SOAL - A traders thread

[Ucsdryder]

SOAL - Stock of a Lifetime. Or more likely, make a few bucks and blow it on hunting gear.

I posted an idea on the rokslide traders thread and a few guys showed some support and one A-hole made fun of me….he’s since been banned so keep your comments to yourself!

This is an idea thread. Just throwing around ideas here…

How much? I think we all go the same amount, we win together and lose together. Enough that it matters, not so much that guys get nervous or upset if there are losses. Is that number $1000?

What stock? This is the big one! Something with a little bit more risk/reward, we aren’t gambling with our retirement here, but we also aren’t in Vegas.

How long? Does that matter? Do we do it for 3 months? 6 months? A year? Or is it users choice depending on stock performance?

Earnings? This is just more thinking out loud, but depending on how the stock performs, how about we all kick in 10-15% of the profit to a good cause of Rokslide’s choosing? Wounded warrior, etc?

Like I said, just tossing around ideas here. Sometimes less is more with the rules, but I’m hoping this turns into a good time.

So let’s hear some ideas. We can do another thread and vote on the top x number of stocks that are proposed.

There are a couple dozen guys on here that have forgotten more about stocks than I know, but these 3 guys were on the last page of the rokslide traders thread so don’t feel slighted if I left you out.

Someone else needs to spear head this. I’m just rhe fluffer.

I will nominate CAPT. a penny stock that has shown a little pop lately. Just bought an established mining company and I think they are timing it right. Sitting at .67 per share right now. .50 seems to be the bottom.

Disclaimer, I’m in it already for a whopping $40.

Instead of wallstreetbets it can be rokslidebets.

I nominate zim, a lot of cash on hand and potential sale of company, or AUR, if autonomous trucking takes off they will own the market, if it doesn't take off, its headed to zero.

Present and have no insight on a stock to pick. Just here for the bazillions we're going to make!

Group buy stock in ai?

 

[HuntHarder]

I'd say hold atleast a year, to make it a long term hold and reduce taxes on earnings, unless we vote to exit early and move to another stock.

$1,000 seems like a good # to me, not enough to worry about losing, but enough to make you pay attention.

Stock pick needs to be something semi- volatile, with sone good sized upside. I say, if you have a stock pick idea, present it and then we collectively pick the stock that sounds the best. End of next week, should be our deadline to commit and buy in.

If anyone has a stock pick, say it and try and give a little background on why. Let's make them seperate posts in here that start out in bold and all caps with stock symbol. Ex. (TSLA)

I like donating a little bit if we win. I'm in for 10-20% to either Rokslide or a charity.

I like the idea of a donation to HOWL or RMEF or something like that.

I remember reading 'wallstreetbets' during the early days of COVID and just pissing myself laughing

This is an interesting one. Closing on a 750m dollar gold mine acquisition, could surge, yet also at risk for nasdaq delisting. Negative P/E ratio. Cheap. Lots of potential trade offs but with a low buy in, could be fun. I personally wouldn’t throw $1,000 in it, but I’d throw $50 or $100.

I'm going to bow out of this thread for 2 reasons;

1) Buying stocks with minimum info is a really bad idea. [I post my reasoning on stocks I buy]
2) Most guys are afraid to pull the trigger anyway and its no wonder

I post my ideas and the stocks I buy...and more importantly my thesis/my reasoning on the WHY I think it's a good buy or one to consider which I think is critical.

I get the feeling some guys think the markets are akin to a casino. The more info on these companies the better.

I don't want to call anyone out- but an example on the other thread is a penny stock someone mentioned as a good buy. It's in a potentially promising sector but It loses money every quarter, heck for its existence with no end in sight. I don't think the tech has that much promise and the history of these kinds of bets is a 1 in 20 chance of them panning out.

I'm not going to be part of a Roll the dice with penny stocks and have someone lose money because of my speculation.

EDIT- I don't want to sound like a dick, Do what you want with your $$$. I do know some that have profited greatly on these penny stocks...but they either got a very good tip, read-inside info- or they did a lot of homework and even then most of them are a bad bet.

Pokemon cards. To the moon.

I know a guy who makes ~$250,000 a year mostly buying and selling Pokeman cards. He has a card shop, which he pays his retired mother to run and sells sports cards, but Pokeman is the big $, he has an employee who is full time buying/selling on ebay, and he does daily livestreams on social media and that's about it for his work day.

My kids are into them which has made birthday presents easier. I just got my 9 year old graded cards. They are in a protected case and have a 20 year history of going up in value.

My brother and I were big into Pokemon as kids, like the original series of cards when they first came to America in the late 90s. To the point that my mom amassed a small collection so that she could play with us too. Buried somewhere in my parents' attic are no less than three and probably more like four or five three-ring binders packed to the gills with the original cards.

Very few would be in perfect condition, but I have no doubt there are some extremely valuable and rare ones in those binders. I always say when I'm home that I'm going to go up there and dig them out and I just have never done it yet. I'm also open to and a little bit scared of the possibility that my 36-year old brother who still lives at home had this idea long ago and dumped them at the first pawn shop that made an offer.

It's 100% a casino play. I split my portfolio into 90/10, with 90 being safe set it and forget it and 10 being casino bets.

You don't sound like a dick, it's a responsible way to invest. I do that most of the time, but sometimes I like to gamble.

The lesson here that many will miss is that he found an opportunity to build a business. Not bet/speculate on an "asset." If Poke goes to zero, I'd bet he can pivot elsewhere and make great money there as well.
