Not to take away from the AI trader bot overlord discussion, but did anyone hop onto Friday's mongoDB IPO? I was all up in that grill until they announced their $24 share price.

On the TSLA talk- I sold my shares once it became apparent that the stock price was completely detached from fundamentals and performance. I still see people in forums gushing over TSLA and shouting down naysayers and it gives me strong GTAT vibes. Especially when the company's own CEO says that their share price is, "higher than we have the right to deserve. (but fair play to Elon for having the balls to come out and say that). That's not to say that Tesla won't do well because I hope, and think, that they will succeed in the long term. But holy poo poo is it scary to put your money in a company whose hyped-up market cap has exceeded Ford's in only a matter of years.EAT FASTER!!!!!! posted:All my life it's been very comfortable being the smartest guy of the room, but it's loving exhilarating to not be the smartest guy in the room. I've been in a few places where I felt like the smartest guy in the room. It was not a good feeling because I am definitely not the smartest guy in the room. You learn so much more by surrounding yourself with people who know more than you. It is a humbling and sometimes embarrassing experience, but you'll be better off for it. melon cat fucked around with this message at 21:25 on Nov 2, 2017 |

Tokyo Sex Whale posted:It just seems to me like if electric cars take off any existing car company can probably switch production to electric for a fraction of what it’ll cost Tesla to build out. And I don’t see why there’d be much of a first-mover advantage for the cars (for the charging stations, yes). Feeling about self-driving cars is about the same. Good deal if you’re building the infrastructure or creating the standards, otherwise come to market 2 years late and license the tech from google or apple or whoever. That’s probably what all but one of the companies spending on R&D are going to end up doing. Anyway so that means Tesla’s value is pretty much all in the brand. melon cat fucked around with this message at 06:52 on Mar 16, 2019 |

I've got Square Inc. stock that's crushing it but it feels like it's becoming the new hype stock that a bunch of dummies are latching onto. Love the company and their product, but hate the way the stock is behaving. Hypefest 2018 type poo poo. Don't break the bloody ship, asswads. Go to TSLA or something.

paternity suitor posted:Nothing crazy. Puts allow you to sell for the put value. You pay for the right to lock in some price. If the price goes up they expire worthless. I want to sell some poo poo today, but I don't want to pay taxes on them this year, I want to defer those taxes until next year. So I buy some puts (and I also sell calls). Dec 31 I sell my puts for a loss (hopefully) book that this year, then Jan 1 I sell my shares and pay taxes in 2018. Also, my trading platform is asking if I want to and "Buy to Open", "Buy to Close", "Sell to Close", or Sell to Open" or "Sell to Open Covered". I tried researching what this meant online and got then got a headache. Tried reading it a second time, but then got a migraine. But, here's my crack at it: since I'd be buying a Put, I would 'Buy to Open', correct? Sorry to turn this into a Babby's First Options Trade conversation. I really just want to understand this part of Kal Torak posted:I'm in the same boat. My cost is around $16 per share and now I feel like it's super over-valued.

paternity suitor posted:Bingo Bango on the first part. Buying puts means you think the price will go down. Your downside is only limited to the price of the puts. Worst case they expire worthless. If you buy a $40 strike put and the price drops to $20, then the puts will be worth at least $20, because you have the right to sell at $40 and you can just purchase the stock for the market value of $20. I think I understand, and thanks for typing all of that out. So, let's say I Buy Puts with a $40 strike. Then SQ goes down to $20. Obviously I'd want to cash in on my right to sell for $40. At that point, I'd "Sell To Close". Is that right? My only confusion at this point is how to exercise/use my options if SQ slides. My worst nightmare is Buying Puts and holding my hands out all like, "how do I shot web" once I'm ready to use it. Kal Torak posted:You could also consider selling calls at a higher strike price. This allows you to collect some premium if it goes down or stays the same, while still participating in *some* of the upside if there is still some left. Josh Lyman posted:Things like this make me wonder if I've squandered my entire investing life by not simply buying midsize tech companies when they IPO'ed.

Droo posted:Especially late in the year like now, someone in that guy's situation might want to buy puts because he is worried about the stock being overvalued but doesn't want to realize a large capital gain until next year. So January puts could be a perfect tool to use. melon cat fucked around with this message at 05:52 on Nov 17, 2017 |

Aaaand there's the SQ correction. Down $7 from its high. On one hand, it sucks to see one of your better shares lose value, but on the other hand it's nice to see some sanity and correction in a stock that you're holding for the long term. loving tech stocks, man.

Aramis posted:In theory, the company growth should lead to increased net revenue, which should lead to bigger dividend payouts. But if A&W is aggressively expanding, then that means it's reinvesting a lot of that revenue. Ironically, you'd expect the value of the fund to really kick off if/when the company decides to stop expanding and focus on just generating cash. melon cat fucked around with this message at 00:07 on Jan 11, 2018 |

Are there any ETFs worth looking at for investing in renewables energy companies? I'd love to get in on that, but really don't know enough about the companies involved in geothermal/other alternative fuels to invest in them individually. Maybe a fund like CUT.

Cheesemaster200 posted:If crypto crashes it has absolutely zero effect on anything else. Recessions are caused by cascading effects. For example, interest rates rise, businesses can't raise capital, and then lay off workers, etc. If Bitcoin crashes, some smug 22 year old in his parent's basement may lose his life savings that he previously didn't have anyway, but it is going to have little economic effect. Markets/people are dumb and irrational. Which is why I've gotten into the habit of doing the opposite of what everyone else seems to be doing. With that said, I'm with Buffet when he says that he won't invest in the cryptocurrencies. I'll get off of my soapbox, now. melon cat fucked around with this message at 19:25 on Jan 11, 2018 |

fougera posted:Crap did I just convince myself to buy apple? quote:As much as I was doom and gloom a few posts ago, I don't think a recession is around the corner unless there is some unforeseen credit event coming up. Who knows. But there definitely will be. It's just cyclical. I still remember the years following the '07-'08 financial crisis and everyone was acting like the sky is falling and talking about how "We're just gonna have to get used to 'the new normal' of slow growth and that "the days of 15% growth are over!". Then we had a decade straight of growth. So LOL at that prospect. Every few years we go through growth, then people think the economy is "doomed", then we go back to growth. Then people think the economy is doomed. Then we repeat. So as long as you aren't investing in weird hype investments I wouldn't get caught up the "what if" recession scenarios. The market's heavy hitters are just set up to make a stupid amount of money, and even if there IS a correction they'll rebound.
