All right you crystal ballers what’s gonna happen to the stock prices as the anti trust pressure (now worldwide) continues to ramp up to a fever pitch? Is it time to get out and start investing in the businesses that stand to gain?
Don't overthink it. Stick to companies that won't get hosed when COVID keeps rolling

Murph might like to know about my Nvidia experience yesterday.

I'd been having a lot of BSOD problems with my primary machine (which I found curbside). I'd spent a lot of time tweaking BIOS and CMOS factors, and was teetering on the brink of abandoning it for another.

After capturing a particular BSOD (instead of seeing it flash for a fraction of a second at startup), I decided to remove my enormous Radeon card (which I got from a fellow Freecycler) and replace it with a Gigabyte Windforce (GeForce GTX 750 Ti) which I found near a dumpster.

Everything's clicking now.

I did my spanish requirement at COD when I took a year off school in 01', never went to parkland, other than that, I was a full time superspreader at UIUC


Is that where you did your heavy duty education which allowed you to reach the firm conclusion that Nvidia's stock price was parabolic around 100 and that it "would not end well"?

yes my one bad take on Nvda stock is all you ever remember... lol

I told you I picked up more shares last year when it dipped into the 150's right

now its hella parabolic lol

I sold it in the 300's

never thought I'd see a 20-300 billion dollar market cap move on that stock, but then again never thought I'd see apple worth nearly TWO trillion either

ya live ya learn

Because you're looking at graphs instead of the fact we invented a market that didn't exist a couple of years ago that is now a 6 billion a year business and has a huge growth runway. Sort of like people looking at graphs of apple stock and comparing it to other graphs instead of seeing the first iphone and understanding they just changed the world so back up the truck

you have no clue how I invest, but ok cool story

applying that knowledge to build your own PC with salvaged parts saved you maybe the value of one share of NVDA stock.

Next life just learn how to apply that knowledge to design the things :)

Interesting. I'm seeing it at 508. What does Warren Buffet say about selling a stock 2 months before a 66% runup?

Don't overthink it. Stick to companies that won't get hosed when COVID keeps rolling

Aren't those already overpriced? Who bought Moderna Therapeutics and Zoom Video Communications 6 months ago?

Zoom
$101.76 Friday Feb 21
$290.60 Friday Aug 21

Moderna
$18.23 Friday Feb 21
$94.85 Friday July 17
$65.88 Friday Aug 21

Might be a good time to research Moderna and see how far it drops. They are working on mRNA vaccines.

Depends on how smart you think the market is vs the general population. We have kids throwing away their tuition and enrollment at Purdue in order to have a few beers - so it doesn't seem like the general population thinks COVID is gonna keep rolling. Has the market priced in COVID as is - or COVID as it will be?

Then you can think of tech companies who make a lot of money but also have a lot of overhead. If they can jettison leases and start reducing labor costs by giving COL adjusts to employees who move to Cincinnati from SF, their cost structure gets even better.

When Disney dipped due to the theme park and cruises being all FUBAR - I bought because thanks to COVID their streaming services are skyrocketing. That won't go away - people adding Disney+ will keep the Disney+ and dump Cable or DirecTV. It's come back up and now you can freeroll the theme parks coming back.

The one problem here is that whichever company comes up with the killer vaccine - if COVID is rampaging it will be hard for them to monetize that vaccine vs an insistence that they ship it at cost, and eschew the patent to allow other manufacturers to produce the vaccine as well in order to get worldwide distribution as fast as possible. I won't say they won't make money on it - but the windfall will probably not be commensurate to the value it provides

I pretty much gave you the playbook 3 years ago. You just ignored it.
