Am I right in saying earnings the 8th, then share dilution the 12th?

JaimeLannister · 05-02-2018 4:35pm

Financials around 28th Feb i would say. Previous quarterlies were released on 29th Nov & 28th Aug from what i can see.

Previous filings & news releases are all here if you want to have a look

Haven't bought any of these (yet) but keeping an interested eye on how it goes!

I think it's gearing up for what happened in November https://equity.guru/2017/11/05/bitcoin-hits-new-time-high-yesterday-fork-fork-off-2/
Short interest was way up again last week, http://shortdata.ca/largest-short-positions/ Just click venture.
There's a squeeze on the way I'd bet.

It's good to see projections based on lower than todays crypto prices. Think I'd be crying if I had money in crypto, hopefully we backed the right horse to get through the storm.

Indeed it is, it's like we have gone back in time.

Looks like something might be happening, big volume and up over 5% in the first few minutes. Pretty good, probably going into another ETF tomorrow which should help.
Little downward pressure on opening but it ripped through it.

Up 8%, was hoping to buy more today but not likely now.

Do you know when an ETF starts to accumulate shares, I know that the new HBLK ETF launching today will be 5% Hive, i'm just wondeing will they need to start buying and that coupled with the rise in the price of ether were back to our Bull case could we see that short sqeeze happen today.

I'm thinking something might happen like the last time, the short squeeze causes a problem with liquidity, Hive is forced again to release the shares due on the 12th early to keep things under control. It got halted the last time, if it happens I want to be on the right side of it.

q85dw7osi4lebg · 07-02-2018 4:58pm

Guess the best thing to do is have funds in place and buy orders lined up. I’m no expert on the stock at all but the same rules apply to it as any other stock, so a short squeeze is possible and the TSX could well indeed take it into it’s own hands and force a sale (I think). I’m happy to keep growing my position for now regardless of any potential short term drops, but will set a few orders for lower points, just in case.

TheSheriff · 08-02-2018 5:59pm

HIVE is looking like an absolute bargain today at ~1.25.

Got in yesterday at ~1.40, but now considering picking up some more.

drunkmonkey · 08-02-2018 6:04pm

Thinking of getting more but i'm already well in, going to wait and see what's happens after the 12th. Could have lower to go, think it's going to take big earnings to lift it properly.

Shauny2010 · 08-02-2018 9:22pm

If HIVE is so good why is the short positions increasing?

There's nothing happening, no news, no earnings, when the shorts have to start covering their position after a catalyst for example when earnings are reported this month and turn out to be very positive as hoped it'll rocket the price up.
A lot of shares become free trading on the 12th the share price may hold but it could go lower. It dropped 33% in November when it happened. https://smallcappower.com/news/market-news/hive-blockchain-stock-news/

Once that's out of the way you should see the shorts decrease. I'm not sure too many will short this on the run into earnings once the price settles after the shares are released.

This is one of the heaviest shorted stocks on the tsvx but it's also the fastest growing in its history.

It joined another ETF yesterday, so it's now in all 4 blockchain etf's, somebody is seeing potential here somewhere.

You could nearly day trade HIVE at this rate.

It's a nice day trade, sorry my average is way over the current price or I would be. You've 10%+ a day there every day.

I don't know what to do i'm still concerned about the 12th before loading a few more, i'll put in a few stinky bids on monday and see can I get filled.

Have more orders lined up today to get the average down, half my holding was bought in at around $3.00.

Hopefully fill those orders today around the opening price. Sold some VUSA to fund it

drunkmonkey · 09-02-2018 12:32pm

I'm going lower than that when those shares come out...

Actually no there not going to be sold for under $2, yesterdays close is a good entry. I'll be keeping an eye on the pre market today.

Have you a degiro account, probably a good place to start if you want to try buying your own shares. Start small until your very comfortable.
You need to ask yourself how much you'd like the 10k to earn in how long a time frame. How quick your need the money back and how much your prepared to loose. How active your going to be with your investment, active or lazy.
We all have different opinions on what you should buy so safest not listen to any of us and do your own homework but don't be afraid to ask for an opinion.

butrasgali · 10-02-2018 10:02pm

I have a davy account,some provident resources and c and c shares are in there a long time ..basically wasting away ..could do with a more active type share..is a degiro account better?

10-02-2018 10:07pm

Hi folks, I have a really newbie share question, I was looking to buy very small amount of Hive with Degiro, say 20 shares, I get a message saying this amount is not a percentage of lot (100) or something like that.
Is this saying to me that I have to buy in lots of 100 ?
Sorry for the complete novice question.

butrasgali · 10-02-2018 10:11pm

What's your opinion on dalata or applegreen..in Ireland and I'm also interested in valeant (vrx)in America..

Hive I think your need to see what happen when the shares come out of lockup Monday, that's a very small amount about €25 worth.
I think you can get that error if your entering the buy price wrong, make sure your using a limit order when buying. Let's say the price is 0.905 and your entering .905 it'll give that error, I'm nearly sure there's no minimum order.
Thats a very risky stock, I know some of us are in it but go into it with your eyes open. Don't buy it on Monday. Might be a good day trade Monday through.
If your buying in CAD is €2 + .01 a share and FX charge. Borse is €7 something.

Don't know anything about dalata or applegreen always found Irish stocks very quite, the bots don't like Valeant even though there guide is way over the current share price https://online.capitalcube.com/#!/stock/us/nyse/vrx earnings report on the 28th this month could be one to watch alright, lot of rubbish here but worth watching the bullboards for news http://www.stockhouse.com/companies/bullboard/t.vrx/valeant-pharmaceuticals-intl-inc/1
Canadian, cough, ahem, "pharmaceutical" stocks are on fire the last while A few of us here have made great gains. Can't give any recommendations as haven't been following them lately.

q85dw7osi4lebg · 11-02-2018 12:09am

I too have noticed I can only buy shares in multiples of 100 for HIVE. Have a few thousand now which is a lot more than I planned.... good feeling in my gut.

drunkmonkey · 11-02-2018 12:28am

I've way to many as well, bought my first bunch on the borse and that's an uneven number but I've an even number on the tsv so maybe borse let's your buy any amount. Not sure.
I'll be buying more this week that's all I know. I really hope we've got this right. Everything is pointing towards this being a killer stock this year.

q85dw7osi4lebg · 11-02-2018 12:42am

Same, another deposit Monday morning ahead of opening then wait to see it any opportunities arise. An exciting week ahead I reckon. Thinking of a 12 month hold anyway so not afraid of any dips in relation to the potential sell off. Heres hoping.

drunkmonkey · 11-02-2018 12:59am

Yea I'm thinking the same, wasn't my original intention but everything staying on track wouldn't dream of selling, still it's a long way to Christmas wouldn't mind dipping in and out and playing the price swings. Might run away on me though doing that.

Can't remember if this link was posted, apologies if so. Interesting reading considering the then price.

drunkmonkey · 12-02-2018 9:21am

I listened to an the latest interview with Frank Homes and he's figures tie in with the base model in that example. That was Friday and what there currently mining.
If you were to put any heed in the billboard I think a few of them reckon the shorts are the same guys with the $1.50 shares coming out of lock up today so they can now cover their short positions which could cause a spike today when they start doing that. An expected drop at opening though, that's all highly speculative.
My buy orders will be at $1.50 or .99c on deborse. Not expecting to get filled but will review after first 10 minutes trading.

Up 10% this morning in Frankfurt, have my order in a 98cent, Not a hope!:D

Last € 1.32
Day diff. € 0.12 / (10.00%)

TheSheriff · 12-02-2018 11:52am

Day off from work today so I woke up late,

I was expecting to see my HIVE investment reduced by about 30% today, but instead find its up !

Still early in the day/week!

drunkmonkey · 12-02-2018 12:16pm

All depends on what happens today i'd say, these are the last cheap shares at 1.50 the next bunch are at 2.80 in march. Think were going down a bit at open then onwards and upwards. It'll be interesting to see the volume, the other day when it was starting to look like we were out of the woods about a million shares moved in the first 20 minutes. If we have a big volume day today were going up.

Captainsatnav · 12-02-2018 4:12pm

Think I'll take a punt on Dalata and Providence Resources.

Hi,

No doubt they have proven to be a good business, demand for hotel rooms in Ireland is high, so room rates are good and hopefully going to stay that way for a couple of years to come but one thing - I think I recall reading / hearing that they intended to push harder into the UK market. I can't recall the details, but might be worth checking out, then make your decision based on what you think the future holds for the UK, not just Ireland.

It's very low we had this done in half an hour the other day before it dried up, that's the day I thought we'd see the squeeze.
Hopefully they'll have some weetabix for lunch.

drunkmonkey · 12-02-2018 6:25pm

Saying that we've done 400k since I posted above and we're up 8% doesn't look like my stinky bids will get filled. Not what I was expecting today.

I agree. Think I might have read the same report! TBH a few years ago I wanted to throw a few euro behind them just after they went public (at about€270 or something) but in my wisdom I bought €1000 worth of PTSB shares instead.:o

q85dw7osi4lebg · 13-02-2018 8:56pm

Hive trading at $1.88 on marketwatch but just had two orders filled at $1.86 no hesitation.

Done increasing position for now (unless it gets down to $1.70 or less).

drunkmonkey · 13-02-2018 9:18pm

I'm still waiting for an entry during the week, looks like we're stuck in this range until earnings at the earliest. Won't be loading more after my next buy as I'll have my original target amount of shares.

Dalata trades off a PE of about 22 which is pretty high. What this means is very good future earnings growth is already factored into the current share price soo although I like the Dalata story, I would wait and see if the price goes down a bit more during the current turmoil and try and buy on a dip.

Providence is an interesting punt. Maybe not for widows & orphans though :=]

Can I ask who you compared the Price/Earnings ratio with? Don't think there's another hotel group on the ISE. I did look at one or 2 in London but their P/E was negative.
