Bears, what's the near-term catalyst for a correction? 2024-02-02T19:35:32+00:00 531 wallstreetbets

META didn't add 200B, the price paid for the last share of stock changed and implied a 200B shift in valuation.
You want a near term catalyst but the thing is, the market doesn't need to "feel" responsible or sustainable for prices to keep increasing.
The most useful thing to do is ditch the sense of impending doom and take a more neutral view of prices.

I spend $4m a year facebook ads and I'm shorting $META earnings 2024-07-26T04:00:55+00:00 37 wallstreetbets

I fully agree, there's nowhere else to go, no other platform provides any scale that comes close to facebook.
So what's happening is most brands I know are just down on the year and spending less money because they can't get the results they used to.
This is by no means a post that META is dead or dying, I think long term META is still a great buy.

Long term I think Alphabet, they are involved in so many areas related to AI, they are growing their media arm (YouTube), and only just started profiting on cloud.

How do you guys do normal stocks? 2024-12-20T20:36:44+00:00 7 pennystocks

Majority of my portfolio is in Dividend ETFs or long term tech growth stocks like NTFLX, META, AMZ.
My comfort comes from having a good foundation with the other stable strategies in my portfolio.
One of the most important skills in trading is the ability to be comfortable with missing out.

Was going to to buy $AMZN last week, but was concerned about negative news from the FTC anti trust lawsuit coming up next year. 2024-12-10T21:55:50+00:00 3 stocks

All the items you mentioned are not going to move the needle much.
Look at the long term stock chart for AMZN.
AMZN is a now a huge company with substantial revenue from corporate (AWS) and consumer (e-commerce).
If it isn't AMZN it's MSFT or GOOGL or META or APPL.
The people how have held it for the most years are the ones who have the highest return.

How do I get over repeatedly missing the boat and every bull market? 2024-03-06T14:21:26+00:00 127 stocks

The people who made the most money were buying NVDA TSLA META when they were under $100.
Remember when everyone was posting on Reddit about Zuckerberg and Elon are terrible CEOs, Nvidia is doomed because bitcoin mining is dead?
Buy the dips and hold long term.

The Fed forecasts lowering rates by another half point before the year is out 2024-09-19T11:45:25+00:00 122 wallstreetbets

Imagine investing in stocks merely 2 years ago - NVDA and META most notably (I'm intentionally ignoring MANY huge smaller cap winners).
One thing is for certain - I've been playing QQQ puts almost daily never holding overnight.
The challenge is you don't know how much higher the market will go until it ploots down like an SOB.
NVDA still has a bit to go and I don't count TSLA because how can you price a car company that makes money from energy credits they sell to other car companies and their CEO is....well....
So as long as I don't play QQQ puts bulls have me to thank lmfao

Facebook Calls will send your bank account into the METAVERSE 2024-04-28T17:28:38+00:00 59 wallstreetbets

The debit would only be a couple of hundred bucks but give you leveraged exposure to the long side, and having a short leg would balance out your theta decay and potential IV changes.
The downside is that your return is capped, and if the stock price appreciates rapidly in the near term, the spread won't benefit as much from the movement as a plain long call.
I think understanding option Greeks + IV and trading spreads really encourages you to think of investments as expressing your view on the market, and options provide much more ways to do that (other than just stocks will go up or down).

Yes people earning much less in the workforce deal with similar things but having been both I wouldn't necessarily say *the same*.
Yep agreed on the financial independence... it's definitely what people should strive for (though admittedly very difficult to achieve.)
There are only so many Apples, Googles, METAs, etc... highly desirable and well-paying roles with highly desirable companies, people will put up with alot for as long as possible because they know they have it better than 99.9%.

Not an apples to apples comparison, but using the same logic, the market values each account at META at $281.40 This is also a company that has been profitable since 2009 and is trading close it its all time high.

Buy options contracts not terribly far OTM and with low enough IV so that you don't screw it all over in a single day of trading.
From what I could ascertain it appears you hit option gold on a certain video game seller stock several years ago and since then been on a hellbent mission to say the market screws you over because META and NVDA has pretty much only gone up for the last 18months.
I don't sense a strong presence of self control or patience in your trading behaviors but if you can be patient, I don't think you will regret it.
Take breaks, absorb, practice, look for trends, and keep your mind calm cool and convicted in whatever you invest in.
It won't make sense and go back to my first point - don't oppose the flow of water (in this case Wall Street)

Should I dump my girlfriend? $META 2024-08-01T16:04:37+00:00 69 wallstreetbets

Absolutely no one at META would care what he did or make him disclose trades.
Even lower level "officers" with SBC often their partner can do whatever the fuck they want.
It doesn't break insider trading rules at all.

Stuck at a point 2024-12-08T21:06:04+00:00 2 algotrading

IMHO the coding is the final part, only useful after you've learned your market, and how to make strategies that suit your trading style, risk tolerance, broker limits, account size, what type of market you like, what kind of trading frequency, etc.
Then there is the whole process of learning the discipline to trade, and test your systems.
It's often far better to do that, by hand, on a backtest chart (I use Trading View) to rapidly test an idea, before investing in the coding side.
It sounds like you're asking something along the lines of "OK I made a bot, how do I find a good strategy, now?"
I have a Twitch channel where I trade live every day (the next 3 days I'm moving house so I won't be streaming), I write scripts for META5, but the main focus of my channel is showing my process for developing and testing strategies.

I make less than $16 an hour, day trading a $30,000 account. Am I doing something wrong? 2024-09-20T20:30:24+00:00 146 Daytrading

Not taking yolo trades either, just making good entries and capturing 50 points on one NQ contract is $1000 on an average day.
And with a low margin broker that only requires $1000 in capital.
Your potential returns have much more to do with your skill as a trader and what you trade.
I believe you need to review your trade setups and work on your skill level, not your capital size at this point.
Still these stocks do have high ATR's so a good trader could likely capture several dollars of moves, even with 100 shares.

Why are investor so bearish? 2024-05-02T18:59:51+00:00 55 stocks

> > Just like when the "car crash" was the lingering Great Recession effects in 2010-11, or Grexit, or Brexit, or cratering oil prices, or skyrocketing oil prices, or whatever other "crisis" people were sure would tank the market so "stay on the sidelines til it passes".
Buy ETFs on the regular and keep scouting for quality undervalued companies you'd like to own long-term.
I was loading up on META (still holding), AMZN (still holding), GOOGL (sold) and CRM (sold) and made multiple six figures since then.
I will never forget an /r/stocks poster in [this thread](https://www.reddit.com/r/stocks/comments/xl1ba5/deleted_by_user/) about a crashing market from September 2022 who was **so sure** shit was going to hit the fan and telling us how he was in cash and going short because of this and that metric and the car crash ahead.
Take this as another lesson folks that people seemingly need to learn over and over and over again...

Started investing last week, 500 a month going forward, what you think of my portfolio so far? 2024-12-23T00:01:39+00:00 2 StockMarket

My recommendation is keep your 401K in VOO and your eff you money in companies you believe in.
This portfolio signals you believe in America, you believe in the AI and automation story, and you know it'll happen in America before any of these other loser countries.
I'm right there with you, I own META over GOOG, PLTR over OKLO, and I like UBER over TSLA.
My suggestion is to add an industrial.
They can be a dog but if you believe in AI, you also need to believe that will require a significant investment in raw materials.

This is my high conviction play for 2025. Not going to sell and will hold for the next 5-10 years. $RDDT 2024-12-20T01:56:55+00:00 8 StockMarket

They currently generate $33M quarterly from comtracts with Google and Open AI, but if AI and LLM's really do replace search over the next few years, and those LLM are reliant on RDDT's data, then I think RDDT will potentially be able to charge billions for their data.
They currently have 100M DAU (growing 47% YOY) and 1.2B MAU, so to achieve this need to increase engagement of current users, capitalize on their high ranking in Google search, and expand internationally, which they are doing via AI translation.
I think there is a huge upside that is obviously heavily dependent on management's ability to execute their strategy.
If Reddit can grow to 400M DAU, which I believe they can, and improve ARPU to $6, they will generate $9.6B revenue annually within 5 years.
This doesn't include any potential upside from AI, which I think could be a huge revenue driver.

Do you have long term faith in Apple? $AAPL 2024-02-26T10:28:43+00:00 536 stocks

Microsoft is mostly challenging Google and Apple is challenging META, so in reality you either buy META and Google if you think ads will win, or you buy Microsoft and Apple if you think hardware and integration will win.
But unlike Steve Jobs, Tim Cook is very conservative in his approach.
Apple will continue to deliver great user experience and great ecosystem integration, but dont expect the company to be the growth giant it was under Steve Jobs.
In this context, I personally think private use IT has reached a plateau while efficiency in business has a lot of potential.
I own both Microsoft and Apple as 40% of my portfolio, and I am certain both of these companies will be important in the future.

LULU - who's catching the falling knife? 2024-05-22T12:55:01+00:00 71 stocks

This sub is going hate it, just like they hated TGT last year, just like they hated META (When it was falling, and NVDA (when it was falling).
Looking at their balance sheet, their moat, and also growth in China and Europe tells a different story.
Additionally, insiders have been buying, and none have sold so far this year.

NVDA 10k filing: "Customer A" contributed 13% of total revenue in FY2024. 2024-02-23T17:33:40+00:00 52 stocks

It would be impressive for the first silicon from a firm like META to be able to replace the utility provided by an incumbent like nvda.
And even if it works out, eventually (18 months absolute best case, 36 months realistic), the amount of horizontal growth in the sector will satisfy NVDA books - unless you think Meta/msft chips will be sold B2B in a way that existing customers ditch NVDA?
It's natural I think to imagine someone sweeping the leg from profit incentive, but I'm pretty confident the complexity involved (and the rapidly changing landscape you must always be adaptable to), will mean at the very best these firms are learning how to make their own lunch, not farm food for the country/world.

Why only Google has a low P/E? 2024-12-20T23:38:22+00:00 3 investing

What's nutty to me is that AAPL has had the lowest PE ratio of the tech stocks for like over a decade.
But as of today, their PE ratio of almost 42 is higher than MSFT (36), META (27.6), GOOG (25.6).
As a shareholder of AAPL, I'm definitely not complaining, but I'm having trouble seeing where Apple's implied growth is going to come from compared to Microsoft's, Meta's, and Google's.

Broadcom (AVGO) broke the $1T barrier - here's how it compares to the Mag 7 2024-12-14T17:25:05+00:00 2 stocks

I'm enthusiastically buying new Apple devices for this current upgrade cycle, but I suspect I'm in the minority among consumers.
This trend may have begun to slightly reverse itself on a quarterly basis, largely driven by energy credits, although not nearly back to its 2022 heights.
To really have any meaningful growth (let alone spectacular growth implied by these valuations), TSLA bulls would have to hope for one of three things: (1) actual meaningful progress on robotaxi after 10 years, (2) significantly increased EV sales, or (3) Elon Musk's political connections positively impacting the balance sheet by diverting revenue and income into company shareholders.
* **Insane growth**: This is NVDA with triple digit growth in revenue and operating income, even if it's starting to diminish.
* **Very strong growth**: * GOOG, MSFT, and META: Balance sheets speak for themselves * AMZN: The balance sheet here reflects that AMZN has a huge retail component that operates on low margins but a growing high-margin tech component compared to GOOG and META.
