Sxx chat on LSE is in meltdown today after the company CEO had a go at amateur investors handing out advice to each other... Errr...
Totally lost all credibility if you ask me. The only people who will agree with him are these amateur investors who have lost their shirt here. And therefore is he telling them to invest more? Is he buying at these prices then? Lets see some buying from him now.Greshamst said:
Haven’t seen this much green in one day in a long time. Makes me realise how uk weighted my holdings are. Whoops.
The FTSE250 put on nearly 4% presumably on the hint that a Brexit deal is in sight. Although its not that much above where it was last Friday, and still lower than last month so don't get carried away. FredClogs said:

I shorted Levi with a stupidly large amount of money before their earnings, and it worked out great. x5 leverage, so as soon as they dived I was done.
That is literally all the trading I have done recently - the Nasdaq is so daft, random, and volatile at the minute that I have absolutely nothing on - just my capital sitting there. I got really bored with not trading at all, then Levi popped up. So I put a load on it as a short, I was pretty sure they would drop after earnings, but didn't expect that much... so one big profit to report, and no losses as I have nowt on the board - I cashed out my Levi position at a pretty huge low and that's it.
It's frustrating, this earning season has been pretty useless and I'm glad it's over. not long till the start of the last season, traditionally the worst, but I think there are a few diamonds in there that are about to be revealed as polished glass - short them into the ground.
I hope...

Nope, but future guidance has a huge effect on the earnings result - it can flip the share price completely the other way. I lost an absolute stack on Facebook once at earnings - they had a great quarter, and then Zuckerburg the zombie said in the conference call that they were going to have to spend billions in the next quarter to fix the data leaks, fake accounts, "toxic" accounts (white power stuff and the like) - it sank like a stone. I think I lost £30k on that one... and then the next quarter made it back and more - in 9 seconds.
Went to the moon on opening, I sold at a peak, and job done. Fastest cash I ever earned.
The Irishman is going to a massive hit, I haven't seen a bad review yet - and if that's what Netflix are going to do more of, the share price should rocket. If their future guidance is to do more of that, bulls win, shorts lose.
I can take out the CFD any time tomorrow before closing - it'll be interesting to see how the day goes.

I shorted them in the summer earnings and bounced up 60% - hopefully, they'll break the 10% rise aftermarket and hold it until opening tomorrow... that will be a 50% minimum return. they might keep going up when the market opens, or do a quick peak and then sink as people profit-take, which is the usual.
And, all done and dusted at a return of +34.8% on my original stake.
Looked like a bit of swing trading might be up for grabs, but not much action so far - so probably call it a day for now. Furry muff for a CFD bought last night and killed not long after opening - I should have bought in earlier yesterday, but thought the price might drop to a better entry point - it didn't!

Nope - bought. with quite a lot of money. And it bounced literally right after the closing bell, 5% up. But the conference call is yet to take place, which could murder the price and send things spiralling downwards. See me lose money, LIVE on CNBC!
Ok, so why did you think you wanted to be short and then take a long position - presumably ahead of earnings release? What made you change your mind?
