OT: Lets talk about stocks (Part 3)

[HuGort]

it's over my head, I'm a numbers guy since my degree is in Finance, I can only speak to the investment banking side of things and it's red hot. Some think it could be bigger then the internet, and when I say some, I mean CEO's of tech companies. But they also hyped up 5G and that was been mostly a bust compared to the hype.

A lot think AI is a gamble. Creating artificial intelligence. It could someday be better than us. But I see it as a must. China and other countries will be using it, so many more advantages to it. The West has no choice

There is a lot of hype for sure and potential for disruption in many sectors is there. What are some arguments within the financial sector to stay more moderate/deflate the balloon? Regulation is coming with bill C27 for AI & Privacy, USA is baking something similar. EU probably too, guess we will see what it means in practice and evolution of AI.

before the internet? I bought Genco olive oil co. stock. Luca Brasi sold me the stock. The bad news is the stock never went up so I never sold it, the good news I have had a good long life.

Still can’t have same day settlement because it’s mostly fraudulent activity.

Still can’t have same day settlement because it’s mostly fraudulent activity.

Blockchain based stock exchange will hopefully help mitigate some of these risks and offer same day settlements

"Compared to a traditional exchange where it typically takes two days to settle a trade, BSTX will offer same-day and next-day settlements," the article adds further. "It will also use a private blockchain to offer a market feed that will allow members to see their own trades, as well as that of others, on an anonymous basis."

S&P broke 4,500. Highest it's been since the slide started about year and half ago. Tesla back $278. NVIDiA hitting $460. High interest account getting 5%. Making money all way around

I own a bunch of yield stocks. Do you think it's better to sell a day or two before Ex-dividend date or get the dividend and sell on the dip that day? Stocks usually highest just before Ex date

it really evens out if you look at it.

It can, but generally high yield stocks increase days before Ex date. Many people invest in dividend. It's only a small percentage but means couple thousand dollars to me.

Show me the stock. The price should drop by the dividend amount , in theory. I know what you are saying but its rare its a great investment strategy , people have tried this for ages. T+2 settlement date so it trades ex div the day before the record date.

It 'can' work in theory but I'd like to see what stock you are talking about.

I have bunch of yield stocks. Banks, railroads, utility. RIO I got 11% yield 3 years ago. Got in for $50. Was August 11th last year in paid dividends

Theoretically the dividend and dividend date shouldn't factor into your evaluation to buy/sell because that dividend (barring any kind of massive announcement) is already factored into the stock price. If there are any market inefficiencies to take advantage of then investment firms and hedge funds have the tools to do so a hell of a lot quicker and more efficiently than us retail joe blows. I think you're better off just holding through personally, but to each their own.

this is the case, its all factored in. Plus you add in trading costs etc, seems to be a wash. I like to just hold.

I know but I am nearing selling off. I should have enough to retire without worry rest of my days. Where market has recently rebounded. I thinking on taking the deal while on table. Trying to get little extra.

Tesla is nearing $300. Reports tomorrow. If it has good day I may sell bunch of TSLA tomorrow

 

[HuGort]

Tesla taking a beating in pre-market. Investors couldn't like their earnings. Looks like my decision to sell going to be put in hold.
