NEW GAME: If you could only pick one stock for 2023

[pork]

Keep an eye on my hedge. Sqqq. When the market takes a shit this will cash in

at some point this prediction has to come true, right?

Did you buy any?

nope. i see no real point in hedging on stocks. it would make more sense to just get out of the market.

So DataDog kills it on earnings, but is dragged down 4% today based on everything else going down in the sector. It is still up a bit in the last couple weeks, but I think it has plenty of room to rise. Companies growing 80% YOY don't grow on trees.

[Deathproof]

Holy fuck. What happened to Sony?

you can't look at stocks under a microscope. You have to stand way back and look at them over large periods of time. Let's take SONY as an example. Since the game started on 2-1-2022 that stock is up 0.64% (I'm looking at right this minute prices). Now that seems like nothing or "holy fuck" as you put it.

But, let's put it into perspective. This game started 10 days ago. If you extrapolate that 0.64% in 10 days out over 1 year you get 23.36%. Now, who wouldn't take a 23% gain on an investment in one year right now?

I'm not sure I understand this. So, in your first paragraph, are you saying the stock is up 0.64% from where it was the day the game started? As in, on 2-1-2022 it was at X, and 10 days later it's at X+0.64%?

Now your second paragraph... What I think you're saying is that if it goes up 0.64% every ten days, then after a year -- which would be 36.4 ten-day intervals -- it would be up 23.36%? Am I understanding you correctly?
But, if that's an accurate representation of what you're saying, doesn't that assume that the stock a) never goes down, and b) always goes up at the same rate (0.64% every 10 days)?
Am I correct in assuming that neither of those scenarios is either certain or likely?

my only point was to say that most people can't wrap their heads around a small gain in a very small time frame. in order for the number to make sense its easier to put it into a twelve month perspective. Which, I know is nothing more than a reference point since it hasn't actually been a year.

I am certainly not suggesting any more or any less. A 0.64% gain in 10 days is the equivalent of a 23.36% gain in a year. Even though one really happened and the other did not.

Think of it like a guitar solo:

You cant take one single note out of the most beautiful and melodic guitar solo (Stairway to Heaven BTW) and expect it to be beautiful and melodic. You take and appreciate it as a whole. Dont judge your stock on one day, week or month. Judge it at the end and you may be surprised at its beauty.

[B-Tender]

Upstart reported earnings earlier today and is up 23% after hours. Still no where close to where it was, but encouraging to me.

This explanation was helpful. But the most beautiful and melodic guitar solo is in fact the solo from Gun n' Roses' "November Rain". If you disagree, you are wrong and/or homosexual.

WTF? I think I have the only pure energy stock here, oil just raced past $100 and you show I'm down 2.4%. What Ricky dinky reporting agency are you using?

If war breaks out in the Ukraine the big cap stocks will take a hit, so sqqq could be a good short term buy.

let's see how many things you got wrong in this statement.

1. oil has not raced past $100. It hasn't even reached $100/bbl. As of today's close West Texas Intermediate was at $92.24/bbl.
2. your stock was down 2.4% since Feb 1 at 11:29 am today CST. The rinky dink reporting agency is the New York Stock Exchange.
