BAC$22.89
My investment accounts are 80% cash right now. I also sold 80% in 2007 and got back in 2011. Not sure if I'll be right again. So far I'm wrong.
NFLX, AMZN, AAPL, DIS, GOOG, TGT, MSFT
Hold until retirement. :)

You really going out on the limb for us.. lol.
I wish I was more ballsy at times.. although there is the negative side to that as well. My friend told me to get into AMD last year around $1+.. company is doing okay but it's at 12 bucks now!
I am risk averse, so I only invest in sure things... staple stocks and Irvine real estate. :)
BTW: Remember how members here were panning NFLX? Bet they all wish they bought in back then.
If you're going long term - what about biotech ETFs like BIB, IBB, XBI? Short-term might be a little rough though.
I think Citi (C) has quite a bit of room to move up this year to catch up with the other big banks. BAC is solid though for a while.
US companies with lots of $$ overseas to repatriate back will be a good play as well. CSCO and AAPL come to mind.
My non-sexy/value pick is American Eagle Outfitters (AEO). 3+% dividend, 11.5 P/E Ratio and low Price/Cash Flow and PEG Ratios to boot.
Haha I just left the market as well
I had AMZN, DIS, GM, TSLA, FB
sold all of them when the dow broke 20,000
my personal thoughts on those I bought (amzn might hit $1000, who knows, dis is solid with marvel, but I think espn holding it down, GM gives good dividends, tsla with the trump situation might be tricky now, FB hasn't done quite as well as I hoped, maybe due to fake news/VR)
so around 21% gain in a year...decided not to try my luck anymore. Short term it was a good idea as those are all lower now...but I'll probably not be able to buy into those stocks anymore especially amazon. I bought the day it fell to $550 or so...I think with the announcement of some competitor (Netflix I think with new shows)
I wish I was more ballsy to keep them forever, but I figure now is a risky time to be investing.
Biggest regret in the past year, I bought 1000 shares of GSV when it was around .95 or so (yolo style)...sold it when it hit around 1.03 since it was so up and down. Today it's 2.81.... ugh that could've been 300% increase :'(
I'll probably hold it as cash for a little longer until I see another amazon like situation
Hindsight 20/20. There are plenty of times I missed the boat. I got into Netflix early during my start of career at $15.. sold at $30. Thought I did well with 100% right? lol.

Just like Irvine real estate. Long ago could have bought some condos for $100k and SFRs for $200k, now how much are they going for? :)

In general, stocks are at an all time high today. Do you TI'ers see this continuing for a while or a slow down? If it's a slowdown, are any equity sectors safe? I personally think bank stocks are relatively safe and utilities (with their higher dividends) might be a decent hedge.

I have WAY too much $$ in bank stocks...I'm just being hesitant to pull some out. Maybe the market keeps going up until Trump gets impeached!

Name off some hot ones to help TI members achieve their dreams. Currently I like financial stocks like BAC but that's slow moving. Please contribute.
You guys think snap will pop short term?
no option chain from what i can tell, it'd be horrible if you short it but can't buy it to close the position as there are no buyers and the stock keeps on going up
On an IPO i think the only ones who can short in the first week are the syndicate members as no stock has settled till day 3. Without settled stock there is no stock to borrow in order to short. Also options don't usually trade on a stock till it has been out there awhile (month or 2) so the makers can get the premiums figured out.
I predict a Twitter-like chart

Amazon Prime is our go to but their return policy is lame because you have to cover shipping.

So bring on the snowflake lawsuits, that was predictable when in doubt Sue everybody and never take blame yourself.
Snap Inc. Hit With Securities Class Action Alleging Inflated Growth
A law firm filed a securities class action suit on Tuesday against Snap Inc., alleging the company made false and misleading statements about its user growth.
Pomerantz LLP, which specializes in such cases, is seeking to represent shareholders in the company which went public just two months ago.
The suit notes that Snap’s stock price plunged $4.93, or 21.45%, after its first quarterly report last week showed disappointing user growth. The suit also cites the claims of Anthony Pompliano, a former growth lead for Snapchat, who has filed his own lawsuit alleging that the company was using inflated metrics during his brief tenure there in 2015.

Can anyone explain in Kinder terms what covered call means?
One good alternative to purchase stocks is to sell at or out-of-the-money puts. If you don't get pushed into the position, you'll end up collecting the option premium and you can continue to do that until you get pushed into the position.
I'm not good at stock picking so I just stick to sell VIX calls and puts (to a much lesser extent) because that's what I know and because 60% of all my gains, even if the trade is for a minute, are treated as long-term capital gains per IRS Section 1256 rules (see link below).

It will once the debt market cuts them off. That will be the time to buy just before a competitor scoops them up, which should result in a nice gap up.

Any thoughts on Uber IPO?
Uber began trading on the New York Stock Exchange Friday at $42 per share, below its IPO price of $45. The stock was down more than 2% toward the start of trading.
Uber priced its shares Thursday night toward the low end of its target range of $44 to $50 per share. That gave Uber a valuation of $75.46 billion at its IPO on a non-diluted basis, still well below the $120 billion it was reportedly seeking when news first broke it was preparing to go public. Toward the beginning of its trading, Uber's market cap was around $73 billion.

2/2/17 to now
NFLX 139.20 > 297.81
AMZN 839.95 > 1823.54
AAPL 128.53 > 212.75
DIS 110.61 > 135.76
GOOG 798.53 > 1191.25
TGT 63.68 > 103.20
MSFT 63.17 > 138.94
So simpleton stock picks seem to do well.
For reference:
DOW: 20,851.33 > 26,202.73
S&P: 2,371.54 > 2,924.43
NASDAQ: 5,867.89 > 8,020.2
Sounds good but how many shares do you own?
I hope more than 100 each.
Got it.
Bingo. So it all comes out in this thread. You could of said this long time ago. That you view your house as an investment.

Not sure where you are going with this.
I view my home as a place to live, first and foremost. Over the long haul it can give you good returns but when I am buying I am not looking at a short term turnaround.
That’s why I say that you can buy even if you will only save a nominal amount instead of waiting. It’s just like long hold stocks, you just need to get in and stop worrying about timing the bottom. And better than stocks, you get a tax write off, you don’t have to worry about the woes of renting and you get all the benefits of owning a home.
Previously you said hold stocks for the long term. Then you said housing is better than stocks.Where did I say housing is better than stocks? You might be mixing me up with someone else.
A lot of people worry about buying the peak like the previous article I posted. (Almost everybody likes a bargain. Why do you think TjMax and Roos are doing so well?) When people remodel their home most people don’t over spend for the location of the house. People are savvy and care about the bottom line.
You mean small tax write off owning a home. (Cap on salt deductions)

Sure. But buying a home is not like shopping at TJMaxx or Ross. You can buy at the peak and still be okay as long as you can afford your home and stay long term. Many people just want to stop renting and own a home (there are several TI members who have said that... so no articles, real people).QuoteYou mean small tax write off owning a home. (Cap on salt deductions)
If you consider $10k small, if you own a home less than $1m, that's a good sized write-off. You also forget about the $250k/$500k capital gains exclusion, can't do that with other "investments".

-read your previous posts, it sounds like you view your house as an investment, which explains your rational in other thread and your determination to put your own spin on things
-again the average person is business savvy and they do not want to buy at the peak or over pay for something.
-$10k is small
-btw there was a rumor removal of capital gain exclusion was on the table during the backdoor tax reform conversation. So you never know they might take that away in the future.

Setup descending/ladder limit orders on GE from $6.50 to $5.00 in $0.50 steps (6.50-6.00-5.50-5.00). Not big money, just few hundred dollars per order. $6.50 executed today.
I had 3 stocks under consideration, GE, Ford and MRO. Out of the 3 I think GE has better prospects.

I've been buying small amounts ($100-$300) of various higher risk stocks and REIT's that got hammered. I would not recommend betting your life savings on them.
The much larger purchases go toward S&P 500 ETF's.
If you subscribe to buying stock when there's blood on the streets, cruise operator, airline, REIT's, and oil companies are all bleeding.
While there is always a risk that the company might bleed to death, some companies are less risky than others because the government is likely to step in and perform CPR. The small fry (example, small oil companies) that Uncle Sam deem we can do without, will be left to live or die on their own.
I have slightly more faith in oil ETF's because, sooner or later most of us will return to the gas pump. Airlines is higher risk as businesses may opt for teleconference over business travel, and many people will either choose not to fly, or cannot afford to for their vacation. BUT I don't think the government will let Delta airlines die because air travel is still essential.
Cruise operators is purely leisure and not essential. Carnival managed to raise something like 6.25 billion dollars to keep themselves afloat with stocks, high yield bonds, and convertible bonds. They may return to operation in Aug but who is going to let them dock if there is an infection spread on board? On the other hand, the last shrimp boat afloat after the hurricane gets all the shrimp.
REIT's took such severe beating I would consider them as slot machines. Play responsibly.
What do you think about oil tanker operators?
So it can also hedge as a storage facility. It playing out perfectly currently.
Some of these operate did great during this crisis.
I made a smallish bet on MITT at $2/share this week. This REIT has been severely hammered and if you buy you are betting that it will not bleed to death. They have suspended dividend payment to conserve cash. You should not expect the share price to recover back to $16.

Bought MITT @ $2.20/s last week, sold @ $2.76/s today.
Bought more IVR @ $3/s yesterday.
IVR is paying $0.50 dividend per quarter. So on a $3 stock it's paying $2 dividend/year. I'm using my IRA account for this one. Today (05/19) is the last day to buy for Q2 dividend distribution.
Picked up some ZM, CRWD and WORK earlier today ahead of earnings call. Curious to see how ZM will perform tomorrow. Will it run out of steam from Monday, or continue to climb?
Sold $35 weekly puts on WORK today going into earnings tomorrow and sold $27 monthly puts on RDFN that expire in about 2 weeks.
Sold $35 weekly puts on WORK today going into earnings tomorrow and sold $27 monthly puts on RDFN that expire in about 2 weeks.
WORK crashed today. I'm trying to learn options. How does that affect your $35 put?
These closed at .90c, your position still looks good. Just curious when you sell puts do you ever get called early before expiration or you just hold them until expiration and profit the purchase price minus the closing price at expiry?
Also as the seller can you buy these back at Market price anytime or you’re at the mercy of the expiration date?
Buying KSS @ $27 and setting up downward ladder limit orders $26-$20.
Buying KSS @ $27 and setting up downward ladder limit orders $26-$20.
If you are willing to go long the stock what about selling at the money or in the money puts and get paid a premium?

If you are willing to go long the stock what about selling at the money or in the money puts and get paid a premium?
I'd need to go back and study how to trade options again and play with some paper trades to make sure I really understand, before I'd be comfortable with using real money.
What I do now is I look for stocks that I like, preferably priced at 25% or more below pre-crash price in Feb 2020 (not 52 week high). I'd buy a few thousand dollars (less for higher risk).
Then I'd setup downward ladder limit order steps to 25% below the purchased price. The total value of the limit orders typically add up to 100% of what I paid for in the first purchase. If I really love the stock I might go higher.
So for KSS, say I bought $5,000 at $27.
25% below $27 is $20.
I setup limit orders at $26 25 24 23 22 21 20 (bigger gaps as needed for higher priced stocks)
Each limit order is 5000/7 = $700 ish, more if I really like the stock.
Another example, say if GE is trading at $6.60.
I put in first limit order of $1000 at $6.50.
Then I put in lower limit orders at $6.00, $5.50, and $5.00 at $350 each.
So if the stock continues to rise then none of the limit orders will execute and you only make gains from the initial purchase.
The money put into limit orders are not avail for trade and act like a reserve. If the stock climbs high enough I will cancel the limit orders and reallocate the funds toward another stock purchase.
There is likely a smarter/better and more efficient way to do this.
If you really believe in the company you're buying stock in, maybe you can increase your limit order size for each lower price. So that way, you bought more at $20 than at $26.

?_? Why has WDC (Western Digital) and STX (Segate) stocks not recovered?
I'm eyeing WDC (owns Sandisk) STX and HPE. People working from home still need hard drives and SSD's, and companies still need enterprise services.
HPQ and XRX are cheap but people working from home rarely needs to print office documents. I think with what happened in recent months more people will migrate from print documents to electronic docs.

This is why stocks like DOCU have performed so well lately. That stock is on fire. I'm kicking myself for not getting in when it was about 130/share.
I don't do stocks, but my 401k looks to be almost caught up with the current. There was couple 5 figures lost just within a month or two when FED lowered the interest rates and with Covid-19 stuff started exploding, but those lost figures gained back now. I wonder how much Newsom's attempt to destroy the economy will work this time.

Looking back, one of the financial mistakes or trade-off's I made was not making larger contributions to my 401(k) and ESPP. Had I maxed out my contributions to both 5-6 years ago, that account would be about $200,000 richer today. Instead the money was spent on vacations and cruises. Instead of +$200,000 in the account I ate sushi at Tsukiji fish market and have um... pictures of northern lights and all you can eat crab buffet from Alaska. @_@

I went a little later in the morning to avoid the crowd:Did you stand in line for Daiwa?

Well remember AMZN collapsed to $6 after its first run before it went to $3000. Who the hell knows who survives. All I know is TSLA looks mighty expensive using today's numbers.
TSLA earnings today, any bets? I’m guessing down 8-10% in after hours. Not buying puts though.... super expensive!

The Russian COVID-19 vaccine news is killing biotech stocks now. MRNA/SRNE/IBIO/etc. all getting hammered.
76 People Tried Russia’s Vaccine. It’s a Drop in the Bucket.
News that Russia has effectively approved the world’s first Covid-19 vaccine has lifted stocks, but the coronavirus crisis is far from over. Not many people are known to have tried any of the vaccine candidates being developed.
Data from large trials of at least some of the vaccines should arrive in the fourth quarter of 2020.
Still, the fact that Russia has registered a vaccine is good news. Investors are happy: Europe’s FTSE 100 Index is up 1.7% in overseas trading. Asia’s Hang Seng Index rose 2.1%, and in the U.S., the Dow Jones Industrial Average and S&P 500 were up 1.2% and 0.6%, respectively.
The Russian vaccine, however, was only tested on about 76 people. That’s the bad news embedded in Tuesday’s announcement.

Tesla announce 5 for 1 stock split.
Tesla announce 5 for 1 stock split.
Buy!
For long term play I’d choose AAPL over ISRG. They have a solid customer base (huge market), and good quality products that aren’t fragmented like Android devices.
In 3 years when AAPL is back at $400 post 4for1 split, I’m sure I’ll be wishing I owned more. AAPL will make you rich slowly but surely, just reinvest your dividends and keep DCA buying shares.
I think AAPL is ripe (no pun intended) for a 20% price drop, then I'll back up the truck in the $380's and buy buy buy for the next run-up.It's just been going up despite the pandemic. Why do you think it can plummet 20%?
Woke up early and snagged 20 shares TSLA pre-market (decided not to wait for the dip). As soon as the market opened the feeding frenzy was on. Word on twitter is that there were so many more people who want to buy vs those who want to sell, if you put in an order to buy it'd just sit there for a while.
If the feeding frenzy continues the stock might go over $500 by closing. I have no idea when people will wake up to Tesla's P/E ratio. Many eyes on Tesla's battery day on 9/22 -- will they reveal million mile battery or under-delver?
As for AAPL, historically speaking whenever AAPL had split, the price was down 2 weeks after split. I can't say history will always repeat itself, of course.
I had a friend tell me on Friday that they're doing great with TSLA and if (when) it goes up to its pre-split price, she's going to retire. It reminded me of when I told my boss something similar around March of 2000...that I may not have to work for much longer.
That little comment from her is a blaring alarm siren to me on TSLA, and possibly the market as a whole. Are we there now, or are things even crazier than they were in 2000?
Is TSLA short term run up over?
Is the stock over value? No doubt.
But they have a big fans. I know this guy who owns Tesla stock. He is like in love with Tesla. But since he does not own the car. So he owns the stock.
It is his connection with Tesla.
Probably that is the same with many people.
Also, you got new investors just buying stock without looking at the fundamentals.

But Kodak is not a good representation of the market. Neither is the DJIA. The S&P 500 is flawed due to the concentration of a select few of those 500 companies having the lion's share of the influence on the index value.
The Russell 2000 is probably a better measuring stick and is actually down YTD and only up about 6% for the past 12 months.

AAPL $100-$80.

Perhaps bought up by the same astute investors who bought up the stock offered by bankrupt Hertz.
This was an interesting article below. I was wonder how are folks positioning themselves until end of the year. If folks are to believe this article, what would be the best way to position oneself for a trade? Put options on one of the ETFs? Play the volatility index? Short a particular sector and go long another? Just curious how everyone is trying to game the next several months as I expect there to be significant volatility which can present some great opportunities. Thanks.

I think AAPL is ripe (no pun intended) for a 20% price drop, then I'll back up the truck in the $380's and buy buy buy for the next run-up.It's just been going up despite the pandemic. Why do you think it can plummet 20%?
Who knows. I read 3 articles from “experts” on why the market snowballed today and they all had different explanations. I have learned though to take a queue from historical fluctuations.
If AAPL drops under $100 next week, will definitely be buying a decent amount. The hard part though is to stay the course if it continues to drop to 90, mid 80s, etc. I’ve also learned that buying after a 20-25% drop and holding on through the lows has made me a lot of money over the last 10 years, and I’m ready to do it again.

AAPL never quite got under $100 but I bought some end of September around $115. I’m not confident in this event tomorrow though, it could be Apples “Battery Day” and stock could lose 10%. If it drops under $110 this week, will be buying some more, I think it will slowly rise as they release iPhone pre-sale numbers and get closer to launch day.
I think Tesla will ping $500/share again in the next 2 weeks. Was $440, so that's a 14% gain...
Can someone please explain the madness surrounding GME speculation? I'm not sure what subReddit has done here, but they just manipulated the market big time over the past few days.
Now, billionaire investors are getting skin in the game and benefiting from this ridiculousness! SMH.

This is like 1999 all over again. They lure in the masses then cut off their heads. All these would be Bud Fox's/Robin Hoods are about to learn a valuable...and expensive lesson in the stock and crypto markets. Some things never change.
It’s douches like Ackman that screw up the average investor. This guy shot off his mouth on the 18th. Tanked the markets after he had established a massive short position. Then covered, pocketed 3 billion that he promptly put into the exact stocks he highlighted as in trouble. That is market manipulation and those the listened to him should be embarrassed.
Bill Ackman warned ‘hell is coming’ because of virus: He then pocketed $2B in bets against markets
Bill Ackman turned a net profit of more than $2 billion on Monday after he sold his bets against the market less than one week after warning CNBC that “hell is coming”
He then used those proceeds to wager that existing Pershing bets, including hotel operator Hilton Worldwide, would rebound.
The Ackman about-face came less than one week after he told CNBC that the United States was in jeopardy unless the White House closed the country.
That he added to his Hilton position using the money he earned from his bets against the market is notable after saying the stock could be headed to zero.

There is nothing wrong with short selling...like playing the Don't Come line. Just need to always marry it with a call just in case. These are big boys going against the mob. Would not want to bump heads with Blackrock in this little standoff. Robin Hood will lose big in the end. Well as the old saying will prove true again...A fool and his money....
Looks like RobinHood has blocked me from buying GME. So much for a free market.

Tesla announces first EVER annual profit with earnings of $721 million in 2020 - but Elon Musk's firm falls short of Wall Street expectations
Tesla saw its stock soar in 2020 to make it the world´s most valuable automaker
The company earned $721 million, capped by a $270 million profit in Q4
It was Tesla's sixth straight quarterly net profit after years of mostly losses
Tesla said that excluding special items, it made $2.24 per share for the year, falling short of Wall Street expectations of $2.45
Earlier this month Tesla's market cap passed $800 billion for the first time ever
Once again the company needed regulatory credits purchased by other automakers in order to make a profit. Without $1.58 billion in credits for the year, Tesla would have lost money. Other automakers buy the credits when they can't meet emissions and fuel economy standards.

The 2020 Hurricane season is the new champ and weighs in at $54.51 billion in damage (and probably still counting).

The only reason the losses are so high now is the value of that coastal real estate and allowing people to develop flood basins and fire zones. The value is driven by so many people allowed to develop those places. If you live in a flood or fire zone (as I do) you accept and probably insure your risk...it is on you.

If you dive a little deeper into this, it becomes a lot more than just retail investors vs. hedge funds.
Regulators fell asleep at the switch, allowing a stock to be shorted 140% of available shares should have been the bigger story to begin with.
WSB showed how easily finance reporters and regulators default to defending the hedge funds they're supposed to be holding accountable.
Unfortunately that's not sexy enough to grab headline attentions...
so we are stuck with this "oh no! the wrong people are manipulating the stock market" narrative.

While I agree there was likely a regulatory shortfall, I don't really think it was in allowing the short interest to high. In my opinion, if you look at the chart and timing, the WSB noise on the 13th and through the 21st it was a minor squeeze event.
Then it totally blew up. Blew up right when all the financial media started picking up the story. CNBC, Motley Fool, down to the youtubers blaring easy $200 Grand a year.
JIMHO, the bulk of financial media is a boiler room pumping panic and hype on everything for eyeballs. Newsmax for the jonesing to be rich. That's the regulatory gap, IMHO.
Robinhood CEO interview was a joke. The CEO mentioned they decided to halt buy orders for certain stocks because of a liquidity issue. The moderator then asked what liquidity issue is there and if there is it would lead to more questions. He then immediately said there were no liquidity issues right after. Like what the hell...?
I read it was 2 shares maximum that RH will allow a buyer to purchase.
Me? I'm long Marie Antoinette Industries (NYSE: CHOP) as this is the eventual terminus point whenever the masses get in a twist like this.

Yeah, after they got a lifetime of another $2.4B on top of the $1B they got last week. Let's see how much longer until they need more capital. I'm glad I've stayed with TDAmeritrade over the years.
I like the builder stocks...LEN, DHI, and TOL along with Zillow.
If worthless companies go sky high. I am out of the stock market.
I see another crash based on valuation.

I like the builder stocks...LEN, DHI, and TOL along with Zillow.
Of these, I like DHI the best and think it'd be profitable investment for 2021. However buyers need to be aware that in previous housing bubble, the stock price of these companies crashed hard from 2005 to 2009.
GME continues it slow burn, and by slow burn I mean basically orbital re-entry. Currently at 62.
The stock prior to September ran sub 2 million shares a day, in September its quite clear the stock went into play price and volume moves that stuck for months. The reddit pumpers took early January before the reddit push, holding 50,000 shares and somewhere picking up another 500 calls (50,000 shares). Just a small fry taking a million dollar plus swing. Cheerleading the WSB to hold the line while saying he was going to update less often.
Where will GME settle out? With astock that trades 2 million shares it takes very few keep it bubbly. Is it a $5 stock, $10, $20 or $50 with diamond hands refusing to let go? It only has 50M shares out.
Bought AQB on dip today.

Dang Lennar, DR, Zillow, and Redfin had a great week.
With vaccine rollout, there is pent up demand in retail, amusement, tourism, travel, and home shopping. Perhaps 2Q 2021 or after.
There are still many value stocks and sector stocks that are undervalued from last year, versus internet/tech/etc. stocks that have been greatly inflated. At some point we may see the inflated stocks deflate, and money flowing back to sectors that recover toward profitability.

What do smarties here think of Palantir for the long term investment?I’ve been eying this one as well. I do t know if it will be the next Tesla but having the government as a major customer provides some protection to the downside.
I have just started doing the research and I like it so far.
2020 revenue $1B
TAM is $120B
Their business model is Business to Business, and Business to Govt. services, worldwide, industry agnostic. My interpretation, kinda sorta recession-proof, and not much real competition to what they do.
In the next 5 years, even if they capture only 10-20% of TAM, that is significant growth and it will show in the stock price.
Another way I was looking at it. S&P500 companies generate 11.35T revenue. If just those 500 companies spend 1% for PLTR services to capture value out of their operations, that is 113B spend. The other hald can come from Govt contracts. And, this is just US. Intl, govt. and businesses are not even factored in.
I am probably getting ahead of myself here but is this next TSLA?

Few random thoughts today
* Taiwan’s drought is hitting semiconductor companies like TSM ASX (ASE) UMC etc. causing stock dips. The annual plum rain season usually starts in may and can rain for a month. Can’t say for sure if drought will continue this year or the rain season will refill reservoirs. The stocks might be a good gamble on dip.
* GM has EV line from $4500 mini EV in China (outselling Tesla 2:1) to $130k EV hummer in US. Compare to Tesla GM’s P/E seems far more sensible.
* Ex chief of Apple’s CPU design bailed to setup his own company couple years back. Qualcomm is buying them for $1.4 billion. The guy took Apple’s Crown Jewels with him when he left (M1/SoC design) and wanted to sell to high end server market. Qualcomm will likely have mass market ambitions. Expect Apple lawsuits to fly, but if Qualcomm is successful they will go head to head vs AMD and Nvidia.
how do you see AMD long term with its competitors?
I think about middle of MAR a lot.who knows. But if you bought in increments these past days, I have a feeling you will do well for the rest of the year...
It was last year in MAR when the stock market was lowest.
It was MAR of 2009 when the stock market was lowest.
Is it time to buy the dip?
hmm...
So AMD is buying XLNX with stock swap of 1.734 AMD shares per share of XLNX.
At today's prices AMD is $76 x 1.734 = $131.
XLNX is trading at $116.
Does this make buying XLNX at $15 discount to AMD shares? Assuming the deal is still on?

NVDA and TSM stocks account for almost 20% of my IRA, I need to diversify my purchases. With the latest government plan to invest in domestic semiconductor sector, it might be worth looking at intel, micron and global foundries (IPO pending) again. For those interested look up Micron's 1-alpha DRAM tech that doesn't require EUV.
I've acquired a small open position in SMG (Scotts Miracle Grow) on dip. Rather than buying weed stocks I'll buy SMG which owns Hawthorne division, top seller of hydroponics equipment to weed industry.

Setting limit orders on small positions for FL and LEVI today.
FL stores are usually inside malls, however since they believe many malls have... dim future prospects, FL decided to open large stand alone "power stores" like KSS. Due to COVID-19 last year the store openings were paused, but has since restarted.

Aren't you guys too lazy to make the effort to drive to a shoe store nowadays? I just order on zappos and return with free shipping both ways if it doesn't fit.
Setting limit orders on small positions for FL and LEVI today.

Supply chain issues?
Yeah, but not all have known supply issues.I would say 80%+ high growth tech names have no dependency on supply chain issues besides semiconductors that I'm aware of. But that just means they can increase the price of the chips since everyone and their mother need them right now.
Sleepy, we only lost like 5ish percent on the nasdaq. Wait until the real crash then you can buy at the 50% off sale.5% on nasdaq but 15%+ on individual high quality names like DOCU, FIVN, CRWD, SQ, etc. I never believe in timing the market. A 50%+ crash is honestly not likely unless interest rates go up or some dramatic event happens. March 2020 was arguably the latest market "crash" that we had and those happen generally every 8 years.
Also feels like I should buy CVS stock. When the Biden mandate hits, 30% of American adults will have to test weekly to keep their jobs. I figure many of them will be running to Walgreens or CVS for this.
Dan Grant is fed up with “wokeness.” He’s sick of such companies as Nike Inc. and Coca-Cola Co. taking liberal positions on social justice issues. “People are tired of woke companies, tired of wokeness overall, and tired of companies putting their social justice activism ahead of generating profits for their shareholders,” Grant says, sitting in a small Nashville office festooned with dinosaur fossils and a pet Australian snake-necked turtle named Melvin.
The former JPMorgan Chase & Co. banker is betting that the 74 million people who, like him, voted for Donald Trump are mad about it, too—mad enough to buy shares of his company’s exchange traded funds, which invest in companies Grant and his colleagues deem unwoke. That means they lean right politically or are at least neutral in their activism and donations. Grant is chief executive officer of 2ndVote Advisers, a small group of politically conservative money managers pushing against what they see as a stampede toward left-leaning, socially conscious investing on Wall Street.

I thought about picking up ZM after the big drop post earnings. Wonder if Nu variant will have any effect on WFH.ZM is a one trick pony atm. How many clients can you get until the market is saturated? Growth prospects is lower and lots of competition (Teams, Webex). I don't think ZM is a WFH stock. WFH simply expedited the adoption of it.

I think FB is going to $150 maybe lower. GOOG and TSLA still at good buy points though..
Would not touch FB with a 8 foot pole. Mark is using FB for his personal fantasy like metaverse , AR BS instead of focusing on real business growth. To add insult to injury, Apple and Google make it harder for FB to do target advertisements.

I'm a dinosaur who doesn't even have a FB account. There are some things I don't like about FB. High burn rate, ugly chart. But it seems to me if they're on the ground floor in creating the metaverse, they'll be first in line to collect the rents. Microsoft is right their with them, and they aren't stupid either. And no, FB is not poised as a growth company. Can you guess their PE ratio without looking? Hint: It took me a while to find a predominantly B&M retail chain that has a lower PE than FB.
Buying a little more FB and Google...
Buying a little more FB and Google...Are you factoring Facebook’s issue with Europe?
what's invisible to many is the sheer collection of engineering talent Meta has. They can be good at building whatever they want. Good engineers are THE most valuable commodity. Make sure your children major in CS/EE.

Another blood bath today.
Sentiment is super bearish, yet investors are buying the dip. Perhaps they aren't as bearish as the reports suggest. The only question is how much dry powder do they have as liquidity continues to drain.

With both fists...be selective, lots of chart breakdowns but lots of opportunities. Traded long SQ on earnings yesterday. Love these markets!! Remember...
IT’S A MARKET OF STOCKS, NOT A STOCK MARKET
So what is the story behind FL.
When Nike released q1 earnings they talked about supply chain. Also, Nike is selling dtc through its website and app.
I guess I dont see the buzz behind Foot locker.
SQ was a great call. Do you use earning whispers to check up-coming company earnings calls?
I bought some WEAT, CORN and SOYB. Not as exciting.

Basically everything I said is true regarding Nike. (this is back in October 2021)

I cancelled my limit orders on FL and NKE earlier this week. Hoping the stock will drop more.
Did you at least put the stock Eye?

Added some INTC yesterday...essentially at a bottom with a +3% dividend yield...that's a longer term gimme.They'll have to cut the dividend to sustain the capex required, which still lags TSMC and banks on the Fed subsidy which hasn't passed Congress yet. Long term they'll win as they finally have competent leadership for the first time in 2 decades but the ride will be rough and there is lots more downside as they bleed data center market share to AMD and Arm variants.
But intel is behind the other chip makers in terms of current products and pipeline. *according to analysts
(not investment advice, just an opinion and not facts)
I like Target at $55. 11PE. 4.3% dividend. Whats not to like?
Wow -- didn't realize how much they have fallen -- Used to have them as my retail stock but swapped with Costco last year -- you think its a good bet to swap again ?
Target needs to get their online presence act together. Their website is awful and that's where the growth opportunities are right now. That's why Walmart is starting to look better.

Who cares...they still dominate the space and at this point are a value play...like my call on TGT at $55.00...a no brainer.I like Target at $55. 11PE. 4.3% dividend. Whats not to like?

It’s about time. Amazon finally splits its stocks. I am getting few thousand shares for free.😀
On a serious note, this is the first time Amazon ever buys back stocks if I remember correctly
I'm eyeing WDC (owns Sandisk) STX and HPE. People working from home still need hard drives and SSD's, and companies still need enterprise services.
HPQ and XRX are cheap but people working from home rarely needs to print office documents. I think with what happened in recent months more people will migrate from print documents to electronic docs.
This is why stocks like DOCU have performed so well lately. That stock is on fire. I'm kicking myself for not getting in when it was about 130/share.
I think DOCU is a great stock to buy (earlier) for the quarantine. But I have some doubts regarding the long term outlook. I've used DOCU for real estate docs a number of times and ran into bugs and issues, but those are easily fixed. What concerns me is how the company makes money and the low barrier of entry in this segment.
Consider, it may be a large task to service e-sign documents for many segments, but a competitor only needs to service one (or more). For example, someone else -- such as redfin, zillow, trulia, realtor.com, opendoor, or corelogic could come up a competing e-doc service specific to real estate and eat DOCU's market share. Same applies for other market segments. What if Ernst & Young and Experian wanted a piece of the action? I don't believe DOCU has high level of customer loyalty. Also unlike netflix, it's not like you can have exclusive license on common RE purchase or legal forms.

Sold KSS to buy Google and Amazon ahead of split.
If you hold KSS I think there is still potential to make more money from the buyout. But I like Google and Amazon's 20:1 split better.
Is anyone buying anything?
I have a few limit orders on SSO.
Earlier this week I told my coworker in Ukraine that if he wanted to leave he should go right away. He is probably stuck on the road in heavy traffic now.

Do you think the consumer will continue to spend? Otherwise what is your reasoning for buying AXP?
Averaging down on AXP (yes I'm that nut who is still buying)
