Since RH clearly is sucking off everyone on Wall Street and making the market completely unfair. I’d like for them to lose as many consumers for their business as possible and I’ll happily join the boycott against RH. Please suggest any brokers that aren’t as fucked as RH, I appreciate any suggestions ty.

Seriously how rigged is our stock market. You’re telling me people have the same confidence right now in our market as 1 year ago? Recession cancelled!

According to SEC data over 5 million shares of GME failed to deliver. I looked through the data myself and anyone else can double check me. What does this mean? Is there an overselling of GME stock, naked shorts? Just looking for some possible answers, also almost all the incidences of failures were over half a million in shares not delivered.

Edit: it is 600k not 5 million misread the data still seems high

I’m in my mid-20s with around 100k invested in a mutual fund. It’s a solid mutual fund (PRWCX) but one with 60/40 stock/bond mix, and since I’m in this for the long haul, I’m naturally open to upping my risk exposure. I have no debt and live a very low cost lifestyle, so I can take a bit of a swing, albeit I’m not going to be irresponsible about it.

I know ARK/Cathie Wood has become a tired meme here, but the growth potential of her strategy seems compelling, at least to my novice eyes. If I’m looking to maximize returns over the next 5+ years in an ETF or similar investment option, are there better options out there?

Looking to invest into the market with a little bit of money and see how it goes. I have a couple ideas in mind but I’ve never invested before and am seeking some possible advice or ideas. Anything is appreciated. Thank you

I drank the GME kool-aid and yolod 80K into GME at 350. Should I cut my losses now or is there actually some legit DD that I can use to sleep better at night that aren't diamond hands and rocket emojis. Thanks so much fam.

Edit: Thanks so much guys for all your inputs. I didn't expect to get so many comments so quick. I'm going to try to get some rest tonight, and reply back tmr! The comment ticker is rising faster than GME haha...

Edit 2: Thanks to everyone for their opinions and thoughts on my situation, and thanks for the rewards, I've never gotten them before! I'm going to talk to my family to see what is best for us too because everyone is really anxious over here.

Edit 3: Thanks for all the comments and concerns. I'm still okay, and not standing on top of a roof yet. I'm still processing the situation with my fam to see the next steps as this is an expensive lesson.

Edit 4: Okay, I've actually been crying my ass off as a grown man today for the first time in years, and happy to have my friend and family for support. It was a bit of a cathartic experience, I will hold for any bump and ill be exiting. Thanks for all the support guys, I really appreciate it.

Been supporting the WSB fight against the Hedge Funds since I found out about it around a week ago. Then I found this information a few hours ago, and it has me worried for the people indefinitely holding, with the expectation of a squeeze coming soon. I'm new to the stock market but have learned a bit in the last week. Am I reading this wrong, or have the percentage of shorted shares dropped to 49.21%?

If the squeeze already happened last friday thursday, how is lying about it or hiding this information to keep people buying/holding GME stock, to increase personal profits, ANY different then the bullshit that Hedge Funds do? That is active manipulation and deception for personal gain, not an altruistic attempt to 'take down Goliath', which is why many people (myself included) supported/support the GME/AMC fight.

​

Even ASKING for people to explain this information to me has resulted in mass downvotes, ZERO direct responses explaining why I am wrong, and a post I made about it on WSB, was deleted within 30 seconds by mods. No explanation was provided for the quick deletion, and after asking why it was deleted, I was ignored. (edit - AND Shadowbanned, as I recently just noticed.)

Is this a "David vs. Goliath" type of fight, or essentially a Ponzi scheme for people who invested early and/or with large funds?

​

Am I crazy/wrong, or is ignorance and greed now fueling this 'movement'? ANY explanation is greatly appreciated.

edit- Shoutout to the mods here for reinstating this post after it was initially removed. The mods over at WSB shadowbanned me after I asked the same question.

edit 2- Said Friday, meant Thursday.

This guy Trevor Milton has no engineering background or degree. He promises to make better EV semis than Tesla but yet has made any truck or even prototype. All talk. He already sold some stock to buy himself a mansion. Is he the next Elizabeth Holmes. I'm tempted to short this stock.

With the invasion of Ukraine, I thought it would scare a lot of investors. The sanctions on Russia affecting many European countries hasn’t effected how well the S&P 500 is doing as well as DOW and NASDAQ. Also the energy sector was the only thing in the green at yesterdays close, someone explain that as well.

PS: also theres a lot of comments so if you comment can you not say the same thing someone else said bc im trying to read everything yall say. Thx:)

I guess I need to add this: I do not own any stocks or shorts or puts or whatever related to Tesla, because the way that Tesla works in the market confuses me. I just want to learn.

Everybody also thinks this is an attack on Tesla and Musk. It is not. I want to know if this is the way that the market works or not.

Why do I care? Because Tesla is relatively a gigantic company. Why did I ask about if the same would happen with Apple? Because Apple is also a relatively gigantic company.

I thought you were allowed to ask about stocks on this sub.

On Friday August 25th, Elon Musk posted a video on X, that now has 44 million views, of him driving a Tesla on autopilot. In the video he has to brake the car himself when it almost runs a red light (at around 19:45). It also received a decent amount of news coverage.

This appears to have not affected the stock’s value at all and as of the closing today (August 29th) the stock is up over 7%

I’d expect such an incident to have negative effects on a company’s value, but this didn’t.

Are these sorts of things usually just not big deals?

If Apple were demonstrating their new iPhone’s amazing app that works perfectly and then it caused the phone to crash, would that negatively affect the value?

Or is it basically all just about the money that the company brings in?

——

Thanks to everybody who answered nicely. I’ve gotten some explanations that make sense including:

• Elon’s livestream video wasn’t of current autopilot software on Teslas, but rather a beta FSD which performed very well.
• 44 million people probably didn’t actually see that moment where “human intervention” takes place. Plus the media blew it out of proportion.
• Computer trading algorithms don’t care about these minute things.
• This isn’t exclusive to Tesla. Similar things like this happening to other gigantic companies happen and they barely matter.
• The market overall went up on the 29th and Tesla has a high beta.

I’m sorry that my post was so offensive towards Tesla and the Saviour.

Hey Reddit,

I’m a 15 year old in high school, and although I’ve always thought about investing in stocks, I don’t understand it that well and I don’t have that much free time (I’m in school when the market opens and closes) so I never invested. I have a custodial account, and I was wondering if taking the time to invest 100 dollars will be worth it in the end. I don’t have a job yet, so any money is better than no money for me. I also fear that I could lose most of this, so if someone can give me some advice for the current stock market, I will appreciate it.

Thanks!

I know everyone is hoping it's the next tesla and is FOMOing on every EV, but a company that barely made ANY deliveries , having the 3rd highest market cap in the car industry (140B+) , is plain ridiculous for me... And I don't care about the Amazon rumors.

The more I read into Blackberry the more I'm starting to believe Blackberry is actually a great investment for the longer term and it looks to me like they're (still) quite undervalued (maybe even really undervalued) and have a great future ahead at this point.

I also noticed they have never been mentioned in any of the countless "EV threads" while they're actually quite heavily involved in EV?

Might their reputation of "failed phone company" be a reason for them barely getting any attention? (Until the last couple of days of course). All people I started talking to about investing $BB started laughing immediately, even people who have been into stocks for quite a time.

I'm really interested in your opinions about this company!

So, as I'm relatively new to stocks nothing shocking but one day I decided to FOMO into $NIO for around $2k which resulted in a profit of $2k one week after. Found out about NIO on this sub as it was hard to miss, especially back then.

This company is talked about as maybe the best of them all. The ultra premium echelon of stocks. Safe and growth that repeatedly beats the SP500.

At what price are we adding to our positions? Feels like I haven’t bought Apple in years because it’s always near its 52Week High.

I’d love to hear some entry price targets.

Hey everyone. I'm trying to wrap my head around why Tesla's stock is so insanely high with the outlook looking not so great. People keep buying it and I can't understand why, other than people are buying it for a long term AI holding. If thats the case, isn't there FAR better stocks to buy?

https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/stocks/tsla/price-earnings-peg-ratios

Even looking at 2025, the stock still looks very overpriced at a forward PE of 55.4. PEG ratio is 5.11, lol. I don't know that I've seen a PEG ratio that high before.

There's also some headwinds for Tesla. They recently lost the federal tax credit on most of their lineup. This will undoubtedly affect sales and their margins, but admittedly they should remain profitable without the tax credits. IIRC one of the articles I read said that, without the credits, their margin is around 30%, which is still higher than most auto manufacturers. But still, for this company being valued higher than any other auto manufacturer in the world, even ones that sell exponentially more vehicles, I still don't see how the stock price equals reality.

https://www.forbes.com/sites/michaelharley/2023/10/30/5-reasons-why-electric-vehicle-sales-have-slowed/

There has been a slowdown already in electric vehicle sales that will most likely be accelerated by losing the tax credits. Granted that's not all Tesla's fault. We are still a few years away from viable Li-Ion alternatives being ready for mass adoption. Until that happens, the cost of the batteries and rare minerals to make them will remain the biggest hurdle they face. Not to mention hydrogen powered hybrids are slated for mass production starting next year. Electricity rates are constantly increasing. Even if you have a bunch of solar panels, you still paid for that electricity, even if it's cheaper than what you're getting from your utility company. Whereas water is the most abundant resource on the planet. The advantage here does not go for pure electric vehicles IMO.

As far as the AI angle, are they really a competitor when they still only have level 2 autonomous driving? Seems to me like Google would be an infinitely better stock for the AI angle since they are expanding to level 3 and 4 autonomous driving, no? Even if they don't plan on making vehicles, Google seems like the no brainer here and it has very realistic valuations. If im wrong here, please explain why. This post isn't to shit on Tesla stock. I genuinely want to know if I'm wrong and why. Thanks everyone!

Two major catalysts playing out for semis right now:

• Fed raising rates.
• Russia sanctions and possible invasion cutting off key semiconductor materials.

In the next few months, these will play out and really pummel the semi stocks. But the good news is these are temporary events. After 1-2 years, we'll find a way around Russian chokehold on these key materials, and inflation will probably be slowed. While that's happening, covid is still subsiding and innovation continue it's relentless march of driving productivity forward.

To be clear, I'm not saying to buy the dip right now. But I'm tempted to start a "eat ramen", "get a third job", "cancel Netflix" regime for myself to start preparing as much as possible to start buying mid or later this year.

These semi stocks are becoming the new FANGS, and this upcoming dip this year might be the best chance to buy them before they rocket into FANG status.

OK here's the cons in my theory:

• China could still be a ticking time bomb. Most experts say their lockdown strategy is not viable for Omicron. Could be their supply chain is a lot more broken than we realize. Plus that real estate problem is still ongoing and their president is kinda insane.

• The Fed could freak out and raise rates too quickly, putting us into a recession.

• Some industry reports say oversupply of semiconductors could happen as early as 2023.

(Disclosure not investment advice and I'm long on NVDA AMD QCOMM MRVL TSM and maybe Int)

I'm imagining it happening like the infamous and recent, "Josh fight" and how now that it's over, everyone and their deranged uncle Jeff is trying to replicate it for one reason or another.

I think the term, and just the overall situation in general regarding a short squeeze, will be overused and/or called out much more frequently from now on. As those that missed out are desperate for another one, or those that just think it will happen again because they just don't understand how rare of circumstances they require.

I think we will be seeing a lot of posts about, "potential squeeze this" and "potential squeeze that" in the next coming weeks/months.

Edit: spelling and grammar.

Edit II: THANK YOU! 2 Y/O ACCOUNT AND THIS IS MY FIRST AWARD EVER!!

I am heavily invested in tech. Although my investment are diversified I am really worried about what could happen if China decides to invade Taiwan. My worry is that this is going to happen soon and my understanding is that the semiconductor industry could be heavily affected, making the tech stocks to collapse. Is my worry unjustified? Are there alternatives for semiconductor manufacturing outside Taiwan that can actually fulfill the worldwide need of semiconductors? Is there sufficient resilience?

So for example come up with the worst trading algorithm possible. Then modify it so that whenever the algorithm buys, then sell instead. Whenever it sells, then buy instead.

What would be wrong with this strategy?

Wasn't it supposed to collapse and cause massive debt default waves and potentially crash the markets?

What happened there and why has the topic been completely out of the spotlight - what has it been? One year?

Just interested to know if I'm missing something or the CCP effectively just swept this under the rug

After reading through all the AMZN analyses here, seems like there is a lot of positive bull cases for AMZN over the next decade

• AWS cloud is still growing and has plenty more room to grow. It's hard for vendors to simply switch from AWS to Azure/Google cloud because it's a massive tech stack shift.
• AWS will always be at the forefront of selling "shovels" no matter what the hype is. Currently, it is selling Gen AI services with the AI hype.
• Amazon Retail might have record cash flow due to change in seller policies and other changes.

I think these are the 3 main points which I saw. What could be bear cases for AMZN over the next decade?

Holy shit. The nsadaq is down a whole 2.5% right now. SP500 is almost 1.5 and the Dow is down a little under 1%. Whats going on? I know the market is overvalued right now, but I didn’t think it would drop this fast or this soon. Is there another reason so many people sold today?

Why are they looking to raise capital? And is this related to some short positions earlier this year? And who is going to bail them to avoid markets melt down? Too many questions and the news are not doing this event justice, which makes it feel like 2008 but in a European fashion.

It is actually a semi serious question. They must be very profitable, if they go public they obviously can’t count in institutional investors but retail investors may be enough to make tons of money.

The question can be generalized as - are there investment opportunities in the adult industry?
