Guys - all this info is pure gold and I'm trying to absorb as much as I can as I dove into this a few weeks ago. I've seen decent returns so far and am eager to learn.

My question - do y'all have any recommendations on books to read to acquire basic knowledge and fundamentals? TIA

Where do you have an account at? I only ask, because TDAmeritrade has an excellent resource center and if you activate Think or Swim, you can actually paper trade securities while you're learning. Seeing what your learning applied to stocks/options you're paper trading will spend up the process.

Also, this thread is extremely valuable and there's a wealth of market experience shared on here from different prospectives.

Not as automated or condensed as you're looking for, but companies should have that information broken down in their 10-K.

Don't know if this is the rug pull or not but keep in mind cases are not going down while cities and states are opening up. Investors may get the picture that Covid is not going away. Patiently waiting for 2500.
Or investors are going to realize that this is being blown out of proportion as more antibody testing takes place. I still think we see a solid pullback, but I think the narrative is going to begin shifting to a sense of herd immunity over the coming weeks. Look at Sweden.


Did you see NY estimated 12.3% exposure in information Cuomo released today?

Thank You, I have been digging around through 8-K filings lately I'll check out the 10-Ks as I am going through them.


I had found a few from searching the web, I had no idea that Smithfield Ham was Chinese owned now, nor about AMC theaters until recently.
8-K is really only for updating investors on material changes to the business or corporate events, etc. Consolidated financial info is in the 10Q or 10K.

I've always found Seeking Alpha to be the quickest way to access info on companies and the SEC filings are no exception. Took me a minute to open up NVDA's latest 10K from February in pdf form, ctrl-F for Asia, and there on page 67 you can see that they have $2,731m out of $10,918m in revenues from China during FY 2020, along with 2019 and 2018 info as well.

Another 2X to 3X required for herd immunity and the unknown on how long antibodies last.

To do business in China you generally have to have a Chinese subsidiary. If you have access to a tool that has subsidiary search capability I'd start there.

I think someone posted some big buying in 1/21 AAL puts, I meant to point out that there is a 100% chance that was an insider, now we know who they were an insider of

How does anyone, preferably everyone, look at PTON? Earnings are coming this week (May 6), and I own some shares. I'm looking to do some covered call trading (work limitations). Should I stick with it, or find a lower priced stock?

Covered calls seem like a good choice. If earnings go down you keep the premium so you've hedges against the stock going down. If it goes up then you probably get called out and you take your profits on to the next one

Helped you out.

In order to cover up insider trading people will buy options with a longer timeline. If they had bought 5/15 $9 puts knowing that Buffet was going to announce that BRK sold every airline stock it owns it would be a lot more obvious. They will only make $100,000,000 on this trade instead of $500,000,000.

I found the previous post and posted it above. Would be nice if I could tag you in that one. Buffet sold all of his airline stocks and announced it this weekend. Somebody made a huge bet that airline stocks would go down late last week.

Part of that could have been betting against the earnings calls. We all knew they'd be terrible and even beating estimates hasn't saved companies from a drop when there was bad news or outlook along with it.

...but yeah it smells like someone that knew something.

"Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway said on Friday it sold about 18% of its stake in Delta Air Lines and 4% of its holdings in Southwest Airlines this week"

This just sounds like rebalancing to me

SHOP, PYPL and DIS report earnings this week. SHOP had a flag pattern going which was violated Friday.

The rush to online sales has probably turned into a stampede with the virus shutdown. As a result of that, I expect good numbers out of SHOP.

No, read his quotes from the investor meeting. He is all out and sold at a loss.

Anyone going to be looking at shorting or puts on Monday? Long way down for next support for some of these airlines.

What you do with this kind of info is know that any buys below it will be instantly returned. It's how I played ROKU on its plunge below $92 VWap.

I have just been on Robinhood. Got in for the first time when the market bottomed out (hopefully) in March. At your suggestion, I've opened up an account with TDA and am in the process of transferring over funds to there. Interested to begin exploring their literature and resources as I progress in this. Thanks for the help.

I may not have much to offer to this thread, but over the past couple of weeks I've gone through and read the entire thing from beginning. Appears to be a real solid group of people here. It's pretty cool that we all have the same objectives (learn and grow wealth), but are all at various stages in our development. Looking forward to continuing to observe and take in as much information as y'all are willing to pass along. Thanks again!
