I don't post here that often but enjoy lurking and picking up the odd tip.

There was a few people posting about Aphria about 14-15 months ago and I looked into it and liked what I saw and bought in around $4. I see today that its trading up at $26 and I'm happy to hold on and see where the next year takes it if the Tilray merger goes through.

Search function tells me it might be evolving_doors or Bob Harris that were posting about it, so credit to them.

Ya that was me evolving_doors in a previous incarnation. (Im a legit re-reg before anyone asks lol). Apologies way back I recommended it also when it was $17 but then it tanked, thanks to shenanigans with Citron shorting.

Something funny about Aphria / Tilray merger (presume that's still going ahead).

Basically the deal is/was... Upon merging, for every Aphria share, you'll get 0.84 of a Tilray.
Now do the maths based on today's prices...
Currently Aphria is $33 and Tilray has shot up to $63!!!

I presume the gap will close closer to merger.
Lots of folk suggesting it's a no brainer to buy Aphria now and it'll convert to mega bucks later. It's not so straightforward though as Tilray could plummet when this whole pump n dump is over.

There is a better outline here https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/02/10/aphria-is-becoming-the-stock-markets-biggest-merge/

I was thinking that a lot more people would drive up the price of Aphria trying to chase after that sweet .84 conversion , but for some reason Tilray keeps bombing ahead. I know Tilray are being primed for US legalisation, but don't really see how they're valued at that much.

Maybe someone can help out with possible outcomes... Could there be a massive short coming for Tilray to completely collapse the green market! I haven't been watching the shorts.

Could anyone suggest a good site that you can compile the your stocks and watch the short positions over time?

It's just a bit fishy this time compared to the previous pre-legalisation rollercoaster in Canada.
A whiff of "Reddit" about it :pac:

TL:Dr I'm long on Aphria but just bought in again for a very quick short-term punt.

Got a few Tilray shares earlier in the week. Up 50% today , setting the stop loss on this one for sure.

Out of interest, what prompted you to go for Tilray as opposed to Aphria?

Supercell · 11-02-2021 08:55AM

Logged out yesterday afternoon about 3% down and decided to watch some crap on the TV instead, logged into Degiro this morning, ended up 2.96%, result!

The reason this thread was setup was because it was really annoying with all the GME talk going on. Some of us have no interest in getting involved, it wasn't because of your reasoning you mentioned either. I wasn't prepared to take a risk, if I wanted to do that I would just play roulette. The thread was full of updates on the price, it was like assh*les on FB saying 'oh my god its snowing' like we didn't have windows in our houses..

So at the time a lot of us were glad to not have GME talk clutter what the thread was meant to about.

If mods did their job there wouldn't be any issue as it was asked days ago numerous times fore the threads to be merged.

+1

I don't think anyone tried to stop discussion of all the short squeezing, historic events, or merits of the profit available there. There was simply a desire of some people, myself included, to have a discussion that didnt involve that sequence of events. So a separate discussion was started so both conversations could happen without interruption. If a person wants to only view one thread, they could, if they wanted to view both they could.
I had no interest in participating in the GME reddit stuff, so it was nice to see other discussion available here.

One thing I've learned is to take your prices from yahoo finance as Degiro seem to update their prices by carrier pigeon.

Ive noticed this.

It seems when you buy on Degiro. at a market price, you are buying at a different price as to what the degiro prices say on the screen.

Shedite27 · 11-02-2021 09:58AM

Yeah there were 5 pages of GME, AMC chat, and someone would post a proper recommendation in the middle and it was getting lost

Sold too early at 2.50 yesterday from .68, the volume is insane, swung into itrm hopefully till $5.

Atlas_IRL · 11-02-2021 10:48AM

Noticed something recently where my limits were not being hit even if I put them higher than the price i'd have to do it like 5 times. This has happened on the last couple of trades. could just be me though! Also the yahoo finance price was a good bit different at the time then ****ty degiro.

Yeah pshychadelic research has been ramping up recently and has been the next hot stocks for a while. I've gotten in on the Cannabis train early and today it's smashing it through the roof. I'd say the psychadelics market will start to grow soon.

Yeah looks like I got out of SNDL too early but was happy with the jump from .65 to over 1.

On the back of the shroomstonks I jumped on BGHM, SEEL, 4YX, 0NFA, 31R. Don't expect these to move much for the foreseeable.

Underground · 11-02-2021 11:23AM

Bought some Blackline (BL) a couple of weeks back. Accounting SaaS company, $8bn market cap so plenty of room to run. Up 6% pre market this morning ahead of earnings call today. One to watch.

gocall01 · 11-02-2021 11:38AM

Good Morning,

I'm based in Ireland, I've been following this thread on and off for some time now.
What online broker do you guys use/advise to use, mostly interested in the US markets?
Not looking at day trading, more a research, buy and set stop losses & profit taking ranges.
I'm not a total novice but out of the game for a bit, while concentrating on the crypto.
I would be small time stuff initially.

I've seen Degiro with its obvious flaws mentioned.
Is MyWallSt. something worth pursuing?

Any other suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Cheers,
Ger.

Some of the exchanges like NYSE are 15 minutes behind so it could be that?

cc87 · 11-02-2021 11:43AM

Do people have a PT in mind for OCGN if phase 3 trials are positive and EUA is granted?

I've taken considerably more than my initial investment out of it now and very tempted to leave whats left in there for the long run. The potential for covaxin to work against variants seems to suggest it has potential to increase considerably more than the jumps we saw for Novavax/Moderna.

Rcfp · 11-02-2021 11:48AM

If it hits 13 again I'm taking profit. Market is crazy volatile.

I just have the yahoo finance app on my phone/laptop with my portfolio saved in it and use that to track them then switch to degiro to make a trade.

Hi Her I think a lot of your questions are already answered in the "beginning to invest" thread. For what it's worth I've started using Mywallst on a recommendation here for the last 10 days or so and would definitely recommend it.

JeffKenna · 11-02-2021 11:54AM

Hmmmm sold some JD sports shares on Degiro yesterday and they are still in my portfolio. Sold them again this morning and my portfolio seems to be inflated with the shares still there. Only a small amount but probably no harm keeping an eye to make sure all transactions are going through correctly.

If it goes up to the mid teens again I might take some profit but I'm tempted to leave what I have left in till word on the approval comes back one way or the other. Up slightly pre market this morning.

Sharing an excel instruction video I found for those of us trying to get a handle on our portfolios. There's a lot of good functionality in there that may be of some use to some of ye.

Bit of an obscure one, and a real moonshot, KR1 PLC, market cap $60mn

They're a company involved in DeFi, which is essentially the next step of Bitcoin, building financial systems that are based on crypto rather than normal currencies. After last week's shenanegins with the Fed getting involved in Robinhood, I can see this getting more mainstream. The company is a small operations, out of Isle of Man, they essentially are consultants that help out setting up systems, but they get equity in the systems they setup so you're buying a stake in those. They also hold a lot of obscure crypto so as those prices rise, you get a chunk of those too. You can see a list of what they're invested in here
https://www.kryptonite1.co/investments

This is a real longshot, one to stash in the portfolio and not to look at for a year or so. It only trades on some obscure exchanges, neither of which are on Degiro. In the UK, it's on the Aquis exchange under KR1, in Stuttgart it's on the Boirse exchange under K4H (you can buy this on Interactive Brokers). It was trading about 20c a share at Christmas, currently about 60c. I reckon it gets a run while this SEC investigation goes on, and if it goes for Nasdaq listing it would be a nice boost too.

I bought in about 2 weeks back at 50c

OK, it's 11 days since the above was posted, in that 11 days K4H has gone up 200% (and counting hopefully), pretty impressive, enough for a wee vacation (travel restrictions permitting of course) in Tahiti, I'm awaiting the next tip to purchase the villa.
Thank you Mr/Mrs Shedite

No need to pay, as someone mentioned Yahoo Finance is live, I actually find Stocktwits pretty good too. Best option really is to just open the live ticker on the exchange itself in a separate window and use that.

Keep that money for stocks!

The swings on NAKD are unbelievable

NAKD has been feeling the love a bit over the last few days (not sure why), closed at $1.52 yesterday and around the mid $1.80s in pre-market.

Castor Maritime up again today, broke the dollar mark quicker than I expected. Still looks very volatile but the trend is also still upwards on that.

So, I'm there looking at charts and figuring this is on a decent upwards trend from around $0.85.

It's a bloody meme stock

alas, let's just ride the wave!

Yeah it's Mr.Shedite - Mrs.Shedite is the one telling me to stop putting all my savings into stocks and leave it in a savings account :rolleyes:

As I mentioned above, this got added to the US market yesterday, so should have a nice little run ahead of it. This and ARB (a Rigolo company), which mines Bitcoin are two excellent Crypto plays, I imagine both would like to get to Nasdaq at some point in the next year which would drive it on further (ARB probably further along that route).

I've a nice cash reserve built up myself, any companies in particular you're keeping an eye to?

TBH i'll be looking at the same regular ones but at lesser buy points.

usually I ignore FAANG stocks, but Apple and MS Look very attractive, i'm also looking at Qualcom after it's recent fall.
