Trading was halted for a while on BGS this morning for a while as well. I think the the people in charge of the exchanges are getting a little worried. Over the long run this will very likely end badly.

Transocean Offshore looks interesting at less than $4/sh. The Biden Administration will be good for the oil co's. may buy 1000 shares and throw it into the account.

LOL. I do. I bought FCEL back in 2014 for about $2,500. Went all the way down under $20 at one point. Added 25 shares in early December @ $7.50. So ... total account value is now ~$800.
Still a long way to go to ever get back to even, but who knows? Maybe this rocket ship keeps accelerating.In hindsight, I should have bought 2,500 shares in early December. Or a year ago.
Perhaps Elon will start tweeting about FCEL? That seems to do the trick!LOL. I do. I bought FCEL back in 2014 for about $2,500. Went all the way down under $20 at one point. Added 25 shares in early December @ $7.50. So ... total account value is now ~$800.

Insiders can sell as long as the aren’t doing it with knowledge of material, non-public information and as long as they are not in a no sell window (can’t sell around earnings time and other blackoutsmay apply for IPOs but that doesn’t apply here). They must file Form 4 (Statement of Change in Beneficial Ownership) within two days of the transaction.
edit: I should add that 10b5-1 is also often used by insiders for replanned sales based on certain defined criteria. I don’t think that would apply here since I doubt the insiders envisioned this all happening. I linked a summary of 10b5-1 much earlier in this thread in reference to Moderna insider sales last year.

Im in on BB at $8sh before the run up the past week. Hasnt popped as much as I thought it would be watching GME but cant complain either.
Only bot 300 shares as I knew this would be gambling more than anything else though I do think BB has a good business model the more I have looked into them.
I have owned PLTR though since I bought 1350 shares @ $9.70 and that seems to be getting a nice run up itself and clearly a much larger gain

Nasdaq may take action against Reddit users:
Lets protect against the retail investor but not against the Hedge Funds that are doing this everyday with algo trading and alt data. If they think Hedge Funds are involved in this action they are kidding themselves. No way Mom & pop move the markets the way they are right now even with overleveraged options.
Sell Mortimer!!!! These guys are stupid for not selling.
Leave it to the government to try to "fix" a situation which does not need fixing. We all know who this is meant to protect and it is not the "little guy" who wants to make a few shekels.
Exactly...all about protecting their country club friends and keep the income inequality
gotta love it, a couple of big boys get absolutely torched and they need a tv time out to "recalibrate"
My BIG wall St. learning lesson happened during the market crash of 2007/2008 was this. During that time not one Wall St. executive went to jail nor were even prosecuted even though Billions of dollars were lost and millions of people were evicted from their homes. Also during this time several thousand Retail Wall St. Brokers, the people who help the little guys navigate the market were taken to arbitration and many fined and had restitution judgements against them. In one case, a broker advised his clients to sell and his firm went after him because it went against what their analyst was advising even though he ended up being correct. The government does its best to protect their friends and colleagues NOT the little guys like you and me. That is why I am for more open markets and freedom for people to make mistakes than the blatant manipulation by the government entities to protect their wealthy friends interests. Whenever the government says, "this is to protect the individual investor" or "this is to bring fairness", watch out, you know someone is getting screwed and it most likely are the little guys like you and me. This same principle applies to healthcare. With all the blatant mismanagement of many government programs I cannot figure out for the life of me why anyone would want the government involved in your healthcare. While the system has issues, a government controlled system will raise costs and lower the level of care by alot.
Fun day with the market!
Reddit, tweaks, climate change EOs.....market not happy.

Count agree more. Why we don't have a preventative healthcare system is beyond me and it only build today to fill the greed of these insurance companies
And thousands of retail brokers were taken to arbitration after 10/19/87 with respect to portfolio insurance. But the folks who should have gone to jail in 07/08 were actually these mortgage brokers who were openly encouraging liars loans.. Want to know who caused people to be evicted from their homes? It wasn't the retail brokers, it was the folks that put them into homes they couldn't afford. Could they go after the retail guys on Wall St for failure to exercise due diligence? Hell yes and they did. But that's not a crime.
And there are plenty of regular people that deserve the blame for buying houses that they coudn't come close to affording. Bills gotta be paid.
Well the folks that signed those application for liars loans can hardly be called innocent victims. But the mortgage brokers were the ones that said "no problem". It also is the prime case for some sort of financial study in schools. But that would get in the way of Victimhood Studies which seems to dominate currently.
I'm not familiar with the AH market. Can you see AH is the stock starts to drop? I assume so but don't know the process.
Just like the sports book will close your account if you clean them out on props, the Wall Street BSD's refuse to get humiliated by the little retail guy.
I don’t feel bad for the managers. They got too greedy and over confident. They knew it was a possibility but just didn’t think any rational groups will pull the trigger. A lot of retail investors will feel the pain later too. It’s a zero sum game.
ARK posted it's annual Big Idea report (need to download). Lots of great topics, including BTC/cryptos.
Nasdaq, NYSE, FINRA, SEC are all either quasi government regulatory agencies or direct government regulatory agencies. Either way, these agencies are not looking out for the little guy even though they will cloak every new rule as “for the protection of investors”.
Very interesting report. Plenty of cool topics - deep learning, future data centers, EVs, automation, cell & gene therapy, etc.
As for BTC. Due to the continuing acceptance, growing opportunities, and low correlation with traditional investment options, ARK recommends portfolios to hold 2.55% to 6.55% of BTC (depending on comfort with volatility). This could impact BTC price by $200k to $500k. Also big shut out to ETH and the growing ETH network (page 42).

Own every Ark ETF except the robotics fund. Cathie Wood and her team are doing a terrific job of identifying emerging technologies. Ark is getting ready to launch a commercial Space ETF which I will buy.
