Share Picks 2020

Coronavirus has me spooked. Expecting this weekend to be make or break. Liquidated a fair bit of my portfolio yesterday and today.

[QUOTE=Supercell;112540069 [BI was down over €500 at one point on this and feeling sick to my stomach,/B] yesterday was up over €300 at its peak, hopefully its the start of a journey towards $10 this summer.
The ER on Monday was pretty decent I felt despite the small revenue miss. I think the aquisition of Mobile Posse with no shareholder dilution is fantastic and is a great fit for the company.[/QUOTE]

Learn to listen to yourself! Maybe adjust your risk to suit your tolerance.

I use TD AMERITRADE

PAVM just hit the $2, up approx 11% today

Lol i see your point, i didn't sell at the lower or the higher points, the heart rules my tummy but my head rules my trading these days.

Lost a fair amount of money before letting my emotions getting in the way of trading in the past, far more profitable closing the laptop and playing with the kids on bad days I find
APPS ER was great in my opinion, nothings changed there, its a low cap stock, volatile as a result. Doing nothing else until the facts or price reaches my re-evaluate targets (8,10,12,14 dollars)

And I bought at 4.50 last week ugh. Small enough stake at least.

Anyone else still in with Virgin Galactic? Over 20$ now, probably overvalued but people seem to be still investing in it simply because it's one of the only space stocks out there.

And the share price has hit orbit now, 27$, (ok poor pun considering they only plan on hitting the edge of space lol). All sold now, I'll happily get back in again if it drops back sub20.

you only lose it of you cash out, if you believe in the company then hold on through the low points and get more if you can afford it

I'm bullish on Digital T and think $15 is not unreasonable in 2020

Question guys. What platform do you use for trading?

I use IG and XTB. But I do find the charges add up. Especially on IG. Any other suggestions?

I like a large number on here use DeGiro. I only trade US Stocks now because, with such a low trade cost, you can dip in and out and make a few quid, rather than having to make something like 5% before being able to break even

Wonder how long are its legs. Up over 100% on it now but it’s a small amount.

I mentioned this on the 2019 share picks thread around xmas time when it had just gone above the $1

I'll give them a look.

They don't seem to do spread betting?

Lex Luthor

any thoughts on Apple as a short option right now?

Its been overbought for months and there was news yesterday about production halts due to the coronavirus

Apple trying to generate some news in the mainstream about their new product launch to keep the stock from falling possibly?

Lex Luthor

I was expecting a little pull back on PAVM after the mad rally last week, but she's started this week in the same vein of form, up 20% already today

Its currently outpacing any crypto I'm invested in

greenfield21

Got out of barrick gold mid January, off course gold miners are rallying now.

Irishder

Blink charging doing well, rumors of buyout

Give them a ring and they'll list it for you.

Glad I brought Facebook post earnings, seems to be gaining some momentum now, perhaps some of the apple money will move over, often happens

Timmaay

Caught a nice bull run over the last week with Tesla, in at 780 and out today at 850.

Apple is in a major uptrend in a market that is in a massive bull run. Personally, I don’t see an edge in fighting it.

Yep, had a little nibble this morning. Purely speculative. :rolleyes:

Any kind of on Corovirus resolution and we might well see big movement

also a dividend coming soon

(cut and paste from marketbeat).

"for stockholders of record on Thursday, February 27th will be paid a dividend of GBX 0.21 per share on Tuesday, April 14th. This represents a dividend yield of 2.73%"

I was thinking similar. I'm just starting out with Degiro and I'm playing with very small sums of money but I might have a nibble myself. Seems like a no brainer long term however volatile the next year or two might be.

Thargor

Fooking TSLA off again just like I knew it would, I'm such a coward. Next 10k I put towards my house fund is not going in Prize Bonds, its going into a special mad gambling fund in my Degiro account

Not even a gambling fund. If you just bought the S&P500 you'd have made 13% in the last 3 months or 29% in the last year. You pay tax on that but the first €1270 is tax free.

The Irish government really needs to review the CGT allowance, €1,270 is an absolutely pitiful amount. In the UK it's currently £12k.

What can ye do? nothing

greenfield21

You'd have to wonder at anyone who is an active trader knowing how much will be going to the tax man. Surprised there's not a wider discussion around it. In fairness must probably lose money anyway.

Thats why I use spread betting instead.

Shedite27

Cashed out my Tesla at $911 2 weeks back and put it into PlugPower. Having a stormer of the day despite absoltely no news/results today. Bizarre run.

retalivity

On Groupon @ $1.74 today.

4th Quarter Earnings were bad, its down 43% today, currently $1.70.
Reckon theres still plenty of upside to it, Will get back above $2.50 at least

just build it into your trade plan - if you want 10% a month then your target is 14%

I know nothing about the company but to me it looks like it's going to bleed for a while.

Having said that you can now rest easy knowing it'll shoot up fairly soon.

chart looks good anyways i'm moving my stop up just incase spy seems to be dipping a bit.

Timmaay

I bought more at 4 today, and then dumped the lot when I hit my overall breakeven of 4.29, just too many bad stories from that company about very poor cash flow at the minute.

Dumped my remaining Nio at 4.24 today, didn’t like the sound of them not being able to make their payroll

Yeah, got out at $4.24 also, for a small profit. Probably a massive jump up tomorrow now :rolleyes:

any thoughts on xom, rds.a or x
kinda gone out of fashion i guess but they starting to look tempting. i did buy some x yesterday but more of a starter position

Why not just open a spread bet account? Also, 10% seems huge. Are you making that?

Is anyone else getting nailed with the coronavirus? I'm not sure if I should weather the storm or get out until it all blows over. Taking off in south korea now.

Yeah, killing my China portfolio at the moment.

Looks to be taking off in S. Korea now too.
