when no losses.

Thanks for the tip in this one gonzo, I have been looking at the whole blockchain
space lately, also involved are riot, hive and Phun tech might be worth a look for you also.

signed up in October, think it was $79... they claim 174% versus S&P 56.8%... but I haven't verified that. I'm very happy with it though. There's not much advertising and pumping of additional purchases. I've had success with them - pager duty +67, Clouflare +37, Bill.com 10.79, Twilio+21, Etsy +39.
They announce a stock of the month, this month was issued today, ServiceNow (originally a SOTM in Aug 2018).
I find them good for long term investments...so far :pac:
I don't follow them blindly - but they provide a lot of info served up - good for someone like me that hasn't got the hang of doing all the right research yet..
Plus - they have a full back catalogue of their picks & performance.

Jan-RH (Restoration Hardware)
Dec-Prologis
Nov-Home Depot , Lemonade (had already bought in)

.

I added RH shorty before MyWallSt featured it. Was off the back of Galloway presentation that someone kindly prepared. Added some with recent dip to bring down my average price but am 1% down still. I was also monitoring WSM which is Pottery Barn and a number of other companies that do home furnishings etc. - RH is more upmarket and luxury.

I spotted Jim Cramer (I think) had WSM in his 2021 picks. It’s probably up around 30% since it was on my radar before Christmas but when it started to take off I couldn’t get in and felt I might be chasing so waited...

There was a very interesting Forbes article (can’t find now but was shared here or link to Twitter was) on US savings and spending, pandemic stimulus and actual impact on Americans. Example was for every 4 low paid 25k a year worker laid off, there was an executive or simile getting a 100k bonus. So the upper middle class US spending habits were also steering towards the home as they were spending more time there, WFH. etc. Hopefully RH earnings will reflect that!

Ryanair have a ton of cash.. I'm looking at them awhile but think share price can go lower. Imo, they don't pay dividend still I think so consider that too against others

Working out exactly as planned, dropped back to 3cent now, still way too extended but it's only afew days later, will I drop you a pm in a months time when I think its time to buy?

I'm definitely planning on getting into dogecoin at some stage, the fact that musk has pumped it serveral times across the last year means the odds of him pumping it in the future are very good also, however I'm absolutely not gonna touch it now, buying crypto alt coins while they are extended are like setting your money on fire for the short term, very likely your gonna see likes of a 70%+ drawdown (had that t-shirt, its not fun lol). Instead I'll be aiming to average into it in a month or so when everyone has forgotten about it, and then just sit on it till Musk pumps it again.

No, I don't buy meme coins. The fundamentals just aren't there.
