Thanks, actually trying to pull a complete list of stocks, preferably in excel so its sortable. Then compare current price to 52-week hi/low
How big of a player do I need to be to start thinking about comps? We talking about $1k? $10k? Multiple stays at the same hotel?
It's;
1. The type of game/machine/table you play.
2. Amount of each bet.
3. Amount of time you play.
Certain comps like free beverages while you are on the floor are very easily given out, it makes you stay, it makes you more likely to play higher and with poor tactics. Tip the Waitress well and she will be more likely to get you drunker and drunker.
Each play has a different "house" percentage that they KNOW that they will win eventually. The comps are based off that math.
Joining a certain Casino's Player's Club will put you on a list for additional comps to draw you to the Casino. Like in the old days when old geezers could take a Casino bus for nothing. Get $ 30-35 bucks in chips and a buffet coupon and while away the whole day.
Now the only free ride the elderly get are forced rides to the death camps.
Yes, I have Jewish relatives, and this message has been approved by them.

Earth's orbit has been righted today. NASDAQ back to crushing the S&P 500. As it should be. The single easiest way to consistently beat the S&P 500 is to invest in QQQ. Note: I don't trade - I buy and hold for the most part.
Hit 10,000!
And then pulled back a bit.
I've been thinking about the Nasdaq 100, don't have that index directly yet.
Here's a good link for tracking various US indices:
https://www.wsj.com/market-data/stocks/us/indexes
Over the past year, S&P 500 slight down; NADAQ composite up 10%; QQQ up 14%. One can look back the past 10 or 15 years and the both the NASDAQ and QQQ consistently outperform SPY.
Tesla has been hot for months, Nikola came in on fire.
This morning not to be outdone by Nikola, Tesla now says they are ready to launch their electric semi trucks.
And of course all the establish car companies are working on EV's. A lot of competition in the market.
So I'm on the fence for what this means for Nikola. I'm up over 100%. Now I could cash out, but I'd also like to be in for the long haul of this thing has legs.
Thoughts?

So yesterday a stock called FANGDD, under ticker DUO was up over 1100% in 4 hours.
Why? No reason as far as one analyst could tell besides maybe people were thinking it was a FAANG stock?
Speaks to where this market is right now.

Why not sell half? You take back the principal and play with their money for free.
You're playing with house money now. Plus, the fun part is finding the next stock to invest into. I've personally been buying a number of the SaaS companies - small positions.
1)Certainly agree on finding new stocks. Just found NKLA a week ago, I was reluctant to sell because the rise was so quick, but I did know that taking profits was the right call there. I may look to jump back in if it falls.
As an extension of that, I also grapple with the idea of: If I'm taking profit, I'm thinking it could fall, and if I'm thinking it could fall, why not sell all of it?
2)I do have some cloud stocks, but it seems there are a ton of options, many of which have jumped due to Covid, so I wonder if that is not overbought.
Just bought a little bit of FCEL(fuel cell company), for $3.18.
It was at .50 cents in the fall, jumped to $2.88 early this year due to a deal with Exxon, fell to about $1.25 due to Covid, and has risen steadily before a spike today.
Maybe not the best day to buy after a spike(it was down a bit in extended hours) but the way stocks have been running lately it's possible this thing just kept on running.
Like Nikola I see it as a fwd looking comany and that has been a consistent theme in stocks that have jumped post covid.

That is so funny. I've been holding onto my FCEL investment for quite a long time - probably over 5 years now. This has been by far my worst investment since Alta Vista (they were the Google of 20 years ago).
On a good day, my FCEL investment is only down 98%. FCEL has a permanent problem of not making a profit. Maybe hydrogen fuel cells are going to finally realize the promise of abundant clean energy. I see the stock is actually up 700% this year and 29% today. Quarterly earnings will be announced Friday, so you may have a chance to make some money - or be in the crapper with me.
Even with all their losses, FCEL somehow stays in business.
Looks like the draft king day traders have found their stock to run up.
WAFU, up 350% in extended hours.

This guy predicted, or maybe inspired, FCEL's run yesterday.

But 2 things that maybe point towards fuel cells becoming more established:
1)Their deal with Exxon.
2)Nikola, which is pushing fuel cells as part of their future.
Seems they have done a better job in reigning in losses, at least in the short term.
Watch out below.....Virus coming back into focus with new outbreaks in states that opened early...... Going to be a bumpy ride.....
Sorry, I meant 3250, not 3350. If for the week we close above 3250, my outlook would change (reverse) to targets above, so S&P higher.
Why 2300?
Hard to explain without making this post really long, but I'll summarize.
1 - Looking at Regular trading hours only (RTH), we have several gaps in price below (un-auctioned areas). Algos (hedge funds, institutions, etc) will not leave these areas uncontested. The auction process is all about price discovery, these areas (gaps) have not been touched, they need to be revisited before price and volume can build higher. Not because I say so, but there is data that shows this.
2 - Along with the gaps, we have naked volume points of control below. If I recall, a total of about 9-10 of them. Like the gaps above, algos will make sure that these are closed. Again, not because I say so, there is a specific reason for it. Google Naked VPOC.
Together, between the gaps and the naked VPOCS, you have approximately a dozen uncontested areas below. Historically, that is too many. We had about the same amount leading up to the end of 2019. Every single one of them was revisited and taken out almost to the tick which brought us just below 2200 in March.
So when we hit certain levels these algorithms execute further sales which will make the market dive lower?
And these sale orders are public knowledge?
Saw some thing this morning about the S&P over the the past couple years(might be more then that).
If you were set up to buy at closing and sell at open, you'd be up a whole bunch.
If you were set up to buy at open and sell at close you'd be down slightly.
Interesting, but I'm not a fan. If only because I have to click on each account(on Etrade) to see the extended hours pricing. They don't show extended in my portfolio viewing window. But I wish it was all done in normal hours.

Hedge funds have access to data that most don't.
However, good software will tell you where the VPOC's are and your can make your own analysis.
Somewhat correct on algos. Algos can front run everyone, so this is part of what they do.
Weak longs (retail participants) initiate long(buy) positions just above levels of high volume (VPOC's) with the assumption that this gives them protection. The assumptions is that big players will step back in and defend these areas of high volume and protect them (the retail investor)... protect their Stop Loss orders. Well, algos know this and push price just below the VPOC and panic selling begins. They'll do this at each VPOC. As retail is selling they are buying to cover the order that initiated the sells in the first place.
Even the Nasdaq down over 3%.
I knew there was going to be a dip(didn't expect a day like this) and I'm still way in the black from when I started a couple months ago, but I'd feel a lot better about myself if not for a couple idioto trades I made very recently.

Do those algorithms know what the other algorithms are doing? Like is there very distinct levels created by many algorithms being on the same page?
Relax, this is a temporary buying opportunity, so take advantage of it!
I'm chill. Like I said I'm still way in the black.
Are we at the buying point yet? Certainly better then Monday, but I'm not sure we are there yet.
