Did we miss the boat on GOGO? I'm half tempted to dump a couple bucks in it to see where it goes. So far this week it's jumped 50%.

Willing to bet this was largely a short squeeze given short interest and a small float. Thinking a secondary would be a great buying opportunity, unlocked shares should attract more institutions into the name.

I actually used it just yesterday on a flight. The price seemed steep for just one flight ($21 for the flight, though I may have been able to get away with the 3 hr one for like $18 or whatever it was) Their target demo is definitely business travelers who will most likely write off or expense the cost, so they can probably keep getting away with increasing the cost when they are the only game in town for certain airlines. Unless the FAA lets people use satellite internet (who uses that anymore though and would it even work on the plane?) or cell towers somehow start being able to reach up to the plane (never) they'll have a monopoly. Here's a fun little purchase history of what I've paid over the years. I don't use it often, but you can see the trend.

They own all of it now; the FCC is supposedly opening up a few more Mhz so we will see if someone makes a move. Regardless, what will be up for bid will only be a fraction of what Gogo already owns. Their recent iteration, ATG-4 is a pretty good improvement. They are also going to complement it with GTO satellite connectivity which will make it even better. Satellites have better throughput but worse latency (cuz its far away. Jetblue and SOuthwest use this Supposedly the next generation satellites, Ka Signal, will greatly improve throughput but latency issues remains the same. So yea, talk about a competitive moat. Not to mention the captive audience. Gogo is in the process of offering more services for its subscription (onboard entertainment, text and talk, etc) so all of this should keep its pricing intact

Could be that I was on an old plane with an old setup on gear, but the performance I got on the flight was pathetic and usually is from what I remember past times I have used it. Just barely enough for email and some really basic web browsing, but then again that's all I really needed it for, so I guess again they know what they're doing haha.

Ya ATG-4 rollout is still in process, but even then they don't allow certain services like Netflix. What really sold me was my experience flying from Boston to NYC, a 30 minute flight, offered at $5. lovely bandwidth sure, but enough to hook up my iphone and browse facebook and reddit. Call it sad, but I'd rather pay for overpriced lovely internet than overpriced lovely food and I think my preference is pretty typical in this day and age.

Wouldn't have mattered; there wasn't enough to go around. I've run the maths on the numbers that have been released and insto and big-name retail ended up taking it all down. Most IPOs it's who you know, not the size of your bid [case in point, one of the top 20 investors who bought in only wanted 250k so 50k wouldn't have been too far down that ranking].

What are people's thoughts on HCI Group Inc (NYSE:HCI)? I bought 200 shares for 25$ in April and its at 47.71 now. I'm tempted to throw more money at it since their growth has been phenomenal so far. The almost 100% gain in a few months scares me though, definitely since it's got a low market cap. I just feel a big dip even though the fundamentals seem solid to me.

I really know nothing about but this company, but is buying a FL property and casualty insurer just basically gambling on the hurricane season?

TSLA getting killed today but from a purely technical perspective, it did a gap fill so if this holds over the next 2-3 days it could serve as support.

I am a complete noob at stock trading and need a little help. I inherited a TD Ameritrade account from my father and I want me to set a limit on one of my stocks so that it automatically sells if it drops below a certain price. Example: I have a stock at $61 that I want to sell if it drops below $60, I assume when the website is asking for price it means current market price and activation price is the trigger for when the order is placed. Is this correct?

Is this correct? There's the price where if the stock drops below, it activates the stop. The other price is the minimum price at which the system will try to sell the stock. So if you set the numbers at $60 activation and $55 price, when the stock drops below 60$, the system will try to sell your stock at $55 and above.

Is this correct? Can we get some info on what you're trying to sell / why? It might not be adventageous to set a limit on a stock that has historically erratic prices or high volume trading. See AMD if you want proof of this.

I am looking to sell Green mountain coffee and rite aid stocks, I planned on selling these soon anyway to pay off my families housing debt but was gonna wait a little longer for any gains. I'm mostly just worried GMC is gonna have a bad day tomorrow with their quarterly reports. Any major losses would be pretty bad, both of my parents died this past year and my siblings are gently caress ups so I need to watch out for them. I suffer from spinal arthritis so I can barely work so any monetary gain is essentially months of income.

I'm a newbie in the trading world, I've read the introductions to all the threads, a couple books (Mad Money and The Four Pillars of Investing) as recommended in the threads. I started with 3k and I'm trying to get a nice, advantageous portfolio. I've already learned a few things from mock trading, like be wary of speculation, penny stocks, and don't buy something you don't whole-heartedly believe in. My portfolio thus far is: CLNE: Clean Energy Fuel Corps. A natural gas supplier. MITK: Mitek Systems Inc. A smart phone imaging service that goes beyond just depositing checks. NQ: NQ Mobile Inc. A China-based smart phone privacy software company. PZZI: Pizza Inn Inc. A, amongst other establishments, quick-casual pizza restaurant. I have $500 in all of the above stocks, however, I have $1k in NQ because I use the software and love it. The other ones I really believe in, but I don't have any means to use the products at the moment, but would certainly given the opportunity. I have the other $500 sitting in my account, as cash, ready to trade, but I haven't found any other stocks that have really grabbed me. I wanted to give GOGO a try, but, as a consumer, I wouldn't pay those prices, and I wanted to jump on ZU opening day, but it wasn't a product I'd use, so I haven't had the desire to tuck away my other $500 in either of those. Does anyone have any advice about my portfolio? Does anyone have any advice as to how they go about finding the stocks they particularly love? Any advice at all would be truly helpful, thank you.

If you set a sell @ $60 it can drop to $55 before your sell order gets processed

This is not a judgement by any means, but you're currently invested in small cap, micro-cap, small cap, micro-cap respectively. All of the companies you've but one, NQ, have negative EPS. Maybe you want to get some money in larger stocks next?
