I did make a big purchase on March 20. That is my claim to fame so far in investing, some of that stuff probably doubled already.

 

Yeah that'd be interesting. Though I didn't major in stats, I had pretty good exposure back in school.

I do DCA my usual 401k contributions and reinvestments in my main retirement account. This is some additional cash I'm pulling in from the sidelines.

 

There was some mention of NKLA awhile back. Anybody have some thoughts on longevity? Assuming cost reductions open up logistical options for big organizations, they would still have to build hydrogen stations all over?

 

Their market cap is about the same as Ford, and they haven’t sold a vehicle yet. I’d wait, it will return to reality and provide a good entry point.

 

Thanks!

 

I just looked at the chart. It has gone up to about $80, and is back in the $60's now. I wouldn't be surprised if you can get in under $20 or even $10. It reminds me of Beyond Meat (BYND), in less than a year it has gone up to $234, but later provided an entry point in the high $50's. They're probably both good companies, but if you bought BYND over $200 you might be waiting years to break even.

 

Right, my thought is a long term hold when considering the requirements of production and feasibility of implementation into an organization. For instance, Walmart wouldn't pick up a fleet unless the infrastructure already supported it... potentially taking years to get to that point anyway.

 

You'll either make bank or lose your shirt when another company does it first. Flip a coin this early on.

 

That's a good point, it may never get to the "fair" price of $20 or whatever. People could push it up, up, up, and then if it is extremely successful and grows into its valuation, you missed the boat. It's a tough call, definitely a gamble at this point.

 

It’s possible. But you’ll know if it’s a real company at that point, and there’s always buying opportunities

 

Another good buy you might want to look into now is Consolidated Edison (ED). Its yield is over 4%, 46 consecutive years of dividend increases, and a decent long term chart. It’s a utility company, not sure if you like those.

 

Some might say "If you believe the propaganda that there actually are two sides, you need help"

 

Nice, I’ll look into it. I’ve got some money still floating in a couple stocks that will get moved into dividends when I sell. And if I decide to get out of ARI. I just can’t decide on that yet.

 

I bought some at 59 and sold at 75 . I will be back in at some time ( maybe in the $25 to 35 range) because I look at NKLA like I did AMZN , BYND TSLA and others . They are cults stocks that will trade on the wanting of it to work . I still cannot believe how BYND and TSLA can trade at the levels they are at but they seem to represent the future wanted by many . I myself really like the idea of semi's running on emission free hydrogen fuel to power electric motors . The refueling time is about the same as Diesel and makes a lot of sense to me as compared to full battery charging rigs . It may not come back down , and that is why I missed out on BYND . I have owned TSLA and AMZN but just cannot seem to hold on to them for fear of reality , or in the case of AMZN , gov. mandated breakup .

 

I think the push and pull of the two sides is by design, keeps us in the center overall, and might be why the US has been so successful. Just a theory I have.

 

The rhetoric on either "side" is very different.
The actions are identical.
The government's power and reach continues to grow, oftentimes moreso when the "smaller government side" is ostensibly in control.
It makes me wonder if the people who we vote on and think are in control actually are.
Maybe we don't have any idea who actually pulls the strings. < Is this a dunce cap or a tinfoil hat?

 

NWO (not to be confused with NWA).

 

Gave this a watch the other day, not sure how accurate the information is or what his intentions are (can’t believe everything you see on the internet these days lol) but was interesting none the less. The video was more so focused on RH users but his findings raised an eyebrow. I took it with a grain of salt but just thought I’d share.

Just quoting myself here...I saw this coming. There have to be people making a KILLING shorting Robin Hood top stocks...It's really a question of if there is any impropriety in using that knowledge..I haven't read the RH TOS but it might very well say that they are allowed to anonymously share the number of shares you are interested in purchasing or holding...I mean technically when you put an order out it is public information...

 

I do know the top RH stocks are tracked. So it would be pretty easy to know that. I imagine it wouldn’t be all that difficult to pump up a small stock, and get it rolling with RH traders and then dump it. Who really knows what’s going on. I’d think a tweet from someone famous is all it would take to get a penny stock to go 500%
