But I guess most of us have some sort of story like that. I was thinking of investing in Starbucks back in the early nineties but changed my mind. I can one up you one that.. .not me personally though. It happened to a friend of a friend of mine. In the late 80's, his friend had approached him with a business offer.. A small group of investors were gathering to invest in a Seattle coffee shop that was looking to expand into Vancouver, he was offered a seat at the table to invest into the company to aid in the Vancouver expansion and beyond, he declined. I forget the exact percentage he was oeffered, but I want to say it was in the 5% range. 1 hour ago, NucksPatsFan said: Have you heard about the 200 million dollar pizza order?

Muscatel Marauder Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 I was going to buy gold when it was like $26 @ ounce. I asked my broker about it. He said it will never go up. At that time you could buy a $100,000 worth of gold through the bank of Nova Scotia for $3,000 down and $50 @ month of maintenance fee. They keep the gold in storage, but it was yours. Good call As.h.le. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What you're describing sounds more like a futures contract. No broker/bank is going to let you buy on 3% margin without charging you hefty margin fees. That's just not how brokerage firms and banking works. Are there more details to this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look in to it Faraday Future has hit some speed bumps — including falling behind on millions of dollars in escrow payments meant to cover costs for the plant. Faraday Future founder files for bankruptcy to repay personal debts. All they are going to do with the SPAC money is paydown debt so they can rack it up again and file for bankruptcy while paying themselves huge salaries.

In and out they say right? ZOM is killing it for me in the pre market as well. Might hit my trigger to sell. I can see why they say people get slaughtered or make out like bandits in the pre-market because wow you have to be fast Edited January 11, 2021 by Warhippy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure, but I did see they have a backlog of ~2 billion of orders in some capacity, likely needing the capital raised from the SPAC to execute Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's just not how brokerage firms and banking works. Are there more details to this? Sorry got the price wrong. August 15, 1971 The government held the $35 per ounce price until August 15, 1971, when President Richard Nixon announced that the United States would no longer convert dollars to gold at a fixed value, thus completely abandoning the gold standard. At that time, banks had to hold a certain amount of gold in reserve. If you had the $100,000, you could get it delivered as well. You went thru the bank, not a broker.

Sp3nny Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 Good God anybody see SIGL today? Ever since Elon tweeted about leaving whatsapp for Signal, people been buying it up. If my math is correct, you could have bought it 6 trading days ago for .50C at a market cap of 45M. Today it closed at $3.6B, and peaked at almost $7B. And its not even the proper company for the Signal app! Lol. Just incredible... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
