EAT FASTER!!!!!! posted:you think Alphabet has a further 10 years of share price inflation that will be driven by winning driverless cars that has not already been priced in at a P:E of 55 and a market cap of 775B? Ok fine. I will look into some other stocks to put into instead of GOOG. Appreciate the feedback

EAT FASTER!!!!!! posted:ALRM (11 shares) - would not buy So BB. If you look at their most recent quarterly result you will see that devices make up a paltry sub 30m of revenue, and their SAF is down to sub 10m. This means 85-90% of their revenue is from software sales (recurring ???), and I suppose patents (trolling). They seem to have cash, and could very well start to make acquisitions at some point to strengthen the  security offerings They recently added a Baidu partnership, and sell some sort of fleet tracking solution which should have high margins. Overall I think they are growing revenue*** and maintaining good gross margin. Looking at the CEO, he seems to be near fully vesting his stock options (13m RSU @ somepoint in 2018) so there is incentive to push hard before they vest. Broadly the company seems to be worth barely over its cash position and I suppose what it's patents are worth.Now that they've essentially divested their low margin device sales business, they are a takeover target imho e: *** growing revenue through software/patents Risky Bisquick fucked around with this message at 21:16 on Jan 5, 2018 |

I’m the resident IIPR bull, thier management team sold their last REIT to Blackstone for like $8 billion and are now building a pot REIT. Volatile as all hell with the pot news, but has a non-trivial yield because of the REIT structure. CVGW and LMNR are my plays on avocado and lemon demand, respectively.

crazypeltast52 posted:CVGW and LMNR are my plays on avocado and lemon demand, respectively. This is really funny to me. They both used to be customers of mine. I looked at Calavo back in 2012/2013 and wasn't too excited about it. Pretty crazy to see what they've done. As for Rock, I think you may have tried a bit hard with $2,500. That's a good amount to just put into a couple (at most 3-4) ETFs and just ride it. If you're paying $7 per trade that means HMNY needs to go up 15% ($7.60 to $8.35+) just to make money. Tough to do unless you're in it for the long haul. Take it for what it's worth, but at $7/trade I would recommend setting a personal minimum investment of $500 for yourself. A 3% gain is a lot easier to hit jvick fucked around with this message at 22:36 on Jan 5, 2018 |

Rocks posted:just fyi... i'm not a gamer... i haven't played video games in 10 years, and i played a nintendo switch over the holidays and it loving blew my mind. doing the research i think nintendo is going to have a stellar year in 2018. I also bought a Switch for Christmas and currently own NTDOY shares. Which makes me an expert whose opinion you ought to value  I think there's some more upside, but if the stock doesn't surge with what I have to think will be amazing Christmas quarter earnings released at the end of this month then I would consider getting out. Keep in mind that the stock has already almost doubled this past year. I am hoping for a profit trinity of strong earnings report, a good Nintendo Direct, and a favorable production outlook for the next calendar year. We shall see. The Wii rally lasted for two years so a sustained run on account of the Switch would hardly be unprecedented. LLCoolJD fucked around with this message at 22:16 on Jan 5, 2018 |

For short term stuff I personally wouldn't put less than $2k on any individual stock unless you've got no commissions. Then mayyybe like $1750 min. Just too hard to make worthwhile money in the right time frame otherwise. Obviously what someone considers worthwhile (both time and $) is going to depend hugely on their personal situation, but commissions do make for a hard floor. Rock - I'm a learn by doing (aka only learning lessons after losing money) guy myself, I know where you're coming from. Paper trading is fine for learning basics and testing stuff, but you won't learn poo poo about yourself until there's money on the table. This thread can be on the more brusque side but don't let it bug you. There's always more to learn about trading, investing and yourself, but you gotta start somewhere. As long as you continually improve over time, you are doing things right. Biggest thing I can suggest to start in the right direction is to keep a trading journal. Why did you buy a thing, why did you sell it? Even better to get a thesis down ahead of the fact, why do I want to buy a thing, under what conditions would I buy that thing, when/under what conditions will I sell that thing? And then reflect back on it later. Did you stick to your thesis? Did you abandon it for emotional reasons, or did you alter it when new information became available? Why or why not? And always be brutally honest with yourself. Keep updating notes on a position over time as well. Honestly it's the reflections I've found to be as helpful as the raw data. Over time a journal helps you identify your patterns and biases, see what tends to work and what doesn't. Do you tend to hold losers too long, and sell winners too fast? Get caught up by FOMO and tend to get burned? Does your risk tolerance not seem to shake out in the final numbers the way you think it is in your head? Are you an idiot who wants to make a 3x leveraged bet on the direction of the price of oil? (  ) Etc.Good luck! The Butcher fucked around with this message at 00:56 on Jan 6, 2018 |

That is all really good advice. But it's missing one super key component. Your Gut. Always buy your gut. It''s why hitting on 18 always works when you're drunk in Vegas. Gut (clappy hand emoji). Trading (clappy hand emoji). Works (clappy hand emoji).

I kinda wish I could by NTDOY, but my broker doesn't allow OTC stocks  I haven't had much time for trading lately, so I've just been sitting long in F, VUZI, and AIEQ. I'v been in Vuzix for 2.5 years @ $4.99  Always buy you're gut, never buy a book. Works for me!

I agree with the learn by doing philosophy, but it's also only going to work if your losses actually make you feel pain. You might as well paper trade otherwise. The first time you look at your portfolio at lunch and see something that makes you want to vomit, you've learned a valuable lesson.

LMNR I liked because of their SoCal water rights and land, plus they own a decent amount of CVGW. Ideally only gamble in this thread after you are set over in the long-term investing thread.

I refuse to use their trading platform tho... its loving garbage. so I still use the Schwab trading platform for charts/time&sales/Level2 etc. basically everuthing eccept to execute the trade itself lol  then of course 401k with boring stuff etc blah blah teh. I dont really touch it much

My IRA is my gambling fund, but that's only because I rolled-over a few 401k's when I was younger and consolidated them into it. The only reason I use it is to scratch my gambling fix and to keep my regular brokerage positions as long-term capital gains (sector ETFs, indexes, and a few dividend heavy stocks). My current 401k and Roth 401k are in TDF's with a somewhat small percent split between Small Cap/Mid Cap/Emerging Market funds. I also have a pension, so I'm in the very small minority of people that can gamble pretty freely with their IRA. Normally people gamble in their brokerage account (if at all), but I've always been of the mind set that if you're gonna invest non-tax deferred funds then you should invest them in a way that won't net you more taxes, so that means avoiding short term capital gains (selling for a gain before holding for one year). There's arguments for both sides, but gambling in retirement accounts in general isn't really a good idea because you are not only potentially losing the assets in there, but also the tax differed income that you'll need for retirement. tldr: I use my IRA for gambling, but it's a pretty stupid idea in general.

Wait, what is the comission rates you guys are paying per transaction? I can buy scandinavian stocks for 0,04%, minimum 0,1 USD fee. I see all this talk about comissions eating up all your gains, but unless you're day trading or buying for less than 10 dollars per transaction, that doesn't really seem to be the case for me.
