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.

      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.

      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!

    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!

    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

    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

    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 😆

  • Maybe we just close out the day we meet, stock with the highest % return is the winner. I have held rklb for over two years, it did perform well about a year ago and I locked in some gains. Recently its not done well. Which is why my initially small steak has turned into half a cow. I truly believe it can 10x over the next two years. Ive got round $3,500 in the game including options and keep buying at around 4.20, it will be a roller coaster. I mean it’s rocket science your investing in after all

      Hey EI, Ah, the wager is heating up, I see! So, PFP is cruising at $5.51 while RKLB is orbiting around $4.21, with gains over 9.5%. Not too shabby for a funeral home company, right? Who knew that dealing with the dearly departed could be so lively! But seriously, your 💡 of closing out on the day we meet? That sounds like planning a wedding but leaving the date up to the groom's fishing schedule. 🎣🤣Hilarious! Let's nail it ⬇️ like a proper investment strategy, not a rom com plot twist. I ❤️ your optimism about RKLB 10x-ing in the next 2 years. That's some rocket-sized faith right there! But remember, I've heard "It's a roller coaster" before, usually when someone's trying to sell me a ticket to the amusement park 🤣 So, while your small steak has turned into half a cow (great metaphor, by the way), let's see if it becomes a whole bull or just a burger! Meanwhile, I'll keep digging those 9.5% gains out of the ground, one funeral @ a time. Catch you at the launch pad! BC

  • @Barcode So week one ends. Rklb up 1 cent from $4.20 to $4.21. You made a cent on paper BC. I on the other hand went from $5.60 to $5.40 on propel, down 20 cents. So early days, but so far… well not one to gloat ;)-
    Last night Rklb launched their 48th successful mission too. No sign of wile e coyote or any rocks, just saying hehe.
    But I’ve actually thrown a few more dollars at pfp, my analysis compete and i think its neat xx.
    The roadrunner is clearly a clever girl so the coyote won’t be counting his solo hens until they hatch in july however @Hen Solo @SPACE ROCKET

    PS: ive already picked out my attire for the impending date, it was easy, didnt lead to any rigermortas (nuts no idea how to spell that) setting in. You will find me easily, ill be the one in a rocket lab T-shirt. Wait how will i spot you barcode, evil dead T maybe. I think they come in orange. No wait, maybe you will walk towards our table and demonstrate a coiled spring, or an impulse wave channel on the way. Im sure @SPACE ROCKET would enjoy those pics

  • Nuts, only 1000 words @Barcode flowers and chocolate its a date. So before we commit to this obviously as a man i have questions that must be answered. First, will you pretend to enjoy fishing and golf? Actually i hate golf, but hunting ya i like. Can you start a lawn mower? Can you change a tyre? Do you get concerned if the oil light comes on in your car, do you have the right oil in your car to refill? If you cook pasta or rice how do you know when its ready. What is the greatest opera every written. What is the most amazing seafood in nz and how do you cook it to perfection? What tramping experiencies in nz are best with boots or jandles? And last but not least, what is love?
    Easy questions my sweet @Barcode
