You know once when i was a kid. My dad told me: son stocks are like a dartboard. You try to hit a bullseye and uh. If you really suck at darts you're, not gon na get it, you might get a 20, you might get a three.

You might get a seven, you might get a 13. uh. It's pretty much, just basic luck that you hit that bullseye and that's why i said back to him dad. I don't know what the you're talking about, but today my friends, my family, my fellow guerrilla gang we're gon na go over the top five worst picks of 2021.

It's good to be able to reflect back on lost porn. I know that uh, sometimes it's it's retail. It takes the brunt of this, but also it's nice to be reminded that not only retail gets stuff wrong. In fact, the guys who go on tv who get paid the dollars, the sand, the grass, whatever you want to call it to make the big shots - they in fact get stuff wrong too.

First on our list is upstart holdings. This is a classic. This is coming from my very smart man, very smart analyst, let's dive into this beast the term uh that that's a that's a a good-looking, uh name very powerful and very strong earnings. These stocks are they, do i don't even know them? What do they do? Excuse me: what does upstart do uh? Well, i'm i'm, i'm sorry.

What kind of company is it yeah? I'm not you're you're breaking up! Oh uh! Well, i guess we've got an audio problem there mark. We have a bit of an audio problem here. Mark guys, the day that this came out, the stock was uh performing very spectacularly, and i want to show you guys something here really quick, because i find this to be fascinating, because this is a awful claim next day, 401 dollars right october 15th, you see a Drop and then another drop and another drop, and since then, since the day this genius man went on television, you in fact have not seen it come even remotely close. He actually caught the absolute top of the stock when he went on tv that single day and is it as low as 132 dollars currently trading at about 160 and 83 cents down well over 50, this you can claim to be a top five worst call, at Least by timing: that's pretty gnarly! Second, on the list.

Is this sucker right here, diddy d d is a ticker that uh jim cramer, very infamously, infamously touted on his own behalf, for being perhaps a standout from the rest of the chinese ipos, he uh. He was very bullish on this right from day one right from ipo day. Let me show you a little bit of a clip from this man, giving the bee's knees, this canyon, the uh, the gospel of our lord and savior. Let's dive into this beast, deedee d-i-d-i! That's the chinese version of uber, that's coming public on wednesday.

This company has a stranglehold on china, thrive, sharing market, they own it that they crushed their competitors and then uh bought them up when they got tired of losing money that includes uber. China didi's also got some really huge backers: chinese tech giants like alibaba and tencent, a japanese government like sulpic, even apples indeed. Finally, based on the proposed price range, which values deity at around 65 billion, i think the valuation seems eminently reasonable. Now there are so many trust concerns here, but as long as they stay on the communist party's good side - and i know it's probably hard to do - but as long as they do, i doubt they'll have much trouble with the regulators.

So if you want to speculate on a chinese ipo, you've got my blessing to bet on deity. I would try to get as many shares as you can d-i-d-i. Oh, the famous words of our lord and savior, the invert index of jim cramer. Guys, ladies and gentlemen, i don't know if you're aware of this, but anytime jim cramer, says something i'm pretty sure it's written in his contract, he he has to give advice and the opposite of what he actually wants you to do.

So if you trade, the opposite of jim cramer, you will actually perform pretty decently, or at least in this case, as dede the next day as an ipo'd looked promising. It actually didn't. Look too bad, i mean it opened red. It had a red day.

It's not fantastic, but nonetheless there's opportunity who knows, unfortunately, it has done nothing but absolutely tank coming off of some chinese news, some chinese restrictions and possibly uh the potential for it to get de-listed off of u.s exchanges. That's a pretty gnarly bad call. Date of this. Ipod was at 18 and one cent at a height and, as of today is trading five dollars and 43 cents.

It cut in nearly three fourths, almost a 75 loss. That's a pretty bad call, just bad next. On the list for today is going to be coming from michael berry. Now this one is a little more up in the air as of right now it is a bad call, and the only restriction that i have for this one is that there's not a particular date attached to it.

I'll read you guys off from this picture right here, michael j bernie says so: elon musk, yes, i'm short tesla, but some free advice for a good guy seriously. Issue 25 to 50 of your shares at the current ridiculous price. That's not dilution, you'd be cementing permanence and untold optionality. If there are buyers sell that tesla souffle and unfortunately, i was not able to find any of the video if there does exist.

Video on michael j bury stating that he was short on tesla only this tweet, but what i can tell you is this: there is an article that recently came out talking about michael j berry, deleting his tweets now keep in mind. Michael j brey has deleted. Quite a few tweets in the past: it's not something that he's a stranger to doing, but he did in fact do so. Michael byrd, the investor made famous by the big short, has alleged that elon musk is selling tesla stocks simply to capitalize on his enormous value.

While the share price is still high, he tweeted, let's face it. Elon musk borrowed against 88.3 million shares, sold all his mansions and moved to texas. Basically, what this is stating this article is that uh he deleted all his tweets after posting dire economic predictions and jabs at elon musk. This article did come out on november 15th.

I would anticipate that he tweeted about tesla before him. Now we can just take an estimated guess if anybody has better information on this feel free to drop it down below in the comments section, but nonetheless, on november 15th, the stock price was right here right at about a thousand dollars, we'll take the absolute high on That a thousand dollars and thirty a thousand thirty one dollars only trading at 1107, so not down a terrific amount if he is down at all on this position. However, if this was even two or three weeks prior, the ball game changes pretty drastically he's at 800. Saying i'm short on tesla he's down nearly 25.

That's a pretty pretty big difference more than that and uh. Once again, i would say this is probably a bad call. There's one thing: i've learned: don't bet against tesla now guess what next one is coming from: kathy wood, captain wood, the the runner and ceo and founder essentially of arc invest, is very big on tech right, very big on tech, very big on, i wouldn't say going Against the grain, but innovation right, she dives very heavy into innovation, tries to find perhaps the next big blue chip stocks and in the past has performed very well. However, she dove in very, very, very heavy into zillow stock.

Now zuo is perhaps a company that uh, you could argue one way or the other, but the timing behind her purchases are very interesting. In fact, she had nearly a quarter billion actually over a quarter billion dollars invested into zillow before she actually ended up, cashing out for over a 100 million dollar loss. Very very sad, i'ma show you guys this video here really quick of jim cramer, also touting zillow uh before a pretty drastic sell-off. If you saw this get into the homework, you would have discovered that zillow is benefiting from what they call the great reshuffling.

They've come up with new tools where you can literally sell your house on zillow with a click then fix it up and resell to someone. Customers want simplicity in one. Click goes on to site. The amazon prime model is his inspiration, saying quote what people want to do is get into their new house.

Everything else is an obstacle to me. It sounds like the perfect time to own the amazon of housing. Now it appears that jim cramer is also no stranger, because this came up at about 200 and if you were to click on zillow right now it is trading at 62.57. This is coming off of terrible news, terrible terrible news.

This is coming off of perhaps the worst news that you could have for a company. That's sole purpose is to sell houses. They reported that they couldn't sell houses and uh that they actually had a drastic loss in revenue revenue coming out to particularly 380 million dollars. In quarter three kathy woods dumped all of her shares.

Uh. Let me show you this chart check this out. She came out and announced that they averaged down their position. Uh a pretty decent chunk coming out to.

If i can read this here, really quick uh, they bought another 288 000 shares of zillow right here and the next day it dropped. After that q3 news, pretty bad timing. I don't know why you would buy going into earnings. You could very easily just wait until the day after earnings.

Maybe it goes up. Maybe it goes down, but at least you know, uh that you're gon na get a better picture better picture of what's happening, but nonetheless this was a jurassic l. Coming from kathy wood and she's had a pretty cold uh second half of 2021, which is quite unfortunate but does make for the good the good meme, but who does not like a good meme and some decent last porn every now and then the final one that I've got for you and i saved the best for last is robin hood guys. I've got drawn up a pretty nice little uh formation right here.

I like to call this the and ball. I got this from my good friend astro. You can see that it's got this nice shaft coming down like, like so uh, just a big flaccid wiener hanging down on the chart very sad to see - and this has a story to be told. So let us start off with this story.

This beautiful story, it all begins with the ipo of the company, the company ipos at uh, approximately 30 dollars and some change. It goes all the way up to 85 within a week, pretty pretty fantastic right, not too bad. In fact, there were people stating very obviously on august 23rd, which, by the way the stock price was trading at i wasn't actually trading yet. Actually that was before ipo but comes on, says he's robin you got this right here.

Let me show you this mizuho dan dolith bullish on robinhood i'll, show you the first couple seconds of this here. Really quick, we'll go on and i'll continue with the story, but not everyone. The most bullish call coming from mizuho with a 68 dollar price target, robin hood ending up the day about six percent, though still off 46 percent from its high zuhos dan dilev joins us now to break down his call and his target, which is 68 dan. What what do you think is being underappreciated here by the market i'll leave it at that 68 price target? This came out on uh august 23rd august 23rd.

The price was trading at approximately, as you can see by this white arrow uh, a high of 46.85 cents. Clearly, at 18 33 he had a 68 dollar price target. Ladies and gentlemen, this is coming off of some pretty uh piss poor news. You can see this right here check this out.

Robin hood tanks after sec chair, tells barons that banning payment for order flow is a possibility, and how could i forget, how could i leave off the table? Charles gasparino, this man has been very bullish on ramen for a very long time. It's gotten kind of silent on twitter in particular. If you want to go, find anything that he's tweeted, it's actually still up i'll give him some props for that i'll. Give him respect for standing by his conviction, but nonetheless i can't find a worse trade than robin hood, uh myself in the last the last 12 months, that is perhaps the uh, the biggest limp noodle that i've ever seen my entire life and that's what i've got For this video, so i come back to what my dad told me as a kid he said, son you're, throwing a dog on the board.

Now i understand right, don't matter if you're retail, it doesn't matter if you're an analyst doesn't matter if you're a hedge fund manager, nobody knows what the they're doing so do what you want to do, invest in what you want to invest in at the end of The day we're all taking our best educated guess, sometimes you get it wrong. Sometimes you get it right. Just hope that it's the it's the better of the two huh. So i guess that's what i've got for this sucker all right catch you, the next one light taps peace,.
