LVS had an almost 3% gain today, that's my only Vegas play, but I think I need to do more. Vegas made more off gamblers last month than any month in history I read in the news. In a pandemic, that's nuts!

#14703 2 years ago
Quoted from nwpinball:

I think a bunch of us bought and sold AMC back when it was first hyped and most for a nice profit, much like I did with GME. But only a few people have the patience to daytrade it and I can't see holding it still at this point.
My biggest earners over the past few months are: AAPL, PYPL, FSK, PFE, and BITF

I still have a number of my shares that I bought back in January.

To what end? Not being snarky. I have a friend that still holds. Rides every wave up (and let’s me know it’s on the move again) and then rides it back down. He seemingly has not exit strategy nor the desire to try and sell a wave, buy back on a dip (this time with more shares) and do it again.

Bad day for LCID, but not near as bad as pre trading hours.

#14708 2 years ago

ABBV taking a hit today -10% over nothing. Grabbed some shares and got to lower my basis quite a bit

#14709 2 years ago
Quoted from DCFAN:

Is it the rumor that phones may have satellite connection capabilities for areas where there is otherwise no signal?

This rumor was such BS, and really based on bad assumptions. Anyone who knows anything about telco industry should have seen through that immediately, but hey someone made money with that move

#14710 2 years ago

Any reason pins climbing today?

As an EE I don’t see any reason this would not work eventually:

I sell a lot of puts and covered calls against the volatility for a regular income stream.

#14713 2 years ago

Sure, there are companies like AST Spacemobile and Lynk working on direct to mobile phone satellite service but what Globalstar has is not related to that. Globalstar has spectrum that's allocated for terretrial mobile operations and the next gen Qualcomm chipset supports that band -> next iPhone was assumed to be based on that chipset -> Globalstar also has satellite service (however, that's not related to the spectrum band they have) -> hence next iPhone must connect to Globalstar satellites.
So I agree that phones can possibly connect to satellite service in the future, but this train of thought that was applied in GSATs case was a huge stretch of imagination IMHO

Quoted from jonesjb:

Cool. With the high volatility the premiums can probably be pretty sweet.

#14715 2 years ago

I bought a LEAPS in SLQT last week. I think I'm going to see how it opens on Tuesday before selling any calls against it.

#14716 2 years ago

I'm sure He is waiting for the MOASS.
I bought in way too high and have been holding 100 shares at around $57.00. Im considering cutting my losses and moving on but the Darn stock won't return to my level. I have no idea if a massive once in a lifetime short squeeze is on the horizon for this stock but there sure is a lot of smoke out there surrounding this rumor and the daily volume and message volume is massive around AMC so.....who knows?!?!
The message boards constantly encourage all "Apes to just HODL" and I know a lot of people who are dong just that.

Yep! And the underlying seems to trend with some relatively consistent support and resistance.

Market option report...Caesar's Entertainment CZR maybe actionable

https://www.schwab.com/resource-center/insights/content/todays-options-market-update?cmp=em-RBL

PS: I think Moderna is setting up to run up to the previous week's 415 range again, it supposedly one if the most shorted stocks so need tight stops.

#14719 2 years ago

It's gratifying to see a 30% gain in ZVIA (Zevia) and 20% in GRN (offset carbon) so soon, but these are long-term plays. As in years. Just happy to sit, sip, and breathe a little easier for now.

Eventually the big guys could get into the stevia-soda game, but right now the Z is best-positioned for growth. Time to pop a ginger ale... *barp*

EDIT 9/10/2021: Haha -ouch- already back to the baseline again. Not worried about it. This is a long game for a unique and good product. Let's see what 2022 looks like.

#14720 2 years ago

Not stock related but my favorite new beverage is Pricklee cactus water. Stuff is phenomenal and lower calorie than coconut water.

#14721 2 years ago

CZR casino options were bang on....so was MRNA. I wish it was this easy all the time. Sold MRNA +25 bucks. CZR up +7, sold half.

Yes thank you for your Schwab post from last week, @kvan99. I had a read of the linked article and decided to go long on some $CZR options. I owe you a drink!

#14723 2 years ago

Some heavy call activity for Nucor, out a few months but looks solid. FB is getting some unusual activity as well. Pullbacks can be used to get in both. Use caution a lot of talk about pullback in the media...so just use tight stops and small bets for now.

If you want a tech play, I’m betting DOCN hits $100 by the end of the year.

Ever notice when the market slows, so do the “hot pick” forums spanning the internet.

It’s easy to be a genius in a bull market. You can pick almost anything. Market efficiency makes pricing a breeze… almost no need to do any homework. After all, will you do better than rooms full of supercomputers and analysts making forecasts as their full-time jobs? Not likely.

UPST has done well, regardless. The rest are still puttering along through the September slog.

My personal “soda disruptor” pick ZVIA is down again. Might add a bit more.

I’ve tried those Stevia-sodas. They’re so super sweet it’s unpalatable. I hope you can get utility out of it, but when you have a party and the stevia-soda remains untouched after one can, it’s a good indication most folks don’t like it.

This happened at your party?

Zevia is being consumed here and several guests have been delighted that we offer them alongside the other usual choices.

I don’t find Zevia to be any sweeter than typical soda. Many flavors less so, like Mountain Zevia which some prefer over the original (less syrupy, more sparkly).

It’s a disruptor play. They’re branching into teas, mixers, and energy drinks too. People still adore their liquid birthday cake… but healthier options across the spectrum are gaining ground as traditional sodas lose market share. So they’re on trend… just have to ride it out.

Personally, I like and understand the product, so I hope they continue to gain traction.

Based on what metrics?

Profit Margin -5.67%
Operating Margin -5.38%
EPS -36.75
Cash flow -592k
EBITDA -149.57

I am not saying you are wrong, just looking to understand your basis that this company is a value and should buy more shares

Like every other company posted in this forum. The product is solid, I prefer it over actual soda, way less sugar. Will they make it as a profitable company? Who knows at this point.

Zevia is still an emerging growth company. Fundamentals are not the story right now. 32% annualized growth, retail sales, online sales through Amazon, same store sales, and retail carriers all up over the past 14 years consecutively.

This jibes with the overall trend of Gen Z wanting healthier options, as well as a bit of fun & increasing share of stevia products in general.

On trend and growing. Still way early… this ain’t no day trade for me.

#14733 2 years ago
Quoted from Isochronic_Frost:

I’ve tried those Stevia-sodas.

The Friend who got me in to Trading was really hot on Stevia in 2010, buying up who he thought would win the major Distributor rights.
The Cane Sugar Cartel was strong then, keeping a lid on growth to what could be an amazing sugar substitute.
9 years passed and I first noticed a Coke product containing partial Stevia.
Thought to myself well, it's finally happening. Wonder if my Friend held on to all those early bets.

I've lost my ass on ZVIA over the past few weeks. Fortunately, I got in on the IPO of Dutch Bros. (BROS) and have more than made up for the ppp of ZVIA. May just sell at a loss and buy more BROS.

The car and walk up lines at virtually every Dutch Bros. in Las Vegas are like Chick-Fil-A.

So they have been in business for 14 years and still lose money?

#14737 2 years ago
Quoted from BMore-Pinball:

Yep. The drink market is extremely competitive and a real slog for newcomers. The big guys have tight locks on shelf space, distribution, advertising, retail placement, etc. But the profit margins are absolutely enormous once market penetration crosses the mark... hence why so many people want to launch their own energy drink, brand, etc. but can't get going out of the gate.

Thus far, no one else has an answer for what Zevia offers, nor more experience developing a competitive stevia product. In 2020 they took over the #1 carbonated soda brand sold on Amazon... this is not insignificant.

I'm not worried about profits right now. It's not a revenue game at this stage, it's all about growth. Zevia is still emerging and the trends are looking quite sunny compared to the overall beverage market:

zeev (resized).jpgzeev (resized).jpg

Another wrinkle: Coke & Pepsi have decades-long agreements with corn syrup producers. They're locked in and can't pivot so easily toward a product which would undercut their baseline and possibly endanger existing production agreements.

Of course, Coke could launch a fleet of stevia products if they wanted to. Same for Pepsi. Maybe Zevia's 32% year-on-year growth will stall out before the curve goes vertical? Well, that's investing for ya. *shrug* no risk, no reward.

All I know is that Zevia is a good product with a competitive and steadily growing position with a wide array of new products... and hey... I happen to really like it. It's like having your cake and eating it too. Haven't touched soda for a decade until now, and I missed it.

As always, invest, don't gamble, and try to stick with things you understand and buy companies which make "real understandable things" as Berkshire tends to do. I've had family members lose their retirement savings in 2008 due to a number of expensive "hot stock tips" which of course couldn't lose in a bull market. Remember, market efficiency works to your advantage. Unless you fundamentally understand a product and/or have some kind of inside information which makes a substantial impact, thousands of brilliant analysts and equity funds are already many miles ahead of you. I've also known more than a few day traders who are now driving for Uber Eats. Tread carefully, y'all.

Come on, that was hilarious. I laughed out loud when I read it. He has some great tips and insight for sure, but it's always laced with a bunch of political bs, alot of hyping a few stocks that may or may not end up doing well and tossing out a few unneeded insults to others, that post kinda nailed it in a funny way. He'd probably gain alot more clients if he dropped the bs instead of bragging how his liberal clients put up with it because his advice is so great, those kind of comments just rub people the wrong way.

I thought it was funny too!
ICE is really a good guy. You just have too....
Warm up to him.
I took his MAC recommendation, I follow reits, and this one was cheap. Buying at 8 and 10, a no-brainer, I made good money. Granted, 3,5,8 months holds. I knew the high and got it right.
Still holding on SPG.

He does have a point. He does well with finding tax shelters for libs, while they scream tax the rich, or not so rich, who can't afford his services.
