"Nvidia forecast beat estimates across the board as China sales slow 'significantly'
"Nvidia (NVDA) reported its fourth quarter earnings after the bell on Wednesday, beating analysts' expectations on the top and bottom lines.
For the quarter, Nvidia reported adjusted earnings per share (EPS) of $5.16 on revenue of $22.1 billion. Analysts were expecting EPS of $4.60 on revenue of $20.4 billion. That's a massive jump from the same period last quarter when Nvidia reported EPS of $0.88 on $6.1 billion a year ago. To put a finer point on Nvidia's performance, the company reported $27 billion in revenue for all of 2022.
The company also guided higher than analysts' expectations for the first quarter, saying it anticipates revenue of $24 billion, plus or minus 2%. Wall Street was expecting $21.9 billion for the quarter."

There's no English word "Mio"
"below 100 Mio"
"below 100 Mio." You might do better pumping in English. So damn easy to spot the shills with these two little stocks. .
LWLG's a Perpetual Startup. Has been for years. Come back next month; next year or next decade. Success will be just around the corner. Meanwhile Insiders are getting compensated very well.
You must be looking at the Brussels stock exchange.
Much of the market is at all-time_high. It's only unlisted microcaps and small caps that are lagging. My large cap blue chips are soaring and rising their dividends.. again! LWLG is rubbish!
Buffett wouldn't get within a mile of this obviously shilled rubbish. The two boards are comical. NB and LWLG
"More Belgians" Hilarious and accurate.
Her posts are pleasant, Very pleasant. That's the first the giveaway that it's fake. I'll contact the mods when I get time and have her booted.
"I hear that posting activity on I-Hub has been on the decline." Yes, in huge decline on the main stock boards.
"Tumbling US natural gas prices prove unstoppable, hurting producers"
"BRIDGEPORT, Texas, Feb 21 (Reuters) - For nearly a year, U.S. natural gas producers have slammed the brakes on production as prices fall. But relentless output gains including from oil companies that pump gas as an oil byproduct have unleashed record supplies.
In the oil versus gas contest, gas producers are losing out. Some are shutting in wells, canceling projects or selling themselves to rivals to avoid losses. Natural gas prices this month fell to an inflation-adjusted 30-year low of $1.59 per thousand cubic feet, benefiting consumers of the fuel like utilities, but hurting producers who are selling at nominal prices as low as they were in the depths of the COVID-19 downturn.

GFP: Two things about "CEO" Litoria who just posted. Her overly wordy post about BRK seems to have been written by AI and I notice that most of her other IHUB posts arrive in the middle of the night US time suggesting they come from very far away.
Wow, Latoria, I see your company makes no-credit-check loans. Is that correct?
"According to my Finviz, BRK is up 14.1% YTD." and up 32% for the past one-year which is stunning when you think of all of BRK's cash, $72 in cash per share.
BRK is moving up some lists while trendier stocks such as TSLA are lagging or even falling. What a great year BRK is having! According to my Finviz, BRK is up 14.1% YTD.
There used to be a guy on IHUB who would cherry pick from Buffett's holdings, something like two or three stocks at any time. Problem was they were usually Buffett's worst dogs.
I'm thrilled that I own BRK, especially when he picks oddball, obscure, non correlated investments like those five Japanese trading companies. In that way BRK is something like a hedge fund, only with vastly lower costs. Not many hedge fund CEOs work for $100,000 a year! Especially those with 80 years experience.
Oh, be sure to let me know when BRK's "mystery stock" is identified.
Oh, I remember you saying that. I still own two conventional mutual funds from decades ago. One is a megacap fund with pretty high expense ratio. I only still have it because I have tons of untaxed capital gains. That wasn't one of my smarter buys. After my initial purchase I never added to it.
My other remaining mutual fund is the Nicholas Fund, bought around 1990 which has done extremely well but still not quite as well as an S&P 500 index fund over the same timeframe.
Yeah, my mistake.
Am I correct that you don't usually buy small caps stocks and certainly not pennies? I realize IOVA is $12 right now.
I've read a number of articles about chocolate shortages this year.
Well it IS entertaining to watch pumped junk Chinese stocks plummeting.
"we will strive to satisfy customers' entertainment needs "
With Vanguard for instance; are those shares owned by various Vanguard funds or shares held in street name for Vanguard Brokerage customers (which may mean very little)?
What Vanguard fund owns those shares currently? Note too there's often a huge lag in reporting. .
"Vanguard Group Inc 22,812,820 Dec 30, 2023 8.91% 276,605,442"
Another stock fad crashes. Lithium
""Crashing lithium prices turn the industry from 'euphoria' to 'despair.' What's next?"
The critical metal used to make electric vehicle batteries, once described as "the new oil," has been crashing in price amid a slowdown in EV demand.
Lithium prices are down more than 80% from their 2022 peak — the same year in which Tesla's (TSLA) CEO Elon Musk noted the metal has gone to "insane levels!"
"The critical silvery-white soft metal is bought via contracts between buyers and sellers, which are typically kept private. However, prices in China, the largest refiner and consumer of lithium, are public. Those plummeted from an all-time high beyond $80,000 per metric ton in 2022 to below $14,000 this month, according to Fastmarkets data."

Correction: "...although Iovance has a market cap of >$3 BILLION which isn't so tiny. I usually only buy stocks with caps exceeding $10 billion."
I've never bought an IPO and I've never owned a small biomed stock although Iovance has a market cap of >$2 million which isn't so tiny. I only buy stocks with caps exceeding $10 billion. Large stocks have much more ability to survive market downturns and bear markets.
IPO stocks tend to be highly promoted initially and prone to falling when the excitement cools. IMO many small biomeds are perpetual startups. Borderline scams.
Insiders tend to be in them for the huge salaries. and have little incentive to actually bring products to market. Hence, round after round of testing. Lately it seems investors have figured out the problems with biomeds as the sector has cooled way off.
Hilarious!
[reporter] "Fong reports that Bankman-Fried’s fellow inmates had made fun of him for his relationship with former Alameda Research executive Caroline Ellison, who pleaded guilty to two counts of wire fraud, two counts of conspiracy to commit wire fraud, conspiracy to commit commodities fraud, conspiracy to commit securities fraud, and conspiracy to commit money laundering."
"As a former inmate, G Lock appears to have developed an affinity with SBF, describing him as “more gangster” than rapper Tekashi Six Nine (6ix9ine). This was because, unlike the rapper, SBF did not “snitch” on anyone while in prison."

Is asking opinions from this board the sum of your DD on Iovance? Have you studied and understand the prospectus as the SEC recommends? Do you know much about IOVA's competitors? If they have better products then your stock is dead. How long do to expect to hold IOVA?
So who was paid to promote BUZZ?
"While the SEC's order did not identify the influencer, 2021 media reports indicated that Barstool Sports founder David Portnoy promoted the ETF. Van Eck obtained an exclusive license to use the BUZZ NextGen AI US Sentiment Leaders Index in relation to the fund, the regulator's order san Eck Paying $1.75 Million Fine Over ETF Promoted by Dave Portnoy>
"The Securities and Exchange Commission didn't name the influencer in its order or press release, but Dave Portnoy participated in the bell-ringing ceremony at the New York Stock Exchange when the Social Sentiment exchange-traded fund began trading."
Portnoy also promoted the ETF in an interview with CNBC personality Jim Cramer and on Fox Business. The SEC's order says the influencer was "known for commenting on sports, investing, and other topics."

"SEC Charges ... for Failing to Disclose Influencer’s Role in Connection with ETF Launch
"Washington D.C., Feb. 16, 2024 —
The Securities and Exchange Commission today announced that registered investment adviser Van Eck Associates Corporation has agreed to pay a $1.75 million civil penalty to settle charges that it failed to disclose a social media influencer’s role in the launch of its new exchange-traded fund (ETF).
According to the SEC’s order, in March 2021, Van Eck Associates launched the VanEck Social Sentiment ETF (NYSE:BUZZ) to track an index based on “positive insights” from social media and other data. The provider of that index informed Van Eck Associates that it planned to retain a well-known and controversial social media influencer to promote the index in connection with the launch of the ETF. To incentivize the influencer’s marketing and promotion efforts, the proposed licensing fee structure included a sliding scale linked to the size of the fund so, as the fund grew, the index provider would receive a greater percentage of the management fee the fund paid to Van Eck Associates. However, as the SEC’s order finds, Van Eck Associates failed to disclose the influencer’s planned involvement and the sliding scale fee structure to the ETF’s board in connection with its approval of the fund launch and of the management fee.

"Israel’s economy contracts nearly 20% after outbreak of war"
"(Bloomberg) — Israel’s economy suffered one of its worst-ever slumps, after the Hamas war paralyzed businesses, forced people to evacuate their homes and caused the military to call up hundreds of thousands of reservists."
"Gross domestic product shrank an annualized 19.4% in the final three months of last year, in seasonally-adjusted terms, according to preliminary figures released on Monday. That was worse than every estimate in a Bloomberg survey of analysts, whose median forecast was for a decline of 10.5%."

Janice, had you ever heard of that Lupe Rose, the beverage scammer. The story was a big deal on the West Coast but I've never heard of it until now. Interesting that her pitch can be watched on YT.
Just about all her claims including that McDonalds had paid her $500,000 for the breakfast bagel sandwich idea were fabricated.
