First for DF reorganizes as a milk flavored vape company

Imagine buying into a fucking milk brands company that had been on a long decline into pennies in the year 2019 when you can go to walmart and buy generic milk for ~$1. You could have been an AMDChad or WKHSChad instead but no no no you thought you were smart...

>>16230850
milkchads rise up!

Imagine being a faggot and not owning AMRN.

Boomers: Is the s&p really diversified enough, or should you hold some international index as well?

Gonna be holding this baby until July now.

>>16231256
na.. you're a lame

most of us have bluechips in our portfolio but why come to discuss boring shit? it's good to mix up your portfolio.. maybe find a few good companies.. put your DD into it and come in here to talk about it...

instead.. you come in here to do what?? what do you discuss? nothing? you come here to get other trade ideas.. understandable.. but why even post? why not just lurk in silence?

>>16231296
To counter, I wouldn't regard a person that buys and holds biotech penny stocks as possessing high analytical ability, but go off king. Maybe it will come good for you, who knows.

>>16231334
It's good to have your views challenged from time to time. If you want some ideas, check out UI, MDT, and SPLK.

Can't wait until the 14th when AMRN kicks the FDAs ass and then the buyout happens.

>UI
Innovative product line, almost Apple-like business model, but also not exclusive (can mix and match hardware). Really up and coming in the enterprise network hardware space. Relatively young company with lots of growth potential. Currently focused on U.S. and Canada, so potential to enter and grow in other markets still exists.

>MDT
Largest medical device company in the world. Do the math. Here's a hint: Ok Boomer.

>SPLK
Had a couple great quarters. Making inroads in enterprises that needs access to actionable real-time analytics and data analysis. Kind of a gamble as this space is getting/could get a bit crowded, but based Cramer loves em.

Just walked past someone at university on the phone talking about what's being pulled off of Netflix. She looked like a Becky or a Karen. Time to buy puts?

Ding ding ding! How did everybody to today? I'm down 1.13%, hard red across the board except for micky dee's. CGC earnings has me shook, I'm so scared even tho I hedgied with cheap $17 putties.
Slept for 2 hours last nite, blasting nasheeds over my headphones at work and fantasizing about the battle for port Midi. Also listening to hit new album Four of Arrows by Seattle based indie band Great Grandpa. Their lead single Mono No Aware makes me nostalgic for a summer I never had, give it a spin.

>>16231524
business.. economics.. and accounting have all helped me understand more about business and stocks.. investing in OTCmarkets and doing a lot of research into small companies have helped me understand a lot how publicly traded corporations work...

imo.. theres always benefits to learning more stuff

>>16231570

Up 4.5% good day overall looked into my company retirement account and I’m up 19% there so that’s even better

Listening in on the SNSS call now. Or, well, 25 minutes from now. Right now it's just classical music.

>>16231559
I expect the great plateu to happen sometime in 2021. But generally my sentiment is that Netflix will hit a growth brick wall (unless they get into merchandising their original series) and suddenly big money will be shifting around.

NVDA up or down?

I'm thinking down because overvalued and overbought but options are expensive right now.

Also rip in peace to Dean Foods, CURDLED for the last time it looks like? To think it's been 2 years we've been living, laughing, and loving with our cute airheaded cows ;_;

maybe I'm overestimating the intelligence of the average burger but it seems to me that sugary crap like ice cream and soda wont be as popular in the future.

RIP DF. Glad I never I touched you. Always remember /smg/, gamble with small amounts relative to your portfolio
>>16231599
I bought 12 shares of SNSS in your honor.

>>16231678
Nah, I think we will see at least some upside until eoy. I don't expect anything today though

>>16231448
The only reason not to buy. I really want to though. Instead I bought some SMFG and I’m considering the rest of their holdings.

>>16231570
Getting ABSOLUTELY SKULLFUCKED in GEO. Bought more. Way overexposed. Trimmed some TACO, been buying lower so it makes sense to sell a bit when it’s higher, even if it hasn’t hit the mark yet.

Bought GLAXO and SUMITOMO. BBought a lot of GEO and GALT. Bought PEPSI and some GROCERY OUTLET.

IM GETTING SCARED IVE BOUGHT TOOOOOOO MUUUUUUCH SHIIIIIIIIIT.

That blue segment is my dry powder. I have a separate Bear Fund but to have so little in my trading account is fucking stupid.

>>16231524
altought might help find a job, degrees wont help you with trading or investing. economics etc. is mostly general information, accounting can help somebody if they would want to read stock reports but that is quite bad style of investing itself. so trading is not taught skill and talent mostly. all the few hedge managers who are actually good definitely dont spend their time earning pennies and teaching retarded kids at class rooms :O

>>16231646
Wish I listened to that anon shilling AMRN over and over instead of the DF shills.

Opinions on buying calls/puts just in case?

>>16231570
Robinhood says I'm up even though the moment trading comes online for DF I'm gonna lose a sizeable amount of money. Why has it been halted all day anyways? Is it gonna be halted until bankruptcy proceedings are done?

Mono no Aware and Treat Jar are the clear standouts, both powerful singles. Rosalie is very good too, so is Split up the Kids but it's at a different pace, v sad, should have been the last song on the album.

Half of my degree is in business, the other half is tech. >>16231578 is right, those basic level finance, accounting, and business class really help you put all of your general knowledge into something concrete and useful

>>16231524
I have a degree in history. You can learn everything you need to about finance on investopedia. The experience comes from holding your first bag, and no amount of classroom education will prepare you for the highs and lows that come with risking your own money.

SNSS beat earnings again with -0.06 it looks like, estimate was -0.08

A little bit of AAAAAAAA all over
Took some profits

>>16231723
>Is it gonna be halted until bankruptcy proceedings are done?
it'll probably resume trading when it hits the pinks and it'll probably have a different ticker.. maybe something like DFQ.. then it'll probably run down till they completely wipe the equity and come out clean and get listed back on a NYSE.. but everyones equity will go to zero.

What does that mean?

>>16231816

>>16231851
it'll most likely delist to OTCmarkets and when it does it'll be a pink sheet...

>>16231873
Oh I see how long does that stuff usuaully take? Had a penny stock i bailed on months ago. Trading halted and even after a few weeks it didnt seem to be in otc market which from what people said online seems rare for it to go that long. Dodged a trainwreck there.

>>16231851
If a company can't maintain an adequate price to remain trading on a major stock exchange they will be delisted and trade as pink sheets aka over the counter stocks. Not being traded on a real exchange makes them weird and sketch af basically, you have to rely on quotes to determine their value. If you know what you're doing with a specific company it's possible to make great profits if they get re-listed, but many otc stocks wallow in obscurity forever.

Seems SNSS is already on the 400mg cohort for their Veca trials. That means 200 and 300 are done and will be presented at ASH. They had mild efficacy at 100, and their safety profile is strong enough that going as high as 500 is acceptable. This is good news.

>>16231872
this almost makes me not want to have a steak tonight...almost

Why the fuck didn’t I believe in the T-baby prophecy with more conviction?

I’m so happy for you T-baby sensei. You’re going to be able to build a much bigger nursery.

Should I be buying more? Wait for a pullback tomorrow? It’s not going to pullback THAT far though...

>>16231894
i think it depends.. if they have any convertable debt on the books they might convert and dump for awhile.... sometimes it goes quick and sometimes it just lingers..

>>16231570
Flatish. Enbridge, Blackberry, Air Canada, and McDonald's were the day's green bull representatives. I bought Enerflex, an oil/gas equipment supply company. Suncor red but within acceptable. Stupid TRUL stupid dude weed fugging etc etc same story as all year (stopped out). CNR choo choo trains pulling back and I opted to skim off half profit just in case it feels like trending down further and threatening my stop.

>>16231915

>>16231386

>lost $20 on DF
Why the fuck do I listen to you retards.
Also any other stocks I should dump cash into?

Is APHRIA a good and profitable dudeweed, or did they just cook the books?

Also I'm playing with a new indicator that I may use as my primary sell siren. Qualitative Quantitative Estimation (MT4 version). Right off the hop I like it better than my current, which is stochastic RSI but with wildly different settings than default. My problem with the modified Stoch RSI is it would occasionally tell me to sell right in the middle of a strong bullish trend and no amount of increasing the period length was able to prevent that while maintaining the valid signals in the process.

Speaking of which the thing I love the most about tradingview is the community indicators. People have programmed all sorts of stuff and some of it ain't half bad at all.

>>16231386
This stock is BASED

>>16231983
Double down on DF as soon as trading resumes, as long as they're below 1.95
If they're over 1.95, sell

no negative safety events through 300mg, and saturation point was already reached if you didn't catch that. They are trying increased doses to see if they can do even better than what is required. They've already got it.

>>16231983
Watching HUYA tonight er and tomorrow check it out haven't seen it mentioned in thread

Is there at least a chance of a death spasm from Dean Foods at least? What a disaster. $1,000: gone. My smile and optimism: gone.

>>16231996
They appear to be cooking the books in an ostensibly legal way. I don't think APHA is any worse than ACB or CGC though. Given druthers, and I will have my druthers, VFF is and will be the strongest candidate for mad gains (on Canadian companies) if/when weed goes bullish proper again.

Lol that question right after the first question. Had i listened to the amrn shill id be up, instead i listened to df shills

>>16232043
Did you buy shares or options?
I sold puts and bought a call. Almost $3,000 worth.

Pic very related unless something happens and i keep my money.

>>16231925
Think I can get away with half? Or is it just straight to 0? What about my covered calls?

>>16231701
>gamble with small amounts relative to your portfolio
Exactly why my gains from AMRN’s insane 20% rally only nets me like $30. Shit sucks bruh.

>>16232133
i haven't a clue....

>>16232112
400% from last year the same quarter. Total revenue was still down more than expected

>>16232112
That’s cool, and they x6’d the weed they moved, but they HALVED PRICES and missed earnings by what, 60-70% EPS?

>>16232130
Just bought shares. Something tells me that we're all gonna get /CHEAPIES'd/ hard soon.

>>16231728
thx m8. I hope you have AMRN. I've been shilling it here for a while.

AMRN, Nothing seems to stand in its way now! Next stop the Ass kicking and the Holy Buyout. Yes its tempting to sell and run like hell now but hold fast, wait for the Holy Buyout. See your profit double. Its 20.x now, the Holy buyout would pump it to 40.x. Or after the stock rises even more after the ass kicking and final green light, you'd be getting 60 per me thinks.

P.S DF turned into a rather big old shat didn't it? Pity all those people who tossed in a lot of Green other day. Very real chance that Green's gone for good now.

P.S # 2- Surrender to the Fat Divvy!

>>16232106
Hope not too well, I sold $1 calls 11/15 and 12/20

WHERE IS BANK INSPECTOR ANON?!
I’m very curious about these capital one “cafe’s” and stuff they’re talking about in the WSJ.

Apparently they’re experimenting with a more “chill” vibe. Helping customers open new accounts on iPads...

>>16232241
Bless you sir. A real shame they have you pushing paper and not managing those government pensions. As I said earlier, I’m very happy for you.

>>16232241
Gained 24.41% on AMRN alone. That's nothing compared to what's a coming. The Holy buyout would see that double

How could I make such a bad decision

>sold NBRV after holding it for months
>lost an assload of money on options, wanted to get my money out of there and put it into better things
>didnt realize earnings was today
>did good and spiked up a bit

Honestly I don't even know why I bother

>>16232241
I agree.
>In MARINE trial, on average, along with diet changes, adults with very high triglycerides experienced a 33% reduction without raising LDL-C vs. placebo
These findings are so significant.
Here's a look at the scenario coming up:
If you control for the effectiveness of the drug when they go to FDA trail and look at their success rate, Amarin's results put them in the top 20th percentile (conservative estimate). With this in mind, I would say Amarin's drug is going to pass.

>>16232280

That sounds fucking stupid and asinine. McDonald’s gets a pass on turning restaurants into cafe’s because it’s already a food establishment, a bank isn’t and shouldn’t be a coffee house though.

>>16232480
Yeah but all banks should give you coffee and cookies already when you go there
So they might as well give you good coffee and good cookies
It means their employees at the branch get to enjoy good coffee too, so it's a win-win

>>16232241
how much to make it?

>>16232525
500k

I'm a complete retard and for some reason I thought I could just set up an ETrade account and make money. I started out with a miserly $210 and have managed to fuck myself down to about $175.
So how bad exactly are JWCAF and TNK? Because I sure as fuck have no idea what I'm doing.

>>16232536
fuck, hopefully I can keep winning my option plays and get there.

>>16232525
>options
why didn't I think about this.

>>16232571
Are you being sarcastic? I have saved my portfolio since I started supplementing with options.

>>16232480
You gotta evolve your thinking a bit.

Exhibit 2: this new capital one commercial

>>16232553
Joke is on you I've fucked myself out of 1200 dollars, bet that is over 50 or 60 percent of my total investment.

Just learn from your mistakes. Eventually you will get numb and also work on becoming better. Read a lot more books and you can git gud.

>>16232030
>as soon as trading resumes
Anon, I...

>>16232553
If I were you I would put some into:
>Amarin
>Yext
>Okta
>Twilio
>Square
>Chipotle (it will go up around 30% by this time next year because of their new drive through stores they're opening)

You can also play the dips on BA and Microsoft. But I think playing it safe is best. Also, find a way to make some NEET bux if you don't have a job so you can get more money in return for your investment.

If you can get 20k or 30k in your investment account, that would be very good.

>>16232597
No I'm serious, I think it's smart. Are you buying calls and puts? Or are you also doing covered calls and shorting companies?

>>16232553

That’s literally nothing compared to what people have lost learning the hard way. Which is the only way, unless you were born into a good wealthy family. I’ve never ever heard of those tickers so they must be somewhat bad.

>>16231607
Holy fuck I want one of these
>>16231066
Saudis are owned by no one. Look at how every country is tonguing their asshole right now. It’s unbelievable that no one talks about how powerful the Saudis are, I’m starting to think they actually run the world.

>>16232643
>20k or 30k
Yeah that would be great. I could use some of that white privilege sometime soon.

>>16232657
Combo of calls and puts pic related is one of my trades from last week. My style is keep them small and quick but consistent. so far it has brought my folio from an all time low to an all time high.
I have not gotten into covered calls and I thought that buying puts is what people referred to as "shorting". Is shorting something other than buying puts?

Heh, very good day for me, hell even PINS is crawling up from the down spiral. MF funds have yet to update though but oh well. But at least DF is in talks already with someone to buy them. So maybe something can be salvaged from it. But normally shareholders get the shaft from these deals. Everyone else gets paid first.

Oh god that picture.

>>16232553
Better to start slow and easy before dumping a lot over into it. Start out with a S&P fund first. That way at least your not tied to just one stock/market sector and your odds of making money improve. Hey at least you didn't be a dumb ass and get 200k in debt like some bright lad did (options turned on him big time)

>>16232775
>>16232640
>wanna come over and wrench on an engine together? i just got a case of pabst and new engine hoist

>>16232241
Should I go all in on buy calls with 10k? I stand to lose about 3k to DF. Howver that is a notable amount. Time frame on the expiration date?

>>16232750
>20k
Yeah that was a goal I was giving you anon. Plan for the future and set goals. No need to be defensive unless you plan on never saving up that much money kek

Here are some more practical solutions:
If you're a neet, I would suggest working a wagie job, even minimum wage is fairly high depending on which state you live in desu. If you're not a NEET and you already have a job but are barely scrapping by, I would suggest looking at finding a niche community and filling a void there anon. Communities can be extremely lucrative.
Hope that helps, anon. And since your starting with around $175 I would suggest playing it safe. As you make money from the methods I told you about you can invest more into other stocks. But stick with something like Microsoft, and with the left over money buy YEXT or Amarin. Again, just play it safe for now until you get a handle on things. Even if Microsoft, YEXT, or Amarin go down 3% in a day, don't panic sell because that will lock in your losses. Better to wait a week and a half after a large loss that came out of no where because usually losses like that will recover over a period of 1 to 2 weeks.
Cheers m8.

I would at this point though I’m not sure I’d do it with calls

>>16232825
Well I'd expect AMRN stock to dip some, people taking the quick profit while it's there, you know. But 11/14 is the next meeting, which going from the news today looks to be a rubber stamp deal by the FDA. The real make or break meeting for AMRN comes on Dec 28th. They pass this, they have all the cards. Nothing can stop them. Profit out the ass is a lock for ten years. Luckily 70% of cases if a drug passes this advisory meeting with FDA (11/14) then they get approved by the FDA later (12/28). Again, the news today, the odds of getting that Green light are very very high now. If Big Pharma don't make an offer now or before the year is done, well they're fools. After Dec 28th the cost to buy AMRN shoots up tons. Make no mistake though, a Buyout will happen. To much Profit there to let just pass by.

>>16232754
>My style is keep them small and quick but consistent
I was doing the same thing last year. Nice.
Yeah there's a few ways to short a company.
>short calls
>short selling
>buying puts
Those are all bearish moves someone can make.

For any anons looking to try it, I'd recommend short selling. This article explains it clearly:
>Short sellers borrow shares of stock that they do not own (typically from their broker’s street account) and sell those shares at the current market price. The goal is to re-buy those shares of stock at a lower price in the future and then return the borrowed shares to the lender. Short sellers are hoping they can profit off of the difference between the proceeds from the short sale and the cost of buying back the shares, referred to as short covering.
So you barrow the shares from a broker and sell them basically immediately, and then you buy the same amount of shares at the lower price later on and return it to the original broker. You're just making money on the difference.

Selling a call or buying a put are probably the more popular choices though.

This is Ralph Scozzafava, the former CEO of Dean Foods and destroyer of shareholder value. Say something nice about him!

>>16232996
Estimates of how much money can be made from a buyout? I'm trying to figure out the ceiling here. Could the marketcap reach 18 billion?

>>16233015
WHY IS HE STARING THROUGH MY BRAIN TO THE BACK OF MY SKULL

>>16232996
If Big Pharma does wait till after Dec 28th, sometime in the first part of 2020 would be the next deal window. Before the stock has a chance to move any higher. Remember, the avg price is 30, the high is 50. We're already past 20 now. There's no way it's gonna tank unless some real shady shit happens on the 28th. After Dec expect the stock to move even higher on the great news. The higher the price, the more Big Pharma pays out. The Fatter your baggie gets. To the tune of x 2 the stock price, whatever it may be at the time they ink the deal.

>>16232958
Explain?

>>16232996
Ahh you must be the shill I ignored in favor of the DF shills. I can tell by your writing style.

>>16233008
Trying to decide but want them. Bad part is theyre really high on premium. Literally have to go down to $8 call strike to get it at barely current price when premium is taken into account.

>>16233015
Thanks for the cheapies, Ralph!

>>16233015
Reeeee whyd you wait until now to announce a bankruptcy. Why not last week! I saw the info (idk if true, remember seeing something but cant find it anymore) suggesting you guys had already considered filing bankruptcy for a few months! Reeeeee did you have high level insiders who were tipped off and slowlyy selling until yesterday!?

>>16232988
Space is 3d, right?
So is it more like a density change or is it bending into the 4th dimension?

>>16233051
Well my case If I sold now I'd walk away with over 17,000. Why'd I do that when I can wait for the Holy Buyout and get 40,000 - 48,000 instead. Now this is a real long shot, I seriously doubt it'd get this far but the high is 50 right, well a buyout would x 2 that, so I'd get 100 a share. 80,000.00

>>16233174

Think your head might be in the clouds a bit anon. Not all buyouts go parabolic. Google is buying fit and it topped out at 7 bucks and some change. I agree you could see 40,000+ bucks and I’m glad someone here is making it however

>>16233174
>>16233228
This. Sell you faggot before you end up as a bagholder

>>16233174
80,000.00 could be 1.4 million or 2.8 billion times 2 but after taxes probably only 2.2 billion but if you wait long times 3 turbo maybe a few trillion the same amount of Jews that were holocausted so 6 gorillion

>>16233228
Heh, yeah I know, that's why I said it was a real long shot. Still I'd be damn happy with 40,000. 48,000 is more likely (30 share price x 2 x 800). But hell, give me 40,000 and I'd sell in a heart beat.

By my estimation it's not time to sell yet and definitely too early to start thinking about shorting the market if you're inclined in that direction. Trend remains intact with momentum health 'fair', dropped down from 'good', because of the early warning sign of the steady decrease in daily average volume.

For reference, muh momentum strength levels are, from best to worst:

Never that much and never that fast. The most down I've ever been was 20% back in Dec last year. That's where I stopped buying garbage and put it all in ETFs and blue chips like T, MSFT, AAPL. I made it all back by not buying shit, but then I got too cocky and bought some motherfucking Dean Foods, and now I'll be out a $1000 tomorrow, heh. I really need to stop buying garbage just because it tanks.

>>16234903

Tesla surging and LCI dumping on air is where most of it happened. But I could handle it because maybe disney or KBLB would bail me out and I could make some income from covered calls to rebuild capital and enter new positions. All failed. Went from being highly profitable for the year to losses.

If the price goes sideways near the recent top for a few days to a week or so or more (there's no specific time frame) that's a bull flag. Pic related. Bull flags and bear flags are among the more reliable candle formations, as candle formations go.

looks like a weak buy signal atm and will go down soon based on Stochastic. It's already close to hitting it's resistance line. I haven't done my homework on the company, but unless there's something news worthy on the way to push it up higher than this isn't a good buy.

>>16235233
Also note that there is a volume component to these patterns. There should be big volume on the initial spike up (the flag pole) and then volume should drop significantly when price is crabbing around near the upper 25% of it.

It's still too expensive unless you have some optimistic insight about it. The dividend payout is higher than 100% of the prior year's EPS. P/E is over 20. The best argument I can think of is the hope that someone will come along and buy the company at a steep premium, but that's somewhat doubtful.

>>16230875
That's a valid concern, but I wouldn't counsel investing in foreign indices. As a rule foreign stocks are for losers, and USA is number 1. I don't say that to preclude all foreign investment whatsoever, only that it ought to be done with more care and scrutiny. Rather than just investing some arbitrary percentage in some generic foreign fund, brushing off your hands, saying you are now sufficiently diversified, be more discriminating and choose more targeted funds or individual concerns according to what you think will perform well. We should also diversify our domestic holdings as well. Rather than 100% in some SPX fund, a good strategy would be to keep a 401k (which you should be fully-funding up to your employer's match) 100% on a SPX fund, and your IRA in 100% LCI common stock. That way LCI will juice your returns, but you won't totally lose your shirt if the Democrats get in power and put LCI out of business.

I really like the look of KHC. Dividens yield is okay. Debt is high (I think), but money is free now. They'll be able to refinance all their debt at negative rates and get paid to borrow more money. People are saying stupid stuff about them like how people only eat organic, "natural" foods. That's obviously false, and besides, Kraft had the best macaroni and cheese product on the market, and they even reformulated the recipe to use all "natural" ingredients for anyone who cares. There is just no way that Kraft won't be here in 50 years. The company has all the ingredients to succeed.

Indian anon here. I'm long ITC. My family owns millions of dollars of stake. It's a 100 year old company and has grown 28% in stock price for the last 20 years.

They are moving into FMCG by deploying a part of their crazy cash flows. Govt of India owns a large stake in the company through its proxies so they would do anything to protect the company.

Doesn’t sound like the thesis is exporting. The thesis is that there’s probably a shitload of customers already in India, and the government has created a moat for to prevent foreign competition from competing in the marketplace. And people love smoking. You could say it’s habit forming.

>>16237108
its a almost decent company that had some problems, got shorted the fuck out (like as short as possible), recently reported some progress, dropped even further, anons screaming and scramblin, feelings got hurt, losses were made, some won't give up (which makes sense) and by looking at the price, I guess that a lot of shorts are gone now.

>>16237057
Fast moving consumer goods. They are also building hospitals, luxury hotels and venturing into agritech. I see these as vanity projects, where they are deploying small amounts of capital.

Most of their operating cashflows are being invested into FMCG. Basically everyday consumer products like chips, biscuits, frozen foods, chocolates, perfumes etc. Much of India's growth is consumer driven growth so good place to invest. Plus the govt. has cut tax rates massively. Do note that you will have to be patient. This is a long term story. The stock price hasn't moved in 5 years. My family has held the company for decades.

I can get around 6% in my bank deposit, 7.5% with fixed deposits or upto 12% in govt bonds(all local currency). Subtract that with 3.5% to get rates in USD.

Because they will probably require mandatory research tax, introduce drug price limits and what not. U haven't paid attention to politics?

>I’m curious about how his currency reform has worked
Reckless. It has caused a huge slowdown in the economy, but India long term is a consumer bull run. Even in the worst slowdown in the last 10 years, ITC delivered a 6% volume growth and 35% net profit growth.

gonna make it lads

>That doesn’t sound like a problem for big business
yeah, sure, because consumer financial situation doesn't matter, boomer

>His tone deaf attitude towards Indian business, is what that should say
Look 20 years back India was almost a fully commie country, with 95% taxation for the rich. You can't expect change overnight, Modi or not. It'll take time. Most of Indian growth will be in consumer spending. Per capita income is growing in double digits on average for the last few years. I own consumer stocks or proxy consumer stocks in India and Google/Facebook in US.

It’s a generic drug company, not the stuff the Dems want to get rid of, and not the stuff trump has been bashing in regards to high priced drugs from big pharma.

Political action could help them because generics help keep prices down, but that’s very likely. Most likely is it’s a non issue.

Some people here are so simple minded, it’s like they short circuit if you go against their political narrative. It’s the other side of the coin for TDS.

As long as the people can still wage slave themselves into the grave to afford rickshaw rides and chicken tendies, it really doesn’t matter in the short-medium term.

Also speciality chemicals/biotech stocks are doing well in India but I don't understand the sectors they operate in so stay away.

I like that thesis and it makes sense if we look at what’s happening in the US and China.

What are your favorites? Have Indians gotten into gaming yet? Why aren’t they all buying more quality games for their Nintendo™ Switches?

Also interesting

Nicely done!

>Have Indians gotten into gaming yet?
Gaming has exploded so has social media like TikTok. Both are only restricted to mobile. Nintendo doesn't even officially sell Switch in India. You have to buy it from importers.

In India software = mobile. Everyone has extremely cheap LTE(I pay 1$/month for unlimited LTE, calling, SMS) and Chinese mobile phones(likes of Oppo, Xiaomi, Oneplus).

I own ITC, Syngene(pharma contract outsourcing company), Thyrocare(diagnostics company with asset lite business model) and Cera(toilet making company that has had explosive growth kek). There are some wonderful businesses in consumables but they are trading at insane valuations. I like Titan and Asian Paints too but they are trading at 70-80 P/E. Look at Diageo and Unilever. You can buy them in US/UK market. A large amount of their growth is from developing markets like India.

To add consumer banks are doing very well. Bajaj Finance is growing at 50% for the past 10 years or so. HDFC also doing very well. But I don't understand financials so don't buy them. My family portfolio has HDFC bank in large quantities. Family portfolio is managed by my grandpa.

One word of caution before investing in India or EMs: There is a lot of fraud and junk so you need to be extremely careful and stock specific. If you have any queries just shoot them across on /smg/. I regularly end up browsing threads here and will reply if I see any India specific queries.
