QuantumScape Is A tramp! Building a better EV battery Scott Levine (QuantumScape): With the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite down about 13% and 22%, respectively, since the start of the year, investors don't have to look hard to find discounted growth stocks. But finding unstoppable growth stocks trading at a discount -- that can be tougher. One such stock that investors will want to consider is QuantumScape. The company is focused on developing solid-state batteries for use in electric vehicles. And compared to the lithium-ion batteries that power them now, solid-state batteries offer several advantages, including the ability to charge faster and provide greater range. But QuantumScape is still in the pre-revenue phase -- it's currently developing prototypes of its batteries. In fact, management doesn't expect to begin commercial manufacture of its solid-state batteries until 2024. Even though it has some road to travel before it can begin to generate sales, QuantumScape has convinced some prominent partners to come along for the ride. Recognizing the significant potential of the solid-state battery solution, Volkswagen has been collaborating with QuantumScape since 2012. In addition, QuantumScape has inked agreements with two top-10 original equipment manufacturers -- one of which has expressed interest in forming a joint venture with it. And EVs aren't the only market for QuantumScape's innovative power solution. The company has also partnered with Fluence Energy, which hopes to use solid-state batteries in its energy storage applications. Currently priced at around $12, shares of QuantumScape appear to be in the bargain bin considering that they've traded between $10 and $43.08 over the past year. It may take a few years before QuantumScape's solid-state batteries start rolling off the assembly line, but when they do, investors may be looking at some electric returns.
When I looked at it and saw it was down, I looked at my other favorite casino stock. You said your one broker says ABB is always $32.... my BYD is always $60. Boyd Gaming. $55 today. Might be a buy.
Stoney!!!! They're buying every dip in tech.... we may get a reversal into the close. If the q's take out 292.50, its off to the races. Big if, but the support does seem to be coming in. 290 now
I've been working on the fertilizer question all this time.Digging deeper and deeper. Ted you raised the weather and lack rain so I've been reading upon that and how much USA farmers might curt back their applications of fertilizer. In the end I come down on the side of fertilizer. I plan to make a LARGE investment in Nutrien.> Nutrien maintains bullish analyst views as fertilizer prices seen higher for longer Jun. 10, 2022 3:23 PM ETNutrien Ltd. (NTR) Nutrien (NYSE:NTR) was reiterated with an Overweight rating at Barclays on Friday, a day after the world's largest fertilizer producer hosted its investor day and said it will raise its Canadian potashproduction 20% from current levels by 2025. Barclays bumps up his Nutrien (NTR) stock price target by $10 to $126 to reflect anticipated higher EPS given the doubling of share buybacks and a more optimistic outlook on margins in the short term. Analyst Benjaimn Theurer remains bullish on overall higher crop prices that likely will remain above 10-year averages for the foreseeable future "justifying higher fertilizer prices for longer." Nutrien (NTR) interim CEO Ken Seitz said it will take at least several years to replenish global crop supplies and for Russian and Belarussian potash trading volumes to return to normal levels. Bank of America also affirmed its Overweight rating, as "market fundamentals and trading levels are too attractive to ignore," and preferring Nutrien (NTR) to Dow Inc. and other petrochems that it says are largely past their earnings peaks. NEXT WEEKS BUY--- NTR
AMD CEO: We're laser focused on technology leadership 18:41 AMD In an interview on CNBC's Mad Money, Lisa Su said AMD currently has significant scale.

AMD is generating a lot of cash and she expects that continue.
