Boiler Room: The Official Stock Market Discussion

Go for it. Seems like you already have a solid base/position in index funds.

Or even split the $500. $200 to the SP, $300 to your stock picks.

Now that you have me thinking. Check out Slices from Charles Schwab. You can basically create your own ETF's.

This is what I do.

Index funds are great, set it and forget about. Doesn't matter if the market is up or down since it's all dollar cost averaging.

But I have a few dividend aristocrats and blue chips that I also contribute to.

Went ahead and made the plunge after the last few days of good news. Gonna just be DCA'ing from here out until I get to 1k shares.

Tesla is reporting AH today. We already know the delivery numbers are good. How the margins were impacted is what's probably gonna move the stock 1 way, or another.


I'm excited to see how the energy sector does. Once that starts to ramp up, it's over.

Hey question for yall.

For the past few years I've been putting about $500/month into index funds for the S&P 500. Returns have been good, no complaints.

I'm thinking of switching up my strategy and putting that $500 into individual companies monthly. So Apple, Microsoft, Google, Meta, maybe a couple of military or medical companies (Eli Lilly, Boeing, Lockheed) etc.

I want to see if the returns will be more profitable investing in these individual companies as opposed to investing in the entire S&P 500.

Any thoughts?

My advice would be to invest in index funds until you have a macro understanding of the market...I have a good # of shares in $SPLG and $ONEQ...these funds mimic the S&P 500 and Nasdaq

Once you learn the macro market, start targeting ETFs...electric vehicles, clean energy, AI, fintech cybersecurity, robotics, pharmaceuticals, space, etc...

Once you develop an understanding of the ETF, price movements for the ETFs, companies included in the ETF, industry trends, etc...

You're then ready to invest in individual stocks

Understand the difference between trading & investing...if you invest, know the industries, identify the trends, believe in the company, be patient, and continue to invest on an automated schedule

Hope that helps youngin'

Has Palantir written all over:


"It's time to get serious about data—how it’s collected, curated, and capitalized upon by humans and machines—lest the country lose its intelligence edge, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence says in its new three-year data strategy.

“To date, we have not significantly prioritized data as a strategic and operational [intelligence community] asset. The central challenge remains that the IC is not fielding data, analytics, and artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled capabilities at the pace and scale required to preserve our decision and intelligence advantage,” the document said.

To fix that, the IC wants to fine-tune the “data flow lifecycle from collection and acquisition, to transporting, ingesting, curating, exploiting, disseminating, and disposing of IC data.”

Get serious about data, US intelligence leaders tell agencies

ODNI’s new three-year plan aims to turn data-gathering from afterthought to key asset.

Add $AAPL to the list now

 

[The Fukin Prophecy]

NETFLIX being 470 was one of the most illogical mind-numbing things I ever seen...

It literally makes no sense, everyone with a shred of common sense knew that password shyt was going to tank their earnings in this economy yet somehow this albatross kept gaining...

Easiest PUT call I ever made...

 

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

I don't think the password sharing thing hurt them at all. They just got 5.9 million new subs. the reason it's down after hours 5% is the reason this always happens... buy the rumor and sell the news. Y'all should know that lol

DNA really kicking me in my ass right now.

Wasn't that aggressive with trying to lower my cost basis, but I did add here and there.

Went from down 60% then, to up about 6%.


Government contracts starting to roll in too.
