Made a buttload on that afterhours pop, but it just offsets the downturn on my Amazon holdings with their earnings announcement. Used the dip on Amazon to buy a few more shares, though.
I just can't believe this Beyond Meat run-up. I am finding it very hard to resist getting suckered in.
Premiums on puts for BYND are laughably high right now. This has TLRY written all over and it's way too risky. It sucks because you know some investment firm is making a sh!tload of money off this pump and everyone in the building is going to enjoy 10,000% bonuses, even the 22 year old fresh out of college "financial analyst" who doesn't do anything. That's how you achieve yacht status
Until he jumps off the yacht and drowns.....

I wonder what it would cost to borrow BYND shares. Must be massive.
I'd say two or two and a half things:
1) Things like BYND and TLRY show how markets work. It's fear and greed, not government manipulation. Every stock is like this, just GE has a lower beta than BYND so we don't see it. There is no such thing as intrinsic value in the stock market. Prices are determined by what people will pay and what prices people will take. Not by the Fed deciding one tiny interest rate.
And this is the reason for the financial crisis. The high betas of BYND and TLRY were transferred to the entire market and houses and debt. Same greed and fear...they just took off into the general culture rather than corners of the stock market. This will happen again.
2) Stocks like BYND and TLRY are, in theory, ways small investors can beat the professionals. A guy who shorts BYND now and then just sits on it is virtually 100% guaranteed to make money. If he can wait and make any margin payments that arise. He just has to wait. Don't look at the stock for a year. Whereas a profesh trader doesn't have that kind of time as a luxury - she has to mark her sheet to the market every day and get screamed at or fired if she takes a loss.

Look at you. What kind of ass registers a handle as “Fact Checker” and then continually gets it wrong?
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know. And meanwhile it's up another 7% today.
Okay, i bought a little Advanced Micro Devices ahead of their earnings announcement next week instead. It's run up enough to be a little risky, but there you have it.

Really? Your posts speak for themselves. And your handle? What type of person chases someone on a message board with petty corrections that are usually wrong or twisted? Only an ass of the greatest size.

I am not playing your games dick head. So go back to corner and do what you do when your not harassing me. There has to be something else important in your sorry existence.
heh yeah
I just tried to short BYND and got this from Schwab. Not happening.

Just so you know, AMD is an overpriced penny stock. Look at the volume it trades at each day. It's insane given their market cap and various institutions have taken them for a ride in both directions over the past several years. It honors nothing even remotely close to fundamentals or technicals.

My posts do speak for themselves. Unlike many of yours, mine typically speak the truth. And when I am wrong, I admit it (again unlike you).
As for chasing someone, I will remind you again that I was here first. If anyone is chasing someone, it is you.
As for your last sentence, since you are a student of mistruths I will leave you with a quote that is often erroneously attributed to Socrates: “'When the debate is lost, slander becomes the tool of the losers.”
^You forgot another Socrates quote: “An I examined life is not worth living.”
Seems more appropriate for you.
