Can't do anything today because I am diamond handing SNDL and IDEX and holding my one 'good' pick DRRX. e; to be sure, diamond handing means to hold a down stock in hopes it gets better, right? Michael Corleone fucked around with this message at 16:29 on Feb 12, 2021 |

Taking a beating on PLTR this morning. Markets are closed Monday, probably people selling before earnings call on Tuesday?

It means holding a stock forever, because stocks only go up. Since there is no profit until a sale occurs, no diamond hander has ever actually made money. That's the basics of meme language though, 💎 = hold, 🧻= sell Teeter fucked around with this message at 16:50 on Feb 12, 2021 |

Pillowpants posted:I'm curious - How much money did you all initially throw in to start with? How much should you? What are the best success/horror stories here?  " So I decided to put some effort into learning how to day trade instead of just doing it based on my own obviously flawed intuition. I started reading stuff online and watching youtube videos about day trading and technical analysis, and found a mountain of horse poo poo and snake oil salesmen. But I did find some helpful stuff, and was able to get back to break even within a month (this was summer 2017 and the crypto market made it easy to make money quickly). I was consistently profitable for the next several months, and had tripled my money. I put in another $5500 in October for a total of $10k of my own money. In November/December, the crypto market exploded in euphoria and I fortunately had taken 2 weeks off from work, which I spent just day trading BTC, LTC, and ETH. I ended up making a LOT of money. By the time I was done with crypto trading, I had made 3000% profit.In early 2018, the crypto bubble popped and it got much harder to trade, and I had always been concerned about the exchange getting hacked, so I drew down my account and switched to stock trading. A lot of my money went to taxes, paying off student loans, and buying an apartment in NYC. Since then I've only traded stocks, and had mixed results the first couple years. I've been profitable every year but nothing remotely close to how I did trading crypto. I've had problems with consistency--I've had periods of amazing success followed by months where I gave a lot of my recent profit back. Last year I did great in the coronavirus crash by trading ES and NQ futures, but I didn't adapt well when the market recovered. What had worked went things were dropping straight down didn't work when the market climbed back up. In the last third of the year I had figured out what would work for me and cut out the stuff that didn't, and began seeing consistency again. Ended up making about 102% on the year, and have done very well so far this year--up 43% on the year as of this morning. My goal now is to just focus on consistency and to be quicker to adapt when the market changes. I think I've learned my lesson about that, but we'll have to see the market shift again before I'll know for sure.

Poco posted:Taking a beating on PLTR this morning. Markets are closed Monday, probably people selling before earnings call on Tuesday? The market is giving PLTR the classic three-act story structure treatment. People analyze PLTR and find good news, only to deny it. Then, when it looks like PLTR has climbed up a tree to safety, the market throws rocks at it. PLTR hasn't entered the third act yet where its stock balloons and everyone labels it The Chosen One. ...but seriously, what kind of financial negging is going on that PLTR keeps securing contracts and showing off a perfectly fine product/service and the market's reaction of late is, "who tf would want THAT?"

What the gently caress is going on with LORL? It's gone from failing to meet listing requirements and multiple news articles about ongoing investigations a month ago (which convinced me not to buy) to steadily growing to double the price in the past couple weeks.

I only started 'trading' last Wednesday. I am up and will be if I close out of SNDL over like 2.05 I'm in at 2.90, planning to hold over the 3 day weekend because I don't think it can go much lower, has support all over the place and may not go below 2. If I cash out at 2.05 I am even on SNDL overall. Any advice, and thanks you guys are really cool here, and know stuff! m

Was an idiot and bought very high, sold 5 CC $ 4.50 strike a month out and used the proceeds to buy 100 more shares to get my average cost down.

I mean any gain is good, but a low gain is bad as the money could have been invested elsewhere and make more money. I guess I should decide on a stock to stock basis.

An overall exit strategy to avoid holding anything too long is a good idea. Like if an option ever gets me or loses me 20% I close it. Any time I broke this rule I lost money.

Playboy was a genuinely good magazine with some really famous writing and tiddies, not sure why they would ever dump it considering it was the most popular and probably only profitable magazine in the country and was kind of the entire brand identity.

BNGO looks interesting disclosure: i am long BNGO from 12.40 as of this morning edit: also fwiw I will probably not hold anything overnight, since I usually don't swing trade. But if it closes over $14 then I might take profit on most and swing a small position over the weekend Uranium 235 fucked around with this message at 18:32 on Feb 12, 2021 |

Physical media is hard to translate to digital and just isn't worth what it used to be. Don't forget that News Corp. acquired the entirety of National Geographic, probably the most famous magazine in the world, for around $725M and even then only because it was packaged with the cable network and other media. To me, that sounded very low, but it is what it is. That said, Playboy has always had a lot going for it through the licensing of the rabbit. It's an iconic logo. Who knows if the brand is worth the $12.30 a share it's at right now, but I'm glad it's still around either way.

Because those crusty mags that were bought for the 'articles' are going to be buried with the Boomers IMHO. Online subscription for just the articles and a few tasteful titty pics probably has a super limited demographic these days with great free articles elsewhere, and smut on a massive scale to suit any tastes found for free. They are building some sort of brand and branching out, pulling an MTV (lol remember music videos you had to wait for) and who knows if it will work. I'm personally not interested in the stock, I just don't see a limitless growth like the CEO states. What they branch out and have a Playboy tasteful streaming service? Lotions and sex toys with a playboy logo? It might work, but its already a super crowded field. I just think its going to be a bunch of products rebranded with the Playboy logo slapped on top.

I could see them doing well if they positioned themselves as a competitor to PINK. Whether PB can do that, who knows? It could work making a nice line of bunny-branded sweatpants or it could blow up in flames and mismanagement. Apparently they're huge in China and have like 1,000 physical stores there.
