Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: In your reply to Dan regarding Amazon and high valuations you mentioned being cautious on companies with “commodity like” businesses receiving high valuations.
Could you give a couple of examples with a couple of explanatory comments so members will have a guideline on these things and know what to watch for.
Thank You for your great service

Q: Peter and His Wonder Team
Another question about this company if you please. It is about trading volumes. The other day BBOX in a filing to the SEC stated that they might run out of cash by the end of the year and have to file for bankruptcy. The stock crashed from $1.95 to $0.75 in a few hours. Then 2 days later they announce a great giant contract and the stock recovered closing at $2.03 today. The company has 15.1M shares outstanding yet the trading volume today was 61.4M...YES that is right 61.4M. That is 4X more than the entire float. So as a rookie investor I am trying to understand this incredible volume. Is this professional day traders buying and selling ...buying and selling knowing that the price has to continue to rise. Also I notice large orders going through...are these mutual funds buying and selling when they have made a 5-10% profit.
Would you rate this as a very unusual event. Your assessment please! Thank you immensely.
