Thanks for the suggested stock.
Sure no problem.
Thanks for sharing your thought process and investing approach, It's always great to learn how other people approach investing.
Not sure if it is a good idea but my first purchase for something speculative like this is usually very small. In this case less the .2% of my portfolio. I add it to a monitor that I keep. I add it to the ihub names I follow. In this case it would seem like not much of an ihub following. My son was in a robotics club in High School and is now an electrical engineering student in college. He got a 3D printer for Christmas and is a bona fide nerd. He had not heard of DM but had heard of the fiber blend concept. He was keen on that for sure.
Buying small at first means they are on my radar. It doesn't get filed away and forgotten only to have me visit it a year and +100% later. I like the move projected for revenue and the concept is intriguing. As I learn more or opportunity allows, I might add more. It has worked ok so far but that is pretty easy when everything is going up.
If it is ok with you UK, maybe further stuff on DM should be on that board. I know that the moderators have enough trouble keeping us in line as it is. We can be on topic over there. Thanks again.
I must admit the carbon fibre printing is something I'd not seem before.
I'm slightly jealous that you've made a buy decision that quickly! It takes me weeks if not longer to get over mental reservations even after I've convinced myself that a stock is viable!
The whole carbon fiber and layering in a cross hatch pattern sounds like great ways to get to strong and light. It would seem they are selling the material as well. I think I saw over $3,500 a cubic yard (only in America is it not cubic meter, come on America, METRIC SYSTEM). I was a teenager and pretty stoned but I seem to remember somethin called plasteel in the Dune books by Frank Herbert. As I recall, it was a weave of plastic and steel that might even have been manufactured in layers like a 3D printer. Super light, super strong. Totally fantasy back then.
Projections for revenue look pretty good. I am seeing projections of $71.9 million in 2021 and $157.8 million in 2022. The analysts have been way off in the past so could be way off. Either way, I bought a tiny bit on the promise of the materials used. This is another one that could be way over its skis. It's up over 35% YTD and 130% from last year. That seems to be a pattern for ARK stocks. Thanks for the heads up.
Yes, it's funny once I'd heard of them for the first time they kept popping up all over the place including that they were in the ARK ETF!
Apparently I do own them as part of PRNT, a 3D printing ETF. PRNT owns about 4% DM. Thanks for calling them out.
Definitely not a smart people but just looking at the chart, I wish I had been. I never heard of it until today. Thanks for the heads up.
Slightly off topic - is anyone into Desktop Metal (DM)?
I ran across them while looking at SLM again and was wondering if anyone had thoughts? They're similar to ARCAM who I'd invested in a few years back before they were bought out by GE.
Just curious to see if the smart people invested in MTLS think they're an attractive option in the metal AM space.
You as well. Plenty to go around.
MTLS I like your thinking.

Can we just repost this into the foreseeable future?

"Nothing is so firmly believed as that which we least know."
Michel De Montaigne
Timely old quote.
So far so good. Just sad and sick at what we are seeing. Our country is broken. So many absolute truths that we have apparently been taking for granted are being desecrated. I knew they were out there just heartsick to see it happening. The sooner Trump is gone the better. Easily the worst president in American history.
Agreed that more of what we are seeing is on the way. I'm not sure more bloodshed is avoidable at this point. I heard some countries including Canada have offered military assistance. Good to know friends are friends.
As you know, I live in the capital of my state so will have armed protestors standing on the capital lawn.
Just sad and shameful all around.
Thank you (I think?)
My plan was going so well, in my non-taxable acct I realised 2 gains $16 to $40 then $32 to $60. And was patiently waiting for a small dip to $45 (I’m not greedy) and hesitated when it dropped to $52 but didn’t pull the trigger.
Now I’m thinking of getting out of my taxable holding and doubling down on my timing*** strategy.
*** something I swore I’d never do when I lost my shirt on some random stocks in the dot.com bubble. Not quite pets.com but not far off!!!
I half heartedly hope that works out for you.
I want to sell so I can buy back at a more sensible price. What’s wrong with me, doc
Is this the new norm? +10% every day.
Nice!

I had no clue as to the true potential here at my original entry.
Jumped on sector related hype.
Sometimes ignorance is truly bliss.
GL!
Up 513% for me as of today. I wish I had a few more of those.
Right back at ya!
Looking forward to stability in 2021

In many ways. Wishing you a happy and prosperous New Year.

Stay safe and GLTU/A!
I have no clue but I like it!
Here is one upgrade I found;

GL!
But they have held it for a while? Hmm, I guess it will have to do as an answer.
Happy Holidays Dad. Hope you and yours are doing well.
Might be because it is a holding of ARKK. They are a mover and shaker.
This is crazy! Any idea what’s going on?
If I knew, I’d be on my private yacht enjoying my wealth right now . Instead of stuck at my home office working and trying to eke out 8% returns on my portfolio!
Same thought here...What to do
I’m generally a buy and hold person but I cashed in (in a non-taxable account) once this had 3x in little over a year. I also doubled down by selling out of some under performers and put it all back on MTLS when it dropped to $32.
My main concern is the general feeling of a huge stock market bubble.
MTLS—-A true thing of beauty!—GLTA
I am in since....the start of MTLS. This will go up and down. But I will not sell within the next 3 years. This is my pension plan haha
