OT: Stock trading

[Jay-Bone]

That's what I don't get. These billionaires and big banks, can make a statement or write an article about a stock, and that can drastically change the price of the stock. They can also at the same time buy or sell millions of shares. All that's ok, but retail investors driving Tesla's stock or GME, in this case, is not good and should be investigated

I've been wondering about that with AMC. It went down to $2. They get a 100 million loan and a week later its in the $4's. Between 6-7 am the last 2 days it pumped above $5 and then does the morning slide before market open then pumps again ah. Weird action. But I suppose it could just be lower afterhours volume moving it more.

They spending (debt) to continually add more data centers. They have more upside than the current data center stocks imo for that reason. But also risk.

It is a space that will be booming soon as 5G rolls out for real, and EDGE takes over. Distributed compute, storage and networking is critical to reduce latency and enable things like autonomous vehicles. If Iron Mountain is building that out, good for them. Equinix already has it.

The three big Hyperscalers realize this is a threat to them and they are also coming to the table in force. Of course they have gobs of money to throw at this.

This gme run is insane makes zero sense it’s a $35 stock at best

 

[LIuconn]

its a crowd sourced short squeeze and its gaining more steam. Chamath on board

I mean it makes zero sense based on the fundamentals. It makes some sense based on the stupid level of short positions that are out there.

The democratization of market manipulation. Hedge funds have been relying on releasing research papers and publicly blasting their short position targets for years.

Buying calls doesn’t effect stock price

Buying calls doesn’t effect stock price

Plenty of folks are clearly actually buying shares and not just call options. There's also the indirect impact of some funds trying to avoid any more price increases and settle some of their short positions.

The deeper you dive, the more you realize chainlink is everywhere and will be everywhere.

It most certainly does

This gme run is insane makes zero sense it’s a $35 stock at best

Since 2008, nothing in the market makes sense. The stock market is run by whatever the Fed does and says. It is completely detached from the real world

I've been wondering about that with AMC. It went down to $2. They get a 100 million loan and a week later its in the $4's. Between 6-7 am the last 2 days it pumped above $5 and then does the morning slide before market open then pumps again ah. Weird action. But I suppose it could just be lower afterhours volume moving it more.

Also with all the "free" money/near 0% interest rates from the Fed, any stock can blast off

From 4 - 4:45, AMC went from 4.80 to 5.56, like it was just waiting for the market to close. Last time it was over 5 was premarket.

 

[uconntoatl]

Its too risky not to hold Link or Dot

 

[huskyinfl]

I LOVE the chaos

Read about it on wallstreetbets. A guy turned 53,000 dollars into 23 million today but the way that GME is acting after closing it's probably closer to 30 million. Everyone's jumping in and cashing out quick.

I Like $DOT too

The thing to remember though about Polkadot is that it cannot execute smart contract without the chainlink oracles. Once again, chainlink is the key to decentralized finance

 

[CTBasketball]

I’m thinking about jumping on the BBBY, BB, NOK, and AMC train despite my intuition.

 

[Chin Diesel]

I started by buying what I thought were safe investments that didn't have a lot of volatility such as T, Coca Cola, other companies that have a long stable track record and give dividends. I then added a decent amount of metal stocks and mining companies for stability as a hedge.

Since then I've looked at EV companies, Green Sector Companies, and others.

$NNDM, $MVIS, $UAVS have been very good so far

As to the first part of your first part, I do like looking for large value stocks for medium to long term investments- 3 year minimum before I evaluate the purchase.

GE is intriguing me a bit right now. It's had a couple of good quarters in a row and the stock has risen in to the $11 range.

I may jump on to this one.

 

[LIuconn]

Ugh I'm still holding GE when I bought in the 30s. please buy it back up

 

[Jay-Bone]

From 4 - 4:45, AMC went from 4.80 to 5.56, like it was just waiting for the market to close. Last time it was over 5 was premarket.

and......it just went to $6.80.

 

[methodology]

There absolutely no reason gme management shouldn’t cash out and make a billion

to think earlier last year I bought it at $5 and sold it at $12.

 

[LIuconn]

@uconntoatl what chain link plays do you like?

I had it around $6-$7 and bailed on it lol. Idiot

 

[UConnSwag11]

sooo is it too late to get in on $GME??

 

[uconntoatl]

@uconntoatl what chain link plays do you like?

I'll just say this. I will be accumulating chainlink all the way to $100. In my opinion, it is the key to defi as every smart contract platform needs oracles to execute and bring in accurate real-world data. Chainlink is the superior oracle provider by a long shot. Take a look at their partnership page.

The best analogy I have is this.
The age of digital assets is like the Gold Rush. Every company is heading West to strike gold, but only a few will. Chainlink is the company that is selling the gold mining supplies/equipment to all the companies. You can't mine for gold without the critical supplies/equipment.

I got 2 free gme stocks when I signed up for robinhood. Sold at around 4.50 in may.
