This guy is a well known Australian/Canadian who produces science and physics videos on Youtube. He made this video describing a problem with Facebook's advertising system and found evidence that Facebook's revenue is based on fake likes. He's not saying the company is doing anything malicious, by the way. For both investors and users of Facebook, there are interesting implications here. One is that a significant percent of Facebook accounts are fake (people and bots who just click... Meta / Facebook (META ..read more

So, one wistleblower dies suspiciously in his car not too long ago, and today another whistleblower lays some damning info regarding Boeing. Curious what people's plans are here for their portfolios. Sold off BA or holding it? Or hoping the company fixes this toxicity and finally gets back to a trusting blue-chip? If so, then buying the dip could be profitable... I have a lot of nostalgia for this company, but now with real competition... looks like they are risking going woke-broke... Boeing BA (new whistleblower) testimony ..read more

I was pretty much spot-on for my guess as to how long it would take for this failed/bankrupt company to reach this point. Earlier today I took my last stroll into one of their remaining stores and not much has changed, aside from even fewer people than ever before browsing. Book displays are half filled with 'woke' content, with everything far too over priced, and many items not even related to books at all. I feel I am old now. I still remember when these were starting up all over cities... Indigo agrees to go private after sale to holding company ..read more

It seems to be tanking, as most people seemed to expect. Personally I am a bit surprised the price fell as quickly as it did. Long term, of course, there's nothing there. I was wondering if anyone knew how to obtain a share certificate, or if those are even a thing any more. TD simply doesn't have a way of ordering certificates, but maybe other institutions provide a method. I was thinking that a couple of share certificates in DJT would be worth something. Certificates of... DJT -- Trump Media ..read more

With Amazon halting Visa transactions, they've pushed this stock way down and it might be time to pick up some on sale. Visa is also looking into adding bitcoin. Looks appealing to me. Thoughts ..read more

Anyone owns this stock? Any thoughts? I bought it at $27 in mid-April 2020 during the crash and I should've bought much, much more. I'm up +250% at the moment and I was planning to buy more during this recent pullback but I didn't as I decided to buy more of another stock instead (KL.TO). I sure plan to increase my position pretty soon. I think it's the first stock I bought so my position was very tiny. They are currently offering a buyback for cancellation for up to $350M of their shares... DOO.TO / DOOO (BRP ..read more

So there is a major Facebook outtage now (10am EST) Do you think this type of problem with hurt Facebook/Meta? For me, it's a reminder how tied my side hustle is to Facebook. It is really easy to run a store that way, but right now I'm dead. No way to contact customers at all ..read more

HBB HAMILTON BEACH BRANDS -A NYSE C18.17  — — I own some. In my IBKR account is shows as above, with a "C" before the price, and I don't know what the C means. (It's not Canadian.) The "Change %" column for HBB is blank. A day or two ago a new president was named, and the stock has been seemingly paralyzed in my account for two days now. The price has not moved. I can find no news about the company by searching the web. Can anyone here suggest what might be going on?? Thank you ..read more

Despite what every other value investor has been saying the last few years, I've avoided BABA mostly due to the fact the West is more than a coinflip closer to a hotwar with China soon. However, with the panic selling and devastation in Chinese markets right now, it may be worth the risk. The problem, is from my research, BABA is not available in stock form to the West. Only ADRs. While you can get the US ADR on NYSE, is there any such thing as a Canadian ADR for this stock? If I go and... BABA ..read more
