OT: Stock and Investment Talk

Can someone give a qk explanation on a Warrant?

NKLAW is what I am looking at specifically.

I've googled it, think I know what it is, but still confused.
 
You can purchase a Warrant, they trade up and down based on 4 issues;

Why would you buy a warrant ? You can control a share of the common stock for less than buying the common stock. (almost always 'common' stock).

1. Price of the common stock.
2. Price that the warrant can be executed, changed to common stock.
3. Date the warrant expires.
4. Number of warrants in the float. (if there are millions outstanding and they get executed it dilutes the value of the existing common stock.)

There are more reasons, but these 4 are the biggies. They are usually around from a previous IPO or Bridge Loan financing, and most likely for small cap stocks.
 
Throw in all of the Fed infusion, I see the market bouncing back .

The only thing I see affecting the market is a second wave and businesses closing down again. I am going to be buying tomorrow.

How did I miss this last week? :)
Great post!
 
Fed talking about buying $750 billion Corporate bonds doesn’t hurt and also talk of $1 trillion in infrastructure spending. The bailout will be closer to $5-6 trillion for 2020. Wasting way to much federal money trying to prop up the economy.

I glad I brought in the dip AMZN, FB, PYPL, HD, AVGO, CRM,BDX, AMX, AMD but sold some today. It’s good for trader. It might get dangerous closer to earning period either before or after earnings.

I told you all along that I am in the market. You just loved too much to keep trotting out the Chicken Little meme.

I just checked my Etrade account which is one of my new hobbies. I am up 27% since March. You almost can't lose right now. But I still think the key is going to be to get out and convert to cash/real estate or any other tangible asset before the music stops.

The market will be volatile, but trending up since there is nowhere else to put money except under your mattress. Also, you want to be all in when the first successful vaccine is announced.....KABOOM!

Let's do this!

S&P500 is up more than 42% from the 3/23 low.

I recently inherited some stocks and they hit their 52 week high within the last couple of weeks. Since the brokerage account was a taxable account, the stocks were brought and never traded. FB original cost $49 closed today $236, PYPL original $63 split from eBay closed today $161, AMD $35 cost $54 closed today. The brokerage account tripled over the last 7 years.

Luckily, the cost basis stepped up so that the taxable capital gain was almost nil. That‘s one reason I like to trade FB, AMD and PYPL. I trade my stocks in the IRA account.

Inter generational wealth, it will only be passed on to next couple of generations as a safety net.

Wish you all the luck 05! But you do realize that the market cap of a company is the share price multiplied by the number of shares, correct? What you wrote makes it seem like you think TSLA is worth 972/60 more than NKLA. TSLA's market cap is $180.5 billion. NKLA's market cap is $21.8 billion. TSLA is worth 8.3x more than NKLA,not 16.2x. If TSLA splits 2:1, its shares drop by 50% but the value of the company doesn't change.
Just to get back to this idea.

TSLA's market cap was 1/2 of what it now is in April. 1/4 of what it now is last summer.

NKLA's market cap doubled, along with it's stock price, in a couple days.

If I were to draw a distinction between TSLA and NKLA, that shows NKLA is not TSLA, it would be around the fact that TSLA has been building and selling cars for years. NKLA has not actually built and sold a car or a truck.

So if a warrant is being sold at $30, and the strike price is $70. Do I need to spend that $30 in order to get the chance to buy at $70, in which case my total cost would be $100?
 
What, wealthy people don't spend all day at their computer desk?

I only spend about half a hour or an hour on stocks a day in my retirement. You and Cali spend more time on these boards a day. I seldom day trade which means buying and selling the stock in the same day. I might hold for a week or a couple of months to get the 5-10% return. I only invest 20-30% of my assets in equities considering I’m now 64 and retired for 11 years already. I think I will apply for my social security next year and my pension will start next year at 65.
 
Anyone need to buy a house?

Homebuyer mortgage demand spikes to 11-year high, as rates hit another record low

This is something I thought about above in terms of where people are, and will be, putting their money.

Could people be taking a chunk of their investable income and putting it into real estate? Especially those looking to get out of cities and other high density areas.

So what you are saying is you do not have generational wealth?

What do you mean? I inherited a couple hundred thousands and will get more in a few years. I don’t have to touch any of my assets when my pension and social security starts next year. Yes, all those assets go to the next generation.

That’s what you always talk about. Be successful in life and be able to provide for the next generation.

My bad, I was trying to throw some snark at Cali, but I guess some with generational wealth do day trade.

I, unfortunately, do not have much by way of generational wealth. :cry:

Maybe next time around.

Well step up and get that started. Save and provide some generational wealth to your kids.
