I did my DD, this was the article that sparked my interest: https://www.moneyshow.com/articles/t...0-avanex-avxl/

The 30% I was referring to went into CLSD and its sitting just over 2x return.

It’s an intriguing prospect - especially with its Alzheimer medication.... if it’s pipeline concerning the debilitating neurological diseases does click then the returns could be astronomical. I'm in for a smallish position and will be adding more!

Swing trading NIO is a gold mine. Minimum 20% every few weeks.

[BavarianBeast]

Good week fellas

[phreezee]

Moved money to FCEL when NIO didn't drop last week and it payed off 16%.

Nice day for BYND, out at $126. Hoping for another entry under $110.

Just locked in a 25% gain on $SHOP.

Going to buy back in after the pullback.

This fucking stock.

This fucking stock.

Haha, I know man. I was waiting for a pullback but it's climbing to the moon.

That said, could always jump back in but it's hard to gauge in the short term when this gravy train will end.

I'd rather miss out on gains since most of my portfolio is in index funds anyway so I'll always have something to be happy about.

If I was to get back into $SHOP at its current price, it will be a long term hold.

Doesn't that make no sense to anybody?

S&P stocks are at insane evaluations and gains, ask yourself what has Home Depot or Nike done in the last ten years to result in a 900+ % plus increase from 2008

[rx7boi]

I was probably trying to tie too many thoughts together at the same time. My couch potato index funds aren't to be touched for the next 20+ years.

The point is that if I were to buy $SHOP now, it wouldn't be for swing trading purposes as it was before.

You're right though, the valuations are insane and right now and it's a tougher time to be a value investor.

At a quick glance, Home Depot has increased Sales, Profit, Net Earnings and repurchased billions of their stock back.
Look at their annual financial reports. https://ir.homedepot.com/~/media/Fil...Report2018.pdf

Nike has done the same, with exception to 2018 EPS. Their dividend has increased every single year in the last 10 years.

Home Depot isn't even the worst bubble in the S&P500 I don't understand how anybody looks at these charts and isn't at least cautious with how they're trading these stocks. Price discovery means nothing anymore, and if I had to guess I bet most people aren't looking just throwing money at passive investing

What story does that increase tell you?

If you're trying to invest in HD or Nike or a bunch of other S&P500 names, you probably have missed the boat. Just be cautious, and set stop loses.

However, just like all bubbles, who knows how long it will keep inflating, and the more it inflates the worse it will be when we have a drastic market correction, one that we haven't have in over 10 years.

So it's just a market psychology driven bubble?

Agreed. Low interest rates for a long time have driven stock prices overly high. We saw what happened when the Fed tried to bump them up one notch December 2018. Trump browbeat the Fed into dropping them down again to keep the party going. I don't know how it will play out, but continuous lowering of interest rates can't last forever.

It's all how these stocks are tied to these index funds and ETF's. These index funds move billions and billions of dollars a day. The stock's themselves often move less than 10 million a day in trading volume.

HD as an example, 10 day volume average is 5.8 Million. (Most move less than 5 Million Dollars a day) What happens if these index funds capitulate and there is no trading volume in the stocks to absorb the stocks being sold off?

It's simply the January effect. February everything will go down 58.4%.

Are you suggesting that index funds are significant participants in price discovery?
