Over my 40 years investing, it's sad, but there's so much $$ to be made in grief investing. I.E. Coronavirus, short cruise ships, airlines, resorts, etc.

Not as easy as it sounds. Need good timing. Cruise stocks fell hard early today, but then recovered a lot. If you shorted early in the day you got killed. If you had the foresight to short yesterday, sure.

**chico2663** · 02-04-20, 12:38 PM

**antifoil** · 02-06-20, 12:13 PM

paycom's earning are crushing me today. it was up about 28% since i bought it a couple of months ago.

after yesterday and today i am only in the green 14%. they lowered their 1stQ guidance. i guess I will still hold. it's revenue was up. it should rebound, but you never know.

it may be a good buy right now.

**chico2663** · 02-07-20, 02:16 PM

welcome, Madison....

.......$IRBT reached an ATH of $129 back in Feb 2019. any idea why such a precipitous drop ??

Anyone else been following this? Been quite interesting and been a profitable trade if you understand the ranges. I in at DCA 47ish and did take some profit at 55ish. Still believe there's $ to me made here. ATH 120/130 and a lot of short interest but seemingly relatively solid financials.

Maybe some of you smarter folks might chime in with your thoughts.

Where does a dummy like me go to understand the duress on the short interest? Currently circa 48% but trying to understand when the puts feel the pressure if it all. Thx!

just spent 1000 n bidu. only 9 shares any thoughts?

**hehfest** · 02-12-20, 12:56 AM

Mr. Stock Market Guru:

Explain to me why Tesla manufactured under 400,000 vehicles last year, while V.W. manufactured around 10 million.....yet Tesla's stock is worth way more than V.W.? How does Tesla keep this up year after year and they keep failing all the time?

Tesla has had one profitable (plus, positive) quarter EVER since their inception! This makes no sense.
Please don't say they are going to explode or they have the keys to the future or some b.s.

Long time trader of TSLA and I own one.

I got murdered with the run up to $950. I was short at $485. I've made back pretty much everything by shorting the March 1500 calls up to $1880.

Your search for rhyme and reason on TSLA is like the early explorers searching for the fountain of youth. It's not there but something else is.

In this case what's there is the word of Elon Musk that he is going to do great, great things. Harness energy and technology no one else thought possible.

Is it fools gold or is it real, a Jeff Bezo's II maybe? That's the $779.25 per share question.

What he has proven is bet against him at your own peril.

If you have the ability I think shorting calls is like picking up free money along the highway. A little dangerous but well worth it. I shorted the March $1880 call yesterday for $2. Un-fugging-real. That's march as in next month.

Well he put the traditional rocket makers out of business and created paypal. So I’d say he is pretty innovative and has a proven track record.

Stick to your day job

Lol

Nobody knows anything about the stock market it’s just buying a hold term

No such thing as day traders 99% lose , It’s just a title to scam people to sell something

**Madison** · 02-12-20, 03:04 PM

What are you paying for your vig on your supposed losing sports bets. I'm paying $000 investing.

Gambling and day trading sure but I'm grinding a solid profit day by day on solid dividend stocks. See WM, everybody needs to get rid of there trash and always will. Not exciting at all but it and others covers my meager sports gambling fix. Although you do you need capital to actually invest.

Look at CCL. Doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out there's a virus with thousands stranded on cruise ships to figure out cruise trade down short term. Good luck on your next cruise. Was risky before, but now ???

Way easier than trying to figure who may or may not show up in the NFL/NBA on any given day or week IMHO.
