Share Picks 2018

Somecrimesitry

Looking at the markets this week it might be just as well that I couldn't get hold of those cash dividends:)

I'd have probably placed some orders that then plummeted like a stone within 24 hours. I'm starting to think that my personal Share Picks 2018 should be delayed until 2020 or later.

Everything is starting to annoy me, it's a fecking joke, I got out of most stocks about 18 months ago, and was just keeping 50% in prize bonds, 50% stocks, i went 90% stocks two weeks ago, one stock is up 30% and one is down ,60% and one is up about 1% having said that, the dollar is up a few percent, and I converted over, so that is worth about 3%.... hard to know when this will turn around.

Drops starting to get a bit savage now across most sectors on my watchlist, last weeks ~2-3% daily drops all in double digits now, must see about cashing in useless prize bonds so I have dry powder ready to go.

Overall it’s a bit concerning alright, I’ve put a lot in over the last two months. That said I am thinking long term bar the minor funds I use for trading the risky stuff. So for now, I’ll continue to buy on a regular basis and see this as a sale (as difficult as that is sometimes).

reade

Down over 20% on ING Groep.

Thinking of selling and buying Roche.

What you suggest?

Don't have enough MSFT but all I can see at this stage is healthy long term growth prospects. Decent enough results. Every little helps.

Twitter beats earnings and up 15% pre-market - finally some good news

Thoughts on rockstar or is the price already factored in?

You would think it would be factored in already but i still think it can go higher.

Look at UBS when it released Far Cry 5, it popped 10% a week later when sales numbers came out

What a horrible week

crushproof

Finally some respite with VKTX jumping back up a wee bit. Horrific week otherwise. My fault for being a Tesla skeptic!

Toobz

Any opinions on NVDA? Surely bottoming out now?

If you still fancy a bit of GE it's down 6% today.
The honeymoon period with the new CEO is over which I used to sell up.

Anyone thinking of investing in Tencent? Finished down again today. Anyone think there's value at this point?

Nope, but im going back in to Alibaba. Opened at a 15mth low today, they have earnings call on friday and outlook is not good. However, they also have 11/11 coming up - its the biggest shopping day of the year in China & East Asia - their version of black friday/cyber monday. This will feed into the next quarter earnings and should see an increase in earnings/share price - see earnings for past 3 years below:



Share price generally rose from Nov-Jan over the past few years too.

Square Enix Holdings Co. Limited up 7.4% in Tokyo. but earnings were back in August I think. No news that I can see today. It does seem to fluctuate a fair bit on me though.

Anone in on Xiaomi, shares are starting to lift and the Q3 number should be impressive. The only place I can find them is on the Hong Kong Exchange with Degiro, would prefer a euro or us ticker if anyone knows one.

I noticed that the public float was something tiny like 280k as well a week or two ago. It certainly appears that it's 1.09m now.

To be fair the stock did drop substantially, and has now basically rebounded to where it was.
