4. The Dotcom Bubble
When it comes to sheer scale and size, few bubbles match the dotcom bubble of the 1990s. At that time, the increasing popularity of the Internet triggered a massive wave of speculation in "new economy" businesses. As a result, hundreds of dotcom companies achieved multi-billion dollar valuations as soon as they went public.

ReplyDeleteMore "professional" Wall Street players are becoming less fearful & more complacent. They are following the retails, which is the opposite of what normally happens LOL.
Long life Bull!
DeleteExample of smart money and dumb money!
ReplyDeleteIt was also Palihapitiya who took a leading role in the frenzy around so-called meme stocks, tweeting on Jan. 26 that he’d bought GameStop Corp. call options and helping fuel its short-lived surge. He exited the trade before GameStop crashed, making a $500,000 profit he donated to charity.
Hmmm, yeah it's funny coz from the number of call options (50 lots X 100) and the average price on the morning that he bought ($25 on 26 Jan AM) and when he sold ($200 on 27 Jan AM) ... that should be about $875K profits on $125K capital.
DeleteHe tweeted his buy on the night of 26 Jan, but never tweeted his sell. He only revealed his sell on CNBC phone interview during lunchtime on 27 Jan. How many millions of Wall Street Bettors followed his buy but missed his sell?? 😉
Basically, his blatant publicity didn't help the hundreds or thousands more newbies who got sucked in at the top. Donating the profits was the only thing he could do to not appear looking like the predatory Wall Streeter that the Wall Street Bets redditors are supposedly against.
Retail lost GBP2,500 playing meme stocks ... "for us that is rent for the month, it is bills. I don't know how we'll recover."
(just answer a simple questionnaire to see above article)

ReplyDeleteIt also happened in Singapore Forum before; the Founder of the Forum after accumulating enough of that stock; then he wrote his analysis on that stock why it was value buy. When he completely sold that stock; he put up another justification why he sold. Never ever he gave any hint that he would be buying or selling any stock. LOL! Nothing new in investing or trading forum or now it is forum and blogosphere!
How many folks out there are fully aware that we are always competitors against each other in Buy or Sell queue in the market. Your "Gurus" can openly share their stock view on buy or sell calls because they themselves are NOT buying or selling and NOT competing with you in the Buy or Sell queue! LOL!
