Inquiries, gasps, and cheers regarding stock prices and their changes (Part 3)

My portfolio is up 30% in a month here as well. Of course, that was preceded by my assets melting away by a five-figure sum in a short period (large for me). Largest positions are in Kempower and Lindex.

That joy didn’t last long. I wonder what kind of downhill slide we’re in for now?

Paper hands are selling down on low volume. Probably too much trauma from Helsinki growth stocks. If it wasn’t already my largest direct stock holding, I would buy more.

That’s way too slow of a stock. +10,000% moves are required daily, like with this prime specimen:

Yesterday it apparently took a sharp -70% “interim death” down to two bucks, from where it went all the way up to 40 bucks in the after-hours :exploding_head: Now it looks like it’s opening quite wild again based on the pre-market.

Why is today a down day and not an up day :melting_face:?

(I’m asking these most important and useful questions so you don’t have to /s.)

Yeah, same here. Return is apparently a bit over 100% now. Pity there’s only about 200k NOK of them now. But hindsight is always easy, and it’s good to have at least that much.

Apparently, it’s an excellent spot to short if I hype some stock here.

Is there anyone here who has picked up Forward Air stock? It has dropped over 90% fast.
The merger didn’t exactly go smoothly. I’m a bit interested, but it’s been a really rough ride.

Bloom is currently on a good rise, but a long-term chart like this always scares me a bit, where every peak is lower than the last and the subsequent drop is always lower than the previous one. Even if it’s not a very scientific fear :smile:

SPY volume is at a record low today.

In addition, ES futures rose late in the session and closed above 5342.50, which fundamentally isn’t bearish at all, but my “level tracking” is real-time and doesn’t project very far ahead—for example, regarding what might happen tomorrow after Nvidia’s Q1 results. Tomorrow, the Fed minutes will also be released at 21:00.

The VIX also dropped below 11.90 (11.85), which is the lowest level since December 2023. A very slow day overall.

The strongest moves are often preceded by extremely low volumes. No one knows the direction, though

This is also true, but the market offers plenty of small hints all the time. Often, the “final” slow rise is made with lower volume, steadily and grinding upwards painfully slowly. That’s the impression I got from the movement of the last couple of days, as sellers have struggled to even get below the ES 5320 level and numerous single prints remained unfilled (shorts trapped). Anyway, everyone is waiting for Nvidia now, and absolutely everyone’s estimates are pure guesses.

Surprisingly many are indeed still waiting for that massive move, including several of my acquaintances. The market is good at creating head-fakes and failed breakouts/breakdowns, so let’s be prepared for anything. My own visibility in following the market is usually the length of a 30min TPO chart, but that’s enough for me from a risk management perspective. In the long run, I am ultimately always an optimist and always a bull.

Good report overall, right in line with estimates, and the share price reaction:

Organic growth there was negative (as expected)

Yet another +10% day for Metacon, some pretty impressive percentages for the week and month

Directed offering in Nanoform at 2.20, analysts’ target price 4.40 euros, and someone is aggressively dumping shares at 1.90.

NoHo has established its position in the “eight-euro club” quite firmly. Inderes’ target price has been €10 for probably two or three years now. The share price just won’t seem to rise at all. Is the market pricing in the possibility that if performance doesn’t continue to be good indefinitely, it’s a five-euro stock?
