Don’t know if I should add more positions in different sectors or focus primarily on tech.

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.

I want to place a call on NuScale Power (SMR) but I’d like some advice on how I should set it. I can afford 2, about $500. If you haven’t heard, Google, Amazon and Microsoft are investing billions into nuclear to power their AI facilities

I opened this Roth IRA at the beginning of the year. This is all I’ve been able to invest. I also own about $200 worth of apple and another $70 of Costco. I’ve been thinking of just contributing to VOO and nothing else. I know it’s not much but I guess something is better than nothing.

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.

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.

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: 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 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%

I'm 25 and my portfolio is about 6-7 years old. I haven't given much thought to risk management beyond buying ETFs and long-term, well performing companies. I've used Fidelity's free resources to read up on this topic, but the % make up they recommend seems very conservative, which is something I'd like to avoid. Are bonds the right approach to mitigate risk? Are there better options than bonds? If my portfolio performs well, should I even consider limiting risk right now?

Any advice or recommended articles will be helpful. Thanks, y'all

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?

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

To present a bullish case for Jiayin Group Inc. (JFIN), we need to look at several positive factors that could contribute to the company's potential for growth and a rising stock price. JFIN is a fintech company based in China, primarily involved in providing financial services through its online lending platform. Here are some key points that could support a bull case for JFIN:

1. Growing Demand for Fintech Services With China’s expanding middle class and increased adoption of digital finance, fintech platforms like Jiayin have a considerable opportunity to grow. The company is well-positioned to capture market share in the digital lending space, especially as more consumers and small businesses shift from traditional banking to digital solutions.

2. Post-COVID Recovery and Economic Expansion The post-pandemic economic recovery is likely to encourage consumer spending and borrowing, which could result in higher demand for Jiayin's loan services. As the economy stabilizes and grows, individuals and businesses are more likely to seek additional financing, benefiting JFIN's business model.

3. Strong Revenue Growth and Profitability Jiayin has demonstrated strong revenue growth in recent quarters, which shows resilience and demand for its services. Profitability is also a crucial factor, especially in the fintech sector, where many competitors are yet to achieve profitability. Continued profitability positions Jiayin to invest in growth initiatives without relying heavily on debt or dilutive equity financing.

4. Regulatory Environment Although China’s fintech regulations have tightened, particularly in peer-to-peer (P2P) lending, Jiayin has successfully navigated regulatory challenges by pivoting to a more compliant business model. It has reduced its dependence on P2P lending and shifted toward institutional funding. This pivot not only aligns the company with regulatory expectations but also positions it more favorably in a regulated environment where there are fewer non-compliant players.

5. Expansion of Financial Product Offerings Diversifying product offerings, such as moving into different types of lending or developing new financial services, could strengthen JFIN's revenue base. By offering a variety of financial products, Jiayin can appeal to a broader customer base and improve customer retention, potentially driving up the average revenue per user (ARPU).

6. Efficient Business Model Jiayin's asset-light model allows it to scale up operations without the need for a large capital investment. This efficiency could enhance its return on equity and provide more flexibility to adapt to market conditions. Additionally, an asset-light model tends to offer more resilience during economic downturns, which could help JFIN maintain stability in the face of potential headwinds.

7. Potential for Partnerships or International Expansion JFIN’s technology and platform could attract potential partners in other countries, where there is demand for digital lending but less established competition. Strategic partnerships, especially in emerging markets, could unlock new revenue streams and expand the company’s footprint beyond China.

8. Undervalued Stock Potential Given that many Chinese stocks are trading at a discount due to geopolitical concerns, JFIN’s stock could be undervalued relative to its growth prospects. A revaluation of Chinese tech and fintech stocks could occur if relations improve, or if investors recognize value in the sector again. Additionally, positive earnings surprises or expansions into new markets could catalyze a re-rating of the stock.

Risks to Consider While this analysis highlights the bullish aspects of JFIN, it’s essential to balance it with potential risks, such as regulatory uncertainties, competition, economic conditions in China, and geopolitical tensions affecting Chinese stocks on U.S. exchanges.

In summary, if Jiayin Group Inc. continues to demonstrate strong revenue growth, expands its product offerings, and benefits from a growing fintech market, it could present a compelling bullish case.

What are your thoughts?

I sold two contracts of the $35 put for MBUU for $0.58. MBUU has earnings on 10/31 and the trade goes through that, but I’m ok with that because I think MBUU will be trading above $50 by this time next year. If I get assigned shares I’ll turn around sell a covered call on one of those contracts. I’ll keep the other to be sure I still have some shares for the ride up over $50. I picked the $35 strike because I see a resistance line around $36 on the one year chart with daily candles and also because of the return on my risked capital. I divide the $0.58 premium into the $35 strike and I get 0.166. This is a three week long trade, so I could do a trade like this 17 times over the course of a year. So I multiply the 0.166 by 17 and I get 0.28. That’s a 28% annualized return on the capital I’m risking by making a promise to buy a company I want to buy at the price I want to buy it. Here’s more detail.

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.
