It's quite a tool for those who want to feel like they are under the radar (spoiler: they're not). My buddies teen got bad into hard narcs and went to boy jail. His dad has his phone now and says the snap chat is a constant stream of drug deals. "I got 1k 200 mg caps of this" "I need 5 Oz. of that" "This corner, that time" etc. nonstop 24/7. Takes all kinds of users to make an app a winner I guess.

...and we are rolling with a slightly bearish close and losing 1.051x on daily... Euro fighting with everything to hold the handle sending screaming SOS signals for the W close....

Not much to see or do for now. On the Snap iteration plenty of time so will leave it open ...

Snapchat started as a way for kids to send nudes to eachother

INSTAGRAM will outpace snapchat- it took their only gimmick by introducing "stories" and "live".
INSTAGRAM is also owned by FB, and wildly more popular.

There is a subculture via 4chan.org that uses snapchat for illegal porn/drug interactions

Don't think snap will have the legs instagram and facebook do. Mostly because instagram has already stolen their "niche"

hm, millenial as well but as I have absolutely no knowledge of the SNAP situation Im not going for any. not even sure what is all the stuff one needs to know to make a qualified decision. never traded individual companies. but interested to learn - however, for me that would have to start for scratch as Ive been only digging in FX, commodities, equities and FA so far cannot even make TA of the chart as my broker shows only today price move. either I do not get something or that broker is crap

So whats you call? no buy at all? no volatility compression? just a direct hit down?

PS: @chester123 fresh IPO ...first day of trading ...thats the beauty of the iteration ....no chart fitting or indicator bias available...just pure FA, price and valuation.

I think it's the illusion of privacy that gives them a leg up over the FB options for that niche. But I'm mostly with you on who wins in the end. Short term could get some attention.

Same with all fresh tech IPOs isnt it? Buy until the first sign of trouble then bail. Lather rinse repeat

I get the point and it's ridiculous what people are getting involved in nowadays with all the technology available ...shame that privacy is a luxuary of the past ...for the more informed ones , encrypted apps should do the trick so far but drug dealing and crime in general is getting out of control with all these handy tools for the younger generation . sad !

c. Nothing to see here. Play a compression of volatility neither $26.5x or the bottom $23.0x of the opening range will be taken in the next month (risking 4% for 8% return).

Don't get me wrong. We did the same shit when we were younger. We just had better drugs and cooler cars.

I believe kids should have those outlets- but when perverted adults posing as kids get mixed in....

B for me. Although I personally believe FB will kill SNAP in the not too distant future. Instagram has the momentum and FB the money to do so.

ok, interesting, it depends (not depends, but its confusing) on what time frame/lvl is this itineration - im not sure what can be the average ranges of moves when trading companies and dont wanna judge from first day of SNAP but lets say Im going for A dont know why as the google found analysis seem to be same sh*t as when it comes to FX.

Yep. Internet changed a lot. Funny how since the Internet came around we don't let our kids outside on their own. Logical and illogical at the same time. We became acutely aware of just how many freaks there are. Ignorance was bliss.
