Shares +12% AH👍🙏 Almost perfect except missing EPS.

1H away from ERs AH. You must be nervous & extremely uncertain in this mkt env.

I’m w/ you.

But this is also the best time to separate great stocks from the rest of the pack, so take it as a learning opportunity.

Which stocks are you watching?

$GLBE
$NVDA
$APP
$AMPL
Others Which do you believe will have the highest chance to beat all estimates?

2H away from FOMC minutes release. The mkt moves from here to that point to close might be more volatile & interesting.

I’d bet we close green or recover some loss. The inflation trend isn’t just a US phenomenon.

- China Jan PPI is also 9%+
- UK CPI is also 5%+

If it is largely a global phenomenon, it can be more characterized as pandemic induced, supply shortage driven.

Metaverse is getting a bit more momentum w/ the largest US bank jumping into it.

$JPM opened up an "Onyx lounge" in the metaverse on Tuesday, a virtual lounge in the blockchain-based world of Decentraland $MARA.

usatoday.com/story/money/20… Would you like to take a visit to the lounge & have a moment of relax amidst the mkt volatility? 😂

I think the mkt opened much low in fear of FOMC minutes, & it could turn better if no surprise seen in the release.

$UPST strong, & $SOFI $LC up in sympathy 👏🙏 *much lower

The easiest way I can do to explain cryptos:

👉 It all starts w/ blockchain
👉 Blockchain is a distributed DB (database)
👉 While any traditional DB is on central servers managed by a 3rd-party, blockchain is on a large # of globally distributed computer network

👇more 👉 The first app of blockchain is cryptocurrency, started w/ $BTC & then many other altcoins
👉 Most recently, blockchain is enhanced with smart contracts
👉 Smart contracts are code snippets that can be run in real-time

$SAVA CEO: I truly believe Cassava Sciences is one clinical program away from greatness.

Cont’d He provided add’l details:

- This week, we received notification from IRB, that our 2 P3 study protocols are now fully approved

- We’re on-track to initiate our P3 program shortly

Hav been watching $AFRM $MQ $RSKD $MNDY as hypergwth stocks closely since their IPO:

- $AFRM has momentum, but I need to wait until a pull back
- $MQ had a bad forecast of Q3 vs Q2, but it has more upside potential now & I'll wait aft Q3 & lockup expiry

1/2 - $RSKD has been accelerating gwth but not sure if it can keep up at 50%+ & will wait aft Q2 ER
- $MNDY has all cylinders ignited for hypergwth & I like it most among the 4; I'm ready & just need a pullback to get in

What's your new hypergwth (growing at 50%+ YoY) picks?

$GSIT, a speciality memory maker, has designed Gemini, an associative processing unit (APU), for big data similarity search.

Gemini can conduct similarity searches on certain big data workloads 100X faster than standard Xeon processors, while reducing power by 70%.

Cont'd This is an unbelievable breakthrough!

$GIST has achieved it by eliminating the memory-to-CPU-core bottleneck, which is known to have baffled scientists for some years.

Seems some don't get why market makers want to sell a highflying stocks to earn more $$$:

Assuming a stock now is at $10 & one underwrites a call option for $30/share expired in 3 months.

1/3 If on the day of expiration, the stock goes $31:

- for a naked option, the underwriter earns the option selling amount but loses $21/share (each option unit is 100 shares)

- for a hedged one, the underwriter only earns the option selling amount

I found this Cathie Wood video is amazingly informative & concise. Also I’m in full sync w/ it!

https://twitter.com/petemc818/status/1358121204234637312

She talked about the macro economy, mostly fiscal & economic policies & then spent about half time to recap the ARK 2021 BIG IDEAS around:

- virtual world
- AI
- EV/autonomous driving
- automation (robotics, ride hailing, drone delivery, space travel)
- 3D printing
- genomics

Here are my quick notes for $TWST $SAVA $VXRT $CLOV

Why their share prices crashed today or in the past 2-3 days?

$TWST: JPM called it over-priced & give a TP of $100 while Baird raised the TP to $200. It'll likely go back next wk IMO. The stock has been very resilient.

[1/4] $SAVA: Over-run w/ short squeezes followed by short attacks. Still a double for the wk & it'll likely consolidate in $40s. Any interim P3 news will serve as the next catalysts to bring it back & run again. It remains in my 2021 10X candidate.

[2/4]

A: ATOM RESN MARA BNGO NNOX VXRT CCIV TWST SDGR LGVW BFT OPEN SRAC IPV UPST CLOV

B: ATOM RESN MARA BNGO NNOX VXRT TIGR NNDM XONE EH KOPN SAVA OEG FUBO

Buying & selling stocks are easy but getting good returns isn't.

Problems:
- DD
- Patience
- Psychology

1/4 DD:
- Don't spend time to learn about companies
- Don't differentiate facts & opinions
- Bias on good news or bad news & hard to be on both sides

Many asked how to pick up stocks. It isn't a total science.

You have to first establish your belief: do you believe the mrkt will be up or down? Do you believe a trend working in the mrkt? & do you believe the tech, prod, & mgmt team of an individual company?

1/5 To establish your belief, you need to gather trustworthy data & use it to build the foundation of your belief; & then fine tune it based on your personal experience.

Once you've built up your belief, it becomes your assets. Use it to maximize your return!

Hi! How have you been on the 1st day of 2021? Hope it has been meaningful & joyful, or relaxing.

The 1st sharing for the new year is a biotech investor's predictions for 2021.

The most interesting ones are:

1/

businessinsider.com/brad-loncar-bi… - March-in rights, which allow the US gov to effectively cancel patents on a drug that federal research helped develop & it is the biggest thing that can sink biotech or give it some major heartburn

2020 - Closing of the Yr!
