    First of all is it actually under valued or just his opinion? Remember he has something to sell. Next keep in mind that on average these vehicles have a return of about -15% and a median of about -35%, that means they need to be highly under valued if the investor is to manage the risk and get an appropriate return.

    Be very careful with these type of vehicles.

    Hi - I’m completely new to the SPAC concept (but I like it), I’m surprised at that indicative return figure? Is there any general reason for this? Is it because they’ve a blank cheque they end up over paying for the acquisition etc.

    I see the share price is up at 25.

    What entry price are people looking at for psth?

    How high's the risks? What are the risks?
    Unlikely the price would ever go below $20 - I've only seen that in 1 of about 50 SPAC's I've been following this year.

    Ackman is the sort of personality that won't want his SPAC to be seen as underwhelming. I'd say there's a very good chance it won't be Stripe, but I'd be confident he'll find a suitable target regardless

    Why do you insist on making such flippant remarks about traders? Yes it's clear you understand the benefits of investing LT. There are also times when ST trading outweighs them and we're currently in one of those times. The market is gifting us fast massive returns so even the most ardent long would be foolish not to take them.

    I know some swing traders and they spend hours after work researching stocks and looking for trends to trade. They understand markets and know when to trade actively. This time next year they may not trade at all. These guys are smart.

    It's no coincidence that this board has seen a big uptick in activity the last few months. Just like back in the 90's the hype will eventually die down and the traders will disappear. Until then it looks like your words are falling on deaf ears.

    PSH is Pershing Square Holdings - Ackmans main fund vehicle
    PSTH is the SPAC blank cheque - one Im loading up on
    PSTH-WT are warrants for the spac (there may be some trading restrictions on when you can sell these post a merger, open to correction)

    Ackmans has had success with SPACs in the past his Justice Holding did a similar deal in 2012 with Burger King to form QSR and thats done consistently well for PSH since.

    And yes Ackmans PSH is undervalued by any metric you want to take.
    Heres just one ... FTSE 100 companies are trading at 1.5 times book value on average , whilst PSH is trading at a 20-30% discount. Thats undervalued!
    but
    Plenty companies are undervalued , doesnt mean they get the love, plenty companies are overvalued making millions billions for investors. The games rigged you just need to figure out if its worth holding and them eventually getting a justifiable re-rate on the sp.

    Chinese EV companies will be releasing November delivery numbers this week, expecting some good figures for NIO, LI and XPENG in that order .. if one delivers then the others will follow, if all 3 beat expectatiosn we have another major legup

    And just like that bitcoin back above 18k .

    risk off is the motto for the end of 2020.

    Whats the significance of FTSE100 ? PSTH is listed on NYSE.

    finally me and jimbo agree on something...:D

    I knew he wasnt a trader or investor and couldnt make money in the markets,
    that explains why he never picks a stock in any of his posts.. at least now he admits it, so some progress.

    okay everyone back to the markets and investing, jim will be back shortly with a nothing comment no doubt but at least now we know how he has performed in the GREATEST BULL RUN IN HISTORY , he didnt cos he admits he could not make money out of trading...

    Arcadia group about to collapse, the online retailers are seeing a boost because of this. Probably have plenty of room left to run with them yet.
    Im already in ASOS, its up 3% today to 46.39, Bohoo up 6%, JD Sports up 7%.
    Coupled with Christmas coming up, shops closed, even more people moving to online clothes shopping, the quarterly numbers for these could see a huge boost for these in the new year


  • Registered Users Posts: 194 ✭✭outonawing


    Any more experienced investors looked at Franklin Wireless Corp FKWL?

    Their recent quarter results are impressive, company looks undervalued to my novice eye.

    Compass pathways has popped up on my radar again who are developing psilocybin therapy to treat depression. I think it was mentioned here before.

    Their IPO was in Sept and the price seems to have settled around the mid 30 range, but of course still early days.

    Going to keep an eye on it for now but this could potentially be the stock that you lose your money on or get a 10x return.

    Up 19% since posted and another 12% pre-market today :)

    ASAN is still undervalued compared to its competitors. It will surpass 35 in a few weeks and will smash the next earnings. Similar to PLTR they direct listed in October and did not not perform well.

    Yes I am aware, Asana is a basic project management platform. Companies can literally develop an in house projects management system in weeks...

    The founders of Asana were both interviewed on The Social Dilemma documentary film on Netflix and I quite like and share their version for future working.

    Personally will probably start a small long position on it this today and see how it goes.

    Feck. Bought this before earnings (on admittedly the hype of zoom, tesla etc) it crashed, I was bag holding and sold out at small loss.

    Some one mentioned the quote the stock market is a way for the impatient to give their money to the patient. This is a perfect example.

    Congrats to all those holding. Lesson learned for me.

    Another bloody share offering from NNDM this morning (which I was expecting but not so soon), anyways I managed to grab more shares on the Frankfurt exchange (ticker 2N5B) for 5.80$, tiny volume and crap spread as a result, but anyways they are back up to 6.55 now and in the green for the day already. Mad stuff that it jumped back up so fast, but anyways the Frankfurt exchange is proving very useful to me to buying up stuff on news before the usa premarket even opens.

    Bought into Palantir last week mid 20's... pure FOMO. Typical.... its falling on its ass now, after two/three savage weeks of basically upwards only movement.

    I'm not too worried as its a long term play, and if it tanks back into the teens, I'll double down

    I enjoy this thread and value the contributor opinions. I have also done my own research and hold a trading account outside of my pension.
    Right now I have a lump sum of $13,000 to invest in a self traded pension. I have just set up a self trading pension account with Conexim.

    Key Considerations.
    - This is a pension fund so long term buy and hold only. Stability is key. I know this should be Coke Cola, Berkshire etc. but I am happy to be a 8-9 out of 10 risk profile.
    - I think USA stocks are running hot at the moment so I'm happy to hold emerging market stocks.
    - I have a 20+ year time frame to retirement :mad: (generalisation).
    - I only want about 6 picks. I hope to add yearly. $13,000 limit.

    What would you spend $13,000 on. Wildcards accepted.

    Microsoft MSFT $215.00 10 $2,150.00
    MercadoLibre MELI $1,500.00 2 $3,000.00
    PayPal PYPL $210.00 0 $0.00
    Pinducocuo PDD $145.00 0 $0.00
    Alibaba BABA $280.00 6 $1,680.00
    JD JD $90.00 12 $1,080.00
    Google GOOG $1,800.00 0 $0.00
    Shopify SHOP $1,050.00 2 $2,100.00
    Bristol-Myers S BMY $64.00 20 $1,280.00
    SAP SE $120.00 $1,200.00
    Total TOT $55.00 $0.00
    Sea SE $183.00 0 $0.00
    TSM TSM $98.00 15 $1,470.00
    AMD AMD $88.00 0 $0.00
    Take2 TTWO $178.00 0 $0.00
    CrowdStrike CRWD $150.00 0 $0.00
    Veeva VEEV $275.00 0 $0.00
    Roku ROKU 285 $0.00
    $13,960.00

    If nothing else I'm happy to share my thoughts on stocks I like and get an interesting debate going. I do some of my own research (not always technical) and I'm a member of a few subscription services. I like other options like PSTH/Trade Desk/Stone etc. etc. but the bouncy ones I'll try trade on my personal account.

    This week, if it's confirmed, you'll see the Slack share price more or less pegged to the Salesforce share price. Both would go up and down in unison for the next few months.

    Then in a few months, when the transaction completes, there'll be some day you log into your brokerage account, and your Slack shares are gone, and Salesforce shares are there instead.

    I'm hearing this will be a stock+cash deal too, so the cash bit will be paid out as a dividend on that day

    I wonder is it worth entering NKLA in this dip. I have an order sitting at 15 euro a share. Probably won't drop enough but would be great if it did I think.

    Have a look at this video especially clips from Mad Money and you will see a CEO who looks like the the captain of a sinking ship. Cramer knows it too and is easy on him but NKLA as a business is fcuked. There are no trucks, no badgers, no future and there might be a speculative bounce here and there but in 6 months it mightn't exist.

    Watch at 7.30 when he gets asked about the badger....there's more chance of me developing the badger truck than Nikola.

    There are a lot of Wall St raids in play the last couple of days, there always are.
    This mornings open and you could see so many stocks dropped on no news. It was all a play to shake some hands out .
    Typical Monday action, its only the first day of the week.
    If you have faith in your companies then hold .

    NVAX just hit 140, Id scalped some gains on it, but still had a significant holding that I bought sub 50 , and rode all the way to 189, and watched it fall back to sub 70, but I believed in it and held and continue to do so. Sometimes the faith pays off.

    Chinese EV numbers for November are out this week, I expect them to be very good , I think todays action in the big boys trying to get their hands on some cheap EV shares, NIO, LI, XPEV.

    And BTC continues to deliver, MARA and RIOT recover 30% , Id sold out some late last week but thats okay I moved it to NNOX which is up 13% , lets see how it does when they run the live demo and the investor chat on Tuesday.

    If you had a stock and saw it drop early today but it miracolously recoverd later, study the day chart, this is how they grab shares that you have , they run it low and then scare you off.

    I decided to add some gaming stocks into my portfolio today

    TTWO:
    Not a lot of short-term catalysts, but great long-term pick since its valuation multiple is low relative to the recent past.
    It is Overvalued.
    I have done my homework on this one and the next GTA is in development without a doubt.
    As soon as GTA 5 was announced the stock shot up and never really stopped rising other than a few healthy pullbacks with the broader market. The run up it had from the time it was announced to the time it was released was significant.
     
    GTA 5 was the most successful video game of all time in terms of revenue. The video game world is going to go nuts when it’s announced and the stock should reflect the excitement.
    The only problem is it could be a couple more years before we even get an announcement.
    They are benefiting from the stay-at-home culture and video games are probably going to keep increasing in popularity for the rest of our lives.
     
    ATVI:
    Best portfolio at the right time. Most of the top games on Twitch are ATVI.
    Overvalued

    Current valuation: $79.57
    Valuation of entry parameters:
    Analyst ratings: Buy
    Analysts target price: 90-95

    Tenacent:
    I don’t know much about this one. Saw it on a forum recently.
    Article from Motley is an interesting read though. Might put it on my watchlist and pick it up in a few weeks.

    They have Epic/fortnite, Activision, Roblox on their books.

    We all have limited time, so this weekends research was not spent (yet) on upcoming earnings but in reading PSH Pershing Square Holdings (Bill Ackmans fund) June semi-annual report, all 47 pages, its a cliffhanger, I cant wait for the movie.

    So Id begun building a position in the PSTH SPAC (thanks to ambergold who alerted me to it) and based on the report Im increasing that significantly in coming weeks. Its the largest blank cheque spac in operation 4 billion in investor funds , 12 billion was bid, and they shut it down after 2 days it was so oversubscribed. PSH have option to add 1-3 billion making it 5-7 billion in total.
    Lots of rumours and public comment from Ackman himself saying he is having discussions with alot of well known private entities, airbnb, bloomberg and stripe. I think Stripe is the one he wants, PSH need to add a fintech to its portfolio, they are overweighted to restaurant and hospitality. And when you consider PSH made 40% gains even with major holdings in those sectors it shows how well managed it is as they hedged early for a shutdown and won big. Also PSH is in 101-105th position for FTSE100 rating, Ackman wants addition to FTSE100 and becoming an index funds target, he doesnt understand why PSH is undervalued and isnt already in, but Im betting he is betting on the PSTH deal when its announced getting them over the line.Also Ackman has reduced the normal SPAC founders shares and commissions, so its all benefiting the spac investor. Once the merger is announced I expect PSTH to increase considerably.

    So its all about PATIENCE, we are entering a time of life and the seasons where foraging for food, stockpiling and hibernation will all pay dividends in the new year. Same applies to stocks and thats why Im gathering up all the PSTH nuts I can buy and expecting to feast on them come early spring at the latest.

    BlackFriday e-commerce up 22% on last year.. should be a few stocks out there that will report amazing numbers for Q4 based on this, just need to find the ones that dont have all of this priced in yet or have had a small dip. So again patience and ability to wait for the pop will pay off in 2021.

    this is all just opinion good luck all.

    I think Stripe are too big for this personally. The volume is massive on this one but with spacs the market acts like a 5yo when the company they all want isn't the merger company. Ackman will get something big though! Expect a pullback if it is not stripe or a fancible company like robinhood your fav app ;)
    They recover quite quick though.

    I think they have higher fees compared to say Coinbase... but I may be wrong on that.
    I big upped MARA and RIOT pre this BTC spike, still kicking myself I sold a chunk at what I thouhgt were highs. Cest la vie.
    HUT8 is my newest entry for this, smaller position , but it claims to have kept alot of the Bitcointhey mined, albeit they are using older slower miners, as BTC goes up, if it goes up then HUT8 will gain as will BITFARM one of the largest miners

    v.g.
    if Ackman merges with Robinhood, Im out, Ive got some standards I cant be hanging with those millenials... :D

    Ackman has been very vocal saying they want to be a minor partner up to a 15% stake, thats so he wont scare off partners. So yes Stripe are big but so big they may be happy with Ackman being a small partenr. Plus Ackman has been touting the names of his major backers in PSTH, these are not public knowledge yet but Ackmans reasoning is that these are long term stable investors who wil lgive a company time to evolve whihc makes this chunk of money appealing to a new IPO prospect.
    Theres alot of FOMO on it now, maybe everyone is planning to exit right after the announcement.

    Moderna up 51% since I bought them. I was actually going to go with Pfizer but I heard something about the owner selling their shares after they announced their vaccine which seemed a bit odd. I just wish I got more of Moderna. Although I said the same thing about Square.

    I have done my homework on this one and the next GTA is in development without a doubt.
    As soon as GTA 5 was announced the stock shot up and never really stopped rising other than a few healthy pullbacks with the broader market. The run up it had from the time it was announced to the time it was released was significant.
     
    GTA 5 was the most successful video game of all time in terms of revenue. The video game world is going to go nuts when it’s announced and the stock should reflect the excitement.
    The only problem is it could be a couple more years before we even get an announcement.
    They are benefiting from the stay-at-home culture and video games are probably going to keep increasing in popularity for the rest of our lives.
     
    ATVI:
    Best portfolio at the right time. Most of the top games on Twitch are ATVI.
    Overvalued

    Current valuation: $79.57
    Valuation of entry parameters:
    Analyst ratings: Buy
    Analysts target price: 90-95

    Tenacent:
    I don’t know much about this one. Saw it on a forum recently.
    Article from Motley is an interesting read though. Might put it on my watchlist and pick it up in a few weeks.

    Keep an eye on CD Projekt Red. They are a Polish game developer that developed "The Witcher" games and the upcoming "Cyberpunk 2077". Their stock is available on the Warsaw Stock Exchange under the ticker CDR. Because they are listed on the Warsaw Exchange this surprisingly put a lot of investors off.

    I imagine for liquidity reasons.

    Moderna up 51% since I bought them. I was actually going to go with Pfizer but I heard something about the owner selling their shares after they announced their vaccine which seemed a bit odd. I just wish I got more of Moderna. Although I said the same thing about Square.
    Moderna did the same . Idiot sold at $80 :D

    Just looked up my closed transactions for Moderna, $78 or so, only 40 of them thou. Spooked at the time by all the insider sales.

    Cashed out of Tesla at 580 booking a 30% gain. Spooked by the dip yesterday but it's back up a wee bit now. Hope it wasn't a bear trap

    All my gains getting hammered by the weakening dollar. Time to look closer to home I think...

    Was reading an article about the UK economy. My biggest gainer so far in my very short history of buying stocks has been Boohoo has been the best.

    Curious if there are any UK / Europe suggestions myself.

    Markets are spooked because the dumb bint whos running the NASDAQ just announced today that going forward all boards of directors have to have one woman and one person from a minority as a member.
    The last bastion falls, the walls have been breached.
    The dumbest of dumb rules that Ive ever heard. MBAs and 30 years of business experience will count for nothing, your seat has been given to the one legged cis gender native of Vanuatu.

    Im just waiting for the day they demand diversity in nature.
    All lion prides must contain one antelope. All killer whale pods must have one dolphin member. Every kettle of vultures must make room for one dove .

    Come to think of it, do we have any women posting here, cmon show yourself and be dammed ... else close this thread its not fit for purpose where is the diversity.. oh yeah its in our portfolios .:p:p:p:p:p:p:p:p:p:p:p:p:p:p:p

    I see that, but the Nasdaq is up currently. I've no problem with a woman (or more) being mandatory. If there are all male boards out there they surely have issues.

    But, someone just because they are from a minority background is bonkers.
