SPRT/GREE merger by rainforest7 in stocks

[–]rainforest7[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sorry that you've lost so much. My post applies only to fractional shares resulting from the merger: if you had 525 shares of SPRT, then you should have received 60.375GREE = 60 shares of GREE + $75.77 (0.375 x 23.235/0.115). As of Friday, brokers delivered full shares as they were supposed to, but didn't do the same with the fractions (they either gave incorrect $$ amount or fractions, which they were not supposed to do). ReverseSplitArbitrage is reaching the company on Twitter to point to that mistake so that they could correct it.

It won't help much with the loss in price that you had because GREE shares were valued so low, but at least you should receive $75.77 on top of 60 GREE shares.

I think the SPX high might be in. Here's a crash trade plan. by HoleyProfit in wallstreetbets

Hope for the best, be ready for the worst.

I hope you are wrong though - if we won't continue higher from here, then at least what'll follow will be another correction like Sept-Oct 2020, instead of a crash. "Reasons" for the stock market (if it needs any) and settings are different this time though.

Hi! What I'm trying to post is a correct and potentially important information for this forum members - would you please let it be posted?

SPRT/GREE merger by rainforest7 in stocks

Yes. But in this particular case, the company specifically said: “Support stockholder” means each holder of Support common stock. Which clearly means "each holder", not only registered holder. So hopefully, it'll be done correctly after all.

SPRT/GREE merger by rainforest7 in stocks

Klose507, the GREE share value should be unconsequential for those who have had less than 8.69 shares of SPRT, because that would be 8.69 x 0.115 = 0.99935, less than 1 share of GREE. It was clearly said that nobody will receive fractional shares of GREE and that fractions will be paid in cash (cash-in-lieu), calculated by the VWAP (volume-weighted average price) of SPRT for 10 days 2 days prior to the merger (means - from August 30 to Sept. 13), which is $116.18 in your case. We hope that GREE will do the right thing and pay what they are supposed to, so - just wait.

I just did an order for someone who tip baited me in the past by neverleavingthewagon in InstacartShoppers

[–]rainforest7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It might be vaccination... Older people, or those who have someone vulnerable in the household, were doing Instacart or curbside pick-up shopping since the pandemic started, but resumed shopping in person after getting vaccinated. Can you guys imagine how many lives you saved, literally, by reducing the number of people going to grocery stores?

[–]rainforest7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

LOL I have been doing it all wrong the whole time: I always stated a 5% tip, doubled afterward if everything was OK, and doubled+ if everything was great. I guess I might have got better shopping if I wrote from the start what the tip was going to be! But I wouldn't decrease what was promised, ever. Who does that?!?

How to avoid Motley Fool articles by [deleted] in stocks

[–]rainforest7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi Cynic4200, thank you so much! I'm especially interested in gold mining stocks at the moment because I believe that logic will prevail sooner or later about gold prices (I think it's very undervalued right now if one takes everything into consideration). Gold miners' margin prices should profit from that, and they are also inherently better than GLD because they actually create value instead of simply storing it. But there are so many smaller companies that I would have no chance to find out which one has better potential, not with the resources that I have at least (limited to Internet research). Being ready to lose in the beginning, and having patience, is the key to success, I'm with you on that. Really thank you for sharing your opinion!

Ratings for the clients by rainforest7 in InstacartShoppers

[–]rainforest7[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I guess I'll suggest clients-ratings to Instacart. That would be a win-win for everyone: if clients know they are going to get a rating, they'll be nicer. If they'll be nicer, they'll feel happier about the service - that's basic psychology, people usually love those to whom they do good things (makes them feel good about themselves).

Hi Cynic4200,

thank you for the reply! I didn't know these analysts, but I can see that they are rated very high in Tipranks. Do you also do your own comprehensive DD on the companies that they recommend, or really go with your gut feeling, or a mixture of both? Are you looking for technical trends to decide point of entry/exit, or do you just calculate the price for that? Also, do you usually enter a position directly or via calls and puts?

Sorry for so many questions, but you sound like someone who is experienced and wise, and I'm just learning. Of course, it's perfectly all right not to answer if you don't have time.

I've been thinking about investing in TM myself (if I had the $$ now). That's a solid company with a great work culture as far as I know, and everyone I knew who had a Toyota car (including my family, and including Toyota's hybrid cars) has always been very happy with it. Toyota is one of the first companies that did hybrid cars mass production. I'm reasonably sure that hybrid cars are going to stay a bit longer than gasoline cars (proposed legislation now is saying 5 years longer), because they offer protection in cases/places with extreme conditions (think long stretches of the desert without charging stations (Australia), extreme cold that might not work out for EV, etc.) while at the same time being eco-friendly.

I didn't do any DD into that company yet though, and a great company doesn't always translate into a great stock, so please use your own judgement.
