Dipping my toes into the stock market game with $1,000. Put 50% of it on VUZI for a long play, 25% into CUK because old vaccinated people getting on those boats soon, and then a bit into VOE to see stable green on my watchlist and NOK for the memes and I was buying the dip. (edit: I got only $20 worth of NOK I'm not being serious)

I mostly only bought stocks that either have company buyout potential or recovery stocks that might come back during the summer, so I'm not as concerned about the short term dips... I'm not... it's cool...

Any good recovery stocks to look into? Trying to just do a 'set and forget' and not become a terrible day trader. I got some AHT (as per poster here) and CUK (old people + vaccines = cruises coming back?).

AHT should still climb quite a bit, shouldn't it? Hopefully when everyone is vaccinated it should to back to it's pre-pandemic levels? It's still nowhere near those levels. Or am I wrong (again)?
I even looked at some charts!

I looked at various charts as well (AHT, CCL, CUK, RYCEY, etc) and all of them are less than half of their pre-pandemic levels. It doesn't mean they'll ever recover to that point, since some of them were on a downward trend even before the pandemic, but I'm willing to bet there's a lot of people who have been cooped up who will want to be more outgoing in the near future. I'm thinking restrictions will be lifted (both on govt level and business level) as early as this summer.

VUZI running hot this week, got down to 18 but at 25 now. Good Q4 earnings, and a big order the other day. I'm like 33 @ 21.13 (was 25 @ 21.69 but i bought more shares at 18/19) and I think either they'll scale up or get bought out. This is a new peak though so it might oscillate back down.

The entire market tumbled by the end of the day, would probably not draw any conclusions for any individual ETFs/stocks. (VUZI and AHT survived, so they may get a bump tomorrow)

Everything being down does actually make it a good time to come in though right? It would be different if just one thing was down.

My opinion is that it's a big media blitz to pump the price and allow their institutional investors to exercise warrants and cash out.

You are probably right about all this. Not sure how but I'll try to be cautious about this.

I figured this is how it would end. At least AMC is doing something to support their business.

VUZI got pumped by CNBC from $12-$28 all week (assisted by ARK/MOON buying about 10% of the company at an average cost basis of roughly 18).

After-close Friday they filed that they granted 5m shares worth of 19 strike call options to the CEO/CFO as a bonus, exercisable and salable immediately. Basically a ~$30-40m bonus depending on how fast they can dump it Monday.

I don't know how to read these filings, but is VUZI basically about to sell a bunch of stock to pay its leaders? It closed at 28.81 (28.48 after market) so maybe I'll just take my winnings and put in a $28 stop loss.

edit: Order Type: Stop Limit on TDA I assume.

All my stocks are dying, and because I messed up and bought the wrong thing and immediately sold it, all my funds are tied up for (1? 2?) more days, so I can't even throw away what little gambling money I have left at all these cratering stocks.

I dont understand where that AHT run came from. They dont have any good news and probably wont for a while. It was nice to see some green though.

It probably just got too low and people are buying the dip. They're all holding it for the same reason we are, after all. I probably would've bought more under $2 if I hadn't already decided I hit my limit of gambling money.

AHT continues its meteoric rise today, going from like 1.80-1.90 to 2.80 this week. I'm still actually down on it overall, but not as much as before.

AHT up 20% already just today. It's now gone from 1.90 to 3.30 in under a week. Not sure what's going on but I'm not complaining, it's basically back to where it was when I bought it last month.

AHT on the rise again, I still think it's too early by a month or two to think it's a trend, but the increased vaccination rates and various states deciding to open back up fully, for better or worse, could be contributing.

From $2 last month to $4 now, maybe the dividend will be back sooner than I thought, like before Summer even ends.

If RYCEY returns to half its value pre-covid I'm putting in a pool.

Just killed all of my bullshit losses (SNDL) and a shitload of gains (AMC and BBW and VSTO) and now I have a ludicrous pure degenerate gambling portfolio of just $GOON, RYCEY, and AHT.

AHT and RYCEY (both of which I also have) are actually not that degen, there are fundamentals there. All the techbro/biotech stocks are degen, like SENS... I'll probably dump my SENS if nothing happens with it by the end of Summer.

AHT isn't a moon stock. It was an $80 stock that split 10 to 1 so its actual pre-pandemic value is $8 and it's almost there. It has a lot of debt too. at 3.10 it did even more stock diluting with a shares offering a couple months ago. Those of us who bought early thought it would go to around $8 by Summer and that's about it. There was some added value in the fact it used to give dividends and might again if it recovers more.

I'm actually considering averaging down my cost basis here. I'll have to see how low it goes but if it gets into 2.xx range I'm going in deeper. And, uh, making sure I end with a multiple of 10.

dipwood

Remember that they did a 1:10 stock split originally, this is them trying to back to how things were. It's likely a dividend will be added at some point too. After the reverse split it can go back to its previous value of around $80. They made some good points about institutional lenders being unable to participate due to the price. This also solves the complaint of 'the stock is too diluted' or whatever. Also this is not financial advice and I don't know what I'm talking about. When I got in back in March, my cost basis was around 3.33.

I'm in the same boat with CUK. It's basically CCL but it has a funny name. I was expecting cruises to come back by now (or at least the stocks) but with Delta variant and Europe's slow roll out, not sure how long it will take.

Or if it will even affect the stock at all.

ASPS exploded recently, I got in at ~8.50. I suspect it might be crashing back down to a more normal price, but I assume I correctly put a an order in as:

TD Ameritrade: Sell - Type: Stop Market - Act Price (less than current market price) ? Or should I be doing the same thing but with a Stop Limit?

Dumped all my trash stocks to buy SoFi on the cheap, and then it dropped another dollar. But I'm not planning on touching this again for several months so I guess it's a good long-term play? Some company gave it a $21 price target.

SoFi crushed estimates in earnings call.

Which means naturally it's time for the stock to tumble again.
