Are you talking about Luckin Coffee (OTCMKTS: LKNCY)? I see it's up 55% over the last 5 years, which isn't incredible, but I don't see what you're referring to on the stock graph.
I made like from 5x to >10x on LKNCY depending on which specific lot we're talking about. So I'm not against the idea of buying dips on Chinese stocks opportunistically. That said, China isn't a place where outsized GDP gains translates to outsized investor returns. This isn't really the same as the LKNCY situation because the LKNCY accounting scandal largely impacted the US and US investors. Delisting and accounting fraud are big deals in the US but NOT in China. LKNCY got off with a light slap on the wrist. What makes you believe FUTU will be the same and not like BABA which had gotten hammered again and again and again and again for years? Besides that, I'll also say throwing $1000-5000 into LKNCY when it was in the $1-7 dollar range hoping it goes back to $15-20 while risking it goes to $0 is pretty good risk:reward proposition. That was also when all the global central banks were pumping out money during the pandemic era. Sure it's FUTU is -50% from the peak, but why risk it on sketchy FUTU when UNH is also around -50% from peak and MSFT is over -20% from peak? Not saying FUTU can't be a good trade. More like I'd rather watch atm rather than try to catch that falling knife. All the more power to you.
LKNCY bought Blue Bottle Coffee. I am wondering if i should jump in now. Tipranks says it is a strong buy. Analysts are saying $45-50. I think this is a good long term growth stock. Am I right?
I’ll probably FOMO Luckin (LKNCY) like I should have two weeks ago when I was broke 🤓 always the way
LKNCY. Bought 400,000 shares…but I seriously considered buying 2,000,000. Could have retired.
LK was Luckin. Also the "Chinese companies have questionable practices" was nothing new. It was there before and after Luckin. LKNCY was the delisted company that was high risk high reward. It certainly was for me. Got 5-10x on my LKNCY investment.
LKNCY turned out to be the canary. I thought it would bounce back too & was sure BABA was undervalued. Wouldn’t have guessed sentiment would remain China = scam years later.
>What I am complaining about is that **you couldn’t get out when it started going down.** I would have gotten out at -30%, -40% or even -70% but it was halted. I stared at that 100% for 9 months lol… That's the point of the YOLO into junk right? I went into LKNCY expecting I could lose 90% or 100% of the money. That's why I only invested with cash I was willing to lose 100% of at first. If you were in something like ERUS before the invasion, halt, and liquidation then it's more of an issue with poor risk identification/management rather than not understanding proper YOLO risk:reward.
Even if I did I wouldn't tell you. Even if I told you, you probably wouldn't believe it. I didn't even have the balls to buy LKNCY at $1-2 but I did buy $3-5 and then added a bit around $7. I only found out about Luckin after it hit frontpage when that WSB Euro lost his live savings on LK. Did a bunch of research before jumping in thinking a >90% decline for a 10-20% faking of sales is an overreaction, a personal knowledge of China as well as how LK's business was going on over there, an understanding that the CCP won't kill LK for defrauding foreign investors so after the initial punishment it was pretty safe, and that ample global pandemic liquidity pump meant that LKNCY had a shot to rebound at least 50%. Tl;dr Not saying I know. Just saying knowing proper risk-reward as well as a proper idea of the win odds is important even if you're risk adverse.
Scrub move is to buy prior to delisting. If you're going to fearlessly YOLO into junk then at least have the balls to do it into actually de-listed stuff like LKNCY after the scandal rather than LK before.
I got just one LKNCY. NOTHING BETTER THAN COFFEE !none buy LKNCY
I always thought you RYCEY dip buyers were just dumber versions of us LKNCY dip buyers. Turns out we were just earlier to recover and I should have dumped my LKNCY gains into RYCEY. Instead I bought RE, GOOG, and index funds. While I doubted you, I also don't think it's wrong to doubt either. I'm also happy for you guys got your W. You deserve it.
LKNCY. Up about 9X since I entered, looking for 2X-3X over the next five years. But it was a very high risk position to take - not suitable for many portfolios.
Hello fellow coffee lover. I have my largest single equity position in Luckin coffee, LKNCY, mostly because it’s appreciated 300% since I started buying after its fraud settlement. And I just started a position in Bros last week at 49 and 52 a share. Good luck to whichever coffee company you choose.

Remember LKNCY. Went from 1 dollar to 30
Check LKNCY. They went to 1 dollar before being delisted. If you bought at 1 dollar, I bought 15k, you can't sell on some platforms such as degiro but you can move to another one, not sure which to sell or wait until they relist.
SMCI missed filings. Even got deliated once. And missed filings again. So did LKNCY. I bought them for 1 dollar before they were dumped.
China is in a bubble. Margin loans are at a record high. I’m thinking of getting some FXI, MCHI, or ASHR puts tomorrow or early next week. I haven’t seen anyone mention Chinese stocks here forever, but that shit’s always been a house of cards. Looking at you LKNCY
I have just put over a MILLION in LKNCY, after coming back from China, so I highly recommend it, as a long term buy !
LKNCY Luckin coffee is taking New York by storm. Multiple profitable quarters and crazy expansion. High hopes for this.
What a crazy ride today. From being up 10k to barely staying alive in the green. Thank god for RDDT and MSFT. GOOG is down 2.38% due to antitrust decision. Thinking about abandoning LKNCY.
SBUX had a high of $125 and just before the trade-war in April was at $115. Now it hovers around $85. Meanwhile, BROS and LKNCY are soaring. Why is it that SBUX just hovers or fluctuates in-place? Some will say that SBUX is just old, and therefore growth is relatively harder. Okay, there is some reasonableness there, but what about other companies that are also classic and well-established, like Apple or McD or WalMart or CostCo or Dominos, and many others? Those stocks are always rising higher and higher, and yet they are just as old as SBUX. Yet SBUX seems stuck in the mud. And it’s not like coffee demand is down. Like I said, BROS and Luckin are doing great. Granted, they are small and new and therefore have room to grow at relatively fast rates. But putting this altogether, it seems like SBUX should be more comparable to McD, where it just steadily goes up forever. Look at the zoomed out charts of SBUX and McD and those other companies I’ve mentioned.
🪨☕ TL;DR Caveman Say: • BROS & LKNCY = Fast Young Fire • SBUX = Big Old Rock • Big rock still makes good money. But fire dances faster.
Look at LKNCY, an exposed accounting fraud Chinese company. It crashed from $40 to $2.50 in 2020 due to accounting fraud and was delisted. Now it is at $35. Hahaha... $50 for baba if delisting occurs, I doubt it.
[That one Euro WSB regard lost basically everything on Luckin Coffee $LK](https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/reddit-wallstreetbets-trader-lost-life-savings-luckin-coffee-stock-decline-2020-6-1029281054) I did my DD when LK was delisted to LKNCY. Bought in at the $3-5 range and then $6-8 range too. Sold out a few times at $15, $24-25, $30+, and $20-24 range over the years. Probably my best short term trade ever. Markets don't act rationally. Also never say never. UNH over a long period can very well go back up and above $400. More likely than Citi bank going back up to $500 again, but many times companies dip only to go backup to higher highs. All of the Mag7 have had multiple +40% dips. Apple during the 90s, MSFT/AMZN/AAPL after the 00 bubble, Alphabet or Meta whenever they got into trouble, Tesla and NVDA too, etcetc. The only megcap stock that constantly climbs without suffering massive downside is Berkshire because the old Buffet knows the market game.
If ‘Luckin Coffee’ $LKNCY can get back to its ATH’s, any stock can. This is how the real money is made.👇🔋 $TSLA $299 to ($488) +63% $AFRM $46 to ($176) +283% $NVDA $116 to ($153) +32% $SMCI $32 to ($122) +282% https://preview.redd.it/6v9pvzog660f1.png?width=2138&format=png&auto=webp&s=3a122bde08e4cb30dcf601beb9649824916baad7
I did this with LKNCY and made like 25x. Gonna go for it.
Look at LKNCY. Faked their way while growing, got caught, sent right to pink sheet. Now it’s kind of thriving tbh but just staying there to dodge regulations and shit. Plus they don’t really need much more investment anyway
Don't get scared by the other replies. BYDDY is already traded OTC. Plus, stocks that get delisted don't always stay down. LKNCY got delisted for fraud and reached near ATH like 3 years later. And that's a company that got caught red-handed. BYDDY is a solid company.
LKNCY has recovered quite nicely, for those of us who bought after the crash, but I get your point.
BABA all day. LKNCY some days lol
**Sorry, we couldn’t find that ticker LKNCY. Maybe it doesn’t have enough short interest to get ranked by SqueezeFinder, or maybe it’s an IPO.** (Short Interest and other values updated daily – Price, Borrow Fees, Social Rank and Share Availability every 30 minutes) *No ETFs, OTCs or Mega Caps, pls 🙂 If your ticker isn’t found, it may have below 1% Short Interest. Some fields may be blank for tickers outside the Top 50 or so*
Grabbed 400k shares of LKNCY after it crashed. Could have bought two million. Should have bought two million. Maybe next time.
That’s why I’m all in on LKNCY
Not even offended by that. I'll invest in dumb shit like LKNCY after bankruptcy filings, SPACs in the craze, go into triple levered TNA/UPRO/TMF/etcetc, and [sell $500K+ worth of puts.](https://old.reddit.com/r/wallstreetbets/comments/rzasxz/1_year_100_trades_100k_proceeds_and_500k_naked/) But I'm not stupid enough to YOLO into call options. Don't fancy going broke.
It's always a coin flip with these bankruptcy bets. I bet on LKNCY and it turned out fine. Luckily I dodged many others that I looked at like SDC which got delisted to SDCCQ. RADCQ not looking good either. Anyways, more often than not it's death nails and even if there was a last minute M&A it doesn't mean they would just overpay for no reason. IMO Pre-pandemic and pandemic era slush funding made comebacks easier than our higher interest, no bailout, and anti-M&A situation. Things might change with Trump but who knows?
I’ve got 2,600 shares of LKNCY. It’s been a fun ride.
BABA, not necessarily because its the best company but its the most well known and is a good benchmark. plus its on an exchange so you can get options on it. A lot of other good ones are OTC like TCEHY and LKNCY
Sbux really? They’re getting their was kicked by LKNCY in china big time.. thank god I got in at $2.01
I’m up over 100% on LKNCY. But, I had been up around 300%. I see a number of ways Luckin might get back into, or above, that range.
Do you have fun and win trying to catch falling knives? I'm not sure I like it. Maybe it's just my investing style. Had a >10x with LKNCY and some good wins on DAL/TPR, but got BTFO with others like PARA/BABA/OPEN. Nowadays I'm a more strict about what companies I go for since I realize I'm not that great at catching falling knives.
LKNCY may overtake Starbucks globally, albeit not in the US. ARDX just crashed on what may have been a very wise move by the CEO.
LKNCY From $50 to $2 in half a year in 2020, but quickly recovered and stayed at $20-30 in the last few years.
LKNCY. I didn’t say I was smart.
Cotti isn't owned by Luckin. Some of the old ousted Luckin execs (from the accounting fraud saga) opened Cotti. You're not wrong about Cotti being "suicide bomber". I'd say they are waging a price war in hopes of eating market share from Luckin and Starbucks. But who really wins if they keep doing that in a poor economy, credit strict, and deflationary environment? Sure the RATES in China is cheap, but lending has dried up from the banks due to the poor economy, tanking RE, and deflation setting in. I say more likely they die than SBUX or LKNCY.
Says the guy who doesn’t know what “all time” means because LKNCY historically traded in the $40s. Shhhhh, you can stop now.
I used to be big on LKNCY it has such great potential it could be worth 10x what it was pre pandemic worth more than SBX today but I will NEVER reinvest in a company that I lost in due to them defrauding the public. Idc if they turn their self around and become top coffee company in the eastern hemisphere I’m not touching it with a ten foot pole.
Luckin Coffee (LKNCY), due diligence post coming soon
Probably buy more LKNCY until it hits around 25-30B market cap. So $100 a share.
LKNCY up 12%, a succulent Chinese coffee!
Isn’t Luckin one of the same and he’s publicly traded. https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/LKNCY?.tsrc=fin-srch
LKNCY coffee…are you serious?!?
This is key point, the Qs were is massive draw down which was probably the bigger component of the opportunity. Right now, even hated sectors like commercial real estate are still priced as if they are off the bottom. I think the most hated market now is China. I am a BABA bag holder but I’d vote for Luckin coffee LKNCY. It’s been audited numerous times after accounting issues, has path to grow rapidly, and potential catalysts in China rebound AND relisting on NASDAQ
I am holding BABA, LKNCY, PINGAY and YSG.
I’m buying the fuck out of LKNCY
>no way reddit is worth 5bn from ads alone * aliteral monke.jpgs * [a literal delisted accounting fraud Chinese coffee company with 0 earnings running on max growth/expansion in only 1 country that happens to have a collapsing stock markets, a collapsing real estate markets, AND a collapsing population](https://www.google.com/finance/quote/LKNCY:OTCMKTS?sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwi0jdH_woOEAxW_iO4BHYnrBH0Q3ecFegQIMRAX) * [a literal video game retailer that's favored by regards and apes](https://www.google.com/finance/quote/GME:NYSE) Yeah. I think reddit will be ok. Probably should still short it before the 3-6 month mark since the founders, employees, and early investors will dump once the holding period expires.
Full send on BABA and LKNCY
LKNCY is still my most profitable holding 😭
You guys only have BABA? BABA TCHEY and LKNCY here.
LK? I bought a few thousand shares of LKNCY after seeing that news article of the WSB Euro degen who lost his life savings on Luckin. Did the DD while it was in the $1-3 range getting BTFO. In short, the company was delisted, caught up in accounting fraud, and had extra fuel to the fire for being Chinese during Covid-era. Reality though was that it was a new company, on the up, and there was so much cash slushing around that they could probably get by without going bankrupt due to Covid. Also the accounting "fraud" was them over reporting their sales by like 10-15%. Not a crime in China so much as not having any balls. China works by different rules. Fucking over foreign investors or pumping up your numbers is not a death sentence. Posting picture of Pooh bear, saying bad things about the CCP, or being pro-democracy are.
Hey buddy I've been buying BABA shares since IPO and kept buying though the years. Truth is the truth. When I pocket my >8x LKNCY gains, I'm not going to put it into the BATs. China is too fucked ATM. Especially the big names. Even if I had to buy China I'd take something like DIDIY rather than adding more BATs. China isn't the US. They'll fuck up their FAAAMs. The only monopoly allowed is the CCP.
Man brings back the 2020 days spending time talking to other microcap/pennystock/cigbutt bros about stocks. I was telling them that RYCEY was trash and that they should be buying the LKNCY dip. RYCEY is finally up so I'm happy for my RYCEYbros. SDC degens got wiped out. Thinking about getting into DIDIY though.

I have been shot down on WSB repeatedly (see my posts) but I still recommend Luckin Coffee LKNCY for those who want to change their portfolio and their luck around. I’m up nearly 300% and they still haven’t re-listed. Investing in anything has its inherent risk, moreso day-trading and swing-trading but buying into a strong company in the fastest growing market in the world carries with it a lot of certainties. Who knows what the future year or two will bring, my educated guess is that Luckin will be up another 100-150% minimum.
Yeah. I thought during late 2021 that Fed rates would probably peak around 3-4% area in 2024 but here are in 2023 at +5%. I thought there was no way the Fed would hike that much since the US (aka their bosses) would be paying MASSIVE amounts to service our national debt, that some inflation was indeed transitory, didn't foresee multiple wars and re-division of the world trade into pseudo-new cold war blocs, or a number of other things. What I was able to do was stay humble and not go all in on one thing thinking it's surely right. If anything I'm often proven wrong in both good and bad ways. Brazil turning out to be a bad hedge but LMT turning out to be a great one. Buying BABA/Tencent AFTER tech crackdowns only for it to go down more. Slowly drawing selling my LKNCY shares ($4-7 purchase range) as it returned to $20 only to see it keep going up beyond my expectations to the point where $30 and selling more only to see it gofucking silly season $35 even as China's entire economy goes into deflation, real estate sector collapses, Xi installs himself as emperor, tension with all it's neighbors grow, and youth unemployment spikes.
You got lucky with LKNCY -- normally you can't DCA your way out-- only make matters worse. Years ago I lost it all on an AIDS drug IMNR. Have lost it all twice on Delta Airlines. Lost it all about a year ago on a Russian ETF. But over 30 years I have made a lot more than I have lost. There is no way to avoid a disaster if you buy and sell many stocks. DCAing you way out is usually not a good strategy though from my experience.
Luckin is alive is LKNCY on the OTC lol
Bought me some TDW and LKNCY on the dip. Not gay enough yet to buy puts.
LKNCY luckin coffee from 2.74 avg, initial entry was morning the fraud news broke
If you held you’d probably be whole… LKNCY is at $34.50
There is actually a good investment in China. It got delisted for cooking the books which most would run from, but has risen and will be more of a behemoth.. Luckin Coffee. LK/LKNCY
Do you realize what you just revealed about yourself? A judge a book by the cover kind of guy? The type who doesn’t read much beyond a headline? Like I said above — if you read it…which is unlikely — the last time I posted here was over 280 days ago, I was mocked and downvoted. All good and fine. But let’s look at the results: — LKNCY — - 5 Day +7.38% - 1 Month +12.04% - 3 Month +59.13% - YTD +55.95% - 1 Year +92.06%
I would advise you to live up to your namesake and read or watch the links I’ve provided before making uninformed comments. — LKNCY — - 1 Year +92.06% — SBUX — - 1 Year +6.30% — BROS — - 1 Year -25.15%
And while some passed the opportunity by others took a look at the actual situation, invested and have made life-changing money. I last posted here 284 days ago and got downvoted big time. Not a problem. When people start to actually read the links and information I’m providing an enormous opportunity will have passed them by. — LKNCY — 5 Day +7.38% 1 Month +12.04% 3 Month +59.13% YTD +55.95% 1 Year +92.06%
Last time I posted here was 283 days ago. As of yesterday these are Luckin’s numbers. You might say, here comes opportunity knocking again. — LKNCY — - 5 Day +7.38% - 1 Month +12.04% - 3 Month +59.13% - YTD +55.95% - 1 Year +92.06%
Calls on Luckin Coffee (LKNCY)
Volatility in a Chinese stock. While I don't trust the market at all, the Chinese Companies, other than LKNCY, I avoid like the plague ever since I was burned by BABA.
wow i missed out on luckin coffee ($LKNCY)
Yeah Luckin but your information is all wrong. Look up LKNCY
This. What dip? I sold some of my UPRO and LKNCY last month because Tom "Mega Bull" Lee was bearish. Turns out it barely dropped. Bought some SGOV, LYFT, SNAP, and TNA but it never really dropped enough where I thought it was a good time to dump my extra cash pile in.
bruh LKNCY is up like 30x from the 2020 bottom though
Made 100%+ on LKNCY and CVNA, coulda shoulda woulda made 1000%+. Coulda yolo'd liquidated my savings and brokerage account and I'd have been able to retire if I bought it at my average price and sold it at 56. Maybe try and take profits periodically and/or set stop losses. The latter might make you feel more comfortable with letting investments ride.
