abuhusna1: We are grateful for the news too especially for those already in Gilead. I however would advise you exercise caution in order to make the best decision. Pause for a while and ask yourself this question: "Why did I buy Apple"? If your answer has not changed materially, then keep your Apple for the purpose you bought it. Then look for an alternative source of funds for your Gilead or at most don't sell all your Apple off. Truth is before you are able to buy Gilead, it would have gained a lot today, because it is always very difficult getting a stock low when it is the subject of attention. By the way, the mere news there is something close to a cure for covid-19 is likely to give the entire stock market a lift of which most good stocks will benefit. Las las final decision is yours as you remain the CEO of your portfolio. Keep winning bro. 7 Likes 1 Share |

STOCK FOCUS: The US government has agreed to provide airlines with $25 billion in bail out funds. 70% of the money will be grants that do not need to be paid back! The deal is that the airlines that agree to the deal will not lay off employees until at least September. We had discussed airlines on this forum where I stated how they shall be good to pick up just before covid-19 is over. The time for them to flourish is still far but this news will attract some quick gains. Amongst those on my watch list are: American Airlines - AAL ($11.07) Delta Airlines - DAL ( $22.78) United Airlines - UAL ( $28.21) South West Airlines - LUV ( $30.68) Watch how they gain today based on this news. N/B: This is not a buy or sell recommendation. Do your due diligence. 3 Likes |

Moderna (MRNA) is up 14% today after it was announced that the US Govt awarded the company up to $483M to accelerate the development of COVID-19 vaccine. I bought an April 17th $30 call contract 2 months ago; basically I was predicting that before today 04/17, the stock price will rise past $30, the higher it goes, the more profit I make. I bought the call option since february 26th and the stock traded below $30 throughout March but then on 04/15 it finally shot up to $38 and I was relieved to see the call option go from loss to a gain of 52% or $264 and I quickly sold. I woke up this morning to see the stock had risen 14% overnight after the good news. Needless to say that call option I sold two days ago is now worth $1,690 (see screenshot), so my gain would've been $955 or 230%. I don't regret selling earlier because for over 6 weeks the trade was in the red, plus I had two days remaining before the trade expires. Sometimes you just have to be comfortable with your decision to take profit even if the stock keeps climbing. I would've been angry though If I sold at a loss and it shoots up afterwards. 8 Likes

OakPearl: Nice gains bro. I wonder If this means the stock market has bottomed and should start moving higher. |

Hello Gurus, I don't seem to get whats going on with "Chesapeake Energy" though I made complains to Bamboo's customer agent already but I wanna know if anyone experiencing such presently, I had 256 shares with them but two days ago, it reduced to 2 shares without sale from my end.... Please how much does a "CHK share worth now? |
Re: Us Stocks Pick Alert by OakPearl(m): 6:43pm On Apr 17, 2020 |
kenneth6901: Currently trading at $4.23.

Re: Us Stocks Pick Alert by kenneth6901: 7:30pm On Apr 17, 2020 |
OakPearl: The figures is really misleading, I have read $15.23 on a couple of websites this evening and even on Trove and Bamboo itself. Just few mins to typing on here, I read its trading at $0.13" on another website. |

kenneth6901: There are 7 different tickers for Chesapeake Energy: CHK, CHK.PD, CHKDP, CHKDH, CHKDG, CHKVP, CHKDJ. That explains the different prices you're being quoted 1 Share

kenneth6901: Try to find out if the company consolidated their stocks recently. The current price vs initial price will show. I noticed that with one of my stocks - Scorpio Bulkers (SALT) - recently, as my 100 shares reduced to 10 overnight, but the price per share also increased about 10 folds. If you are on Trove, there is likely to be a news about this in their newsfeed section. Otherwise just Google the news about the company. If this is the case, it will be automatically changed on your portfolio. The platform has no influence on this. |

OakPearl:Nice pointer, although I bought few shares of AAL when it sold at $9, just as you've said due diligence. Despite the $25B released as bail out for the airlines which would be duly shared amongst them, it's worthy of note to mention the debt situation on ground. As most of the airplanes acquired by AAL were the Boeing 737 Max which got grounded due to their crash issues, this burnt their hands making them incur long term debts amounting to AAL: $21.5B, DAL: 8.9B, UAL: 13.1B, LUV: $1.8B. It's a high risk game here, however it comes with rewards. Caveat: Not a recommendation. Do your due diligence. 2 Likes |
Re: Us Stocks Pick Alert by thesilentone(m): 8:12pm On Apr 17, 2020 |
Etimnaic: Although LUV show less incurred debt here, I would be careful with them (for long termers) because of their debt levels even before Covid. They've also got a pending lawsuit pending that would cost a lot because of issues dating back a decade. My personal choice here would still be Delta regardless of the fact that WB sold off a percentage of his holdings. CC: Not a recommendation 1 Like |
Re: Us Stocks Pick Alert by OakPearl(m): 8:18pm On Apr 17, 2020 |
thesilentone: This could be the problem. The US market is awash with thousands of companies. One needs to be very careful to double-check the full names of companies we are investing in. Most recently, many investors in US mistook the ticker symbol ZOOM for ZM and were unknowingly investing in a moribund company until the authorities had to delist it. Reason I always indicate ticker symbols in every "STOCK FOCUS" in this forum. 2 Likes |

kunlef1: Thanks brother,you triggered me to do more research tonight just about now, I learnt they turned it into "A reverse stock split" currently but am not sure this tactics will prevent the danger ahead cos of their huge debt.

kenneth6901:Hello, please try and follow the news regarding your holdings. CHK underwent a 200-for-1 reverse share split whereby for every 200 shares owned on Tuesday it became 1 share on Wednesday. On Wednesday, the stock traded for $16.38 from its $0.13 price on Tuesday. It, however, closed at $14.45 after the close of trading today. https://www.marketwatch.com/story/chesapeake-energys-stock-suffers-record-plunge-as-reverse-split-confirms-financial-troubles-2020-04-15 |

Pls which app is the best, Trove, Chaka or Bamboo |

Hello Tomisin, Does Trove issue CSCS number for local stock investment portfolio? Many thanks. |
Re: Us Stocks Pick Alert by OakPearl(m): 5:15pm On Apr 18, 2020 |
This shows where the money went yesterday: Most active stocks on 17th April 2020. If your plan requires that you do nothing but wait, then do nothing but wait. 90% of trading is waiting.

Hello, what's the best app to use? Bamboo, Trove or Chaka? |
Re: Us Stocks Pick Alert by tommieen: 11:13pm On Apr 18, 2020 |
By default our users are onboarded under a custodial account at ARM. However, we are able to issue you a CSCS number upon request. Additionally, this can be tied to an existing CHN if you have one. seyisanya: 2 Likes |

thetelz: Personally, I prefer Bamboo. I have a Trove as well but they have fixed fees as against the % taken by Bamboo but then again, your trading sum would help determine best to go with. |
Re: Us Stocks Pick Alert by OakPearl(m): 12:24am On Apr 19, 2020 |
YerYer: Maybe, maybe not just yet. We all know these measures to bail out the economies are temporary and their immediate impact will also be artificial to help ferry the economies into full blown permanent stability. So while this temporary measures last, we ride the tide while still positioning for the future until normalcy returns. |
