Re: Stock Market Thread
So own some shares of TSLA & Ford.
I have both.
Wouldn’t own either vehicle but that’s just personal preference.
Digging the new Audi E-tron or whatever it’s called. I might be inclined to get one of those.

The case for electric has nothing to do with global warming which is pretentious nonsense.
The case is speed, quiet and safety.
Once you've gotten used to the speed and regenerative braking driving experience it's hard going back even for a one week rental.
I've seen a few of the Taycans out there very sweet. But 135K just to start.
This E Mustang is pretty affordable.

I’m on board with 2 of 3.The case is speed, quiet and safety.
Still wanna hear my engine doing what it’s doing. Part of the experience for me personally.
Audi seems to be moving in a favorable direction with it.

The E Mustang actually has an option that mimics the engine noise of a Mustang based on your acceleration.
If you're into good sound and invest in good speakers, any engine noise is a problem.

If you're holding a stock that will go down 30 percent when bond yields go up a quarter point, I'm not so sure about the genius level of that.

Here is the thing about paying a bunch of taxes... it means you made a bunch of money. Holding won’t prevent you from never having to pay taxes on the gains unless your plan for avoidance is dying. All that said, the long game is almost always a better bet.

Those stocks that are doing well now while those others that are struggling a bit now due to rates ticking up were in some cases down 40% last year.Dan Smith--BYU wrote: ↑Tue Mar 09, 2021 10:27 pmIf you're holding a stock that will go down 30 percent when bond yields go up a quarter point, I'm not so sure about the genius level of that.

Cuts both ways.
Moral of the story, if you are going to be a long-term investor in stocks expect to see the value of those stocks go down 30% from time to time.
It happens.
If you like what you own that’s when you buy more.

I bought the stock at $200 about 2 years ago. It went up to $4500 in 2 years. What is that, like 22x? Excuse me if I don’t freak out when it falls 30% to $3000 in a major market correction. A lot of Tesla’s price is based on what it will do in the future, so a big correction makes sense when rates go nuts. I’m holding until 2030 because I have a high level of conviction they will be a major disruptive company on multiple fronts. Auto, ride hailing, autonomy, battery and energy. In 2030 if I am anywhere close to being right, I’ll retire in my early 50’s thanks to this one stock. If I’m wrong, I’ll still have made a very nice profit.Dan Smith--BYU wrote: ↑Tue Mar 09, 2021 10:27 pmIf you're holding a stock that will go down 30 percent when bond yields go up a quarter point, I'm not so sure about the genius level of that.

I would suggest that anyone who heavily researches a company and has a high level of conviction in it to hold the damn stock for the long term through good times and bad. Don’t sell and pay taxes when it dips. Also, don’t ever go more than 10-20% margin. Margin will get you killed in times like the last few weeks. I got hoggish and was up to like 33% margin and had to cut a few stocks pretty quick when shit hit the fan. Good learning experience and a nice time to rebalance my portfolio.

How about this one.. Mark Cuban is selling motivational quotes. For the cost of 1 ether (current value $1700) you get to own a digital certificate of this:
Cuban's listing consists of a digital image of him with the words, "Nobody ever changed the world by doing what everyone else was doing - Mark Cuban" pasted on top of it.
Oh.. and if you want to resell the NFT of those Cuban words of wisdom to someone else you have to pay a 15% royalty to Cuban for the secondary sale.

Has anybody been following the slow burn of Citadel and Palafox?
Michael Burry was hand slapped by the SEC for posting about rehypotheticated collateral and a few other topics on Twitter.
https://www.federalreserve.gov/econres/ ... 181221.htm
Then there is the Reddit post by atobitt about “Short Everything”.
https://www.reddit.com/r/GME/comments/m ... ame=iossmf
Don’t understand it completely but basically the crash in the 2008 happened because of fractional reserve accounting’s rehypotheticated collateral. Normally it is available cash on hand allows you to loan out money in a 9:1 ratio.
Reserve bank has $10,000 in cash, they can write loans into the ledger up to $900,000. If the proceeds of a $500k mortgage loan go to a construction firm, and they deposit into a bank, somewhere along the line the 9:1 ratio can occur again. It completely grows the money float and this is why the mortgage industry is such an economic engine.
However, then they started packaging up the mortgages and selling them to Wall Street as CDOs and then rehypothetication happens…strings and strings of collateral reused from one loan to build a house. Apparently Lehman Brothers tried to use all their CDOs to get additional cash from the Repo Market, by putting up the CDOs as collateral. The mother of all rehypothetication! They went out of business not long after someone called bullshit on this audacious act.
So now you have from Reddit:
TL;DR- Citadel and friends have shorted the treasury bond market to oblivion using the repo market. Citadel owns a company called Palafox Trading and uses them to EXCLUSIVELY short & trade treasury securities. Palafox manages one fund for Citadel - the Citadel Global Fixed Income Master Fund LTD. Total assets over $123 BILLION and 80% are owned by offshore investors in the Cayman Islands. Their reverse repo agreements are ENTIRELY rehypothecated and they CANNOT pay off their own repo agreements until someone pays them, first. The ENTIRE global financial economy is modeled after a fractional reserve system that is beginning to experience THE MOTHER OF ALL MARGIN CALLS.***
They are now using the fractional reserve accounting model for the stock market.

Cardano is having its moment in the sun but ultimately it’s destiny is tied to the ethereum 2.0 transition. If ETH 2.0 fails (not likely) cardano has a lane to becoming the biggest and most important blockchain for smart contracts. But more likely the ETH 2.0 transition continues and is fully implemented over the next 24 months before cardano can even make a dent in prying adoption away from ethereum. For all the promise that cardano has of being a better, cleaner, more secure blockchain than ethereum it lacks the features of ethereum that are necessary to drive adoption. And ETH 2.0 eliminates the differentiators that cardano has going for it.

Thought is was some kind of scam/virus to infect my computer or steal personal information. I deleted them at least 3 or 4 times.
Had no clue they were legit and never would have guessed I was throwing away so much money. Hard drive is sitting out in the garage, may try and find a computer geek to see if there is any trace.
Don't know shit about the stock market but recently opened an account to make some investments. Think I made some wise choices but have a lot to learn.

I'm a complete novice with the stock market but want to invest some of the profits I've made from real-estate.
I think it would be prudent for me to seek professional advice on how to wisely invest.
Hope you don't mind, I sent a PM with a few questions.

Tech stocks look like they are still going down.
Was looking at some biotech. Told my wife I'd purchase some AquaBounty this week since she has a passion for fish & seafood.
She is completely against me putting money in stocks and expects me to lose everything. But she assures me there is a huge market for fresh salmon and likes that I'm planning on calling it her stock.
Don't know if anything will come of it but 100 shares in exchange for a happy wife is a good deal.
They genetically engineered salmon 30-years ago and just sold their 1st commercial harvest. Think they can harvest the fish in like 18 months almost a year sooner than some of the other farms. Down to $4.88 from a high of 13.32 in January.

https://aquabounty.com/our-salmon/why-aquabounty-salmonAquaBounty’s goal has always been to bring fresh salmon to the market in a responsible and sustainable way. We’ve done that by leveraging more than 30 years of rigorous research in Atlantic salmon to create one of the most comprehensive food safety and traceability programs in the world.
AquaBounty focuses on a specific gene trait within the Atlantic salmon that helps protect it during the early, most vulnerable stages of growth. In turn, we are able to increase the amount of salmon we can harvest to help address the global seafood gap. We also can use 25% less feed in producing our salmon compared to other salmon farmers, reducing our impact on the environment.

There are a lot undervalued stocks.
They are not the ones jumping up and down screaming every day like AOC or Joy Behar or Cardi B.
Stocks are kind of like people.
If you focus on substance and ignore hype you will have nice friends and avoid pain.
I have ZERO interest in TSLA or cryptos.
STM is a supplier for TSLA and AAPL and priced far less that a 1200/1 PE. (AAPL isn't as absurdly overpriced.)
So you can win picks and shovels style without the insane downside.
I am interested in the stocks undervalued because so much dumb money is going into hype money.
If you are interested in healthy food companies, check out AVO, big producer of Haas avocados.
Not hyped.
