OT: Stock and Investment Talk

[rutgersdave]

I can't find a market wide %.

But Market Chameleon will give you a stock by stock post earnings performance for the last 12 qtrs.

UBER(which is down a bunch this morning on earnings) was higher in 8 of the last 12.

NVDA higher 8 of 12.

AAPLE higher 8 of 12.

AMZN higher 6-12.

MSFT 6-12.

META 6-12.

TSLA higher 7-12.

GOOGLE higher 7-12.

I generally trade in AMZN, MSFT, META and GOOG. They don’t go straight up and before the next earning report will drop 5-10% before going up again. I reduced my equity exposure to 60% after the sale which is high for my age which should be closer to 30%. I expect a drop at some point before increasing my stock exposure again.

I assume that is a large chunk of their business.

I have lost track on what else they do/own.

Getting hammered by HII today.

One of my longest term , and one of my bigger positions, that I will soon get out of. Hoping for some level of bounce though.

 

[T2Kplus20]

Down a bunch, but still at a decent level.

A slight miss on bookings seems to be what the market is focused on?

Internet lines and streaming?

Is there a movie studio associated with them as well?

I literally have no idea what that is. LOL!

I figure that is adjusted EPS. But $1.20 over a year is $4.80. The stock is below $80 right now. Cheap.

Yes, Universal:

5 Companies Owned by Comcast

AT&T Broadband, NBCUniversal, Sky, DreamWorks Animation, and XUMO are major companies owned by Comcast.

I'm adding. UBER is part of my core custom basket.

Military contractor. Ship builder. Nuclear subs and other vessels.

They own AT&T broadband? That's weird.

But yeah, multiple studios apparently.

Got it. I have a few defensive/military names in the basket (via FS Insights). By the way, if you had to buy one out of SBUX, NKE, and BA.....which one?

I was looking at SBUX leap calls and they are very expensive.

Been thinking BA lately.

I know it's one bad headline after another, but the stock has held it's ground in the $150's. If they can get their shit together a ton of upside.

Not jumping in now, but watching.

They have $500B in back orders. The market is essentially a duopoly. The new SBUX CEO is proven and kicked butt at CMG. Both seem like viable options.

Uber is already one of my bigger positions otherwise I would add here. I think it’s a monster long term play although I would rather that they stick to the platform and forget about making a big deal with the CEO’s former company (which I find problematic anyway).

See my video above with the UBER CEO. He pretty much shot down the Expedia idea. And I agree with you, stay focused on your core business.

Good Starbucks conversation at 1:19:01. They talked about how they’ve grown the last few years based off of sugary drinks and not coffee and how the increased use of GLP1’s has coincided with stock slide.

 

[RUAldo]

Seems to me that all the earnings reactions today completely overblown. Nitpicky BS. There is still so much cash in the sidelines my guess is fresh money will buy these dips.

I like the new CEO but he has his work cut-out for him. Will take a massive turnaround. I’ve been a life-long customer and the experience and prices are terrible. If I wasn’t a creature of habit or had another interesting option, I would have bailed long ago. Dutch Bros pushes piles of sugar in their drinks and lines are out the door. Not to mention SBUX food menu sucks - SOS. And it’s not like they are customizing food they literally take a previously frozen sandwich out of a plastic bag and stick it in a convection oven. How about some local collaborations with bakeries? A Krispy Kreme donut partnership? Regional sandwiches like sell taylor ham in tri-state area?

They definitely covered the awful customer experience. Theirs stores are usually trashed whenever I’ve gone. I’ve made the switch to a local place

I’m buying MSFT now down 25 to $407 but think the bottom around $395-400.

Buying META at the $566 expect bottom at $563.

Brought some UBER at $70 and added to my Tech ETFs.

Pre election selling?

Bitcoin all time high coming on the day before MSTR earnings. There’s a fun one to play

$42B offering announced during earnings call yesterday. It was down 8-9% after hours, now green on the day. What he’s doing with these offerings to then buy Bitcoin is unbelievable. Currently up $8 billion on his Bitcoin holdings.

I guess he thinks BTC price will go up. :)
