I am far from a pro in this crazy field. Last wifey bought $$ in stock, hey Covid dip, deals to be had. One was a scam, we and many others took a hit. Well I told her when she was at the end of buying spree to jump into Avis Budget. Much of my PI business is in rental car industry, they were solid $60 stock, trading at a low of $8.92 last year. Sooooooooooooooo 1 year later it hits $80, then a few weeks ago $140. She actually bought 1,000 shares, I thought she had jumped in deep at 10,000 shares at $11. OK, her thing.
We had to sell 600 of the 1,000 shares three months ago to buy more material for our business, OK, at $75. Pretty good deal I thought.
Now today, Avis Budget announces they are jumping in big to electric cars. OK. In 2 hours the stock opened trading at $142, jumps to $542!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. All in one hour, they announced they will buy a lot of electric cars in 2022.
We sold a bunch. OH, if I had 10,000 shares....... Closed at $357.
