Ha after this lockdown I think it's more a case of after all the PIES I have EATEN more like though !
Still at least the one thing is if and when we ever get back in to Thailand the boys there dont care WHAT size we are or what we look like - mind you THAT is if there are any boys or even a Pattaya left to go back to by the time this is all finished !
Now THERES a bet I'm not so sure I'd be willing to put that much money on as a futures contract perhaps ! :-(
Re: GameStop (GME) stock price
BTW, I hope you have access to "Real Time" stock price,as it would be crucial if the squeeze starts. You would...I'd imagine need to respond as quickly as possible in the event you want to sell at a high price.
I read the usual stock price the general public sees is 15 or so minutes delayed....thats a lifetime in your situation.
Just mentioning it in case.
You probably already have it covered.
Re: GameStop (GME) stock price
Yep, just a quick google search on any stock will show their real time live figures usually, with the share platforms for the other more detailed stuff if you want it then.
Been a quiet day as you can see I'm sure, will be interesting to see if there's a large dip just before close or not .

Whilst Google has live pricing for some markets, I thought it was necessary to pay brokers more to get live data, rather than the 15 minute delayed figures.
Having noted all this interest in the more short term speculative end of the stock markets, does anyone else here do more long term stock picking ? Like several years. I'm typically buying with the intention of holding for a decade.
It sounds like N Irish turns over stocks as quickly as turning over boys on a fortnight in Pattaya.

Nope, Google and many other sites provide live pricing free of charge and I find them both up to date and fine to use - even when on my brokers site on my phone ( if I'm thinking of buying) when it's using the 15 minute delay pricing, I simply open a second window, check the live price and then when you give you buy / sell request it will always go and get and show you the live price first to enable you to proceed or not as you prefer, so it's not like you're actually dealing on a 15 minute old info at that point.

I'm a bit biased here I guess but Telsa is hard to look past - I KNOW some people will give you a hundred reasons "why not" and that's fine and up to them, Tesla ( IMHO) aren't "just" a car company and are aligning themselves more as a power / battery company too and THAT is where things start to look interesting in the future too of course, not to mention the whole EV car thing seems to be going quite well for them just now and should keep going that way for certainly a few years to come until others catch up ( or buy) their battery technology. But that's all I'll say about that as I cant be arsed getting into the whole "oh but Tesla" conversations with those who seem to like to ( on many boards).
Its very much a case of you like them or you dont I guess. I just know their stick has done very well for me of late and I'm hoping will continue to do so for several years yet. Thats just my take on that though so 'buyer beware and at your risk etc etc" - and as a board we should always be careful not to be seen to be giving out "advice" re stocks etc as that starts swaying into all sorts of regulatory awares I'm sure Moses wouldn't want us to go.
Oh and re "It sounds like N Irish turns over stocks as quickly as turning over boys on a fortnight in Pattaya"
Ha, No as I've said previously I'm actually more of a holder rather that a quick flipper, which is of course the exact OPPOSITE of me when on a trip to Pattaya perhaps ! ;)

Yet - seems to be the general thinking there so far, watch this space perhaps over the next week or so maybe. There was actually LOTS happened on Friday with Wall Street at their lark across several stocks and there are plenty of graphs which show "someone" ( them) attempting to manipulate prices at various times throughout the day in an organised way, but with the number of ordinary stock holders buying in they didn't manage it as they'd wished.
Or they perhaps didn't have the necessary 6 BILLION in liquidated funds sitting there to hand overnight ( that they'd lost the day before) to enable them to move things just as much as they would have liked. That plus them also getting their shareholder mate trading platform Robinhood ( who they've just given a billion pounds "investment" loan to this week funnily enough) to restrict the purchase of all GME stock from new customers ( i.e ordinary people who use their App.
Instead they firstly totally blocked and then after Government comment re that then restricted their clients ability to buy GME stock at all and left them only being able to buy UP TO FIVE shares in TOTAL each - and if they already had one or two shares ( from days before) they could only them make that up to five shares again in TOTAL.
So all totally unheard of that you / we cant buy shares in a publicly trading company on an open market all because your platform ( basically owned by the traders) simply says so and just says "no, I'm not letting you" - as of course every share bought by ordinary people costs the traders dearly.
Also interesting to see that just now here in the UK that IG ( the UK's biggest broker) has also blocked "ordinary people" from buying GME stock with a statement explaining their actions as being "Due to the recent extreme volatility, and in order to prioritise the service we give our existing clients". So again a pubically traded stock being refused to be be sold by two (and more) brokers to the public on the flimsy excuse that "the stock is volatile" ( since when does your broker care if you buy a risky stock or not as it's not his job to worry or care about that) and "so they can give their other clients service' - when it's the public of course who are meant to BE their clients - but in effect it IS of course the brokers who are and THAT is who they are stepping in to protect when the chips are down for them.
* Correction IG have confirmed that the public can still trade that GME stock with them - BUT they wont let you BUY stock, only SELL - funny that eh as that's what Wall Street has been trying to achieve all week - and that's exactly what Robinhood tried to pull off last week too ! :)
So yes the stock price dipped and came back yesterday several times but that didn't mean there was still nothing going on behind the scenes there thats for sure.
No doubt they'll have another go next week and things will go one way or the other for many people - either them or the ordinary people - who knows !
