Stock market at the moment is decoupled from traditional concept of investment where shareholders get a profit of the company. Its pure speculations fuelled by COVID-19 money and people stuck at home. We are playing zero sum game where someone wins at the expense of someone loosing. Social media only highlights winning though.

I get that. My problem is I've always traded long. I'm trying to learn more about trends, fundamentals etc and making choices based on what I believe to be a solid theory when in reality what I'm seeing is the beginning of a reddit rush.

I had longer term stocks in some medicinal cannabis companies that I had to dump out today because the top post on WSB was advising people to do this, driving the price down. Sure I'd make a profit from the stop loss but for someone who isn't glued to the screen all day the price shooting up then down is far too much volatility to keep on top of.

I got on the GME train, of course I did. It was 140% shorted for **** sake. But everything is now to the moon then days later dump it. Means I have another metric to keep on top of while trying to actually learn to trade. I intend on doing this long beyond it being a cool thing on Reddit and right now suits me for applying time to learn.

EDIT: Just to add, I don't begrudge people from making money on the market. Not at all, I'm just frustrated that when I have the time to learn this stuff, it coincides witha trend off the back of the GME boom. I also wonder how many of the millions of new users are Wall Street folks using this as a tool to push their agenda, knowing full well that the SEC will put pressure on Reddit to either reign in or completely removing trading discussions altogether. It's a win-win for Wall Street. Make the money they lost on GME back with pump and dumps in the guise of some WSB user doing "great DD" and they also remove a platform for the retail traders that have been making inroads since the start of the pandemic.

Are you buying something to hold for day, months, years or hours? if its months don't look at reddit, its just noise when you zoom out.

If I am going into AMC,SNDL which is purely speculative, hype etc I am only staying there for couple hours, days max.. get profit and get out. Then Ill keep an eye on reddit, twitter sentiment and go with the wave.

Thanks for this. I have just started out with small sums. Bought organigram when I saw your post @ 4.45, sold after one day @ 5.62. Right now it's down to 3.69

Sorry, I should have mentioned I was quoting the Canadian Dollar amount at the time. But ya the price % changes are still the same.

I reckon the whole sector will be down more in the next few days.

Interesting the small bio canna pharma stocks are a bit slower to drop. I mentioned earlier, they're the ones to take a punt on the next time the big boys go up. Once everyone and their granny hear about cannabis stocks at the dinner table, by the time they try and get in on the headliners it's too late, so a couple of days later you'll see these minnows take off as people get desperate for any foot in the door.

Anyone else holding any?

I was looking at Warren Buffets portfolio last night. Here it is;

https://dataroma.com/m/holdings.php?m=BRK

https://dataroma.com/m/hist/hist.php?f=BRK&s=AAPL

I was wondering what price he bought the Apple stock. Most bought 2017 to 2018. Prices then were around $30 to 40, allowing for share splits. Today its 135. That gives you an idea how much the market has moved in 2 years for top stocks.
You'd have to wonder if a correction is coming.

CCIV - Lucid seems to be almost there. Huge jump after hours

What's the easiest way to invest in KR1? Looked at them last night and they seem impressive and set for strong growth going forward. I've mailed Degiro asking can they be added to their platform but no response on it

Will you keep us posted on this. I want to get in on this share and would like to do so on Degiro.

Thargor · 11-02-2021 11:57pm

Wow he owns a lot of AAPL.

A correction HAS to be coming in some sectors.

I also emailed Degiro today about this. They say they're swamped so not expecting a quick response. Might call them tomorrow if it hasn't been added.

All fund managers have to file a 13F with the SEC every quarter. This lists their portfolio composition.

PLTR dropping nicely

HYLN announced a new EV battery ðŸ”‹, up nearly 20% could go higher once Reddit band jumps into itðŸ˜€

I bought some HYLN pre merger back in June, but had a much bigger position in NIO, I remember being very jealous that HYLN had pumped up to 55 while NIO still back in the 20s, that 55 didn't last long though, I eventually flogged on my few HYLN for like a 5dollar gain at 25 good while back.

I don’t understand the short term-ism on here it’s a mugs game companies only report every three months at most. The only thing you get from day trading is neck strain from checking your portfolio 10 times a day. Before wall st crash in1929 Joe Kennedy sold up when he started get stock tips from newspaper sellers.

Good earnings report from Disney today

DulchieLaois · 12-02-2021 9:25am

Any thoughts on cannabis companies today after the sell off yesterday ?, perhaps stay off for a few days and come back next week to it ?

He was delighted to get tips from newspaper sellers, it was the shoeshine boys where he drew the line.

That traditional concept has been gone for generations at this stage. Any asset (a company included) is worth what someone is willing to pay for it, always has.

If there's more money, then people will pay more to get that. In the past year, think of all the money that's been saved, a lot of that has ended up in stocks.

Do you expect that once lockdown ends, everyone sells their shares to go to Lanzarote?

It will, however, eventually be right. Whether it's in the same category as a stopped clock, time (see what I did there) will tell.

For anyone that holds Palantir 3 days after their earnings, the early investors/employees are allowed to sell all of their shares and not only 20% like now so people could easily be shat on. I am going to sell today then buy back when the dust has settled.

Feb 16th Earnings
Feb 19th Not good to hold

Received a response from degiro this morning:

Dear Sir/Madam,

Thank you for your email.

Please note we have temporarily stopped new product insertions for the time being.

The reason for this is because adding new products can be labor-intensive on our side and with the high volume of activity recently, we need to focus our efforts on high priority tasks.

We will continue to allow product requests in the future, but we do not yet have an estimated timeframe as of yet.

Apologies for any inconvenience caused.

Kind regards,

Pretty poor that a trading platform can't add stocks because they're overwhelmed.

Talk of CTRM and SNDL in here....I thought this WASN'T about "reddit" stocks??...it's a farce at this stage that there's still 2 threads, last time I'll post in here..

That's pretty impressive if it goes into production with these kinds of figures.

there's few who made similar claims, QS one of them. but that's all in distance...for the moment we just need to ride Euphoria.

I very nearly bought me for around 15 a few days ago for HYLN, I thought it was a great price! Ah well...

agree got into them last week, thinking that's the lowest they have gone since merger and since the market is all EV crazy, they have a good chance of upside.

We all have those moments. the moment we buy them they stop moving

thanks for the dates, was thinking $25-26 would be a good entry point for them based on recent prices.

Quite stupid that it's a labor intensive action also. Should all be automated.

Yeah, but most waiting for the pullback will have lost more money waiting than they would if they just invested

I asked them about adding SMT and got the same stock reply, thats a pity.
