You'll be proud to know I went in heavy on VAQC this morning. Stashing some shares for the long term.

Assuming you mean VACQ (Vector Acquisition Corp) - https://www.rocketlabusa.com/investors/

VAQC (Vector Acquisition Corporation II) - Looks like another SPAC by the same company.

Been watching SentinelOne ($S) since its IPO. I'd never heard of them, but a buddy of mine told me they are a legit competitor to Crowdstrike. I'll let y'all know if I start a position in it.

I don't know too much about either, but this dude did a deep comparison last month if you're interested. His area of expertise is Cloud Computing/ SaaS, etc.:

Anybody on RH, who have access to the Pre-IPO pricing?

Im really thinking of grabbing some shares, and dump them off on day one when it shoots up 20% or so..

In ToS you can create a scan to do that. I have one now that triggers an alert and adds the ticker to a watchlist when the 9ema crosses above the 40ema.

Ended up messing with my overall chart settings (set to display the 50/100/200/300 day MA's). This is what prompted the question (trying to do a better job of hitting my index ETFs and long term holds harder if/when they're touch their MA's):

should be queued up to 7:29

Insightful.

He kept says $S reminds him of Crowdstrike a few years ago. Thats a positive. I like the fact that $S allows on-prem. Crowdstrike says that they are CMMC ready ( https://www.crowdstrike.com/blog/how-crowdstrike-falcon-platform-is-positioned-for-cmmc/ ), couldn't find the same claim from SentinelOne. Neither mentioned offering GCC High.

Overall SentinelOne is new and has some growing to do. It's cheap(er), and I see it as a short term play that could morph into a long term one. I may pick up a few if it drops under $35. Until then I'll just keep an eye on them.

Word up, hope it helped a little. I recognize some of the big names in this sector, but it's out of my circle of competence.

The companies in this arena DO seem to be blowing up fast though. You sound like you have a good plan as far as nibbling your way in.

Churchill Capital Corp IV ("Churchill IV" or "CCIV") (NYSE: CCIV), a special purpose acquisition company, and Lucid Motors ("Lucid"), which is setting new standards for sustainable mobility with its advanced luxury EVs, announced today that they will host a live investor call on Thursday, July 22 at 11:30 a.m. ET with Michael Klein , Chairman and CEO of Churchill IV, and Peter Rawlinson , CEO and CTO of Lucid. Mr. Klein and Mr. Rawlinson will discuss the upcoming combination of Lucid and Churchill IV and reiterate the importance of stockholders voting in favor of all proposals related to the combination at its special meeting of stockholders (the "Special Meeting"). Churchill IV has adjourned the Special Meeting until 9:00 a.m., Eastern time , on Friday, July 23, 2021 to allow for more time for stockholders to vote on the last required proposal for the business combination with Lucid.

Is it fair to say this merger has been messy?

Some of my anticipated ERs today (some happened already):

  • $INTC - Since a decent chunk of my portfolio is $AMD (I also hold semiconductor ETFs which hold both $INTC, $AMD, and others), I'm always looking to see how Intel is doing. In particular, the data center numbers:. if it looks good for Intel...could be good or bad for $AMD. if it looks bad, then $AMD should move up. :dunno:
  • $LUV, $ALK & $AAL - I own a small chunk of Southwest. Trying to see if this is a true bounce back for air transportation. They missed on EPS though.
  • $COF, $FITB and banks in general. Is the worst over yet? Are we back?
  • $CLF - made decent money off this one. Trying to find an entry point back into it.

I'm long INTC. Even with all the AMD shenanigans and comeupence, INTC has tons of cash and are the only big boy domestically that I'm aware of that can completely produce their chips in-house, when nec.. Government support will remain high for that point alone.

COF has KILLED it the past year. I got out of banks last summer, but take a look at their chart since then. I was shocked.

So what do you recommend people do to mitigate losses?

They see trouble I see opportunities.

Right. Prepare yourself to buy more of your high conviction companies or indexes if the market wants to stutter.. and reap the rewards when they inevitably recover..

..or maybe, look at some puts NOW if you're into options

..then be prepared to buy calls while the market is down

If $INTC dips under $50, I may be tempted to buy (maybe grab some leaps). They are Chipzilla after all. But it would be a long hold. 2023 is probably when they right the ship on manufacturing process and see the benefits. But competition is stiff: $TSM and ARM. No telling where things will be. Their mobileye tech looks good though.

Also, data center is a huge chunk of their rev. They need Sapphire Rapids to be legit to battle $AMD's Genoa. But the macro picture is that, x86 processors need to win against ARM & RISC-V. That's why I need $INTC to figure this out. A strong $INTC helps $AMD and x86.

INTC def has a battle on it's hands from all angles. Their market share esp in data center is due to shrink at least a little bit in the future with how hard AMD and NVDA are coming on.. As well as the chip transitions (ARM & Risc-V) that you mentioned.

With that said, I feel like a good amount of negative sentiment directed at INTC is/was based on the manufacturing issues from last year... and now everyone thinks the company is run by a bunch of idiots and has nothing going for it. I guess it's the contrarian in me + I'm looking at is as a value play.

- Cash Cow
- PE (FWD) is 12
- Pays a divvy
- New CEO (with an engineering background v. the old dude that was a Finance Guy) trying to right the ship by getting the band back together and exploring all options
- Patents & Government contracts

... I already own $NVDA in my taxable account, so I'm just DCA $INTC as the semiconductor play in my IRA. More value at the current price vs AMD imo.

Yea man.. VACQ..Rocket Lab. Got damn, I rushed over to make sure o_O ..why thee fuck are the tickers so similar?
Watching $ASTR sell off after the ticker change (as every SPAC seems to do), make sure you DCA into $VACQ until you hit your target share goal. The price is bound to head lower. Share price will rise with earnings, contracts and time. So the lower your avg cost the better.

Thanks for the heads up.. I'm just about satisfied with my position for now (92 shares @ $10.37), so def plan on doing exactly what you said going fwd.

Maybe cut myself off once I get to the Chris Sain - 125 share threshold, esp if I can get there while the prices are low and still not spread my deposits too thin (It's in my IRA so I plan on letting those sit and grow for as long as it takes to do so).

Betting on this and pltr to pay off my
Mortgage in 5 years

400 cciv want to get to 500
650 pltr hoping to get to a thousand

Be prepared for the dip after the ticker change. I also heard Lucid is planning on adding a shitload of shares (500 million to 15 billion) - https://sec.report/Document/0001104659-21-085384/

Immediately prior to the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Subscription Agreements and the completion of the Merger, the authorized capital stock of SPAC will consist of 15,010,000,000 shares of capital stock, including (i) 15,000,000,000 shares of SPAC Class A Common Stock

I may be interpreting it wrong, but thats what it looks like. :dunno:
