    Since SHOP gets hyped up here, any opinion on BZUN (the "chinese SHOP")?

    Posted: 08 Dec 2017 03:42 AM PST

    I just learned about BZUN yesterday and im considering a very small position. I am overly skeptical of any Chinese company due to a perceived ability to fudge numbers, but BZUN is 25% owned by BABA, and is poised to grow.

    I did see an issue with the shares getting diluted, which gives me hesitation. I was wondering if anyone here had an opinion on the stock, or other related ones

    What happened on the RPRX daily chart and rally in Oct 17?

    Posted: 08 Dec 2017 10:14 AM PST

    I was reviewing a candlestick chart on finviz, and see intersecting lines, with one originating from the highest point before a drop, meeting up with a small spike up. What do these lines (try to) represent exactly? And why does it seem that it could've been used to represent the rally(?) In Oct?

    Silver?

    Posted: 08 Dec 2017 08:30 AM PST

    I've been trying to get into stocks and was bummed that I missed the currency-that-cannot-be-named bus. A guy I know who got rich off [that] said silver is going to be big in 2018 because of some new technology and it's going to outperform gold. So, I just Googled that and Motley Fool said to buy silver if it falls below $15 back in July. Looks like it's currently at $15.85. While I was Googling, I saw a lot of sites that said silver is going to soar...of course, you guys will probably tell me people say that about everything all day long. But, I can't see how silver would really be a bad investment. I'm not investing my life savings or anything.

    This would literally be my first stock investment ever, so I know you guys are probably all about talking to people who know something and it's a mutual exchange of helping each other out, not helping people like me who really don't know anything, but I just want to hear some opinions on silver in 2018. I'm not really looking to invest long term (although my mind might change over time). I'd like to invest before it booms and make a bunch of money if possible. I don't even know how to trade online without a broker atm, so I'll be looking into all that over the weekend. Any recommendations on that appreciated, too.

    Stock Price vs Stock Quantity

    Posted: 08 Dec 2017 12:28 PM PST

    So I keep hearing that stock price is irrelevant and the quality of the stock is more important.

    You only have 100 bucks to buy stock. Stock A is 20 bucks. You have have 5 shares. It goes up 5%. That's a $5 profit. Stock B is 100 bucks. It goes up 5%. 5 dollar profit, etc.

    (1*.05)100 shares = 5 bucks profit.

    (20*.05)5 shares = 5 bucks profit.

    (100*.05)1 share = 5 bucks profit.

    All stock went up 5%. You spent all 100 dollars on the 3 different scenarios. All stocks equated to a $5 profit.

    Assuming my math is correct, this is an easy way to visualize that share price doesn't matter as much as percentage gain does.

    You buy the 100 shares at $1 versus the 1 share of the $100 stock because your ASSUMING that it will have higher percentage gains than the $100 stock. Otherwise, assuming percentage gains are equal, the profit always works out to be the same.

    Vanguard for stocks anyone?

    Posted: 08 Dec 2017 03:34 AM PST

    I setup a new Fidelity account to trade on the OTC markets here in the US for 4.95 per trade

    Turns out Fidelity has a $50 foreign fee on SOME otcs, and you can't know which ones unless you call and ask or you just try to buy, even then it's a warning so you don't know for sure, depends on the stock.

    Now I just realized vanguard can also buy these stocks, I think it's $7 per trade (not sure) can anyone tell me is vanguard a decent trading platform? I only hear about them for mutual funds and such.

    I already have a vanguard account and would like to trade without an unpredictable $50 fees. When I read up on trading elsewhere online, vanguard isn't usually recommended but instead e trade, Fidelity etc

    Can someone make a case for $P

    Posted: 07 Dec 2017 07:56 PM PST

    Pandora Media has never turned a profit and they aren't excellently on the come up. Their losses have been widening and they aren't and never will be gaining paid users. How are they still valued at a billion dollars? The market leader, Spotify, doesn't make a profit yet. Is everyone holding in hopes for an acquisition. I see no value in this company otherwise.

    Thoughts on GPRO and CHK?

    Posted: 08 Dec 2017 02:26 PM PST

    I've been looking into these two for a while now, especially GoPro. Both have performed pretty dang poor the past couple of years. Of course, it doesn't help they're in fairly volatile industries. I think Chesapeake is certainly risky but could be rewarding in the future.

    What happens in a stock buy back?

    Posted: 08 Dec 2017 01:05 PM PST

    I understand the concept, but I'm wondering what exactly happens. Do they offer it to all stock holders? Do you just get a letter/e-mail offering to buy all your shares or just some? Do they just offer at the current price or do they give you some extra? Just curious really. Thanks.

    Upper limit on how many stocks one should own/keeping track?

    Posted: 08 Dec 2017 07:58 AM PST

    Someone posted something similar in r/investing but a lot of answers were about numbers of ETFs/MFs.

    I was curios what you think the upper limit of the number of stocks you should own? How many do you own? Also, how do you keep up to date on the company? I would assume read 10-Q/K, news, but curious if I'm missing anything.

    I will add that I'm looking at this from a buy and hold angle, not actively trading. Lastly, I understand "The right number is what meets your risk tolerance." I get that, I'm looking for other opinions/non-generic answer.

    Thoughts of $F

    Posted: 08 Dec 2017 11:30 AM PST

    Thinking it will rise over the next month till earnings, given consumer credit is up and I'm assuming the Houston area will be selling a lot of fords, given a lot of cars were lost during the hurricane.

    I guess the only question would be is this already priced in?

    Eager to hear thoughts!

    Posted: 08 Dec 2017 01:35 AM PST

    American Outdoor Brands Corps, formerly Smith & Wesson, closed yesterday at $14.93, it decline in AH trading to 12.40 in anticipation of earnings. The earning AH exceeded EPS 0.08 actual 0.11. Assuming traders return, this would mean a possible return to the closing cost. A 16.95% change. Might be a good PM pickup. Do your DD. I'm just scanning here.

    Shorting a stock with the options chain or otherwise

    Posted: 08 Dec 2017 10:23 AM PST

    Hello,

    There is this stock that I think is in a bearish trend and would like to short it according to a risk range. I would like to take a short position when that stock hits the upper bound of the range, and cash in when it hits the lower bound of the risk range.

    That range can change on a daily basis, but will remain in a bearish trend, for the forseable future (for sake of argument)

    Let's say the stock hits 100$ and my range tells me this is the time to short it and the lower bound of the range is at 85$.

    I would think I need to buy a put option with a strike price of 85$, which is what I do.

    The next day, the stock drops to 90$ but the range's lower bound also moved up to 90$, telling me it's time to execute the option. The option I bought was with a strike price of 85$.... So.... What should I do then ? Can I execute the option with a penalty of some sorts ?

    Is there any way I could follow such a trading process with the chain or otherwise ?

    I'm using Virtual Brokers as online broker, and it seems I do not have the simplified transaction type of "Selling short" that eTrade has. I only have access to the option chain.

    Thanks.

    FOX Disney Situation

    Posted: 07 Dec 2017 09:59 PM PST

    If Disney does buy FOX will the price of FOX increase close to that of Disney? If someone could explain how this buyout will affect the price of both Disney and FOX that would be greatly appreciated.

    What's Your Stock Picking Strategy?

    Posted: 08 Dec 2017 08:05 AM PST

    I'd like to hear about everyone's different investment strategies..

    How do you decide on the stocks that you invest in?

    Do you use fundamental analysis or technical?

    Are you more growth or value minded?

    What metrics do you use and what are you looking for in a company/stock before you invest?

    What are your current holdings?

    And finally, what has your YTD return been?

    I personally follow a small-cap value strategy. I only look at companies with a high earnings yield (EBIT/EV), high ROI, and minimal debt. I don't mind investing in struggling industries because you can often find a lot of value there if you find the right companies.

    My current holdings: GME BKE FRAN FONR AGX JCTCF IDCC SCKT NTIP

    YTD Return: -1.39%

    VCEL, recognizing top formation and when to take profit after a sharp advance

    Posted: 07 Dec 2017 11:58 PM PST

    I've posted a bit about identifying bottoms to buy at. But I also recommend selling at the top, and this is one of the more identifiable top formation patterns. It's the sharp advance on unsustainable momentum, otherwise known as the rising wedge.

    First I'll mention that, this stock, VCEL, went against my expectations at first. I miss tons of entries, but there are always more, and it's important that you make the correct entry instead of chasing with worse risk/reward ratio. I initially thought this stock was going to head lower to the 200MA. https://charts.stocktwits.com/production/original_101834348.PNG?1510900417, https://charts.stocktwits.com/production/original_101834770.PNG?1510901602. The next day it withstood the pressure and hung out flat instead of being pushed down along the resistance trendline. It broke the falling wedge pattern early. I wasn't sure if it would rip or just consolidate for a while, and I missed the breakout and entry at 3.75-3.80.

    I didn't make the intermediary chart (all I did was draw a support trendline for the entry), so this is the one I annotated yesterday when planning my exit: https://charts.stocktwits.com/production/original_103950550.PNG?1512606402

    I enter on 11-30th after the slide on low volume to the support trendline. On the 29th it closed at about the support trendline on a doji. The next day was reversal confirmation. The classic method is to get in on the break of the previous day high, so 4.20, but the buying was strong enough (it went pretty much straight up on the 30th) that I entered at 4.15.

    I told myself I was going to sell half at the first profit target at 4.45 or 4.50 and was up almost 10% on one day on the 30th. But the pullback from resistance at 4.50 was light so I stayed in, and it also closed above the highs of the previous red candles in this zone (Nov 7th, 22nd, 24th) so I thought it was poised to break 4.50 and hold above it.

    After the break of 4.50, this is clear sailing for a dollar move. There's no resistance line you can draw anywhere on this chart until 5.40 for a previous top.

    Today comes, it pushes all the way up to the edge of the pattern at 5.40, near the previous top, and that's it. https://imgur.com/4CntQeY. My exit was 0.05 from the exact high of day, then it sold off more than 10%. Maybe, or even probably, by the time my funds are settled it already rips and I miss the reentry, and I look stupid if it bounces straight from 4.9 to 6.

    True. But I captured two whole moves up, and pushed this particular trade to the maximum of what makes sense. You just cannot sit on 30% profit in one week without locking it in. If someone had the good entry for AMD for example and bought at 10.8, but had the mindset of selling at 14 no matter what instead of selling when it was at 12 or 11 when the chart was getting bearish, then they were punished. It's almost as though good trading means not playing static ranges or price targets and constantly evaluating the chart.

    These setups that happen all over the place. A similar one is NERV from 11-14-2017 till 11-27-2017. I like how these intermediate-length holds happen in as close to a 'vacuum' as there can be. Yes the market of course has turmoil, there's systematic and political risk, but earnings is done. And outside surprise dilution or out of nowhere scandal/ headwind that even bluechips like Wells Fargo, Shopify, TD Bank, or Qualcomm aren't immune to, there's no binary event making or breaking your trade. With these setups, it's organic price action that you're capitalizing on.

    Edit: Getting too long I know, but comparing the entry I missed at 3.75-3.8 and the one I took at 4.15, I think this is because bounces off a base or developing horizontal support line are harder to anticipate. I'm not sure how to figure out how long it needs to consolidate there before taking off. Whereas a successful hold of a sharper angled support trendline puts more upward pressure on the stock especially followed by buying the next day right out of the gate, which is why the one on the 30th was clearer to me.

    What’s the relation of “volume”?

    Posted: 08 Dec 2017 03:23 AM PST

    New to stocks. I was reading up on some comments and one redditor was saying how he was watching "a huge amount of volume coming through". My question, if I'm wording this right, is what's the influence of trade volume have to do with the stock price? Thanks.
