    Palantir releases information on Project Gotham Titan

    Posted: 02 Jan 2021 07:54 AM PST

    https://www.palantir.com/palantir-gotham/titan/

    I don't really understand what it does but I'm assuming it has something to do with batman and attack on titan.

    Anyways, more confirmation that skynet is being deployed. They will showcase their technology on Jan 26th, I suspect this will be a black turtle neck level event. Bullish.

    Aren't you guys ever worried that you're the Shoeshiner?

    Posted: 02 Jan 2021 09:36 AM PST

    I think about Joseph Kennedys famous Shoe shiner line a lot, granted it was probably him just covering for insider trading, the sentiment still remains. The thing I worry about often is: am I the shoe shiner? Is my involvement in this market indicative of something bad? Im 26, no schooling on this, I just google and research stuff independently. Maybe its a bad sign that Im involved.

    ​

    I guess the major discussion points I intended for this thread are this: How do you not become the Shoeshiner?

    How do you separate yourself from an average trader and gain that edge?

    Now is the time to take on risk.

    Posted: 01 Jan 2021 02:42 PM PST

    This period of uncertainty is a blessing for those of us with a few years before cashing in the chips. There are so many areas of opportunity. I'm a Nasdaq 100 man at heart but I can't ignore the easy money to be made in 2021 in Psychedelics, Cannabis and Genomics. What lottery tickets are you buying this year?

    Top 10 Stocks for Roth

    Posted: 02 Jan 2021 08:37 AM PST

    What would be your top 10 stocks in a Roth IRA if you were fresh outta college today and have a job in your field (let's say you are about 22-24 years old and can max out the contribution limit of $6,000/year). My rationale is to pick market leaders in their TAM and are disruptive to the norm of conventional business.

    This would be my top 10:

    1. Tesla
    2. Mecardo Libre
    3. Shopify
    4. The Trade Desk
    5. CRISPR (or ARKG)
    6. Nvidia
    7. Square
    8. Alibaba (or Teladoc)
    9. Microsoft
    10. Apple

    I do not see a point in dividend stocks like PG, Coke, Caterpillar, etc. when you are young and have 30+ years for these stocks to grow and go through their ups and downs. My plan is to let these positions grow and then cash out when I retire and invest in safe dividend stocks for income.

    If my rationale is twisted or wrong in any way please let me know. I am open to criticism.

    ICLN Going up? Biden set to supercharge clean energy push with $40B stash

    Posted: 02 Jan 2021 10:13 AM PST

    I'm dumb. Does anyone know if this is great news for ICLN?

    Source: https://www.politico.com/news/2021/01/01/biden-clean-energy-453171

    Also, important to note from the article: "The $40 billion in DOE loan guarantee money is just a small fraction of the trillions of dollars needed to meet Biden's goals of achieving net-zero emissions on the power grid by 2035 and economy-wide by 2050."

    Do you see continued growth for Tesla in 2021?

    Posted: 02 Jan 2021 04:23 AM PST

    They just undercut China with their vehicles so to me that's saying they're in it to win. NIO may be a strong competitor someday but I have full confidence Musk will out maneuver them. Now it's 2021 do you see growth in Tesla this year? Maybe not as crazy as this year but I think it's a safe bet to think so. What do you think?

    NNDM & 2021

    Posted: 02 Jan 2021 12:31 PM PST

    So, NNDM has been showing a lot of potential in 2020. They had a halt in 2020 sales because of the pandemic, but they still got ARK Invest interest and investment. The x6 growth they had this year got a lot of YouTubers interest, and sort of helped it grows as well, were the reason for me to hesitant investing in the company... until I saw this interview with the CEO (Look on YouTube, I can't post any links)

    So now, in thinking, wow... this Is a good opportunity.

    US has been talking about IP stolen by Chinese companies. So more investment in internal R&D trend will start. (once covid pass, this type of R&D is done in person)

    3D has been on the rise for years and keep going. I'm thinking of custom gamers computer on demand shops.

    The space industry is exploding, and NNDM printers can work in space!

    They have requiring revenue from selling materials and services. This is going to keep growing YoY.

    They have government and private customers.

    They have over $400M in cash with no debt & just over 50 employees.

    They don't have competition that as big as then, and the CEO said they about to buy them.

    And my biggest one of all is the YouTube hype on top of all of that, it's like TSLA... so every time they will buy a competitor. ARK will buy. YouTube will report, the market will follow. So I decided to go all-in (well, 20% of my portfolio) and buy their stock on Monday.

    I will have a 30% stop loss to tolerate any major market swings, this is an election year... but also as the max, I'm willing to lose "Realistically. I believe they will go to $40 by the end of the year. So about 300% growth.

    The only downside I have right now is that this will go back to $3 once the hype is over (mainly if they won't buy a competitor in Q1)

    So Tm here to ask for your opinion. Why shouldn't I buy NNDM?

    I'm Interest to hear from people who don't own the stock and researched it or if you own it but hesitant to buy more...

    Wall Street Week Ahead for the trading week beginning January 4th, 2021 (Happy New Year r/stocks!)

    Posted: 02 Jan 2021 08:40 AM PST

    Good Saturday morning to all of you here on r/stocks. Happy New Year! I hope everyone on this sub made out pretty nicely in the market this past week, and is ready for the new trading week, month and year ahead.

    Here is everything you need to know to get you ready for the trading week beginning January 4th, 2021.

    Politics will be front and center as a catalyst in the first week of the new year - (Source)

    Stocks exit 2020 with strong gains and are riding a tailwind, but already in the dawn of the new year, the market could face its first big challenge.

    The final outcome of the 2020 election plays out Tuesday, when voters in Georgia will pick their senators and decide which party controls the U.S. Senate.

    With President-elect Joe Biden heading to the White House and a Democratic-controlled House of Representatives, Wall Street has been comfortable with the view that Biden and the Democrats could not succeed with tax hikes and more progressive policy changes while Republicans hold the Senate.

    The runoff election for the two Senate seats Tuesday is widely expected to result in one or both of the incumbent Republican senators retaining their seats. But Democrats are close in the polls and should they win, each party would have 50 seats with Vice President-elect Kamala Harris the tie breaker.

    "Georgia is the most important thing to the Biden presidency for the next two years," said Ed Mills, Washington policy analyst at Raymond James. "It's going to determine what is the legislative agenda and who can get confirmed by the United States Senate."

    Sen. David Perdue is being challenged by Democrat Jon Ossoff, while GOP Sen. Kelly Loeffler is running against Democrat Raphael Warnock. None of the candidates had more than 50% of the vote in the Nov. 3 election, so Georgia law requires a runoff election between the two leading candidates for each seat.

    "It's a binary event," said Mills, adding it's of growing interest to markets. "The general sense for the market is that Republicans are well positioned to maintain their majority in the Senate. But I think the 2020 election as well as the 2016 election and to some extent, the 2018 election has humbled us … The Senate outcomes, in particular, seem to be less predictable than almost any other elections."

    Mills said the results may take several days to determine, adding to the uncertainty the event could hold for markets. According to an RBC investor survey, 88% expect Republicans to maintain control, and most say that is a positive for the stock market.

    "The market tends to shoot first and ask questions later. There will certainly be a reaction if Democrats win both those seats," said Peter Boockvar, chief investment officer at Bleakley Advisory Group. Strategists say there could be a relief rally if Republican incumbents see a clear victory.

    "That totally dominates [trading] because it's about do we have status quo or do we have Democrats controlling all parts of Washington and what that means for spending and taxes," Boockvar said. "I think you could see the worries about taxes overwhelming any thoughts on the benefits of more spending" by Democrats.

    By the numbers

    A year of extreme volatility ended with a big win for stocks, as the pandemic steered the course for markets. The S&P 500 was up 16.3% for the year, ending at 3,756. That gain comes after a 34% decline early in the year, followed by a powerful more-than 65% rebound. Technology was the big winner for the year, and the Nasdaq was up 43.6% at 12,888.

    Besides the runoff vote, the market will be watching a stream of data in the coming week, including the important December jobs report Friday. That could show fewer than 100,000 jobs were added as the spreading virus impacted hiring and layoffs. There were 245,000 jobs created in November.

    There is also ISM manufacturing data Tuesday, and a number of Fed speakers, including Vice Chairman Richard Clarida on Friday.

    The virus itself could also be a factor for stocks.

    Conventional wisdom for the coming year has been that vaccines will be widely distributed, and by the second half things will start to get back to normal and the economy will pick up. But the initial distribution has been slow, and far short of the 20 million targeted for December by President Donald Trump's task force.

    In that recent RBC survey, three quarters of investors were optimistic about vaccine distribution with 80% expecting a majority to be vaccinated by the end of 2021. "We suspect that the positive outlook for the stock market and the economy would deteriorate if expectations for a smooth vaccine rollout are not met," RBC strategists wrote.

    They also noted that nearly 60% of the investors surveyed believe high stock market valuations are problematic.

    "This suggests to us that any threat to the economic and earnings recovery story could spark profit-taking. On this point, it is worth noting that the vaccine was the No. 1 issue keeping investors up at night, closely followed by monetary policy and excessive optimism on the recovery," the strategists noted.

    Chris Rupkey, chief financial economist at MUFG Union Bank, said investors will also be watching the formal acceptance of the Electoral College vote Wednesday. Strategists expect the vote count to confirm Biden's presidency.

    However, Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley says he will challenge the certification, and several House Republicans have already vowed to contest the election at that time. If one House member and a senator jointly object to a state's slate of electors, the two houses of Congress must separately debate and vote on the objection.

    Strategists see little chance of any impact on the election outcome, but there could be fireworks. Trump has been claiming since the election that there was fraud but multiple courts failed to find any truth to the claims.

    Rupkey said investors are not taking into account enough potential for political risk from the deep animosity between the two political parties.

    "I think the additional stimulus and hopes for additional stimulus, and infrastructure spending in 2021, I don't know that that is such a slam dunk, because of the issue of political instability," he said.

    Why A Year-End Rally Bodes Well For 2021

    Welcome to the last day of 2020! It has been a devastating year in so many ways, yet for investors it has been quite rewarding. Much of the gains in 2020 have taken place the final two months, with the S&P 500 Index up more than 14% in November and December so far, the best end to a year since WWII.

    A big end of year rally could have bulls smiling in 2021. "Turns out a 10% or more gain the final two months of the year has equaled a higher S&P 500 the following year every single time since World War II," explained LPL Financial Chief Market Strategist Ryan Detrick. "In fact, January was also higher every single time as well, so maybe this strong rally to end the year is a clue for higher prices into next year."

    As shown in the LPL Chart of the Day, the S&P 500 gained an average of more than 18% the year following a 10% or more surge during the final two months of the year. Meanwhile, January was up 5 for 5 as well, rising an impressive 3% on average.

    (CLICK HERE FOR THE CHART!)

    Here's what the average year looks like after the prior year gains 10% or more the final two months compared to a typical year. Once again, strong returns are the playbook historically.

    (CLICK HERE FOR THE CHART!)

    We wish everyone a happy and safe New Years Eve and we'll see you in 2021!

    Fifty to Zero in 283 Days

    In a year with some pretty crazy charts, the one below is right up there with some of the best. After all the markets have been through this year, bot the S&P 500 and Long-Term Treasuries have seen nearly identical returns on a total return basis. That's right, with just a few hours left in the trading year, the S&P 500's total return in 2020 has been a gain of 17.6%, while Long Term US Treasuries, as measured by the B of A Merrill Lynch Long-Term Treasury Index has rallied 17.3%. What makes this nearly identical performance all the more incredible is that on March 23rd, the performance gap between the two was more than 50 percentage points.

    (CLICK HERE FOR THE CHART!)

    The fact that stocks and bonds have essentially seen identical returns this year isn't typical. The chart below shows the annual performance spread between the S&P 500 and long-term US Treasuries going back to 1978. During that time, the S&P 500 has historically outperformed long-term US Treasuries by an average of 3.9 percentage points per year, but the average gap in performance between the two has been over 15 percentage points. In the 43 years since 1978, there have only been seven other years where the performance spread between the two asset classes was less than five percentage points and just two years (1985 and 1992) where the performance spread was less than a percentage point.

    (CLICK HERE FOR THE CHART!)

    Back-to-Back Big Years for Technology

    With just two trading days (including today) left in 2020, the S&P 500 Technology sector is on pace for its second year in a row of rallying more than 40%. Going back to 1990, the only time the Technology sector experienced back-to-back returns of more than 40% was in 1998 and 1999. Back then, not only was the Technology sector up 40%+ in back-to-back years, but it was also up over 75% in both of those years. If you think markets are pretty crazy these days, they still have nothing on the last two years of the 1990s!

    In terms of cumulative returns, the Technology sector is up 210% since the last trading day of 2018, whereas in 1999 it was up 317% in a two-year span. What's also interesting to note about the last 31 years of returns for the Technology sector is how it has only experienced five down years, while the S&P 500 has been down in ten different years during that span. Furthermore, since 2009 there has only been one down year and the decline was a paltry 1.6%. Not a bad 12-year run!

    (CLICK HERE FOR THE CHART!)

    Given that the sector has more than doubled in the last two years, there have been some big individual winners. Topping the list with a gain of just under 400% is Advanced Micro Devices (AMD). On the last day of 2018, AMD traded hands for under $20 per share. Today's it's over $90. AMD has a lead of more than 100 percentage points over the next closest stock - NVIDIA (NVDA) - which is up 288%. Interestingly, there aren't a lot of major outliers to the upside compared to the sector's 210% gain, but that's because Apple (AAPL), the sector's largest stock, has paced the sector's gains by rallying more than 240%.

    On the downside, just four stocks in the Technology sector have declined in the last two years. The worst of these has been DXC Technology (DXC) which has lost more than half of its value, while Juniper (JNPR) and HP Enterprise (HPE) are down between 10% and 20%. Lastly, FLIR Systems (FLIR) has declined less than 2%, so depending on how it acts in the next two days, it could move into positive territory just as Intel (INTC) did yesterday after Third Point bailed it out and moved the stock barely into positive territory for the last two years.

    Growth Dragging on Small Caps

    In the past couple of weeks, we have frequently been keeping tabs on small-cap equities which have been particularly strong performers of late resulting in very overbought readings as well as extended valuations. More specifically, taking a look at growth-oriented small-caps, with only a couple days left in the year small-cap growth stocks—proxied by the Russell 2000 Growth ETF (IWO)—are on pace to have outperformed large-cap equivalents in 2020. On December 10th, IWO surpassed the S&P 500 Growth ETF (IVW) in terms of YTD performance, and even after pulling back in the past week, IWO is still in the lead.

    (CLICK HERE FOR THE CHART!)

    As a result of recent moves, there has been a sharp reversal on a relative basis between the two ETFs in the past week. In the chart below, we show the ratio of the Russell 2000 Growth ETF (IWO) versus the S&P 500 Growth ETF (IVW). This ratio took off beginning in the early fall meaning small-cap growth drastically outperformed large-cap growth. But the former's weakness in the past several days has put a halt to that move.

    (CLICK HERE FOR THE CHART!)

    As to just how sharp of a reversal this was, in the five days through yesterday's close, the decline in the ratio of IWO to IVW was the largest since June. Before that, April and March saw declines that were even larger. Not only was this one of the biggest drops in the relative performance of small-cap growth to large-cap growth in the past few months, but that also stands in the bottom 0.5% of all readings going back to 2000 when the ETF first began trading. Outside of this past spring, the only other periods that have also experienced this type of underperformance of small-cap growth relative to large-cap growth was at various points in 2011, 2008, and a handful of times in the early 2000s.

    (CLICK HERE FOR THE CHART!)

    Small-cap underperformance has not necessarily been broad though. For value stocks, small caps (IWN) have generally outperformed large caps (IVE) for the entirety of the new bull market. While there was a bit of a turn lower in recent days, it has been nowhere close to as dramatic of a move as growth stocks.

    (CLICK HERE FOR THE CHART!)

    In the charts below, we show average performance over the past week of Russell 2000 stocks broken into deciles based on their price to sales and price to book ratios. As shown, the most aggressively valued deciles have averaged the worst performance in the past week. Stocks with low P/S and P/B ratios have not been immune from the weakness, but they have held up significantly better.

    I just don't see the hype in BB (Blackberry)

    Posted: 02 Jan 2021 11:39 AM PST

    They have SO much going for them in terms of market stability, margins, and recent partnerships. And with current events (the Russian hack on the Pentagon), it seems like a no-brainer. But then I look at their chart (5yr) and it just looks so... low energy. It seems like so much potential put into the hands of snails. I literally would have made more money investing in a bond than BB stock 2 years ago.

    Can anyone explain why it should be any different now? A lot of analyst are saying they're undervalued.

    Hesitant to buy stock in well known companies

    Posted: 02 Jan 2021 11:34 AM PST

    I'm hesitant to buy stock in well known companies like Apple, Disney and Tesla. I see that the stock is the highest it's ever been and worry about buying at the peak. I'm always looking for that future Tesla still priced reasonably. I'm fairly new to investing. Any advice on this?

    $TSLA mania reached a new record

    Posted: 02 Jan 2021 11:02 AM PST

    In Elon Musk own (optimistic) view: "Musk wants Tesla to sell 20M vehicles per year IN 10 YEARS"

    Ford, GM and Toyota combined sell 23M cars/year NOW.

    $F, $GM and $TM combined market cap is $335m - HALF of the $TSLA market cap.

    Even WITH that growth, the valuation is insane.

    Which one of the big tech companies to invest in 2021?

    Posted: 02 Jan 2021 08:17 AM PST

    I just started investing a few months ago after being left unemployed bc of the pandemic in March. I read books, watched videos, and learned a lot before I started in September.

    I noticed recently that too much of my portfolio is invested in either new companies, stocks that were hit by Covid and I thought would bounce back (which most of them did) and recently IPO'd companies. I want to lower my risk a little bit and start investing (DCAing) in big tech companies/ETFs that have been around for a while but still have a lot of room for growth in the next year or two.

    Thanks to anyone reading this for a great sub and for taking the time to explain and be nice to newbies!

    Canadian investor

    Posted: 02 Jan 2021 11:56 AM PST

    Hey everyone, as a Canadian investor who heavily buys American stocks. How can I benefit from the expected American inflation in the coming year ?? I imagine the feds actions over the covid pandemic will eventually start to create inflation and thus a weaker USD.

    Are there any industries or asset classes that will see increases with a devalued US dollar ? How would this affect my returns. As long as the Cdn rises against the American, would it hinder or help my returns ?

    Thoughts opinions ? Thanks !

    So You Want To Be A Trader in 2021? Beware!

    Posted: 01 Jan 2021 04:58 PM PST

    Hello all!

    Let me preface this by saying I wrote this on the options sub first because that's what I enjoy trading, but a lot of what I talk about applied to stocks/shares as well.

    ​

    First off, Happy New Year! It's now 2021! This means there are a lot of people that are wanting to start fresh with new goals, resolutions and getting into new hobbies or interests. If you want to start 2021 with the goal of being financially responsible, want to see if trading in the stock market is your thing, or if you've been doing it and you're just trying to find your way around this crazy mess, then read on!

    ​

    1. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY ON A MENTOR

    - Be cautious of who you're learning from or where you're putting your trust and money. There are many people that charge outrageous amounts of money to teach you things that you can learn on your own for free. They glamorize this rich lifestyle that they supposedly built from trading or promise you an accelerated path to profit, and now they want to help you do the same. Think about it, if these people were so successful, then why do they need to shove their courses down your throat? I, and a lot of other people, are almost entirely self-taught through reading books, websites and watching YouTube videos. I believe myself to be a self-sufficient trader now. At least for my personal goals, trading style, and expectations. You can learn on your own too, for free 99.

    ​

    2. "I NEVER LOSE. I EITHER WIN, OR I LEARN"

    - This journey you're about to start...It's hard. It really is. You're going to encounter many obstacles and experience many pitfalls. You're also going to learn many hard lessons along the way regarding patience, mistakes, risk, and discipline to name a few. You're going to lose money. You're going to feel defeated. You're going to feel like giving up. It's natural. It's human-nature. We've all gone through it. Wanting to give up and quit is especially the case when you lose your hard-earned money. Don't lose hope or give up. Ask anyone how much they lost or how long it took them before they started making money consistently. If they say $0 or not even a few months, they're lying out of their ass. If you win, great! If you lose, learn why you lost. Dig deeper into the reasons and circumstances that led to it. Arguably, you should be tracking your wins and logging that info as well so you can replicate it. I blew up my account twice (about $3500 total) and recovered it all twice (shit gets old quick btw). First from fomo'ing call options on NIO's very first run up when I didn't know about implied volatility (IV) and yolo'ing calls on Rocket's very first earnings because I didn't know that even if expectations are beat, the price direction is still 50/50. Did I feel like quitting? Of course! However, each time I lost big like that I dug into the why's and how's. Coincidentally, if you look at my post history, my very first post (and the most upvoted one) was teaching people how to play NIO's earnings the smarter/safer way. LOL.

    ​

    3. TRADE WITH FAKE MONEY FIRST (OR DON'T)

    - There's this thing called paper trading where you can try investing/trading without using your hard-earned money. Take advantage of it! I personally didn't and I somewhat regret it. I say somewhat because I believe I would've lost a lot less money than I did while learning. However, the stakes are much higher and I believe it forced me to learn faster. Losing your real money is a whole lot different than losing "fake" money and affects you much differently. Use that information how you want to.

    ​

    4. PLAN YOUR TRADE, TRADE YOUR PLAN

    - This goes a long way. Whenever you're looking at a play. Have a plan to enter, have a plan for the duration you're in the trade, and have a plan to get out of it. Having a plan keeps you consistent. Consistency is the name of the game here. Can you ultimately make money more than you lose it? Having a plan also keeps you out of trouble. For example, one of the biggest pitfalls of trading is trading emotionally. It's almost like when poker players or video gamers "tilt". They get nervous, mad, frustrated, scared, pressured, etc and it interferes with their decision-making and thought process. Having a simple plan and following basic rules like not using money you need for bills, or putting all of your money in one trade drastically reduces the risk of getting emotional.

    ​

    5. SET GOALS. REALISTIC ONES

    - Just like having a plan, setting goals goes a long way. This also helps with staying consistent and building confidence. I have a few friends whose goal is 5-10% of profit each day. Once they make that goal, they're done for the day. Doesn't matter if they cut out too early and it keeps running. They've reached their goal and are fine with that. They do it all over again the next day.

    ​

    6. FIND YOUR IDEAL TRADING STYLE

    - Day/Scalp traders, swing traders, momentum traders, breakout traders, the list goes on. Each type of trader has their own little nuances and things to pay attention to. For example, a swing trader doesn't really care about intraday price movements as opposed to how much a day trader cares. Or a technical trader doesn't really care about the fundamentals of the company they're trading as opposed to a fundamental trader. Find what style suits your personality and/or what style fits your level of commitment. For example, day trading requires monitoring the market or price action which isn't suitable for someone who works a 9-5 job with meetings all day.

    ​

    7. WELCOME TO THE RABBITHOLE!

    - Trading requires a certain level of dedication, discipline, and effort to get good at. Do people over in the wallstreetbets sub win money with minimal effort? Yes, they do. But not all the time and is mostly based on luck, thus that "strategy" isn't sustainable. Learn as much as you can from as many (reputable) sources as possible. Try out what they're teaching, tweak it, fine tune it to how you trade. Even though you've been trading forever and might think you know something, someone else comes along that can do what you do a million times better, faster, and more efficiently. My main point is never stop learning. #StayLearningStayEarning is the motto of my YT channel because although I learned enough to be a self-sufficient trader, I'm still open-minded and make an effort to learn as much as I can. I don't know everything, I'm not perfect, but I definitely want to be better than I was yesterday.

    ​

    8. WHAT GOES UP (ESPECIALLY IN A VERY SHORT TIME), MUST COME DOWN

    - Don't get caught in the hype of a certain ticker, especially penny stocks. When people ask me what I think about x company and I look at the chart and see green candles for days going vertical or almost vertical, I tell them it's not worth my time and I personally don't want to trade it. Can you still trade things that run up crazy like that? Of course you can! I've stayed in trades that got me over 100% in profit, but stayed in it because it showed me it wasn't done running yet. However, that's a discussion for another day. But since you're a beginner, I'd strongly advise against it until you, at the very least, start to feel comfortable.

    ​

    That's all I can think of at the moment, but I'm sure that's enough to give you a good foundation. If you have any questions or need help with something, feel free to message or comment. If you did check my post history for that NIO post I referenced back in #2, you'll find that I'm very open to helping. I love helping people with what I know. If you have anything to add to the list that I forgot, by all means, comment them down below to help our new brothers and sisters.

    Wishing you all a very healthy, happy, and profitable 2021!

    -Davin

    Edit: Please read the post fully and carefully before starting a riot in the comments. Some people in r/options are arguing points I agree with and talk about in the post or are missing key details. Also, the 5-10% goal per day thing is the goal for the day, on one trade. I'm pointing out that those people I know have small, attainable goals and that's all they shoot for each day.

    is buying and holding for as long as possible always the best strategy?

    Posted: 02 Jan 2021 04:55 AM PST

    I've noticed that no matter what happens, the market is always bullish long term. if you bought stocks right before the covid crash, you would probably be still making a profit now. I feel that it's almost a rule, so why don't people just do this? if you bought a share of the S&P 500 in 2000 you would be making about a 60% profit now.

    BFCH

    Posted: 02 Jan 2021 07:52 AM PST

    I'm a goof. Ignore everything I say. I had about $5K so I invested it. Never made much money. A week or so back I got drunk. Started "researching" bad stock tickers. I found BFARF which made me laugh because it sounded like BARF. I sold everything and went to buy some. I typed in the wrong symbol and ended up buying 189,898 shares of BFCH at 0.020 cents. I didn't check my "portfolio". Took some time off for Christmas and new years and today I see I've got a lot more money in my account. WTF!?! It's up to 0.032. So advice? Do I hold or do I drink another bottle and do some more research? Sort of wondering if there's a symbol called FART...

    The Reliability Of Stock Analyst Recommendations

    Posted: 02 Jan 2021 11:03 AM PST

    Before I buy stocks, I always like to be on the same page with analysts. I know analyst recommendations are not a guarantee, but I always feel more safe when the stock I'm researching has a buy rating and a big potential percentage upside. Does anyone feel the same the same way or do you guys ignore analyst recommendations all together? Thanks!

    Looking for thoughts on ticker:GMBL

    Posted: 02 Jan 2021 01:08 PM PST

    Im getting into some ESPORT stocks as i think and truly believe this will rocket as time passes. Ive read articles saying that in the long term this could very well go beyond 15USD which would be nearly ?x (Long term/couple of years)

    With gaming becoming as big as it is today i dont believe its a bad play but would still like some thoughts.

    It's looking a little bearish atm and i was planning to wait for it to hit 3.5-4.5 before getting in unless i see some big news. Thoughts?

    I have a very diverse portfolio so im planning on putting 5k ≈ USD as on all my other choices.

    Contrarian ideas that become consensus ideas?

    Posted: 02 Jan 2021 12:58 PM PST

    As we start a new year I'm curious what the community is looking at from a contrarian investment standpoint. My philosophy is the best way to make money is to find the contrarian ideas that will become the consensus.

    I think we've seen that with EV, tech, biotech this year. What else are we missing or is it just more companies within this categories that we're missing right now?

    Margin Interest Calculation - Daily Compounding?

    Posted: 02 Jan 2021 09:45 AM PST

    I use Schwab, and apparently they use daily compounding, according to their website:

    Actual interest would be higher due to daily compounding that is charged monthly to the account.

    Is the use of daily compounding normal for most brokerages?

    General Direction/Advice for 21 year old

    Posted: 02 Jan 2021 11:52 AM PST

    Recently been interested in stocks and I've seen a lot of people saying safe plays are Tesla, Apple, Amd, and the like. I've also been curious about psychedelic research centers, marijuana stocks as well as renewable energies and plastic eating microbes but need to read more about those.

    My question is, at 21 years old, sitting in a dispensary all day, what are some smart moves I can make to set some stones in place and get a ball or two rolling for passive income? I average about ~$650/2 weeks on my checks but my bills are only about $250/month.

    Are renewables stocks really overvalued if we think they’re meant to replace fossil fuels long-term?

    Posted: 02 Jan 2021 11:41 AM PST

    We've entered the "renewables-energy arms race" and with administrations, such as Biden's, looking into fostering more and more renewables solutions, do you guys think the space is really THAT overvalued long-term?

    Nuclear fusion aside, it seems like renewables are going towards replacing fossil fuels and while it might take some time before they do, as a long term investor, do you still see value in investing in those renewables that have shot up +100% this year? Thanks for the thoughts!
