A WEE WAGER

Ok, so Barcode and I have decided to have a small bet. She seems to be crazy bullish on an ANZ company called $PROPEL LTD(PFP.AU)$ While I feel the same about a USANZ company called $Rocket Lab USA, Inc.(RKLB)$

So the wager was I buy PFP and she buys RKLB, I just brought one share yesterday for $5.60. She was going to buy ten shares of RKLB today. The winner is the one who gave the other the winning trade. Of course we will only look at the return on 1 share, but the winner has to buy the coffee. Since we both live in New Zealand and are around 100km apart we decided we could catch up in Silverdale in a month for a coffee and a chat (so I can get my free coffee lol) 

Really fancy the whole brunch for free, rather than just the coffee, but to be fair, just to chat in person with another investor. It's just quite cool.

Kinda trying to set up a thread here for people that are interested in the bet thing we have going, maybe more for fellow kiwis that would actually be able to meet in person. It would be fun for others to maybe speculate on which stock of the two they would back.

Oh and BC I hope you don't mind me posting this, but I am interested in what you picked up Rklb for today as a reply. I like to enjoy life, and our little wager is like... just fun

    Super easy, but ladies first, right? We've had a blast so far. Sadly, I'm super busy right now and need to focus on other stuff, like staying on top of the stock market news and catching up with fellow Tigers' posts, which I've fallen behind on while we've been having fun here. Plus, I'm diving into learning options, which needs my full attention. Under Space Rocket's guidance, I'm sure we can chat about all of this in person at Walnut Cafe 😊. When's your birthday, by the way? Mine's coming up in July, so a bouquet of flowers and some Japanese Royce chocolates would be perfect timing.

      Wow!! I LOVE SEAFOOD!!! I've tried nice ones in USA, Au, Jap and Kor, but none from NZ (other than canner abalones) yet. Hopefully I'd be able to try them one day!! You're so blessed to have such a sweet and nice dad who brought you on many adventures +made you wonderful meals!!So blessed,dearie! 😍
    • SPACE ROCKETReplyBarcode
      Yes Jap has one of the nicest snacks omg!!When I went to Jap some time back, we spent thousands there and had trouble stuffing them all into luggages and carton boxes!Now, we have Jap stores in SG selling Jap produce&snacks so we're spoilt for choices here! And we can easily buy them off Amazon JP.
    • BarcodeReplySPACE ROCKET
      Mine also, have you tried the Japanese chocolates? They are to die for ha ha my friend bought some back from his Japanese trip and I’ve never tasted anything so divine. Seaweed snacks are great too. My dear, New Zealand has some of the best seafood in the world literally. I grew up on seafood, catching a lot of it with my Dad, who was also a fantastic chef so we were spoilt for choice with seafood!
    • SPACE ROCKETReplyBarcode
      Hahaha yeah. Chocolates are one of my favourite. I love seaweed snacks too! Do NZ have nice seafood? Cause I love seafood too!!! 🤣

      Haha you’ll have to go chocolate shopping and satisfy that craving.

    Hey EI, Just peeked at my PFP.AU on the ASX—it took a tiny stumble, closing at $5.54 thanks to a lackluster day because of tech stocks. No stratospheric jump today, but hey, it's poised for a rebound 🚀


    Meanwhile, you’ve been singing praises for Rocket Lab (RKLB), convinced it’ll sprint past my steady eddy. You might recall your enthusiasm didn't quite catch my attention when I first posted—no hard feelings, just checking if your crystal ball has gotten any clearer since then. As for RKLB, I took the plunge and snagged a single share at market open yesterday at $4.20, watched it climb to $4.40 at today's close. Not too shabby!
    • SPACE ROCKET
      Haha I wish everything was as easy as looking at crystal balls. I'd be getting many crystal balls from big to small if that's e case 😅😆😅😆😅😆😅
    • Emotional Investor
      Nice buy at $4.20 BC :)

    You’re betting big on RKLB's breakout potential, despite its struggle against that formidable trio: the descending wedge trendline, the 200-day moving average, and the VWAP. It's dangling on the edge, needing just a nudge (or a rocket boost!) to soar. Let’s see if it can deliver the goods. 📈
    So, about our friendly wager—remind me, when are we closing this bet again, EI? The stakes? Loser treats to brunch and an extra-large latte (you know my order!) at that swanky Orewa spot you can't stop raving about. Regardless of who wins, we’ll both enjoy great food and better company.
    And oh, a glance at my PFP in Sharesies shows a comfy 10.25% gain since the tail end of 2023. How’s your Rocket Lab expedition going? If this was your clever ruse for a date, it’s quite the smooth move—almost had me fooled! Guess it’s your round to smash the piggy bank when I'm back from holiday late July!
    PS: I didn’t receive a reply to an earlier post, so I am including it now. 😃
    Cheers BC

      Haha, alert the dinosaur police! I get where you're coming from. Tinder is a bit like speed dating on steroids—definitely a different vibe. But hey, it’s all about what works for you. No shame in keeping it old school! 🦕🚔 And just so you know, double dating’s not my show! 🦕🚔

    Oh, the Hunger Games of stock picking? More like the Hungry Games for you, because we both know who’s coming out on top here. No need for bows & arrows, just sharp strategies and a keen eye for profits—mine, of course! Pancakes, you say? Bold choice. I’m more of a "creamy mushrooms on toast" kind of girl when it comes to breakfast—and investments. Gotta have that savory flavor with a dash of strategy.


    So, what will you pick? I’m guessing something equally delightful & strategic. Maybe waffles, because they have those nifty compartments to hold all the syrupy gains. But let's be real, the only thing you'll be soaking up is the sweet taste of my victory! You might want to pre-order my mushrooms so they’re ready when I arrive. I’m not known for my patience 😂For you, maybe some plain porridge—no sweet gains in sight! 🤣May the odds be ever in my favor. And remember, in our version, the only thing getting toasted is the competition—specifically you!🤣 @SPACE ROCKET
    • SPACE ROCKETReplyBarcode
      HAHA toasting and grilling his spores doesn't sound nice 😅🤣😂 If only food science evolves till we can email one another a food pic, print and eat it 🤣🤣 Yups mushrooms have loads of benefits and they are my absolute favourite!! 🥰😍

    EI, Huge, colossal, could-start-a-peanut-butter-factory nuts! Who knew our wee wager on TT would go from a friendly bet to a full-blown, sizzling, "hot" sensation? It’s like we've accidentally stumbled onto the set of "MAFS" but with stocks instead of soulmates. Can you imagine? "BC & EI: The Stock Market Matchmakers." Coming soon to a screen near you. Forget T’er, we're about to create the ult financial ❤️ story, where every swipe right means a potential fortune & every swipe left is a margin call. So here we r, not just traders but trendsetters. The only ? now is: what do we wear to our inevitable TV debut? U in a suit with rocket patches & a helmet for dramatic effect, me in something drop-dead gorgeous that screams, "Yes, I profit from funeral parlors & look killer doing it!" I’m braced 4 take off & what could be a really entertaining financial soap opera. Either way, it’s bound to be more ex’g than “MAFS” & way more dramatic than a casket sale @ a funeral directors’ convention 😆

    • BarcodeReplySPACE ROCKET
      🤣 Yeah they would be confused haha. I’d wear a blood red knock em dead dress 🤣. EI would be just red from stock embarrassment 🤣 Lucky he will have a helmet for his crash landing. He won’t muck my knock em dead dress up though cause it’s all red y red 😆
    • SPACE ROCKET
      OMG this is hilarious 😂 If my kiddos were there watching you both, they would say... "Halloween came early or what? Did that 2 misread their calendars?" HAHA jkjk! It would be hilarious to watch you both rock your whatever funny suits 🤣😂
