    High volume, low margin, largely sustainable sales & continued steady expansion. Low risk imo. 5/10% growth in share price this year quite achievable & likely.

    I have been watching kerry group over the last 12 months they seem to rise by 15.% and than fall back by 10% they have done that a number of times over that period its like shooting fish in a barrel you just need to know when to sell

    Is anyone interested in Tesla anymore?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,586 ✭✭✭4068ac1elhodqr


    Pictet Robotics, LUX

    Perhaps now's a good time to get on early, before the rise of the machines.
    Expectations are for the droidbots to take around 30% of the workforce 2030.
    3DP, IoT, VR, AR and Drones have only barely scratched the surface so far.
    Steady 10% sector growth yearly for the next 10yrs anyway.

    Is it time to sell out of Nextflix? A lot of stocks have bounced back after a shaky start to 2016, no such luck with Netflix!

    I just started with this whole shares business, and thinking about Space X and model 3 and hyperloop etc (Paypal, eBay... after all that man is exceptional), I bought 5 Tesla shares at approximately $200 each.

    Now sitting here with degiro page, watching my money slowly evaporating away. Great start to my adventure into investing in shares. :o

    Positron, my advice would be to stay positive. The global market in general is taking a battering with very few being spared, and it's not easing up at all. There is zero point in selling now if you're sitting on scary loss (tesla down 22% YTD). Tesla aren't going anywhere and they will bounce back, albeit it could take quite a while as I can't see the light at the end of the tunnel for this bear market this year (or possibly next). Take comfort in the fact that other big players like Amazon and Apple are down at 11% and 14% YTD.

    You simply got in at a bad time and I don't think many people predicted 2016 would open to such a horrible start. Horde your cash savings for now and when it looks like things are turning around start buying again and diversify your portfolio more. Knowing when the turn is happening & keeping patience is the tricky part - it's easy for emotions to take over and go mad buying for fear of missing out if you see a few consecutive days of good returns in the market.... and then wallop back down again.

    Another 10yr+ lookout could be 'Reaction Engines Ltd' (if it ever goes public).
    UKGovernment & BAE@20% backed, and hoping to have the 1st domestic 'composite' plane engines (Skylon/SABRE),
    for the 4hr flights out to Aus, and interplanetary jaunts a couple of decades later with OTV/TROY.

    Another tech 'Superconductive levitation' might replace the current Maglev stocks (as a cheaper low power alternative). Folks like 'Crealev' are prototyping, again a private company but may 'float' one day.

    Luckily for me I am only playing with amounts I can afford to lose. Phew. I will stay put with them - I trust until their Giga factory and Model 3 comes out, which I think is their next major milestones, and if things are still bad by then.. well there wouldn't be much point selling then anyway.

    Various different behavioural economics people have said that you shouldn’t even monitor your portfolio on anything near a daily basis – bad for the brain. Provided of course you’re a long horizon investor

    I think they will bounce back strongly over the coming years as the number of subscribers grows (I'm one of them). I bought a few shares at $94.

    You need to have a time horizon of at least 5 years. The strong dollar and low oil price is hurting Tesla at the moment so I can see the shares falling further, especially if the whole market keeps heading south. The Model 3 presentation in March should be interesting. TSLA is on my watch list.

    I would also recommend diversifying with some dividend shares. If the price falls at least you get something while you wait for the share price to hopefully recover. Several REITs pay decent dividends.

    Still with Pilbara mineral PLS here, finished at AUD 0.36 today. It has risen 33% in 3 weeks. Big Lithium finds in WA, this share will break AUD 0.50 before the end of February

    Also in on this for the past few weeks, great returns so far!

    Dipping my toe into the stock market for the first time the last couple of weeks and got in on pilbarra and chaarat gold after doing some research on both.

    Thanks to those who tipped both and also for the recommendation of degiro.

    A cautious start for small money but a positive one nonetheless. I intend to increase my holding in Pilbarra on Monday.

    Are you guys in on the Frankfurt exchange or asx? I went with Frankfurt.

    I also bought a little of first majestic silver which so far has a positive performance for me too.

    Learning as I go.

    Also new to this like I mentioned earlier, and only really experimenting tbh, and last week when I was reading about VR headsets and wondering if I should upgrade from my current PS3 to a PS4, it just occurred to me that Sony is selling a lot of PS4, now that everyone has accepted XBOX as way inferior, and that the VR headset might push a lot of people like me to upgrade. So off I went and bought just 10 shares at 21 usd or so, and they are 16% up today, almost making up for what I lost in Tesla.

    Of course, I am playing with very little money here, so it doesn't mean anything to savvy boards investors, but bit of fortune for me. I am sure it might all go down again now that I said it.. touchwood! :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,586 ✭✭✭4068ac1elhodqr


    VR & AR is going to be very very huge but not today, nor tomorrow, perhaps 5-10yrs+ before every house has the googles and gloves that allows the plausible localised reality of any other reality or task. Perhaps also where Apple is going to put much of it's spare $200bn cash pile, along with general robotic automation & our next overlord: 'AI'.

    I think Oculus rife is going to be the big thing for Christmas 2016. Mark Zuckerberg will be proven to have made a good investment for Facebook.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,029 ✭✭✭Sabre Man


    As a gamer I am skeptical towards AR and VR. It'll be too expensive (£500) for the foreseeable future and there will most likely be little content available, like 3D TV.

    i bought on the ASX, cost a fair bit as i am trading with Goodbody but i am making a good bit back. I am in Australia at the moment and the vibes are good on this one, wouldn't be surprised if it hits a dollar by the end of the year. Big move towards batteries.

    Also look at LIT.ASX

    My next ones, won't put in huge money are Elementos Limited (ELT) and Energia Minerals (EMX). High risk but high returns if they pay off


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,470 ✭✭✭positron


    I was listening to Tesla talk from back in Sep 2015, and they clearly said they would NOT want to mine lithium on the other side of the world and then have to ship it to Nevada. They said they are sourcing everything they can locally (Pure Energy Minerals, some firms in Canada & Mexico etc).

    But, I guess that's irrelevant for PLS if general demand for Lithium is going to go up nonetheless. Curious though the Global X LIT ETF is 60% down over 5 years. I wonder if that's a good buy?

    I want to buy 5k worth of BOI stock. I have never invested or traded or anything like that and don't even know if i am on the right thread to be asking this but anyway someone can either help me out and answer or direct me to somebody who can. My question is this where exactly do i go or who do I call if i want to buy a load of BOI shares without having to pay mental fees and getting ripped off.

    Thanks for your help,
    Bobby

    The only thing I would associate with MK is the abundance of fake/replica/counterfeit goods with their branding in the global marketplace.

    Whether it's watches or handbags on the popular 'used goods websites' they're pretty much everywhere.

    Maybe just a little more to go from $50, considering $98 price of Feb 14.

    At a low entry price, with a strong balance sheet , growth in like for like store sales and Asian market growing strongly (although small) - I am not overly concerned at this point.

    Exit point at 55

    TSLA down 7% again, I want to get back in but happy to wait.

    You should check out DeGiro, they are a Dutch regulated broker and charge fees of €2 + 0.04% per trade. You would essentially pay €4 in total to buy €5,000 worth of BoI stock. Best of luck.
