Right on cue, redditors are talking about hkd, monkeypox, and 8/ 12 today. Here's what they're saying.



Hkd is the topic seeing the strongest uptrend in chatter on Wallstreetbets today. Here's what's being said:

Unless you get in sub $10, stay the hell away from those companies. HKD and GCT are designed to steal your money.

Company itsef is economicly healthy and expanding and shorts are on its back like wolfs. Its really low risk and high chance for it to run like a HKD = big money. But all above is not that important beccause i really want to se that watermellon đŸ€Ł, count my in.

HKD got kicked off of Robinhood lol can’t even search it up

FlingusDingusMaximus - 2 upvotes - source
how likely was this documentary a justification to short a company to their equivalent of HKD, in an effort to make shorts the good guys, to hide the transfer of wealth? after what I have learned about GME and how the markets work. every and any one wallstreet firm that makes themselves the hero, especially when it comes to shorting is highly highly suspicious. im inclined to think of this china hustle as another HKD situation that they have helped fabricate to pump and dump

"like" means the same in stock terms doesn't it? ie, FTD clearing process... *If an asset (GME) can't be found then it can be exchanged for a 'like' asset (HKD) of similar value.*
 

Monkeypox is another popular topic. Comments for that:



SweatyLiterary - 4 upvotes - source
An argument for SIGA's TPOXX drug is the only treatment for active cases of monkeypox and has shown to treat symptoms (anorectal lesions, skin lesions, mucosal lesions) significantly cutting down instances where a patient would have to be admitted to the hospital An argument against Monkeypox cases are beginning to wane everywhere except the US (because everyone began vaccination campaigns in late May). TPOXX may only be of use in the US

RalphaDog - 3 upvotes - source
I was considering shorting SIGA because monkeypox hype seems to be dying down but then I noticed it’s on the top 10 of fintel gamma squeeze targets. Anyone have a compelling argument for either side on SIGA?

t2t23t23 - 3 upvotes - source
why are people worried about monkeypox with 14,000 cases in 4+ months when covid had 2,000,000+ cases and is way more deadly plus contagious lol also we already have a vaccine for monkeypox and we can vaccinate after exposure also it’s not novel and has been endemic in humans since 1970s in many countries with minimal impact

Own-Wolverine-5361 - 2 upvotes - source
Have you seen the anoos of the monkeypox?

Cram_Jimer - 2 upvotes - source
You‘ll be safe, monkeypox will never be nearly as dangerous as COVID plus a lot of other companies are already working on a vaccine. It’s currently trading way over its real value. My guess it’s back to 14-16 beginning of next year

Bed bath is another popular topic. Here's what they're saying:



slimelmo91 - 366 upvotes - source
Bed Bath & Beyond Inc. has found a financing source to shore up its liquidity as it tries to weather recent missteps, according to people familiar with the matter. The company on Tuesday told prospective lenders that it has selected a lender to provide a loan following a marketing process conducted by JPMorgan Chase & Co., people familiar with the matter said. A loan deal would provide liquidity and give vendors confidence they can continue to ship goods to Bed Bath & Beyond, which is fighting to correct missteps from an ill-fated push into private-label brands. The retailer had been seeking about $375 million to pad its cash levels and help pay down existing debt, The Wall Street Journal previously reported. **The size and structure of the final deal wasn’t immediately clear on Tuesday. Bed Bath & Beyond and JPMorgan didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment.** The company’s shares skyrocketed last week on a burst of interest from individual investors but have been sliding since billionaire activist Ryan Cohen announced his exit from the stock and sold off his 10% stake. The falling share price narrowed the options available to Bed Bath & Beyond to build liquidity, staunch its cash bleed and ensure continued shipments from suppliers. The company has signaled it has to raise cash. **While it has said it should be fine for a year, its business remains in decline. The company used up more than $500 million in cash in the latest quarter that ended in May.** Bed Bath & Beyond has said it would provide an update on efforts to strengthen its balance sheet at the end of the month. source: https://www.wsj.com/articles/bed-bath-beyond-clinches-loan-deal-11661301078

Coinflip. Personally, working at a BBBY warehouse, they’ve been doing a lot of work on the warehouse (completely repainting the interior, remodeling all the offices, adding a bunch of bed bath and beyond themed fixtures) and hiring a shit ton of new people. Maybe I’m completely wrong, but I’m not really buying bankruptcy. Why are they doing these things in an imminent bankruptcy situation? I feel like BuyBuyBaby being sold off is what they’re gearing up for, personally. Could be losing a job and all the money I put into the stock at the same time, or I could keep my job and make a lot of money off the shares. Hoping for the second scenario ![img](emote|t5_2th52|4270)

The OG bull thesis predicted a shift to ecommerce via 1 or more major distribution centers. Tracks. * Chewy to gobble up the market share of pet supplies, left vulnerable by Amazon's (et al) predatory practices exploiting customers and employees alike, and zero concern for customer experience. * GameStop (transformation into tech) to gobble up the market share of consumer electronics, gaming, and technology, left vulnerable by Amazon's (et al) predatory practices exploiting customers and employees alike, and zero concern for customer experience. * Buy Buy Baby as an acquired entity to gobble up the market share of baby products and new-parent supplies, (telegraphed by 6 baby-centric tweets from RC/RCV since he first bought a bull position in March), left vulnerable by Amazon's (et al) predatory practices exploiting customers and employees alike, and zero concern for customer experience. * Bed Bath and Beyond pivoted to ecommerce -- can you guess the next part of this bullet point?

So $105 for each Bed Bath and Beyond lead, 180 billion for Buy Buy Baby, add the real estate, coupon tech and developers, inventory, swing trade rule, trademarks, and tax write offs due to failing. I think you've lowballed it. My fair value estimate comes to BBBY having a market cap of $3T with a PT of $4000 per share.

Right, because a major superpower with the world's third-largest nuclear arsenal is exactly the same as fucking Afghanistan and Vietnam. Give me a fucking break. Not to minimize Vietnam and Afghanistan, but if you think US and Europe are doing this out of the goodness of their hearts alone, then you are out of your mind. This war has major geopolitical implications, and I have no doubt that sending a message to China about the potential costs of any military action is an important factor. It's not a coincidence that Pelosi, as a major us politician, visited Taiwan in an official capacity for the first time since the 90's just a few weeks ago.

I’m not saying it will swing one way or the other, but when the notice was put out $R-E-V secured a loan, it popped from like $5 to $9.50 that same day in like 3 hours. My guess is premarket jumps to $12, stabilizes, holds between $12-15 all day, then on Friday, when media tries to tell people it’s all over, their August announcement drops for some weekend hype.

Here's my take: 1. BBBY facilities are getting a face lift 2. There's some hiring going on. Not great but happening 3. Loan secured 4. Short interest report coming tomorrow 5. Month end announcement coming 6. Price within $2 past two days With all these factors being in positive light, there will some buying tomorrow. Expect at least a conservative $4 price jump if not higher, from current ~$9 level

This. You're better off getting in as soon as you can into a reasonable home, rather than waiting for something more expensive or tor some magic economic stars to align. The sooner you're paying down that loan the sooner you'll be free to do what you want. It's a fallacy that owning ties you down compared to renting.
