A huge £9m trade in one go only just shown up on the trade list, but seems to have been placed at 09.44 this morning.
Odd that they bought at todays absolute high.
Maybe its actually a sell?
They often get listed incorrectly, buys and sells.
Wow I've been so busy today. First chance I've had to look at the portfolio. I'd cleverly minimised my trackers and friday PM had pumped into SMT, ARB and MSTR.
Bitcoin down 10% isn't helping but I guess It'll be back up soon enough.
Just checking portfolio value change;
Bugger.....
TSLA tanking.
Buying ACTG @ $8.38

Yep, was close to buying some more this morning. Damnit.
If you haven't heard of the vomiting camel, read this.
Ahem. ARK getting killed today.
Everybody knows what they own, retail investors are selling their funds, making ARK a forced seller in the names which everybody knows they will sell. Big accounts and hedge funds are frontrunning them, heavily selling their core holdings. In a way poetic justice, as the same happened on the way up when all sorts of accounts were buying their holdings.

Somebody I follow on Twitter wrote today that if we applied the same EV/sales as Toyota, Tesla should trade at $40.
I doubt if he'll ever regain the trust he lost; he did lose people rather a lot of money after all. Though he was enabled in this by crappy oversight, and HL didn't really cover themselves in glory either.
Closing half of my SP500 short here.
Someone who lies about the little things will lie about the big things too.
Is Tesla the modern day Cisco?
CINE looking good to become another double-bagger for me, long before I thought it would.
Travel based stock doing well, hopefully the rise continues as we break out of lockdown and start losing our financial minds booking up the Costas..
Am I missing something on airline stocks, which feel like a trap to me. Yes the world is beginning to turn again, albeit slowly, but theres no guarantee we'll be flying again in numbers at all is there? Talk of vaccine passports, restrictions on foreign travel etc. At least this year looks pretty ominoua, and this is from someone who has a 2 week summer holiday abroad booked but not feeling confident it will go ahead.
Could be 2 or 3 years if ever before the sky's are full of planes again I think...long haul business travellers are gone and very likely that's never coming back in the same numbers, which'll make long haul dearer for the rest so fewer will be able to afford to do it.
Speaking selfishly, it'd be for the best I think if everyone avoids the beaches in Europe this year.

DAX is proving barbers don't need to be open for you to get a haircut. The farm is willing to shear you like a sheep.
I'm not exactly sure, just offering an opinion though you're right of course about post 911. Very different events, time scales and consequences to be fair though. Also now and going forwards theres' the growing awareness of climate crisis/ human impact upon the planet, not so much 20 years ago, which could weigh upon attitudes, individual, political, corporate... once we finally get beyond this immediate covid malarky.
Mind you I've no interest in airline stawks so makes no difference to me in that sense.
Jeez 20th anniversary of 911 in September...can still remember that morning, worked in Philly then, advised to go home by the Mayor later in the day because they thought there might be another plane possibly going to come down on the Liberty Bell, Centre City finance district.

Tesla getting smashed again today, my 3STS position is circa 30% up and life is pretty darn sweet again.
Sold SP500 again @ 3,853, trimming some SPAC and strategic positions. Not selling anything completely.
Also got a fill on a $8.60 buy order for KOPN a little earlier (traded at $12.55 yesterday morning). Crazy world.
If Tesla and BTC get hit hard by the incoming US traders this could become really ugly.
Ive come to think that its impossible to make money out of physical networks. Transport networks, telecomms networks, broadcast networks... We all rely on them and some people make money but the margins always seem to evaporate over time and the capital investment and innovation needed is overwhelming.
I bought a little INO just to join in the fun and whilst it's gone down of late I'm happy to hold for the long term if needs be. Just wondered if the view on this stock had changed at all?
The majority of my SIPP is in managed funds and changes rarely, although I did convert a significant percentage to cash last year for a few months but reinvested when the anticipated big crash didn't happen. Glad I did but I missed out on c5% growth as a result.
I self invest a small amount from time to time, mainly with well established stocks like Lloyds, Rolls Royce etc primarily because I enjoy the risk/reward involved but the last 3 stocks I've held for several months have only returned to profit in the last week so I won't be giving up the day job just yet!
