The only due diligence that is really necessary is to view the filings to make sure an S3 (or a shelf offering) isn't on deck because those are horrible to be caught in (IDAI above.)

To provide an example consider yesterday RXRX had news for a 50 million dollar investment from NVIDIA. Unless I'm a total dumbass (possible,) that news seems.. decent? Right? It was assaulted from $14.99 to $10 with a recovery back to $12.

PWM was one of these new china pump scams and the thing went to $32. TOP financial was another recent one and the legendary HKD happened earlier this year. I didn't play either of those.
The “advantage” of day trading? You’re losing your fucking ass. Stop and just dump money into SPY every paycheck and forget about it. Check back in 20 years.

If you dont understand the business, why would you buy it? You cant analyze and value something you dont understand.
Looking at the company they have a malarial dewormer for sale that is less popular than equivalent alternatives. They're also seeking to get this dewormer approved for covid uses or something. I mean, at least it appears to be a real company with real products, so it's better than some of the meme stocks that pop up here.

You made my point for me though. Stop being a trader. Historically, traders lose. Start being an investor. Investors retire to big farms in Pennsylvania.

DIS has been bouncing off support at $88-ish for a while now. I have been waiting for it to break down below.

edit: speaking of DIS

Mogly stop buying shit. Just be done with it, buy something that when it goes wrong you can actually just say fuck it and hold it and watch you earn all your money back over time.

Just to be part of the conversation, I never got in on MTTR but I did buy some SPIR based on the forum for which I am bag holding :(

Luckily I did not dump my life savings in it as I only have about ~=3000$ invested. It's majorly down, something like 60%. It is current trading around 0.69$ and I my cost basis is just under 3$ /ouch

Anyway I also went through the process of deciding if I should cut losses and decided no one this one for a few reasons.
  • It is a small % of my portfolio so not really a huge deal to me
  • Like Sanrith Descartes Sanrith Descartes I believe they may eventually do something. I followed-up after FoH research and figured fuck it
  • A reminder of my potential mistakes and why I typically do not go after individual tickers unless they are long established businesses
  • I know this may sound amazing, but I have been selling 3$ covered calls on it monthly for 0.01 lol, someone is buying them so I keep doing it. Makes me chuckle once a month when get my 10$ due to SPIR

I still like the company a lot to be honest and have some shares. I got very lucky while I was a SPAC and made a windfall which I reinvested so while I took a haircut when I sold most of my shares around $1, I ended up about even. My thought is eventually they get acquired by someone.

Sold covered calls on my PLTR again. $25 strike, Aug expiry for 23 cents. Note: Earnings are the week before the monthly expiry and I have every intention of being out of it before they announce.

If you go back in this thread about 18 months you will see some of us discussing that interest rates needed to be 7-9% to resolve this. This soft landing shit was always a bad idea. One thing the FED excels at is bad ideas.
The only fix to inflation is to set rate at 1.5x the real rate of inflation and quit printing money like mad. This 7% crap is just another way they are transferring more money to themselves.

We finally know the secret all the 1%ers use to become 1%ers. They let the cat out of the bag. You just gotta come up with $100k.

Well I've got 500k in funds I can play around with. How I get rich?

No, you need to give $100k to four less fortunate folks so they can share in the prosperity. This is how it works now.
