    • What is your time horizon? Do you need this money next month? Next 20yrs?
    • What is your risk tolerance? (Do you mind risking it at blackjack or do you need to know its 100% safe?)

    PSA: Please stop posting here about WSB affairs. We are not a backup WSB subreddit. Your post will be removed.

    Posted: 25 Jan 2021 11:54 AM PST

    Just a quick PSA, because we are not going to leave personalized comments on the dozens of threads getting nuked here, things that are being taken down:

    • WSB mods removed a thread on XYZ

    • I think WSB is manipulating stocks

    • WSB mods are not allowing discussion of [thing I want to discuss]

    • WSB mods are children and shut the sub down

    • anyone thinking /r/investing is the right venue to air out their thoughts on how bad it is that 12 year olds are gambling on Robinhood.

    We just don't care, and we certainly are not going to be a venue for anyone to complain about the moderation of another subreddit. If you have a disagreement with the mods of WSB then slide in to their DM and let them know (modmail, don't actually DM a mod, that's weird), or go to one of the subreddits like /r/subredditdrama that are dedicated to this sort of dumb shit, but don't post about it here because that'll be immediately removed.

    This subreddit is for discussing investing, not for airing out disagreements with other subreddits. I think I've nuked a dozen threads on this topic, and two people have already been banned for re-posting removed threads.

    E: I don't know how but lot's of confused comments here, "WSB Affairs" means we don't want to see people here bitching about things that happen on that subreddit. It does not mean we're preventing any discussion of any actual trade, investment, whatever. "GME up 70000% in premarket" is a thread that get's to stay because it's an investment topic. "WSB mods did a thing I don't like" is not, that's reddit drama. Simple enough.

    GME's latest Short Interest after Jan 22 EOD is 70.97M. Cost of borrowing also increased

    Posted: 25 Jan 2021 04:46 AM PST

    After Friday's close, SI reached 70.97M from Jan 21's SI of 70.46M. Institutional cost of borrowing also increased very slightly to 24.2%.

    GME SI left to the rightmost column(exported from ORTEX data)

    We know GME absolutely ripped in Friday due to gamma hedging. Some old shorts covering could have been the main reason behind the ignition switch but I am not very confident about that.

    GME is already ripping in pre-market and I don't know what's triggering that. Maybe it's retail euphoria.

    Looks like we will continue to have gamma squeezes, tweets from Papa Cohen etc until shorts are forced to cover and close most of their shorts. I am changing my thesis. I thought we will see a slow TSLA-esque short-covering in GME. Looks like we are setting up for something much quicker.

    So damn tired of...

    Posted: 25 Jan 2021 08:03 PM PST

    The motley fool. Too many damn ads. Emails falsely leading you to believe they have insider information. Shittily written articles directing you to a page for your credit card info. I've heard there was a time when these gentlemen were highly acclaimed stock pickers in the investing community, however I wasn't around to see it. They've been around a long time. What is your opinion on them? Is there any sound investing advice behind the noise and money grubbing bullshit? Thank you for your time.

    Just a gentle reminder to all

    Posted: 25 Jan 2021 08:43 PM PST

    This crazy market we see today is nothing new. Speculations, euphoria, hype, "prodigy" investors.... It has happened and will continue to happen for as long as the stock markets exist.

    However, no matter the market conditions, the fundamentals and logic behind investing should not change. Here is a little quote from the timeless "the intelligent investor" book.

    An investor calculates what a stock is worth, based on the value of its businesses. A speculator gambles that a stock will go up in price because somebody else will pay even more for it. As Graham once put it, investors judge "the market price by established standards of value," while speculators "base [their] standards of value upon the market price." For a speculator, the incessant stream of stock quotes is like oxygen; cut it off and he dies. For an investor, what Graham called "quotational" values matter much less. Graham urges you to invest only if you would be comfortable owning a stock even if you had no way of knowing its daily share price.

    To all fellow investors, have fun and invest smartly.

    My Bullish take on BB long term

    Posted: 25 Jan 2021 09:46 PM PST

    Position:194 shares at $19.28

    Disclaimer: I started trading this January and my views are purely informational and I do not condone anyone making financial/trading decisions based on this post. Do your DD before you trade. This is a bullish take on BB and may have some holes in it.

    So I have been watching BB for a while now and feel the company is undervalued. Forgive me as I have not made a DD post before, I failed English in high school, and I am typing this up on my phone.

    BB originally caught my attention because it struck me that it survived being primarily a phone company and shifted its business to its cyber security and other software. I Put it on my watch list to swing it a little bit and recently sold 140 shares at $11.

    Seeing the price go up and the volume I decided I would jump back in since the trend analysis looked pretty good. Bought in at 19.28 and it almost immediately crashed, I suspect likely due to the pullback the whole market had this morning with stimulus talks being delayed.

    Canada Halts trading today due to the volatility followed by BB making a statement in response basically saying idk why investors are buying up the stock we haven't made any announcements Trading resumes and the price rises back up beyond open in AH, closing at nearly 20 dollars.

    THEN as you have already probably seen, BB announces partnership with Baidu - coincidence? Probably not, investors probably coaxed that information out of them and they likely didn't want to get caught in some insider trading schenangians.

    Speculation for tomorrow: BB Will open strong and meet or exceed the 40% growth of today since it just got that huge news. Baidu is Chinese google, and they partnered with BB since they need a operating system platform to mass produce their maps software in autonomous/ev vehicles with their partner GAC. Now this is a lot of China talk but BB is headquartered in CANADA which is much friendlier in regards to trade than the U.S.

    A little bit of information about GAC, they are a Chinese automotive giant that has came to the United States National Automobile Dealers association expos begging for investors, however has not had much success since the last 4 years have not been good for U.S. and China Trade.

    The LONG game: Once our new administration warms up to China after those in charge of trade take their cuts, (and they will because history repeats itself, but right now the bear case would be that Biden is not looking to change tariffs on China, playing tough until he gets some leverage is what I think is really going on) GAC will have lots of opportunity to start putting their vehicles on our roads. GAC is the highest rated car brand in China so it may have a chance in the United States if it plays its cards right, which means we could have Blackberry powered Autonomous EVs on our streets in the next 5 years.

    This company has a lot of value in our up and coming future of Electric and Autonomous vehicles.

    I am too new to this to speculate on where this stock should be valued at, but here are some resources where I got my information so you can decide for yourself:

    Ok. I think institutional investors really are looking at Reddit now.

    Posted: 25 Jan 2021 08:20 AM PST

    Or they were already. But I think more and more are paying closer attention. All this talk about BB over the weekend. And then suddenly it increases by 33% today on Monday. That is more than 3 billion dollars moved around. There's no way that's just Reddit by itself. This is not a coincidence.

    Does anyone know what happened today to cause the “crash” around 11:05 am ET

    Posted: 25 Jan 2021 01:32 PM PST

    I've been trying to look for some information on what happened, but I haven't really found anything specific. Seemed like a flash crash, but it was short lived and $DOW only dropped like 200pts. No gonna lie, it was a little scary there, saw March 2020 coming back for a second round.

    Still, I'd love to hear from anyone who understands this better than I do or has an article that discusses the causes of such an event.

    Thanks !

    Why would Gamestop (GME) succeed in selling games online?

    Posted: 25 Jan 2021 08:29 PM PST

    Gamestop's business model back in the days was to sell games in brick and mortar shops. This worked well for Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo because they didn't have to deal with running a retail business; it was cost effective to just give a cut to GME. The gaming console companies were effectively paying Gamestop for the service of running stores to sell their games. In the digital world however, why would someone buy games from Gamestop when they could just buy it on the Playstation Store or the Nintendo eShop? I don't know a single person who buys iOS apps outside the Apple App Store. I don't know a single person who buys Android apps outside the Play Store.

    What's Gamestop's moat here? Why wouldn't Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo cut out the middle man that's Gamestop? If someone can seriously address these concerns, I'll put in 100k into GME shares and join the squeeze with a screenshot.

    What if this was not a bubble - but a price correction?

    Posted: 25 Jan 2021 06:51 PM PST

    What if this is the new standard?

    What if with COVID, people realized they had a lot of unused money laying around and they decided to invest it in stock, bitcoin, gold and even collectibles (pokémon, magic and figures have seen huge spikes on extra-rare items).

    Of course, there is the side of people getting free checks and the government money printing. However, people who were getting free money were not the people who have a lot of buying power.

    People with buying power became those who substituted money from transport to benefitting from tax relief for their romote work (electricity, internet, etc).

    I can only see a crash happening when COVID is over and everything reopens (I thought this would've already happened but look at where we are now). Then again, would people start selling off their stock/investments to go to the restaurant or to the bar?

    Posted: 25 Jan 2021 01:40 PM PST

    Why are all GME buyers say wait til Friday?

    Posted: 25 Jan 2021 01:44 PM PST

    I heard that options expire on 1/29 for 115c, but what significance does that have? Why would the stock rise on Friday?

    Excuse me because I am still relatively new to trading. I myself have bought 80 shares at $69 (complete coincidence). But can anybody explain to me what the significance of Friday/end of week implications would mean for the price of the GME stock?

    What does Gamestop get out of their stock taking off?

    Posted: 26 Jan 2021 02:35 AM PST

    I'm not an investor, don't know much about investing. But I got a couple of questions maybe you all can help me with.

    1. What does the actual company get out of the stock price being this over valued? Higher ups in the company can cash out stocks? Does the company get any cut out of this?
    2. Are people still shorting? Like when the stock was near or at $150, can a group start shorting then? Or is there no real amount of shares available at that point? And who decides on the timeline on when you have to make good? Like do you say in the contract that in 6 months I will give you the money back on these stocks? When presumably they are surely not going to be worth $80 or $150. How does the timeline work with shorting a stock.

    Thank you.

    Newbie SPAC question

    Posted: 26 Jan 2021 04:11 AM PST

    It was reported that the upcoming EVGO SPAC merger has a valuation of $2.6B. However the CLII SPAC company has a market cap of $500M, pre merger. This is after the big run up after the announcement last week.

    Is the difference the upside potential in this investment? Or is it something else?

    Just trying to gauge. I assume the gap wouldn't be that big now, but you never know. Thanks!

    Full Diligence Post on DIGITAL TURBINE ($APPS) +650% in 1 year and a Hidden Monopoly

    Posted: 25 Jan 2021 08:55 AM PST

    Wanted to share some of my research on Digital Turbine, which in my view isn't getting enough attention. The company owns a monopoly in the pre-load app space, has a lot of exciting growth opportunities, and is a great long-term buy. The stock is up over 650% over the past 12 months, so the valuation does seem stretched, but I could see the stock going to $100 within the next 6-12 months if the next few earnings calls don't disappoint.

    Super long post, TLDR on the bottom.

    What Does Digital Turbine Do?

    • Digital Turbine has created digital software called Ignite and its flagship product Dynamic Installs (70% of revenue) automatically pre-loads apps onto the phone for the Android market ONLY. Basically, if you buy a new Android device and you see Uber or Starbucks installed when you first boot up the phone, Digital Turbine is likely the company behind that.
    • Digital Turbine has additional products (30% of revenue) including:
      • Wizard - a pop-up menu that shows up and asks users if they want to add apps onto their phone when booting up a new phone
      • SingleTap - a patented digital ad technology that allows users to frictionlessly download apps with one-click instead of having to go through multiple steps on the App Store
      • Notifications that pop on the user's home screen recommending apps or content

    Business Model

    • The power of Digital Turbine's business model comes from its extensive partnerships. The company has multi-year EXCLUSIVE contracts with many of the major phone carriers like Verizon and AT&T, OEMs like Samsung and LG, and advertisers which consist of 70% of the top apps on Google Play.
    • To give you an example of how Digital Turbine makes money, let's imagine Lyft wants to gain users on Android devices. Lyft could spend $100 marketing on Facebook or Snapchat to get new users but then they're competing with the hundreds of thousands of other apps spending on ads, OR they could approach Digital Turbine and get a guaranteed number of pre-loaded apps onto phones for that same $100. Digital Turbine touts this to give companies a much better ROI.
      • Roughly a third of the revenue paid by an advertiser goes to the carrier, a third to the OEM, and a third to Digital Turbine
    • Carriers and OEMs earn money from advertisers without much work on their end, while app developers are able to access millions of Android devices as long as their app is a good fit for the phone buyer
    • To give you a sense of scale for the business, Digital Turbine to date has delivered 4.2 billion apps, has its software on more than 500 million phones, and is adding more than 20 million new devices each month

    Growth Prospects

    • Macroeconomic / secular trends
      • Though most US users love their iPhones the Android market actually dominates with an 80%+ market share worldwide, and this is not likely to change any time soon
      • Due to COVID-19, a lot of retail stores had to shut down, which resulted in less new phone sales, which means less revenue for Digital Turbine. With the return of the economy and with the next wave of 5G phones which will push customers to upgrade phones, the next few years look favorable for the company
    • Mobile Posse
      • The company acquired Mobile Posse, which provides carriers like Verizon and OEMs like Samsung the ability to show phone users third party content through two products:
        • firstAPP which aggregates different media content and is shown right when a user unlocks the phone
        • firstPAGE which shows media content when a user opens the browser
      • The transaction closed in February 2020 and is a great complementary add to Digital Turbine for 3 reasons:
        • The deal was extremely fair in price. Mobile Posse was acquired for $66 million but $24.5 million of that is an estimated earn-out. With the company having generated $59 million in 2019 revenue, the company was purchased just over 1x revenue which in my opinion is a steal considering the company has a 5-year CAGR of 48% and is profitable
        • This acquisition makes Digital Turbine's entire ecosystem more attractive to its partners by extending its product offerings throughout the life of the phone by being able to constantly show users content and ads. Mobile Posse's content products will now consist of around a third of Digital Turbine's revenue which is great because it decreases the company's dependence on app pre-loads.
        • One of Mobile Posse's primary carrier partners is T-Mobile which recently merged with Sprint, and this is the last major US carrier that Digital Turbine doesn't have major business with. According to the latest earnings call, the CEO remains upbeat about signing T-Mobile and Sprint as partners, and the acquisition of Mobile Posse helps makes Digital Turbine more likely to sign on the carrier, which means more devices and an even stronger partnership network.
    • International expansion
      • The third and most powerful opportunity for growth is international expansion. Currently, North America revenue accounts for roughly 65% of the company's sales, but the real golden opportunity lies beyond in developing countries where Android is the dominant player.
      • In December 2018, Digital Turbine signed on Samsung as a partner, which paved the way for the company to sign on Telefonica, Telecom Italia, America Movil, Millicom, and AT&T Mexico in the past 1-2 years. Basically, this means Digital Turbine now partners with 2/3 of the OEMs in Latin America and an estimated 80% of mobile subscribers through carriers
      • The company also has a partnership with Reliance Jio, which covers 25% of the 1 billion mobile subscribers in India and has a partnership with Xiaomi which could lead to partnerships in China
      • All of this is to say that Digital Turbine is truly in the beginning stages of its international expansion, and I believe as investors are starting to see the company successfully execute, it's beginning to draw more attention and hence why it's stock has shot up over the past year

    Financials

    • In the latest quarterly earnings report, the company reported quarter over quarter revenue that is up 116% which is inflated due to the Mobile Posse acquisition but on a combined company basis, sales grew by 53%.
    • The company also grew recurring revenue from 10% in the previous year to 40% which is a really good sign because it means revenue will be more reliable moving forward
    • The company also reported 43% gross margin in the quarter as compared to 39% in the previous year, another great sign
    • Company has just about as much debt as cash (~$17mm) and is profitable and cash-flow positive

    Risks & mitigations

    • First, is the valuation. Digital Turbine has experienced some explosive growth over the past year and in order to justify its share price, the company needs to execute well especially with its international expansion which is always tricky
      • However, I do think the management team has shown that it has been making all the right moves and I think the path to future growth as I laid out earlier in the video will lead to some nice surprise developments in the next few years
    • Second, in its 10K, one of the biggest risks is that carriers or OEMs may start building their own services to work with advertisers, and if a big customer like Verizon or AT&T were to pull out their contracts, that would really hurt the company like when TikTok pulled from Fastly.
      • I think Digital Turbine is aware of this risk and that's why it's working hard to diversify its revenue stream by strengthening its product offerings through the acquisition of Mobile Posse and expanding internationally
    • Lastly, there's some criticism that Digital Turbine products are bloatware, and this would only be a problem if customers actually were turning away from devices because of the pre-loaded apps and home screen products Digital Turbine provides
      • Customers can always turn off any of Digital Turbine's products and delete pre-loaded apps but more often than not, customers end up utilizing the company's products in one form or another

    What I'm Doing

    • I've started a small position in the company a few weeks ago and plan to hold for the next few years
    • Valuation looks a bit overstretched so I wouldn't bet the farm on it at these prices but if the stock does have any major dips, I am going to treat them as major buying opportunities
    • Company's earnings report is on February 3rd, which will be really interesting to see what happens. Last quarter, the company reported strong earnings but the stock dropped 16% and rebounded quickly
    • If the stock dips to the $30s or $40s, that would be an ideal great time to buy

    Resources I looked at:

    TLDR: Company owns a monopoly in the Android pre-load app space with partnerships with the largest carriers and OEMs in the world not named Apple; lots of good growth prospects including its recent acquisition + international expansion. Expensive stock fundamentally right now but good one to keep an eye on if there are any major dips. Strong buy in the $30s-40s. Medium buy in the $50s. Earnings call on February 3rd should materially move the stock either up or down so will be important to pay attention to that.

    SPCE

    Posted: 25 Jan 2021 06:27 PM PST

    Okay so currently the three highest shorted stocks are: GME, SPCE, and AMC.

    Now unlike GME, SPCE has a TON of legitimate potential. They're vying to become the future of fast long-distance transportation, and are one of the most future oriented companies. Now that said they're still an extremely risky play, but they're no where near as risky as GME is.

    Could SPCE be ripe for a short-squeeze?

    What do you guys think of this play?

    Why is there a lack of quality stock research for retail investors

    Posted: 25 Jan 2021 08:29 PM PST

    Hi everyone,

    I don't know if this is the right place to post this, but here goes.

    For a little background I work as a hedge fund analyst, so researching stocks is essentially what I do on a daily basis. The discrepancy between the research and resources an institution has in comparison to a retail investor is astounding, and I was hoping I could narrow this gap. Looking around there doesn't seem to be a quality service that offers quality stock research with unbias analysis for the everyday investor. There are things like Morningstar and Zacks but they are either expensive or terrible (talking about Zacks). So I wanted to ask the community would you be willing to pay for a service that can provide high-quality research on stocks with a unbias view. Rather than paying for a subscription and not using 90% of the offered resources the investor can simply request a report for a specific stock and will only be charged for that report. Therefore you can pay for only what you want.

    My thought is I would get together a group of my hedge fund buddies who love equity research as much as an I do and we would do the analysis on a per request basis to start off.

    Let me know what you guys think? Is it something people on this forum would actually pay or am I just over-analyzing the situation?

    Posted: 26 Jan 2021 12:08 AM PST

    Hi, I have a question that I wasn't able to find the answer online. Say that I buy stock of CCIV because I believe the deal with lucid motors will go forward. What could happen in 10years? Cciv is the same has owning stock of lucid motors, or cciv can sell Lucid motors at a later date? Therefore reducing my exposure/hanging me to dry. I just want to confirm if this purchase is the same as a long term investment. Thanks

    AI could be front-running WallStreetBets

    Posted: 25 Jan 2021 10:23 AM PST

    There is an ETF that makes trades based on artificial intelligence (ticker: AIEQ). The AI combs through mountains of data (expressly including social media and regular news reporting). When I heard about it, I was originally dubious about its ability to beat a relatively efficient market based on searching through this dataset, but I was curious. So I bought a little bit when it debuted, and it didn't do much of anything, and indeed kinda underperformed so I lost patience and sold it. But I remember an AI podcast I heard that talked about machine learning and how early on (with Chess, or Go, or other tests), humans would beat the AI easily. But then over time, AI progressively learned and then became unbeatable. So I took a flyer and bought back into AIEQ in early November and continued to leg into the position, and it continues to do well. I ran a three month chart vs. SPY and Vanguard's Total Stock Index. It is beating both handily. (This is true on longer time periods also, but I didn't own it before November). Moreover, the outperformance seems to be accelerating, which could mean the AI is learning and improving as it goes.

    That outperformance raised my eyebrows, and I was surprised that this dataset had in fact yielded actionable alpha. Then I heard about wallstreetbets. And then I made the connection - AIEQ may be outperforming because it is reading all the Reddit trade discussion, and is following or perhaps even front-running those trades. If you look at AIEQ's top portfolio positions, they are full of Reddit faves like TSLA, ENPH, SPWR, AMD, ROKU, ETSY, SQ, MRNA, ZS, CRWD, PLUG, etc. I don't know if my theory is correct (the AI trading methodology is a black box), but it's certainly food for thought.

    Prospects of Intel going foward

    Posted: 25 Jan 2021 04:17 PM PST

    I'm currently interested in opening up a small position in Intel. However, it is a highly debated stock and I would like to hear corresponding arguments coming from Bull and Bear.

    Intel currently has a revenue of $80 billion which is bigger than Nvidia and AMD combined. The delays in production of newly advanced nodes is beginning to hurt Intel. Intel currently announced a new CEO to change the management around and hopefully get things back onto track. This , however, will take several quarter if not longer to implement. But Intel still has growth story in it's' datacenter and MobileEye division. What do you think of Intel as a turn around play?

    Why did I invest in battery recycling: Neometals

    Posted: 25 Jan 2021 05:26 PM PST

    Reasons why: - EV battery recycling market expected to grow 10x - inflationary env. with rising commodity prices years ahead - small cap, with promising set of projects and patents - pure play just for recycling - targeting EU markets as this will be the biggest EV market
