OT: Stock and Investment Thread

I'm watching MSFT, hoping for it to dip below $310.....and then will add to my current position.
Some couples are finding they don’t need the extra money from two income and are willing to live on one income to spend more time with their families. People are just not out there looking for jobs.
I’ve never seen anything like this. With everyone going nuts about inflation you’d think earning a living to pay bills should be #1 priority. Personally, I could retire today if I wanted to but wouldn’t want to give up my peak earning potential because you can never get those years back and they pave the way for serious wealth building.
It is an interesting dynamic going on today. I will love to see a full analysis and paper done this.
Some more companies to this about:
All depends on earning potential and goal for retirement or additional saving/spending plans. I am in a one income household and while we do well it would be nice to have another income to either move up retirement plans or expedite additional expenditures like a second home, college funds, etc
A lot of stress and pressure with it also.
+1
Only one income means that only one work issue can really impact the family, even with a healthy savings account.
looking at the last 4 years, and literally every quarter from every one of those companies is profitable, and every quarter is a beat.
MSFT has the best looking upward trend in earnings during that time.
MSFT also has the best stock price gain of that group over the last 10 years. AAPL is not far behind.
ORCL and CSCO with very similar 10 year performance though they trail AAPL and MSFT by a wide margin. Both of these companies have been rewarded of late for switching more towards software services.
IBM is down over the last 10 years. It would be the turnaround play in this group.
On a more short term note. Oracle had a big upward move after its last earnings call, but is down 20% since, not sure of the why.

I haven't, I'm pretty heavy in semi's already, and I'm watching NVDA as well.
But QCOM looks great. Consolidating after a big run. Significantly cheaper here on a P/E basis then it was pre covid. Despite the stock price doubling. Growth prospects look good, and it too always beats.
I was eyeing AAPL all day today. If it dropped below $170 I was going to buy. Never made it there.....yet.
Any good energy plays? I am looking thru XLE's portfolio. SLB looks interesting.
SLB is on my list now. CVX is a great company, but most if its run may have happened already. That's why I am not watching F too closely. Unless it drops back below $20.
ORCL has been trending down since their Cerner takeover announcement. It's just on the 200DMA now.
Carter Worth had a segment on IBM the other day. He was bearish on it. Had a trendline dating back to 2011 where every time IBM came up against it, it was rejected. It's pushing up against that downward trendline again. Also relative strength vs the S&P wasn't great. Will it break that trend finally?

This is the second new variant found since omicron. Most variants are actually meaningless and die out quickly. I believe there have been 12=15 know COVID variants identified, but only 3 have become dominant strains (original, Delta, and omi).
Right, but it combines two dominant strains which is why I found it interesting.
I purchased ORCL on Thursday at $86.00. I like buying solid companies on the dip.
Solid company, but way overpaid for Cerner. Besides that brief artificial pop, ORCL isn't down that much. I would like to see drop some more.
Bought at $66.79 in March, sold 2/3 for $90.45 in July for 36% gain. I try not to get too greedy, so had to cash in. Happy to get in 15% off it’s recent high and 5% below my sale.
Looks like tech will take it on the chin a bit at the open and you'll get your shot at AAPL under 170.
Got AAPL for under $170 and NVDA for under $260! Eyeing FB if it drops below $320.
New 52wk low for PYPL. Trendline support may have finally broken.
SOFI below 13.
AMZN getting near the bottom of the trading range its been in for a bit.
NKE downgraded by HSBC giving back their gains after earnings a little while back

Nasdaq is about 10% off its highs but will go lower due to macro changes. S&P and Dow Are down less than 5% from ATH.
Nasdaq will be back at ATH in short order. Don't miss out again, buy, buy, buy!
You funny.Sell some of your TSLA?
Looking to load up on more.
Nasdaq will eventually go up, but the downside risk is still there. I don't think we are at a buy point or even at a point of nibbling.
Many (including you) have said that a few times already this year.....and were wrong. ATH coming soon. Earnings rule the day and the economy is booming for tech.
