Kirkland's was my next go to but it's after increasing 75% after hours on store re opening news.

Still incredibly undervalued in my opinion even at those prices.

This was 80 cent when I mentioned.

Hit 12 dollars today.

Not a bad 3 month return :cool:

Has Degiro changed something recently. I have some money cash, and also a smaller amount "Available to trade". How do I transfer the cash to use for trading?

Check you dont have any buy orders pending, that money would be included in your "cash" balance but not your available to trade balance

What do people make of Intel? Trading around 49. Stock price dropped when they announced new chips delayed into 2021.

But at the same time they are building an 8billion dollar Fab over here. Surely they bounce back?

AMC shot up there the last while, gone from 3 to 5 dollars in a month. Did someone mention it here?

Looks like the GAN rollercoaster is off again, gained PENN as a client Tuesday, lost Fanduel fantasy games Wednesday.
Up from $21 to $26 and back down to $21 tonight

See comment above. It's going to be down over 10% on opening it looks like. That might be the chance. Will probably look to enter there.

Looks like it will open lower today (monitor the "before hours" price)

Although Intel is a big investor here, ytd, 1mth & 6mts -17, -19 & -23 where AMD 80, 45 & 55
nvidia probably better.
held AMD 4 3 months made 0 since the day sold last month its up 30% high p/e but a great ceo and product would buy again before intel
I swapped them for apple am 20% there so swings and roundabouts home tech/tv ebiss in fashion

Degiro is showing me that Kitov Pharmaceuticals has jumped +900.00%, but I can't find any news as to why, so I'm not sure if it's a glitch or not.

Tesla $2,001 atm. Are there any insightful articles about Battery Day, from a financial/share pov?

Check the Tesla share price thread on here, recent video featuring Jim Cramer ( previously Tesla Bear) puts perspective on things and battery day is mentioned.

I see Tesla shares as playing roulette at the minute, absolutely no logical to the share price so don't bother over thinking it too much, same as crypto, expect random price swings +/-20% across the next few weeks. In terms of battery day I say whatever announcements are already priced into the share price, the only question now is what impact will the share split have in terms of people who couldn't afford a tesla share at 2k but can afford at 400$. I have 4 tesla shares myself which I dunno what to do with, hold onto forever more or throw in a sell order for like 21/2200$ with the hope that I can buy back 20 shares in a month's time for less than the 400$. I'm not going to overthink it either way, but the run up lately is crazily overextended.

I think it will be good for another while yet then the others will catch up and overtake in terms of EV car production. They have such a big lead but when the other companies start mass producing EV's in 2023 Tesla won't be as dominant. They will still be the best, i cant see another car company catching up with what they produce and there overall ecosystem of companies/products.

You weren't tempted to sell half and chance the split no? I bought one last friday at 1600 just for the split gamble. I have some nice padding going in now, which I wasn't expecting.

It will be an interesting two weeks.

Agora (API) could be worth a look as a growth stock if this is anything to go by.

I wonder how degiro is going to handle the Apple share split, will they 'sell' my holding then immediately 'buy' back? Anyone have any experience with this? Thanks

Meh, if I had a bigger position then yep, but with just 4 shares I wasn't bothered like selling only 2.

Don't berate yourself, it's due to a reverse share split (1 for 10) to maintain compliance on Nasdaq.

On all things sports betting in America NBA playoff ongoing with NFL now in training camp and no major hiccups so far from what I can see. Fantasy football is huge in America and draft kings are one of the big boys. More confident that we'll see games now mid September. The big dollar industry will just chug on it seems.

Most of the commentary here is on US shares. Not much on Irish or European stocks. Maybe I live in fools paradise but I pride myself in dealing (the small bit that I do) in pan European area. I feel I am more connected to the issues here rather than what happens in US Nba, etc. I know of course I wont make the extraordinary gains that I hear being talked about in US.
Any like minded folk out there?

It wouldn't be a strategy I'd favour. Costs are cheaper for US stock purchases as well. But if a good non US stock should be considered let us know.

My first experience of investing in shares was losing a fair chunk on Waterford Crystal. My next encounter with the stock market hAd a happier outcome with Telecom Éireann. My 3rd stock purchase was Bank of Ireland in 2010, which ended in tears earlier this year, when I gave up on them.

Now I'm retired and with a lump sum sitting idly in the bank, I decided to put some of it to work in the market. I hold 2 European shares, Shell and Unilever. The remainder are mainly dividend paying US stocks. I use a small amount for a couple of growth companies.

The US market leads the world, where it goes others follow. Ambitious companies want to be listed on the NYSE or NASDAQ, where they know they will get the attention they deserve. I also like the quarterly reports and dividend payments.

Very honest and very similar to mine . Eircom and banks . Didn’t do too well . Then tech stocks which took a nose dive in the 2000 era . So holding long would have seen some of the tech stocks recover and bloom . So not a pretty experience but like you I can’t see interest rates going into positive territory so divident the paying stocks in the mid to high single digit level interest is definitely on the cards . Probably more stable also .

Whatever about extraordinary gains, you compare the s&p to the ftse across the passed 10/15yrs, and it's the difference between making a profit and only breaking even/losing out to inflation. Then things like stamp duty on Irish/UK stocks make it alot less favorable to do any sort of shorter team swing/day trading.

Except the FTSE is not Europe and it is a terrible poor index to look at even in the best of times.

And a part from being a general economic indicator, indexes have very little impact on individual investments in any case.

Taylor365

Only stocks I hold in euro are Airbus and Nokia.

Might add Sanofi and Total. Although either haven't moved much, there's room for recovery in Total. More of a hedge than anything.

I hold about 20 US stocks.

Didn't reply to you about the Vaxart and the Inovio Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

I bought and sold Vaxart shorly after buying it when it poped 50%. It's on the slide since but is still firmly on my radar. I like the prospects of both longer term but the trials are expensive as and both need further funding. Expect them to trade exceptionally volatile. The plasma news today was a total non event IMO.

Would you be willing to share some decent US dividend stocks that you feel are decent.

I’m new to shares but been slowly trying to buy up a few and found myself focusing on Dividebd stocks.

Right now I have a few IBM, EPD, Coca Cola, AT&T and Enbridge (CAD)... any others worth a look?

You're giving half of your divy away in tax.


Better to focus on growth, unless near retirement.

I'm retired and my income has dropped to a level where I am taxed at 20% on dividends, which makes them attractive to me.

I hold AT&T myself, and have PEP, MDT, MMM, ABBV, AQN, BMY, MO, INTC, PPL and JNJ.
ALso hold BATS, UNLVR and IAG.

Most were purchased at lower levels than today's prices.

In addition I have small holdings in a few growth stocks and a couple of SPACS as well.

None of the above is investment advice, just a list of some of my stock holdings.

It really all depends on your personal situation vis-à-vis tax.

Speaking for myself, I wouldn't buy a companies shares solely for dividend, I would always have some expectation of capital growth too and see
dividend as more the icing on the cake.... When I see a dividend payment pop up on my account though, I get a warm fuzzy feeling.

I can't really suggest any additions to the above lists, unless maybe a REIT? and perhaps some diversification to EU or Asia.
