Up almost 15% in the premarket already. Could be a big day for NIO

Yep, it went up 15% on Thursday as well. There was no trading on Friday due to American Independence Day, but it went up something similar on the Dax on Frankfurt and has held that this morning.

It's going to move me to 200% gains overall if it holds beyond $10.05.

I am not a big investor. I just got tired of savings rates of less than 1% and decided to put my monthly savings into shares. Mostly tips off boards, things like Zuora, Doyou, and bit by bit I sold the others and put all my eggs into the Nio basket.

I won't get rich, given that I have invested so little, but it has been good fun along the way.

The whole EV sector - TSLA / NIO / SOLO / NKLA / WKHS et al there are all sorts of substantial moves for the last few weeks and it looks like a bit of a bubble to me. They are the future - no doubt about it but there are crazy valuations for companies who as of yet haven't sold anything more than a dream.

You are right in a certain respect. I would be worried about TSLA or NKLA, but the market cap of NIO is still quite small compared to the American companies. NIO are selling about 4,000 cars per month, but what is most interesting to me is their battery swap technology. They are doing something different to TSLA and they have the patents to support it.

I do think that if TSLA's price is re-adjusted, NIO will take a hit, but I think it has a long term future.

yeah they looking a bit over bought now, found another one at the weekend to add to the ev list $FUV Arcimoto Inc https://www.arcimoto.com be careful not to get bagged in some of these.
nio though i like even if it dumps back down to 5$ or something could be a good longer term play

When I looked at the pre-market trade bringing NIO close to $11 it was relatively small share volumes.

Now that America has woken up, we're up 25% in pre-market. Although once it opens, the price always drops beneath pre-market. I’ve previously seen big pre-market days finish red.

I'll summerise the points.


1. Recession. Fewer customers buying cars (esp Chinese market 50% drop already)

2. The truck. What an ugly machine.
3. Cash burn, new factories in early stages in Germany China.
4. P/E of 50.



Plan is short at 570 and get out at 250.

Hope you didn't action your plan

I've seen them even open red!

Has anyone looked at Rolls-Royce?
Shares have dropped quite a bit. The technology is sound and they are well positioned for small scale nuclear generation in their power systems division.
The civil aerospace is taking a battering at the minute. However, flying will resume and the power by the hour system they operate should start bringing in the cash again.

Opened a long position in GameStop today.
I'll keep increasing this as the year goes on.

This was purely based on historical price action at console launches, I don't think they're blockbuster level yet.

Bought few AYRO

Shedite27

Amazon just cracked $3k

jams100

Bought Tesco shares there. Relatively safe place to store money right now rather than having it resting in a bank account. The company recently announced a 9.2% increase in first-quarter sales in UK and Ireland but that isn't reflected in its share price which is near its 52 week low.
I know its no Tesla or NIO but just a safe bet, be it short term or long term. (4% dividend this year too)

AYRO 5 year history shows it was worth $258,582 back in 2007. Some micky mouse share for sure, bought couple for the fun anyway, thanks plasmin!

Current market rational or fundamentals are on backbench.

Probably about 17 reverse stock splits to stay compliant over the years.

Bonkers, absolutely bonkers.

The dominance of Amazon is incredible, have to wonder how much further they can push upwards

They're in everything, with COVID pushing everyone to online, their store and AWS profits this year will be massive.

NKLA just going down happy I sold the shares a week ago and took a little profit.

And AWS. Mostly AWS. There's no competition. Azure and Google cloud is lagging way behind when it comes to features. Thousands of companies are moving to AWS, and Amazon is coping with the demand - it's incredible.

Shocking low Volume traded. Only 1,000 shares changed hands today.

never mind :O was looking at the wrong exchange.

dartboardio

Beginner with stocks here. I've been trading currencies and dabbling in a few trades here and there with US30/ FTSE , but the spreads were too crazy with my broker.

I've set up an account with both Etoro and FP Markets now.

After reading through a bit of the forum I've added all the EV stocks to my watchlist on tradingview.

Anything else I should keep my eye on? Anything specific now that lockdown is easing etc like Uber or anything?

Would be interested in long term ones too but mainly short term or swing trades

Thanks!

On one hand I'm surprised that NIO held up so well and there wasn't more profit taking when it started to slide (Potential Conspiracy Theory - Chinese government supporting?), but I'd be slow to let it go into After Hours Trading without taking gains.

It was inevitable really. I sold all of mine in the 60's - well off the maximum highs but I'd bought them at 15 so can't complain. Sold most of my warrants too as I just couldn't see the price staying where it was. Too many promises and snazzy renders when they don't even have a working prototype of the Badger and the trucks are still in testing.

Just sold up $SOLO after 70% in today’s market
I originally bought @ $1.85 so almost tripled value in a couple weeks
Might stop off on the way home and pick up a nice bottle of wine

Getting out before the big sell off

I’ll consider getting back in if it drops back to around $4.20-4.40

Hold off on the wine just yet, you might be back in sooner than you thought!

This market doesn’t make sense, but I’ll stick to my guns on this
I was getting a bit giddy as it was flying, so it was time to reel in the emotions and be rational
70% in one day is the best jump I’ve ever had

Going to get some $SPCE and see how that goes and if $SOLO drops into the low $4’s, my limit order will kick in

FWIW, they are one of, if not the most heavily shorted stock out there

The fees on eToro are outrageous. I really would advise moving elsewhere

...some companies are on several exchanges...like shell, ryanair so always worth looking to see if you can buy shares in EUR so you dont have the ex rate issue etc..

I was wondering how many shares at that price he was thinking of buying (tongue in cheek) rather than querying the currency of purchase.

Ya I use Ameritrade so it allows after hours
Handy as I’ve picked up a lot of dips pre market the last few weeks

jon1981

Do you need to pay extra trading after hours with Ameritrade? any gotchas?

After hours trading is one of the reasons why I'd move from Degiro
