Arkane posted:why will it climb more do you think? The climb has been nothing at all, and the stock itself is nothing at all, small biotech firm with drugs in pipelines. They lost their CEO at the start of the year and figured they were a nice try-out considering that they would be undergoing a shift internally, but not because of legal matters. That they are going through a split potentially and I can vote on it is just a neat twist to my little venture into stocks. It's all learning and it's my only stock.

Arkane posted:There may be people buying or selling based on the split for whatever psychological reason, but it has 0 impact on the business itself. Gonna disagree with this, a little bit. I think a reverse split performed strictly to keep from de-listing is bad news. It means the company does not believe they can get their price back up above a dollar in time simply by producing a good quarter; so, without guidance to the contrary, I take a reverse split of a sub-$1 listed stock as guidance that they expect their near-term performance to (continue to) be poor. I'd be very interested, if anyone knows how to write the query to get the data, in what percentage of listed sub-$1 stocks that perform reverse splits manage to stay above $1 post-split for more than, say, a year.

I bought some cheap stock via robin hood to watch it go up and down and lo and behold I have a vote in a shareholders meeting. It's just exciting for me.

Thoughts on MSFT? Looking for another tech stock. I like the dividend, but I am unsure if it will be an impediment to price growth once rates rise. I notice a lot of dividend growth funds are stocking up on it, so I wonder if it assumed to be a growth/dividend stock of some sort. P/E is at 19, which is at the high end of the cloud tech giants (AAPL, IBM, HPQ, etc) with the exception of GOOGL. My goal is a stable tech stock with a dividend for the oncoming uncertainty with rates and the economy. I feel if rates go up I would be covered with MSFT's cloud and enterprise growth prospects, but if the economy tanks the dividend will allow some shelter from the fallout.

indigi posted:Love it, love everything about it. same, it is real good check out Sanderson Farms, SAFM. I think it is the likeliest of everything I follow to only go up in the near term. doesn't mean it'll happen though! the synopsis is that their feed costs are going down, chicken prices are going up, their earnings are likely to be huge the next couple of quarters at least, the stock is trading at a cheap multiple, and there's a lot of people that are short the stock for - so far - very bad reasons (thinking that feed costs will rise & chicken prices will fall).

Slarlid posted:Why do you think feed costs will fall? I have no idea if they will fall in the future. I am saying they have fallen (soybean meal is now at a 3-year low and corn isn't far away): http://www.nasdaq.com/markets/corn.aspx?timeframe=3y http://www.nasdaq.com/markets/soybean-meal.aspx?timeframe=3y The CEO, who is decent at predicting such things, believes that if the costs are going to rise significantly, it probably won't be before at least Labor day. This means that the next 2 quarters of feed costs should be very low. On the weather front, we're in El Nino, which usually means extra moisture for the central US, which would lessen the chance of a poor growing season and large jump in prices. But again, no idea what feed costs are going to do.

I don't know if it's "better," but the FOREX value of the Australian dollar is pretty highly correlated with metal prices. http://www.dailyfx.com/forex/technical/article/forex_correlations/2012/01/31/forex_correlations_australian_dollar_gold_silver_steel.html e. As this article points out, one advantage of holding AUD long as a proxy for holding metals, is that you earn interest on your AUD whereas you'd possibly pay carrying costs for holding the metals themselves.

Buy a Gold Kilobar. (1kg, runs for about $40k) Hide it somewhere. Alternately buy a standard (400 troy oz), although that will run you more near $400k. Most of your gains from precious metals will be whittled away in fees and taxes. Whereas a Gold bar has essentially one time turn in value of market price with very few questions asked. That is a very long investment though. e; or just buy GLD or something I guess and tie it all into digital gold. Depends on why you're putting your money in gold.

All my posions took a loving beating yesterday. I obsessively check quotes all day and I have to imagine that that isn't a smart thing to do. Does anyone use any of those subscription based stock picking sites? they seem like they have to be fake because if you're making so much money why would you need this business, but then again rich people like to get richer

-JASO has been trading in the ~8 area for a bit. Lots of people saying it's undervalued. -CEO proposes taking the company private for 9.69 a share (20% over closing yesterday) -stock shoots up to 9.5 this morning, floats back down to 9.1 -if the deal doesn't go through, its because shareholders want more than 9.69, meaning people are valuing it higher (right?), meaning good long prospects -if the deal does go through, then this a really good value at 9.12 How is it not a win/win situation to just buy now and see if the deal goes through? If it gets bought, it's a good short play. If it doesn't, I could just hold on for a longer position because 9.69 is apparently a low valuation. Am I making any bad assumptions here? edit: i do realize it will dip in the short term at least if the deal doesn't happen

I've just been watching and waiting since I foolishly bought in at 1.00 after the Gencaro fast track announcement for it to reappproach close enough to a buck for me to dump it with minimal losses. Close. It's KBIO. Bought 6 shares at .70 in March for $4.20. I've just enjoyed the ride while I learn the jargon of the field.

Business posted:-JASO has been trading in the ~8 area for a bit. Lots of people saying it's undervalued. I don't know about that stock specifically, but in any announced merger the stock usually trades somewhere under the announced merger price because there's always a chance the deal won't go through. These things do fall through. See TWC / Comcast. Also this is apparently a non-binding offer, so it has a long way to go before being final.
