Ideally your stocks are going both up and down and overall you end up with like +15% at the end of the year*. Since you're likely to get some 2% days and several 1% days that means lots of chop!

*This is completely bullshit average for an average year and probably not even the right number anymore. compare yourself to SPY and QQQ to see how you are doing so far.

The building was on fire and it wasn't my fault.
I perfectly timed getting out of DWAC a couple weeks ago (the Trump not-a-scam media SPAC) as it was trading sideways in the $50 range for several months. As of today it is trading in the high $80s.

Should have trusted my first instinct that too many people will try to short the stock as a sure thing and trigger an inevitable short squeeze.

Missed opportunity for bigger gains, but I did profit a fair amount selling overpriced options on it for a couple months.

Correct. The countdown on $GOON Christmas was reset by a request for more data. The patents are still in place and increasing in number, the clinical trial sites are still generating data, the markets (USA/EU/Asia) are still ripe for widespread adoption, and GOON's partner CriTech has a 100% track record with FDA approvals. Only factor left is time...

SoFi hit it's 52 week low and just kept/keeps digging way past any kind of $13/$12.80 resistance level, looks like there's some new resistance at $12.10 but who knows what will happen the rest of this week

Their projected earnings is Feb 09, curious to see if it peaks again like it did the last couple of earnings reports, or just flatlines NDRA style. I don't think there's any SoFi specific news causing this, it's just growth stocks getting hammered today in the market, but that's only a guess

It gets delisted if it stays under $1, so they are going to reverse split which means they will cut your shares in half quarter whatever and multiply the price by that. You want them to do this instead of getting removed from the market.

They can go down so so much more, how do you think UVXY works? It didn't open at 1 billion a share.

So if I'm holding $16 worth of NDRA and they do a reverse split, that triggers a flat $39 admin fee in a lot of brokerage systems, right. Do they then sell the stock and bill me the balance

I think SoFi tried charging me for some spac conversion but I'd have to go digging for it, I think it had to do with warrants. Maybe it is just E-Trade. How do they get away with charging those fees in 2022

Edit it was SoFi communication direct from the company I held stock in: VACQU/UTS VECTOR ACQUISITION CORPORATION UNIT (now rocket lab/RKLB)

I'm thinking this applies to the subsidiary bank and not all of SoFi. Or hoping, at least.

Hesitate, and you will be lost.

pixaal posted:

Always risk the deal fails for one reason or a another. You currently have shares, is just made $18 overnight, it will slowly close that $10 gap as the deal becomes final and draws near. Do you want to keep risking that investment? If the deal busts that will crater to some new lows as people exit that were only in for the arbitrage trade.

This Risk 18 for 10 reward is purely what has happened in the last 24 hours and ignores the existing price of the share as that is more unknown but likely to get bit into. Obviously the deal could go through in 6-9 months, but do you also want to wait that long for that last $10?

Artonos posted:

After briefly looking into it the expected closing date is Microsoft's 2023 fiscal year. I don't exactly know what that means but you're likely going to have to wait a good chunk of time for the $95 so that has to be priced in somehow. Money that isn't growing isn't worth keeping in the market if it's part of your investments.

Srice posted:

I personally just sold my shares because hey it's now priced in and the acquisition won't finalize until 2023 so anything could happen in the meantime. I'd rather take a guaranteed profit now instead of waiting for something that may or may not pay off.
Thanks for the useful advice. I sold the shares today. Another driver was the fact Kotick admitted in a Letter to Staff released today that the company was going thru some "set backs" (lightly put) and the CoD title Vanguard wasn't selling that well. So it's possible the stock could drop significantly after earnings on Feb 3rd, despite the backstop of the Microsoft deal.

Regulators may also have concerns approving the deal of this size, as already noted.

But Microsoft did show their hand of what they thought a good purchase price was for ATVI. Even if the deal falls through this fares well for Activision in the future. If Kotick finally gets pressured to go that would also be a good thing, as I'm sure a more desirable CEO could be found.

Anyhow I'll be watching this stock for further opportunities.

So I took the $1.476 billion projected EBITDA with bank charter from this earnings call slide and divided it by the 799.6 million shares and came out with about $1.87, uh I guess that's called paper value, and then multiplied it by a pretty middle of the road 15x P/E and came up with a 2025 price target of $28, did I do that right



And yeah the bank license says the bank can't engage in crypto whosit, but sofi owns sofi bank, not the other way around, so there's some speculation that sofi can continue to allow crypto trading via it's investment arm, but like, you might not be able to get margin for crypto as a result? maybe? Just pure speculation.

The bank charter is conveniently timed as the very beginning of the 21 day lead up to earnings, past results don't guarantee future results, but one could argue there might be a pattern of peaks and troughs aligning with earnings:



I'll admit I did back up the truck today when it got under $12.40 and picked up two more leaps for half of what they were two weeks ago. I averaged down far enough on my stock that I think if we get to $19, I'll be about even with the spy gains since a year ago. If my $28 number is correct I might get out at $25 and start looking for something new? or maybe it'll just settle at $8.40 for a couple of quarters and I eat some losses on options

Of course as was pointed out, growth stocks are getting hammered, could really flatten out any growth that was going to happen in the short term. Or maybe people are looking for a high performing stock in a weak market and will flock to it as a meme stock, and gets a tiny synergy boost from super bowl (probably not)

no, you did not. why are you conflating "projected adjusted EBITDA" with trailing GAAP earnings? schwab's GAAP EBIDTA is more than 2x its earnings. "adjusted" EBITDA is a bullshit metric where companies add back in things such as share-based comp. there is about zero chance of sofi having both a p/e of 15 and a price of $28 in 2025.

my statement was not an "either/or": it was an "and". "there is about zero chance of sofi having both a p/e of 15 and a price of $28 in 2025."

any random small/mid-cap can get briefly zerged and zoom up 300% in price; I think we can all agree on that after 2021. I'm saying sofi as a business will not be generating the earnings to support the p/e ratio you used as a justification in your valuation estimate, at the price target you put on the stock.
