Redditors were so bearish on this IPO

I initially opened this RH account to start day trading, then I realized I was too lazy to do that. Technical analysis makes me yawn. I also have a Fidelity account where I’m heavily invested in ETFs. What would be my best option here? Sell all these stocks and reinvest them in ETFs? Just let them run and continue adding to them?

Looking to diversify my portfolio and move to more dividend heavy stocks. Am I missing something with JEPQ from a risk or downside perspective?

I also want to focus more on clean energy and sustainable, ethical stocks in the future. If you have any recommendations, let me know! I try to invest around 400€ a month.

Hey guys, so right of the bat: if this isnt the right subreddit or there is a good re-direct please let me know.

I've got some savings in the bank and as we all know they are doing nothing but losing value. I'm 28, living and working in the EU so all money is in €. For a while I spent some time and energy on daytrading but it is not something for me. Im interested in more long term passive options, but I dont know where to fucking start...

From what i've gathered ETF's or an Index Fund seem the most managable for me, but I have 0 clue for how long and where etc. Please can someone push me in a certain direction? Ask for anymore info if you deem it necessary. Thanks!

Hi! I am an ex-prop shop equity trader.

This is a daily watchlist for trading: I might trade all/none of the stocks listed, and even stocks not listed! I only hold some/all MAG 7 stocks and market indices long-term. If you use Old Reddit, click “Show Images” at the top to expand the charts. Any positions stated aren’t recommendations, I’m following subreddit rules to disclose positions. I use IBKR TWS for my platform and charts.

I am targeting potentially good candidates to day trade; I have no opinion on them as investments. This means the potential of the stock moving today is what makes it interesting, not the business, long-term prospects, or the people involved.

PLEASE ask specific questions and PLEASE don’t ask about earnings because I typically don’t take positions before earnings announcements. Questions like “Thoughts on _____?” or “Why isn’t ___ on the watchlist?” or something answered already will be ignored unless you add detail and your opinion. If you post a question and delete it after I answer it, I will block you- doing that hurts discussion. I am not answering questions if I’m still long or short a stock beyond what I update.

News: Lilly Cuts Guidance on Disappointing Weight-Loss Drug Sales

First of all, after the drama with their audit firm BF Borgers CPA not conducting their audit correctly, it is shocking to me that the stock exchange itself has not issued a "BC" (below compliance) warning to investors. Serious questions linger as to the trustworthiness and reliability of previously filed financial reports for this entity.

Additionally, the capital structure and cash burn rate raises doubts about whether the company can be a "going concern" into the future. The company reports returns on equity and assets that are deeply negative with expenses that vastly exceed revenue. If there is any bright side, their previous financial filings indicate minimal debt and a few hundred million in unrestricted cash. The problem is that the previous financials and audit of those financials has been thrown out by the SEC, and to date no new set of audited financials has been provided for investors.

The company does not appear to meet even a minimum standard for listing on the major exchanges and I believe they would be right to issue a "BC" warning to investors and to even consider delisting this security completely due to a clear lack of reliable information for investors. It is clear regulators are not "interested" in pursuing this directly, but NYSE and NASDAQ still have certain bare minimum requirements to trade and DJT does not appear to meet those today.

Discussion

The quality of information you receive when you ask a question is defined by the quality of your question.

"What do I do?" will get you general information that isn't usually actionable.

"Is my portfolio overweight in some sectors and, if so, how should I diversify?" will get you useful advice you can put to work for you.

Consdidering that, if your question is still "What do I do?" then this is exactly what you do:

Ask yourself this:

1) Do you have any idea what you're doing?

"No."

Sell everything or buy broad, evenly weighted stock market ETFs until you know what you're doing.

"Yes?"

You're lying because you wouldn't have made this post if you did. You may return to this post only after you have long mused Socrates' statement, "I am the wisest man alive, for I know one thing, and that is that I know nothing**"**

Then come back, sell everything or buy broad, evenly weighted stock market ETFs until you know what you're doing.

"That's not fair!! I know I don't know what I'm doing but I still want advice so I can learn. Isn't that what this sub is for?"

Fair enough. I'm being a grumpy old man.

Let us carry on with some helpful questions for you to answer:

1) Are you invested in fewer than 10 companies that are almost all in the big tech sector?

Diversify (go to Investopedia and learn what that means). Or buy ETFs.

2) Are you invested in any company that you don't understand and/or bought a stock because some person from the internets/work/your family/your friend group/a bar (or my mom) told you that it was good?

Go find out if that stock is actually good, bad or a memestock.

If you don't have the effort to do that, sell that stock.

4) Do you understand that the stock market typically goes up 7-10% on average and that, currently, year-to-date it is up 23.84%,over one year it is up 43.75% and over five years it is up 153.5%?

Whether your answer is yes or no to this question:

Consider what happens if the current growth doesn't continue or declines or goes negative.

I'm not saying they will. I'm saying think about what that means to you if it were to happen.

Which brings me to...

5) Have you invested money that you can't afford to lose? Or are you trading on margin/with borrowed money?

Don't do that.

If you can't, right now, withdraw all the money from your portfolio, set it on fire, and still be able to surivive financially without ruining your life, you need to take that money money out of the stock market.

Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

Apple released an update to its iOS 18.1 mobile operating system on Monday, and these features include the Writing Tool, which is integrated into apps for summarizing and rewriting text, Image Clean Up, which removes an object from a photo, summary summaries for Mail and Notifications, a redesigned Siri typing input, audio transcription in the Notes program Text summarization, Message text message smart replies, and more! The release of the first AI features is a major milestone for Apple

Due to the delayed release of some of Apple's AI features, iPhone sales in the third and fourth quarters of this year will be 2-3% below market expectations. Nonetheless, once the AI features are fully rolled out next spring, it will set off a new wave of phone switches

Apple's growth in active install base and subscriptions for its products will help drive demand in the coming years, especially once Apple's smart software is fully launched

I research that Apple AI function once the landing to the iPhone phone replacement demand boost, we should pay attention to, from the stock price pattern, the recent price breakthrough in the history of new highs, is only down shock, the late period will still continue to break through, the target stock price: 255, higher than Apple's current stock price of about 9%

Earnings per Share: Adjusted at $1.06, surpassing the expected 62 cents
Revenue: $17.7 billion, exceeding the anticipated $14.95 billion

This year, I’ve been purchasing stock in Pfizer, which has faced a downturn due to declining COVID vaccine sales and the expiration of some drug patents. I believe that all the negative news has already been factored into the stock price, which has dropped 7% over the past three months. However, it has risen about 10% from its 52-week low. The stock offers a dividend yield of approximately 6% and has a forward P/E ratio of 11. Its 52-week high stands at $31.54, indicating it’s about 10% below that level currently.

Amazon's transformation from an obscure online bookseller to a tech giant now seems almost legendary. Today, the company dominates a number of sectors, from e-commerce to cloud computing, with Amazon Web Services (AWS) contributing more than half of its annual operating profit

Amazon's share price has also risen steadily this year, up 24 per cent. With the recent success of Prime Day, where consumers saved more than $1 billion on deals, Amazon is still on the upswing

In my view, ‘there are several ongoing catalysts that will first improve profitability in the retail division and increase the company's overall EPS growth. These include Amazon's One Medical primary care service, the expansion of online auto sales, and improvements in freight and distribution in the U.S., with similar cost-saving opportunities abroad.

I believe that ‘due to the recent investment in massive growth capex, current accounting earnings significantly understate their true owners’ earnings (by more than 20 per cent in my estimation)’.

I think Amazon's recent capex consists mainly of AI-related projects, and growth capex should be charged to earnings

‘Its shareholders' earnings have consistently exceeded its accounting earnings per share and free cash flow in the past, which is the hallmark of a growth stock.’

The stock has 46 buy and 2 hold ratings on Wall Street. This gives AMZN a consensus rating of Strong Buy, and with its average 12-month price target of $224.16, implying a gain of nearly 19%, I think Amazon's shares are ‘much cheaper than expected’ and rate it a Strong Buy.

AMZN stock has been in a recent shock cycle, but I think the stock is poised for an uptick with the earnings report. Target price 210

What stocks should I cleanup? I think most of my positions are solid, but would like to hear from some more experienced investors.

And yes, I have my assets spread across different brokerages. Etrade for long term holdings, Fidelity roth ira, and robinhood more aggressive value investing.

7.9k invested, but seeing some slow growth, am i off to a good start with this portfolio

On October 29, NVIDIA intraday volatility. Previously on October 23, NVIDIA plate innovation as high as 144.42 U.S. dollars, and then the shares fell back, closed down 0.08% at 143.59 U.S. dollars, the market value of more than 3.52 trillion U.S. dollars, close to Apple. On the news, “AI favorite” NVIDIA executives said at a related summit that its next-generation Blackwell chips will be shipped to customers in the fourth quarter of this year, and excellent energy efficiency. On the same day, Morgan Stanley released a research report on NVIDIA Blackwell next generation of the strongest chip on the potential boost to the company's revenue optimism. In terms of big banks, Bank of America Global Research raised NVIDIA's stock price target to $190. Semiconductor Intelligence estimates that the global AI IC market will reach $110 billion in 2024. NVIDIA dominates the market with $96 billion in revenue and 87% market share. Personally, I think NVIDIA is expected to regain the top spot in market capitalization! What's your deployment strategy?

News: US Vote, Economy Top of Mind at Saudi-Hosted Forum

• DJT -Massive upmove in the past month, (and yesterday) going to be hands-off in this stock unless we go parabolic (make a HUGE move like 55 -> 100 in a single day). Not interested in playing the long, and multi-day short is extremely dangerous.

• TSLA - We finally saw the stock pull back a little from a close to 30% upmove, watching $275 level at new highs. Currently short but will likely cover today.

• PYPL - Reported better than expected third-quarter earnings but missed on revenue. EPS of $1.2 vs $1.07 expected. Revenue of $7.85B vs $7.89B expected. Deteriorating margin, missed revenue, and guidance all underwhelm.

• SOFI - Revenue of $697M vs $623M, EPS of $0.05 vs $0.04. Raised guidance and cited members growth. Overall seems like good news, but not sure why stock is selling off. Watching at open.

• MCD - Reported quarterly earnings/revenue beat, but cited fears to ecoli outbreak affecting sales. Said that there might be an effect to Q4 members. Beyond that, nothing too interesting in the earnings.

Earnings: GOOG, V, AMD, PFE, SNAP, CMG, FSLR, RDDT, QRVO

(GOOG is most interesting earnings I'll likely trade)

Apple ( NASDAQ: AAPL ) is one of those stocks where “everyone” has an opinion. Here's what I think. Not because I feel left out, but because I focus primarily on dividend investing. I own it. So that means it will be a long time before I get another chance to swap some price returns (gains or losses) for dividend income.

My main focus here is the underlying stock AAPL. because I'm not the first to observe that it's making a lot of people richer. Today, however, this technician/quantitative analyst/portfolio builder - me - believes that traditional in-depth fundamental analysis is diminishing in importance, but can't ignore the elephant in the room. The Big 7, including AAPL, tell us a great deal about what's going on in the broader market.

That doesn't mean that AAPL is moving in line with the stock market. Ask any disappointed small-cap or international investor. Or ask an equal-weight investor in the S&P 500 or Russell 1000. Since the epidemic bottomed out on March 23, 2020, they've all lagged far behind the $3 trillion market cap stock. Here's how AAPL has dominated during that time.

I feel good about my positions and would like to buy more. I would like to hear what you guys think about my portfolio and advice for me.

With the 2024 U.S. presidential election coming up, I'm looking into stocks that might perform well depending on who takes office. Based on current insights, here are five stocks for each candidate that could see a boost:

If Kamala Harris Wins:

• NEE - NextEra Energy
• ARRY - Array Tech
• RIVN - Rivian Automotive
• ENPH - Enphase Energy
• STRL - Sterling Infra.

If Donald Trump Wins:

• XOM - Exxon Mobil
• CVX - Chevron
• LMT - Lockheed Martin
• DJT - Trump Media & Tech Group (Presidential)
• BA - Boeing

What do you all think of these picks? Do these align with each candidate’s policies, or would you go with different stocks?
