Score Media and why its a massive candidate for a multi bagger
Hello fellow autists, Just a pre-cursor, this is my first post of any kind on WSB. I would occasionally peruse the forum but was obviously drawn here from the GME craze and love every part of it. Score Media and Gaming, listed on the TSX as SCR and in the US as TSCRF. These guys have nothing but positive news coming in the next 12 months and has the ability to at least double in the next half year, if not sooner. These guys are foraying into the sports betting market and are the only players that have a fully intuitive and integrated sports scores/stats application on the market. So what are the positives/catalysts for Score Media: - Expansion with the help/investment of Penn Gaming to expand sportsbook in the US. Keep in mind, Penn is the same company that invested in Barstool. The Score is already approved in New Jersey, Indiana and Colorado, with Iowa right around the corner, and Michigan up next. - Sports betting in Canada is a 14 Billion dollar market. Single wagering is currently illegal, however, there is unity across the aisle between all political parties to amend the criminal code and make single wagering legal. There are currently two bills in play. C-13 and C-218. C-13 second reading is currently delayed, while C-218 is scheduled for the House of Commons on February 24th. Like most countries, they have currently spent a ton of money propping up their respective economies due to COVID-19. It is highly unlikely the Canadian government rejects this massive taxable revenue stream when it needs it the most - Leader in sports applications for time spent on the app on a monthly basis, beating out heavy hitters like TSN, ESPN, Bleacher Report....literally every other sports media application - Only major player with an already existing sports news/fantasy application with seamless sportsbook integration. No hopping back and forth, you can wager through the sports app as if you were on the sportsbook - They are the biggest E-sports media player with over 1 million subscribers on YouTube and that lead is growing - They are pushing to get listed on the NYSE in the very near future to further growth and investment opportunities. The only real hinderance that could potentially stop the run of this company is if the Canadian government fails to amend the current laws for single game wagering, which in the current economical climate, I find extremely unlikely. ESPECIALLY with support from all political parties including the Conservatives, New Democratic Party, Bloc Quebecois and most Liberal MP's. Even in the event that this for some reason failed to pass, it still has access to an enormous US market with the backing of Penn. I love this stock boys and girls!

Important Notice
Dear haters, I have so much more for you to be mad at. Just be patient. Behind someone successful, always lies a pack of haters behind. Because lets face it — if you can’t handle being talked about... you’re not ready for success. Success comes in a variety of things; little and big. Everyone wants to be “successful” in life... but what they really don’t know? They already are. They’re waking up every single day, battling life as it comes to them; problems, situations, decisions, sickness, and just doing their best at life... and thats really all that matters? You’re waking up every day - if you’re blessed with it - doing little things during the day, or having a relaxful “nothing” day.... and that? That is successful, too. Reward yourself every so often. Don’t be scared to take a few days off work - you’re doing yourself a favour by making your mental and physical health better for a day... regaining all that strength, and just having a relaxing, stress free day... and we all deserve those every once in a while. So if you’re feeling anxious, and down, and not wanting to go to work? Don’t feel bad to call in.... everyone needs “those days” to get onto a better day!

TODAY IS NATIONAL GIRLS and WOMEN IN SPORTS DAY • Coolin Killin It (Life is like a puzzle, you just have to find the right piece.)
I'm not seeing a huge amount of knowledge on this subreddit, so I'm going to list some of the reasons why I'm hoping for some decent price increases.. If you find anything juicy that I've missed feel free to leave a top level comment or even message me and I'll add it. Perhaps we should keep updating this post and sticky it as a goto DD for SCTSCRF?
Score have the most popular sports app in Canada and second most popular in the US behind ESPN, this puts them in a somewhat unique position to integrate sports betting in to a popular sports app (though note FUBO just announced purchasing Vigotry with their intention to integrate sports betting in to their sports streaming service, they closed up 34.32% today on the news and likely caused the dips in the share prices for SCR and DKNG, even PENN's share price seemed to waiver around midday);
Score already have sports betting live in Colorado, Indiana and New Jersey;
Score recently did a share offering and raised $25,649,390 which can be used for growth and expansion of sports betting in the US - check out their careers page and click on available opportunities;
Score have a multiyear partnership with the NBA and the MLB to be an authorized sports betting operator, including access to official betting data and league marks/logos for the betting app;
Score have a strategic multi-state market access partnership with PENN, PENN have access to 11 states, further PENN have a 4.7% stake in Score with the potential for this stake to increase as additional market access fees become payable (the second link, which is from PENN, says the term of the agreement with PENN is 20 years, even DKNG only has a deal for 10 years subject to a 10 year extension);
Let's look at some user numbers. As expected they were down a bit during 2020 due to covid, but that is about to change across the industry with sports opening up properly and sports betting being legalised in many US states and hopefully Canada to help raise tax funds for covid expenses (never will sports betting have been more socially acceptable, almost encouraged!). They achieved 3 million active monthly users (4.3 million in q1 2019, should see this or higher again once sports start up properly - 62% of those users were in the US, 27% in Canada and the remaining 11% in other international markets). Users had an average of 70 sessions per month (75 the year prior), so 3*70 = 210 million users per month. 292 million video views for esports in just Q4 alone, year-over-year growth of 243%! Their esports tiktok account has over 1 million followers while their sports tiktok account has almost 2.5 million (up over 500k in the last quarter). Over 1.5 million youtube subscribers for their esports channel. Their twitter account has ~600k followers, almost double what DKNG have! Their social sports content across Twitter, FB, Instagram and TikTok achieved an average monthly reach of about 103 million;
Score already cover women's sports, doing this without having to follow the competitors or have it requested by women shows a genuine interest in supporting women's sports. Hopefully this will extend to allowing sports betting on women's sports;
Score esports has been named exclusive English language broadcast partner for League of Legends' Demacia Championship, a marquee annual event featuring 24 of China’s top esports teams. Live event coverage will run from December 20-27 and be streamed across theScore esports’ YouTube and Twitch channels. The Demacia Championship will be theScore esports’ first-ever live event broadcast, with production originating from their esports headquarters in Toronto.
Score has joined the National Council on Problem Gambling as a Platinum member - this bodes well for support of Score from politicians and people normally critical of sports betting who are mostly onside at the moment through the need of raising tax money for covid related costs.
Future catalysts I'm hoping for:
There's a live webcast to report q1 f2021 financial results Jan 13 at 5:30pm EST (details here). Hopefully good news so we 🚀 rather than ☄️ short-term, but I'm still bullish long-term regardless because sports have not really started up properly yet, nor has sports betting opened up in many places yet. With a bit of luck the income from the share offering will be included in the revenue for this quarter which might help;
If we ever get uplisted to NASDAQ/NYSE and get out of the penny stocks then I would be surprised if it doesn't get pumped in numerous places including WSB;
Legalisation of sports betting across more US states and Canada. The governor of NY has now expressed interest after previously being opposed to the idea, so too has Texas for example. Score do not yet have a partnership with a NY casino, but hopefully they will get on to that, they do have access to Texas through PENN;
Partnerships with NFL and NHL would be awesome to go along with the NBA and MLB partnerships;
Successfully competing with the big players like DKNG (and now FUBO too), hopefully with juicy earnings reports in to the future (if we do, look at the performance and current prices of DKNG and PENN, I'd be extremely happy if we ever made it to CAD$20/share, if we got to DKNG's current USD price we'll be in tendie heaven);
Huge uptake in sports betting with a rally of public support to help cover the public costs associated with Covid;
Maybe esports betting could become a huge thing? TheScore seem like they're in a good position to earn a decent market share there, possibly even be the ones to introduce it and bring it to market?
tl;dr: 🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀 (hopefully at least 10x) If you would prefer an ETF to have exposure to the betting market check out BETZ. position: 42.8k shares
I wanted to share with the group some due diligence and speculation I have done around Gamehost (TSX: GH). I want to start by saying that this is not a situation where you urgently need to buy this right now and ride up a wave, there will be no rocket ships on this post and I strongly encourage you to perform your own due diligence and see if you want to buy this stock. This is an extremely low volume stock and if you rush to buy it, the price will go up far past the supply of sellers. I do not intend to pump this but only to get critique. Gamehost is an owner and operator of 3 casinos located in Alberta, 2 hotels in Grande Prairie and a retail store rented to a liquor store near one of the casinos. The 3 casinos are: Boomtown Casino in Fort McMurray, The Great Northern Casino in Grande Prairie and the Deerfoot Inn and Casino in Calgary which they own 91% of currently. As you probably guessed by these locations, the casinos are cyclical and make a lot of money when oil prices are up and go through downturns when prices are low and projects stop. All 3 casinos are not destination type casinos like you would find in Las Vegas where people come from all around to visit, but are very reliant on their local communities. The Boomtown Casino is the only casino in Fort McMurray and the Great Northern Casino is the only proper casino in Grande Prairie with a much smaller limited one in town. The Deerfoot Inn and Casino is 1 of 7 (yes, 7!) casinos in the Calgary area. It primarily focuses on the Southeastern portion of the city and the surrounding suburbs and still serves a market of about 200,000 people in just that area. All 3 casinos are also very focused on live events and have become gathering points for live events and nights out for their communities. Although all 3 casinos have been affected by oil downturns all 3 communities they serve have much higher median income than the country as a whole. The casinos have remained profitable throughout the entirety of the oil downturn and despite a dividend cut in 2016 they have still paid a consistently strong dividend until the COVID-19 pandemic (more on this later). Grande Prairie’s economy is more focused on natural gas extraction which has been consistently profitable. Calgary as a major city does have a diversified economy as well which leaves just Fort McMurray to be the lone straggler in dealing with oil prices. No new casinos have been built in Alberta since 2006, which has left people still coming to the doors of the casinos regardless of the economy. All three cities have seen consistent population growth greater than 10% from 2016 according to Statistics Canada’s estimates which is far greater than the national average. People are still coming to these cities and are still making a fairly high wage compared to the average Canadian. The second thing that has likely come to your mind is why casinos when they have been shut down during the pandemic? As the vaccine is currently being implemented the orders will not last forever. When the casinos have been opened even with reduced services, they have remained profitable and the management has responded by using the pandemic as an opportunity. They have been consistently buying back thousands of shares every day and cancelling them. If you look at their SEDAR profile you can see that they have not missed a single day to cancel at least 2,000 shares per day. Since the company had 24.5 million shares issued, they have bought back about 1-2% of the float so far which has made the stock even harder to buy on the open markets due to the lack of volume. They have also been approved to expand the operations of the Deerfoot Inn and Casino which should be completed by the summer. The insiders have followed by accumulating many shares in their personal accounts over this period of weakness. In the third quarter of 2020 the company posted EPS of 12 cents per share down from 16 cents a year ago. Revenue was down to $4.9 million from $6.7 million. This is with severe restrictions and limitations on the amount of people that can come in the casino and what they can do. All live events were cancelled, table games were restricted and yet the company was still making enough money to buy back significant shares and improve their existing assets. The management has essentially channelled the dividend into making the number of shares decrease in a time of strong price weakness. There is interest in this space since the largest casino operator in the country Great Canadian Gaming was acquired recently for almost double what they were trading for in the spring. Private equity firms have been looking into casinos as a post-recovery play. Unlike companies in airlines or movie theatres, these do not have significant issues staying profitable during intense downturns, they only become less profitable with a sudden surge afterwards. I am speculatively buying this stock on the idea that as COVID-19 restrictions are gradually lifted there will be an awkward window where people will be back almost to normal within Canada and will have a strong urge to go out and do activities that they have been restricted from doing for months. At the same time they will be unable to travel internationally due to different countries having different vaccination schedules, planes still operating at reduced capacity with many airlines being in trouble and governments being reluctant to remove limitations abroad. This will significantly bring business to casinos and other live event focused businesses within Canada. I anticipate that in the 12 months past restrictions being lifted that the business will see a significant bump in EPS. They will reinstate the dividend and the share price will grow significantly. My personal price target is $12 per share but I could see it being anywhere from $10-$15 per share. This is without oil prices budging at all. In the long-term the price will be cyclical based on oil prices unless they start diversifying geographically. It is extremely difficult to get a licence to open a casino, which leaves the company with the only option of acquiring other casinos. This is a possibility down the road but something I will look more into once I see a significant bump in EPS due to increased demand. I do believe that in the current market with the price having barely recovered from the March lows, that the stock is a very good contrarian play in the 12-24 month range. Holding after that could potentially be risky depending on your own views on how the oil industry will play out and if the management has what it takes to diversify. Online gambling is an even longer term threat but since these casinos are focused on live events and have become a staple of the communities that they are in, this is not likely to be a threat for some significant time. Please let me know what you think, feel free to criticize. If you guys like my analysis I could do more on other small or mid cap companies. There have been a few I have kicked myself over missing.
Sports betting in times of Corona. Here is your ticket to the moon. The next DKNG.
I'm basically quoting u/coinforce here. I discovered this gem, because of him and am already 14% plus since I bought. Thanks mate. Alright nerds, gather round and listen closely. I've graduated to pennystocks chasing these juicy tendies while serving as an autistic prophet delivering good news to the retards and gambling degenerates in that sub. "Alrightu/Sweet-Zookepergamehurry the fuck up and give us the ticker you pumper" This ain't a pump. When I see the next golden ticket, I know when to enter with conviction and realize profits while some of you nerds decide to bag hold XSPA and downvote comments to make yourselves feel better.
Score Media and Gaming Inc. (TSE: SCR) (OTCMKTS: TSCRF)
What the fuck is this? Score Media and Gaming Inc. empowers millions of sports fans through its digital media and sports betting products. Its media app 'theScore' is one of the most popular in North America, delivering fans highly-personalized live scores, news, stats, and betting information from their favorite teams, leagues, and players. The Company's sports betting app 'theScore Bet' delivers an immersive and holistic mobile sports betting experience and is currently available to place wagers in New Jersey, Color. Key words for you nerds who can't read and have ADHD: SPORTS BETTING It's already common knowledge sports betting is already big in the North American market - and will continue to generate tons of revenue as states continue to legalize sports betting. Canada is following suit. Legislations will be passed Q1 2021 and we're soon going to see an influx of CANADIAN online betting. Basically all of Canada uses this app exclusively for sports.
10M+ downloads on their sports media app with 4.7 stars on Google play store
#1 sports app in Canada (#2 behind ESPN in the US) with 10% of Ontario's entire population that uses it
theScore successfully began the multi-state expansion of its mobile sportsbook, theScore Bet, launching in both Colorado and Indiana in September
theScore Bet secured market access to operate an online casino in New Jersey via a multi-year agreement with Twin River Worldwide Holdings Inc.
Recently closed its bought deal offering yesterday, issuing 28.6mm shares at $1.40/sharefor gross proceeds of $40mm.
Total views of theScore esports’ video content across all platforms reached a new all-time quarterly record of 292 million in Q4 F2020, year-over-year growth of 243%.
Strong fucking balance sheet = increased flexibility for upfront investments in new markets (e.g., market access fees, infrastructure, etc.)
theScore is competitively advantaged in Canada, vs. foreign operators, as a homegrown player with a strong brand, which we believe will afford it preferential treatment by regulators with early market access, thus paving the way for early market share gains
theScore esports just recently has been named the exclusive English language broadcast partner for the League of Legends’ Demacia Championship, a marquee annual event featuring 24 of China’s top esports teams.
🚀 Let's take a look at DKNG and PENN this year 🚀 🚀 Share prices for these companies have gone up 300% already this year alone, and with more legalization coming through 2021, theScore is just beginning to scratch the surface and will follow suit. 🚀 TIMING: As vaccines begin to be distributed and the economy recovers, states are desperate for revenue and will be looking to ease regulations on sports betting. The more Sport games start promoting and reopening, the more these stocks will gain (especially with March Madness, NBA/NHL playoffs, etc.) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 🚀 Listen - I'm literally handing you a platter of gold here. If you understand this market, the trends and where actual revenues can be generated - then you understand the play here. Canada is UNTAPPED. This thing will pick up steam soon and will graduate from TSX/OTC and can be easily listed on the NASDAQ. Once that happens, Robinhood will have access and the sky is the limit. I'm not here pumping a fucking non-revenue generating, fuelled by hype only, and a company within an industry that I don't fucking understand. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TLDR: BUY AND GET IN NOW. Clearly, I'm on Interstellar's Endurance spaceship with TARS and CASE about to enter a wormhole that'll slingshot me into another galaxy... while most of you nerds are fighting to get on wooden sail boats. At the same time, I'm from the future telling Murphy Cooper (you nerds) how to find the tendies. MURPHY'S LAW: WHATEVER CAN HAPPEN, WILL HAPPEN. EDIT: FORGOT THESE 🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
This is going to outperform the market handily this year.Recent graduate to the TSX. Stock is nearly done consolidating i’d wager over the next 4 trading days we see a big bull candle and move on up. Its going to the naz before Q2 End. Does more rev than $GAN yet 3 times as undervalued. Why? Company had a terrible balance sheet. Big earnout they lost control of. New CEO joins in late august strikes a deal with owner of oryx (b2b online casino operatoaggregator brag bought) for shares in leu of cash owed. Huge float my guess is we could see a 2-1 or 3-1 reverse stonk split before naz uplisting. Brag has been spreading like a bad weed. Cant be stopped. Pending approval for online gaming/gambling licenses in NY and NJ. Were talkin Apollo 11 to the moon guys. Keep yer eye on it.
Fellow retards, I present to you a special situations play unfolding on a Canadian casino operator. TL;DR-Great Canadian Gaming (GC- TSX) had an unsolicited bid by Apollo to take private, it’s going to be rejected due to the lack of process that was ran. Expect Apollo’s bid to be upped or they run a real process and multiple contenders come in. Given this April OTM calls offer a very strong risk-reward. Great Canadian Gaming (GC- TSX) is a casino operator that is beaten up but in a healthy position to outlast the off and on closures with a vaccine on the way. They were trading in the mid 20’s and Apollo came in with an unsolicited bid for the company at $39. This was presented just prior to the Q3 earnings and discussed with shareholders on the call. On the Q2 earnings call the CEO was extremely bearish on their outlook causing the stop to drop into the 20’s. This despite the company having positive EBITDA due to the operating nature of casinos in Canada (Government reimbursements for CapEX, etc). This caused some to question when Apollo approached the company and if there are some nefarious dealings going on. The vote is on December 23rd. Shareholders were vocal in the Q3 earnings call they were not taking this, they feel it's dramatically undervalued. Management wanted to take it despite having run no process for the company. There is a misalignment of incentives, minus the CEO board owns less than 0.5% of the stock and the CEO gets a $30m payday on his options if it goes through. There is a strong risk-reward play in April OTM calls. Here are the scenarios for these calls to pay off.
Apollo ups their bid
Another contender comes in and starts a bidding war (Brookfield, the worlds second-largest asset manager is already a JV partner with GC on several casinos)
The deal could fall through and no one else could show up to bid. With April calls if this deal falls through there is a good chance the stock recovers by then and is back in the 40’s as it was pre-covid. The pre-covid stock price was low for such a great company, they had a large amount of CapEx on the books from the construction of new casinos and they had not yet opened. Those casinos are now finished and all they have to do is open the doors.
We Made an Even More Socially Responsible Portfolio Introducing Wealthsimple’s new SRI portfolio. We designed it to be the most effective, low-cost, and, yes, socially responsible ETF in Canada. By Wealthsimple — June 16, 2020 We were pretty excited a few years ago when we introduced our Socially Responsible Investing (SRI) portfolio. There was a huge demand among our clients (and our own team) for a way to grow wealth while also growing a better world. Our SRI portfolio was a way to do just that: it had low fees, good returns, excellent diversification and invested in funds and companies that met a pre-determined threshold for social responsibility — low carbon emissions, cleantech innovation, sustainable growth in emerging markets, gender diversity. Finally: Here was a way to invest not just wisely and profitably, but with a conscience. We’re also dedicated to two important principles: first is reassessing our investments and the rest of our business to see if there’s a better way to do it, and second, to be as transparent as possible. And, transparently, we realized there was a problem with our SRI portfolio. The thresholds the funds used to pick companies to invest in left a lot to be desired. So rather than depending on outside funds, last year we began building our own, better version. And today we’re introducing two new low-fee Wealthsimple ETFs: WSRI, which holds North American companies, and WSRD, for developed markets outside North America, such as Japan, Australia, and Europe. Both ETFs trade on the Toronto Stock Exchange, and they’re the basis for our redesigned SRI portfolios on Wealthsimple Invest (plus some government bonds to mitigate risk). But first, let’s go back to what went wrong. We Didn’t Want the Best Worst Companies The problem with our previous portfolio was simple: the standard way ETF providers decide which companies get included in a socially responsible fund is flawed. What they do is rank companies in any given industry by their social responsibility, then invest in the highest-scoring companies. The problem with this approach is that it’s based not on being, on balance, responsible. It’s based on being responsible relative to other companies in any given industry. That way of filtering meant that some of these ETFs still invested in fossil fuels companies and tobacco companies and arms manufacturers and problematic mining companies. They simply invested in the least bad of those companies. The problem is that a company might be the “most responsible” weapons manufacturer — but it’s still a weapons manufacturer. And our clients who were being conscientious about their investments by and large didn’t want to invest in any weapons manufacturers — even if they happen to have lower carbon output than their competitors. The existing funds available in Canada just didn’t make it possible to do that (while also being diversified). So We Made Our Own ETFs We set out to build a fund with far more intentional and stringent filters for the companies we’d be investing in. That meant weeding out entire industries, and types of corporate behaviour. The result? When you invest in a Wealthsimple ETF, here are what the funds won’t invest in: Big polluters, like oil and gas-related companies. Companies involved in thermal coal mining or coal power generation. We’ve also omitted the top 25% of carbon emitters in each industry — lowering the overall carbon footprint of the funds without sacrificing diversification. Companies in violation of the UN Global Compact (major controversies and human rights violations). Any defence contractors or weapon manufacturers. Companies involved in the manufacture of tobacco products, alcohol products, and casino, gaming, and adult nightclub/entertainment companies. Companies without women on the board. Companies in these funds must have 3+ or 25%+ women on their boards. What will we invest in, then? To clarify a popular misconception about SRI funds, it won’t be all electric-car companies and wind power. (That’s a different category of cause-driven investing called impact investing, which you can do on Wealthsimple Trade.) No, what we look for are companies that have diversity on their boards and walk the walk when it comes to progressive policies in the realms of sustainability and corporate governance. Internationally, this means a concentration of companies in Germany and the Nordic nations, which tend to have the most regulation in those areas. In North America, it means a wide range of companies in sectors ranging from financial services to real estate to food and beverage conglomerates. No Baddies,PlusLower Fees and Wealthsimple-Quality Performance The other big benefit to making our own ETFs is we could charge lower fees. SRI funds are typically a little more expensive than non-SRI funds, for good reason: someone has to do the research and analysis that goes into deciding what’s included in and excluded from the funds, and that work comes with a cost. But since we’re the ones doing that research, and we’re no longer paying an outside firm a premium for the service, you’ll pay lower fees — the fee for WSRI is 0.20% and it's 0.25% for WSRD. The overall fee you'll pay for the equity funds in a Wealthsimple Invest SRI portfolio is only about 0.23% (compared to about 0.48% before). Like all our investing portfolios, our SRI portfolios are broadly diversified and designed for investors to keep their savings in so they can build wealth in the long term. There is no intended trade-off on returns — we believe you can still do well by doing good. Get Started All you need to do is sign up for a Wealthsimple Invest account and choose “make my portfolio socially responsible” when prompted during the sign-up process. Your portfolio will include the two new ETFs, as well as government bonds to mitigate the risk — the proportion between stocks and bonds depends on how much risk you decide to take on. You can also buy WSRI and WSRD on Wealthsimple Trade (and pay $0 commission fees), or anywhere else you buy ETFs. And if you’re already a Wealthsimple Invest client with an SRI portfolio, you don’t need to do a thing. Your investments will automatically be transferred into to the new portfolio.
Hey all, I have been an part time investor for about 10 years now and I am no way an expert. I trade and do securities analysis as a method to make money on the side and have a hobby interest in the area. With that said, I have been monitoring various social media platforms especially the investment topics and subs to see what the general sentiment is towards the market. While reading I have noticed a huge trend in rookies getting into the market, asking what should I buy or is this company good? Some come in with small amounts to invest and others with larger amounts. Either way the number of individuals has increased. I also have a fair amount of friends who have recently opened trading accounts, most of which have come to me asking for advice. Some of these friends event frequent the casino but with those closed they have turned to "day trading". (That might be a different conversation for later) This really got me thinking about the current state of the market and the big swings we are seeing. The two largest topics I have read/talked about have been oil companies and airlines (One that shall go unnamed due to its excessive use lately). Now of course there is natural volatility due to the current events but I think there is another factor also at play. I have a hypotheses that with the large amount of rookies getting into the market they are actually causing increased volatility in prices. With the ease of creating an investment account such as Robinhood, QTrade or even with your local bank we are seeing an increased number of rookie investors. Now I think they are somewhat smart for getting into the market now due to the lower prices but sadly I think their inexperience is causing larger swings. With the additional time on their hands they are constantly watching the market and reading the news about the oil/airlines dramatic rises and falls, even hearing about the TSX and DOW having record days. They rush into the market with their savings taking a quick look at the price now and the price from a year ago. They buy, telling themselves in 3 years this stock will be worth 2x/3x my investment. Now I don't disagree with them on this, I am going long with a percentage of my portfolio but with my few years of experience I know to set it and forget it and remove my emotions. Now back to these rookies, when they see the stock rise they get excited, then the price rises again and their FOMO kicks in and they tell themselves "it won't go this low again". They decide to buy as they don't want to miss out on this run, causing prices to rapidly increase. Now some of them might sell and make a profit but this can also create a false sense of security, they did it once they can do it again. They are now telling themselves I can make money timing the market, maybe they even put in more money next time. This is where their original intent of buying and holding for 3 years has gone out the window and they are now playing the swings. Now maybe they bought and didn't sell when it was up, they are still in the green and feeling pretty good; or maybe they decided to sell when it was up, made that profit, and are confident it will rebound like before. All of a sudden the price starts to drop erasing those gains, some rebuy at this point thinking they can turn it around again. Then it drops again, some sell to limit their losses and then it drops again and now it is in the red they don't like seeing that they have "lost" money. They panic and rush to sell because they don't want to lose more money. This causes a rapid decline and resulting in the stock to drop even lower. Now a few days goes by and the stock starts to recover, these rookies are watching the market and hearing the news they see the prices rise again, they are kicking themselves why did I sell and they get that FOMO again and the cycle repeats itself. The rookie will keep doing this either until they learn from their mistakes or leave with their losses. Now I am talking about one rookie with a few hundred dollars or maybe I am talking about a rookie self-managing their TFSA or RRSP with a few thousand dollars but if multiply this by a few thousand rookies it really starts to add up. TLDR; So with the ease of creating an investment account and markets at all time lows we are seeing an increase in rookies that are contributing to added volatility in the market causing increased dips and spikes to stock prices. So am I wrong, do you agree? Do you have more to add? I would love to hear your thoughts or comments. I would also love to see the data of new enrolments from brokers over the past 6 months to see if this is true. My comment to rookies reading this: Do your research, create a strategy, stick to your strategy and "stay calm and don't panic". If are are going to "gamble" on stocks be safe and only invest what you can afford to lose.
Alright jabronis, as mentioned earlier I will be driving my turdsla model 3 from ashburn Virginia to Southwestern Ontario. Total travel distance is 830 km. I’m here to document my travel time, including all the charge stops. I’m thinking I’ll capture charge time, how much I charged and the charge cost. Let me know if you want anything else. Some notes: it’s optimal driving conditions. A bit overcast but not raining. Temp is looking to be around 20 Celsius for the majority of the drive. I’ve done this route before a total of 6 times, so I’m fairly confident with it. 3 times in the Tesla and 3 times in my 2008 Acura TSX. Since the drive is highway a majority of the time I will be utilizing autopilot whenever I can. Im starting the trip with an almost full charge, range is at 500km. Departure time is 8:15 am. The first stop I’m planning to make is Altoona. I’m happy to answer any questions you guys might have. https://imgur.com/gallery/Po4UKMh First planned stop. https://imgur.com/gallery/4Dik8JL Time lapse of hwy 70, where the mountains begin. https://imgur.com/gallery/BmOTWYY Im really enjoying these views Another AP timelapse. https://imgur.com/gallery/Fqgtvol AP made two mistakes here, the first was when it travelled too slow in the passing lane and I had to imitate a lane change with the turn signal stock. The second was where it started a lane change but cancelled half way trough. This is one of those things that really freak you out when it happens the first time.
Update:
10:47 am, arrived at Altoona https://imgur.com/gallery/vAZLtwV I drove 260 Kms, took about 2hrs and 25 minutes. The charge went from 505km when I left to 187kms here, so the speed and elevation charge really took its toll. The charger is working at 150kh, and I’m only charging enough to make it salamanca, NY, which is 242kms away. Time to grab a coffee.
Update:
11:07 am back on the road. Charge time 20 was minutes and added 200km charge. Next supercharge is 240 km away and estimated travel time of 2 hours 45 minutes. Supercharger cost was $3.85. I also noticed that my tire psi was a bit low, will add air at the next stop. https://imgur.com/gallery/SOsxUAP
update
2pm. Arrived in Salamanca with 97km left of a charge, pretty close to what was estimated. All the downhill driving helped. The next stop will be the duty free, then grimsbee supercharger, for now I’m off to the casino. https://imgur.com/gallery/zC47abM
update
2:17pm. Leaving for the border, then grismby supercharger. Added 240km of charge for a cost of $10.15. Time charging 17 minutes. https://imgur.com/gallery/G5HWrSD It seems that superchargers in NY state are a lot more expensive than the ones in PA.
4:21 pm, crossed the border after about a 20 minute lineup. Since the charge is high enough I’m skipping Grimsby and going to the Hamilton Superchargers https://imgur.com/gallery/cRx1G90
update
5:23 pm. This is the last charge stop. I’m 150km from home. Arrived with 100km if battery left, I hit a bit of traffic on the QEW, I’m estimating about 20 min lost there. https://imgur.com/gallery/yhKa0Sw
update
5:35pm, last 12 minute charge stop. Gained 166kms for a price of $4.35. Will be home in 1.5hours. GrandTotal charge time for the trip was 49 minutes and the total cost was $18.35. I’ll check in one last time when I make it home.
final update.
Made it home at 7:05pm with 93km in the battery. Gonna go chill. Pc dudes
So disclaimer I’m invested in these but I’m trying to be very unbiased Vslr: solar energy stock. You can swing trade this or just sit back on it. It has had constant growth for the past 5 years. It’s earnings have been bad but I bought because of the social aspect. Every change in society needs a catalyst and I believe the already heated global warming discussion mixed with the oil drop is a perfect time for people to start thinking green. The thing that most interest me is the consistent growth because it’s more security Uco. It’s an oil etf. Because oil crashed the only way for it to go is up. An etf is safer because it mitigates if a specific company is doing well. Taco. Litterally all growth since corona virus stock falling. Mcf. Riskier oil but at this time I’ll try my luck and try to make gains. It’s been doing me well. Cnty. A casino stock that has had good growth since the market crash. I think with things starting to reopen this will only do better. Before the market crash it was 10$ now it’s 3.5$ For tsx I urge you to look at ipo.to and joy.to litterally super cheap stocks so a 5 cent gain is like 15% Play. Dave and busters has been around forever and will be around long enough for me to profit. It may not survive in the long run but I’m just taking my money. It also survived in 2008 Again I’m not telling you to buy. But do your own research and buy what you think is best. These are my plays for anyone looking for tickers outside of mvis and biotech. Feel free to drop what you guys are invested down below. If there’s any negativity I’m Finna tell yo momma you being a b**ch

Patriot One Technologies Inc (PAT.V) - Potential stock-rocket with enormous potential? My thoughts
Stock: Patriot One Technologies Inc Market: TSX.V Currently at 1.55CAD My Thoughts: I see an enormous potential here. The revolutionary new technology that Patriot One is developing could potentially stop terrorattacks all over the world. To sum it up their radarsystem can detect weapons on a big amount of people in public areas in short time to a low cost. It has already been installed in Las Vegas (see link below). They're rather new on the market but are growing as fast as a wildfire. I could easily see their technology being implemented in every airport and public space. Yesterday was a huge day for them and investors are coming from all over the world. Thinking about investing a large sum of my capital. And if my money can help in the combat against terrorism that's also a big plus. https://www.bloomberg.com/quote/PAT:CN 10/11 - Patriot One Technologies Inc.

Hi, I'm new to investing and started experimenting with stocks recently. I've been looking into a few penny stocks and accidentally found Tangelo games, listed as GEL on the Canadian TSX. (NOT GEL on the NYSE) It's a Canadian gaming company that touts itself as the only publicly traded social casino gaming company, which I find interesting. It has quite a wealth of games, which seem at least partially only big in Latin countries. That being said, a company like this could possibly be in the position of one day developing at least one good mainstream hit at some point due to its game output. It seems to have been trading since 2012 with a high of 60 cents per share before rapidly declining and it releases quarterly reports. However, the other day it's stock was only a single penny for a while, but then jumped up to 2.5 cents recently. I'm new to investing and penny stocks, so I'm wondering what you guys think about Tangelo. Do you think it's worth investing in? Do you think its bubble popped already? Would like your thoughts in analyzing a stock like this and what to consider in a penny stock.
Hello guys. I've noticed many casinos offer rebates on losses. Do you think that the online casinos (the dow, tsx etc) would offer rebates? This is where I prefer to do most of my gambling. Thinking of trying to buy low and sell high (an idea I thought of myself) but would like some downside protection. If buying low and selling high doesn't work I was thinking of buying $500 worth of a stock on it ex-dividend day so I make free cashflow forever (why doesnt everyone do this?)
I'm really liking these guys myself; great EPS growth since 2007, and recently a stock retirement program too: http://www.google.ca/finance?q=TSE:GH Along with a yield of 6.9%, what's not to like? I'm curious what my fellow TSX investors think... I did really well a number of years ago with Gateway Casinos Income Trust, and unless you're a garbage company running a casino is a license to print money... Thoughts?
