I started investing during the height of the 2021 bubble. I didn't know a lot so, thank God I was smart enough to slowly ease into the market. I quickly found this sub and came to know the tickers that people were excited about - a lot of ASML, NVDA, AMD, SOFI, ZOOM, PYPL, TSLA, SNOW, SHOP - and a host of ARKK stocks at the very top.
Well, since the bubble burst and these stocks either came back to Earth - or worse - crashed fantastically, I've no
The National Bank of Canada FI has made a substantial investment in Global Payments Inc., acquiring 136,439 shares of the business services provider’s stock during the fourth quarter of 2016. This represents an increase in holdings by an impressive 3,458.7%, and the total value of their holdings was estimated to be $13,551,000 at the time of filing with the Securities & Exchange Commission.
Aside from making this notable acquisition, Global Payments a
Sold a covered call for ACTI 95 call for a premium of some 200 USD with expiry in Jan 24. What happens when the Microsoft deal goes though? Microsoft is valuing each stock at $95 and it is supposed to be done by the expiry.
Does that mean the moment deal is approved by regulators the price of the call will plummet allowing me to buy it back? Or will it increase and then somehow in January 24 I’m going to have to sell someone a non existent stock at $95 p
If I buy stock in a company and that company merges with another company in an all-stock reorganization (Shares of Company A are exchanged for shares of the new company), what is my holding period?

This is the daily discussion, so anything stocks related is fine, but the theme for today is on stock options, but if options aren't your thing then just ignore the theme and/or post your arguments against options here and not in the current post.

Seems like most tech stocks, fintechs, new IPOs are being obliterated left and right. Crypto or anything to do with crypto are purposely targeted.

They're not like dotcom companies that does nothing. They provide services, make stuff and some of them are high tech products not easily made elsewhere. Are big financial institution ju
Seems to me like tech has most potential for growth: AI, robotics, nanotech, biotech, etc, will surely influence society by A LOT. Based on the NASDAQ growth (or similar metrics) in the last 15 years this only confirms my hypothesis. It doesn't prove anything, but I don't see why that huge growth would halt. Are there any counterarguments for not investing into tech?
Actual EPS: Has positive EPS on a GAAP basis. So this would not include companies that are not profitable on a GAAP basis, like Cloudflare, SentinelOne, Okta, etc. And yes, I understand that non-GAAP is related to share-based compensation, but I just want to stay on the safe side.
Not a big tech. I consider the following big tech: MSFT, AAPL, AMZN, GOOGL, GOOG, NVDA, META, TSLA, NFLX.
Also, why do you consider the stocks you name to be interesting?
Shares of Costco Wholesale Corp. COST fell in after-hours trading Wednesday after the membership warehouse retailer reported its first monthly same-store sales drop in nearly three years.
March total comp sales -1.1%
E-commerce sales -12.7%
I hold both of these ETFs through RRSP and TFSA along with some XEQT.
If the dollar was to fail, what the the S&P 500 and US Total Stock Market look like 5-10 years afterwards? Would they fail completely? Would the gains be about half of what they are now?

Thanks!
