Joe Ferguson forever Posted February 17 Posted February 17 (edited) 57 minutes ago, sherpa said: I have no interest in what you think about what I do. None. You don't have any idea about my timing. What I will say is that when you have an emerging technology that is delivering, people get interested. That interest leads to speculation. That speculation leads to trading opportunities, as the prices get speculative and more importantly, volatile. That speculative trading leads to opportunities in both the issue and its derivatives, ie., options. I love the technology. I really like the trading action. All of that is cool. But it is far from the kind of market support this tech should see if it was viewed as a some panacea to our energy issues and global oil geopolitics, as you suggested. re the timing, the five year chart shows typical peaks and valleys including a peak years back that was higher than todays. you would have actually lost money if you bought then. Overall, a SPYDR would likely have outperformed it over 5 years. Edited February 17 by Joe Ferguson forever

Emerging technologies lead to volatile, speculative trades. The overarching point, absent the trading aspect, which will fund college educations, is that we have no need to import foreign energy sources, unless we want to. End.

End. you seem to have a great deal of interest in letting us know how successful this trade was for you. There was a very short window to catch a double. Bravo! The rest of your speculation is uninteresting to me.

You are the one who brought that up, but truth be told, I have done this trade over twenty times. But, you miss the point, if the discussion digresses to trading. It doesn't matter what a five year chart is. If you want to hold something, like ATT for instance, or a buy it and go fishing trade, so be it. Volatile stocks in emerging technologies present opportunities on both sides. I do that, and I like doing that. 1 1 1

Joe Ferguson forever Posted February 18 Posted February 18 18 minutes ago, sherpa said: I can help.🤩 no thanks. Have an excellent financial advisor whose tax advice and steady, strong returns are just what I need. But I play around with he market in small bits. LLY and TLRY were my big hitters. TLRY was an excellent example of investor sentiment outweighing fundamentals. no reason for it to ever go over 100 but it did. Now back to 1$. I sure don't try to time shorts tho. That's serious gambling.
Homelander Posted February 19 Posted February 19 This is absurd. They are completely out of their depth.

You can do both. You can stash the majority in "go fishing" portfolios, and take a bit and do the research and do individual issues, including options. It doesn't have to be one strategy. Chess vs. checkers.

I do both. "mad money" for the individual stocks. More like bringing $20 to the horse track expecting to lose and vowing not to bet after it's gone. I don't like the volatility of single stocks but it can be entertaining. LLY tripled for me but now is down to double because the trial on their weight loss glp 1 pill didn't have as stellar results as expected. people who got in late are now in the L column. All it takes is a small blip. Or a change in sentiment. A less effective pill over a shot could still be a big winner. I tripled on TLRY based completely on investor euphoria. Went to 40 and now is back down to single digits after people realized it was massively overvalued. Timing is difficult. sometimes you win, sometimes you lose.
sherpa Posted August 8 Posted August 8 I am not really interested in discussing personal portfolios. I do me. What I responded to was your claim that the market did not seem to agree that the technology was of significant value, and I claimed that it certainly was, and now the market has come to realize that. Not hard to do after scores of purchases by Fortune 500's who can no longer tolerate grid dependence. Time for a pause, but keep watching. A non combustion, extremely clean process that can use lng, biofuel or hydrogen, cost competitive and produced at the consumption site, ie., no grid reliance. 1
