ohgodwhat posted:So like you've been wrong about pretty much everything but one day you made money swing trading UVXY? Yes, that's jealousy we're feeling. Please share your secret to success Never said anything about jealousy. Goons are already elitist, and this thread takes that one level further. My intention wasn't to make anyone "jealous", I was simply sharing a positive experience I had. I've never claimed to have actually made any substantial amount of money. Lote posted:What stocks are you personally shorting and / or buying? 2016 when first starting out I tried playing SPY and, obviously, it didn't go well. I picked up AMZN calls I think in December of that year and the money I made from those calls in 2017 was all but lost after I put it towards AMD and MU calls and NVDA puts (yeah, I know). I was never really looking at fundamentals, just playing the "meme" stocks. Oh, also took a few big hits trying to play VIX and UVXY. This year I'm around 25% up total due to gold ETF calls. I made about 12% on the UVXY trades Friday. To put these figures into perspective, I've never had more than a grand allocated to my speculative trades, and this year I cut that in half to $500 in order to try and be more disciplined by limiting the moves I can make. 25% on 500 is jack poo poo. I legitimately was not trying to brag whatsoever. LiterallyAnything fucked around with this message at 20:36 on Feb 17, 2018 |

tangy yet delightful posted:Follow-up question. I currently have a Vanguard account for my retirement accounts, it looks like you can trade OTC via a phone call to them and it's something like $25 per trade. Since my gameplan would be to buy whatever I settle on and them hold for a few years at least prior to selling would this be my best bet? $25 bucks is way too much, especially as 5% of the trade. If you just want to hold them with $1k I would suggest robinhood, etrade, or ally. It takes like 15 minutes to open an account with any of them. I think robinhood and etrade will let you do instant deposits. Robinhood has some free margin if you wanna juice your  .

I just realized that robinhood won't let you buy the foreign stocks, if you're in the US. So you can buy things like MJ, TRTC, GWPH, or IIPR with robinhood, but not much else.

Vanguard is absolutely terrible when it comes to web interface.

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 Jack Daniels posted:a lot/most of the brokers have recently gone to the $5 commission which is sweet. whatever you pick, don't pay more than that imo....

I'm thinking $SND (fracking sand company, oils up, shale looking profitable again) and $QD (Chinese consumer finance) as buys I am targeting. Hoping for bump in $SHAK and $LTBR so I can get out of those lovely positions and into some WINNERS!! Should be rich soon, stay tuned

jvick posted:What are people watching this week? A Seeking Alpha guy I follow is suggesting $GOGO as a short term run up due to insider buying and a potential short squeeze. But there is trouble in the balance sheet, as of their last reporting quarter (Nov 2017): the company's been losing money the last _eight_ quarters and has negative stockholders equity as the last 10-Q, also having negative operating income in many of those quarters. A cursory review of the company's debt there are $292 mm of Convertible Notes involved that could dilute the stock if acted upon by the holders, and also impede a friendly acquisition. They are also paying 12.5 % interest on $525mm of their senior secured notes per their last 10-K. Their interest payment was 17% of last quarter's sales. So $GOGO has negative equity, high interest payments , 8 quarters of losing money...will be interesting to see in a year how their story plays out. I don't know what other catalyst would possibly drive this stock up, unless short-sellers just get bored with holding their positions. Investors would probably look for something else in the airline or air transport space with a little bit stronger balance sheet.

Are $WMT and $HD going to jump tomorrow, or drop? Hot takes? I think they will climb on earnings, especially Home Depot. Unfortunately I can't put my money where my mouth is because all my cash is tied up in lovely stocks right now.

nnnotime posted:With $GOGO it's fate is tied to growth in the airline industry. So if you think airlines will be up this year then $GOGO should ascend with them. From their last 10-K they had contracts with nine airlines and five more possibly lined up, so that's good there's no risk of being dependent on a few big customers. All of your points are very valid, but when I say a short term play, I'm talking two weeks. The chart shows a double bottom with some positive momentum already, with more anticipated. Here is his write up: quote:GOGO shows a very strong technical breakout pattern testing the resistance level at 10.23 with positive momentum expected to reach 11.50 and higher. This represents at least a 12.4% expected gain in the short term. Compounding this positive opportunity is a very high short float that is set up for a large potential short squeeze scenario. Insiders have significantly increased their holdings over the prior period and institutional holdings have increased to 77.37%.
