Ya it had a run, but it has not been a good time in the market for companies that lose money.

Ideas from Morningstar:
Looking for a company to short? LOL.
Is MicroStrategy officially just a Bitcoin ticker now? He’s up $1 billion on his Bitcoin bet and it’s just getting started.
Pretty much. I wonder what will happen to the stock once all the BTC spot ETFs hit? I guess MicroStrategy is more like a leveraged play.
I imagine the BTC on the balance sheet would dictate the stock price, at least to some extent.
Could be a moment where it becomes a buy if a lot of money flows out of it to go to the ETF's. Kind of like how GBTC was trading at such a discount.
By the way, so happy I bought back into BTC and ETH last Jan. Obviously, I should have bought more, but I have enough to enjoy this pump!
A little sad you didn’t buy the coin that’s up 5x this year with 5 more to go to ATH?
I looked at GSOL, but its volume is so low that the movements are crazy and who knows if you can sell when/if you wanted to. I made the decision to stick with Fidelity, no COIN or other exchanges. In that context, I never had the option for a SOL play. Hopefully Fidelity will expand its roster soon. It is what it is!
Josh Brown has been saying recently that paypal should change it's name to Venmo, as that is where growth is, while paypal is getting squeezed by the likes of apple pay.
CSCO seems like a pretty safe bet.
17xPE, little bit of growth, always beats(by a little), 3% div.
Been trading in a range since 2019. It's been dabbling in some growth area's, if it can gain traction there could it look to break out? Some nice upside if so.

Sounds like ORCL has a partnership going on with MSFT on cloud/AI bandwidth. ORCL is part of Tom Lee’s stock list.
look no further than the private credit market....unregulated disaster waiting to happen
I listened to the podcast. Not sure when it was actually recorded.
INDI reported in line including guidance. Up 8%, which is fairly modest given the downward trend it has been on.
100% rev growth yoy. 50+% expected next year as well as reaching profitability.
Hanging in there but it's been rough.

Now it sounds like a good time to buy!
Got it on my watch list. Looking for entry points with INDI and WOLF.

I think you have experience with individual bonds. I have been learning about them and have a handle on the basics. Question, are BBB bonds very popular? I see that the historic default rate is only 1%'ish, but the return is so much better than higher rated bonds. I am missing something here?

I guess my question is, why buy A or AA corporate bonds vs BBB when you get 2%+ better annual returns (based on Fidelity) and a default rate only marginally higher?
BBB is technically investment grade. Unlikely to go straight to default. But more likely to be downgraded first and then default. A lot of companies lost their investment grade rating but are not defaulting
Got it. So the default rate isn't the entire story. Companies may be downgraded first and default at a lower rating.
Interestingly, I see a lot of big names like Wells Fargo and JP Morgan in the B range.....BBB+ or Baa. Bunch of large utility companies as well.
Getting close, may dethrone AAPL as the largest company by market cap.MSFT showing impressive momentum. Next stop may be $400/sh as FOMO has kicked in. The AI exuberance has a ways to go…saw today that a voice-activated AI lapel pin is going to be a thing.
Seems pricey until I check the crypto market cap.
Lots of smooth talkers pumping that game…It’s going to get real obnoxious once all the ETF’s get approved and people can more “safety” invest in crypto. I can’t wait for itSeems pricey until I check the crypto market cap.
Looking forward to Blackrock's ETH spot ETF. Make it so!!!It’s going to get real obnoxious once all the ETF’s get approved and people can more “safety” invest in crypto. I can’t wait for it
Not anytime soon. Now that they are slowing EV investment they will be even more profitable.
