Stock Thread 2018

GE and Ford sound like good buys.

Aurora Cannabis likely going to pop tomorrow/this week. They've been trying to acquire Cannimed in a hostile deal. Cannimed is trying buy Nestrike. NOW.....Aurora which is larger, is looking to buy both Cannimed and Newstrike.

Harvest One I'm also looking to. Need to research more. But at under $2.00, they look good too.

When you say Aurora is going to "pop", do you mean in a good way? Just asking cause I have some Aurora too.
 
The marketcap of Canada's three largest weed firms (which includes Aurora) tops $14B at the end of 2017 yet have a combined revenues of less than $110 last year.
That sector is getting a bit ahead of itself.

Do a little research on them and their accounting.

Yes. GE is on my list of the stock that will either be a huge turnaround for the year or become another American failure story. It's beaten so low, but it's so fucked up.

Yeah the M was missing. Everyone knows Canucks smoke a lot more weed than that.

I’m considering it. They’re one of the great American blue chips. And they still have their hands in everything.
 
Considering their financial shenanigans, lending ghosts from sub prime days, and pension liability I am surprised it is trading where it is at.

Yup. That's the downside. GE Capital turned out to be a horror show.

I'll second this..... Hindsight is a wonderful thing, but sometimes it can be maddening to say the least. :mad

I once owned 500 shares of Apple I bought at $14, and sold at $28, because it was a good return. :rofl
 
So what is everyone's stock trading method here?


Long term investor, day trader, swing trader?

Long term. Occasionally rebalance and look at decisions in terms of long term trends. I have a couple individual stock bets and mostly funds that match my 20-40 year goals and risk tolerance.

very nice. I have 85% of my portfolio in long term holds. 15% for high risk and swing trading.

It has worked out really well for me the past year or two
 
I have stuff I won't ever sell (probably) and some things I sell if I see a nice bump, that I think it is an anomaly. So maybe at any given time 30% of my holdings are considered trades if the situation is right. I may go weeks without a trade and then trade 15 times in a week. Never know.
 
I sold my Amazon that I bought in 2013 a few months ago. Up like 4x-5x in that time, figured I’d call it good and move on. The individual picks are maybe 10-15% of portfolio, I certainly don’t think I’m smarter than the market but it’s nice to play a bit. Biggest discrete stocks right now are Tesla (why the hell not) and my employer, who gives us a 33% share buying bonus.
