Between the big box retailers, I get that Target is some people's happy place while Wal-Mart is desperately grasping for lateral services... but what is CostCo's deal? They seemed to recover well from the covid crash but have slipped almost 10% since late November. Based on their past curves, they seem ready to either bounce or hover in limbo for a bit.

Michael Corleone posted:So, if it doesn't get approved it is going to drop like a rock right? Like how low would it go? No one really knows, if you are dumping money at NDRA its YOLO money, to get maybe up to the $6 mark per share that analysts at some point had predicted. They filed the paperwork to offer more shares on Friday, the markets are down today in general. 6% drop or so is well within the margin they have shown in fluctuations before. If FDA rejects or flatout says their gadget is crap, this company has it all riding on this one gadget / widget / thingamobobber, it will most likely plummet to the bottom. If the FDA approves it might rocket up to $6 dollars a share with all the crazy rides the market is doing right now. If the FDA extends the trial / has them go back to modify things, it will probably plummet pretty hard too, as tons of people have all piled on expecting a rocket ship and for this thing to do everything known to man. The gamble is waiting on FDA approval, anything before that is just fluctuations.

They are The Place For Groceries for people who can read, but that’s it. A black mark on them from Wall Street is that they pay employees well and they don’t pay their CEO much and think they aren’t doing Good Business Things and Innovating I think. But like they’re a grocery company that is 90% supply chain. Should they be buying e-commerce companies and building gaming computers or something and heavily marketing ? Lol

At least that is what I read, you can go for free if a member buys you a 20 smackers gift card and spend as much as you want, I went once with my dad when my Aunt relented and bought me one with her membership. They didn't like it and this was like 3 years ago, probably closed that loophole. Like I said NDRA would bounce off 2.26 almost went more in but it went up to fast while I was seeing if it would break support.

They seemed to recover well from the covid crash but have slipped almost 10% since late November. Based on their past curves, they seem ready to either bounce or hover in limbo for a bit. I quite like CostCo and how they do business. But like so many companies right now, it appears someone/everyone else likes them much more. For a retailer at their stage of life cycle and saturation, a P/E of 37 seems super ambitious. I think they'll grow slowly and steadily for the next 10 years - like they have consistently for the last 10 - and that justifies a P/E somewhere in the 20s. Target/Walmart (who are themselves now in the 20s) seem like they should be firmly back in the teens. An alternate reality where WMT is priced at about half of what it is, and thus paying a 3% dividend (currently 1.5%) makes a lot more sense to me.

Sadly much like Walmart, the moment the current CEO of Costco retires or dies, I am sure they will be replaced by someone who doesn’t have the same [correct] beliefs about paying your employees well.

I am getting out of NDRA the second it hits 2.38 and I make like 8 cents. The risk reward is good, but WE have no clue about the approval odds. Or do any of you. Sorry, I will never post about this stock again. Also DRRX, look into it, the only thing I have been able to make money on consistantly, maybe I am biased because it was my first stock and a Strong Buy but I trade the dips and peaks, now I need to learn and study more stocks and do the same thing. I might miss out when it does actually break out, but I am out now and hoping it goes back down.

Possible but the current CEO isn't the founder so maybe the next one up will be a selection from within and keep with the companies stated aims/morals/goals what have you. Stock wise I think Costco is a fine company to have in a broad portfolio (index funds) but I don't really see a reason to hold it as a stand alone.

I started out thinking I was going to be YOLO gang, but now I miss out on a lot of profits when I profit take. Learned my lesson from SNDL when I made and lost 400 bux swinging it. No one ever went broke selling for a profit, it is what I do now. No moonshots probably, but consistent money. Uranium, is this how you went from 10-300k?

I'm trying to find the info, but I'm pretty sure someone ITT said that the company or firm they're using to go for approval has a 100% clearance rate with FDA which could speak to the chances. It's still just gambling though. e: I was wrong about them using someone to go for approval, here's what I found. quote:CriTech Research designed the TAEUS software for NDRA.

Sold SAVE at $38. I realize it will very well go higher but I feel that it will slump down soon again as COVID times aren't exactly over and it's pretty much where it used to be pre-COVID anyway. Made a good 25%+ profit.

So I wouldn't know what to recommend, but any of those three look good. GCP is more admin friendly but the products lag behing aws. Cloud players: AWS is the elephant in the room for cloud infra specifically. Microsoft has Azure, very big for infra and apps. Google has a cloud ecosystem for apps. VMWare, IBM have infra stuff, IBM also has apps. There's some big players in the cloud apps space, like Oracle, Salesforce, SAP, Adobe, Workday, Intuit, etc. There's hundreds and hundreds of medium-sized vendors usually with one or two key cloud products. Here's a decentish list of 500 of them, 2 years out of date but good to just skim. Cloud is an extremely crowded space with a lot of downside risk for any company that isn't among the behemoth leaders. I would 100% not trust any small company with one key app to survive, although undoubtedly many of them will, it's just a total crapshoot which ones get acquired for their tech, and which ones get beaten and die. I would not advise any invstor to just pick a company, read about it's product, nod and say "this seems like a good product" and then buy stock in it on that basis. You have to evaluate who they're competing with, how big their competitors are, look at balance sheets and revenue growth, etc. and then decide if they're likely to be a winner or an aquisition target. And even then, if they're not one of the, say, top 20 or so, they're still at risk, because best tech doesn't always win. It's correct though that the sector is booming. On-premises is dying, nobody who isn't a cloud service vendor or a government entity wants to own and operate data centers, or develop in-house non-cloud applications, the big hump to get past is the legacy installed base and the cost of migrating to the cloud. To that end, there's tons of consultant companies too, so the cloud space includes those guys as well. Leperflesh fucked around with this message at 19:53 on Feb 22, 2021 |

I worked at a company with a small Data center with cabinets to rent. There were no other similar data centers in town, and the town was someone adjacent to Silicon Valley. They couldn’t give away the cabinets low enough. Everyone was moving to cloud. Last I heard they were exploring the idea of demolishing the data center space and turning it into more profitable office space to rent. It’s crazy.

One thing to note about cloud vendors is that new US Government requirements came into effect this year that dramatically limited which cloud services were okay to use (mostly just the big ones, who set up specialized platforms for this purpose). I anticipate we'll see AWS GovCloud / Azure GovCloud grow as more government (and military contractor) services become cloud-based, skipping over the mid-level providers altogether. If a different company brings a government cloud solution to market with lower prices, though, it might get traction.

I know nothing about energy stocks, but as I watch all this poo poo with Texas, I'm starting to think that more people are going to be motivated to get themselves off the grid and that we could see more energy crisis situations in the next few years. With that as a hypothesis, what are some plays worth exploring? My thinking right now is looking into SPWR, D, BE and FSLR as potential plays.
