Share Picks 2021 - Thread banned users post #1

DutchYurt

And we're off..

To start -
4D Pharma - incoming NASDAQ listing
ATVI - My gaming stock pick with COD and PS5
AYX - Software company, has been turbulent but I can see it going to 200
AMD - Switching from Intel
BE - Energy play for me
CIEN - Telecommunications/software leaders in their field think they have some growth
PSTH - No further introduction
SQ - Really interested in their play to become a bank and BTC payments. Banks are interested in fintech but I think fintech are more interested in banks.
CHGG - Online learning, I don't see it going any where soon - room for this stock would love to see a buy out
EDSA - I'm bag holding but will be super promising of the phase 2 trials go well for EB01/EBO5 buyer beware on this one
IAG - Want to see the damage Brexit does then will hold for a few years.

I'm also looking into some infrastructure engineering companies in the US alot of it has been put on the back foot by Trump, can't ignore it forever so should see some uptick with Biden.

Ive only 100 euros in it as to help me understand how it all works

I actually want to use some of my saving to put into long term shares but am waiting on a beginners guide advice from experienced people here

Im using Degiro as my platform.

fair play, that's the best thing to do when you start investing.

I remember when I got into it I made a few trades of around €300 each — bought at the peak not knowing what was going on, didn't know when to sell a stock, didn't understand how common and meaningless fluctuations are when you have a long term approach etc...

so now any time someone mentions they want to start I recommend splitting a couple hundred into €50 euro pieces and investing them for a little bit before you start putting the savings in. You can read all about markets but actually getting familiar and comfortable with investing your own hard earned cash comes with experience

to learn about markets, download Learn by MyWallSt app — an Irish company focusing on the US market. i recommend it to everyone

Based on what I've seen in this thread, I wouldn't count on this place for friendly advice.

There are non crazy investment subs on Reddit, however, like r/stocks or r/investing.

in fairness the reddit sub is r/wallstreetbets

You're in the same boat as me. I'll be putting stuff in this thread that I find useful

Do you think there is much chance of LOAC rejecting the vote? or is it more of a formality at this point?

What zoom do and the way they do it is great but its at most a 25-30 billion market cap to me. Just insanely overvalued. The only thing that might change my opinion on that is if they diversified into another area

Can I ask you how you come to that figure?

Unlikely I think, generally it's been more of a formality.

About 50% of the shares in LOAC are held by funds as well I think, wouldn't make sense for them to reject it en mass.

A positive for ford, but even with Google they are still the underdogs in the EV world. Google brings AI to the table but lacks any EV and is miles behind in radar, ultrasound, battery and Camera tech compared to Tesla, Nio and VW

The deal doesn't even have anything to do with that sort of stuff. They're just going to be using Android in their car's entertainment systems. It's not really a big deal.

That's all it ever was. WSB's was a parody account with memes laughing at Nikola, Luckin and whatever the comedy stock of the week was. It was never intended as proper investing advice

We have all heard the reports that Natwest may close down Ulster bank... If it does it will free up circa 15bn Capital which will enable Natwest to redistribute the proceeds to shareholders or to invest in upgrading it's online offering. With results being announced on the 19th of feb there is a good chance that Natwest will make an announcement in regards to ulster which may bump its share price.... Might be worth a punt for a 5-10% return.

Back of an envelope calculation, no point going too deep when there is zero chance I'm going to invest.

Main problems I see:

1. Microsoft Teams. As someone who uses Teams, Zoom, Skype, Meets and previously Slack, there are no longer any benefits over teams. The stability and features within teams has improved immeasurably over the past 6-8 months. Most enterprise customers already have teams....teams are renewing their partnership with SAP who have 440,000 customers, most of them being the biggest companies in the world. In a few years I don't see why companies would need both.

2. Zoom's period of immense growth is over. I expected them to diversify, even if only at at a high level by now.

3. I know working from home is here to stay long term but the impact of some companies returning to the office could impact zoom as they are pure video conferencing.

4. Trading at over 50* 2021 sales. Best comparison is slack being acquired for roughly 30* sales.

Competition is going to be their problem imo, I don't think zoom are going anywhere or contract but they need smart acquisitions to grow at anywhere near their current rate.

They are my thoughts, maybe others see something that I'm not?

I've always said Tesla are overvalued but I never really saw them as a tech/battery company, clearly I was wrong on that one

Another idea here, what if we have half a dozen share picks 2021 threads, one for penny stocks (under 5$), one for growth sticks, one for all EVs, one for covid recovery stocks, and an everything else, and then a pure chit chat thread. You get to pick and choose which threads you wanna keep track of and ignore the others in areas you aren't interested in.

Ive a few shares in them in the last few years and wouldnt go near them. ulster banks a tiny cog in their overall operation and they are still massivley owned by the british government and trying to sort out the early 2000s. I would also say i wouldnt touch european bank stocks

I am not bullish on any banks at the moment with the low interest rate environment. But can see a bump to the share price if it makes an announcement on this on the 19th. This would be a short term trade only.

If Ryanair breaks the €16 mark, I'm selling.

have to agree this sentiment on the banks. Low & negative interest rates make it even harder for banks to earn a return these days. a lot of loans would be margin of X plus Euribor/Libor etc. when these rates are on the floor theres no return.

and rates look to be low for the next while too. Most banks had to sell off a lot of profitable arms of the business (eg wealth mgmt, consulting/advisory) during the bad days. These are the areas that they make most of in the good days. trying to buy back now or rebuild a business is costly.

FWIW, I'm long BOI & PTSB from a number of years back. I've these as a long term play.

but again...what do i know..i'm also long GME

Gamestop up over 25% in premarket currently.

Any thoughts on investing in Roblox when it becomes available? It seems to have been delayed again.

My kids and my friends kids are addicted to this game but not sure if there is anything in it!

Anyone have any position in Virtu Financial? (NASDAQ:VIRT). I think they make more money when trading volumes are high - so possibly will do well with the influx of retail investors. Think I'll jump in today but may have missed the boat
