    Oh, I'm not blaming you. I was just wondering if you got in. It's not like I got into it. lol. I'm similar to you. I'm looking more into companies that will be around 5-10 years from now, but at least in about 3 or 4 cases, I made exceptions and went with companies that looked like they could appreciate big within a year or so (if not a week!). There are a lot of stocks I've passed up on simply it just looked like a FOMO trade, and I just abided by my "when in doubt, don't buy" philosophy.

    Congrat$. Regret not getting in on this. Been eying this for a long time because of tableau. I think the SNOW IPO may have helped as well, they are an early investor. Have you taken a look at HUBS? Seems like the alternative choice for smaller companies now; heard from friends that they found HUBS core product easier to use for non-IT people, but that's anecdotal.

    5nm at TSMC looks awesome, and Marvell are already using it. Future looks bright for these 2 + AMD. Is below considered a bull flag?

    I'm so glad I avoided NIO and BIGC.

    Wow. I guess CRM wasn’t done. Nice. Quite a few cloud/tech stocks are flying today.

    Somebody also woke up NFLX... for some reason.

    Sinovac is testing out a coronavirus vaccine in China on volunteers and healthcare workers. It trades under the symbol SVA on NASDAQ.

    But you can’t buy it. Haha.

    Trading has been halted for. ever. (over a year) Months ago I put it on my watch list when I thought it was among one or two Chinese companies that were "close" to a vaccine. But when I looked to see if it was traded, it was halted for trading and apparently still is. CNBC mentioned a boardroom battle. This article explains the internal battle (crazy story worth a read) :

    https://www.bloomberg.com/news/newsletters/2020-05-22/money-stuff-a-vaccine-with-a-poison-pill

    It's a $6 stock. Can you imagine what it would be right now if it wasn't halted? lol.

    @saitou

    Have you heard anything about TRNE (SPAC merging with the company Desktop Metal)? It just got a mention on CNBC. It's an industrial 3D-printing house that has big-name investors and customers (supposedly Toyota, Ford, GM, etc.). I haven't looked into how much they're selling and to whom, but the fact they're already producing is always a plus when it comes to these SPAC mergers. lol! I don't know how much of a gamble this is :

    Never heard of it, but looks very promising. If it stays at current price I may pick up some, if it jumps I'll stay out, too many to juggle. This is all gambling, just a matter of likelihood vs reward haha.

    Meyer left Disney to run a large / powerful co, which TikTok USA was, not a division head of a tech giant.

    from this can infer that a deal is coming soon. one ccan i could this "after-marke"t news from yesterday be the reason that MSFT is popping pre-market today ?

    Yup. pretty much what he said without explicitly saying it.

    “I understand that the role that I signed up for—including running TikTok globally—will look very different as a result of the US Administration’s action to push for a sell off of the US business,” he added.

    Man, on MSFT, whoever got the options this morning at ~0.48-0.70 killed it, looks like people exited at ~5.00-7.50.... For the $225 call shortly after open.

    I've been trying XOM for easy puts, it's worked so far ... W/ DJIA and other factors all hitting could go a bit more, not nearly as exciting with what MSFT and others did, and w/ Friday approaching movement might slow.
