As usual I will tell you the WHOLE story on PLTR. There was a concentrated effort to lift the price. 1st they mentioned it on CNBC then they interviewed a guy that follows Robin Hood and looks for the most talked about stocks he singled out PLTR then they took a commercial break and came back with the guy with the Queens Gambit under his chin and he had " unusual " options -PLTR- then they cut to the Chinese dude who said Oh PLTR is moving now... And that dog climbed up over some number was it $28 and then started to drift and drift and pretty soon it was only up 50 cents.. Then they mention Cathy Wood likes it... Finally one of the goons in the boxes says PLTR is going to get alot of Gov contracts- Biden needs them... Sort of the opposite of what I have been saying. It was a mass hazing! I'm thinking... humm what about LDOS Leidos... they compete for many of the same contracts, they just warned so the bad news is out of the way what about going Long LDOS? ~stoney
powell is talking around noonish, which i imagine will calm people, at least temporarily, so probably best to get buy orders in before. that's what happened last week. but, then again, who knows.
this is true...not so sure i would buy PTLR today. it does seem like they pumped it last night. might drop back to 23ish. though. who knows. might go up to 30 instead! but there's probably other stuff to buy that is really low right now.
Stoney! Where are you? It's the big sell-off.-- -Jesus 5 days ago when my indicators flashed you said relax!!! What is happening? Tech is having a valuation moment. You had better have the earnings. They say it's the 10 year bond... Don't believe it- it's the Chip Shortage. And it's the unwinding of Cathy Wood. Will Wood Take Down The MARKET! I should of known when my brother-in-law is copying this chick that there was trouble on the horizon. The younger generation thinks of her as a god. She has changed their view of investing. Investing is now fun like gambling.> Cathie Wood’s ARKK is under fire Mar. 04, 2021 8:05 AM ETARK Innovation ETF (ARKK) Ark's flagship fund ARK Innovation(NYSEARCA:ARKK)managed by Cathie Wood is under fire again. ARKK closed another 6.29% Wednesday aftera selloff in some of its major holdings. Zillow which represents 2.76% of ARKK's holdings fell 9.59% Wednesday, Roku was down 6.46% which is ARKK’s second largest holding and Tesla ARKK’s top holding which represents 9.56% of the fund was also down 5.06%. Since ARKK’s peak back on February 16ththe fund has plummeted 21.66% going from $159.70 to Wednesday’s close of $125.11. Furthermore, in the pre-market ARKK is down again, so far another 1.07% trading at $123.77. The disruptive and innovative fashion that Cathie Wood stands by is having market participants stop and scratch their heads. Being that the fund has a focus on long-term growth it means they have placed short term profitability in the rearview mirror. Two thirds of its total holding did not earn a profit last year which is concerning to many. ARKK is not the only ETF by Cathie Wood that is catching heat. See how ARK Innovation (ARKK), ARK Autonomous Technology & Robotics(BATS:ARKQ), ARK Next Generation Internet(NYSEARCA:ARKW)and ARK Genomic Revolution ETF(BATS:ARKG)all faired against the S&P 500 since the beginning of February 2021.
It's funny PACK has seemed like dead money for a while but if you look at 6 moth chart it's up 99%!!!! Probably something here worth looking at.. Going to dig through the numvers later. American Outdoor Brands called a multi-year winner by B. Riley- I wonder if this isn't a good play on guns! Mar. 04, 2021 7:54 AM ETAmerican Outdoor Brands, Inc. (AOUT) B. Riley Securities starts off coverage on American Outdoor Brands(NASDAQ:AOUT) with a Buy rating. Analyst Eric Wold noted: "Following its recent spin-off from Smith & Wesson Brands, we believe AOUT is increasingly well positioned to benefit from the impressive 'rugged outdoor' activity participant growth during the pandemic and the related product demand tailwinds that we expect to benefit the company and industry in the years ahead." Wold and team think the solid, debt-free balance sheet at AOUT after the separation gives management the firepower to take advantage of a robust acquisition environment to gain market share penetration and build upon already attractive industry growth trends. B Riley assigns a price target of $32 to AOUT vs. theaverage Wall Street PT of $27.25. Summary American Outdoor Brands spun off from Smith and Wesson in mid-2020 and is still hovering around the same price levels despite record-breaking revenues and growth. American Outdoor Brands is composed of well-known industry-leading brands specializing in gun accessories and the outdoors. American Outdoor Brands is trading about 40% lower than what Smith & Wesson paid to acquire it several years ago in a more depressed environment. Thesis American Outdoor Brands (AOUT) spun off from Smith and Wesson in July of 2020. AOUT is composed of both outdoor and gun accessory brands. Due to COVID and the subsequently accelerated affinity for outdoor activities, about half of AOUT’s brands have experienced triple-digit growth yoy. Given AOUT’s strong brands and their success in e-commerce and DTC, we believe AOUT is in a terrific position to take advantage of the record number of hunters and campers that have recently entered the market. Background AOUT is composed of an assortment of brands that is a result of Smith and Wesson’s acquisition spree over the past five years.The total purchase price of these brands was about 360 mm (SWBI paid about 2x revenue or about 10x EBITDA per brand) or about forty percent higher than where AOUT currently trades-even with a significantly more beneficial environment for hunting and camping.About seventy percent of AOUT’s revenue comes from gun-related accessories such as gun vaults, lasers, and gun range PPE. The other thirty percent comes from products such as camping gear, fishing, and gardening. Before COVID, AOUT’s main customers were land-based mom-and-pop shops and retail stores (Cabela’s and Sportsman’s). Sportsman estimates that about 65% of the gun and outdoor specialty market are comprised of mom-and-pop shops in their 2020 annual report. AOUT’s brands (shown below) are divided into four categories: Hunter, Harvester, Defender, Adventurer. AOUT’s strategy is to cover the entire gamut from hunting/outdoors to the dinner table.

Be The Fed? It's decision day on SQM Van- as I expected the pricing was flat-- but now could be the inflection point-- +record quarterly lithium sales -but price stagnates Mar. 04, 2021 8:28 AM ETSociedad Química y Minera de Chile S.A. (SQM) SQM-0.3%pre-market afterQ4 results included better than expected earningsand record sales volume, and the lithium producer saysit is on track to more than double its lithium capacity. SQM says Q4 lithium sales volumes jumped 50% from Q3, hitting a three-month record of more than 25K metric tons, butprices stagnated at $5,300/mt, leaving net income roughly flat vs. the same quarter in 2019. "We believe that this could be the bottom of the decreasing pricing trend and that we could see higher prices during the first half of 2021," the company says. Booming growth in electric vehicle sales is providing optimism for higher prices and volumes in the coming months, and SQM sees the momentum continuing into 2021 and that lithium demand growth will approach 25% this year.
