December 5, 20205 yr Stocks only go up. As long as M1 keeps growing, no reason to pull money from market.
December 6, 20205 yr new job 401k is in Wells Fargo. Is there some button I'm missing where you click it and it unveils the modern UI, or is this just complete shit

Use the rewards you reap for whatever causes you feel are truly worthwhile. I’m a bit of a broken record, but if you want to make big money while also giving a bit of a middle finger to this system, then buy some Bitcoin.
December 7, 20205 yr Any ideas on Airbnb drop Wednesday?Early proj is $44-50. Ass talk but I bet the preferred investors bid it up pretty good before us rubes get a chance.

Hell there is no reason it doesn't go up another 15% before the 21st - hell Elon should have used this as another chance to have the company sell more shares and stockpile cash at peak prices Although if you want to swing for the fences, there can be an argument made that after the run up there will have to be some air let out of the TSLA stock price balloon ..... many have played that game, and most have lost. man was I wrong - TSLA only went up >7% just today, the squeeze on funds to find shares to add to their portfolio in 2 more weeks is going to keep sending this higher and higher; leading to the question what happens once the mutuals/ETF's are done buying?

December 8, 20205 yr Its a bit outdated, but i was looking at this the other dayhttps://energyacuity.com/blog/2019-top-energy-storage-companies/Yeah I think you just helped solidify my $200 lotto ticket in NextEra 1/20/2023 $115 Calls. Where are the biggest utilities on the list? Southern, Duke, NRG, AEP, ENGIE, PSEG, DTE, Entergy? PG&E, SoCal Gas too.NextEra is already the biggest, and arguably the best managed, and they seem to have a head start. I think they had a stock split earlier this year so that’s fairly indicative of a healthy company with quality investments upcoming.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
December 9, 20205 yr Somebody explain this one to me. Grubhub 2020 financials (9 months)- revenue of $1.3 billion, net income of -$89 million. Door dash 2020 financials (9 months) - revenue of $1.9 billion, net income of -$147 million. Grub has a market cap as a publicly traded company of less than $7billion (And Just Eats announced they would buy Grubhub for $7billion, just not yet closed) and yet Doordash is being valued at $38 billion. WTF? And both companies benefitting from Covid lockdown and cant make money. Yikes

Exactly, if they raise price, they lose market share. Same deal as the ride share companies. This is the dotcom implosion coming all over again. close to $40 billion for a non-profitable company that moves food from one point to another with no real barrior to entry. Grubhub is basically the same fucking company and apparently valued at $7B. I'm willing to allow that there are some structural differences that allow for a market premium, but almost 6X? The VC's prove time and time again that there is a sucker born every minute. Edit - And I see they are now actively trading and up $80% so that will make the market cap approximately $72 billion. For a food delivery app. That loses money in a pandemic when restaurants are closed. Edited December 9, 20205 yr by Blotto

December 10, 20205 yr Tom Siebel's C3.ai company doubled IPO price. Gained another 25%. Despite murky tangible products (we have some competitive overlap so i know what theyre *supposed* to do), and concentrated customer base (just like Palantir). But it has "AI" in the name so let's throw money at it. Also Siebel's previous product (CRM software) sucked major donkey dick

December 14, 20205 yr I won't really brag about the UI of the Etrade website or mobile app, but I will say that the site is pretty damn reliable and responsive. There is an etrade pro app that I have access to, just haven't bothered familiarizing myself with it. That might be better. In any case its better than schwab, whose interface is horrible.

They're locked in the as the global brand for rentals. I know they have some competition with VRBO but they have the #1 spot and it would seem to be a low chance they will lose it. Their network effects will continue to grow exponentially and keep competition away. If you have rental property, can you really shun AirBNB, even if you don't like working with them? You have no choice but to list with them. I'm going to dollar cost average buys for them over the next year as they're still going to face struggles with COVID. I don't care about short term unrealized losses.

One thing Corona taught me for sure is that if that didn’t permanently damage the stock market, I don’t think anything will, at least in nominal terms. The powers that be will do anything to keep the music playing.
