Stock market has been garbage this year. Hedge funds still haven’t delivered shares due to shorting stocks like GME, AMC, BB, etc. There’s like 500 million shares that need to be purchased on AMC. They’re currently trying to drive the price down so when they buy back their shares it’s at less of a loss.

Clearly, GME, AMC, BB, etc are aberrations unreflective of broadly diverse, global stock markets. Similarly,, many a WFA which unreasonably spiked last year, and a few too many hyper-aggressive SPACs do not reflect the entire "stock market".

As others belatedly started buying financials, materials, industrials, semis, select transportations, non-SARS-2 medical equipment, some emerging markets (e.g., VN, IN; less so mainland so far), lg cap value, initially small caps and more mid caps now, the "stock market" has been far from garbage for others. On the contrary, pretty darn good. Timing, selection, breadth of "stock market" perspective and exposure matter.

More likely it has been "garbage" for day traders and not for investors. NVDA did me a solid today, up 5.62%, but that's because I've been holding it through the down times as well.
 
BCTX what is holding this back? Positive news everywhere, just the market forces of the day?

A slow decline now a big dip in SENS - any of its faithful have deets on why?
Expand ...
I finally bought into SENS. My plan is to sell covered calls against my shares for May and June. To risky for July. I am a Type1. August is what I am projecting for FDA approval on the 180 day Eversense CGM. It could happen sooner. I bought when the company locked employees into a $2.58 compensation related purchase price over the course of several years. Also key insiders are now locked in @ $2.58. These indicators are VERY bullish long term.

The short interest and a few other things are causing the dip and downward pressure. I wear Dexcom G6 but believe SENS will take a solid part of the market share in the next several years. I am hoping it continues to pull back to $1.90 where the whales are already loaded up.

Likewise, yet I bought NVDA as a LT hold near 2020 lows on April Fool's Day 2020. Up again today, but 2 years is a long time until NVDA's newly promised ARM chips are projected to hit the market. Consequently, yesterday's 5% AMD dip and Lisa Su's leadership prompted adding more AMD for LT hold.
 
JNJ: Overreaction? Reportedly, may have impacted six (6) females b/tw 18-48 years old. After 7 million JNJ SARS-2 innoculations, six (6) potentially related albeit unconfirmed clotting issues. Tragic for 1 family, yet only 1 death. Interestingly, similar clotting concerns exist with females using contraceptives. Additionally, it's unclear whether the purported JNJ clotting risk even matches general risks of other SARS-2 vaccines.

Nonetheless appropriate CDC, FDA and JNJ caution. Anecdotal, yet my wife in the age range experienced no significant issues. Almost sold some MRNA yet resisted on resulting spike, but added more JNJ to LT retirement hold. SARS-2 or not, the US and average global population's not getting younger.

Yeah but it is also on pause in Europe. The issue is the same as the Aztra Zeneca vaccine. So that ups the numbers affected (which are probably under-reported). Lots of speculation, including (a) it seems to affect younger women (b) birth control pills have some issues too may lead to: (c) perhaps the combination is contra-indicated. They are chasing it down, so the pause makes sense while they do.

Yup, "appropriate caution" as specifically noted in prior post. 6 youngish women / Seven million total JNJ inoculations in the US ==> Identify if any or rule out any direct relationship, refrain from inoculating any confirmed demographic, potentially re-instate EUA for far larger remainder of population. Yup, the pause makes sense.

unless it's sarcasm, the j+j pause does not make sense, mostly due to unnecessary discomfort it can cause for some who have already taken it. leaving that aside, you may enjoy this narrative for the current equity market.

Reasonable clinical review, not the least bit sarcastic. However, some people potentially now experiencing what's termed as unnecessary discomfort were likely among many who opted out of MRNA and PFE with their own possible concerns. What will be interesting to learn is how many 18-48 year olds on the pill have entirely ignored reportedly similar clotting side affect notices on their contraceptive packaging.

Yup, it's not as if Archegos, Melvin, and other institutional investors (possibly even including Wood) and CS, NMR and other PBs have been alone in massive bets of varied risk and may still be exposed to various degrees. Not touching the article's reference to Hwang's cited religious investment inspirations. Upcoming weeks-months may be interesting. Ideally, not too harshly for day traders and LT investors alike and hopefully favorably overall. Reasonably hedged (USD; US & global markets) and less USD-dependent than many Yanks, I sure hope some puts go unexercised.

Took me a while to get involved but so glad I took your advice last summer and bought $LINK. Have added 5 others along the way and I’m really excited about the future. Thanks again, I owe you a DM soon.

Congrats.

I'm down 3.5% today overall. ABML, HQGE, MVIS, NNDM, PLUG, RIDE, UAVS, WKHS all doggin' it. Almost everything in my portfolio is in the red.
 
At least all of my crypto has covered my SENS losses :)

Thought I was a moron for buying 20,000 doge after I missed the first runup.
