Yeah but none of those really do that particularly well. I think people want something like FB, but somehow not end up with grandma and a bunch of people you don't know read your stuff. I'm guessing the closest thing is Instagram. I don't think people really want to watch youtube/netflix together other than a nice market like those who go on Twitch, that's not really convenient.

The thing with apps like whatsapp i that they are hard to monetize. Facebook on the other hand is ads galore and to take it further they now what you like. As long as people keep going to their facebook page they will just keep making tons on money.

As for SCTY, ouch! Not many good things to say about their business model. Could go down even more. I like it's volatility, I keep telling myself I need to trade it but don't have the guts to do it.

Could be last chance to get in TSLA before it goes to $300. Like to see it retake 215 then 230s before committing to a bigger position though.

America, how about you don't drag half the world down when your market does a bit bad... Whole day in the green in Europe. You guys open up and it's all red :(

Oft hope is born when all is forlorn.
omg first time ever bought 17 AAPL yesterday for $92.79. And today its just on freefall. Did not expect it to go this low.

just wow.

I am only down $43ish but still GOOG becoming the moet valuable company, and AAPL just not recovering. Its shocking.

The big transition to smart phones meant moving away from personal computers, more streaming, less "downloading", and Apple wasn't really prepared to bank on that. Apple has nothing like social media but Google does indirectly through a couple of things like YouTube.

They have to do something big like buy Netflix or something eventually.

Also big phones are cannibalizing tablet sales.
Their idea to come up with an even bigget tablet doesn't scream innovation. Where's my foldable tablet?!

I'm hoping this downward momentum continues with the unsureness of the Brexit adding more volatility.

If the fall does continue, I'm thinking of buying puts on Disney...
Amazon?
Facebook?

Not sure which stocks would fall the hardest.

I'm also thinking this oil run is based on short term momentum but I honestly am having trouble deciphering the oil fundamentals...So not really sure.


I had some Apple at $107 and bought some more at $90ish, I hope we get a good day again so I can get rid of some at $95 ish. If the market does come down again, I get to pick it up at a better price.

I got rid of some shares of Apple. I will buy some more if the market continues down.

I'm looking to buy some puts as way to short some oil stocks but I can't get the price I want.

I bought some shares of Vale at around $3.90.
My silver shares are getting clobbered as the market feels fed will raise rates in June.


I'm thinking of buying Amgen but will wait and see if the market drops more.

SCTY up 20% in three days. This stock is nuts.

BTW, how long before Alphabet renames itself to Google?

New prediction: Apple will eventually be broken up after its attempts to increase growth through China and India fail due to those governments desires to lessen Apple's presence in both countries as they try to favor local companies.

"I'll just be happy with a small profit and lower my limit order." Then see the stock rise further and reach the original limit. My story every damn time.

Better sell too early then late of course, but still.

Netflix is flying again.
Apple has been on a roll as well.

Oil weekly reports show a slow down in reserves but gasoline reserves are higher..so not really sure what's going on.

Is it possible to ask someone here to invest in a stock or two for me? With the very little research I've done, I don't have enough to open an account and get into this thing.

I'd doubt that is a good idea.

With most banks you can just open an account for free or very little costs and then buy stock there. It is really as easy as inputting the amount, setting your price and press sent.

If you don't have much money however, why do you want to try your luck in the stock market? You probably won't beat the market and stand to lose money if you're unlucky.

Well, it was $15 last summer, and by the end of Q3 they're going to announce their phase 3 results for their elderly RSV vaccine. There's always a chance it could fail, but the program has been largely de-risked. Any partnership deal or buyout may send this stock into orbit.

I think you're okay to buy here if you're looking for a long term play.

I've been watching the stock, might hop in. I got lucky and rode the cpxx train before it exploded (under 2 bucks a share though I sold at 17 :( ). I've doubled my money on exel so far, looking the next score.

I know many people dislike the rocky nature of biotech stocks but with a little patience on stocks that have upcoming positive results can make some serious coin. Of course I don't double down on one stock and try to keep the riskier ones to one or two at a time.

Any more emerging biotech company ideas?

Either the CEO of NVAX is confident this will pass phase 3 or he is a gigantic gambler.

Shitty stocks always have a chance of benefiting from acquisitions. Would never put money in Linkedin or Groupon or Yahoo.

Me neither. Still a good payout for the people who took the risk. I avoid most tech stock. And we don't have much of those in Europe anyway where I put my money.

Man, I looked at buying some in April. That would have been a nice haul.

Well, if you bought before the big drop and got out now, it would still be a loss. These things are high risk.

Yeah. I looked a bit into the history of the stock and decided against investing into it.

Cross posting from the Brexit thread

You guys wanna play this market tomorrow, buy this:
https://www.google.com/finance?q=spxs&ei=27BsV5iDJsm7igKt3LuYAg

This is what they call an "Inverse ETF", it attempts to move in the inverse of the S&P 500 at a rate of 300%. So this a big play, if the S&P 500 craters by 10% tomorrow like the Nikkei is right now, you make 30%. Of course, though it's very unlikely the S&P 500 goes up tomorrow, if it does go up, you lost triple of what it gained.

You better fucking well believe I'm voting my shares against this. I don't have very many but if everyone else votes as I do, we can kill this deal before it poisons TSLA. Elon is showing an astonishing amount of hubris by trying to bail SCTY out with a company which isn't even expected to turn a profit for at least another year.
