    ... Just spotted this thread now... Have been investing probably 3 years now, mostly in Visa, Netflix at time and amazon... Last 3 months have changed strategy and now buying stocks that are releasing earnings that day after close of business, that look like they will be ahead of estimates and consistently beats estimates...it has actually been alot more successful than I thought , so Wonder if anyone else follows this kinda strategy?...
    ...Also, the more I look at read about and hear about Disney, the more I'm falling in love!!!...

    This is not investing, it’s speculation and worse than the dogs or the hoses because at least the horses and the dogs don’t give the tips.

    A couple of analysts of questionable experience and no insight make a prediction and you bet on their ability to get it right or wrong, the odds are 50/50 and has nothing to do with the quality of the business and your investing skills.

    be careful betting on earnings results, wouldn't advise unless doing it with options you can get badly burned

    Buying on or near earnings announcements can be a clever move ... but the market insiders are usually well ahead of your regular pleb retail investor. Soo prepare to be out foxed most of the time.

    I day trade and never, ever hold into earnings, no matter who it is or what the talking heads say, it’s a rule I don’t break. Have I missed making money? Yes, but I’d have lost way more over time. You’d be better of at the roulette table.

    Back in mid-november I said that some cannabis stocks were worth looking at for the following few months. Aphria, Cronos and Canopy have returned some decent gains though they have given up quite a bit of these gains over the last few weeks.
    Aurora is now having the problems that were predicted and quite a bit from where it was mid-November.
    The CEO is gone and staff is being cut in an attempt to save cash and turn things around.

    This will drag down the sector today but I still think companies like Aphria and Canopy who have plenty of cash (especially Canopy) have a bright future. Aphria has always been my favoured pick and I'll be keeping a close eye on today's proceedings hoping to pick up a few for around $4.

    Baron oil ...... risen x10 this week after an RNS on Monday. There's been plenty buying and selling but even from current prices one would imagine it's a good buy.

    RNS .. ........ https://www.lse.co.uk/rns/BOIL/information-on-the-chuditch-1-discovery-ucctscves3fh1xr.html

    Just saw that my order at 4.10 was filled earlier which tbh I think is very good value. I've traded Aphria a few times but I think this time it can sit in the bottom drawer as I think it's well undervalued and the SP should begin to reflect it's real worth in the next year or two.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,435 ✭✭✭weemcd


    Just bought a tiny, and I mean minuscule amount of shares in NIO to test out Degiro. I'd had an account for ages with a small amount of cash deposited. But I didn't do the verification steps.

    Yes, everything.... builders, Reits, banks :rolleyes:

    Might be a buying opportunity too though as the market tends to over react. The dust will probably settle in a few days.

    Nio down at 3.75ish...wonder could it be time for a reentry or have we further to fall?

    And I bought at 4.50 last week ugh. Small enough stake at least.

    Anyone else still in with Virgin Galactic? Over 20$ now, probably overvalued but people seem to be still investing in it simply because it's one of the only space stocks out there.

    That’s the point haha, want to get back in before they return to production and price goes back on the up

    On an unrelated note, lag in processing purchase orders pissing me off - put in an order for Nio at market open @3.82, goes through to “pending” immediately and then goes through for 3.92 :(
    It’s not a huge amount but annoying all the same

    If the state builds rakes of cheap houses it will drag down private house prices elsewhere... Builders & banks will make less money.

    Either way ... I pulled the trigger today for what I hope is some bottom feeding on the ISEQ... builders and Banks :pac:

    I was thinking along the lines that the market knows SF is full of hot air and won't build the half of it!

    That's my thinking precisely Bob. The market will probably realise that too eventually and hopefully sp's of Irish property related stocks will recover after the recent sell off.... earning me a nice profit ��

    Cairn homes already up 3% today.

    PAVM up approx 20% today
    been doing well so far in 2020


  • Registered Users Posts: 146 ✭✭letitroll


    If SF wanna build homes, they’ll need building firms to do it......Glenveagh has a specific division ‘Glenveagh Living’ designed to specifically to do this.......I.e. master plan and build homes on spec on public lands for housing authorities, councils or pension funds / asset management companies.

    SF public housing program would be a boom for them - its a much better business and less capital intensive to provide master planning and building services than speculate on land, buy it, go through planning process and then build and sell it yourself.

    Buying GLV as whatever way you slice they will be Ireland’s dominant (3,000 + at full scale) and lowest cost producer of starter homes in the country

    ...How much thought are people giving to the coronavirus when picking their stocks...What is the best way to gauge the impact it could have...I know we can look at revenue, production locations, are there any other factors worth noting?... Also, FEC looks like it going after the big tech companies, wonder what kinda affect it will have on the FAANG stocks...

    I would wait until March and see where things are, also keep an eye on the VIX (volatility index), if it looks like it’s going up then stocks will drop as they’re inversely correlated at the moment

    In these days of Coronavirus hysteria is anybody keeping an eye on drug trials/genome research companies ?

    “During the gold rush its a good time to be in the pick and shovel business” ― Mark Twain


    I like Open Orphan (ORPH : AIM) ? ... they are a drug trials/genome research company that have recently doubled in size as a result of a merger, and gained a potential block buster flu vaccine drug in the process.

    CEO Cathal Friel seems to be a serious deal maker who talks a great game and he is making no secret of the fact that its going up for sale once the combined entity is profitable.... somewhere in next 12 months. (he owns a stack of the equity himself and is locked in for 3 years).


    SP has actually slipped a few % this week so far... soo might be a buying opportunity.

    Disclaimer : This is still a small London AIM listed company soo ....DYOR

    I was down over €500 at one point on this and feeling sick to my stomach, yesterday was up over €300 at its peak, hopefully its the start of a journey towards $10 this summer.
    The ER on Monday was pretty decent I felt despite the small revenue miss. I think the aquisition of Mobile Posse with no shareholder dilution is fantastic and is a great fit for the company.

    Canopy earnings report on Feb 13th

    ER out this morning and the market is responding favourably, revenue better than expected and costs are down. Any positive outlook in the call will help.

    It's increasingly looking like the big players, Canopy, Cronos and Aphria and going to dominate in the weed market.

    Canopy Growth up 16.14% in the Pre Market Trading.

    Aurora Cannabis Inc up 8.84% in the Pre Market Trading.

    Looks like everyone is getting a bump with Canopy's results.

    The cannabis shares follow each other around like sheep.
    I expect over the next 12 months that the bigger players with the cash and sales will pull away, there'll be some consolidation as smaller companies run out of road and others disappear altogether.

    I’m gonna hold anyway, feel it’s a reasonable pure play for the sector.
