    Facebook data on more than 500 million accounts found online

    https://www.cnbc.com/2021/04/04/facebook-data-on-more-than-500-million-accounts-found-online.html

    The information appears to be several years old, but it is another example of the vast amount of information collected by Facebook and other social media sites, and the limits to how secure that information is.

    This is an old news, Facebook said "We found and fixed this issue in August 2019." Suddenly many people think fb stock price will go down on Monday due to this news. It won't affect facebook stock price because this is an old fixed issue. Now facebook stock is having momentum as the stock is trading near 52 week high. Economy is reopening and ads growth will comeback strong. There is no other way more effective of placing ads other than facebook. It is also the cheapest among faang. Investors should keep holding facebook stock and ride the momentum.

    Great write up about what happened with Goldman/Archegos last week

    Posted: 04 Apr 2021 07:45 AM PDT

    You remember those mysterious "block trades" and everyone worrying about what's going on in the market and why banks are selling so much? Here is why...

    https://www.nytimes.com/2021/04/03/business/bill-hwang-archegos.html?referringSource=articleShare

    "Until recently, Bill Hwang sat atop one of the biggest — and perhaps least known — fortunes on Wall Street. Then his luck ran out.

    Mr. Hwang, a 57-year-old veteran investor, managed $10 billion through his private investment firm, Archegos Capital Management. He borrowed billions of dollars from Wall Street banks to build enormous positions in a few American and Chinese stocks. By mid-March, Mr. Hwang was the financial force behind $20 billion in shares of ViacomCBS, effectively making him the media company's single largest institutional shareholder. But few knew about his total exposure, since the shares were mostly held through complex financial instruments, called derivatives, created by the banks.

    That changed in late March, after shares of ViacomCBS fell precipitously and the lenders demanded their money. When Archegos couldn't pay, they seized its assets and sold them off, leading to one of the biggest implosions of an investment firm since the 2008 financial crisis."

    Also, from another article, interesting that "Unlike holdings of shares, which require investors to report ownership above 5 percent in a single stock, over-the-counter equity swaps offer exposure to stocks without the SEC reporting requirements of shareholdings."

    What do you guys think about AMD? Their stock took a hit this past quarter, but they are expected to do some big numbers this upcoming quarter, could this propel their stock to triple digits in the future? Is it a buy? Thanks for any advice.

    How to invest in agricultural & Vertical Farming?

    Posted: 04 Apr 2021 10:41 AM PDT

    Agricultural land is subsidized by the government here, so i am looking for USA based AG stocks, and global vertical farming tech.

    I see a massive market for Vertical Farming Tech, and institutions building these vertical farms.

    Land is becoming scarce, population is growing and vertical farming saves a tremendous amount of fresh water. You can grown food year round, and they could potentially grow specialty foods that are not native to the area (expensive).

    Any thoughts on a long term strategy to capitalize on this?

    Long term stocks

    Posted: 04 Apr 2021 12:53 AM PDT

    What stocks are you buying and holding for the next 5-20 years?

    It's pretty obvious that technology will be as big as ever - Im in Apple and Microsoft

    Electric cars will be huge - I'm in Tesla

    Disney - Disney plus set to overtake Netflix, Disney theme parks will expand and grow ( I'm in Disney)

    Cash is slowing being removed from society - I'm in PayPal, square, visa, jp Morgan

    Yolo play - I'm in pltr (got in cheap) I believe there's a high chance of it being massive in the future

    Gaming - I'm in draftkings, competitive gaming is a growing industry

    I am considering adding crsp with its discounting price

    What other industries or stocks should I consider?

    Are stock trading courses mostly bullshit?

    Posted: 04 Apr 2021 10:09 AM PDT

    Someone told me that stock trading courses are bullshit 95 % of the time, their reasoning being the following:

    1. If the stock trader actually has a good strategies, they won't bother spending time on teaching other people.
    2. Teaching other people their strategies is harmful to their business because "it's pretty much just a war of different strategies".

    I don't quite see the logic here. First of all, the traders can have time to both trade stocks and teach courses. Surely with all the algorithms and with partners/assitants, they can make time to teach courses. Now, maybe the money they'd make from these courses would be such a drop in the bucket compared to their stock earnings, making it again pointless. I'm not sure about this, but a friend of mine is paying a quite sizeable sum for a trading course, and in this digital age, he could be one of many. So, perhaps there is a lot of money to make on this.

    As for the second point: surely there are many instances where cooperation is most beneficial. As a teacher of a course, one has a lot of influence over the students, being able to perhaps tell them to invest in certain businesses that would benefit them all.

    So, from my point of view, it doesn't make sense that being a teacher in a stock trading course means that one is most likely scamming the students. What do you guys think about this?

    $ASO Primed for serious movement

    Posted: 04 Apr 2021 11:32 AM PDT

    Things I believe to be important:

    3/30/21 Earnings report had great revenue increases, and almost tripled the estimated EPS

    3/31/21 IPO Lockout period ended and the stock crashed down in the morning, however rebounded by the end of day to +1.5% on the day

    As of 3/15/21 the stock has 41% Short interest which is all opened below $28.01 (The ATH at that point), with 9.1 days to cover, with 92% Institutional money on the statistics

    Open interest for 4/16 30c was around 19000 contracts on Thursday morning, ($28.00 at the time), and closed $29.04 with some heavy action battling that $29.00 line for whatever reason. During AH trading it reached $30.00, and which may or may not mean SOME of these 19000 contracts have not been hedged yet.

    Please do your own DD, however there are several TA showing great looking charts as well for this.

    I currently have (30) 4/16 25c, (165) 4/16 30c and (20) 4/16 40c with intention to buy more Monday morning after seeing what the Pre market brings.

    First post here, as WSB kept muting/banning for NON-GME/AMC posting got tired of that subreddit manipulation. Let me know what you think and if this is helpful/people do or don't want to see these types of posts in here.

    This is not financial advice, do what you want with your own money, I like the stock.

    Thoughts on Autodesk?

    Posted: 04 Apr 2021 07:09 AM PDT

    I was thinking of adding a small position but still getting a feel for the company and their business model. The valuation seems reasonable (f p/e ~40) with 30% eps growth projected over the next few years. I would love to hear more insight if someone has some thoughts. Thanks!

    Dividends and Roth IRA

    Posted: 04 Apr 2021 10:51 AM PDT

    I have a Roth IRA through fidelity. I did not set it up and am just starting to use it. I am interested in buying GREIF because they give dividends and are affordable.

    I have literally no trading experience so I have an embarrassingly basic question. If I buy the stock through my Roth IRA account will I still get the dividends and where will the money go? Also, will I have to pay a bunch in taxes?

    Apologies if this isn't the right subreddit!

    I’m looking for blue chips to buy long-term calls on. Any ideas?

    Posted: 04 Apr 2021 01:30 PM PDT

    Pretty much the title. I'm getting back into casual investing after taking a few years off to be a broke college student. I've had some success in years past buying calls with about two years on them for companies like GE and Wells Fargo. I see a lot of upside potential there because of the low implied volatility and limited downside in the short-term because there's plenty of time left.

    I'm open to just about any sector, but I'd prefer to kind of stay away from tech so I'm not overexposed. Right now the only thing I hold is an Apple call through July. Are there any companies trading low right now or any that could see a nice boost? Ideally, I'd like to get in and out pretty fast, but I want something I'm not worried about getting stuck with for a bit if it doesn't move immediately.

    Favorite FAANG + Microsoft stock?

    Posted: 04 Apr 2021 10:44 AM PDT

    Facebook Apple Amazon Netflix Google (alphabet) Microsoft

    What you think? If you could invest in one company, what company it would be?

    I think that Microsoft, Google and Apple are safest stocks in the market.

    FB can get hurt by scandals. Netflix and Amazon growth is limited when Covid-19 is over. Microsoft and Apple earn so much money and are not hurt by regulation. Meanwhile Alphabet can be hurt by regulation but they own Google and Youtube...its internet monopoly.

    How many stocks you own of the each? Which one is your favorite if any?

    COIN (Coinbase) NASDAQ Releases April 14th

    Posted: 03 Apr 2021 07:55 PM PDT

    So the actual stock for Coinbase is live April 14th 2021 Do you think it's going to go up for down from the initial price and why? Will you be buying the moment it's live or waiting a few days? Why do you think it would skyrocket or plummet?

    How do you get in on crazy after hours fills?

    Posted: 04 Apr 2021 08:52 AM PDT

    If you just look at Disney (DIS) for example, it got a $101 fill after hours when it was trading in the $140s and a $114 fill when it was trading in the $170s. Has anyone here ever gotten one like that and is there a way you can deliberately get them like that?

    Why is Chargepoint (CHPT) stock higher than the future EVGO stock (CLII)?

    Posted: 04 Apr 2021 01:09 PM PDT

    I have been researching charging station stock recently so I could buy some shares. While looking through, I noticed that CHPT is sitting at around 30 after the price jump recently. However, I have heard EVGO is a company that has just as much going for it but it's price is around 13-14. Anyone have any insight as to why this is?

    Help find DCF website

    Posted: 04 Apr 2021 10:07 AM PDT

    I'm looking for a website I saw on reddit 2 days ago that I can't find for the life of me. It was a lot like TrackTak. You could search for a stock by ticker and it would load information about it. You would enter the assumptions and it would give you a intrinsic stock price at the top. I believe it was black and green and just wanted to try it out, but again I haven't been able to find it. Any help would be appreciated!

    Questions on long investment strategies

    Posted: 04 Apr 2021 08:36 AM PDT

    So my question is...I have about 2k invested and split between 4 stocks that 3 are tech and I like the stock and I'm long term. Arkk I unfortunately bought in around the ath and iv been dca when I can as I do with all my stocks with 100$ here and 50$ there but there are other stocks that I would like to start investing in also. So I'm wondering if it is best to keep dca with the socks I have or should I invest that dca money into other stocks to hedge. I'm looking long and do not day trade. I understand that it's ultimately my decision and DD that should give me the answer I need but wondering what's the best strategy

    Which American companies stand to gain from developing countries?

    Posted: 04 Apr 2021 12:09 PM PDT

    For example, let's say that Apple is hypothetically on track to triple iPhone sales from African countries. I heard something about Tesla expanding into India, but I don't know how much they're really investing into that.

    I have a feeling that developed markets (USA, Europe, Japan, et cetera) are going to stagnate, at least in comparison to markets in Asia, Africa, and Latin America.

    The example that I gave was hypothetical, but in real life what are some American companies that are expecting massive gains from developing economies?

    Which Strategy Is Better? Never Selling Vs. Profit Taking

    Posted: 03 Apr 2021 03:20 PM PDT

    Hello, this is gonna be my first post on here. I've been a lurker for 2 years and only created this account recently. Anyways, I want to hear some people's opinions on here about two different strategies I've been mind juggling for a while now.

    The strategy of never selling is simple and what I pretty much stuck with since I started investing until recently. I think it's best to never sell if you plan on investing some money here and there into some long term funds or ETFs. But recently (late last year before this massive rotation) I sold profits on a few stocks that I did really well on and reinvested into a bunch of other things. I was doing really well on all of my picks, and with these past 2 months all of my precious gains disappeared. Of course, hindsight is a bitch, and I wish I had taken profits on most of those and then bought the dip because I still have a strong conviction. Which leaves me thinking about a new strategy, specifically for my volatile growth stonks.

    The strategy of profit taking would have me taking some profits here and there if I make a certain % amount, and then keeping that cash as buying power for dips, bears and rotations. I think this works really well with volatile growth stocks because volatile growth stocks have shown to be able to run up anywhere from 15-50% in a single day or even more depending on the stock. I don't have many stonks like those, but I do have stocks that rally and pullback. If a certain sector or security I'm invested in grows a significant amount in a couple weeks or a couple months, it will almost definitely pullback soon after. This mindset would also help me not feel as bad about selling during a bear market.

    Jobs offering stock purchase programs

    Posted: 04 Apr 2021 05:27 AM PDT

    Just got a job at FedEx ground and in orientation one of the benefits we receive is the option to sign up for company stock purchasing. I am just wondering how this could be any different than taking my paycheck and buying the stocks myself. No one at the facility where I work knows what it is or the logistics of it. Does anyone here have jobs that offer something similar? And is the option even a good benefit or are they just stretching thin? I am curious as to how other people utilize this benefit if they so have it.

    Edit: Found a PDF that seems to explain most things Doesn't mention anything about a reduction, honestly doesn't mention many benefits worth getting.

    Khan's Watchlist for 04/05/21-04/09/21

    Posted: 04 Apr 2021 04:43 AM PDT

    Good morning everyone,

    here are my new ideas for the next week. As usual, you will find additional info + my Charts in a PDF under the Google-Drive Link:

    PDF with additional TA, Charts and Financials

    This week, I focussed on 2 Tech-Stocks that were not hit that hard by the recent selloff, one promising BioTech-Stock, one from the Energy-Sector that might benefit from the upcoming restructure of the $ICLN and the last one is Plant/Seed Consumer-Play with recent Insider-Grants and Buys.

    Here are quick summaries:

    Corsair Gaming

    Was not that affected by the massive Tech-Selloff.

    Re-Claimed all 3 EMA's in the past week – I believe that it will be picked up again by Funds/HF-Algos once it will trade above $35

    Very strong fundamentals, solid financial numbers.

    Although it is a tech-growth stock, Corsair is kinda an old company with a very strong position in the E-Sports/Gaming Sector.

    Could be played as a Mid-Swing but also as a Long-Hold.

    I would add a starter now/at $35 and slowly scale in.

    https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/04/02/my-3-favorite-stocks-right-now/

    https://finance.yahoo.com/m/eeb7f89b-9327-3d79-8e62-acd06d65b08e/3-stocks-to-buy-and-hold-for.html

    Corvus Pharmaceuticals

    Was beaten down by public offering & earnings. Fundamentals are not that great, but Analysts are very bullish on hit, and the 2.5x median price target is something to look for.

    - Several catalysts Phase 2/3 in 2021

    - Major ownership on "Angel Pharma"  Chinese Market

    - https://finance.yahoo.com/news/corvus-pharmaceuticals-provides-business-reports-123000328.html

    Limelight Networks

    "Limelight Networks is one of the best-positioned CDN providers that focuses on providing services to on-demand live video, web content, and software and digital media providers. It has the likes of Amazon, Comcast, Sony, Walt Disney as its customers. As one of the best CDN service providers, with strong infrastructure and steady growth, the company may have some value. Execution remains the main issue, and that too in a competitive environment, to justify significant upside"

    They are not profitable yet, although they have a very good customer base. I would play this as a recovery/earnings-play, then sell-off with a good profit. Wait for the fall after earnings and the buy-in again for a longer hold.

    NextEra Energy

    https://www.ft.com/content/d43ec8c5-0990-4781-b71f-82cb73a09610

    ICLN will be 3x and change its holding mid-April.

    While there will be a lot of selling pressure on $PLUG and other holdings, $NEE might be included and therefore benefit from that.

    "In that scenario, ETFs tracking the index would need to buy all of the freshly added stocks, as well as increasing their holdings in some existing constituents.

    This would mean the iShares ETFs would need to pump more than $400m into each of Vestas Wind Systems, Orsted, and NextEra Energy, as well as large sums into Chinese groups such as China Longyuan Power, Xinjiang Goldwind, and GCL-Poly Energy."

    Calyxt

    Agriculture/Seed-Play; Very High Insider & Institutional Ownership

    Wait for the price above the EMA's, then scale in

    Again, if you need more info, just visit the PDF. Feel free to ask any questions or post also something you want to discuss.

    Genuinely curious, why do REITs get shitted on?

    Posted: 03 Apr 2021 07:07 PM PDT

    I'm a complete noob when it comes to stocks. I try to keep it simple and put 95% into Vanguard, with 5% in other things like CCL, STWD, and VNQ (vanguard's REIT).

    To me REITs make so much sense once you set up dividend reinvestment and the the reinvestment purchases another full share.

    But I must be wrong somewhere because a lot of people poo poo them.

    What is it that I'm missing? I feel so dumb on this topic.

    Clean Energy Stocks

    Posted: 04 Apr 2021 11:18 AM PDT

    Currently I am holding NEE and PLUG as my clean energy plays. I immediately regretted buying PLUG because I bought a few shares a few days before the financial restatement "scandal". I like NEE as a long term play, but what is another clean energy company I can invest in after I break even at $41 a share on PLUG and sell? I've been looking at EXC and ENPH.
