Is NOK not a meme now?

Re: Stock Market Chit Chat
 

apparently it's a meme now? i got NOK because my friend who just retired off BB/RKT/LUMN today has held NOK for a while so i got some commons on friday
i set a stop at $4.95

BB/NOK are actual companies with actual earnings, NOK especially has a 20b+ mcap which is hard to pump

Re: Stock Market Chit Chat
 

I'm memeing for the week.
GME and BB. No NOK for me sadly :(

Imma get back into ethereum after this upcoming dip though, also riding FuelCell in the morning then catching the drop shortly after. THIS week is gonna be fun as heck

Re: Stock Market Chit Chat
 

just be careful

Re: Stock Market Chit Chat
 

gotcha!
Thanks for being so caring 💕

Re: Stock Market Chit Chat
 

What price did you get into GME at?

Re: Stock Market Chit Chat
 

My measly $600 investment into GME is up to over $7k at the current after hours price haha. This is so funny to watch

Re: Stock Market Chit Chat
 

my initial entry was around $17.17
I'm not a man with alota money, so $400 was all I had.

My other play, FCEL did great! I cashed out when it settled and went all in on GME. Raised my Avg cost to $120 but worth it imo.


Also, FFR Stocks discord when?

Re: Stock Market Chit Chat
 

so happy you guys have great entry points on these memes, $120 is still a bit high.. maybe get back your entry cost sometime soon so you're playing on house money?

ANYWAYS! i hope everybody makes good money and preserves their gains!! i'm many steps close to my goal for 2021 already and i'm super happy about that

Re: Stock Market Chit Chat
 

Yea, 120 is waaay high but didn't wanna miss the ship since it was extra bullish today.

Anyways, always happy to see others succeed!
Congrats Mi, almost there!

Re: Stock Market Chit Chat
 

How the FUCK is GME still going up and why did I not buy anything even yesterday

Re: Stock Market Chit Chat
 

This is literally the most retarded thing I've seen ever. Now the media is hyping it up and the shit doubled again overnight. This is so fucking disenfranchising. It's literally the definition of the rich getting richer when you can just have disposable income like this to meme away your money on bullshit and still come out on top. truly amazing and wish I just had a couple hundred dollars to mess around with but I'm always too late to these fucking big brain wallstreetbet meme investment rodeos

Re: Stock Market Chit Chat
 

Like it actually depresses me so much that there are that have apparently literally millions of dollars lying around in meme stocks and I'm just kinda here trying to live on a monthly basis lol

Re: Stock Market Chit Chat
 

The hypothesis of GME short squeezing isn't new. People have been talking about it for over a year.

This also isn't just a "rich get richer" situation. I invested $590 USD in November that is now valued at over $11,500.

Re: Stock Market Chit Chat
 

I don't know how I didn't notice it when it was under $10 a share back then. Oh well. I bought some AMC today but after most of the rally. We'll see what happens the next couple days

Re: Stock Market Chit Chat
 

this is the best video game release of 2021

Re: Stock Market Chit Chat
 

i don't have or will ever have 590$ USD (thats like 800$ canadian) a month in disposable income so it kinda does disenfranchise people without disposable income to toss into gambles

Re: Stock Market Chit Chat
 

apparently the nasdaq chair said they are gonna monitor social media now and halt and stocks with "unusual activity"
isnt that literally the rich people saying "NO YOU CANT INVEST LIKE THAT REEEE"

i think thats the funniest part of it

"this is the glory of a free market, go on and pull yourself up by your bootstraps, invest your savings!"
>The People realize they have an insane amount of influence in the stock market and the economy, use that knowledge to carve a chunk of wealth for themselves
"NO NO NOT LIKE THAT!! YOU'RE MAKING US BROKE!! REEEE"

Re: Stock Market Chit Chat
 

A historic week for sure.
Also exhilarating as I don't want to stop monitoring it.
I've tuckered down though and am seeing through with the plan to simply just hold come friday. Maybe even to next week if the pathing looks okay. If Gamestop decides to do something with all this I may even be a longterm, who knows.

I do know that I for sure picked the best week to finally get into stocks, goodlord.


edit: I also made a call for AMC at $8 for $0.23 a contract.. BUT right when market closed yesterday.

Re: Stock Market Chit Chat
 

if true that is the most hilarious take I've seen in the past year regarding wall street and stocks

Re: Stock Market Chit Chat
 

stop feeling the fear of missing out
gamblers and risky investors will blow up eventually.. greed gets to a lot of people

anyways, today was a blood red day and actually the highest rise of VIX (the fear index) since march 16, 2020 - so that means something.

of course, meme stocks went up a lot. but as more and more people pile on, there will inevitably be losers and even the winners will want more.



people who made money on memes, but not LIFE CHANGING MONEY, will probably try to repeat the same success and overleverage themselves in the process, and when they lose, they will lose a lot.

now, if you put down like $100k on GME leaps early and made out with $5 million, that's life changing money, so you're set

Re: Stock Market Chit Chat
 

you can invest it, but don't gamble it
it's important to build capital to start off so you can deal with multiple types of financial instruments

Re: Stock Market Chit Chat
 

anyways, nasdaq down 3.6%, spx down 3%, dow down 1.9%
but crude oil held strong at 52, and DXY went up to 90.6
all in all, we're still way above September levels - so the lesson is get a good entry and sit on it and you'll have a nice cushion during shaky market movements

added more COSTCO and AMD

Re: Stock Market Chit Chat
 

Well, what I feared most out of all this. Certain brokers are currently halting trades(buying) for GME and other actively popular stocks.

Re: Stock Market Chit Chat
 

Robinhood gettin a lot of flak for what they are doing

https://twitter.com/RashidaTlaib/sta...07292667981828

"This is beyond absurd. @FSCDems need to have a hearing on Robinhood's market manipulation. They're blocking the ability to trade to protect Wall St. hedge funds, stealing millions of dollars from their users to protect people who've used the stock market as a casino for decades."

Re: Stock Market Chit Chat
 

I don't know shit about stock trading, but I do wanna get a grip of what the fuck happened, is there a good "what happened for dumb asses" somewhere?

A short explanation would be *awesome.*

Re: Stock Market Chit Chat
 

Lets say the price of bananas is 10 dollars, and we have a bunch of apes and snakes.
The snakes are betting on the price of the bananas to go down, so they borrow a bunch of the bananas from the apes on Monday, sell them right away for 10 dollars each, knowing/hoping that the price of bananas will be lower than 10 dollars on Friday when they have to pay them all back to the apes (shorting), hoping to make a profit on the difference.

The next week, the apes, recognizing this, decided to buy up all the bananas themselves, making the price go up. This forces the snakes who borrowed on monday to buy back their bananas at a loss, making a profit for the apes.

The apes are reddit and the snakes are the hedge fund managers

Re: Stock Market Chit Chat
 

I appreciate it. It's as funny to watch as I was thinking it was.

Re: Stock Market Chit Chat
 

to a lot of people even just like $2000 would be life changing money lol, especially folks that are living paycheck to paycheck. that's grocery money, gas money, car money. I regret not jumping in even for just a small amount because my car's busted, my pc's on the fritz, I'm stuck in a small house with 4 other dudes. $1000 to spend on my car's maintenance would snowball into so many good things.

Re: Stock Market Chit Chat
 

easier tl;dr

wall street placed a bet that the stock would go down

internet placed a bet (bigger than wall streets) that the stock would go up

size of the bet determines how much the stock goes up or down.

the stock went up

internet placed another bet that the stock would go up

wall street frantically also betting that the stock would go up, to cover their losses.

Causes the stock to go ridiculously high.



Mainstream media is starting to pick up massively on this news that's been happening for the past week or so, because political figures are starting to get involved by pointing fingers at faults in the system, and blaming one side or another for misuse of stock trading, even though this system is literally what has been historically keeping the rich 'RICH', for decades.

There's also growing concern with some stock trading web services halting trades of certain volatile stocks like AMC & GME outside of normally halted hours (GME being the stock in question for the media highlight) in that they could be siding with one side of the scale or another, a.k.a., possibly rigging the bets in favor of one group or another. Since it's preventing people on one side from making bets in some places, but not restricting people from making bets in other ways. Notably, fingers pointing at Robinhood, and TD Bank being the ones getting press coverage in that department.

Re: Stock Market Chit Chat
 

There's atleast one lawsuit now filed in the southern district of newyork.

This may have been a #meme to most, but real change may actually happen because of the lengths this has gone to.

I ain't selling

Re: Stock Market Chit Chat
 

Honestly I saw this sort of uptick in volatility across the entire stock market happening eventually. The warning signs were kinda already there when you saw massive swings in stocks whenever 'someone important' commented on a business, or a stock. Like Elon Musk, or Donald Trump. It is an interesting case though since this didn't involve much talk involving a public figure.

Imo this is literally a case of younger adults taking advantage of the system because they are now old enough to do so and have the income to make actual impact in the system, along with a growing interest in options to improve lifestyle with a worsening economy. Also a situation where older individuals are more used to riding inflation, and that is now possibly being threatened since you could theoretically have a surge like this (in either direction,) in any stock.

Re: Stock Market Chit Chat
 

100% this. 1000$ just to help out with monthly expenses could roll into next month and etc etc.

Re: Stock Market Chit Chat
 

okay my bad, so the point i was making is
people put down MORE money on TOP of the money they made thinking they're going to win big again

some people even go into debt, and get bigger positions than they should be handling.. a ton of people probably bought gamestop and AMC theater stock at really high prices yesterday and today (and DOGECOIN today) and are probably going to get burned.

i seriously don't wish people to go to $0.. that's why i haven't touched any of the hype meme stuff.. it's just so dangerous. somebody loses.

Re: Stock Market Chit Chat
 

Whata day.. lawsuits, manipulation, rumors. Just got an apology email from robinhood and they're gonna allow "limited" trades tomorrow. All while monitoring them.

After today's obvious attempt to get people off GME and other stocks, it somehow will continue.
Tomorrow, many of us alude it to being the make-or-break, but it may last another week.. whoknows

Either way, ain't this fun!

Re: Stock Market Chit Chat
 

Does anyone have any popcorn left?

Re: Stock Market Chit Chat
 

Imma wait for the 4st bailout thats pushed before stimulus checks and the revolution that ensues afterwards

Re: Stock Market Chit Chat
 

Yeah I got somewhat burned on AMC already, but I only bought 20 shares at $14. It was up to 18 something yesterday before close, and that was when I should've sold.

Not a huge loss because its only $300 and its sitting at $175 in value. Could easily go back up because this shit doesn't appear to be over.

That said, playing with GME, NOK, or AMC, and I guess dogecoin is not smart in any way. Buy some oil stocks. That shit will likely go up under Biden. Been putting a little bit of money into XOM (Exxon Mobil) with its stupid 7 - 9% dividends that I'll probably never sell because of that

Re: Stock Market Chit Chat
 

Am I stupid for going in on BB? Yes or yes

Re: Stock Market Chit Chat
 

After work, I dumped what I had left into DOGE as it's following the same routine from early 2018. As much as #meme is going on with it, it's still on schedule. Just a way bigger push this time due to current events.
Took a nap right after placing the order and woke up to 500% up. Gonna stay up a tiny bit to ensure the trajectory is alright then knockout again.

Especially in 2022 as their tech will be in EVERY vehicle produced coming 2022.
