my beautiful SPLK is back :wow:

not sure if i should swap my investment in NIU for a position in NIO...NIU is a spec play for me, so i'm not in too deep, NIO would be a spec play also, but i'm not sure which has more upside 1-2 years from now

Random question:

I still own a stock that has gone bankrupt. The app even says I can sell my position, but I am no longer allowed to buy any shares. My current value there is $38. I lost $1,071 on the stock.

The stock was ASNA, but now the ticker shows up as ASNAQ. If I leave that in there for another 1 year? 2 years? 5 years? is there any chance that I'll ever be able to break even, or is it the kind of thing where the longer I leave it in there I'll just watch it eventually wither down to $0.00. What experience do you guys have with these situations?

P.S.-I now set "stop-losses" so I'm not going to suffer any huge losses like that on companies that I don't actually believe in.
if you lost 1000 and it's now only $38, might as well ride it out to see if it recovers some in a few years. i'm in on LK, shyt went down to under a dollar at one point with the scandal, delisted, and i still bought in further and am now in the positive, some of these stocks are gambles, don't invest what you can't lose. hopefully you're doing well elsewhere and can use the loss to offset taxes on the gains

In a rare event never seen before in the investing world, I have an account that is negative. My TDA account says I'm at like -$22. Don't have much of value in there anyways. My account looks like this: ADPAS-2000, BBRW-1200, SWHID-2. So its not really an account I care much about or even check but I'm wondering the hell they did to get me negative. A stock can only go down to 0. These motherfukkers must've been like, we gonna charge you more for having to keep your account open. Looks like its some damn reorganization fee for $38 :mindblown:. Who the hell authorized this? Thats how little value my account has. Ima just put in a sell on my 3 positions and deposit the difference so they can get off my case and just never bother with them again if they gonna be on that bs. :francis:
