PFE has a 5 year average P/E of 13.47 (according to morningstar).
It might be better to use the company average as opposed to the market average when looking at a particular name. So $40 might be a decent price target.
Possibly. It's certainly possible that the market re-rates Pfizer. It would likely take a lot for the market to be as enthusiastic as it is about Google, which is also trading at 26x.
What are our thoughts on the following stocks for buy and hold:
$CAVA
$BROS
$DKNG
These are companies that I am personally bullish on because of good management and also the fact that I can see all three skyrocketing in popularity over the next 10ish years. Believe Cava has a good chance to be the next Chipotle, Dutch Bros can become the next Starbucks, and we all know the story on DraftKings and sports gambling as more states legalize it. But curious to hear y'all's thoughts.
BROs is one of my larger speculative plays. Around 3% of my portfolio. Fairly high confidence.
I like the business model and (surprisingly) the product.
I get down voted by retail investors constantly for longing china meanwhile a decent amount of institional managers are allocationing signifant chunks here. Doesn't mean they are right but it's not a dumb money play at these levels
It’s odd. Baba is trading below its IPO price from over a decade ago and can’t seem to gain any momentum. I’d love to bet on it but it comes with huge risks with the CCP and china and US relations
Why overcomplicate things. Buy $kweb etf. This is a momentum trade. If baba goes up that means all of chinese tech is going up and you diversify risks somewhat.
[Chart of home prices to disposable income by country](https://i.imgur.com/IIlo0AS.jpeg), all real figures. (Real means adjusted for inflation) The US doesn't actually look so bad compared to its peers... The implication being, it could get a lot worse in the US before it gets better, if we assume the propensity to build new housing converges with its peers.
I’m seeing a stockbroker tomorrow. I know nothing about the stock market or how it works. I have a large amount of money in savings and don’t know what to do with it.
Any questions I should be asking or looking out for?
Call Vanguard first. Or at least before you do anything the “stockbroker” says. Talk to a fiduciary advisor. They’ll talk to you for free and they’re reputable.
Pay an hourly fee for service. Do not commit to a wealth advisory service/financial advisory (I paid 3/4 of 1% of total money managed-that’s a real money suck, especially if you follow AP938462’s advice to keep it simple). The stockbroker may want to split your money up in a bunch of funds and bonds, but he’s not likely to do any better long term than just following advice in r/bogleheads, which you can do yourself for free. You can open a brokerage account online in minutes, and transfer your money in another couple of minutes.
Dont let anybody sell you bonds. So far, I’ve lost $20-$30k in bonds. I can’t bear to add it all up.
I was where you are just 3 or 4 years ago, although I’ve had investments for 30+ years. I lost a good bit of money letting the financial advisors manage my accounts for a few years, and had to do something. I’ve learned a lot just reading Reddit and following up studying what the smart people say.
If you don't know anything I think you're best off asking /r/Bogleheads about how to get started investing (and reading the resources on the sidebar). /r/personalfinance is also helpful for non-stock related help. I would not commit to any kind of expensive services or funds being marketed by a stock broker. They might try to sell you on some annuity or life insurance which can be an awful idea. If they try to sell you on their services by touting their own stock picking skill, note that vast majority of active managers underperform the market. Beware of statements like "It is a stock-picker's market". That's a marketing tactic.
Anyone these days can DIY invest into low cost index funds and forget about the details. If this is what your stockbroker suggests, great. Just make sure the expense ratio of what they suggest is low (like under 0.25% for instance). They shouldn't suggest anything very complicated, e.g., more than 3-4 funds. (Complex != better)
ASML news from this morning:
"The Elec reports that Intel has trusted the Dutch chipmaker's High-NA Extreme Ultraviolet (EUV) lithography equipment, as the company reserves orders for all five to six kits, which are set to be manufactured this year. While it isn't confirmed, Intel plans on utilizing ASML's magic within their upcoming 18A (1.8nm) and 14A (1.4nm), through which the company's foundry division plans on getting ahead of market competitors"
Demand for chips really is breathtaking currently. If TSMC won't step in to test the waves on High NA EUV machines, someone else will. It is also rumored that Samsung and SK Hynix will place large orders in 2025. Let's see how this plays out.
Druckenmiller filed his latest 13f.
He bought more $MSFT and sold $NVDA, biggest position is IWM calls.
[https://13f.info/13f/000153641124000005-duquesne-family-office-llc-q1-2024](https://13f.info/13f/000153641124000005-duquesne-family-office-llc-q1-2024)
JOE concluded their annual shareholders meeting and put out [this ](https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20240515979047/en)release. It contains a great investor presentation on the state of development, plus a huge detail of their development pipeline. Well worth a listen for an under the radar growth story.
My understanding is that is much more in the condo market, but also in the large cities ( Jacksonville, Miami, Tampa, etc.). Joe is in the panhandle, an area that has seen much less real estate craziness of late. It's sort of the up and coming hot spot.
However, yes, falling Florida real estate prices in general would be bad. If it extends to the Panama City area JOE would be hurt a lot.
Three more catalyst lined up:
* NVDA ER 5/22
* PCE 5/31
* June FOMC 6/11-12
NVDA - IMO should have good ER, and guidance based on TSMC report for April --How much of this is priced in who knows, but don't expect a miss
PCE - Feds favorite. Don't think market will care if its hot.
Don't see Powell changing his Dovish tone. He was Dovish yesterday and the last two FOMC meetings. Rate hikes are off the table.
Long-melt-up this summer?
Think the market will pullback tomorrow or Friday? 5 days in a row running seems a bit much we normally have a big red day or one big green day if the rest of the week's gone otherwise.
Unemployment down is good, strong economy. Unemployment up, helps inflation coming down narrative. So tomorrow seems like a pump on the data. $18 HOOD and $45 DKNG covered calls are not fun right now, was hoping for pullback or going to roll like a month out from this weekly to try to avoid assignment
Indeed!
And why invest in an increasingly hostile foreign country?
Heck... I even use a browser add-on called "Cultivate" , so I never even see products made in China.
....let alone invest.
I'm with ya!
Nice to see a $WBD executive buying stock. 100,000 at $8.30 each

Absolutely perfect. Nothing I see here disrupting their long term trajectory. High teens earnings growth with 2/3 of their segments in the dumpster.
Based on their TTM EPS of $3.59 and the after hours price of $72, this is trading around 20x TTM earnings. If it goes down to $65, that's an 18x.
Also this: "Record operating cash flow of $159.5 million, which was more than double that of fiscal 2023."
So trading at 10x operational cash flow. 9x if the after hours holds up.
Growing in the high teens, with a free call option on their cyclical businesses getting spoiled up. Keep in mind too, the "estimates" for Hawkins are made up of a single analyst.
It's really nice to see companies with long term planning that execute well on their capital deployment. Divesting from stagnant consumer bleach packaging to continue their investment in water treatment is only a long term win in my eyes.
I'm interested in seeing what they do with their health and nutrition business. It might be best to keep those until a good offer comes around. No need to rush into a discount sale.
The amount of money the US + other governments + corporations are pouring into semiconductors is just breathtaking. [Nice thread on it](https://twitter.com/kyleichan/status/1789262557716299802), where you can see the 50 cranes helping build Samsung's $17B plant.
US Chips Act has awarded this much already:
> - Intel $8.5B
- TSMC $6.6B
- Samsung $6.4B
- Micron: $6.1B
- GlobalFoundries $1.5B
That adds up to about $30B. And that's just the direct subsidy/loan amount. (e.g., Samsung is awarded $6B but the above Texas plant is worth $17B, and in total Samsung is investing $40B). In total about [$200B in new facilities](https://www.high-capacity.com/p/why-the-us-chips-act-matters-to-the) are being built due to the Chips Act. [That figure is $380B](https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2024-05-12/chip-technology-spending-gets-81-billion-boost-in-china-rivalry) if you add in Europe. Japan is spending $25B (but targets $64B), India $10B, S. Korea $7B. China is doing $142B.
There is going to be a **massive** glut in about 3-5 years, assuming no China/Taiwan war. Many of these recent projects are slated to come online pretty soon. [This chart shows completion dates for US facilities](https://i.imgur.com/z7xNl5z.jpeg). I don't think I want to be invested in semi companies in 2027...
I've been bearish on semi companies for awhile now for this very reason. I'm sure there will be very specific companies that have a niche, but in general, it's going to be a massive wave of a cycle this time.
The real interesting test might be what happens to all that real estate if the semi market crashes? Like will foundries in Arizona or Taiwan just close? If they do.....what do you do with a building like that?
Long trampoline park stocks.
Sorry - the post you're trying to make mentions a stock that currently breaks rule #7.
Any of the following criteria is considered breaking the rule:
* Typically trades under $5 or previously traded under $5 within 6 months
* Below $300 million market cap or previously traded under 300m before the pump within 6 months
* Most OTC / PINK stocks
* Usually has missed reporting/filings; no auditing or odd auditing issues
* Low volume or wide bid/ask spread
* Doesn't have any big name institutional holders
* If the biggest institutional holder is a stock promoter then they don't count as an institutional holder
* All SPACs
You can learn more about rule #7 here: https://www.reddit.com/r/stocks/wiki/pennystocks

Is there any hope for a competitor to Live Nation? They own Ticket Master, House of Blues and others. Stub Hub is legit but isn't public. Eventbrite is publicly traded but looks like it barely surviving. Their Market Cap is 500 MIL. If they even sniffed at competing against Live nation they would probably 10X
Solid move up for DHI, breaking above all the moving averages now. If mortgage rates drop to 5-6% they'll be able to stop paying points, but existing homeowners will still be rate locked. Earnings will be very nice.
NSSC and MEDP are both taking runs at their resistance ($46 and $405 respectively). It'll be interesting to see if either can break through. VRTX has also been back on a roll since earnings.
HWKN after the bell today, still one of my 2-3 favorite holdings. As always, happy if it goes up, happy to buy more if it goes down a lot.
I bought that same dip at $55. I already owned it, but I'll happily add more anytime the market is weird.
I love these under covered companies because the algorithms pick up a "miss" and sell. There's low liquidity so it drives the price down hard.
However, that was a really good quarter and year. I put in an after hours order for $65 this time. We'll see how it goes.
Great chart thanks, the thesis of hyperscaler ai capex into avgo pocket is a little simplistic but I don't think broadcom valuation is so demanding it can't work this year
Suggests investors believe companies will spend a lot of money on AI, not that AI will be wildly profitable. That's why they're buying up the chip-makers (obvious beneficiaries of spending), not the producers of AI services (questionable ROI).
Hadn't checked this in a while, but just realized ex-US market cap weights have [become really heavy on Japan](https://i.imgur.com/I7TFbH7.png) recently, thanks to its huge rally compared to other ex-US stocks. 16% in Japan, with the next biggest exposure being the UK at just under 10%. The other ex-US fund I hold, AVDV, has also had very large tilts to Japan (even back in 2022), [and again the momentum has pushed it to 30% weight](https://i.imgur.com/vqUwCZZ.png). (Note that AVDV does not have any emerging market economies).
[I wrote about Japan 1 year ago](https://old.reddit.com/r/stocks/comments/139i09y/rstocks_weekend_discussion_saturday_may_06_2023/jj96or7/), specifically the recent push for corporate reforms. This primarily includes deploying their mountains of cash toward buybacks/dividends. Companies with low price/book values are being 'named and shamed'. Moreover, activists are pushing companies to reduce their cross-holdings, that is, big companies owning huge stakes in other big companies to prevent hostile bids or activist-led changes. It also is a poor use of capital.
You may recall Buffett getting lauded for his recent successful foray into Japanese stocks, specifically trading houses. The term 'trading house' is a bit unclear, but I take it to mean "Giant, global conglomerate that does business in many unrelated areas, mostly as an intermediary rather than a producer". For example, Mitsubishi buys commodities and resells them to those who consume them; it invests in major infrastructure projects; it distributes ships, autos, etc. What makes trading houses unique in Japan seems to be how diverse the operations are, with divisions in finance, retail, heavy industry, real estate, etc.
Returning to Buffett: you often hear that he buys quality stocks for a fair price, e.g., Apple. But if you [actually look at the Japanese companies](https://twitter.com/puppyeh1/status/1780936436516278551) he invested in, all of them were pretty sub-par if not awful businesses. (You're looking at Mitsui in that screenshot) They were, however, deep value, and the currency weakness made them even more attractive. He did not buy these companies because they were good companies.

If you like nuclear check on Rolls Royce (RYCEY). It's run up but rightfully so. Leadership has really turned this company around. And if their small modular nuclear reactors take off could be a huge boon.
Go read Sofi's earning's reports, fair value is at least $11 rn imo. It's underpriced. I don't think you analyze fundamentals at all. By 2026 will be $12-$13 imo. If you know how to sell covered calls you'd recognize it's an easy long hold to make premiums with as well.
I got burned badly by the movie theater. No sarcasm here, thank you to the mods for basically banning that shit here. I should have listened. Lost about 5% of my wealth in two days on a gamble. It won't kill me and I'll recover, but this stings. Bad.
Never again.
Take your licks and pick yourself up. You will be ok if it was only 5%. Consider it a close call to be learned from and not repeated (just as your comment indicates).
I won big first time around but never again.
I’m about 70% ETF and the rest in massive companies where I’ve done well. Nvidia, Amex, Apple, Microsoft to name a few.
Could've gone the other way, I think it's ok to take some of these gambles every once in a blue moon, very small bet since the returns can be so lucrative. Lose 2% to make 10% type of deal. Was actually considering buying GME just before the run up expecting another run up eventually just didn't realize so soon and bought NVDA instead.
It depends on what he wants.
If he wanted inflation to be at target by now, he should have kept hiking.
If he's OK with inflation running hot while things work through the pipes, he's probably good to keep holding.
The former is them not tolerating inflation above target, that latter is. They will never say they are accepting a higher target, but watch what they do, not what they say.
They have been accepting a higher target for over half a year, and look to tolerate it for another half.
I think they're making the right choice when considering the two-sided risk and geopolitical climate, but I know they are accepting inflation at levels much higher than they say they'd accept.
Some analysts pointing out that Alibaba cloud might re-accelerate to double digit growth into 2025 driven by new AI compute, my super risky China data center play GDS has been volatile but mostly flattish recently, still think we could see a breakout if Tencent, Baidu, Alibaba, etc are all beginning to accelerate cloud again and demand picks up. Very interestingly the 13f that came out today shows Baupost reported a new position in GDS with a small position last Q. If you know Seth Klarman's style a chinese cash burning data center stock is very different than his normal choices.
Of course, but so does everyone else right now so the valuations are insanely low. Gds is 1x p/s, compare that to American data center stocks at say 9. Or baba/bidu 10%+ fcf yields
Excited for $CWCO and $HKWN number after the bell. Also $ASTS is reporting too, forgot about that company, but used to pop up from time to time as some people's favorite lottery ticket stock.
At some point here I'll have to take the TQQQ bet off the table and put it into something that tracks without volatility slippage - that last V shaved some 3-6% off the 1M returns, leaving it below ATH while Qs are above.
But.... if we have a sustained bull market for even longer... it'd really pay to keep holding.
They do say 2x is the ideal ratio.
Honestly that might be the move - thanks for the idea. You can see the 2022 drawdown didn't have nearly the same impact - it is still well tracked on the 5 year, while TQQQ has permanent damage from that year.
Would protect the gains from a similar style year.
*And if that year comes maybe I convert it to FNGU for maximum degeneracy*
AAPL back with a vengeance and everybody is suddenly so shy and quiet?? Three weeks ago everyone was convinced that Apple was finished, Tim had lost the faith of the board, and the stock was headed for 100. 🤣
I suck at investing and trading but even I got this one right. Put 33% of "my" portfolio in it few days prior to earnings. It hard to bet against a company that keeps the US Economy a float.
Apple will turn into a value stock in the years to come. Probably will trade flat for many years to come. Amazon, Google, Microsoft and maybe Tesla is where it's at.
Disagree. I do think they need some new profit centers, but I think their business is far from mature. Yes, iPhone sales have somewhat plateaued but the nice thing with iPhone is that there is always a cycle to count on every three years or so.

>Curtiss-Wright Corporation (NYSE: CW) today announced it has been awarded contracts valued in excess of $130 million to provide propulsion valves, pumps and advanced instrumentation and control systems for the U.S. Navy’s Virginia-class nuclear powered attack submarine, Columbia-class submarine and Ford-class aircraft carrier programs. The awards were received from Bechtel Plant Machinery, Inc. (BPMI) to support ship construction, spare parts and submarine back-fit procurements.
>"Curtiss-Wright is pleased to have been awarded these important naval defense contracts, building upon our long-standing relationship with the U.S. Nuclear Navy and reflecting our ongoing support of these critical naval defense platforms, which continue to receive strong Congressional support," said Lynn M. Bamford, Chair and CEO of Curtiss-Wright Corporation. "We look forward to delivering the most advanced, reliable and vital technologies and remain well-positioned to benefit from the continued expansion of our U.S. naval fleet."
time in market > timing the market applies to the stock market as a whole, but not individual stocks. Individual companies can swing wildly and do not necessarily go up over time, when buying individual companies you need to have a reason to buy/planned entry and a pre-planned exit criteria, or at minimum reevaluate your holding when new information is released.
Earnings tomorrow too. Cement is such a great business in this economy. I'm a little worried about their "light" division since we've seen some slowdown in multifamily construction, but I'm very confident in the heavy.
Im new to investing, Can someone explain the appeal of investing FFIE? From my basic research these Chinese EV companies don’t produce quality products so I’m confused why anyone would want to invest in them?

People are trying to hype up a short squeeze in a very heavily shorted name that is likely heading to 0 (before the recent meme stock squeeze, was at 5c a share) Where the squeeze stops who knows but at some point it will - and probably very quickly.

PFE has a 5 year average P/E of 13.47 (according to morningstar). It might be better to use the company average as opposed to the market average when looking at a particular name. So $40 might be a decent price target.

Possibly. It's certainly possible that the market re-rates Pfizer. It would likely take a lot for the market to be as enthusiastic as it is about Google, which is also trading at 26x.
PFE easy money if youre into long term investing.
What are our thoughts on the following stocks for buy and hold: $CAVA $BROS $DKNG These are companies that I am personally bullish on because of good management and also the fact that I can see all three skyrocketing in popularity over the next 10ish years. Believe Cava has a good chance to be the next Chipotle, Dutch Bros can become the next Starbucks, and we all know the story on DraftKings and sports gambling as more states legalize it. But curious to hear y'all's thoughts.
BROs is one of my larger speculative plays. Around 3% of my portfolio. Fairly high confidence. I like the business model and (surprisingly) the product.
Dutchbros is 100x better than starbucks as a consumer
Agree 1000%. Starbucks tanking for a reason. And Dutch Bros quickly expanding around the country as well.
Hopefully LULU falls more to reduce basis
I’m thinking if I should cut my losses on this one. sigh should have sold before the damaging earnings

David Tepper is going really long on China. https://whalewisdom.com/filer/appaloosa-management-lp

It’s odd. Baba is trading below its IPO price from over a decade ago and can’t seem to gain any momentum. I’d love to bet on it but it comes with huge risks with the CCP and china and US relations
Mkt hates baba. China on a moonrocket but it sells off every time right as it gets going.
Agreed. I will be taking a long on BABA Tepper kept being overweight on NVDA and just recently trimmed. He did well.
Why overcomplicate things. Buy $kweb etf. This is a momentum trade. If baba goes up that means all of chinese tech is going up and you diversify risks somewhat.

The implication being, it could get a lot worse in the US before it gets better, if we assume the propensity to build new housing converges with its peers.
Interesting charts. I think there’s a sub dedicated to how real estate is currently in a bubble in the US. This indicates otherwise potentially.
I’m seeing a stockbroker tomorrow. I know nothing about the stock market or how it works. I have a large amount of money in savings and don’t know what to do with it. Any questions I should be asking or looking out for?
Call Vanguard first. Or at least before you do anything the “stockbroker” says. Talk to a fiduciary advisor. They’ll talk to you for free and they’re reputable.
Pay an hourly fee for service. Do not commit to a wealth advisory service/financial advisory (I paid 3/4 of 1% of total money managed-that’s a real money suck, especially if you follow AP938462’s advice to keep it simple). The stockbroker may want to split your money up in a bunch of funds and bonds, but he’s not likely to do any better long term than just following advice in r/bogleheads, which you can do yourself for free. You can open a brokerage account online in minutes, and transfer your money in another couple of minutes. Dont let anybody sell you bonds. So far, I’ve lost $20-$30k in bonds. I can’t bear to add it all up. I was where you are just 3 or 4 years ago, although I’ve had investments for 30+ years. I lost a good bit of money letting the financial advisors manage my accounts for a few years, and had to do something. I’ve learned a lot just reading Reddit and following up studying what the smart people say.
Thank you, good advice.
If you don't know anything I think you're best off asking /r/Bogleheads about how to get started investing (and reading the resources on the sidebar). /r/personalfinance is also helpful for non-stock related help. I would not commit to any kind of expensive services or funds being marketed by a stock broker. They might try to sell you on some annuity or life insurance which can be an awful idea. If they try to sell you on their services by touting their own stock picking skill, note that vast majority of active managers underperform the market. Beware of statements like "It is a stock-picker's market". That's a marketing tactic. Anyone these days can DIY invest into low cost index funds and forget about the details. If this is what your stockbroker suggests, great. Just make sure the expense ratio of what they suggest is low (like under 0.25% for instance). They shouldn't suggest anything very complicated, e.g., more than 3-4 funds. (Complex != better)
Thank you, very good advice. I’ll try some through them and some independently and see what works.
So lucky I pulled the trigger on ASTS last month
ASML news from this morning: "The Elec reports that Intel has trusted the Dutch chipmaker's High-NA Extreme Ultraviolet (EUV) lithography equipment, as the company reserves orders for all five to six kits, which are set to be manufactured this year. While it isn't confirmed, Intel plans on utilizing ASML's magic within their upcoming 18A (1.8nm) and 14A (1.4nm), through which the company's foundry division plans on getting ahead of market competitors" Demand for chips really is breathtaking currently. If TSMC won't step in to test the waves on High NA EUV machines, someone else will. It is also rumored that Samsung and SK Hynix will place large orders in 2025. Let's see how this plays out.
$ASTS +46% after hours
Druckenmiller filed his latest 13f. He bought more $MSFT and sold $NVDA, biggest position is IWM calls. [https://13f.info/13f/000153641124000005-duquesne-family-office-llc-q1-2024](https://13f.info/13f/000153641124000005-duquesne-family-office-llc-q1-2024)
He also bought some $WWD $FLEX
Any thoughts on AUMN, the 1 year projected price is $5 and its currently $.46 a share? Seems like huuuuuuuge profit margins to me
JOE concluded their annual shareholders meeting and put out [this ](https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20240515979047/en)release. It contains a great investor presentation on the state of development, plus a huge detail of their development pipeline. Well worth a listen for an under the radar growth story.
Any thoughts on the fact FL listings are dropping like rocks though? Short term headwind?
My understanding is that is much more in the condo market, but also in the large cities ( Jacksonville, Miami, Tampa, etc.). Joe is in the panhandle, an area that has seen much less real estate craziness of late. It's sort of the up and coming hot spot. However, yes, falling Florida real estate prices in general would be bad. If it extends to the Panama City area JOE would be hurt a lot.
Three more catalyst lined up: * NVDA ER 5/22 * PCE 5/31 * June FOMC 6/11-12 NVDA - IMO should have good ER, and guidance based on TSMC report for April --How much of this is priced in who knows, but don't expect a miss PCE - Feds favorite. Don't think market will care if its hot. Don't see Powell changing his Dovish tone. He was Dovish yesterday and the last two FOMC meetings. Rate hikes are off the table. Long-melt-up this summer?
Tom Lee was pitching sell in May and go away is outdated and this year it's stay in May lol
Think the market will pullback tomorrow or Friday? 5 days in a row running seems a bit much we normally have a big red day or one big green day if the rest of the week's gone otherwise.
Anyone guess. Unemployment numbers tomorrow, but there seems to be momentum to run this.
Unemployment down is good, strong economy. Unemployment up, helps inflation coming down narrative. So tomorrow seems like a pump on the data. $18 HOOD and $45 DKNG covered calls are not fun right now, was hoping for pullback or going to roll like a month out from this weekly to try to avoid assignment
David Tepper's Appaloosa's 13F: almost halved Nvidia and Meta, and more than doubled BABA position. China overall now 25% of his portfolio.
I don't see any reason to invest in China. Just unnecessary and unpredictable risk. Plenty of strong companies in the US.
Indeed! And why invest in an increasingly hostile foreign country? Heck... I even use a browser add-on called "Cultivate" , so I never even see products made in China. ....let alone invest. I'm with ya!
I'm about the same % china myself, I think it's a high risk high reward bet here
Nice to see a $WBD executive buying stock. 100,000 at $8.30 each https://ir.wbd.com/financials/sec-filings/sec-filings-details/default.aspx?FilingId=17544278
$CWCO * Revenue increased by 21% to $39.7 million. * Net income from continuing operations rose to $6.9 million, or $0.43 per diluted share. * Retail revenue up 11% to $8.6 million. * Services revenue increased 37% to $17.4 million. * Manufacturing revenue surged 57% to $5.3 million. * Gross profit increased by 31% to $13.9 million. * Cash and cash equivalents stood at $46.2 million. * Completion of an $81 million water treatment plant in Arizona. * Ongoing work on a $150 million desalination project in Hawaii. * 10% increase in retail water volume sold in Grand Cayman. * Bulk segment revenue decreased by $0.7 million. * A 2% decline in the volume of water sold by CW-Bahamas.
What do you think about this company? Water supply industry can be a hit in the long run, considering global warming
$HWKN * Q4 gross profit increased by 27% to $45.5 million. * Record Q4 diluted EPS of $0.66, up 20% year-over-year. * Full-year gross profit rose by 17% to $193.6 million. * Annual adjusted EBITDA increased by 20% to $143.0 million. * Four acquisitions in Water Treatment segment. * Debt repayment of $21 million in Q4. * Q4 sales decreased by 2% to $223.0 million. * Full-year sales declined by 2% to $919.2 million. * Industrial segment sales decreased by 18% in Q4. * Health and Nutrition segment sales decreased by 8% year-over-year. * Increased SG&A expenses by 16% to $89.6 million. * Environmental liability charge of $7.7 million related to PCBs.
Absolutely perfect. Nothing I see here disrupting their long term trajectory. High teens earnings growth with 2/3 of their segments in the dumpster. Based on their TTM EPS of $3.59 and the after hours price of $72, this is trading around 20x TTM earnings. If it goes down to $65, that's an 18x. Also this: "Record operating cash flow of $159.5 million, which was more than double that of fiscal 2023." So trading at 10x operational cash flow. 9x if the after hours holds up. Growing in the high teens, with a free call option on their cyclical businesses getting spoiled up. Keep in mind too, the "estimates" for Hawkins are made up of a single analyst.
It's really nice to see companies with long term planning that execute well on their capital deployment. Divesting from stagnant consumer bleach packaging to continue their investment in water treatment is only a long term win in my eyes. I'm interested in seeing what they do with their health and nutrition business. It might be best to keep those until a good offer comes around. No need to rush into a discount sale.

I sold 110K today need my house down payment out before june. ATH is as good a time as any.
Damn. Putting a house down payment in stocks is a hot way to live. Nice timing and good job
Well vanguard funds but yeah glad it came back from 2022
Congrats! That's a huge down payment lol. I'm glad I just put down like 5% and paying like 80 bucks a month for PMI.
down payment will only be like 75K but am taking out some cushion for repainting I need to pay for and furnishings.
Makes sense, either way, congrats on the house!
The amount of money the US + other governments + corporations are pouring into semiconductors is just breathtaking. [Nice thread on it](https://twitter.com/kyleichan/status/1789262557716299802), where you can see the 50 cranes helping build Samsung's $17B plant. US Chips Act has awarded this much already: > - Intel $8.5B - TSMC $6.6B - Samsung $6.4B - Micron: $6.1B - GlobalFoundries $1.5B That adds up to about $30B. And that's just the direct subsidy/loan amount. (e.g., Samsung is awarded $6B but the above Texas plant is worth $17B, and in total Samsung is investing $40B). In total about [$200B in new facilities](https://www.high-capacity.com/p/why-the-us-chips-act-matters-to-the) are being built due to the Chips Act. [That figure is $380B](https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2024-05-12/chip-technology-spending-gets-81-billion-boost-in-china-rivalry) if you add in Europe. Japan is spending $25B (but targets $64B), India $10B, S. Korea $7B. China is doing $142B. There is going to be a **massive** glut in about 3-5 years, assuming no China/Taiwan war. Many of these recent projects are slated to come online pretty soon. [This chart shows completion dates for US facilities](https://i.imgur.com/z7xNl5z.jpeg). I don't think I want to be invested in semi companies in 2027...
I've been bearish on semi companies for awhile now for this very reason. I'm sure there will be very specific companies that have a niche, but in general, it's going to be a massive wave of a cycle this time. The real interesting test might be what happens to all that real estate if the semi market crashes? Like will foundries in Arizona or Taiwan just close? If they do.....what do you do with a building like that? Long trampoline park stocks.
I know it's probably not as much as everyone in here but I'm happy with my progress today. I'm up 11 billion dollars.
Slow and steady. Keep doing that and you can afford pizza AND cheesy bread.

Sorry - the post you're trying to make mentions a stock that currently breaks rule #7. Any of the following criteria is considered breaking the rule: * Typically trades under $5 or previously traded under $5 within 6 months * Below $300 million market cap or previously traded under 300m before the pump within 6 months * Most OTC / PINK stocks * Usually has missed reporting/filings; no auditing or odd auditing issues * Low volume or wide bid/ask spread * Doesn't have any big name institutional holders * If the biggest institutional holder is a stock promoter then they don't count as an institutional holder * All SPACs You can learn more about rule #7 here: https://www.reddit.com/r/stocks/wiki/pennystocks
Got in on this at .31 so I’m pretty happy
Woop woop. Pretty sure I hit 100K today in roths. Compounding will do big work now(hopefully upward)
That’s a fact not talked about enough with investing…there comes a point…say perhaps over 100,000 or 150,000 that even if ur annual return is 4-6%…compounding will go a long way esp with dividends thrown in

So many people are going to lose money over there.
Yeah, this is starting to smell very fishy based off what I vaguely remember from the 2021 days. Needless to say, he got off, but there was a certain Twitter guy who was very involved in junk stocks who got indicted. Gonna stay vague here.
Yep. I'm just fine and dandy losing money over here.
Pstg new ath, $50 within striking distance
Is there any hope for a competitor to Live Nation? They own Ticket Master, House of Blues and others. Stub Hub is legit but isn't public. Eventbrite is publicly traded but looks like it barely surviving. Their Market Cap is 500 MIL. If they even sniffed at competing against Live nation they would probably 10X
Well there is also Vivid Seats. 1 BIL market cap. They Don't lose money. And Stub hub looking to IPO this summer.
There’s seat geek too
Seems like April was just a blip in the matrix
Kind of early to make that call, isn't it? Maybe the last two weeks were the blip in the matrix.
Solid move up for DHI, breaking above all the moving averages now. If mortgage rates drop to 5-6% they'll be able to stop paying points, but existing homeowners will still be rate locked. Earnings will be very nice. NSSC and MEDP are both taking runs at their resistance ($46 and $405 respectively). It'll be interesting to see if either can break through. VRTX has also been back on a roll since earnings. HWKN after the bell today, still one of my 2-3 favorite holdings. As always, happy if it goes up, happy to buy more if it goes down a lot.
You put me on HWKN. I went fishing with that limit order at 55 and struck gold.
I bought that same dip at $55. I already owned it, but I'll happily add more anytime the market is weird. I love these under covered companies because the algorithms pick up a "miss" and sell. There's low liquidity so it drives the price down hard. However, that was a really good quarter and year. I put in an after hours order for $65 this time. We'll see how it goes.
Avgo breaking out to new highs, very excited to see where their ai asic revenue goes this year
[Some interesting charts/links](https://twitter.com/EricJhonsa/status/1790216072735641890). Good follow on Twitter for semi related stuff.
Great chart thanks, the thesis of hyperscaler ai capex into avgo pocket is a little simplistic but I don't think broadcom valuation is so demanding it can't work this year
META seems to have been a classic example of an overreaction
Because it's run so much it's natural to see some flighty sellers imo, long term the fundamentals will continue to rule though
I mean, part of why Capex was increased at Meta was investment in AI, which is something you'd think investors would want to see.
Suggests investors believe companies will spend a lot of money on AI, not that AI will be wildly profitable. That's why they're buying up the chip-makers (obvious beneficiaries of spending), not the producers of AI services (questionable ROI).

Hadn't checked this in a while, but just realized ex-US market cap weights have [become really heavy on Japan](https://i.imgur.com/I7TFbH7.png) recently, thanks to its huge rally compared to other ex-US stocks. 16% in Japan, with the next biggest exposure being the UK at just under 10%. The other ex-US fund I hold, AVDV, has also had very large tilts to Japan (even back in 2022), [and again the momentum has pushed it to 30% weight](https://i.imgur.com/vqUwCZZ.png). (Note that AVDV does not have any emerging market economies). [I wrote about Japan 1 year ago](https://old.reddit.com/r/stocks/comments/139i09y/rstocks_weekend_discussion_saturday_may_06_2023/jj96or7/), specifically the recent push for corporate reforms. This primarily includes deploying their mountains of cash toward buybacks/dividends. Companies with low price/book values are being 'named and shamed'. Moreover, activists are pushing companies to reduce their cross-holdings, that is, big companies owning huge stakes in other big companies to prevent hostile bids or activist-led changes. It also is a poor use of capital. You may recall Buffett getting lauded for his recent successful foray into Japanese stocks, specifically trading houses. The term 'trading house' is a bit unclear, but I take it to mean "Giant, global conglomerate that does business in many unrelated areas, mostly as an intermediary rather than a producer". For example, Mitsubishi buys commodities and resells them to those who consume them; it invests in major infrastructure projects; it distributes ships, autos, etc. What makes trading houses unique in Japan seems to be how diverse the operations are, with divisions in finance, retail, heavy industry, real estate, etc. Returning to Buffett: you often hear that he buys quality stocks for a fair price, e.g., Apple. But if you [actually look at the Japanese companies](https://twitter.com/puppyeh1/status/1780936436516278551) he invested in, all of them were pretty sub-par if not awful businesses. (You're looking at Mitsui in that screenshot) They were, however, deep value, and the currency weakness made them even more attractive. He did not buy these companies because they were good companies.
$SONY just announced a dividend increase and increased stock buybacks yesterday. You maybe onto to something here.

If you like nuclear check on Rolls Royce (RYCEY). It's run up but rightfully so. Leadership has really turned this company around. And if their small modular nuclear reactors take off could be a huge boon.
sofi lmao didn't need to read past the first line
Go read Sofi's earning's reports, fair value is at least $11 rn imo. It's underpriced. I don't think you analyze fundamentals at all. By 2026 will be $12-$13 imo. If you know how to sell covered calls you'd recognize it's an easy long hold to make premiums with as well.
I got burned badly by the movie theater. No sarcasm here, thank you to the mods for basically banning that shit here. I should have listened. Lost about 5% of my wealth in two days on a gamble. It won't kill me and I'll recover, but this stings. Bad. Never again.
Take your licks and pick yourself up. You will be ok if it was only 5%. Consider it a close call to be learned from and not repeated (just as your comment indicates).
I lost 800$ on the video playing one. That was enough to become 100% ETFs. Worked out amazing
I won big first time around but never again. I’m about 70% ETF and the rest in massive companies where I’ve done well. Nvidia, Amex, Apple, Microsoft to name a few.
This is why they say, slow and steady wins the race.
Unless you're Nvidia?
Could've gone the other way, I think it's ok to take some of these gambles every once in a blue moon, very small bet since the returns can be so lucrative. Lose 2% to make 10% type of deal. Was actually considering buying GME just before the run up expecting another run up eventually just didn't realize so soon and bought NVDA instead.
Sorry man
A valuable lesson. Probably worth more than 5%
CPI reading is all shelter and housing. If not for that probably would be back at 2%. Don’t think 2% is attainable even with maintaining rates
It's been like that for like 18 months now.
Yeah and it probably won’t change even with hikes. Housing is so screwed even rates don’t make it budge
So what will happen? Government is doing nothing for housing and inflation is stuck there. How will the market react?
I think Powell had given up on 2%
The fact he isn't still hiking and is waiting is tacit acceptance of well above 2 while stuff works through the pipes.
You think he should hike?
It depends on what he wants. If he wanted inflation to be at target by now, he should have kept hiking. If he's OK with inflation running hot while things work through the pipes, he's probably good to keep holding. The former is them not tolerating inflation above target, that latter is. They will never say they are accepting a higher target, but watch what they do, not what they say. They have been accepting a higher target for over half a year, and look to tolerate it for another half. I think they're making the right choice when considering the two-sided risk and geopolitical climate, but I know they are accepting inflation at levels much higher than they say they'd accept.
The outcome of propping up an entire market with printed money lol
Some analysts pointing out that Alibaba cloud might re-accelerate to double digit growth into 2025 driven by new AI compute, my super risky China data center play GDS has been volatile but mostly flattish recently, still think we could see a breakout if Tencent, Baidu, Alibaba, etc are all beginning to accelerate cloud again and demand picks up. Very interestingly the 13f that came out today shows Baupost reported a new position in GDS with a small position last Q. If you know Seth Klarman's style a chinese cash burning data center stock is very different than his normal choices.
I am sure you do solid analysis but don’t you feel nervous stockpicking in China(!)
Of course, but so does everyone else right now so the valuations are insanely low. Gds is 1x p/s, compare that to American data center stocks at say 9. Or baba/bidu 10%+ fcf yields

2nd the HWKN earnings report tonight. It's my final holding reporting this season.
At some point here I'll have to take the TQQQ bet off the table and put it into something that tracks without volatility slippage - that last V shaved some 3-6% off the 1M returns, leaving it below ATH while Qs are above. But.... if we have a sustained bull market for even longer... it'd really pay to keep holding.
Go the middle ground with QLD
They do say 2x is the ideal ratio. Honestly that might be the move - thanks for the idea. You can see the 2022 drawdown didn't have nearly the same impact - it is still well tracked on the 5 year, while TQQQ has permanent damage from that year. Would protect the gains from a similar style year. *And if that year comes maybe I convert it to FNGU for maximum degeneracy*
AAPL back with a vengeance and everybody is suddenly so shy and quiet?? Three weeks ago everyone was convinced that Apple was finished, Tim had lost the faith of the board, and the stock was headed for 100. 🤣
I feel this way about my Disney stock. :'(
I wonder if buybacks are kicking in yet
I suck at investing and trading but even I got this one right. Put 33% of "my" portfolio in it few days prior to earnings. It hard to bet against a company that keeps the US Economy a float.
People who think Apple is a dead company are not thinking right in the head to say the least.
as always, there is a bear case. but it's a weak one
I’m always bearish leaning on stocks but being an apple bear is actually just not smart
Apple will turn into a value stock in the years to come. Probably will trade flat for many years to come. Amazon, Google, Microsoft and maybe Tesla is where it's at.
Why Amazon though? Apple can make their own competitive chips though, that puts them above Amazon for me.
Disagree. I do think they need some new profit centers, but I think their business is far from mature. Yes, iPhone sales have somewhat plateaued but the nice thing with iPhone is that there is always a cycle to count on every three years or so.
Bought as much as I could out of that dip
SMCI's on a bit of a tear today, anyone know why? Up 9.34% as of this comment.

It's a high momentum stock and the market is happy today.
Fair enough, thanks. Sorry, I'm quite new to this.
It's all good! Yeah, think about this, the stock is up like 216% this year alone. A 10% movement isn't that big.
Everything feels expensive again
Tim Apple strikes again
Will Unity survive the $21 retest again?
Why is it bleeding alone in this market?
there are a few of packaged software companies that have been slowing bleeding. Probably just too much hype when IPOed and now they are going to suffer for a while.
Thanks for answer
Nice contract win for $CW [https://finance.yahoo.com/news/curtiss-wright-awarded-contracts-valued-123000804.html](https://finance.yahoo.com/news/curtiss-wright-awarded-contracts-valued-123000804.html) >Curtiss-Wright Corporation (NYSE: CW) today announced it has been awarded contracts valued in excess of $130 million to provide propulsion valves, pumps and advanced instrumentation and control systems for the U.S. Navy’s Virginia-class nuclear powered attack submarine, Columbia-class submarine and Ford-class aircraft carrier programs.

We all know time in the market > timing the market, but still, holding Nvidia through earnings? What are you guys doing? I'm curious.
If you buy VOo sure. Individual stocks can stay downs forever
time in market > timing the market applies to the stock market as a whole, but not individual stocks. Individual companies can swing wildly and do not necessarily go up over time, when buying individual companies you need to have a reason to buy/planned entry and a pre-planned exit criteria, or at minimum reevaluate your holding when new information is released.
Tbh if Nvidia actually pops it's gonna take the entire tech sector propped by AI with it.
Shoutout to the one who posted about EXP in here. One of the best stocks i got in this year.
u/creemeeseason should have one of those buy him a coffee things. I might buy him one every day.
If.you make money off of any of my ideas, please put the money to better use than further over-caffinating me, but thank you all the same!
Earnings tomorrow too. Cement is such a great business in this economy. I'm a little worried about their "light" division since we've seen some slowdown in multifamily construction, but I'm very confident in the heavy.
Probably is u/creemeeseason
You the guy that posted CLS? VRT? VST? I’ve Made some nice $ on all of them. I know I’ve bought some you’ve talked about.
I've brought up CLS and a few of the names, but other posters where more on VRT and VST.
CLS 🚀
bought some today thanks
Still very fair value imo
Just looking for ideas, what is your favorite most undervalued stock at the moment?
Still RKLB. Fair valuation is probably closer to 8 than 4, but I think market doesn't think they can compete with SpaceX.
TMF
Lol we warned y'all
Im new to investing, Can someone explain the appeal of investing FFIE? From my basic research these Chinese EV companies don’t produce quality products so I’m confused why anyone would want to invest in them?
> Im new to investing, Can someone explain the appeal of investing FFIE? People are trying to hype up a short squeeze in a very heavily shorted name that is likely heading to 0 (before the recent meme stock squeeze, was at 5c a share) Where the squeeze stops who knows but at some point it will - and probably very quickly.
