I know it's not sexy but has anyone been eyeing any gold stocks lately? I currently own KL but also thinking of picking up more plus also looking at IMG. I feel like gold still has a ways to run and is just consolidating right now but the selling pressure has been a bit overblown. Being patient right now and waiting for $50 entry price on KL and $4 for IMG.

I had bought CHR.un (Chorus) at $2.21 about a week ago. There came news that they might have an acquisition offer but they are not announcing anything yet as nothing is confirmed. Unfortunately I had a sell order gtc at $2.68 (although I got $2.80 for it) but now it's at $3.18. Wondering if it'll go much higher on monday after market has had time to digest the news.

Haha indeed and close to my birthday too. I also got a promotion so yah it's been a good week lol.

Contrary to what you may believe it is a thing that the analytics community is looking more at. Of course you can't teach skill even if the guy is a year younger than some in his draft class, but these kids develop so much year to year. If you draft a guy born July/August, just because he hasn't shown you the stats that an older player may have doesn't mean he won't get there given a few more months. Case in point Jonah Gadjovich was a second round overager who looked amazing stat wise. Sure lock right? Why was he even available in second round? Guess what he is October birthday so when he was drafted he was already a full 2 years older than Kunz was when he was drafted. That's why it's important to take age into consideration.

The thing I love about almost all the picks, but particularly this one and Jurmo is that they all share late birthdays. Kunz is August birthday and Jurmo is April birthday. I find that a good statistical portion of successful late round draft picks come from late birthdays. In the past scouts would not take this into consideration as they can only scout what they see. However I've found that players born from around May onwards tends to have an average of 25-35% statistical increase in their stats year over year after their draft year. What this means is you get better value for your pick because scouts don't pick up on this anomaly unless they have stat guys working for them.

If you want to pay 50%+ lending fee be my guest . So far looking good today on an overall down day. They just announced pricing on ps5 and started taking preorders last night with reports that it's already sold out everywhere. Also according to reports the disc drive version is the more popular version (although redflagdeals seems to prefer discless but they are redflagdeals so..)

Yah I know the options are thru the roof. Typically I expect a significant pull back once it's run up 5-10% but this is somewhat unexpected. Volume started off really slow too and gradually picked up through the day. Supposedly short interest has actually increased today so not too much short covering.

GME up 20% so far today on no news. I can only explain as a short squeeze or a big whale buying up shares. No shares available to borrow as of a couple days ago and over 50% lending rate

There are lots of great points here. The borrow fee has come down a lot. It was above 30% a little while back. I am not certain how many are retail or institutional short sellers but it's interesting to note that the amount of shares available to short hasn't really gone up that much. I'm thinking the price action in the last few days have had some covering but then the shorts are also trying to reshort at higher levels. Cohen may be done but I don't think he is necessarily selling anytime soon. As for console sales I am not aware of the numbers but they are definitely up a lot. Nintendo switches have been sold out for months and even xbox and ps4 have had revitalized sales numbers.

I've been in and out of this stock for almost a year now and the shorts thesis has been that the company is going to go bankrupt. Of course they were hoping that Covid would put them out of their misery but if anything it's made them stronger. They've pushed out half of their debt a few years out but even their debt load is manageable as is and their cash flow will keep them going for minimum a few more years so it's not going bankrupt anytime soon. Especially with console cycle coming up. Shorts borrowing fee has been over 30% because there is no shares available but with these catalysts I don't see any reason shorts should continue to hold on. Also Ryan Cohen has continued to add even today after the huge run up he bought another 400+k shares at average of 6.60 bringing his share count to 9.6% of the company shares.

Since this is purely speculative I'll throw in the disclaimer on this stock I'm currently in. GameStop (ticker GME) has a nearly 100% short float and news came in over the weekend that Ryan Cohen (co-founder of Mr Chewy) bought a nearly 10% stake in the company. In case you've never heard about him he has an investing philosophy of go big or go home. When he sold his company he basically plowed it all into Apple and Wells Fargo and has done exceptionally well. This is his third big purchase so it's a big statement coming from a single individual investor. With earnings coming out in a bout a week (gaming has done well post covid) and PS5 and Xbox launch around the corner we could see a massive short squeeze. Just make sure to have a stop limit in case it goes the other way but short term I see lots of upside. Also do your DD on this company, it has relatively small amount of debt compared to it's cash flow and lots of cash on hand. Today it was up 25% on huge volume and I can see that continuing until earnings

Instead of slaying dragons, let's slay some Knights!

Don't worry I also was suggesting we take Seider at the time.

Just curious but what's been your return after the last month or so?

I get the sense that this series will benefit Vancouver if only because of the long layoff. The way I see it offense tends to be the first thing that returns, while defense takes at least half a season to get back into the groove. With our young guns I think we can overpower their defense early on and steal a couple of early wins. Hopefully that will be enough to get us into the 1st round.

I know. However for the uninitiated reading these threads and the euphoria going on they could be suckered into a long term position. Therefore I felt it appropriate to leave a disclaimer for those who have not posted.

Exactly as long as you remained disciplined in your trades whether the stock jumps way up after you've sold it you've still made a decent chunk of change. And with AriGold providing all the tips there is always something new to jump into haha.

For sure Remark has a longer shelf life than most Pharmas because they actually have something they can sell to the public (vs Pharma that is a hope and a dream). They still don't have a sustainable business model because after Covid no one will be buying temperature scanners and I imagine they don't have a recurring business model. Typically when it comes to small cap companies like this whenever I see over 75-100 million$ in daily volume it's probably time to get out (Multiply daily volume by stock price). I am no expert on the matter but generally that is the case. Now could I see Remark going higher? Probably but it'll most likely revert back to it's trendline around $2 before making another move up.

The problem with any company related to Covid is that these are all pump and dumps. Pharmaceuticals, Biotech companies, ReMark etc. None of these have sustainable businesses at super high valuations and should never be held long term. I remember during the whole Ebola craze when pharmaceuticals jumped couple hundred percent and eventually never to be heard of again. There is no money to be made there. Also there will always be good news like "Oh our vaccine works or our drug works" but 99% of the time they never pan out.

In regards to QLGN it looks like there is significant support at the level it is at right now so if it went down it shouldn't be by much. This looks like a sell the pop stock like all the stocks that have been listed here the last few weeks. I have no idea what the news or fundamentals of this company are but there could be a chance it has another pop in the next few months and then I'd be getting out. Don't get greedy. As for ABIO, that was a crazy last three days and you should definitely not beat yourself over it. You made money...end of story. Had you held till the next day as all temptations do you'd be down 30%. I know you say you wouldn't have held past that day but your saying that in hindsight.

LOL none of these stocks are considered 'safe' and this thread should really be renamed the Gambling thread. Most of these plays are day - weekly trades and should be played that way.

Wow go big or go home!

I'm at the point now where we are really stuck between a rock and a hard place. To be honest we can't keep everything shut down and while I don't own a business I know that it's not feasible to stay shut down forever. In reality we will most likely have to deal with higher death tolls. Even the process of opening and shutting and opening and shutting is too drastic for most companies to survive. What closing down for the last few months has done is prepared us and bought us some time to bring in important supplies such as PPE and ventilators. The rules we have in place for businesses will have to suffice. Perhaps make mask wearing (of any kind) mandatory. At the very least it will help cut down infection rates in public.

Buffet sold them at least 30% higher than todays prices.

Yup I have Canadian Apartment REIT and while I believe there will definitely be some tenants that can't pay rent I think it might be slightly overblown how many won't be able to. At the very least management will be working with the tenants to ask them to pay what they can and with the subsidies and other income they should be able to collect majority of rent.
