Do some googling - you’ll find tens of thousands of brilliant advisors willing to help you along. It is incredible how many amazons and googles are in plain sight, ignored and just waiting to be snapped up. The general public is simply too ignorant to recognize the potential. Fish in a barrel, etc. Please share - anxious for tips!

Why wouldn't they?  Once you've bought a stock, the more people who buy it, the more you make.   That being said, I've heard VTSAX is what you need to buy!  Or just buy anything.. I guess that means I own them all.

I listened to the impossible burger podcast too on freakanomics. The early investors prob are going make a fortune once it goes public.

Their competition already has: BYND.

I just listed to the planet money podcast about helium :

https://www.npr.org/2019/08/16/751845378/episode-933-find-the-helium

That company building a helium collection business seems promising. Probably won't be that much competition at first and there will be huge demand once the government gets rid of it's supply of helium. The price is already going up a lot and the government is still supplying the market but is due to stop in 2021. It'd probably be like an oil drilling company, it could become extremely profitable if the price of helium went up a lot.

That was such a random but interesting episode.

Love planet money. Radiolab is pretty good but gotta listen to it on 2x speed so it doesn't take the whole hour.

I'm buying a little BrewDog. It will be fun to see if they go public with some profit (and the education--never been involved with an IPO) or if I would have better spent the money on (just) their beer.

I bought 250 shares of LUNA in taxable. Micro cap that has balanced books and in a high growth industry. Is up about 140% in 6 months. Wish I had bought more!

Saudi Aramco. I'm utterly fascinated with their upcoming IPO. Heck no I'm not buying, but ************************ fascinated...

Check out Equity Zen if you want access to shares of private companies during their late stage, whatever that means.

there have been quite a few companies from there that have hit it big after IPO, but of course there have also been a few duds.

I suckered for a couple hot stock tips from the doctors lounge when I was just out of residency (many years ago sadly). I lost all my funds in both investments. One was a Cuban gold mine penny stock (I know, idiot!). The other really sounded great, it was a company called Biopure which was going to get FDA approval for a blood product for transfusions made from cow blood. They were extracting the heme and it was going to be the universal donor solution. It was already on the market in use for veterinarians. It was going to revolutionize medicine. Nope.

I'm not sure what percentage of wci readers go to a costco on a regular basis, but the ones that I go to are always packed. It's getting to be like going to Disney or something where my wife and I don't even like to go at times other then lining up and going into them when they first open on the weekends because they are too crowded otherwise. They even seem busy during the weekdays these days. I think that their business model is pretty protected from an online service like amazon because it will always be cheaper to ship these large packages to a warehouse vs to individual homes. Now they are even busier selling bulks of toilet paper and other other essentials to people afraid of the virus. The odd part is down over the past month. Anyways, if I was trading in individual stocks, I think that I would look into purchasing some costco stocks.

COST div yield is 0.86% on a $302 stock. Div rate is $2.60. So "fair value" it's a $52 stock. Summary there are a lot of good stocks out there that I will never own. I am following BYND but doesn't pay dividend. I would buy some @ $25.

why would you care about the dividend yield?

I just purchased the new Star Wars movie to stream and watched it. It would have been better if just one director directed the last three movies as the story was a bit disjointed but I do think that they have a lot of room to grow the Star Wars universe now that they are done with the original series. I think that Disney maybe a good stock to buy now. It is currently down some 30% with this coronovirus business, making it's PE ratio an attractive 17.25 and it has a dividend of almost 2%. Obviously once this virus business is over with, there will be a lot of pent up demand to visit their parks and watch the new movies that they are delaying releasing.
