Blur's self destruction of his confidence is pretty interesting. He was seeing so much success that I started throwing a hundred bucks at stuff he was super confident in because it seemed like he had a process that was working that led him to say he really liked a particular stock. But now it's "i have no idea what makes a successful stock or even how to begin figuring it out"

The ultimate lesson in past performance not indicating future results

Not to guilt you about me investing in your pitches btw, no hard feelings there. I went in every single one of them assuming they would die miserable deaths in the off chance you do have the touch

I still have no idea how to decide if a stock is a good idea myself.

I finally found platforms that allow crypto purchases into more than just BTC and ETH for Canadians. Not like,TONS of them, but a lot of the bigger names I see around

So what exactly kind of research do you crypto fiends do to decide if a coin is worthwhile? Is it the tech behind it? The overall "purpose" the people who made it push for it being different from other coins? Platforms that accept it as payment?

Coins I have available now:

Bitcoin BTC
Ethereum ETH
Ripple XRP
Chainlink LINK
Litecoin LTC
Cardano ADA
DOGECoin DOGE
EOS
Stellar XLM
Polkadot DOT
Bitcoin Cash BCH
Monero XMR
Tether USDT
USD Coin USDC
QCAD

I think Tether is a stablecoin that is *supposed* to be equivalent to $1 USD. That might make it functional as an actually useful exchange currency, but makes it pretty useless as an investment. USD Coin looks the same and QCAD is for tying to my fake canadian money.

What's the deal with Bitcoin Cash? Is it related to normal Bitcoin in some way or is it someone just trying to use the name for credibility?

I got mail from CREX about an upcoming vote in in May to appoint new directors and also to approve the issuing of shares. I'm don't know what it's for, it just references NASDAQ rule 5635 b c and d.

I also think it's a waste to spend millions on energy to produce milk because I think milk is gross, but that's kind of a dumb comment to make, right? Because you don't find value in something means that it shouldn't be produced since energy is finite? Pretty arrogant and solipsistic.

You could certainly argue crypto brings value to justify energy usage, but it's pretty much inarguable that it does not currently provide actual value to society for how much energy it's currently using. The scale is so out of sync.

Though obviously it provides monetary value to the people using that energy. It's such a strange place to be.

I like Antman and the Wasp a bit better. Ghost is definitely missing something and the end of the movie fizzles out big time, feels like there should have been another act when they get to the end. But I enjoyed the smaller scale and, despite not being fully realized, Ghost is still a much better attempt at a different style of villain than a lot of MCU villains, including Yellowjacket.

I LOVE seeing Antman and Ghost fight eachother. Seeing characters with unique powers fight eachother and how they interact is one of my favourite things in fiction. Watching Antman fight is fun in general because he changes size in ways people don't expect, so it results in unique and engaging moments, both in Antman and in Civil War. Ghost's ability to phase is a completely different concept but is similarly fun to watch fight as people don't expect that. So watching them fight eachother with these unintuitive movesets is awesome.

Plus I love villain triangles.

Both are good movies though.

I'd advise coming up with a list of regular maintenance that needs to happen and how often it needs to happen, whether its weekly mowing the lawn, weeding a few times a year, or changing the air filter on your furnace, or things that need to be replaced every 5 years.

Did you know a furnace has a filter you are supposed to change and how often you should change it? I had no idea. How many other filters exist to be changed....

Anyway, it seems like there's never ending new discoveries of things to maintain to add to this list, and I think if you just take care of them "as you think of them" you'll invariably miss things until you are way past the time to do it. I think maintaining a list like this and coming up with a way for you to notice when due dates are coming up will help a lot in the long run.

I wish I'd checked this topic yesterday, I shoulda set AVCTW to sell in the pre market

I'll dump now though. Only like a $70 loss or whatever - I gained way more than that in that spike when I sold a while ago anyways.

I actually think its highly likely they *don't* take this deal - but the warrants price is still in the typical range it's been fluctuating at for awhile still. I'd rather sell now than lose the whole investment later if the warrants become worthless. If the deal doesn't end up happening I can probably reconsider getting back in the warrants for under $1.

That post about the person who says they are "scooping up warrants at a discount" is kinda absurd though. Saying that when the warrants haven't moved to a discount yet reeks of trying to hype other people up to buy while you sell your position at decent price.

Moonroof's trade there was just under 0.6% which I think is generally too low to be worth it.

I am not looking at it as .6%. I am looking at it as 31% because I plan on doing it every week (52 * .6).

It's good to have an idea of the returns you get if you repeat a strategy a bunch of times and understand what the return is of a bunch of transactions in aggregate, but you do need to look at each execution within the strategy as being worth it on it's own merits.

Because you aren't risking $230k for 31% - you are risking $230k for 0.6%. Then next week, you'll risk $230k for 0.6% again. Then you'll risk it again. And you could step on the bomb where you lose at any step along the way - so each individual step needs to be worth it enough.

I think you don't take "losing" seriously enough either

If you drop $230k in Disney and for whatever reason the stock price drops to $150 - what will you you think, feel, and want to do? Don't just say "i'm confident it's not going to happen." You should be prepared for that possibility even if its not super likey. It's not super unlikely either.

After all, it was $182 only ten days ago, and $150 three months ago.

What % return do you think is probably the minimum to be worth even bothering sell an option on a stock? There's always *some* level of risk as people are trying to get through to Moonroof. I feel like below 1% return on a a single option sale seems too low to me - sure, if you do it over and over it could add up to more but that just increasing the odds you get a bad scenario that would wipe out all your gains from premiums and then some.

Moonroof's trade there was just under 0.6% which I think is generally too low to be worth it. Stocks with better premiums though are more volatile which increases the risk... but i suppose that's why you want to try and do it with a company you believe in so you are okay with the risk (ie it's just similar risks to just holding the security)

I wonder how effective it is to just place a good till cancel buy order at a very low priceon warrants or low volume stocks

When I made that post about mind med, the mmed.ws.to price was showing up as 67 cents even though I dont think there's any history of it actually selling that low, but that's what the bid price was. the ask was still $1.75 which was reasonable in line with the actual security price, so that's probably what it was actually trading at that day. I wonder if any trades at 67 cents actually happened....

I'm just gonna put in a order to buy 200 for 80 cents and see if it ever just shoots because somebody placed a big buy order with no volume to fulfill..

It seems like gamma squeezes are very tough to predict. I think red sox said before that you can't tell if the data is coming from calls or puts, and you also can't tell if it's covered or naked. A ton of covered calls or a bunch of puts won't cause anything to happen, right?

I found your commentary a while ago very insightful about how GME is actually being valued as a failing brick and mortar store in a dying industry by some and as an up and coming ecommerce by others.

like DFV seems to actually believe this company is worth something to be worth holding through all of this craziness even ignoring a short squeeze. I've been very perplexed how anybody actually believes this but what you said kinda made it click... not everyone holding right now is doing so because of hope for a short squeeze or to own the hedge funds or whatever. There's actual tech bubble assignment of value happening here somehow. All of the "ryan cohen" hype you've mentioned before to me made me think there's hope for the stock beyond just being a $20 or worse as they go bankrupt, but I never ever considered they could actual get a real three digit valuation from anybody seriously evaluating this stock.

If I'd clicked on this during the first short squeeze i 100% would have bought when it fell back to $40 but man, like chainLTTP I find $190 to be a tough pill to swallow

Colegreen, could you define what you mean by underlying value?

---

The batman villians all seem to be one big joke that batman refuses to laugh at - SantaRPG

I kinda don't think you guys understand the implication of what red sox is saying....

If a Facebook share costs $288, what is it that you actually acquire? In the hamster wheel we are all running on, it gives you a speculative asset that goes up or down based on what other people also think it's worth. If other people think it's worth $300, you can sell for a profit, if other people worth it's $250, you can sell for a loss. That's the inherent game we are playing, sure.

But when you step out of this speculative mindset, what's the *actual* value to you of owning that stock? What is ANY tangible benefit you have of owning it?

If you buy an Altria stock for $51, you can expect a dividend of $3.44 per year, which is 6.5% return. That means you have inherent value just for owing the stock. There's cash flow coming your way. It can go up or down because of expectations, but there is an inherent value that the price is tied to.

But what if there's no dividend? Is there still inherent value in owning Altria stock? Well... yes! If you buy enough, you can exert influence on the company, giving you control! You can decide what the company will do with it's business, and increase or decrease dividends. Now, *you* aren't going to do this, but the fact that it's possible and that business do buy significant shares, whether 8-20% just for significant influence, or 50%+ more for full control, means that your share has value in relation to control.

But... what if your share actually doesn't have control? No dividend, no control, no nothing, what *actual* value does your "ownership" give you? Is there anything beyond expecting that other people are assigning value to owning the share just because? If people start to value these kinds of ownership less, then the share price will go down, and there's not really tangible value to hold on to.

When you say there's a real company behind it, what does owning a common stock actually entitle you to if there's no dividend and you cannot ever exert control on that company? How is it realistically different from if I just wrote a piece of paper saying I own 0.001% of Facebook?

Looking into what red sox said, it looks like Class A shares that we can buy don't have *no* control, but it's 1 share to 1 vote, with 2.8billion shares outstanding, and Class B shares that Zuck has have 1 share to 10 votes. I don't know how many Class B's are outstanding, but an article says that Zuck has 75% of them and he has 58% of the vote. So it seems like Class A's don't offer much?

And for people who think crypto is purely imaginary, let me explain something about Facebook and Google. Both of these companies have another class of stock which is held by the founders and has super voting rights, such that the founders retain majority voting power. Because the founders can never be outvoted, even by someone who purchases all of the common stock on the market, the common stock effectively has no meaningful voting power.

So what does the common stock entitle you to? Well - you have the right to be paid dividends when the board decides to pay dividends. That is, the board can't pay dividends to some shareholders and not others. But wait, these companies have never paid dividends. Because their boards have never voted to pay them. And the boards are selected by the founders, who have majority voting power, forever.

So I ask you, what exactly is the value of FB or GOOG (or GOOGL) stock? No voting, no dividends....it seems to me like the only value is the value we collectively impute to it. Just like crypto.

now this is a sobering view behind the curtain

I need to start coming up with a model to determine actual value owning a stock has other than the imaginary value we are hoping other people collectively agree to place on it. Dividend yielding stocks are by far the easiest to value in comparison to stock price but there's certainly more....

Hmm.. Mind Medicine (MMEDF / MMED.TO) is getting a bit low. It's the darling of WSB for psychedelic drug research and was one of the most commonly touted tickers there before GME

Earnings came out, they had a loss of $35 million and spent $24 in cash in 2020, so they are losing money. They have $85million in assets but $80 mil of it is cash, meaning they have pretty much no assets besides cash, with nothing being fruitful enough to capitalize as an intangible asset yet.

They have $161mil of cash today so they are certainly solvent for a while, but depending how long psychedelic research takes they may need to do an offering eventually

If they interest you, I think the warrants are heading out of the money, which would make them pretty decent if the price bounces back.

MMEDF(USD): $2.27

Below are all in CAD:

MMED.TO: $2.85
MMED.WT.TO: $2.05 ($0.79 to exercise, so $2.84 combined cost)
MMED.WS.TO: $1.75 ($1.40 to exercise, so $3.15 combined cost) (can probably bid for less and get)
MMED.WR.TO: $1.05 ($5.75 to exercise, so $6.80 combined cost)

I bought MMED.WS.TO at $2.26 and have seen it go up to $3-4 and down to $2 or under a few times so it seems like that might be a decent play of buying whenever it's low and selling when it gets higher as it follows the MMED.TO price.

WR is mega out of the money so be real careful with that one. It's not moving unless MMED moons.

That's a good case for Crypto in general red sox.

The individual cases for each Crypto I guess are what it comes down to. Bullish cases are that BTC will go to $100k this year, which I guess is nice but not ground breaking. But I suppose if we think It might continue to shoot for the sky to $300k like ChainLTTP is saying then I guess it's still a nice dream.

I guess it's always a matter of how much runway you still think is left. I think the idea that crypto in general still has a lot of runway is probably solid, but I wonder just how big BTC can really go. But I guess I've been thinking that since 2011 and every year I didn't think it would go anywhere was a mistake.

TBH I'm not exactly sure what the goal with Crypto is. Is it just to have an asset holding in this new class for whatever reason because you believe in it or is it for gains?

Gains sound significant when you say Bitcoin went up $1k but if you are only investing much smaller amount than the value of one bitcoin, it's pretty minor growth in your portfolio

Unless you've been riding the bitcoin train for a long time and got in when it was mega low, does this really mean too much? I've seen users in here say they've been getting in and out of crypto, which sounds like the opposite

Whenever I see someone get excited about Ethe or whatever I look and the change is less than what I wouldn't blink at in a daily fluctuation on a stock price

I'm enjoying this show way more than I thought I would. The chemistry of Sam and Bucky bickering is even better here than in the movies, and it's good in the movies. The therapy session was great, though I didn't quite like the way Sam exited it.

I love Bucky's piercing stare and the way it bothers everyone.

I like the new Captain America. I hope they don't lean into that "stay the hell out of my way" edge of his personality too hard and just make him a bad guy like Hayward just because. Just because he took the mantle doesn't mean he should just turn into a bad guy doing bad things that they'll have to fight later. I kinda feel like Battlestar is definitely headed for a "was actually okay doing bad things the whole time" end and will immediately turn on Bucky and Falcon when a confrontation happens and get killed as the side character in the shoot out.

But so far I like this Cap. It *seems* like he deserves it as much as any soldier possibly could. I thought he would be such a dork photo op loser from the end of the first episode but he is definitely legit. Also I don't know why I thought this but I was expecting him to have the same swagger as those guys in the football stadium that played him on from the trailer.... Kinda disappointed that's not his whole schtick. I also love how that football scene is literally a modern version of the stupid dancing monkey shows Cap was doing in his first movie.

This guy just seems like a better version of Patriot from Agents of SHIELD, and that guy was a good character with a good character arc.

The terrorist sacrificing himself was not a good scene. They should have planned that better if they expected it to provoke any kind of emotional reaction - just running into the open and getting shot just doesn't make any sense.

25-45 minutes for a full run. I tend to take my time in games so I'm often more in the 30-40 minute range but my buddy gasped when he saw my data showing runs that long as he's always at 25 minutes. Failed runs would end sooner obviously.

There's some aspects of the gameplay that carry over between runs for continuous progress to grow your power for sure, and the story is highly built upon by continuing runs. The idea that you are continuously attempting these runs is built into the story so your progress drives the story forward. Many roguelikes treat each run as "the start of the story" but that's not the case here.

Eventually there will also be ways to escalate difficulty, so if you are no longer feeling challenged you can keep things interesting in various ways

I agree with the bananor post

Your feelings of wanting children are valid and whatever is happening doesn't mean you should give up on that, and maybe the end game could be that you need to find someone else to have kids with, which would be rough.

But you are mega "me" focused right now.

_stingers_ posted...

Personally I feel like changing your mind on this is kind of a big deal and am pretty upset about it.

This comment right here is very indicative of your current mindset. It's not like she just randomly decided not to have kids for no reason or was lying about wanting kids and definitely knew she didn't want kids the whole time. She has a physical issue that is going to make having healthy children difficult. It might not be impossible, but it will likely be expensive and painful for her, with a higher chance of miscarriage or health issues for the baby.

Deciding she doesn't want to do that isn't just "changing her mind and kind of a big deal". It's accepting an unfortunate reality. She's the one who has to physically go through the pregnancy and would have to deal with actually having a miscarriage. While its not an insurmountable issue, it's not just a flippant change of mood she had. If you view it that way, it seems really unlikely you will be able to work together as a united team to overcome what will likely be a very challenging journey of getting pregnant. You have to be on her side and see everything from her perspective or there's no shot.

If she even wants to. She's completely valid in not wanting to go down this road.
