$AMC
#meme Does anyone know if it is a split or why it has dropped so much in the last few days ?

Meme stock AMC Entertainment unveiled its quarterly numbers today, and they turned out better than expected. Revenue rose to $1.35 billion from $1.2 billion a year ago. Analysts had expected $1.29 billion. Earnings per share were $0.01. Positive after all 😂

Well, which of you are convinced by the quarterly figures of $AMC? Who gets in? haha

The confirmation bias in the world of equities

Reading time: about 5 minutes

Referring to my previous posts on the topics of.

Sunk Cost Fallacy https://getqu.in/VbkjSa/ and

Ultimatum Game https://getqu.in/3swaOa/

today follows a post on the confirmation bias.

What is the confirmation error

People tend to unconsciously support their own behavior and views with such information by which they are confirmed. If you think party X is making good policies, you will look for information (news, posts on the Internet, other people with similar opinions) that confirms your assumptions. You will inevitably also come across information that represents a contrary opinion, but you will selectively block it out or judge it as false, incorrect, lied. Especially in the last years you could observe this in the context of Covid19, where (alleged and real) experts constantly contradicted each other.

One runs the risk of selecting important information, distorting it and adapting it with regard to one's own opinion.

Where can we encounter confirmation bias on the stock market?

In the consideration to buy stock Y, one looks for information about the company. Bad economic data/company figures, which objectively speaking would perhaps prevent one from buying (usually unconsciously), are faded out. Instead, they focus on information that reinforces their own opinion or their desire to buy share Y. Starting points here are, for example, portals such as reddit, where hypes, meme stocks and fomo news seem to be popular and are shared and discussed in large quantities.

Recent examples of this could be the meme stocks that have been popular for about two years now $GME (+0,92 %) and $AMC for which large communities have come together on reddit. Keyword: Herd instinct

Interpreting company figures according to one's own opinion is a good example of confirmation bias. A negative quarterly report from company Y with a subsequent drop in the share price could be misinterpreted as temporary weakness and at the same time a great opportunity to enter the market - or vice versa. People ignore warning signals in order to justify their original (here: buying a bad stock) decision and, again a human tendency, to show consistent behavior at the same time.

Information that confirms one's own opinion is often accepted uncritically and without further verification. One succumbs here possibly to the confirmation error, by telling oneself that one already knew what was confirmed to one now also still. Affect heuristics follow the same line. This states that decisions are often made on the basis of emotions, which was and still is helpful from an evolutionary point of view. According to this, one decides on the basis of one's gut feeling and tries to explain this decision with facts and arguments afterwards.

What do I want to achieve?

I have realized for myself that I have often succumbed to various thinking errors in the past, and I have paid a lot of lesson money because of them. In an attempt to avoid these thinking errors, I have started to deal with them and write down my thoughts - and subsequently share them here in summarized form. I look forward to constructive criticism of this post and helpful responses. Thanks for reading!

P.S.: In conclusion, confirmation bias is not an immutable law and not every person is affected by it to the same degree. The important thing is to be aware of confirmation bias (and other thinking errors) and to act accordingly, or to specifically look for other/opposing opinions and perhaps even try to recreate them in order to broaden one's own horizons. The goal should be to get rid of the idea that only one's own knowledge is exclusively fact-based and correct. As is well known, the truth often lies in the middle.

These stocks could profit from the Barbie hype

You've probably noticed the hype surrounding the new Barbie movie starring Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling. In the last few weeks, there has been a lot of publicity! Today is the premiere of the film in Germany and tomorrow the film starts in the US. I am sure that the film will not only make the box office ring, but also some stocks will benefit from the Barbie hype. The $MAT (+1,72 %) share, manufacturer of the Barbie doll, is already within the last month with nearly 15% in the plus and is still positively evaluated by experts. The film comes today in the distribution of Warner Bros, so could also the $WBD (+0,85 %) Share from the hype profit. Retailers such as. $GPS (-0,97 %), $CROX (+5,65 %) and $KSS (+4,89 %) are also jumping on the Barbie bandwagon, benefiting from licensing deals with the toymaker. Even the meme share of the movie theater operator $AMC could gain new momentum from the Barbie hype. Unfortunately, nothing is really known about the film yet, so it remains exciting to see whether the film will meet the expectations of moviegoers and whether the shares will benefit from the hype in the long term.

Are you going to see the new Barbie movie? Do you think that the Barbie movie will actually have a positive impact on the stocks mentioned and can profit from the hype? Or are you rather skeptical?

$AMZN (+0,34 %) is probably interested in a possible takeover of $AMC interested.

I would consider such an acquisition to be quite "fat"...

Just imagine:

Cinemas from Amazon with possible Prime conditions, Prime content etc.

Personally, I think this is very interesting in conjunction with the MGM acquisition.

So the journey is over here for me! Fortunately, I was only with a small position inside...therefore, the financial loss is limited.

But it was extremely fun to be there...only I am no longer convinced of the matter with now almost 1 billion APEs spent. AMC will remain very volatile but I no longer believe in the bang. Especially since Citadell in 2022 have brought in the largest profit in their history.

I am now moving on it was nice with you Apes bye bye:-)

Why the $AMC share could still make 10$ reach (+40%) this week!

Are there any other AMC Apes like me on this platform?
