    Enjoy your green energy gains! With Blue's victory of senate approaching, do you think we'll see a significant surge in green energy? 2020 saw a nearly 140% increase in price, how do you think 2021 will pan out?

    For UK/Euro investors: Looks like $INRG might be the fund you're looking for, this fund shares many of the same holdings. Hope this was helpful :)

    The New York Stock Exchange will delist three Chinese telecommunication giants after all.

    The stock exchange will remove U.S.-traded shares of China Telecom, China Mobile and China Unicom from the Big Board, the NYSE said Wednesday.

    Last week, the NYSE said it would delist the shares to comply with an executive order signed by President Donald Trump. The order sought to bar American companies and individuals from investing in firms that the administration alleged aid the Chinese military.

    It then reversed that decision on Monday, causing much confusion.

    Tesla short sellers lost $40 billion in 2020. Elon Musk made more than triple that

    Posted: 06 Jan 2021 06:46 AM PST

    https://www.cnn.com/2021/01/06/investing/tesla-shorts-losses-elon-musk-win/index.html

    In fact, the losses endured by Tesla shorts were more than the short losses for the next nine companies -- combined. Losses on No. 2 Apple (AAPL) in 2020 came to $6.7 billion, which is only slightly more than Tesla shorts lost in the month of December alone. Amazon (AMZN) cost the shorts $5.8 billion, according to S3.

    Many of the shorts were forced to admit defeat last year. About two-thirds of the short positions were unwound during 2020, which in itself was a factor that helped drive Tesla shares higher, as the short investors were forced to buy higher-priced shares to exit their positions.

    But the year ended with short investors still holding roughly 5.5% of Tesla's shares, which equates to a $31 billion bet against the company's future prospects. For comparison, there is $13.3 billion and $10.2 billion currently bet against Apple and Amazon respectively, with shorts controlling less than 1% of each of those companies' stocks.

    Just a reminder to please take investment advice from social media with a grain of salt... there's a disturbing trend with "TikTok Investors" offering risky advice, especially now trying to capitalize on recent stimulus checks

    Posted: 06 Jan 2021 12:32 PM PST

    I saw this twitter account @TikTokInvestors where they screen cap some highly cringey stock "gurus" on Tiktok (aka Fintok) giving some crazy advice (Article on all of this in case you do not want to put yourself through some painful TikToks).

    Just a reminder to take investment advice from social media with a grain of salt. Except for mine, NIO to the moon! /s

    For example,"Index Funds SUCK, buy my portfolio instead". Most of it is just people talking into their cameras boasting high returns and advertising a paid "class" of their's where you can learn their secrets, or just risky as hell advice like "IPO's can only go up" so you should invest in Doordash

    Especially with the stimulus package, there's some very predatory videos claiming you should use that $600 "stimmy" and get RICH QUICK like them by investing in their specific stock portfolio that is GUARANTEED to go up (because past performance = guarantees right?).

    I'd hope that no one in their right mind would listen to this shit but there is a massive audience on Tiktok that this sort of misinformation is targeted at, ie. GenZ/young investors that may only know of the stock market as of 2020. From the article I posted at the beginning on these tiktok investors:

    "You've only been investing since April and have only seen a bull market since then," they added. "Because you're talking about money, you have hundreds of thousands following you because everyone wants to make money. You get this power very quickly... Nobody is going to call them out on their bulls***."

    Take, for example, @kriskrohn. Kris Krohn is a Gary Vee-style motivational speaker who offers mentorships on real estate investing.

    On TikTok, he recommends that followers forgo investing via a 401(k), calling the accounts, "fake funny money," that you "can't use" and "can't invest." Instead, he advocates that his 250,000 followers invest in real estate.

    Here's the rub: Krohn was the subject of a 2012 Securities and Exchange Commission complaint for fraudulently offering and selling real estate investments. The court ruled in the SEC's favor, and Krohn had to pay a $75,000 fine. He did not return a phone call and email seeking comment.

    If these financial moguls were so filthy rich from their investments, why are they selling a class for a fee? They could easily make exponentially more by simply using their secret strategies and investing more rather than spend their time getting $20 from a teenager on tiktok...unless that's how they actually make money??

    They are snake oil salesmen repackaged to target younger generations. Don't fall for it kids.

    How the hell do people discover companies before they explode?

    Posted: 05 Jan 2021 11:30 PM PST

    I feel like people get so lucky with companies like tesla and Amazon. How do people find such heavy hitters early on? I mean when a company is really grinding and using paper desks.

    Also, I would love if some of you could post some links to learning more about stocks as a whole.

    Why is no one talking about CLSK?

    Posted: 06 Jan 2021 07:20 AM PST

    CLSK (cleanspark) has been killing it recently. In the last month, the stock has gone up $21 (176%) and reached a 52 week high TWICE in the last week. I stupidly bought just one share, but it's already given me $14 in profit. It has already gone up $5.40 today alone, I haven't done much DD on this stock but anyone know why it's been absolutely rocketing without anyone talking about it? And with it going up, should I buy more of it?

    edit: share, not stock

    Cybersecurity stocks moving into 2021 and beyond...

    Posted: 06 Jan 2021 08:59 AM PST

    I'm wondering what the general consensus is for the $CIBR ETF around here. I saw Jim Cramer pump it a couple days ago and I like the sector but find it tough to know who are going to be the winners.

    Are people still into $CRWD or $NET at this point for the next 3-5 years?

    Friends keep mentioning trading as a "Career"

    Posted: 06 Jan 2021 12:30 AM PST

    I keep hearing a few friends who recently started investing (no more than a year or two) and they keep saying they want to be able to quit their job and survive on stocks. They spend countless hours reading news headlines and looking at mostly irrelevant graphs for trends to try and time things. They seem to have this idea that by investing $20-30k a year they can turn it into $150k+ consistently. You know the type.

    Are these people insane? What does it take to make them realize wealth is grown over time, not in a few large plays. And that timing anything is risky? How do you deal with your friends getting sucked in, or becoming addicted to stocks? Any rules you have in place for yourself to help?

    New Year, new mindset. I’m looking at you beginners.

    Posted: 05 Jan 2021 07:08 PM PST

    Best time to invest was yesterday

    List in no particular order. Hope this helps.

    1. Stop trying to time the market. Time in the market beats timing the market.

    2. Owning fractional is perfectly fine. How many shares you own is irrelevant.

    3. Buy on a schedule, you can't time the market.

    4. If you don't have an individual stock to contribute to, hold cash for an opportunity or keep contributing to your ETFs.

    5. Stop asking us for individual stocks suggest. You wont know when to get out or why you actually own it. Own what you know.

    6. Stay away from penny stocks. It's high risk you're not ready for it.

    7. It's ok to have a collection of ETFs vs owning individual stocks.

    8. Don't track dollar amount but what your % return is. You get out what you put in. It's all relative to % of movement.

    9. Have an exit plan for individual stocks.

    10. Stop saying "I know it's not much" it's something and it will grow. By investing when you're under 30 you're doing yourself a huge favor later in life than you know and way ahead of your generation or even your parents.

    11. Patience, Patience, Patience

    12. Understand what your stock allocation % of each security takes up of your net worth.

    13. Do your research DD = due diligence

    14. Not a single person knows what's going to happen to the market if they say they do, walk away.

    15. YouTube! Learn but check the credentials of said creator first. There are plenty of certified individuals teaching.

    16. Ask for book's recommendations.

    17. Taxes and how they apply to your income, dividends, special dividends.

    18. Your wealth is in your hands not anyone else.

    TAN and other clean energy stock moving up big this evening premarket

    Posted: 06 Jan 2021 02:04 AM PST

    If you're following, I've check my clean efts and stocks,

    ICLN, LIT,LAC, SEDG all moving up pre market.

    I can only assume this is the start of a greater shift towards green stocks after the election, but I'm just a plumber, so it could be noise.

    Anyone seeing this crazy run up after dip on QS?

    Posted: 06 Jan 2021 09:27 AM PST

    QS has gone up basically 20% every day since it dipped, a lot of people bashed on it and said they would buy when it hits 30 it went from 40 to 79 in 2 days. Could this keep going up past it's price before the dip? This is nuts

    Is MSFT still worth holding?

    Posted: 06 Jan 2021 07:50 AM PST

    I have 10 shares of MSFT that I paid 190 for. Everyone has said to hold and I'm just watching it do nothing for several months while other stocks blow up.

    Thinking of selling and splitting between ARKK and ICLN.

    What are people's feelings on MSFT long term? Bail and reinvest or hold indefinitely?

    Edit: Thanks for the input everyone :) I'm deciding to hold MSFT indefinitely.

    Better buy? [BETZ vs. DKNG] [JETS vs. LUV] [MGM vs. CZR]

    Posted: 06 Jan 2021 09:52 AM PST

    When it comes to ETF's vs Stocks which would be the better buy between these pairs. I own positions in all but would like to just choose one and increase my position in them. Right now I'm about 50/50 in each.

    [BETZ vs. DKNG]

    BETZ has DKNG and PENN but in small percentages (~5%) so a big rise in DKNG would not show very well in the ETF but it is less volatile in the end. I so see DKNG being a leader in the field but the ETF has more diversity in the whole online gambling sector.

    [JETS vs. LUV]

    JETS has a large stake in LUV with around 10% which is nice and the second biggest being DAL at around 9%. Both really good companies so I can see JETS increasing nicely once things get back to normal. However there are many other airlines in there that aren't as good and may not be around if the pandemic continues. LUV is awesome with domestic travel and I believe that is what everyone will be doing once the pandemic ends but who knows. They also have a great balance sheet same with DAL.

    [MGM vs. CZR]

    MGM has its online sports booking (Betmgm) but also owns a ton of the Las Vegas strip. Growth potential is huge when things get back to normal and people flood to Las Vegas. I feel the same way about CZR but after they merged with El Dorado they've had a pretty good run but could definitely go higher. I'd rather remove one and put it in the other.

    Any Thoughts?

    Potential upcoming market correction?

    Posted: 06 Jan 2021 10:16 AM PST

    Wanted to get opinions on this? Market has been killing it. At some point there is going to have to be a correction. How much do people anticipate it will be? 10%, 20%?

    My thoughts are that it's better to wait for the dip and buy in more than take money out in anticipation that a correction may be looming around the corner?

    Thoughts? Try to sell somewhat soonish to lock in a good bull run? Or let it ride, save money and buy in more whenever the correction comes?

    If Dems Win Georgia, Cannabis Stocks Likely To Rise Significantly During Biden’s Presidency

    Posted: 06 Jan 2021 08:37 AM PST

    Investor Impact: Two areas in which investors could see a positive impact from a Democratic victory could be cannabis stocks and clean energy stocks. Cantor Fitzgerald analyst Pablo Zuanic said Democratic control of the Senate could be a "game changer" for cannabis stocks.

    "We go from speculating what President-elect Biden could have done for cannabis reform via Executive Order (or by directives/'memos' from his incoming Attorney General) and if the Senate would have held a vote on the SAFE act (banking reform) would have even taken a vote, to a new world, in which the question is more about the timing and scope of much broader reform for the cannabis industry," Zuanic wrote in a note this week.

    How Democrat Controlled Senate will effect market in 2021

    Posted: 05 Jan 2021 08:29 PM PST

    Looks like a certainty at this point that the senate will flip blue, but with a slim 51-50 majority. The general consensus is that the stock market loves gridlock, but the President, Senate and House will all be blue.

    Do you see this effecting the market negatively overall?

    Will the expected increase in stimulus in a democrat led congress cause the market to shoot up?

    I see this as a positive either way for clean energy, EV, and infrastructure plays
