Keinding: Oh gosh! Am biting my fingers now for skipping no. 4 in error. Though we on the Fintechs side of the divide (Trove, Chaka, Bamboo) can't access it for now, our brothers abroad can make a kill. No. 4 is AYRO. AS at the time of posting this morning, its last closing price was $3.27. As I type this, it's $5.33, a whopping 63% gain today!!! At least I would have tipped it for YerYer when he asked but it skipped my memory while making that post. Now you see why I was biting my fingers? Painful. |

OakPearl: The problem is very few people, not even professional investors, have a chance of knowing beforehand what stocks will prove to be a success. There is a lot of hindsight bias1 amongst investors - we look at a stock that exploded and conclude that we ''shoulda woulda coulda'' bought the stock and held on till we reaped loadsa money and that we will find the next bonanza stock(s). The reality is most stocks are duds over the long run so your chances of finding that great stock and holding on to it, as it rises and falls, are fairly slim. And it's not even about buying a growth industry stock like Tesla and NKLA with electric vehicles or Beyond Meat with artificial meat. An industry can be a success but most of the individual stocks within that industry can be widow makers. Think of the tech bubble that started in the 1990s and remember names like Blackberry, Motorola, Nokia, Yahoo.com, Palm (of Palm Pilot fame) etc. These companies operated in industries that were eventual successes but the stocks, like most stocks, proved disappointing. So, once again, my message is investors shouldn't overestimate their stock picking skills or fall foul of overconfidence bias.2 Obviously, in this environment where stocks are generally on the rise, most people might start letting their guards down. My stance remains that most people are safer just choosing indices. If you feel you are skilled enough to pick the right stocks, be prepared to lose or to experience average/mediocre returns over the long-run (over the course of years). Yes, there are anecdotes about investors/traders experiencing stunning successes but, like a lot of things in life, those are the exceptional cases and not the norm. Preaching moderation/caution to people on this thread might feel like preaching chastity to punters in a brothel but someone has to do it! 1. Hindsight bias is a psychological phenomenon that allows people to convince themselves after an event that they had accurately predicted it before it happened. This can lead people to conclude that they can accurately predict other events. Hindsight bias is studied in behavioral economics because it is a common failing of individual investors. https://www.investopedia.com/terms/h/hindsight-bias.asp 2.

OakPearl: Na fear catch them. Too many people to compete with, door dash, Uber eats, delivery.com, grubhub etc. Maybe they figured it will be harder to compete with the big boys in the long run. Can't blame them. |

gamaliel9:Hi, am a beginner on US stock markets. The minimum amount to use in buying US stock is how much pls? And again if shares bought didn't go your prediction, can someone wait till the price goes up before selling? Thanks in advance |
Re: Us Stocks Pick Alert by Penboy: 10:51pm On Jul 06, 2020 |
Multiplier7: Depending on the broker. Some require minimum of 10 dollars to invest. And yes, you can hold your shares to whenever you feel like selling. |
Re: Us Stocks Pick Alert by ebuka1997: 12:16am On Jul 07, 2020 |
YerYer: Its probably as a result of competition in that space from the likes of grubhub and door dash. Uber, door dash and grubhub are the 3 biggest food delivery companies, uber initially wanted to buy grubhub to consolidate but it wasn’t successful. 1 Like |

Re: Us Stocks Pick Alert by OakPearl(m): 11:47am On Jul 07, 2020 |
4Play: Its good to have a voice preaching caution and it is very welcome on this forum. I also agree with you that "...most people are safer just choosing indices." That means the few left wouldn't invest their entire war chest in indices alone. They are the ones investing in stocks. We will serve them. 1 Like 2 Shares |

Please advise on which stock to buy. I’m already buying Tesla, and Apple today. Any other I can add? Boeing? Nio? OakPearl: |
Re: Us Stocks Pick Alert by OakPearl(m): 11:56am On Jul 07, 2020 |
Skymoore1004: Buy NIO and add patience. If you can time your entry below $10, better. But if your investment horizon is long term like me, buy now in tranches so you can average down your cost of purchase if it reduces after your first tranch. Na so I delay to add to my position when it got to $6 from the $3.02 I bought it...now na $11. ![]() |
Re: Us Stocks Pick Alert by Skymoore1004: 11:59am On Jul 07, 2020 |
What do you think of Boeing & fedex? OakPearl: |
Re: Us Stocks Pick Alert by OakPearl(m): 12:02pm On Jul 07, 2020 |
Skymoore1004: Your picks are solid. You see that Apple? It is another "time bomb" waiting to explode into the $1,000 region. People no go see am now, or them fit think say e too cost. I have responded to your NIO enquiry earlier. They are utilizing their $1bn facility very well and sales are doing great. Q3 report will make it fly. BUY sir. 1 Like |
