    I’m good with it. But I also think you should be able to sell alcohol just about anywhere and you should be able to drink in public and carry open containers around.

     

    (And I don’t even really drink. At least not anymore, as it doesn’t agree with my meds. But I’ve always thought the liquor laws in Canada were pretty ridiculous.)

    Oh man they tried to open it up in some parks in the Fraser Valley and people were like "omg we are going to have drunks all around kids in the parks its going to be awful and make us look like trash"

     

    Wait what?  It would be like drinking a beer instead of a coffee as you watched your kids play in the park, I highly doubt this is going to have the average person suddenly get plastered at the parks, the ones who would get plastered are already plastered lol.

    You guys remember the idea we would get liquor in grocery stores etc... here in BC?

    In short it was all a play brought to you by Jimmy Pattison. He met privately with Crusty Clark. She had the Yap report pushed out ( poll of 500 BC'rs). People got stoked thinking they will be able to buy booze from the corner stores like in Europe. 

    They approved the concept but then for some reason had to decide what a 'grocery store' was...there answer was 'at least 10,000 sq ft'.(hmmm, who owns such big 'shop?')

    So there goes any corner store booze sales.

    When the new licenses were released JP bought up 95% of them.  That's why you will likely on find wine on the shelves of his mega stores. 

    Wasn't the issue the groceries stores had to be xxxx amount of distance from another liquor store so they wouldn't crash the established liquor store?  I think I heard my superstore is getting rezoned to sell wine (don't matter to me, I don't drink that crap, I need whiskey on the shelves) but I think that was one of the issues was places had to be rezoned a lot of the times.

    It's true that the CCP is authoritarian.

     

    I imagine they would come down pretty hard on any doctor or scientist who contradicted the 'official' number of cases and deaths reported by the government.

    Just look at the doctor who discovered and became the whistleblower.  Didn't they end up jailing him and he eventually died because he didn't get any treatment for covid or something along those lines?

    Target - Healthcare businesses operating in North America.

    Love it!  I got into TMDX last week to get some healthcare exposure.

    Personally, I was turned off by the acquisition choice. For a team of that stature I wanted windmills or solar panels.. Not recycling batteries..

     

    I've stopped looking at PDAC because of this. If it was me I would personally move on but to each their own.

     

    I'm sure this will become the rage at some point but I think it's capital used better elsewhere for the time being.

    Cheers appreciate your insight. I thought for a while it was going to be that ReNew from the original rumour

    Palantir Faces Big Test as 80% of Shares Unlock for Trading

    (Bloomberg) -- Palantir Technologies Inc. has amassed a long list of shareholders in the nearly two decades since it was founded. On Thursday, almost all of them will have the option to sell as much of their stock as they’d like for the first time.

     

    Four-fifths of shares will become eligible to trade when the market opens, the result of an unusual restriction placed on stockholders when Palantir went public. Such lockups are common after initial public offerings but less so for companies that list their shares directly on an exchange, as Palantir did on the New York Stock Exchange in September.

     

    Two longtime investors said in interviews that they will hold, but at least one other, billionaire George Soros, has publicly signaled his plans to exit. The shares were down 4.4% in early trading in New York.

    Wow 80% of shares.  Wow thats gonna be MASSIVE influx in the market.

    Locked in profits with CCIV this morning. I'm letting the profits ride

    Thinking of doing the same.  Bought last week in 30s so up 85%, would offset some of my recent losses with CLOV and IDEX. 

     

    Thinking of getting more into ETFs, anyone got any preferred ones you feel are good for the future?  I know theres the basic JMOM that gets like 10% a year, etc.

    Your stop loss is quite high looking at HEC's chart, what made you choose that stop loss? 

     

    HEC fell along with the rest of the SPAC sector during a correction. 

    HEC has a higher stock inflow than outflow (buying outpaces selling) during the slow bleed

    HEC has had 4 institutional buys in Feb (no sells) totalling over 3,000,000 shares after none since August: https://sec.report/Ticker/HEC

    They are merging with Talkspace, the biggest virtual mental health provider. Trading at only half to a third of the value given to its competitors, like TDOC. 

     

    It seems like a good value buy here for at least 30-40% gains over the short-term, depending on when it catches. 

     

     

    I generally set stops 15% below my buy price just so I don't sink to far (had a few 40%+ that really bit me and didn't recover for ages). I had bought HECCW and it hit that loss market after a couple weeks of more red than green.

    STPK also killing it. CURI as well. 

     

    HEC added along with HECCW. 

    Added more RMO because &^@# Morgan Stanley. 

    Do you believe in HECCW (HEC)?  Think I screwed up dumping it because it hit my stop loss.  Man up 7% AH, its just been on a slow drop for me, I cut bait earlier today but feel that may be a bad decision.  

     

    Thank god STPK is still doing well for me.  One of my few winners lately.

    I just tried to run some numbers with this and I got a message that said "You cannot place a Buy order for a security on that exchange as a resident of your province." Anyone had this before?

     

    I use CIBC Investors Edge. What trading platform did you use to buy this Warhippy?

    Maybe try tomorrow during market hours?  I know I seem to have issues with some OTC stocks while others work just fine.  Heck I bought DSGT in the past, ran it up and cashed out, looked to get back in and was getting rejected when I tried to buy, then one day it worked.  I know one I see people post a lot is TAUG and I can't seem to buy it via RBC ever, every time I have tried its gotten rejected, which is too bad because first time I wanted to buy it, I would have had a decent return by now.

    Personally was hoping for a solar panel play but batteries have been hot. Should settle tomorrow end of day around $18-20. If anybody is looking for an entry it will drop around 8am is my guess.. Then it should ride throughout the day into the sunset. Anything under $15 is a win.

    I read a rumor of an india company last week, guess thats not happening. But I guess batteries are getting bigger with EVs and powerwalls and energy storage, etc. so a recycler could be big long term.
