Stock Market

[Mortalis5509]

See if this thread takes off. Just general discussion about individual stock, funds, or whatever.

Semi conductor manufacturing cannot keep up with the current demand and stocks / companies around that area are sky rocketing. I have been in UMC for around 2.5 months and its doubled in that time. Currently at $10.55 a share as of this post. It's been called the new AMD. I was dumb last year in Feb and sold my AMD at $45 and its double that now.

I want to learn option trading if anyone has good reading material or knows how to do it.

KO hasn't missed a dividen in 40 something years but its staying pretty flat. Sugar price in a way dictates coke price some. Usually what sugar does, coke stock will mimic it to a degree within 6 months.

NIO is doing well in the hybrid area.

What will Tesla do? I have 2 shares but made dang good off 2 shares.

Amazon making me mad. I thought it would pop due less black Friday and Christmas shopping but hasn't. Not sure what to do with it. Wish it would split to bring down the entry point.

I don't have patience/time/dedication needed for option trading, but my wife picked it up over the past year and has been having fun and some success with it. Wall Street Bets on reddit has a lot of action if you want to chat real time or just read what others are doing.

I like index funds for sectors with a lot of growth but no real winners yet. PRNT is a 3d printing ETF I'm currently holding

SPCE and TSLA are doing good. DKNG did very well for me last year, but peaked last fall.

GME and BBBY - these short squeezes are hilarious. Good lesson for some of these hedge fund managers about exposure

Gamestop is hilarious, even though I think it's dumb that physical retail locations even exist.

We talked this morning about whether or not it was too late to jump in to the BBBY fold since it was up something like 30% premarket

its coming back down now. Good time to pick some up but they're not as over-shorted as GME was (GME had 144% of total shares sitting out in short option contracts)

Ask questions. Honestly meant as a place to learn. Place to make money and invest in your future.

If I've found a good stock, ill share it.

AMZN is a mature stock. Things like black friday/Christmas shopping are part of their normal business and priced in. You won't see major swings in an established company like this outside of acquisitions, or new large contracts (for them, something like shipping contracts). But definitely not a "quick hit" stock with lots of volatility, but should offer long term steady growth. AAPL is another you should keep shares of for a long time.

I know about a lot of things, but the stock market isn't one of them.  I've had the same investment guy for over 15 years and he consistently yield a very nice ROI while managing risk.  I'm extremely happy with our current portfolio and retirements plans.

Good luck gents!

Same here.

My experience says you need extra cash, time and knowledge!

I day traded with spare money as an activity early during Rona...but eventually got out of it as I couldn't tell if it was going to boom or bust...the stress was too much, even with play money.  I did make a few bucks on it...and it'll be interesting to see how much I give to the government during tax season.  Several of the stocks I bought and sold have done very well since I quit playing...would have doubled money on some of them.

Now I buy things I use (Google, Starbucks, Intel, Heinz Kraft (what a loser of a stock), etc) with some rollover retirement cash.

New money goes into Vanguard index funds.

A guy at work plays with options, and has a formula that works for him.  He says that it takes him an hour or so every morning to get his stuff setup for the day, and then go goes on to real work.  Says he makes money, but keeps grounded on how much to invest.

Robinhood is not bad to play in. I have that along with a traditional brokerage account. They now allow you to buy partial shares, say if you have $20 and not the full $50 a share they let you buy  with the $20.

If anyone wants to play on Robinhood, I can give you a link where we both get a free share of stock.
