The most obvious way to double your money rn is OLPX
my move for tomorrow is to delete the app, and come back next year i basically full ported FUBO and OLPX shares, and am down on my calls, which i expect will expire worthless in february
For sure. ODD always shows up my screener and I've looked into them before, just beauty makes me nervous after seeing what happened to OLPX. However, I am tempted to want to move into the company, just learning more about them. Only thing that sticks out with ODD to me is that the operating margins seems kind of wonky. The revenue growth is solid and the gross margins are pretty stable, but seems like operating is kind of all over the place. Yeah, CODA has been a nice little run.
NCNA KULR And for some weird reason OLPX and BITF
Usually, shares outstanding are total shares owned by insiders + institution + strategic entities + publicly traded shares. Some of the institutions and insiders will not sell stocks in public. It is usually not traded in exchange Whereas floating means, total shares are available for the public or the shares that are traded in exchange. For example OLPX total outstanding shares are 664M and floating shares are just 127 M only. It was a similar case for SPGC also ( my hunch) . Don't know how suddenly the floating share was increased for SPGC
I'm looking at OLPX right now too. I feel they're going to beat earnings, Google Search trends show an increase in traffic from October to December.

My list for today, Hood TGT OLPX DG WIX
OLPX - After Hours +5% I bought to copy Michael Burry's new portfolio last week and its been a dead dog. It just popped after hours and maybe on the start of a run? Monitoring
Burry current portfolio Alibaba $BABA - 25.55% $JD.com - 24.08% Shift4 Payments $FOUR - 16.00% Baidu $BIDU - 15.85% Molina Healthcare $MOH - 12.45% Olaplex $OLPX - 2.83% RealReal $REAL - 1.89% American Coastal Insurance $ACIC - 1.36%
Certainly: Olaplex Holdings, Inc. (OLPX) is currently trading at $2.07, showing a bearish trend with significant downward momentum as indicated by the RSI values below 30, suggesting oversold conditions. The MACD histogram is negative, reinforcing the bearish sentiment. The stock has been consistently closing lower over the past month, with the 10-day SMA ($2.15) and 20-day EMA ($2.19) both above the current price, indicating resistance levels. Given the lack of recent news and the broader market’s cautious optimism, OLPX may continue to face selling pressure. For today’s session, consider entering a short position around $2.05, with a first target of $1.95 and a second target of $1.85, setting a stop loss at $2.15. Confidence in reaching the first target is moderate due to the strong bearish indicators, while the second target carries lower confidence given potential support near $1.90. Keep an eye on broader market movements, as any positive shift could impact this bearish outlook.
Worst pick of the year for me, damn! Only smart thing I did was not chase the dip all the way down. Worst picks the last 2-3 years that I put in a decent amount of money: OLPX, APPS, CELH, CLFD, CVS (anything starting with a C I guess) $APP on the other hand, is killing it for me. Just wish I heard of it before $APPS.
All you're saying makes total sense. Yeah, for me at least, with that screener I have been able to find a bunch of solid companies still. For me was SaaS, is that you pretty much nailed it. I don't find it that interesting to follow the companies and they already trade with really loft valuations. I rather own a really boring company that does a few things across a few sectors, but their business is easy to understand. Like one my favorite longs is $FLEX. Yeah, for me, what really works is coming with a thesis around what should do well do some varies things. Like I've been posting my investment thesis here for a few years, which is to focus on physical grid and upgrades, infrastructure spending due to IRA and Bipartisan bill, reshoring, and general electrification. Recently, I've been buying some aerospace and companies that deal with naval ship building, because the US is going to need to build a ton more ships. It's also something not a lot of people follow or talk about. Like the electriication trade is starting to feel crowded. I mean, I also alter my screener from time to time, where I try to get more companies. It's helpful to get more to search, but again, I prefer to have a smaller list. Like I love researching companies and I post ones that I always find interesting. I've suggested some terrible ones, like $OLPX and $CLFD when it was it's peak, but I was one of the first ones to suggest $SMCI here. Overall my approach has lead to to 83% return on the 1Y and and 140% on the 5Y.
Yeah, I just remember the news around Germany closing down their nuclear plants and burning more coal and seeing charts of how China still burns a ton. Just I don't really like miners or commodities as much, that's even why I always talk about WIRE being my copper play. Don't get me wrong, I've always suggested like CLFD and OLPX, which AP also bought and both have done pretty bad. I created that post around things I've learned along the years and learning that you will pick some losers is one of them. With CLFD, I was really bullish on the idea of rural broadband, but since has got out of that thesis/theory. Literally for like 3 years or so since I've been posting here, I still stand by the idea of going long on physical data centers, electrification, and companies that will do well with IRA/Infrastructure money and some HVAC. Even with us, I think one of the first times we ever interacted was talking about STRL. https://www.reddit.com/r/stocks/comments/11d8n9b/comment/ja8lmzs/?utm\_source=share&utm\_medium=web2x&context=3
Yeah, I bought back in like 2022, when it was hitting 120's. My thesis since then is still basically the same, the only difference is that I moved away from rural broadband and into HVAC. Basically been saying for years, investments going into factory spending for reshoring, infrastructure, and ira money is a great place to be. Plus physical data center, electrification and hvac. They are all kind of related and have overlap. I've posted some bad names too, like $CLFD and $OLPX, but I think I was one of the first people in the daily to talk about $SMCI back when in was in the 90s. I really love to research and find out about new companies, so I'm constantly just researching and screening. Like I've talked about $CLMB a few times, but what a great company. It's wild too, like no one talks about them or really follow them lol. They have insane stock performance and the fundamentals are never really crazy by any means. It's how I play cyber security. Here's their investor slide deck: [https://d1io3yog0oux5.cloudfront.net/\_1e25916bf0fe37c57187374bf1f8fd3c/waysidetechnology/db/849/7994/pdf/CLMB+Investor+Presentation+December+2023+-+FINAL.pdf](https://d1io3yog0oux5.cloudfront.net/_1e25916bf0fe37c57187374bf1f8fd3c/waysidetechnology/db/849/7994/pdf/CLMB+Investor+Presentation+December+2023+-+FINAL.pdf) Also really happy with my purchase of $LRN right now. I don't know much about the education space, but the stock is really cheap, but actually growing a ton. Like increasing net margins, revenue and cash. [https://www.tradingview.com/symbols/NYSE-LRN/financials-overview/](https://www.tradingview.com/symbols/NYSE-LRN/financials-overview/) Might take some time for the market to catch up, but I'm happy to hold it for now.
I posted a few weeks ago or maybe a bit longer, but what really helped me out was learning to use a screener. Like that how I find most my investments now. I feel bad because I’ve suggested some bad companies as well, CLFD and OLPX, but that’s also another lesson I’ve learned along the way, you can’t find all winners. Also noticed they have ATKR and HUBG in there as well.
I bought AMC and OLPX last year. I wish I was ded.
CVS having a strong 10% move in just a few days. Guess the worst is over from here? PYPL too showing signs of bottoming. Meanwhile AMR is just going up vertically. Just about to crack +100% on my holdings. I bought a share in October just because Puts said he did and even that one is up 30%. Nearing a selling point, give or take another 30-50% appreciation. I'm very curious what the technical chartists here would be more bullish about if they had to pick: the coal stock mooning to ATH or the devastated large caps recovering from rock bottom. Anyone here catch the OLPX trough? It's up 90% since early November lol. I sold out at a much higher cost basis (still at a hefty loss) earlier this year and have no regrets nor plans to re-enter.
OLPX it's the only hair products I've used for the past 3 years. I noticed it was taking for 1 dollar in October and it seemed like a value play. I'm up 70% in a month and a half.
What's going on with OLPX?
Decent gains last week on OLPX and NEGG calls. More of it next week, and I'm looking at TPIC, too.
Thinking back to how I took a hefty loss on OLPX (a small speculative buy I made) as demand cratered at $4.12. Felt bad at the time, but today the stock is $1.45. A great lesson to sell a loser when a thesis breaks. Should have taken that advice a few times in other stocks. Though glad I didn't give up on META. It does make me nervous about Crox though, just because it's also a consumer cyclical and a retail oriented product. But I at least have better visibility into Crox given its longer history as a public company. I'm always wary of setting stop losses because when I buy companies I want to hold them for 1-3 years minimum. But if the stock falls 50% chances are it will keep falling and it was for a good reason.
Olaplex ($OLPX)- dropped 50% about a week after I bought it. It’s the only stock in my portfolio that I’m not sure I’ll ever make my money back on.
I’ve also had some misses too. I won’t say everything I’ve suggested is solid, but I try to be as transparent as possible when recommending things CLFD and OLPX were my worst suggestions. Also, always do your own DD for before buying anything.
I gotta say, so far I've been happy with nearly every single sale I ever made, even on the biggest losses ones I had little conviction on. Happy I sold out of Apple at/near ATH, INTC in the high $30s a while back, DIS around $90, UFPI at $102 (it went on to rise to $106 today, to be fair), OLPX/APPS at enormous relative losses. It's psychologically freeing, lets me concentrate in higher conviction plays or simply diversify by moving that back into an index, and lets me come back in later for lower (if I want).
I wonder why OLPX is up over 7% while everything else gets mollywhopped
Is OLPX getting too beat up? Good cash flow, low SBC. It’s at all time lows trading at a 9 PE, although net sales are declining. Margins are normalizing but still look good. The market hates this one.
Trying to invest into stocks that sell to women, Olaplex (OLPX) and Aritzia (ATZAF) has been a fail. Only saving grace was buying the dip on ULTA.
Missed the whole trading day, I guess life will go on. > The GDPNow model estimate for real GDP growth (seasonally adjusted annual rate) in the third quarter of 2023 is 4.1 percent on August 8, up from 3.9 percent on August 1 Okay show of hands, does anyone here *actually* think we get 4.1% real growth (annualized) in Q3 (we're about halfway through that)? I'll put down my guess, we'll record 2.5% real growth again. --- Looks like commodities, like the broader market, were initially wrecked but closed quite nicely in the green. While I was rushing to a meeting I got a Yahoo Finance notification of -18% in OLPX, and a feeling of dread and disappointment started to kick in. It was only half an hour later that I realized I had sold out of this garbage stock more than a month ago.
Gonna play $SWKS, $OLPX
Exited two (quite small, say in total about $700) positions I had lost conviction in the last year or two: DIS and OLPX. I had first bought DIS back in late 2021, but over time the thesis just grew weaker in my eyes: streaming as a business is meh, politics was getting involved, I personally have no interest in media, and I really have no clue how to value their IP. OLPX on the other hand just saw business evaporate which, for a small cap that recently IPOed, is unsurprising. Not going to stick around waiting for that to fix itself. Instead, I decided to open a small starter position in CVS (as I'm very underweight healthcare), and otherwise just have a simpler portfolio. I think the higher debt is a bit exaggerated by including leases and the valuation is just very attractive. I'll say more in future days. If it was just retail like Walgreens I'd be very wary of adding, but the diversification is a major strength. The other stock I wish to eventually exit but am just holding on is TGT. Low margin, poor recent management of inventory compared to the other retail stores. Valuation is probably great here though. [And no, this decision has nothing to do with wokeness or whatever]
I'm doing too well this week, so to keep myself humble, here is the relative and absolute loss for every single stock I own that is more than 5% in the red. - APPS: -72% (-$800) - OLPX: -58% (-$238) - RKLB: -49% (-$325) - DIS: -38% (-$328) - TGT: -36% (-$311) - CLFD: -16% (-$182) - BTU: -7.54% (-$160) - CF: -7.49% (-$63) (I have quite a few stocks/ETFs, about 30, and generally only invest between $500 to $2500 in an individual stock. That number will increase as my portfolio size increases.) Still have strong conviction in CLFD/BTU/CF. I will hold onto RKLB for the memes. Lost conviction on OLPX. Plan to exit DIS/TGT but not in a rush. APPS I'm in the 'wait and see' camp.
APPS (constant guidance misses/cuts), OLPX (turns out business is pretty dead), TGT (I no longer want retail stores in my portfolio besides LOW).
I’m holding OLPX @ 3.74 average. I’m thinking it may be a buyout candidate. Willing to roll the dice and see what happens.
I just realized NET has gone up 70% since May 4th... This was one of the first stocks I bought and also one of my worst purchases, and I never got around to exiting it. I'm like 62% down. Here are the stocks I eventually want to eliminate but can't figure out when to sell. They aren't just my worst losses, but rather stocks I have minimal conviction in: - OLPX - DIS - NET - TGT I could just take the hit and certainly I have other names I think are on discounts and am much more bullish on, but then another part of me says, "It could recover at least a little and you could sell for a better amount later." Plus to avoid concentration risk I might end up moving those funds into indices, but do I think there is more upside from today's devastated prices in these names or in the broader index...?
Once you did the original research, there really isn't much to do except buy/DCA and just wait? Occasionally you will receive an update that the thesis is plain wrong (like happened to me with OLPX), or is broken for the next 2 quarters but intact next year (CLFD). But for an example like AMR, I have done my research into the longer term supply outlook for metallurgical coal, and even if price action is highly bearish today, the fundamentals of this company and the met coal market are such that I'm willing to load up and just wait a year or two to reap the rewards.
I got burned with this argument with OLPX. As I [wrote in my pitch](https://www.reddit.com/r/stocks/comments/y0842s/olaplex_there_may_be_a_recession_but_dont_let_it/), "Olaplex: There may be a recession, but don't let it happen to your hair too." Turns out we didn't even need to have the recession.
LOL that was totally me, OLPX was my worst trade. But I only threw in a couple hundred bucks because it was extremely risky
Yeah but it's a specialty retailer. I've seen it time and time again, this industry is unreliable. Their financials can look good but then they just crack. There's another specialty retailer that was mentioned on stocks - OLPX. The person investing was bullish because of their financials, solid growth history - then suddenly in the last two quarters their revenues declined massively. Their share price cratered as it wasn't cheap anymore. You can search specialty retailers to look at other companies on the market - they're all trading at these low PE because it's the nature of their business. If you look at WSM's recent quarter - their revenues went down. What I've learnt from investing is that it is worth it to pay for the high quality companies because they reliably deliver even if they're trading at 30 PE+ rather than chasing companies based on valuation.
OLPX going to pump. Way oversold
OLPX has been beat to sh*t, but I think it has a future once people are ready to treat themselves again.
OLPX is hurting me. They had such a good case to make a turnaround if management would stop saying stupid sh\*t
I haven't been in stocks that long, so the gains are limited. But XOM +41% (bought it the day of the Russian invasion and added gradually), not including dividends. Second place is SBUX at +27% and META +25%. Worst: Rocketlab, Cloudflare, APPS, OLPX (all between -55% and -70%). Only APPS is an actually sizeable loss for me.
Fast growing: OLPX and ELF
OLPX (-53%), APPS (-68%), NET (-69%), RKLB (-66%). I only threw a couple hundred bucks into each of these, but APPS nearly $1K. I think I had the most conviction on OLPX/APPS but they just went sour right after I bought into it. NET/RKLB were meme picks. Not so bad but: DIS -35%, CLFD -32%. Have high conviction in CLFD. DIS I'm going to get rid of whenever it trades up again as I don't really care to own media stocks anymore.
You're asking for advice while only giving partial details. If you're down that much, OLPX and INNV must be a very large part of your portfolio. since XOM APPL have not done that poorly over the short period of time. We still have no idea what "fashion and real estate" stocks are, so we can only go off the info you posted. There is either a serious unbalance in the portfolio weighting, or the other stocks you hold not mentioned are also low-quality. I'll give you two paths: 1. Sell the penny stocks and just go full yolo wsb-style on options. You'll get rich or go broke, but at least it will be spectacular. 2. Realize you're investing in some extremely risky stocks that have tanked your portfolio and you don't know why. Sell everything and buy VOO.
So, as of late, PHX has been suffering, was doing great for me for a bit, but I lost a lot on OLPX, and INNV due to nonsense (before the big loss,) my other stocks have pretty much done okay, XoM, AAPL, but then I have a few others that also screwed me. Like IPO was doing fine, then just dropped off, OLPX, my ex told me was one of those “Wall Street bet stocks,” fucked me. I’m interested in AABB, because of my reasons, but everything I have is just getting crushed. I have over 20 stocks in my portfolio, these are recent, but almost all are down since January.
Are you still holding OLPX? What did you think of the guidance? Are you buying at these levels?
Olaplex (OLPX) probably the only degen play I am still bullish on.
Yeah, honestly the way I invest is I start with a macro idea of what I think will work or what will happen. Then I start to screen for companies in that industry and find the leaders or the ones with pontential growth. I like certain times of things, like high ROC, gross margins, etc. I start reading earnings calls. Then I have some dumb rules that I follow, like the company needs to have performed the SPY over the 5Y mark. Don't get me wrong, I make bad calls too. Like I was talking about OLPX and I know that one user, AP127938123 whatever the numbers are lol, probably was convinced to buy them from me or at least influenced. You can't pick all winners all the time, but I'm extremely happy with were my money is invested now.
For me it depends on conviction and valuation. For example, I bought NET at $70, watched it go to $220, sold it on the way down at $150 and now it’s $58. OLPX I will keep no matter what though, I loaded up more at $4.50. But generally that’s not a bad principle, INTC was a good dumpster fire to exit.
Whenever one of my stocks goes down real bad I almost never sell, I just do absolutely nothing. Maybe that's not what I'm supposed to do. I bought OLPX and it tanked 50% and now I'm only down some 20%. I bought DIS and it tanked like hell and now I'll be down some 18%. META I was down 40% at the worst and now I'm up 10%. Today APPS is falling 18% AH but again I'm just going to ignore that part of my portfolio. Exception: I sold INTC entirely in the high 30s after the one of their terrible earning reports.
OLPX, PSCE, APPS, RKLB are the only tickers I got under $40. PSCE is small cap energy and the largest position I have of these 4.
My goal for this next bull market and not get caught up in my gains and think it's due to skill primarily. Thinking I'm a genius because I hit the jackpot here and there is going to lead me to chasing hype and losing money. I'll try to stick to high quality companies (less OLPX or APPS).
Nothing immediate, but there are some longer-term sells I plan to do (after the market bounces back): - DIS. I don't really like the streaming/entertainment business and I don't really understand it either. I don't think leadership change is going to solve everything, as much of the criticism aimed at Chapek could really also be aimed at Iger (as if Iger would have not waded into the political controversy either). Nelson Peltz's critique was pretty harsh (rightfully so). Currently I am underwater 24% and will not sell now. - TGT (Growing neutral about the company, have higher conviction elsewhere and in higher margin businesses). Down 20%. - OLPX/APPS (speculative trades). Down 32% and 52%, respectively. They can go zooming up and down that much quite regularly. - AMD (just trimming a little! When it next bounces back it will be far too large a portion of my portfolio so I'll reduce its size) Down 32%. I also have several tickers in the green, but I'd rather just hold than take profits. For example, SBUX (up 27%) but very bullish about China. MA/V may be getting a bit irrationally bid up but they are also some of the strongest businesses out there. (I already had trimmed MA a month or two back for a profit) XOM I'm up 44% but I'll just collect dividends and await more buybacks/dividends announcements.
I love everything about OLPX, but when I found out it was owned by private equity who, when the company IPO’d, distributed basically all of the proceeds back to their company to basically ‘free roll’ on Olaplex, I immediately lost all conviction.
You asked what my riskiest stocks are, but I don't know if I have the most conviction in them necessarily. I'm holding on to them because their speculative picks I'm curious to see where they go. ## OLPX (Risky and medium conviction) They were on a really strong growth trajectory and the shares were trading down some 60%. I bought in, then the stock tanked 40% in one day because they admitted macro pressures were bad. It continued to fall, but recently has risen some 50% since so I'm only underwater 34% on my purchase. But now that the macro picture appears to be improving, I guess things can change. [Here was my DD](https://www.reddit.com/r/stocks/comments/y0842s/olaplex_there_may_be_a_recession_but_dont_let_it/) on October 10th before it tanked if you'd like to make fun of it. Below are some updated figures (honestly it has cheapened quite rapidly and may even be a decent deal). - Valuation: 14 GAAP PE trailing and 15 PE forward. EV/EBIDTA is 9. - Net income growth was 36% y.o.y. in Q1 and 77% y.o.y. in Q2 of this year, and 8% in Q3 - Revenue growth was 58% y.o.y. in Q1 and 38% y.o.y. in Q2 and 9% in Q3 - Balance Sheet: It's cash position is around 250M, compared to total long term debt of 655M. - Cashflow: It's FCF positive, 71.9M, 56.08M, 53.73M last three quarters. Annual cash flows in 2019, 2020, and 2021 where: 52.56M, 128.95M, and 199.15M. We're already at 180M for 2022, with one quarter left to go. - The company is still small, with a market cap of 3.8B (it was closer to 18B earlier this year). My one paragraph qualitative bull case: > Visit Amazon, Ulta, or Sephora websites, and look at their hair/shampoo sections and note what the top brands are. [For Amazon you might have to explicitly go to shampoo, but hair should suffice for the latter two]. This company's products are wildly popular on TikTok and in hair salons (apparently). They saw some 3B views in their recent TikTok campaign. ## BTU (Risky and high conviction) Already put my DD in various threads, so I'll link to some of them. [Link 1](https://www.reddit.com/r/stocks/comments/10e91et/rstocks_daily_discussion_technicals_tuesday_jan/j4s69ko/), [Link 2](https://www.reddit.com/r/stocks/comments/10hob4u/rstocks_weekend_discussion_saturday_jan_21_2023/j5h4ha7/), [Link 3](https://www.reddit.com/r/ValueInvesting/comments/10ki38p/which_company_are_you_most_confident_about/j5rdta5/). The TL;DR is that there is potentially a massive catalyst of this company being able to return money to shareholders. It holds an immense amount of cash relative to debt and its market cap. [We're talking 12 dollars per share in cash on a 27 dollar price per share] It's locked in some very very good thermal coal pricing for 2023 relative to past prices that were much much lower than its peers. It's benefiting from China/India tailwinds. Met coal prices are holding up strong. I'm -4% on this position. I also hold AMR (see same threads for the bull case) and am up 11%. Both AMR and BTU are strong plays, but BTU is both riskier and has *way* more upside. ## APPS (Risky and low conviction) Too lazy to write up my DD, but I'll give a brief summary. They are an ad-tech company that puts the bloatware on your phone and a few other niche products (yuck, I know). They are and have been profitable for the last 3 years. GAAP PE ratio of 25 FWD, Non-GAAP of 11. Its peers PUBM and TTD are significantly more expensive. "On a PS ratio basis, the company is currently trading at 2.25x which is near the low end of its 10-year average." Last few years of net income: (19.7M), (4.3M), 14.28M, 54.88M, 35.55M (the last one in 2022 so far). The worst part about this company is the debt. It recently did some acquisitions to increase its sources of revenue because initially it was only earning money on the first few days of a phone purchase (on the initially loaded apps). It's moat is that "Ignite is installed in over 600 million devices worldwide and the company announced that Ignite will soon be installed in every Samsung device." I'm down 54% on this holding.
Absolutely. It's way more complicated than I'm making it sound. - First, the Excel spreadsheet it exports is a total mess. I need to get the part that has the transaction history. - Oh it only goes back this far, so concatenate old backups of the Excel files - Every dividend/reinvestment is duplicated, but not all the time! Sometimes only a dividend is recorded. When do you need to handle this? How to distinguish between money market dividends and regular dividends? - You want to compare to SPY or QQQ? Great. What about dividends reinvested? Where can I find the total return for VT? (For SPY, I can at least use some total return indices available on Yahoo Finance) - You got a dividend from this company you sold, do you include it or not given that it went straight to money market? - Oh no, there are holidays! When filling in the data between transaction dates, you need to not fill in holiday dates or weekends. - Guess what, FB changed its ticker to META. Make sure that you correct for this. - Uh oh, how does Vanguard handle stock splits?? - OLPX just IPOed recently, you're getting some bugs/missing data now To summarize, wtf Vanguard, just hire me already and let me make life easier for everyone
I had become bullish on OLPX after it traded down some 60% YTD; [here was my DD](https://www.reddit.com/r/stocks/comments/y0842s/olaplex_there_may_be_a_recession_but_dont_let_it/). It was growing quite fast at the time. Then the executives dropped a bombshell and said they anticipated worse macro pressures than expected and the stock immediately dropped some 56% right after I bought it. Now it's traded up some 40% so I'm only down 32%. I'm not sure whether to remain bullish or not but this has been a fun stock to hold.
Olaplex hair products! OLPX - makes great products. Sephora has good products. Elf has a cheaper make up product line that more ppl may due during a down market.

I'm down 3-4% and it's cause I put a large majority of my cash in beaten down stocks (OLPX among others)
Just got my paycheck but of my positions, my favorite ones are mostly the ones that are doing really well. (I'm up 20% on SBUX, at this rate it will surpass my XOM gains) So do I average up on the best companies or average down on the okay to decent ones? I definitely don't want to throw money into VTI now. So my other option is ex-US ETFs, which is safer. Also it's pretty interesting that I'm about as down in one of my worst picks (initially), OLPX, which tanked 50% right after I bought it, as I am for AMD/DIS/META.
OLPX! lets go! 💎🚀🚀💵💵
OLPX is getting interesting On report today, in this bear market, big hedgefounds investors took back their blancs from 20 to 18 % up 4,15 today.. Down total 83 %, P/E 11.78 on a company thata just in the beginning of their saga.
This week's buys so far: Monday: PSCE (2 shares; small cap oil), GOOG (1), AVUV (1; small cap value US), AVDV (1; small cap value ex-US), VTI ($100), VXUS ($150) Tuesday: GOOG (1), OLPX (1), AVDV (1) Today: AVUV (1), AVDV (1), PSCE (2), OLPX (1), VTI ($100) I think the broader markets can go a bit lower, but I'm quite content with the valuations of my small cap value ETFs, bullish on oil, and Google is cheap in my opinion. Olaplex was just because I had a few bucks sitting around in my settlement fund I wanted to make disappear.
Olaplex $OLPX acquisition target 🚀🚀🚀
OLPX olaplex baby gonna be bought out by private equity 🚀🚀🚀
Bruh I just invested in a small cap 2 weeks ago (OLPX) and lost 50% in one day this week. I'm *not* the guru lmao. I've been researching a lot of what /u/_hiddenscout buys (UFPI, WIRE, ATKR, MLI) for example. I also look lots of different energy picks but they are not long-term holds, more like medium term holds. I own them through the ETF PSCE. So I'm afraid I really don't have any particular other examples, and I definitely don't have the confidence to recommend them very highly.
Read the text but didn’t see any actual analysis of the OLPX situation, causes, prospects etc.

There’s a Barron’s article talking about what to do if you took their advice on OLPX and promptly lost 54% in a week. That’s when I knew that temp too was over and went short
Ahhh, so catching the knife on OLPX was not the move - got it.
That OLPX drop wow. That guy ways on point. 👀
For example, an OLPX 12/16/2022 C @ 5.00 contract is currently at 0.78 (stock price at the moment is 4.81 after today's -50.77% crash). Any hopes on this being a decent bet in the timeframe?
Did we talk about the play on OLPX?
OLPX: the toxic ingredient "lilial" was removed in March. This is old news imho.
