Hopefully ABNB isn't as ridiculously priced as DASH. Don't know how it's priced that high but hopefully they are not increasing the fees on their customers to cause that.
ABNB has way more reason to be priced 20-50% above it's IPO PT than DD. Even with its regulation risks, it's a much better business model, basically costs nothing to scale, they're not taking revenue from the suppliers - they're actually providing revenue. I'd feel more comfortable paying 100/share for them than fukking DD :dead:

Thinking of taking my gains from qs n running. How do you guys get comfortable with not getting too greedy? Lol if I made tons of money from tesla I would have been cashed out.
Pros and cons to that like anything. You never know what the market can do and if you taking profit at the right or wrong time. Especially if you don't need the money. Focus on risk management. Gotta have a certain percentage you willing to lose at the beginning and thru out the process. Like if you put in 1000 and you using 10% then if it goes down to 900 you'll know to get out. Same if it increases to 2000 and you use 10% or whatever amount you comfortable with. Everyone risk tolerance is different. You gonna cash out from tesla after major gains and for what? Short of an extreme emergency like medical, housing, etc. There's nothing else worth selling for. You gonna risk it just as much on another stock or investment. It's gonna lose value over time in your bank account. You likely also will have to pay taxes on it, short or long term. Know how much you willing to risk and try not to sell for a loss.

things like that seem like the most extra ass grab. lol @ borrowing hardware to hang lights. between things like nextdoor - which connects local communities for this stuff in general, craigslist, shipt, instacart, taskrabbit, etc. what the hell is this service? i mean, yall divest in autonomous driving and your follow up genius is dropping off candygrams? :dahell:

i actually think it's a lot more promising than delivering food post-pandemic. This is basically same day delivery which is usually costly and time consuming outside of using bike messengers.

i'm more surprised he got it so cheap

He believe he bought very OTM. The odds of this are like hitting the lotto.

i have about 15kish which is a mix of euro and pounds and was thinking of parking the money in amazon :ld: not for necessarily investment but just to park it there as after this whole corona situation money is almost worthless and the pound is just straight :trash: any thoughts? i already got money invested in apple and tesla

I just bought 5 shares of Amazon myself. Every company has risks (it's doubled this year), but pretty confident in them to continue to rise.

Same. Just hoping it's low so my broke ass can add more. :mjgrin:

Pound crushing the USD since the crash. Think all major currencies are. Nearly .20 difference since March drop. Do have the brexit risk I think eoy but not sure if that'll affect it against usd or against euro more.

Amazon is a good investment and place to hold tho.

The "safest bet" is to park your money in SPY.

That's the "top" 500 companies in the US.

Someone brought my GS calls for 2.80 when the highest bid was 2.35 and now it's back to 2.40. This person basically did not know what they were doing, the spread was too much and they still bid up for my calls. So if you plan on buying options, make sure the one you buy does not have a crazy spread between bid and ask.
:laugh:
