    Not a chartist, but have a gut feeling we are headed lower into EOY. Put pretty tight stops on my holdings.

    Well, thus my "longer term" caveat. I'm pecking away at dips and building a long term position.

    Take a look at BLNK and let me know what you think. Moved back up a bit lately but think again may be a nice longer term play??

    Looks like it has a lot of hype behind it right now? I didn't research much just googled it and read some headlines. Not sure what to think, I'll keep an eye on it and see what happens going forward.

    I have a very diverse portfolio as I'm mostly preservation of capital. But yes many of my holdings are EV and 5G related. The one I'm a little confused about is the EV Lithium play which I'm in a little more than my comfort. I have done great with ALB and actually sold a bit as I was overweight. GL

    Yeah, my DCA is in the 7's so I've got quite a bit of room. Trying to figure out who is going to provide charging stations for EV seems destined to succeed. Let us know if you come up with any other ideas.

    I'd be super careful BLNK. Its market cap is $300 million and they did less than $4 million in sales in 9 months. There are subway's that do more sales than this guy.

    Total revenue for the first nine months of 2020 grew 84% to $3.8 million, during Covid-19 economy; exceeds full year 2019 total revenue of $2.8 million

    Well, all the great companies go into the billions of market cap on just a song. So no one knows.

    If their widget(whatever their product is) is to die for why is it only selling $6 million a year a couple of years into it? Maybe they are about to get a contract from tsla or nasa? Or maybe they are just a story that fades away? Don't know.

    That's what I said "all the great companies go into the billions of market cap on just a song."

    Of course for every TSLA there are a 100++ failures.

    I would not expose more than 1% of my portfolio to small caps. That's more gambling than investing.

    Good for you. I've made a small fortune on TSLA but I totally fugged up NIO. I need to stay away from those. I need singles and not boom or busts stuff.

    Not that I'm much smarter now but I judged Amazon by their earnings and didn't realize capital buildout. Passed on it at $3 circa 1994?

    I have a few Lithium speculative plays thinking TSLA will eventually step in and possibly buy out. I believe LTHM just extended their agreements with TSLA out another year. I've done awesome with them.

    A $2 billion company that breaks even. It's book value is $4 and it trades at $14.

    Having a really great day today!

    Their margins are dangerously thin. Whatever their widget is there are not economies of scale. The more they sell the more they lose. $14 looks like a good price to sell.

    From running businesses forever I think the hardest thing to overcome is a thin profit margin.

    It doesn't mean the stock won't go to $60. But it does tell you there is a problem with the secret sauce.

    That will be next fall when stimulus is really out of the question and reality hits.

    Congress might hit too by then, but they could be gridlocked which is probably a positive next fall.
