In NIO average at $5.50 here…. Manipulated Chinese stock unfortunately. Deserves to be much higher

Signal_Importance986

Down 10’s of thousands between NIO, MARA, and ASTS. I’m an idiot.

NIO needs to go on a run up this month. Let's get it up to $70 like 2020 ;)

Loud-Big-144

ngl NIO is a good look right now, just broke into profitability and it’s down 38% in last 3 months, cheap buy

LuvSicPt5

damn didn't want to get into chinese EV shit show again but NIO being under 4$ on a rising sale volume might be a good opportunity

Anyone interested in buying a new car from NIO?

Bought 500 contracts for NIO for $5, am I regarded?

AeneasKurtz

Can $NIO get any lower? I don't want to buy puts because it looks like it can't get any lower than this but it's obviously going to go down

tnstockruns

NIO getting set to start moving up next week. Take a look!

ivanorehov

If you really just want to test out the mechanics, I found NIO decent. Its just that fees can eat up 10-20% of the small premiums so check your broker

Mobile-Two-5167

try selling circle internet or walmart or wayfair. Also RIOT. All are reasonable and have good premiums. I started out practicing with a company NIO which was a bad investment, but inexpensive enough to sell puts and then calls. Don't recommend but look into the others (you want the company that you sell puts on to be one that you believe in and is a little down (circle is up right now).

beachsandwichen

I wonder at which part of 18$ will GME close at next Friday…also which part of 4$ NIO will close at

beachsandwichen

I am honestly shocked that Zack’s gave NIO a buy rating

Loud_Ad_5024

Damn NIO is up x17 since then 😱

OutcomeBig4141

I bought heavy into EVs during the pandemic EV hype…LCID, NIO, charge point…  I sold when down 50%. Glad I got out at that much. 

beachsandwichen

How the fuck is NIO so illiquid when shit with 30000x the market cap moves 8-10% a day

BriackYOLO

SpaceX has a literal satellite internet monopoly and lands reusable rockets. NIO is an EV maker fighting a price war in China with constant dilution.

ChillingInMySnuggie

I love Chinese EVs but all of em just aren't performing like they use too. NIO was also my favorite and doing better with the government backing them, but I wouldn't dare to get in any of them now.

beachsandwichen

NIO calls……..ahahaha just kidding

HolidayReality6641

NIO

beachsandwichen

Guess I’m gonna load up on GameStop callls hahahahahaha just kidding most illiquid stock in history followed by NIO

beachsandwichen

Is GME the most illiquid stock on the market or is it NIO

beachsandwichen

So they tanking NIO and GME to zero or what

beachsandwichen

I mean the worst stock ever is GameStop and it’s not even close. I own a ton of shares and have since 2021 so I should know. Second worst is NIO. I own a ton of shares so I should know

beachsandwichen

NIO set a record in chinas ev premium segment…-3% premarket

beachsandwichen

Nah I buy og memes even better. Been in the market since 2015 too wouldn’t you know it. Bought 700 shares of NIO this week. Apparently citadel is gonna steal them from me or something because I have a room temp iq. Please don’t tell my wife that citadel got one over on me again

beachsandwichen

Is NIO the most illiquid stock on the market??? I think so

beachsandwichen

Man it’s so weird how since that crazy meme thing in 21 that GME and NIO have done nothing but drill and they can’t seem to go up at all. Prob pure coincidence

beachsandwichen

Have we entered the phase of the market where MM decide everything and nothing else matters??? NIO sitting at 4$ with zero volatility is hilarious in this day and age with all this Monopoly money running around

beachsandwichen

Is NIO illiquid

beachsandwichen

NIO and GME have to be the most illiquid stocks in history

beachsandwichen

Top ten most valuable companies move 8-10% with ease meanwhile NIO and GameStop haven’t moved more than 1% in 6 months…weren’t they a part of some kind of crazy meme squeeze or something a few years ago oh well prob nothing

Fit-Marionberry5248

Morgan Stanley’s bullish rating is the kiss of death  Do NOT forget that MS was pumping NIO 2021 with 70$ price target for a long, long time. 

beachsandwichen

Ever since Goldman Sachs upgraded NIO to 7$ price target it’s dropped 8.5%

tech01x

NIO.

beachsandwichen

NIO and GME the only two things on the planet left out the pump

beachsandwichen

Why is NIO not allowed to go up…oh that’s right u tried to do a meme pump and dump and no one sold so u can’t make retail poors rich that have 10-20k shares now

AdamNoble1997

I think the question I'd ask is: if this position was cash instead of stock today, would you choose to invest that $700 into NIO right now? If the answer is no, selling and moving on can be the right decision. Sometimes the tuition fee for becoming a better investor is a bad investment you never forget.

DesperateGanache8210

NIO

Moist-Guava-732

NIO just upgraded to 7 by GS its stabilized above 5 i would load up on long 5 calls whenever it dips below

beachsandwichen

That Goldman Sachs upgrade did nothing for NIO

RealisticTea9979

I don\`t know whether it\`s correct, but I'm deep into the technical and fundamental analysis and looking for a turning point in this case. If I find it I add to this position and wait. Are you sure NIO is hopeless?

terminalguy007

Six years and a 90% loss on NIO is a genuinely difficult position to be in, and the sunk-cost framing is worth examining carefully. The psychological pull to hold is strong — the brain doesn't want to "lock in" the loss — but the relevant question is never what the stock has done to you. It's what the stock is going to do from here, with no memory of your cost basis. NIO as a business has deteriorated significantly since 2020. Revenue has grown, but the company has never been profitable, free cash flow has been consistently negative, and the competitive environment in Chinese EVs has intensified dramatically — BYD and domestic players are in a price war NIO is structurally disadvantaged to win. The thesis that made NIO exciting in 2020 (premium EV brand, battery swap differentiation, growth at any price) hasn't translated into durable economics six years later. The $700 position you have now isn't tied to a business on the verge of a turnaround — it's tied to a company still burning cash in a more competitive market than when you bought in. The practical framework: ask yourself if you would buy NIO at today's price with fresh capital. If the honest answer is no, you already have your decision — you're just not acting on it because of anchoring to the original purchase price. The $6,000 loss is real whether you sell or not. The question is only whether the remaining $700 has better expected return in NIO or redeployed elsewhere. Tax-loss harvesting is also worth considering — at your income level going into dental school, realizing the loss this year could have real value depending on your other income and gains.

theocdoctr

If this is a taxable account and you have gains, just sell NIO to offset your gains. I got rid of my SQQQ. bought it for $17.41 and sold it for $3.75. Sucker did the reverse split twice. Started with 1000 shares, then 300, then 60. Luckily I sold it this April when it was high at $62. Now it's going for $38. This was my rollover 401K account.

Fluffy-Phrase-1204

This is the classic sunk cost problem. The market does not care what you paid, only what that $700 can do for you today. If NIO was a fresh idea you were looking at right now, would you buy $700 of it today instead of using that money for school / moving / S&P or whatever? If the honest answer is no, then you already know what to do. The “tuition” you paid was the 6k loss. The lesson you get out of it is the actual return.

beachsandwichen

Oh shit NIO had a grey day what a sophisticated efficient market

Stock-Possibility-67

I have 16 thousand shares of NIO. Same started buying at about 10 in 2020ish and sold some near the top. I now have averaged down to 8 dollars a share and holding it. They’re getting closer to real profitability maybe another year. Why not average down?

Informative-V

They keep trying to push $NIO down but it keeps standing strong at 4.80! $5+ by end of day!

Informative-V

Keep an eye on $NIO it doesn't stay below $4.70-$4.80 often, it always rebounds!

Informative-V

It's 2030 and I'm going to drive my brand new $NIO to $WEN then me and the homies are going to go to $GME to pick up GTA 7.

Southern_Money_9739

booklover_stockplay

I finally gave up on Paypal. $11k loss. Bought during covid also. The hype was awful. Age doesn't matter because I also fell for the trap. I also lost on NIO too. Sold for loss on it last year or the year before.

Laughs in NIO

IndiscriminateWaster

It’s funny to see this post as I did the exact same with NIO back then and felt sick looking at the loss at this point. Lots of good advice here that I’ll def be taking.

nkplague

For me it’s simple. If I had $700 today would I buy NIO? If yes you should hold. If no then you should sell.

Fortheseoccasions

Here’s my NIO story, I hate sharing this failure story of mine but here it is. During covid I heard about NIO as well and bought into the hype, I brought my account from 40k > 180k with both NIO options and stocks in like a year. I thought I was unstoppable. Then NIO dropped to 45$ and I am to 120k. It was so painful but I thought if I ride it out it would eventually recover. Nope it continue to drop to 12$, at that point I have 35k left on my account. I finally decided to sell everything because fuck NIO. After the last 2 years investing in other stocks my account is now about 85k, far from my peak but at least it’s recovering. It would have been like 15k if I left it with NIO. Fuck NIO.

tidder8

Need to get out of the mindset that NIO "owes" you the money. Sell it and do something useful with the money.

Ok-Employ8218

a good simulation i like to run in my head: if i had $700 today, would i buy NIO? at this point consider it cash on hand and buy what you would buy with $700.

midweastern

If you need the money or don't think the company has a future worth investing in, just sell and take the loss. You can claim the full capital loss up to like $3,500 and carry the remainder forward. FWIW I really like NIO at current prices and would buy more. Apart from BYD, they're best poised to capture international EV market share and are already sold in Scandanavia.

Corporate_Overlords

I'm confused. I was just looking at the chart for NIO. Did you basically buy it at the top and watch it tank? When you were purchasing it it had been at about 4 or 5 dollars per share a year before then you watched it skyrocket up to 40-50 dollars per share in a matter of months and thought: NOW is the time to buy! Is that what happened?

gatsby209

I would offset capital gains with it. So for example, suppose you sell another stock and make a $1,000 profit. Usually, you’d have to pay tax on that during tax time. But instead right after you sell for a $1,000 profit, sell off $1,000 of NIO stock. That way you get to keep that $1,000 you just made and you won’t have to pay any taxes on it. Repeat until you no longer have any NIO stock. (Then, buy a few shares at a much lower cost basis on the off chance we get another EV hype cycle and it 10x)

wwb_99

What is done is done, you can't fix the bad entry point. It is either 141 shares of NIO or $700. Given there are no taxes in play, the question to ask yourself is "how would I invest that $700 today?"

Double_Suggestion385

Nuclear_N

I had NIO. It was these kind of stocks that led me to all index.

abu_karam

I hold NIO bught my cost is 28.5

ValueSeeker1

At -90% the sunk cost debate is mostly academic — the real question is whether $700 deployed elsewhere has better odds than hoping NIO somehow 10x from here. I'd sell, harvest the tax loss, and put it toward something in your circle of competence. Dental school is frankly a better investment than NIO ever was. The 'I've held for 6 years' trap is real — the market doesn't care how long you've suffered.

Such-Distance4019

I had NIO. I sold @ a loss years ago, thanks God. I doubt EV is coming back, but what do I know. S&P will give you better return than holding on to NIO. SPY would have given you more than 70% return on your investment in the past 5 years.

HammerDownl

You have discipline my friend I would have sold it a long time ago that being said you could do a little tax harvesting to offset the games or do nothing and hope NIO comes back one day I held SOFI for two years at -50% because i bought at the wrong time. Now im up 150%. Go figure

VictorChristian

if you have any positions that have done well and you want trim that position or take the profit, this would be a nice time to offset $6000 of gains against the NIO $6000 loss. Another thing would be to just sell NIO at a loss, get $700 and reduce your 2026 taxable income by $3000 and 2027 taxable income by another $3000.

Valhallafax

If you had $700 today, would you put it all into NIO ? If the answer is no, you should sell it

Rav_3d

To be honest, serious investors in highly speculative stocks like NIO manage risk. You did not. When investing in individual stocks, I always use stop losses to manage risk on new positions. You can be right about a company and wrong on the timing. Or, you can be wrong about the company. Setting a maximum loss you are willing to endure keeps you from situations like this.

rice_not_wheat

If you had $700 cash, would you put it in NIO? If so, keep your position. If not, sell it and put that $700 in something you'd rather invest in. Don't fall for sunk cost fallacies. The unrealized loss is already lost.

fourwedge

I know you aren't asking about NIO... but that is the whole reason to own a company. If it is compelling enough that you believe in what they do and you think they will make money, have a moat, are growing earnings then you buy it and keep it... if something has changed with a company fundamentally then that's when I sell it. It should really have nothing to do with what price you bought it, or how far down it is for you. Is the company compelling? Does the company have a better then average (S&P 500) chance of beating the market? If no, then you should have sold it, the minute it's chances went below the S&P 500's chances of making a profit. If it never had that good of a chance, then you shouldn't have bought it. In summary: How are the companies fundamentals? You weren't looking at something silly like TA were you when you bought it I hope?

SnS2500

\> when do you finally move on? When you have a better use for the money. This is just about the easiest part of investing. If NIO is not in your mind the very best use of the money, sell it and put the money to better use.

OutspokenLurker

Ahhhahh! Guessing you've never heard of "tax loss harvesting". Take the loss now for tax purposes. It will offset other capital gains (or $3k/year of ordinary income). If you love the NIO play long-term, get a sector ETF in that arena tomorrow. If you really want to be in NIO, buy it back in AFTER 30 days (look up "wash sale rule")

Since my post, \- $BABA has gone up 16%, \- $NIO has gone up 6.5%. \- My leaps are up 65% currently (will be more as HSI just bounced off support). $KOSPI is down 11% on the index.

NIO was the best thing and the worst thing that happened to me when I just started investing. Got out with just a little profit after seeing it go to 65 and then blowing back to my costs basis of 25. Glad to see it's doing so well, what the fuck. Great cars though.

grpn and znga. i timed bottom perfectly on znga. sold 300k loss. of course couldve rebought. it went on to 7x. but then i wouldve never met my wife. long story. her net worth is pretty much that 7x. lol. i learned to always watch voo when i trade. the sync ing of stock movement to voo and algos. znga was following qqq when it dove and rebounded. grpn's lesson was always trust your instincts on founders past behaviour with companies. thats why i got out of NIO. that ceo has a long history of diluting shareholders and being vague with the offering money. all tuition paid in full. with two shiny diplomas on the wall.
