I've got my shopping list lined up: XPEV, BEEM, BLNK and will see if the market wants to cooperate and make it possible.

Quantumscape is doing nicely pre-market and it's annoying that I got in where I did on Nvidia but don't feel uncomfortable about being down on it.
Wasn't that yesterday's shopping list?
I like shopping.

Yesterday I bought a bit more XPEV and BLNK but didn't have the funds in the account at the time. By the time they arrived I lost my courage.

I did just pick up some more XPEV and then market dumped so will probably hold off on the BLNK/BEEM top up.

What's your average on XPEV these days? I originally bought in at $57....

I have probably actually raised my average with these recent purchases. $26.85 average for me.

Think i'll hold off on the additional purchases until next week unless I see something exceptional.

That's pretty good. No wonder you're still buying in.

Tbh it does not make sense to buy now with the way the general market currently is. Also it wasn't very good watching my profit disappear but we are where we are now and the company still has a good long term business model in my opinion.

They've just announced a rights issue.

Oh also renewable stocks to take another bath today by the looks of it. Hoping the stimulus package is the turning point and these $1400 dollar personal cheques coming through.
It's been a turbulent few weeks. I'm looking at buying a few again now.

Has anyone any thoughts on Polar Power?

They were pinned as a good share with ample growth, however they have dropped like a stone of late.

That's it! I'm buying Gamestop. It's the only damn US stock which seems to be going up.

Only kidding....but it is looking a much safer bet than other things.

I'm in from $1800. Actually looking for an exit due to exchange rate movements.

It could be good for a recovery to $3200/3300 if the markets take a break from trying to give me a heart attack.

I'll definitely be looking to sell in that region and reduce some $ exposure. The annoying thing with Amazon is they haven't done a stock split for a long time. Apple, Tesla etc. split the stock but Amazon haven't bothered for the last 20 years or so.

What are peoples current thoughts on ABML?

Plenty of good news stories about 10 pages back but 36% down this week? Is this the dip or is it just tied in with the absolute massacre that is the whole of the US at present (along with the new T212 fee's!)

The slow and steady increase in GME (at least compared to the previous rocket ships) is both welcoming (I can finally look at selling break even) and concerning me in equal measure.

I've been sat looking to buy this afternoon and the NASDAQ stuff just doesn't seem to be finding a solid bottom.

My bottom is certainly very weak, another hideous day and things actually look oversold.

Lost 30% in the last week, mostly spent kicking myself for not selling and buying back cheaper. Things will turn but it will take a while now for my to retrieve my positions. Gutted.
