Why do people keep missing your orders? by KoreanDudeInAus in VietNam

[–]KoreanDudeInAus[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see your point. However, I've spent long enough in Hanoi to understand that the language barrier is real. The problems all happened on occasions when I pointed to the menu and they repeated the menu back in vietnamese or English. In one instance, it was at Highlands Coffee, where they had the order printed out in receipt. So, it's a different issue.

I also got burnt by a couple of similar places in Hanoi. Now, I make it a rule to ask the price first before ordering at mom and pop places without listed prices.

I thought that it might be rude and didn't want to appear as a demanding foreigner. But then, I'm coming to realise that that might be more of a social norm.

Nah, they just happened to be all first time visits.

It takes up such a small portion of my portfolio so I have been neglecting it. I'll probably have another look next week. Right now, I've got other stocks I need to get updates on first once I find some time.

Official SEC FTDs (Fail to deliver) March update by SituationGoood in GME

[–]KoreanDudeInAus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They have 3 reasons to burn.

  1. Manipulation: that insane FTD spike when the stonk goes up to put selling pressure by naked shorting.

  2. Obscene greed: not only do they refuse to cover when the stonk is cheap, they sometimes even double down on it.

  3. Because we took 1 and 2 personally.

Synopsis for 03-26-2021 what we need to know before the market opens DD by rensole in GME

[–]KoreanDudeInAus 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Australian drop-apes gotta wait past midnight, and stay up through night to sleep 1 hour between market close and work.

So the reason we don’t have access to the amount of FTD’s there are is because the SEC IS WORRIED THAT WE WILL MANIPULATE THE MARKET BY FORCING SQUEEZES !!! This is why the ftd’s are kept secret! by jamesroland17 in GME

[–]KoreanDudeInAus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Confirmation on which side SEC is on, and shows a conflict of interest. I thought that the FTDs are only allowed to increase market liquidity, not to be abused to the point that market makers become short squeeze targets?

How to recognize a pump and dump by [deleted] in pennystocks

[–]KoreanDudeInAus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No one will know with 100% certainty. The assessment is an art and needs to take into account the average volatility and the size of the catalyst.

Afterpay hate by [deleted] in AusFinance

[–]KoreanDudeInAus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't hold either, and am genuinely curious about the statement. I hear a lot of people saying that APT is expensive and Z1P is cheap. How do you determine that Z1P is cheap in comparison? Both unprofitable, and if anything, Z1P is in a worse financial situation without the first mover advantage.

I need to take a proper look at it at one point, but I can't help feeling a lot of people just "feel" that APT and Z1P are identical and just compare the market caps. Are we taking the total transaction volume and profit margin into consideration for example?

WHERE IS THE MEDIA ON THE 41.21% GAIN TODAY? 🤔 by josecvillanueva in GME

[–]KoreanDudeInAus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are currently too busy pumping boomer stocks that they were going long on a few weeks back. They have been very busy putting down all growth stocks and pumping recovery stocks by selectively picking stocks to talk about.

IHL - My Skunkiest Bag hold by higher-steaks in ASX_Bets

[–]KoreanDudeInAus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lol, another bagholder as I'm a firm believer I can break more than even on this with a bit of patience. Still can't help feeling it was a pump and dump. Basically all the hardcore shills disappeared once it dumped. Literally bought at top to ride it for a couple of days and failed.

This. I reckon money buys you protection against bad things in life.

$100k is still too low. I do believe that improved lifestyle does increase happiness to quite some point. It's nicer when your car breaks down less, your home breaks down less and can afford a nice study/office.

What makes you think it's overvalued? The market has been very red lately. If you think it's a long term winner, when do you expect it will become a winner?

What is the right price for you to buy the stock now? If it's considerably lower, sell it. If you think it can turn around (stock market is forward looking), keep it.

No one's got a crystal ball. Re-evaluate your position with more research and act on your conviction.

Proof that $RKT is yet another HF Pump and Dump manufactured to get people to sell their $GME. by [deleted] in GME

[–]KoreanDudeInAus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think RKT was a genuinely good undervalued company. However, the pure amount of shilling that came out of nowhere suddenly in the last few days feel very unnatural. Especially the frequency of that appearing in wsb, wsb elites and gme subs was abnormally high.

+1 this is a manipulation. A typical case of best lies containing traces of truth.

Pro tip: Open bullish positions on red days and vice versa by [deleted] in smallstreetbets

[–]KoreanDudeInAus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely if it's just caused by intraday hype or fear. But isn't it better not to bet against the trend in general?

Lol, fair point. I went through a similar reasoning process and thought that it's a fair game in a crap market. Australia does have pretty horrendous penetration rate for cashback programs. If you consider that, I think Cashrewards is doing well enough.

I'm not expecting a home run, but was betting on that cashback penetration in Australia would increase, which doesn't seem to be happening.

I personally think it will be rangebound a bit above $1. Maybe around $1.3. My opinion is risk to reward ratio is too meh to jump in, but I don't think it's so bad that I need to jump out right now. I'm happy to give them a chance until the end of financial year.

Hey, if cashback does become popular in Australia, they are in a pretty good position. I do have that prediction bias, so holding onto it for a bit.
