That sucks. At least you got Softy.

 

I get that it might be hard for analysts to make predictions during the pandemic but how on Earth does one of the biggest companies in the world  beat earning7x ?s by

 

Apple is one of the 30 Dow components. The Dow unlike the S&P and Nasdaq is a price weighted index. The higher price one component has, the more sway it has on the index. You currently have 7 components with a price below $50 that have little sway compared to AAPL at $400+.

EPS miss by 7X? Amazon is pretty tight with their info. You get what they choose to give you. Revenue +40% in Q2 to almost $90B. I read Bezo's biography which was fascinating. Truly rags to riches.

No, EPS beat by 7x. Estimate of $1.46 = Actual $10.30

 

Channel checks ought to tell analysts they are way off their estimates.

Anyone play BTC?

 

I'm not in BTC, don't understand crypto, but I've always kept small positions of RIOT, CNET and MARA as blockchain sympathies off when BTC does well.

Yep, I got my own personal play in it as well as me and few friends have started a side business involved in mining it.  My personal play, i'm in it for the long, buying small orders of Satoshi each day.  It wouldn't surprise me to see the price up to 100k in a few years.

VOLT may be my first real loser. I'm going to hang on to it this week and see where it goes. It's currently as low as it should go, upward trend should start?! Might stay away from the penny stocks for a while. Here's a company that's not a penny stock, and here's what I know..

LORL - Loral Space & Communications Inc.

Something is brewing here.. I will start with what I think is going on from a few blogs and it all has to do with the LEO (Low Earth Orbit) Constellation internet race between Amazon and Apple.

 

For these companies to do this right one of them will need to partner with Loral, they're a giant in the space and are prime for a merger/buyout.

Beside the chance of a merger/buyout from Apple or Amazon the chart is primed for a run.

Hmm. I have a relative who works for Telesat I had better make a call. I have to chuckle at how things have changed. When he worked for Spar he laughed at SpaceX as a crass American attempt at the pure science of space exploration. Now his satelites are launched on SpaceX rockets.

I only had* MARA, 0.92 average. Sold at 4.15.

 

NAK might have found it's bottom. There's a massive bid at 1.55. In at 1.56 with stop at 1.535.

 

Still in VOLT, 1.38 average, nearly got stopped out yesterday. 

Still holding HTGM, looking for 1+

Back in NOVN, 0.61 average. 200SMA is 0.60, floor around 0.52...should go up from here or dip slightly further. 

 

Holding SPAQ, ONTX full

Yeah it went stale really quickly..

 

I alerted at $1.45 and it's only $1.35 right now. That being said it was a stimulus cheque catalyst. It should be announced this week before Congress takes recess.

 

But.... chart finally took a turn for the positive and should run steadily this week.

 

Every section is pointed up right now showing good times are coming!

I'm not sure what NAK is but I just checked out the chart and it's just nasty.. All the indicators are going the wrong direction and likely will for this week unless they get a PR.

Huge PR and legal battles going on.

 

The Obama admin preemptively used the EPA to prevent the mine.... even before the US engineering corp had the chance to even analyze the project, which shouldn't have been done.  Took a long time for NDM to reverse via the courts (I believe the guy who signed off immediately "retired" and just left the country too).  Trump being elected helped boosted price... but there was also a coordinated short campaign done as well which tanked prices.  

 

After just waiting for the past few years... the US engineering corp finally gave their report and it's sort of a greenlight.  

Still a PR battle happening.... a powerful lobby group is against it.  The funding of the lobby group... very "interesting".  

 

North Dynasty is still an "exploration" and "development" company... so high risks, high reward.  Could easily be worth $0.... or $30 per share.  

 

Disclosure... I'm a long-time investor.

Gold at $2052! I started buying at $1120. Many predicting $3000 (Dines & Carrasco). Biggest short term threat is a Covid vaccine. IMHO the real strength in gold is a monetary one as people are losing faith in government monetary policy. When real panic sets in I can see +$5000. It won't matter who is POTUS on Nov.4th. Trudeau is an absolute joke. Canadian debt in aggregate is worse than most. The EU is a painted pig. Japan is in its own debt world. Nope no savior out there.

Well it's been 6 months since I started my investing career and what an apparently terrible and wonderful time to start it has been. 

 

Biggest winners

 

Shopify up 150% and my largest holding. 

Square up 110% and my third largest. 

Well health up 150%

Nikola sold my initial investment over 100%, still sitting on house money at 25%. 

 

Biggest losers 

 

Scotiabank down 24%

BMO down 30%

BAM.A down 46%

Remark down 50%

Gnus down 60%. 

 

Last 2 I'm just gonna hold till they get back up... Eventually? Lol

 

Latest buys that are killing it

 

Fastly

Crowdstrike 

HPQ

 

And my total casino stock

 

TOMDF. 

 

Thanks for all the discussion so far!

It has been on a crazy run.. my in laws (who have waaaaaaaay more capital to play with than I do) have been flipping XGD (gold etf) for 2 months during this run and have made crazy money... he has made 22k this morning :mellow:

One of my stocks that was in the red for a while just turned green today!  Decided to unload it and invested into SOY today after they fell pretty hard after their earning report.  They seem to be rebounding nicely.  Looking for a quick little scalp!

XGD is not a gold ETF. It's a gold miners ETF. Big difference.

 

I wonder why they'd be flipping a gold miners ETF? That's kind of an odd thing to do especially considering it does not offer any leverage.

 

Why not just trade gold directly? It's way more liquid and trades 24/5. Rather than an ETF that trades 6.5 hours a day and just gaps everyday.
