I’m new to this, but you seem to know your shyt, so you think PLAY should be held?

Wish I had invested more when it was cheaper :francis:

He's saying hold but have a stop loss in place to where price per share goes under a certain threshold, you automatically sell.

I agree with that, for what its worth

i think so :yeshrug:

how many of these single day pumps have we seen on the way down?

Today was very predictable. I told people when Trump was talking, it will jump huge if you're interested in quick flips. If it goes back down and even below 18K I'm good with that because I got more money to invest

The yield shifts depending on the market price (and whether the dividend is increased or decreased)

Example:
A company will pay a quarterly dividend so lets say Company A pays $1 in dividends annualized with a stock price of $10. The yield is 10% ($1/$10).

Now lets say the price goes to $20. The yield is now 5% ($1/$20)

So fo you, your yield is dependent on your cost basis in the stock. If you own Company A at an average price of $8, then the yield to you is 12.5% ($1/$8)
I see, so if you have 100 shares within a company that pays dividends, do you get paid a fixed percentage for example %3.5 for each of those 100 shares?

You get paid a fixed dividend number quarterly.

The current yield of a company is just a translation of the annualized dividend / current market price

Your yield of that company is just the translation of the annualized dividend / your purchase price
