Less volatile before a major event? What are you day trading?

[bjstare]

Not covid stocks. Learned an expensive lesson

Hate to break it to you, but this isn’t a “Covid stock” phenomenon. If you think it’s easier to trade other sectors, you may be in for another expensive lesson.

[killramos]

Can’t ever have a loss if you don’t sell.

[The_Rural_Juror]

I don't want to make people feel worse than they already do with their losses, but Covid Stocks weren't too challenging. How hard was it to go long CLX/AMZN, short HTZ? There were some no brainers available if you have the patience and discipline.

I can't ever have a Honda Fit if I don't buy. :(

I need a BBQ still. Honda Fit Gang vs BBQ Roasted Smokie Gang.

There’s investing and there’s action. I am not good at action. I invest like playing $2 blackjack sipping on free pop. Just chilling.

Would have worked well on them TSLA weeklies this week. Profit on both ends :rofl:

Depends on the premiums. TSLA options were very expensive these past few weeks. I can cover implied volatility in one of my future troll sessions.
I am straddling on whether to join the Honda Fit Gang or the BBQ gang. Can't enjoy all the good things in life.

just chinese stock NIO, should have sold when it was high 20$ but got greedy and didn't put any stop loss
might play more when I see some good opportunity

[The_Rural_Juror]

Nio is a legit good company.
Stop losses are like wearing boxers underneath your speedo at the pool.

I was looking at low mileage Honda Fits online on the 2nd gen (09-14).
A couple years ago, I couldn't even sell my 2011 Fit for $10,500 and it had like 65k I think. So glad it didn't sell as it saved us a ton of money on gas over the years.

Now I see low mileage examples going for $12k online.

Fits are a good short term investment :rofl:

Sold position today for 27% gain. Moved money into ALGT @109.96

Sold ALGT this morning @ $143.35 for just over a 30% gain. Might put it back into another airline on a couple weeks.

[CompletelyNumb]

Snowflake IPO eh.

My friends and I: "This is so overpriced, but hype will make it a great pump and dump, let's buy in and sell after a few hours".

First available shares: $275 :barf:

[mr2mike]

$275?? Insane. IPO holders are going to dump instantly.

No, but I have Cenovus.

[ExtraSlow]

No, but I have Cenovus.

Sorry for your loss.

Haha. Yeah well I’d already lost a lot on this. Not much left to lose now. But it’ll be interesting to watch.

Oil and gas stocks are a kick in the sack.

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-10-25/cenovus-energy-to-combine-with-husky-energy-in-all-stock-deal

I was about to pull the trigger on Husky in a big way, but never got around to it. I thought they were under valued for a company with downstream fuel sales and not stuck totally in heavy oil. I was positive they would get bought but I thought companies like Cenovus and MEG would slowly die.
Cenovus buying them comes as a huge shock to me and I also never thought the sale would be in stock. I figured Suncor would but then for cash or maybe CNRL.

I'll have to check how I would've done based on the stock price of Cenovus and how complicated the algorithm is.
I was going to buy at about $3.20

[killramos]

Honestly you are doing well to stay as far away from that transaction as humanly possible.

[roopi]

I bought HSE at $3.47 and I don't feel it was a bad decision. I don't know if I will hold onto it after tomorrow though.

[roopi]

Decided to buy more HSE today at $3.34. Roll the dice.

No, I like it but didn't bother to do a deep dive. NIO will likely get a few more analyst upgrades in the upcoming months.
Good on you to cash out. :)

[16hypen3sp]

Sona got smoked! FDA politics at play? De-risked from that one a while ago but still have a small position. Still green for me but damn that one cut deep.

NIO's great as long as they play nice with the government. Xpeng is probably a better product.

yeah might start looking into XPEV instead as NIO is hard to predict now. I buy some NIO for quick gain instead it just keeps going up.

Bought a bunch of YPF SA today

Go Argentina ;)

[arcticcat522]

Before it ran up 15%?

[BavarianBeast]

Unfortunately I was a bit late, bought at $4.64. Only up a couple points now

[ExtraSlow]

Like 10 years ago I did a 1 day consultation with ypf about the Vaca muerta field when they wanted to fact check some of the things thier service companies were saying. They seemed to find my ideas enthralling, but then again, everyone does.

So if CCP is cracking down on VIEs cause ol’Jack flew a little too close to the sun... do all Chinese stonks continue to drop?

XPEV went up like crazy after their ER, wished I bought some when it was in the 20-30 range but was too busy accumulating NIO.
Hope Xpeng's earning is an indication of what Nio's release might be next week.

[The_Rural_Juror]

and LI. Waiting for all the EV stonkies to get out of those after earnings and back to TSLA. Stimulus bill would be fantastic too. :p

I'm into HPQ lately. Huge potential for battery tech. Up major today on no news. Something is up.

Check it out if you dare.

[16hypen3sp]

Uh oh...

Wouldn't expect anything less. That's Health Canada for you lol. Pretty crazy considering they have that new director that is co-chair for Canada's COVID-19 response. I no longer have a position but thinking about possibly jumping back in with a small amount if it get's down to $.80. Been keeping an eye on it. Glad I made money on it when I did but jesus they really fucked something up along the way.

Was told by someone a few months ago in the mess hall of a work camp to check into this. Never did buy any but wish I did lol.

Anyone buying into any the the Vaccine manufacturers? I see Moderna had a sizeable drop today, curious to see if its a good time to get in or not

[BavarianBeast]

I got into TMO (Thermo Fischer Scientific) today. More the fill and finish of the vaccine but thinking it can have some upside in the next year or two.

I guess this is more of a long term than short term investment. I'm looking to buy into a TSX index fund but want to get in at a lower price so would like to sell put options to get in and paid while I wait.

So what you’re saying is... you expect some sort of growth out of Canada??? :rofl:

Isn’t there only like a handful of Canadian corps even worth holding? Why not just replicate a distilled version of the index with the top name from each sector or something?

[ExtraSlow]

CNQ, RY, NA, T, POW, CU, TA, PPL, ALA

That's about it. Right?

[ercchry]

SHOP!! But like, play the nyse version... but then again, if you’re writing the options the Canadian spreads are insane

[ExtraSlow]

Maybe there's a tenth decent stock in this entire country. But hell I wouldn't even hold all ten of these individually.
