GME did a 100% rise yesterday.

What’s going on this time?

Some shorts getting rid finally?

Last Friday Keith Gill posted that he doubled down his holding to 100,000 shares.

It created a wave of buying at the beginning of the week.

If Robinhood don't intervene then who knows where it goes this time. I recall interactive brokers saying last run it would have got to the thousands if Robinhood didn't restrict trading. I won't be buying it but I do have a little AMC exposure and stupidly got in on Blackberry too last run

It’ll likely rise for a few days again before crashing I reckon.

Who's brave enough to play this time then?! I am not sure haha! Whatever it is, I am treating it as a possible additional beer tokens bit of fun speculative punt if I do!

I’m almost tempted to throw £500 in as a laugh.

If the price isn’t too insane when it opens.

I just put the same amount into the account, looking like it might open a lot higher mind!

It did 200% on the Frankfurt exchange at opening

I purchased some but a stop-loss popped me out at $112 during the morning dip. Resulted in a lovely $750 loss within first hour : /

$AMC also hit it's stop loss but that resulted in a $800 profit so evens out the $GME loss - but annoying none the less

Need to refine my 'strategy' with stop-losses better...

YTD 12.95%

$TSLA - purchased another set @ $686...

I'm always amazed that Tesla fans, including Cathy Woods over at ARK keeps buying the dip, when this company

1. Has a product range of 4 cars, 2 of which are saloons and one needs to be pensioned off.

2. They are going from leading the charge and being the leader of the pack in 2019 to having a crowded field of the entire world in 2022 onwards.

3. They still have not released their halo product of the Tesla Sportster and it is now pushed back to 2022, the Cybertruck last time I saw it had 2 bulletproof windows broken by a man throwing steel balls at it, and their cars are still really poor when it comes to reliability,

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/jd-power-dependabil...

They are like Rover Group, aka British Leyland, in that regard, just to meet targets.

So given all that why are people buying the shares? It can't still be due to Elon's salesman's milk and honey tomorrow promise can it? Surely that is wearing thin now? He said Robotaxis in 2020. Full Self Driving currently looks like even wishful thinking never mind that.

Ouch. He's a bright guy but that's not a bet I would like to take, I took slightly over $50k last year and am still invested @ 60% of portfolio in $TSLA - (helped to offset some horrendous risky bets that didnt pay off)...

YTD 22.93%

Me too, I have a back catalog of complete howlers

One funny one that springs to mind is last year when I sold Wizz airline shares as I thought they would be stagnant until a vaccine would be found. I sent a Skype message to my friend in the USA saying "I'd only be caught out if they discover a vaccine"

I went for a dog walk, came back, the first Covid vaccine had been found ! You couldn't make it up and if it was a film people would laugh

I had those shares last year and made a profit, but not as much as I wanted because they tanked after, and guess the kicker? McDonalds said they were not going to use them. They went down from $192 quickly.

Now Mcdonalds are going to use them .... I should be doing legal action against that clown, however best to invest now in them.

Their share price is not too high, and lets face it, having Taco Bell onboard as well is good.

The problem with veg foods is that it is expensive currently, they need mass production to get it cheaper and then they can go into the home market. The world is going vegetarian as well...

I say that after putting a bacon butty post on the Food thread in this forum.

So I am buying BYND today.

I'll never be a salesman. I just told you how bad my picks were and then recommended another.

I need to change my name to Clive Trump.

Not popular, but purchased some more at TSLA @680 : )

$TSLA is just under 60% of portfolio, but it's crushing overall portfolio performance (crushing in bad way - short term anyway)

YTD +5.68%

See I agree with your points however (and please take this light heartedly) Vegans and vegetarians are dicks. So even if Mcdonalds do them most won't go in because "fk the corporations" For that reason i'm out.

I've been in BYDN since they first IPO'd as I believe in the product and it's netted a decent return managing a few well timed trades.

I think there are a lot of people out there like me that while are not vegitarian or vegan, have a bit of a conscience about animal welfare and the environment, and will happily eat a veggie burger or 'chicken' strips as a substitute (that is probably healthier as well). Not sure about the UK, but over here Byond meat is in all the supermarkets and usually next to the meat (pretty sure that got lobbied hard against by the meat monopolies over here (there are like only 3 or 4 meat suppliers)).
