Snapchat popped 20% on Q1 reports.  on user base growth.  Not earnings beat - which lagged, and is negative still.  Even the fake-- I mean adjusted ebitda is still a loss.

FB and Goog have way better user data, and yet their ad revenue dropped.

So I'm tempted to short this bitch again.  But I've already been burned on it once.    They say you shouldn't get emotional but come on, is it wrong to wish Evan Spiegel contracts turboaids?

I don't want to brag, but I'm up almost $30, which does not quite offset my USO strangle losses. So I'm counting on another 2-3 cents out of DECN, my#stonklife depends on it.

Cross post from the oil thread. I’m pretty sure this is a stonk play:

Starting tomorrow, the CME Group (NASDAQ:CME) clearing house will switch its options pricing and valuation model to accommodate negative prices in the underlying futures and allow for listing of options contracts with negative strikes, Bloomberg reports.

I'm holding out for negative options pricing. Pay me to hold options in your shitty ass company that will never turn a profit. How many ya got?

Anybody know when they are holding their presentation today? Just want to get a feel for when this thing goes south on me.

You weren't rich already?! Oh honey this ain't your game.... (says the career non-profit worker)

That being said I'm up 30% on my shares avg.  Just a heads up since I've been watching this for a while and it may not apply on this pump up, but right around 10am everyday there is a dip (so you can STONK some more) and then it recovers by 1pm and then profit till close.

I'm rolling my profits into one of those big industrial barrels that I will use to store oil in my backyard. 

Expecting a sell off soon as people take some of those sweet sweet profits, before the big money comes in to park for the night

I'm hoping my reload comes in time to buy that dip. I unloaded my whole clip this morning to top off at .25

We should figure out how much one of their testing doohickies costs. Perhaps we pool our profits to buy one, and open up shop in a Walgreens parking lot gouging people on Covid testing , doing our part to fight this invisible enemy.

They're aiming to submarine the other recently approved at home kits like LabCorp by going in around ~$10.

The real dream is if LabCorp or another big boy gets worried and gobbles them up when they are still too small to compete.

Now we're talking.However  the practical side of me realizes this was a stock selling at .02 at the beginning of March. It's probably far more likely to revert to that range. I'll hope for a pop tomorrow, but will definitely have a stop order setup to protect against a big fall tomorrow after the new powerpoints are released. 

Still, props for the heads up. Up 40+% in a day is just solid #stonkin.

I got in a little too late, and out waaaaay too early, but made some coin(s).  Thanks @RCRanger03

Thank my lucky stars everyday that I don't have to depend on this for a living.

Thanks @RCRanger03 - my goal at this point is to sell enough to cover my investment tomorrow morning before the presser and then hold the rest to see if it launches or if it does the fall on the news cycle.

Stop order is a must, but I'm only covering my initial investment the rest will be for the moon shot or nothing since it's house money anyways. Difference between buying a few bottles of Lagavulin and buying the whole damn distillery (Surly discounts of course) lol. 

OK, this is just stupid at this point. I am not sure anyone on the board will top +65% in a day with a non-option based stonk play.

You know that makes more sense. Sold 1300 shares at .38 to cover my cost, so I'm freeballin with the remaining 700  shares tomorrow.

I was going to do the same, but I got sidetracked heading into the close & it looks like there was a fair amount of selling into the close.
Looking at the activity - there are 141M shares listed as outstanding, and the average daily volume (10 days) is almost 40M a day. That tells me someone is pumping and getting out (dumping) at the close.
I think I'll look to get out at the open tomorrow for at least my investment - 1 month low on this is .056, less than 3 weeks ago. I'd love to see it skyrocket, but if there was really something hot coming up, then I'd say the daily volume would actually be lower

Can you set stop orders on penny stocks?  It was a long time ago but I was fucking around with one as a lottery ticket and my not so good recollection is I could only sell via a market order.  But I could (and probably am) be wrong.

Yeah, I covered my initial buy in.  I'll sell the rest when we get to $10 a share.

Not sure how reliable the "#of employees" data is on Yahoo finance, but it shows 11 employees. March 1st, their stock was at $0.02, and now  today it briefly hit $0.40. I would really like to see real-time insider selling numbers on this stock, as it probably tells you whether they really believe they can turn Covid into revenue. Linkedin shows 3 employees, 1 of whom now works for Netsuite, and another who is "lead graphic and web designer". I want to believe, but.....

I guess we'll find out, as I just entered a stop order for $0.02 on my remaining shares. I figure after the fees, that will leave about $9.00 which will buy me a decent (not great) 6 pack of beer. That alone makes this entire exercise worth it.

If the order went through then you should be fine.  I remember getting a message saying my order couldn't be accepted because of AMEX exchange rules or something like that.  It was back in 2010 so it's likely things are different now.

BTW, picked up a 6er of Pacifico Clara at HEB for 9.90ish.  It may not be the greatest, but I like it.  Maybe move your stop up just a little to cover the 90 cents.

Certainly by "gambling degeneracy" you mean "prudent, well-researched risk taking"? 

hello - the word you are looking for is stonk, hence the title of THIS thread
and to touch on the point made by @52-80 - ain't got nothing else to bet on, so why not?

Based on the price of DECN, I would say the  press conference has started, lulz.

Well that was quick - at least I got 80% of my money back, and it is floating around my entry point. 
I'll wait a little bit; classic pump and dump playbook action though

looking at the volume, somebody wanted out pretty bad, so they sold 10+M shares at about 50% of the prior transaction, and it took a little while to fill that volume.
