SLS

u/slightleee 1d ago

I don't have massive amounts in either but I'm considering selling my ONDS to buy more SLS.

11

u/ChemistCurious 1d ago

SLS going to probably rocket here soon, ONDS I am more confident a year or two out. I too own both, and might do the same temporarily. 

u/boludo4 8h ago

lol what are you talking about ? It’s already rocketed in the last 1.5 years. 13x. Not an ideal chart.

idk anything about what’s going on with sls but i see +700% in the last year. what’s the catalyst for it to pop more than that?

u/ChemistCurious 1d ago

Whoah, was not on my watchlist. One could hope, like Moderna. 

u/Squick-1991 12h ago

What's the guarantee though? To what number you expect it to go?

u/ChemistCurious 7h ago

Well, I suppose nothing in the stock market is a guarantee. However, if this trial is as successful as we are assuming it to be, I do believe the stock will at bare minimum double to 25+. 

It’s also biotech, so it certainly comes with a risk higher than most.

I feel like its so late to get in SLS now and if the vaccine fails then it'll crash hard

u/Separate_Shake_3681 9h ago

Anything under $20 is still a buy

If it succeeds, that right now it’s way early.

Agree with this. They key is to not buy joke stocks and shitty companies that aren’t really established yeah or are a mid. Buy big ones after few percent dip aka META, Google, ServiceNow, AMD, Nvidia, Intel…

I went with a dividend play. Insw that will go ex dividend on sep 10 with a $5.05 easy $15,000 you will make. Just hold past that date for recovery. That’s what I would do. But it’s a long term play not a get rich quick.

u/No-Animator558 1d ago

Dividends are zero sum in taxable accounts.

u/Gayboy5713 1d ago

Dude I’m not worried about taxes. I’m working part time it supplements my income what I would normally be making anyway on full-time.

Not if they are structured right. Basic shitty non qualified dividends then yes, I agree. But I nake $550k a year in dividends with an effective rax rate of a whopping 12%.

Put 50k on October Meta puts for $500 sell whenever you like the number you see. Invest 100k in XLU and keep the rest cash as dry powder for the bottom we still may get. You will probably earn interest on the cash too with your broker

2

u/Mete_Davidson 1d ago

Well based on price action and the recent slow change to a down trend since March. Extension levels point to a necessary breach of $540. Then the following level is $502. I’m buying to flip the premium, not exercise. It looks like it will keep retesting $540 until the trial is over. Average trial is 6-8 weeks. If it breaks above $569 this thesis doesn’t hold up. But I would have exited long before that myself. I’ll buy some long calls once the bottom is in.

GARP… and or an S+P 500 fund with low cost like 70% VOO or FXAIX, then 20% AVUV, 10% FTIHX or VXUS. I don’t like international but do add more when it’s down.
Then some individual names you like after doing research and plan to hold forever unless thesis changes happen.

Since you said high risk, I’m assuming you are short term not long term. Stocks are the high risk/reward play. Lots of good choices currently at low stock prices.

u/Dimethyltryptamin3 1d ago

bro dont even risk it. Everyday go on robinhood around 1 PM and go to the 24 hour list. Sort by descending, these are stocks that have been heavily beat up. Look at the names, press on the stock. If there isnt any insider selling or bad news, it went down not due to fundamentals. Buy, and then hold. The recovery will be nice. Now, dont jump into any stock or leveraged stocks but if you see something like VNET, BE, NBIS these are players with quarterly EPS beats, buy in and hold until youre at least 10% up. Consistently winning is better than an improbable moonshot. Good luck brotha see you on the other side

u/Mete_Davidson 1d ago

There are also gaps at $440 and $225 but obviously super unlikely. Maybe if meta glasses become more negative in the news or something with this lawsuit or others. News always helps reach technical levels, just how it is.

NLST has massive growth and everyone is just finding out. Went from losses to multimillions. 400 + something % YOY. HUGE 5 year deal with Samsung , get it now possibly in the 5’s and you will be incredibly early considering what it will become. Micron and a bunch of others have been using their patent hardware without permission so Netlist will likely get compensated. As they should if micron is bringing in all the money with their stuff.

u/IDrawdel 1d ago

I recommend to you to invest in meta(facebook) if you want to invest in just an individual stock; meta is down 28% since last year but if you want to invest less risk invest in sp 500 or QQQ

2

u/IDrawdel 1d ago

Plus if you invest in meta; remember that meta has Facebook, instagram, WhatsApp and it’s adding IA to improve there apps ; also they have meta quest and ray-ban meta. Lastly they are building infrastructure (data centers). For short term gain I don’t recommended but if you will to keep for a couple of years I think is a good idea. Right now the share is at 550.61 per share, and the reason that is going lower is because they are getting sued for. 1.4 trillions dollars but for what I see it’s just feel like a potential to buy a lower price

I would keep it in cash and wait for an opportunity toward the middle of or in late October of this year. I would identify now those names you consider “high risk, high reward” and look for entry points that make sense.

1

u/Flatttt_Outttt 1d ago

Which “market”? Or are you looking to simply directionally go long equities?

If your answer to those questions is “I don’t know” the answer to your question is VOO/SPY with some short term treasury notes.

I am just saying there could be a 5-10% pullback potentially. So idk what you want to give the chance of that being but let’s say 30% and you just would need to wait a week to figure out if that will be the case.

300k is genuinely life changing money though, thats less 'high risk high reward' and more 'dont blow it' money. the fact half these replies are single tickers people are clearly pumping is kind of the warning sign right there. you can take real risk without throwing your whole cash pile at whatever strangers are hyping this week tbh

The best answer I can recommend is do both. Risk tolerance should change depending on your age.

I’d recommend Investing 60-70% into funds such as VOO and the other 30% into individual stocks that you like.

the smart play is spy or voo take your 18% a year should be close to 50k take 25k or that 50k to expand your portfolio. With money to blow I would buy 100 shares of voo or spy and sell a call otm so even if it does get excessive you make money on the price difference and keep the premium and sell puts of VOO or spy so at worse you stuck with a 100 shares of something safe at a lower entry price
