OT: Stock and Investment Talk
- Thread starter RU-05

Fortune favors the brave. If the celebrities tell you to buy, you must buy it.
Feel sorry for all those that bought gold due to those commercials and infomercials.
Schiff is a genius. Tweet about gold- 57k views. Tweet about Bitcoin- 832k views. He’s probably making $250k a year on Twitter thanks to the Bitcoin hate replies and putting right back into gold.
Schiff has been calling for everything to crash, except gold, for the past 15 years. Hard to take him seriously.
Nice day, sold over half of META but probably buy back when it goes down. Been increasing my CRM, got a long way to go to get to 52 week high.

I’m waiting for Elon to start “tweeting” about how Bitcoin should really be added to the Table of Elements.
Amazing past 18 months. I really hope everyone in the thread has been overweight big tech and growth. Added to my CRM position after the dip. Paid off very well so far!
MSFT melted up to $467 today. It is stonk and priced to perfection so if hedgies want to hedge or take profits then please do so at your own peril. Fed funds rate will be cut at least twice this year probably so 2025 looks like more of the same regarding the AI narrative and some P/E multiples stay a bit “stretched.”
How can one tell when a stock is a stonk? I’m not 100% certain, but don’t ask Cathie Wood because ARKK has a whole bunch of UIPATH in it.

Question is: Is Bitcoin actually scarce or does it just have a limited supply?
That's a supply and demand question. Since the price of BTC has gone from $1 to $55,000 in 15 years, that proves scarcity.
NVDA has taken a breather for a while and I'm sure MSFT will do the same in the future. However, that doesn't change the fact that MSFT will be one of the big AI winners, so HODL!
I wonder about the whole “double ordering” thing I keep hearing about regarding NVDA. Not really sure if it is a material concern for their future revenue but I do hear it mentioned a lot…that and the fact that the BigTech titans are looking to make their own AI chips soon. My 401K does have quite a bit of NVDA in it percentage-of-total-holdings-wise so I’m certainly thrilled about the AI bump with that stock.
Maybe this AI ramp up hit at just the right time as I’m approaching retirement and would not be thrilled at all with another decade like the aughts returns-wise.
Double ordering is a myth. NVDA/Jensen know who is ordering what and issues the appropriate guidance. Actually, they have a history of being very conservative with guidance. BigTech making chips are for applications, not running LLMs. And remember, once you buy NVDA chips you are also committing to the NVDA Cuda ecosystem and software. The moat is massive.
All signs point to this being very early in the new AI paradigm. First comes the equipment (NVDA). Then comes the makers of the technology/models (MSFT, META, GOOGL, OpenAI). Then comes the applications to the consumers (AAPL). And so on. Surely, there will be bumps in the journey, but AI is truly a revolution for society.
As with everything, manage your risk and needs with appropriate positioning and exposure.
I’m now super-overweight MSFT across all accounts but not rich enough nor old enough to now get conservative so I gotta figure out where to dip the toe in again given the stretched valuations as cash will be trash again soon enough.

If Bill Gates held his MSFT, he would be a trillionaire now. Instead he listened to that no-nothing Buffet and diversified. Now he’s barely worth $120 billion. Don’t risk not being a trillionaire.
Cannot and will not risk it!
I’m using non-retirement account funds to enhance my diversified 401K returns as I don’t wish to buy an expensive car or some such.
Diversification via an SP500 index fund was certainly the way to go for a 401K the past couple of years especially in today’s AI driven market with “no-longer-zero” interest rates (Fed certainly hates being at ZIRP but must soon loosen) and the persistent international/emerging market opacity regarding anything regulatory and ongoing friend/re-shoring risks and Europe’s persistent lack of real growth.

And what would MSFT be if it didn't have access to the cash it got from issuance of stock and the compensation to employees of stock vs. cash? Some of those shares were originally held by Gates.
I’m running out of sarcastic responses in hopes that your sarcasm meter adjusts. I must bow out at this point.
Corning CEO on CNBC this morning. He is very very bullish on the company, driven by AI as they are key in the internet-enabling optical fiber as well as glass components for the semiconductor industry.
Josh Brown had been pushing the stock the last month or two
I hope people got a chance to get in today. Although it opened up about 5%, it climbed another 7% throughout the day. It’s been on a nice run since my purchases in May and Nov. 2023.

Still holding INTC. Got it in the high $20s via our Roth IRAs which are lightly managed. Interesting story for a long, slow play.
Tsla looking like it wants to crack $300 before 8/8. Internet rumors of Uber co-founder and former CEO Travis Kalanick leading up the Robotaxi division were fun while they lasted.
Bought some this morning. $34.50.
Sold Gild at a bit of a loss to finance the purchase.
I'm just about to pull the trigger on a new GEV position. Hoping for it to dip below $170. Eyeing two additional biotechs.
