Economy stock talk v7, meme stocks go up

[BIKES!]

Oh, look at this, FDA gives Moderna phase 2. Wow, look at stock jump 12%. Guys, this is a bloodbath, get out!

Let’s not trade off information but let’s trade based on our own opinion of Science.

Thanks brotha, I was trying to forget...

Moderna with another huge pump; back to the highs.
Musk on Rogan debuting at Noon Eastern. Gonna try to speed watch it and wait for some bullshit inside it.

Cramer literally won't shut the fuck up about Beyond Meat on CNBC it's scary. The pea protein industry is loaded with propaganda money. It's like....yall realize we can eat other things besides weird puree fake meat and eat vegetables right? Oh wait no cause you're paying people to sell your shit. Watched that Netflix doc GameChanger and got weird peaprotein vibes.

i've found the pea protein thing to be fascinating. like... i just don't get it. at all. pea protein kind of sucks, it's amino profile is meh. it's an incomplete protein and needs to be complemented.

compared to soy (complete protein, high quality, good amino profile, more/less as cheap as pea), it's just shit.

lolz @ spce. i should have waited a day before placing that call (or just selling outright). oh, well.

probably not making many moves today. unless the market gets volatile. saw irm killed their earnings (which i expected, but i had/have no clue on guidance) almost regret not picking up some yesterday for $22.

Holy shit this Joe Rogan podcast is fucking scary with Musk.
Rogan within 5 minutes sucking him off telling people Musk deserves billions of dollars but finance people don't and how he is a different kind of billionaire because he builds stuff. Holy shit lol. Like....YOU GOT ALL THE MONEY FROM GOVERNMENT SUBSIDIES AND THE ENDORSEMENT OF INVESTORS AND WORKERS MAKE YOUR SHIT WHILE YOU SPEND 2 HRS ON A PODCAST TALKING ABOUT DMT.
His braindead followers must be eating this up.

Loaded some NCLH for a flip. Cramer interview tonight and just said 18 months no sailing and could still survive according to WSJ.
edit: woot this is up 4% since I posted.

Of course I bring up NGD and leave it alone for other trades and miss 15% in action in the 2 days.

 

[rob mafia]

was expecting more movement from amd today (investor's meeting, some new product launches)

 

[brackis1]

I truly don't understand Carvana.
They run a money losing car selling service and have fuckloads of debt but a market cap of 15 billion. Swung up 12% todag. Went all the way from 100 down to 20 and now back to 100.

 

[rob mafia]

bought the slow dip on irm and sold a call for next week. probably should have sold a put, instead, but whatever

 

[rob mafia]

spwr beat on eps/rev, but pulled their guidance. i hedged on this by selling calls for tomorrow at 8 and 9, some later dated calls (9+), and puts.

when in doubt, shotgun?

Whomever through out Blackberry about a month ago, Thank you.

 

[brackis1]

lol just flipped a bunch of Fireeye thanks pumpers!

 

[brackis1]

Damn let my Norwegian go too early. Up 8% premarket.

automobile dejavu. Bought AXL. Earnings were shit but still was up 12% premarket...sold it....goes up another 20+ % -_-

 

[rob mafia]

sold lots of puts at open, now cycling through some calls. as usual, i guess. decided to hold my remaining aurora shares and sell a retarded call on it (contracts will probably be worth .01-.02 on monday, due to the reverse split), just to squeeze a bit of extra retard money out of this.

RIP era of glorious contracts, you will be missed and remembered.

debating making a memestock tab and running retard plays on it. maybe i'll do that over the weekend

lol you enjoy that 20% run in 3 days I missed on NGD?
Classic me: miss huge scores to miser around.
Oh well. All time high on my portfolio this morning so I can't complain too much. Funny to be "conservative" while being a day trader.

not really. i didn't buy all that much of it and i had sold calls on it, so i was at my max gain when it dinged $1. that said, it's a great return (and i had a .14 average on the premiums) and it was basically risk-free, so...

edit: actually, i guess i made out like a bandit. i just can't close til next week (unless someone assigns early)

Funny to be "conservative" while being a day trader.

not really, man. especially in this market. the risk of YOLOs is like quadrupled. i've been making odd plays and often hedging... and i hedged very rarely in 2019

...again, lolz @ spce

In no way is that what Rogan was saying. They were simply pointing out many intelligent folks in our country go into finance and not manufacturing, a pretty common topic about manufacturing not being the focus it used to be in this country.. That is not something to rant in caps over and yes clearly Elon is a different kind of billionaire than Buffet.

Now I'm convinced someone in telsa didn't just hit your dog but in fact Elon fucked straight fucked your wife or something. You are on here going after him daily lol.

lol how much Tesla stock do you own?
Musk is absolutely making the point that he deserves to be a billionaire because he is a "creator" while what Buffet does is "boring" and he is "not a fan". What sort of fucking retard hears someone disparage Buffet and then call themselves worthy and AND thinks that's not a defense of wealth?
Buffet gets his money and others money behind well run industrial companies while not pretending he does the day to day work.
Musk gets money to get behind his companies while pretending he does the day to day work.
The only difference is who is huckstering. Buffet doesn't come out and tell me Kraft Mac & Cheese is the secret to eternal life, but Musk would be happy to.

Zero Telsa stock and not the biggest fanboy of Elon by any means. I see that he's a hype man who can only deliver sometimes as do most people but it seems enough folks are willing to pay to see if he can. Probably because when he does like SpaceX it's pretty awesome. I'm just entertained by this blood oath crusade you've taken up a against him because it seems personal.

I just listened to the first 20 mins of the rogan podcast. He implied dedicating a large percentage of time to reading financial diagnostic reports on various companies and making investments while being hands off boring and seemed to be referring to someone like Warren who's chosen that path as being someone he's not a fan of. Which is completely fine and true because it is boring and it clearly bores Musk because as he pointed out he is not that kind of billionaire. That is not disparaging, it is not saying what Buffet does is of little worth, it's simply implying manufacturing in American could use some love. You really took that notion and ran with it to a malicious place.

They do, and it's been that way since the post-WWII shift away from physics.

Would be amazing to see what those minds could do when applied to something other than inventing new financial derivatives for rich people to play with.

Except it doesn't bore Musk at all. He is obsessed with the stock price and making financial calculations.
I've read bio pieces where he brags about how he got his start doing research for bond trading and was passionate for it lol.
He has amassed one of the most corrupt "independent" boards in corporate history, an absurd pay package, makes cunning moves to shift assets and publicity between SapceX+Tesla+Boring Company. Is claiming to sell some of his mansions because he wants to be more free, when in reality he is totally cashless and needs the money in order to active huge options payouts while shedding assets in a housing market that isn't going to look kindly on overpriced mansions.

The man has taken out loan against 56% of his Tesla shares. It's a con dude; a way to fund massive indulgence and self-investment without torpedoing shareholder value because he buys tiny bits of shares while essentially selling his shares (by borrowing against them).
The guy hasn't invented shit and Buffet, while an overrated fat cat, has at least sailed a bunch of companies through macro-impactful activities for decades above and beyond having sold 500,000 sports cars to rich bros.
