Logged in to TD this morning hoping to snag a small position but message came up saying there were insufficient shares to buy.

I knew Levi was going to get a surge this morning but missing out on this IPO isn't a big deal for me.

Next one to look out for is Lyft and Uber.

@BavarianBeast were you able to get a position?

News reports were saying they valued their own stock at $17, higher than the expected 14-16. Now it's at like ~$23?

Yeah hovering around $22-23. A good 35% ROI if you got in at $17.

Nope, missed this one unfortunately. Will watch over the next few weeks and if dips below $19 I will accumulate shares.

I wouldnt touch Lyft or Uber with a 30ft pole. Dumping money into companies that lose billions of dollars each year does not sound like a good investment decision imo. I don’t think those companies will ever figure out how to be profitable lol.

Encourage everyone who is interested in a potential huge winner, check out CLSD clearside biomedical.Undervalued and will be generating some major revenue here shortly with FDA approval of a new drug + other shit in pipeline. Do your DD, but I'm in deep on this one as an extremely risky play,but upside could be 600%+ easily.

[rx7boi]

I would agree with that assessment. You always want to look at fundamentals and do your due diligence but I only mentioned Lyft and Uber since they're one of the next big IPO's.

Will look into CLSD, thanks for the suggestion.

You have a pharma fetish too eh? We should talk. I mostly screen for them using options pricing though, I don't actually read the industry until something makes the radar numbers wise.

I'll check Clearside tomorrow when the bid/asks are up.

If you like to read, find out why PTI (Proteostasis Therapeutics) has cosmic premiums. I almost did a buywrite on CNAT, it's down after hours now 46%. The breakeven on the April $5 buywrite was $2.25ish, now trading $1.50ish. But to be fair, it also rallied from 1.50 up to 3.00 since December.

*edit.. Disagree with the assessment on buying IPO's for companies that are losing money: make money or not, they are huge names that every institutional investor is going to need in their portfolio. The companies may lose money, but the demand for their stock will be insane. Speaking from experience: I started the Tesla thread that criticized its absurd valuations. Had I shorted it, I would have gone bankrupt a while ago, and multiple times over. The markets can remain irrational for longer than you can remain solvent.

[BavarianBeast]

I used to have about 50% of my portfolio in Biotech and hit huge with Ariad Pharmaceuticals which I posted frequently here about 2-3 years ago. Definitely have a pharma fetish, but have been out for the most part since my big break.

I'll definitely look into PTI now,thanks for the tip.

Fair enough, but I'm thinking Lyft and Uber will look a lot like SNAP when they hit the market. Wonder how Tesla's ride share company will look like when it's released late this year or early 2020.

Gold

Havent post on PM for quite some time, last post was probably back when gold hit 1160 Aug/Sep 2018, I do believe I commented the convergence target regardless of trend will bring it back to retest 1240 and breaking above this area yields a major reversal (bottom in at 1160), looking back it just kept grinding higher. Now it does look like a completed 5 waves off 1160 and so the next expectation is to see gold drop back into the 1230-1270 area. Some sort of H&S with neckline is forming. Would like to see the current bounce is nothing more than a counter trend wave b follow by a wave c. No doubt, due to Fed pausing on rate hikes this year and the abolishing the talk from 2008 that the Fed will be able to unwind the trillions dollars injection should help solidify the health of Gold as once inflation picks up, Gold will probably be the first to sniff it out.

SPX

key area must hold 2812 and 2800, any close below this would yield the start of a big decline in the coming weeks. TLT also just broke out in a wave 3 fashion which further adds fuel to the bearish stock market outlook.

Edit: now at 2812 broken. if it does under 2800 then its full bearish mode

Took a small position on CYCC. They are working on a breast cancer treatment and have no debt. Price target of $7 according to some analysts.

Took a look into this and looks like a decent dice roll. Moved a little money into it, thx for tip.

[brucebanner]

As stated earlier in the thread I'm super new to trading.

Sold my first position today, up 5%.

[Misterman]

Picked up 1000 shares of Pembina on the dip yesterday, flipped it immediately today for about 450$ profit. Bought another 100 shares of Boeing on the dip to cut my average share price.

Ditto. Crazy to look back and see share prices over $600. Penny stock now but even a small jump would be nice

I hope nobody is still holding GOOS.

[msommers]

Not sure what's causing the drop. Got this low in December and shot up to into the 70's a couple months later...Hmmm maybe I will get back in it...

[rx7boi]

Rough ride for sure. I got greedy and held on near the end of February before it started going down. Got out of it, same with a couple of other members I talked to.

Better to take a hit than to hold onto something which can keep plummeting.

[msommers]

Get out of Quaker, Kellogg's, and General Mills while you can:

I got out of GOOS the other day as well. I feel my stress level is substantially lower because of it. I'm not looking back either. Removed the ticker off my stocks app. Still in DIS, ROOT and CNQ. Looking to buy into something else now. Lyft or Uber IPO?

And if you're not in it, get some cash ready to get into it.

Time to see if this starts rebounding Boeing stock.
