When I was in elementary school there was a persistent, baseless rumor that my friends would tell me that Rocky Mountain Chocolate brand fudge contained methamphetamine. No idea where that came from.

I meant it isn't going to dump 2% like faggots in here think.

Can any REFR shill explain why it's a good idea? There are literally 100 companies involved in smart glass, and most of them are already established glass producers such as agc flatglass. Boeing has had smart glass on dreamliner passenger windows since 2011, and I don't think REFR was involved. Granted SPD does seem to be the most promising technology which is REFR expertise.

Lmaokek at these retarded baggies

News flash, sometimes buying a stock that is under a dollar because it is so cheap and you can buy more is a quick way to lose ALL your money!!!!!! WOW!!!!

>>12809913
you should know this by now, AAPL doesn't do things first, they do things best. its a tried and true business model. plus, iphone sales revenue will soon be outpaced by its services revenue.

gimicks and shit only work for so long. the ecosystem of AAPL is unparalleled (even amazon and google can't compete right now).

>>12809948

how feasible is it to live off of low volatility high dividend paying shares? have 55k saved right now and I'm sick of waging.

>>12809979
Fug.
Oh well. Only put in 90 dollars.

>>12809993
55k wouldn't be enough if you want to live off of dividends

>>12809993
If you got a million dollars in them maybe

>>12809993
If you're willing to eat nothing but rice and beans and live in a shack in the Midwest you'll still need 500k.

>>12809968
I don't think SN was delisted because it was below $1....

>>12809983
I sold everything before FOMC statement. Feeling pretty smart right now tbqh. December lows are very probable. People say never to time the markets but it's honestly pretty easy if you are of above average intelligence. Will buy back in after we test December lows.

>>12809993
If you quadruple your stack and live in squaller it may be possible.

>>12809974
Who do you think is going to use the apple "ecosystem" when nobody uses their phones anymore and it isn't all preloaded on everything like a bad virus you retard?

Ilook at these fucking price swings, it's like nobody even ready the damn minutes. Economic slowdown in EU and CH confirmed, it's going to spread to the US unless we can get that wall built to keep that shit out of here.

In general, the Company has 45 days from receipt of the notice to submit a plan advising the NYSE of definitive actions the Company has taken, or is taking, that would bring it into conformity with the market capitalization listing standard within 18 months of receipt of the written notice."

>it's honestly pretty easy if you are of above average intelligence

>>12809993
high dividend paying shares are high for a few reasons:

1. The stock is down significantly. That's usually a bad thing when the stock is down so far that its dividend is so high (see F). The dividend may be cut due to better uses for the cash in the company.

2. The dividend might be high but the dividend payments may not be increasing and continuous. There's certain companies that pay 10%+ dividends, but most are risky MLPs, CEFs or high volatile REITs


As a dividendbro, to live off dividends in the future you'll want to focus in part on dividend kings and aristocrats, but have most your focus on dividend growth also known as CAGR. Basically high dividend growth = company is doing well but also it increases your yield on cost and giving you more money for not adding any new capital. the increases over several stocks can be the equivalent of investing $10-15K per year in new capital that would be necessary to get the amount of new dividends at current yields.


To live off dividends you'll need to earn and save a lot more than $55K. You'll want at least $1.5M to live somewhat comfortably (you won't need to save that much due to compounding interest, but the more you save earlier, the easier it will get to reach that number).

DCA your $55K in to quality, dividend growth stocks (see ITW, MSFT, AAPL, CSCO, SBUX), standard dividend staples (LOW, MO, KHC, KO, JNJ, PG), some REITs (O, IRM, DOC), and some good yielding stocks like telecoms (T and VZ).

All above stocks I own. There's also some decent utilities like ED, ENB and SO, but I haven't gotten into that sector yet.

>>12810080
It's because they "forgot" to pull a reserve split

>when no one uses their phones anymore
kek, is this a serious question?

>preloaded on everything like a bad virus
you've never used a samsung or google phone with vasts amounts of bloatware, have you?

>>12810103
if they were delisted for insufficient market cap, pulling a reverse split wouldn't have helped

seriously learn the fundamentals or you'll get rolled

>>12810103
a reverse split wouldn't increase share holder equity you newb

>>12810109
>>12810110
For sure good swings, but I imagine a lot of people were on the wrong sides of those after the Fed Minutes. Then again, I just think of how bad I am at daytrading so there's that.

>>12810118
this thread is so fucking retarded sometimes...

>>12810126
I thought it was because they didn't meet the minimum share cost requirement, my bad

gpro

>>12810118
how does a reverse split create new capital? undercapitalization is a no-no for public companies. a reverse split just shrinks the shares so that the value of the share is over $1. it doesn't create any new capital because they aren't issuing new shares.

Found another company if you missed out on CBLK and MOS.

MNK is estimated to beat earnings by 5%. It's going to pump even though down at the moment. Just bought at 21.46

>>12810114
Phone sales are still decreasing and this trend isnt going to reverse. Once you lose that intangible cool and superior factor there's no getting it back, and they've been coasting on that factor for well over five years now with inferior products and it finally caught up to them. Nobody will use their services if they're no longer using their products. Apple can't innovate and are getting left behind. Buying Apple now is more like buying a fashion company that's going out of style than a tech company.

>>12810137
>>12810152
The main reason for their delisting was because of market capitlization was below 50million.. If it was simply because it's below $1 they could've easily done a reverse split.. that wasn't the case.

They needed more share holder equity.. one thing they couldve done is do a private offering of common units as to not disturb the float... but they probably couldn't find anyone willing to throw 20 million at it.

COVERED CALL QUESTION

I have an abundance of KO shares that I want to keep (i.e. I don't want to have to sell any of the shares)

Is there a way I can write covered call options, and before the option date hits and keep all my shares and take whatever profit (or loss) there is by selling my contract to another bloke?

Main point is I don't want to sell any of my KO shares due to the hit i'd take as I've held them for so long.

Should I buy bro?

>GALT

Going to 10 or 12?

Can someone explain how options work to me? I think I'm missing something blinding obvious.
Right now, let's use GALT since it's being shilled right now.

At the bottom, there's a strike price of $1, meaning that I would buy the shares at one dollar a piece, of what I'm assuming is the standard 100 set of shares. And it says the premium is $4.50.
There is another selection there which has the strike price of $8, to use the other extreme here, and the premium price is $0.13

1. Is the premium price is per singular share?
2. Either way, what possible reason would I want to have a higher strike price? This feels like something -really- obvious that I'm just completely blind to.
I hope I'm getting my question across properly.

it's nice to see GALT finally get recognized for the value it has

>>12810574
Yes the premium is per share, and contracts always trade on lots of 100 shares. The strike price you buy effects the breakeven price and basically everything else that determines contract pricing including how risky the contract is

A very similar move happened for GALT at the end of August and also May June. Was there any news or reason for those moves? Why is this the big one? Why won't it be back at 4$ in 2 months?

holy shit WIN and WIN bondholders BTFO

"We take no pleasure in Windstream's resulting financial predicament. Windstream could easily have averted it – first by not playing fast and loose with its noteholders in 2015, hoping nobody would hold the company to account, and second by settling. Instead, Windstream wasted an exorbitant amount – more than would have been needed to settle with us at the time – on an ineffective exchange offer and then on litigation.

In our view, a management and a board with an extreme and unwarranted assessment of Windstream's legal case chose to bet the company. The company lost.

According to its statement last Friday, Windstream now intends to appeal. This is welcome news for our fund, as it will require Windstream to post a surety bond exceeding $300 million. That surety bond will pay in full the notes our fund owns when Windstream loses the appeal. We are happy to take the surety company's credit over Windstream's.

To noteholders who chose to play the company's game even after it had broken its promise, we wish you luck with your exchange notes. Between their dubious status and their OID risk in bankruptcy, we suspect you will need it."

Fuck that company. Lived with someone that had and it was like living in the early 2000s speed on the internet. I hope the CEO kills himself.

>>12810692
I guess what I'm asking is, if the total cost = strike + premium, and if tc > s+p you profit, why would you possibly buy the $8 option there.
$8 strike + 0.13 premium = 8.13 total cost per share
$1 strike + 4.5 premium = 5.5 total cost per share.

If you sell at a high price, for this sake let's use a price point of 10 dollars, well above everything else.
Would you not make more on the $1 option?
price point $10 - ($1s + $4.5p) = $4.5 profit
price point $10 - ($8s + $0.13p) = $1.87 profit.

Or am I fundamentally misunderstanding something?

Can any REFR shill explain why it's a good idea? There are literally 100 companies involved in smart glass, and most of them are already established glass producers such as agc flatglass. Boeing has had smart glass on dreamliner passenger windows since 2011, and I don't think REFR was involved. Granted SPD does seem to be the most promising technology which is REFR expertise.

i want all my bears to live long and prosper.
this week is going to end horribly for bulls.

you had a nice few weeks, but don't get greedy.

Ding ding ding! How did everyone do today? I'm up .49%, shorting at 3:05 and longing at 3:20 were the easiest daytrades in history. Wish I'd committed more to it but I was scare.

I really don't understand how the time frame changes anything, except for when it forces you to either sell or "accept" the contract, but I'm viewing this in the "buy at X price, sell at X+5, make 5 profit" that traditional stock holding works off of.

I guess I just really don't comprehend something basic about options.

It was all GALT. Everything else was flat between those that were up versus those that were down.

So if a democrat wins and we get $15 minimum wage, would it be better to buy physical gold, or gold stocks

>>12810992
The different maturity dates have different time premium stuff going on.

>>12811001
Pretty cool.

>>12810894
I'm pretty cynical and didn't think of it like that, but it's so true. The forms all say something like "this was furnished to the IRS". I take some sort of pride in doing my own taxes though. I do corporate tax for a living and honestly wouldn't completely trust one of the chain branches that are all over. The people in those have the minimum training and the burden of supplying all of the information is on the customer anyway. Aside from triple checking investment activity, personal taxes aren't that hard, especially for people who have an interest in finance, like in this thread.

KO is going to slowly and steady come back to 50, MO popped nicely after Wells Fargo upgraded the stock. IP and KHC were both up over a percent. overall average day.

>>12811034
$15 min wage is not that big a deal
it would be a little shitty but not a catastrophe

but when you start to see MMT start to go into the mainstream, you want physical gold, lead, canned food, offshore accounts, etc.

I see maybe a 20% chance of that happening in the next decade

>>12811034
imo... both.. also might not be a bad idea to have some type of crypto..

>not a big deal
how, everybody on minimum wage is now getting paid double???? How the fuck is that not a big deal

>>12811094
How is MMT not already the effective strategy of the US since 2001? Do you honestly think they planned to pay back the debt we have right now, or 5 years ago, or 10 or 15?

>>12810984
Up 0.04%. Very exciting day again.

>>12810984

Decent day. No big gains or anything but every single holding in my portfolio did what I thought it would do. Makes me feel wicked smart. I don't get these days very often so i'm soaking it in.

>>12811001

That's cool but i'll wait until gen 2 on these folding deals so the kinks can be worked out some first.

>>12811114
Because it doesn't happen overnight. Employers that can't break even will find ways to cut the costs elsewhere over 5 years.
If your business can't grow to the point where your employees earn double a pittance after 5 years, it sucks and should go under.

>>12810968
>my karmic choice if I'm a heavy drinker
GALT is a NASH/immunooncology company, so it's not a karmic pick for drinkers
NASH = non-alcoholic steatohepatitis

Did RH shit the bed?

>>12811144
That's retarded. Enforcing a high minimum wage will put a lot of businesses six feet under and render far less people employable.

>>12811146
It won't load AAAAAHHHHHHH

>>12811165
I agree with you and thing that market forces usually price things better. That being said we -do- have a minimum wage, and it's been outpaced by inflation for a long time. Earning beneath that gets you federal subsidies in the form of food stamps and other such things, so it's a really convoluted mess with no clean resolution.

>>12811144
i thought the whole talking point of $15 minimum wage was to push automation and put more people on gibs

>>12811133
no but when it goes mainstream they won't need to even pay lip service anymore, which means they'll go crazy and the whole budget will end up in a nuclear fucking meltdown and you'll be wiping your ass with billion dollar bills because a roll of toilet paper costs a trillion

>>12811165
Automation will help in a bunch of cases. You'll need less employees overall.

>>12811063
>KO is going to slowly and steady come back to 50

Looks positive. There was good buy volume today.

>>12811204
I thought the whole talking point of $15 minimum wage was to crash the economy

Realty Income (O) beat earnings again. Is there a more based REIT than the "Monthly Dividend Company"?

I got my eyes on YUMA, MTP, BIOC, and ARLO

>>12811145
Ok thanks. Looks like a good idea anyway.

>>12811233
it's to replace what works with what sounds good, like Thomas Sowell always said

but it would just be a regular recession and not the hyperinflationary nation-stopping crash that MMT's gonna bring

Which ticker are you hodling? The HMMJ is kind of in neutral leaning bearish territory right now. I can slap together my perspective on the TA of whatever your thing is if you like.

"get paid pupper"

>>12811491
"Modern Monetary Theory"

it goes like this:

the government controls the currency, all that shit about the Federal Reserve not being a branch of the government is a silly conspiracy theory

so the debt isn't real, it's just the fed and the treasury pretending to owe each other money

so the government can just issue more currency to buy whatever it wants

taxes don't raise money, because as we've just demonstrated, the money doesn't need to be raised, the government controls it. taxes just control inflation

now, all of these are basically true statements, from a certain point of view. problem is, the whole "act like the national debt is real" thing acts as a sort of control rod in the nuclear reactor of the economy.

problem comes when a True Believer gets elected, all of a sudden its time to spend whatever you want to spend on universal health care and basic income. (or if it's a right wing True Believer, on the military, whatever. right wingers aren't currently into heterodox economic policy, but who knows, could change).

raising taxes on everybody, right after you told everybody that you don't need taxes to pay for things, isn't politically tenable, so you get runaway hyperinflation.

that whole Green New Deal thing brought out a bunch of MMT acolytes, for example. keep an eye out, and buy ammo

There was some shithole in Africa where a guy got his pay check cashed at the bank. There were so many bills that he needed a wheelbarrow. Then some thieves came and stole his wheelbarrow, but left the cash behind. That's exactly what i think of whenever I hear about UBI, Medicare for all and the green deal.

The worst one, ACB.
I was in apha during the last bullrush and cashed out at 10. Took the profits and bought ACB, since it started climbing the latest I figured that it would last longer than the others, and I'd read articles saying it was undervalued and oversold/had the most potential in general.
Bought the top at 8 and have been averaging down ever since (I'm at 7.59 now).

I have a few shares of CRON too that are really low avgs but the profit is negligible compared to my -500$ loss on ACB.

Stop shilling garbage here

I'm hoping for big news out of the board of directors shakeup. Something to compete with Tilray.

Terry Booth is such a pussy though, it seems like he's hesitant toward expanding into the US because he's afraid of product being seized by feds.

GALT gonna hit 4.5 by end of week.

>>12812457
>ACB

Okay, chart isn't terrible on this one. Pic related is muh TA. Prices are in Canadian but the pattern is identical. Medium term falling trend puts resistance at $10, same price it initially rejected back in January. Rising channel remains intact for the time being. First support is $8.83 (the February 12th low). Second and more critical support is ~$8.17, the average lows on Jan 18, 22-24.

If I were holding ACB I would place a conservative stop just below $8.17. More aggressive stop would be just below $8.83. Just depends on how much wiggle room you feel comfortable allowing the price to move. Major thing to watch out for is another rise to $10, bounce down, break support. If that happens it's a head & shoulders as well as a violation of support, therefore strong bearish signal. If it blows past $10, that would be an early sign of possible technical bullish breakout, and good news for more gains to follow.

>>12812475

I also want to remind you REFR had a 100m market cap in 2000, 10 years before they even had a product... stocks trade on the future not the past sheesh.

>Terry Booth is such a pussy though, it seems like he's hesitant toward expanding into the US because he's afraid of product being seized by feds

To be fair to Terry, it's a valid concern.

does it matter how you perform against these indices?

>>12812542
Man options are such a scam.
Why don't you just buy shares? Unless REFR drops 29% (and you don't have a stop loss), you won't be losing any more than you would by paying for that option.

>>12812549
You mean 6.50

>>12812604

I have shares, options are my curveball. Summer will be fun

>>12812593

If you're constantly losing to the indices you need to rethink your strategy. Either throw in the towel and just buy the indices (with leverage if you're aggressive), or rejigger your individual stock strategy. Or both. Nothing wrong with a 50/50 index/individual stock portfolio. Or 75/25 index/stock or whatever.

If the product is WORTH my time I wouldn’t mind buyin in high and reducing average overtime, did it with Nvdia and T and never looked back, you don’t invest in some half price stock if there’s nothing there anymore, REFR makes a product far too expensive for the modern world to care about and maybe in 2020 it’ll be a great penny stock but right now this shit is a watch only
