| Automod message failure: Last 16 hours of meme ticker comments were removed accidentally Posted: 31 Jan 2021 02:28 PM PST On Jan 31st from 00:18 to 16:44 GMT, comments that had the tickers below (including variations) were removed incorrectly.
It was a test of automod to auto remove the meme tickers from this post only. But instead I excluded that post, meaning I included every other post, oops! So far I have approved the last 4 hours worth of meme ticker comments and working on the other 12 hours since the start of the incident. What should you do? Ignore the automod message, feel free to recomment if your comment hasn't been approved yet, and always message the mods nicely because a lot of times you might be seeing an error.

| GME end financial culture: how this meme is becoming a serious thing Posted: 31 Jan 2021 12:54 AM PST It is the first time that the financial market is being used against the same monsters who bet on the failures of companies and enjoy manipulating the markets and impoverishing investors. At least, it is the first time it is happening in front of my eyes and I can actively be part of it. What is happening has become very serious, but it is experienced with that romanticism and irony that is not often seen in the world of the stock market. The thing that no one mentions, however, is the incredible contribution that the GME affair is making to global financial culture. Not only are the videos of youtubers explaining what's going on increasing exponentially, but the incredible thing is that even influencers and youtubers completely outside the stock and financial game are talking about it. The consequence of this is that a lot of people are getting informed, they are trying to understand what is happening, why it is happening, and what are the rules and mechanisms that are permitting this situation. This wave of information is spreading at lightning speed financial concepts that have always remained obscure to most people. In short, ordinary people are opening their eyes. Financial education, albeit minimal, is beginning to be part of the cultural baggage of young and old alike. And this will have huge consequences in the future. This meme, and the whole GME situation, is opening the eyes to the world. I could compare it to the boost that the first trips to the moon gave to space engineering, or the boost to Karate gyms after the success of the movie Karate Kid, or the boost to medical culture that the pandemic that's hitting us is giving. This, Be honest: who else would have had such an opportunity to use money as a tool against the powerful market manipulators without GME? This is why what is happening is not a meme anymore. The world will be different afterwards. tl;dr The GME Affair is changing the world's financial culture forever. No more financial ignorance, no more "under the mattress" investments. No more underhanded economic power plays. Edit: I am not native English speaker, and in my country "gentlemen" is an ironic way to say "my dears" without any gender reference. My apologies, I fixed it! [link] [comments]  | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 31 Jan 2021 04:56 AM PST Would presume over the last 3 to 4 years the losses of those betting against Tesla would be much higher than 38 billion. Also over the last year, anyone betting against the FAANG+M stocks would have been decimated. So why is the Popular Meme stock so important? If Apple market cap goes down 1 percent it probably same loss as the shorts had against the popular stock.

| How Hedge Funds Counterfeit Stock Posted: 31 Jan 2021 07:17 AM PST Counterfeiting stock is the single most significant fraud in the financial industry and at the source of the GME movement. A lot of the issues, naked shorts, ladder attacks and market manipulations are enabled by counterfeiting stocks. Some users are speculating that there are well in excess of 200% of GME shares which are "circulating" as counterfeit and this is why the industry is reacting so vehemently to protect this great fraud by restricting buying (brokerages) and clearing houses (who are suppose to ensure settlement of real shares) are on the hook. This resource explains PERFECTLY what is going on. We must demand change, accountability and oversight. The markets must be free. Please PIN this so the narrative shifts to uncovering the truth about the Hedge Funds illicit practices and the Department of Justice can start doing their jobs in enforcing financial crime. PLEASE SHARE... This needs more attention to cut through the misinformation. This is ALL regulators have to focus on as this is the source of the rot in society.

| Posted: 31 Jan 2021 09:56 AM PST Anyone else tired of hearing about the meme stocks? I've been following the GME squeeze since the first post months back, and at this point I'm sick and tired of hearing about short squeezes, NOK, AMC everywhere I go. Every social situation I'm in seems to involve meme stocks lately. Can we go back to normal yet? [link] [comments]  | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Are GME shares not 70% owned by financial insitutions ? Posted: 31 Jan 2021 08:19 AM PST I am a bit confused with the recent rhetoric of sticking it to the big guys wrt to GameStop. Since so many shares are owned by other financial institutions (BlackRock, Fidelity, Vanguard) what is preventing them from just selling and leaving individual investors with the bill ? Sure /r/wallstreetbets will hold but what about all those others who own a large majority of the shares ? Just curiosity here. Not trying to pick sides. Hope your weekend is going well !

| I created an algo that tracks the most hyped stocks on Reddit. Here are the results for this week Posted: 31 Jan 2021 04:32 AM PST What's up everyone. I created an algo that scans the most popular trading sub-reddits and logs the tickers mentioned in due-diligence or discussion-styled posts. Instead of scanning for how many times each ticker was mentioned in a comment, I logged how popular the post was among the sub-reddit. Essentially if it makes it to the 'hot' page then it will most likely be on this list. There are two parts to this post. The first is for posts that were submitted in the most active trading sub-reddits (such as this one), and the second part has the most mentioned tickers from the WSB sub-reddit. How can I use this list? The best way to use this data is to learn about new tickers that might be trending. As an example, I probably would have never known about the ARK etfs, or even Palantir, until they started trending on Reddit. This gives many people an opportunity to learn about these stocks and decide if they want to invest in them or not. I've displayed the most 'popular' tickers on whichever sub-reddit the post may have originated from. What I've found is that normally if tickers begin to trend on one sub-reddit then generally-speaking there will be posts for the same ticker on various other sub-reddits. Here's the data from the last week. WSB - Most Mentioned Tickers This WeekEstimated Total Comments Parsed Last 7 Day(s): 891,904 *Comment volume on GME was lower than usual because they had a separate thread specifically for GME

| Posted: 31 Jan 2021 12:25 PM PST Pardon the break from GME. Saw Squarespace filed to IPO this week, wondering anyone's thoughts? Wix, Shopify and GoDaddy all had rallies last year and I think it's looking like the website builders will all continue to do well in '21. Squarespace has reported it's already profitable and with recent acquisitions of Acuity and Unfold it looks like they're continuing to add more features for a full service solution. Pairing good fundamentals with brand recognition in the digital space amid a huge retail investor boom, I think this looks like a promising buy. Other thoughts?

| Has your opinion of CNBC changed after their coverage of the GME story? Posted: 30 Jan 2021 10:33 PM PST For several years like many pajama-bound investors, I have gotten up in the morning and turned on CNBC while setting up for my morning trades. I've always operated under the assumption that big investors run the network and are the ones with access to get invited on their shows to promote their plays. It comes with the territory knowing that every guest is on there to push an agenda, but generally, my general feeling was they aren't out to screw you over and wanted to be helpful to their viewers. When I was learning about investing, I did value a lot of the advice they give on diversification, risk, and rising trends. I've even got some massive returns from a few ideas I got solely from watching (MSTR +132% AMZN +73%, TGT +81%, NVDA +63%). Which takes us to this week where CNBC has been a constant whipping boy on r/wallstreetbets. Most of Reddit seems to completely reject CNBC's report that Melvin has closed out their short positions. If CNBC is in fact making false reports to benefit hedge funds, that is a very serious violation of trust. I'm not sure what to think at this point. Has your trust in CNBC been shaken?

| Prisoner's Dilemma - Hold $GME Posted: 31 Jan 2021 05:41 AM PST This is not financial advice. I'm not a financial advisor. These are just my opinions and do not represent the views of this community. Earlier today I tried to debunk the fUnDaMeNtAlS argument against holding shares at these new prices. Then I read this awesome post about how we're being manipulated from all sides. This made me want to come up with the simplest win strategy for every retail investor, acting on their own, no matter what bullshit comes our way over the next week or more. Yes, we've already figured out that this means to hold $GME. However, not everyone will not understand the method to our madness and chalk it up to the fact that we're just a bunch of degenerate gamblers. We need them to know why this time. Enter the $GME prisoner's dilemma game. Here's the setup. The hedgies and banks can secretly coordinate a crash without being punished. If we cooperate on a short squeeze, it is publicly visible and can result in consequences for us. Still, last week proved the fact that humans, acting individually, have a bias to cooperate on a collective good (see wiki link at start of this paragraph for source). This is our ace in the hole. The only way they can win is when we betray each other (we won't) like prisoners being pressured by cops to rat on each other in separate interrogation rooms. The cops (hedgies and banks) will try everything to manipulate, scare, sow distrust, and incentivize the prisoners (retail investors) to rat on each other. The only way the prisoners get the best outcome is if they HOLD $GME 🚀. The Nash equilibrium for this game is for the prisoners to rat on each other. That's the mathematical equilibrium/outcome. However, I'm arguing that we've demonstrated our ability to surpass that. We're using our human bias to act individually (not cooperatively) for the collective good to overcome this math. We're maximizing the collective gain, not the individual gain. This is the whole point of a short squeeze that sticks it to the hedgies. TLDR: HOLD Edit: A throw away account commented that this is sometimes called superrationality and then deleted their comment...

| GME endgame: making the shorts work for the longs Posted: 31 Jan 2021 10:26 AM PST I saw another post about how this is going to end badly for the retail investor, but maybe there is a more rosy ending for the GameStop investor. (originally written for wsb, but this is probably a better sub for a discussion) With the current share price GameStop is worth more than even the most positive DD posted here before. But that's fine, the current price not only reflects the fundamental value, also the short squeeze that is bound to happen. In the short run, the price can definitely go up, but in the long run, option pricing suggests a lower price. Retail that buys high and gets out too late will be having some losses. Only bet with what you can lose. But at this point it's not only about making a good bet. It's (also) about teaching the hedge funds a lesson. The high short float doesn't mean that not a single hedge fund has covered its short. Many have probably covered and new shorts have taken their place; leaving the short % of float more or less equal. Shorts that have covered have already eaten their loss, but new shorts are stepping in at higher and higher prices. If the price is going to fall in the long run then they still win. How to make sure those hedge funds have to eat a loss too? I am no expert in this, but I saw Marc Cuban say interest for borrowing the shares is at 30% per year. Some even mentioned 250%. As long as everybody holds their shares, hedge funds are losing 30%-250% per year on their GameStop investment. Not bad. By holding, shareholders have the upper hand and shorts are losing every single day. But, there is a risk. What if more shares were issued?
To keep the stronghold, you have to prevent GameStop management from issuing many new shares and keep major shareholders on board GameStop has to become as valuable as the current share price implies, for instance by using the 30-250% interest that hedge funds pay on borrowing shares. If this income stream can somehow be transferred to GameStop or shareholders, instead of brokers, than this may make the current share price real. I know the dream of the short squeeze is to go to infinity and bankrupting hedge funds. But who is going to pay you if they are bankrupt? If no one sells, they keep their short position and they have to pay the borrow rate that you set (maybe?). Basically you have created the goose with the golden eggs. Make them work for you. TLDR;

| Give me your best risky play (Not GME, AMC, BB, etc..) Posted: 31 Jan 2021 06:29 AM PST I'm looking for a gamble (r/stocks doesn't let you use the abbr. You Only Live Once anymore) with decent odds for after I'm done HOLDing $GME .. I'm up like 500% in a week so I sort of figure this is money I can have fun with but I don't want to throw it down the toilet, so I'm hoping someone has some solid suggestions. I was thinking maybe rolling it over into the Lucid merger but am unsure if that's legit going to happen or just part of the Reddit hype-machine that happens sometimes.

| An explanation of what caused the trading halt and a defense for small trading apps Posted: 30 Jan 2021 04:44 PM PST I can tell you right now with complete confidence that the only thing brokers who halted trading are guilty of was bad PR and nothing else. I was pissed when trading was halted, but now I'm just upset that I'm hearing people trash some trading apps which did absolutely nothing wrong and has done so much good in the past years. People are piling on, politicians from left right and center are wrapping their own agenda around it, and somehow we finally saw AOC and Ben Shapiro agree on something. People are thinking "they" control it from the top and they stopped it because they were scared of us. I can assure you none of that is true, it is conspiratorial thinking and it is all nonsense and unfounded. Wanna know why? Read on, education ahead, and it's good for you. When people in aggregate from exchange A buy 1 million dollar worth of a stock, if there's not enough people selling that stock on exchange A, that stock needs to come from exchange B. That means that 1 million needs to be transferred from exchange A to B. Money transfer is very complicated (as you've probably seen with wire transfers) and take 2 business days to clear even for the big guys. Now, what would happen if before money clears, exchange A collapses and goes bust? Exchange B is fucked. It still promised and have to give its users by law who sold those shares a 1 million dollars. Enter: Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation(DTCC) DTCC is probably the biggest bank in the world and you've never heard of it. It acts as the man in the middle insurance company of sorts, it's a self regulating private entity on wallstreet who's existence is required by law. It exists to absorb all the risk of ripple effects of an exchange going bust and impacting other exchange. They basically want to take the risk of "what if that market we're trading with doesn't pay us?" completely off a brokers book. Also note, DTCC is not just for stock brokers, it's for banks, institutional investors, hedge funds, mutual funds, all of them. In my example, DTCC fronts exchange A the cash by guaranteeing the 1 mil for exchange B. All good so far right? Well there's a small catch, DTCC needs to still protect itself from going insolvent, since it's basically the backbone of the market, their chances of going insolvent cannot be even 0.000001%. So they have this formula that calculates an upfront collateral for a particular stock. This collateral needs to be given cash to DTCC on the time of the trade. It's not speculative, it's just math and it takes a lot f factors in like the broker's finances(how much cash they got on reserve, etc.) and also factors in the stock being traded. Usually it comes down to 1-4% of the security. Say that 1 mil I mentioned earlier was all SPY stock, since it's safe and all the upfront fee is 1%. So when the 1 mil buy happens, exchange A immediately gives $10,000 to DTCC, and starts a wire of 1 million to fund B. Once the transaction clears, DTCC gives the $10,000 back. All that was happening with GameStop, but then the morning the guys got block, DTCC raised their collateral requirement for the meme stocks to 100%. Why? Well, because it's volatile as fuck and they did not like the odds of keeping it lower. We all know that this is a bubble and given that so many retail investors are buying this stock on margin at $300+ which is for sure crashing to $20, most likely in an instant, there's a solid chance some exchanges might go broke over it, so they can't insure it. Now what does this mean for exchange A? That means for every 1 million dollars of GameStop, exchange A needs to wire 1 mil to to exchange B AND immediately send another million cash to DTCC. Well now we got a sticky situation, at the current market cap, we're talking hundreds of billions (that's not a typo) that these firms need to cough up to DTCC for 2 business days! They simply don't have the money so they halted it. That's it. Then the next day they secured some loans, and managed to re offer the stocks at a limited quantity that their loans enabled them to. One small clarification, I simplified my explanation by combining clearing firms and brokerages as one entity. In reality they're usually separate(sometimes they're not, for example the popular trading app I can't name does their own clearing), the connection goes broker -> clearing firm -> DTC. Clearing firms are actually the companies that are trying to secure loans to support more, and it's the clearing firms who don't have enough money to pay DTC, so they just tell brokers "sorry, no GME, can't clear it" "Dude fuck DTCC, they're evil, they're the ones controlling from the top they should've left us be" Well last time they were too slow to raise the collateral was 2008. Lehman which was a clearing firm collapsed. Finally DTCC did what it was supposed to do! They paid out $500bn to clear all of Lehman's outstanding transactions. But that's not all, since DTCC was slow to raise their rates for certain securities at the time, they were legit at the risk of going insolvent if more banks and hedge funds collapsed. Enter Bailout, a loan to help everyone sort their shit out, clear out their transactions and not collapse. Had enough banks and hedge funds collapsed to push DTCC into insolvency, the entire United States paper market(stocks, bonds, etc.) would've collapsed(total market breakdown). Little known fact: DTCC technically owns almost all paper assets in the US, including yours and mine in a trust. Technically we are just beneficiaries of those stocks. Also, government has every right to take those away from you due to "national emergency". Fun fact eh? "DTCC is helping out their wallstreet buddies" No, they're protecting the system, they raise collateral for all ultra volatile securities. They'd do it if hedge funds were profiting too. "But why some markets did allow buying?" Well their clearing firms did, and some did their own clearing and they had enough cash to allow trading. And if you noticed, it was a ripple effect. TD was a clearing firm that was first to stop doing GME, then a bunch of brokers ran to other clearing firms, and now a clearing firm is servicing their existing brokers and all the refugees from TD, and naturally they got overloaded with GME. So they fell, and now two sets of refugees went and crash another, and eventually almost all brokers stopped offering GME and friends. "Why sell only then?" Selling doesn't require DTCC collateral, cuz a stock is going out not money. The stock is just a digital signature in DTCC's database, it ain't going anywhere, it's not gonna go insolvent. Money on the other hand is more complicated and not just a digital signature on a database, it's no guarantee you'll get it from a buyer until it's in your vaults, so you need a collateral until you get it "Why was so and so broker selling GME without my permission" Alright dude this one on you for getting a margin account, you agreed to it and all brokers do it. You know how those boomers alway tell you don't get a margin account? This is why "Why do we need DTCC anyways?" They prevent cascading failures that doomers wish for on their birthdays. If a broker goes bust, suddenly that $2bn that broker was supposed to send to some other broker goes poof, and now that other broker is in the negative and goes bust, and so do all their debts to other companies "Does DTCC raising the collateral requirement mean we were at risk of collapsing the financial system?" Yea probably, but that's why they raised the rates "Why can't markets just trade inside themselves and avoid sending money and DTCC" They still need a transaction with DTCC because you all have your own bank accounts on a brokerage and DTCC being the owner of all stock needs to know which account which stock belongs to "Wtf why does it take 2 business days to transfer money? Can't they Zelle or some shit?" It's how things work at that large of a scale, they record transactions all day, end of the day they add it all up and move the money. One day to take the money from broker the clearing house, one day to move the money from clearing house to the receiving broker. It's the same system as ACH transfers, which stands for automated clearing house "Why is DTCC private and so centralized, break it apart!"

| Looking for good stock that could explode this year Posted: 31 Jan 2021 09:55 AM PST I've been interested in stocks for over a year now so I'm fairly new at this. I wish I discovered this subreddit or WallStreetbets when I started I would've probably made more money by now if I did. I digress I'm looking for advice on potential stock that will explode or at least a steady growth this year thoughts. PS. Please don't just give me the meme sticks floating around everywhere like (GME AMC BB NOK) thank you. Also here are some of my stock I'm in AMD, Sony Square, Tesla. Let me know what you think of these stocks. Edit: for those of you saying do my own research. I'm just asking for ones that y'all think will be good. I have some stocks that I believe would be good. It's just getting other opinions. [link] [comments]  | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 31 Jan 2021 06:34 AM PST What's everyone's thoughts on AMD as a long term growth stock? After releasing their 2020 figures last week it looks like they are performing very well and they seem anything but over valued to me at their current pricing. ($85) With the 5nm Zen4 chips reportedly releasing this year that could also be another positive factor for a price rise considering their 7nm tech is far ahead of intel's which is not yet in the market, and Nvidia plan to use TSMC for their tech. AMD also plan to release a new data centre processor and are on course to take more of the data centre market. Not to mention the ongoing shortage in their Semi-conductor GPU's for Xbox and ps5. I've had it on my watchlist for a while and after the stock market volatility recently it's surely a good buy tomorrow when the markets re-open. It seems like there will be more hype around GME tomorrow so I'm expecting to see a drop in loads of stocks tomorrow. Personally, I think AMD is a solid buy but I would like to hear thoughts from other folk. [link] [comments]  | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Do you think the $GME episode can trigger a financial crisis? Posted: 31 Jan 2021 06:52 AM PST The DOW dropped around 500 points last Friday. The market is growing steadily more unstable as GME and other shorted stocks increase. Basically all green stocks have shot through the roof essentially creating a bubble (e.g. TSLA). I am strongly considering pulling out all stocks Monday to wait until the show has passed as I feel the urge to avoid the unstable / unforeseeable future of the market at this point.

| Jim Cramer Gave an Interview in 2006 on how the Hedge Funds Manipulate the Markets Posted: 30 Jan 2021 07:18 PM PST If people are wondering about the cause of the pent up anger amongst retail investors that is seemingly being played out in the current market, look no further than an interview from 2006 with Jim Cramer (who was the manager of his very own hedge fund from 1987-2001). Regular people have long suspected that they don't get to play by the "rules" that other players in the market do. They're angry, they remember major life changing events like the crash of 2008 and how the people responsible weren't punished, and now they're looking to fight back. Reuters Article on the Interview "What's important when you're in that hedge fund mode, is to not do anything remotely truthful. Because the truth is so against your view, that it's important to create a new view, to create a fiction." "Then you call the (Wall Street) Journal and get the bozo reporter in Research in Motion and you would feed that (rival) Palm's got a killer it's going to give away. These are all the things you must do on a day like today, and if you're not doing it, maybe you shouldn't be in the game." "It might cost me $15 million or $20 million to knock RIM down but it would be fabulous because it would beleaguer all the moron longs who are also keying on Research in Motion." "A lot of times when I was short at my hedge fund ... meaning I needed (a stock) down, I would create a level of activity beforehand that could drive the futures. It's a fun game and it's a lucrative game." "Who cares about the fundamentals? The great thing about the market is that it has nothing to do with the actual stocks." - Jim Cramer, Dec 2006 Dealbook NY Times Article on the Interview Investopedia Article: Short and Distort Bear Market Stock Manipulation) [link] [comments]  | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Short term investing next week in the volatile meme stocks Posted: 31 Jan 2021 08:04 AM PST You can ignore the $GME explanation unless you feel strongly about it, I'm not as interested In that case as I am the others, I've read countless articles on it and still don't feel like I understand it very well so I'm wary of getting involved. I'm more interested in the short/medium term possible outcomes of the other stocks like AMC, BB, NOK, etc. I realize their situations are different where their floats are considerably less, etc. I feel they are safer because I'm not looking for "+1800%" gains or anything of the sort and in the event of a dip or "crash" their price is not expected to tank to the same extent as GME which is astronomically inflated due to what's currently going on. As I see it there's less risk and less reward and there's also the potential long on these stocks if there is not satisfactory short term gains. So my question is, I already have a few hundred in AMC stock from around $13/share buy in. At opening Monday if/when some of these stocks take a dip from the weekend orders I plan to potentially invest up to another $1000. Where might this money best be spent? I'm not part of the group that believes GMB $1000+ or AMC $40+ etc. My optimistic expectations are probably half that. For someone wanting to turn say 120-150% profit ideally and "minimize risk" (I'm fully aware I can lose all of this money and that's okay, but I'd rather lose some and have to go long on a lesser stock than lose every penny on GMB) which of the others is likely my best bet?

| STPK is a disruptive smart energy storage play that is poised to soar in the LT. Posted: 31 Jan 2021 10:29 AM PST To summarize, Stem (STPK) is a leading smart energy storage company that offers one stop solutions of integrated battery storage systems, network integration, and battery optimization via its proprietary AI-driven software platform called Athena. Stem helps corporate customers lower energy costs, stabilize the grid, and reduce carbon emissions. Energy storage is an important key to the build out of renewable generation and the market represents a $1.2 trillion opportunity through 2050. Stem addresses batteries but not for EVs. Instead, Stem's storage is for utilities . The electricity stored in Stem batteries can be be used to generate electricity on demand—like any other power plant. Many solar installations, for instance, now come with battery storage so they can provide power when the sun isn't shining. Stem's Athena software platform is especially taking energy storage/management to a whole new level with 24 patents already granted covering the software. Williams Trading analyst Sean Milligan called Stem a "pure play virtual power plant provider with SaaS leverage." A majority of new power installations now come from renewable sources. As the electricity grid evolves, there will be a need for systems to store and manage solar and wind-generated electricity. There is a growing demand for Stem's technology. "The [energy] grid is getting decentralized, digitized, decarbonized and democratized," CEO John Carrington told Barron's in a recent interview. "Complexity is everywhere. You need good software." Just a month after merger with STPK was announced, Stem already revised the 2020 revenue guidance to be 7.5% to 10% above previous guidance. Furthermore, Stem's 2021 projected revenue is now 100% covered by contracted backlog! Revenue is projected to grow at 51% CAGR thru 2026. $525 million cash will be retained to support future growth with no debt on the b/s post merger. Stem's existing shareholders will roll over 100% of their equity post merger (48% performa ownership). Meanwhile, public shareholders will own 28.3% post merger. That's a decent percentage. Stem is valued at under $4 billion at current price pt. (proforma $135.4 million shares) which is relatively cheap compared to other EV/clean energy SPACs out there. Bottom line is that Stem is a disruptive company servicing a rapidly growing market and is poised to thrive under the Biden administration which will aggressively push for transition to clean energy. I'm very confident that STPK will spike this year and even this quarter. PS: if people are evaluating a S P A C based on whether or not the share price is close to NAV. They should re-think their analysis on fundamentals. You have to take into account of proforma o/s shares, proforma EV (vs. comps), public ownership post-merger, existing management rollover, PIPE, Sponsor strengths, revenue visibility, growth expectations (top line and CF and whether or not they are reasonable), industry/competition,etc. [link] [comments]  | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 31 Jan 2021 10:25 AM PST Looking to buy GME on Monday if it dips and was wondering if RH is still allowing purchases of that stock because I don't want to miss out on this. I'd switch brokerage apps but my investments are in RH right now and don't want to make the transfer to TD/Fidelity the day before the market opens again.

| Is it advisable to place an order before market opens? Posted: 31 Jan 2021 11:59 AM PST Hey there, I have no idea about stocks but have been following the GME situation since it became mainstream. Of course I am not going to get heavily involved in something that I dont fully understand but thought it could be fun to "invest" a very small amount of money. Just to feel part of it. I want to buy a fractional share (like 100$) and I'm using Revolut. It says I would be buying something like 0.3 of a share, which is okey. But the market is closed, of course, should I wait for it to open and see the "new" value before placing the order? I am simply assuming it takes some time for the app to execute your order when the market opens, and maybe the value will skyrocket and I will get like 0.05 of a share or something. Does it work like that? You are probably sick of these noob questions, so sorry in advance. Its not a lot of money but maybe Im just making some huge noobie mistake. Thanks a lot guys!

| Posted: 31 Jan 2021 02:07 PM PST With the madness going on in the past few days I bought a few shares of NAKD on Thursday when it seemed to be going up but it's only been down. I bought them at 2.45 and it's been mostly under 1 ever since. I'm just curious since I'm just new to investing, is there any hope in it or should I just sell and focus on other stocks ? Thank you in advance [link] [comments]  |
