Should I sell?

I bought the stock for the long run last year but now that I’m in such a profitable position I’m thinking of selling. Should I keep it as I intended or take the money and run?

Is it late to pick up MS?

MS is doing good lately so the question in my mind is: How long can it continue? Anyone care to comment and bring up some arguments. Please note that I’m buzzing the stock in hopes to profit from the rise, not as a long term investment.

Alphabet’s Q2 surge is exciting!

Alphabet’s stock climbed to $201.42 after strong Q2 results, driven by a 32% jump in cloud revenue thanks to AI demand. With an $85B investment plan and solid earnings, the outlook looks bright. As a shareholder, I’m excited - this could fuel growth... — read more 

IBM slips below pivot

IBM stock slid from $251.98 to $242.27 last week, with a sharp 3.15% drop Friday. As a holder, I wonder if it can rebound? It’s below its $251.40 pivot, but analysts see 1.5% upside. With AI and cybersecurity in focus, recovery’s possible. But it’s... — read more 

Time to sip or split?

PepsiCo has been one of those steady, reliable stocks in my portfolio. But lately, there’s been some rumbling about slowing growth, weaker volume, and tighter margins. It’s not crashing or anything, but the momentum seems to be fading. I’m not in a... — read more 

GOEV?

Should GOEV even be bought at this price right now?

GIB

Not a bad month. GIB had its ups and downs but things are getting better now.

Jakks Pacific

Jakks Pacific surprised by posting a small profit of $0.03/share this quarter, which is way better than the expected $–0.38 loss. But revenue still dropped 7.8% to $119 million, falling short of estimates. You win some, you lose some, I guess... — read more 

Not bad

Microsoft didn’t drop as much as the others this week, which is kind of a relief. They’re still pushing hard on AI, and that seems to be helping. And it certainly feels steadier than Amazon. In any case, Microsoft is not a stock you just unload, no... — read more 

NCR Voyix is getting some attention lately

Its strength rating went up, which usually means it’s doing better than most stocks. But earnings have been kind of flat, and revenue’s down, so it’s not all great. This is one of those that I like to keep my eye on for a while before I make a... — read more 

Not sure what's happening here

Amazon dropped hard - around 8% - after people didn’t like what they said about cloud revenue. I thought the earnings looked okay, but the future outlook kinda ki-led it. Seems like everyone was hoping for more. I’m still holding, but I’m watching... — read more 

You can never tell with Tesla

Tesla’s been bouncing around again. It was up earlier, but then it slid after some rough news about trade stuff and earnings nerves. I have no idea where it’s heading next. It’s like every time it climbs, something spooks the market. It definitely... — read more 

Thinking about buying UnitedHealth

UnitedHealth has taken a pretty big hit recently, and it feels like it could be a good chance to jump in. The company’s solid overall, and the experts still seem to like it. But with those missed earnings and legal issues hanging around, I’m not... — read more 

Tempted by Intel’s low price

Intel’s stock has dropped, and I’m thinking it might be a good time to buy in. It’s a big name, and the price looks cheap compared to its past. But I’ve read about struggles in the chip market and Intel losing ground to competitors. If it turns... — read more 

Second-guessing my Deere investment

I’ve held Deere stock for a while, thinking it was a safe long-term bet in a stable industry. But now with talk of weaker demand for farm equipment and a gloomy earnings outlook, I’m feeling unsure. Should I hold, sell, or even buy more while it’s... — read more 

HBIO

What's wrong with HBIO this month? I expected better than this and honestly I'm really disappointed. I should sell ASAP.

HAFC

Things are going great right now! I would hold HAFC for now.

Irrelevant

I think this thing here is irrelevant now, it has no use and it is of no use to anyone.

Mixed signals

Apple’s getting a bit of attention after Jefferies upgraded the stock to "Hold," but it didn’t feel super positive, especially with Apple’s falling behind on AI. Still, one big asset manager just bought a bunch more AAPL shares, adding over 140,000... — read more 

Earnings missed again

Weak outlook, missed revenue, missed earnings expectations... Is there anything to give some hope for the future?

No, for now

I read Centene dropped sharply (15% after missing expectations and lowering guidance) which got me thinking: is healthcare regulation risk finally catching up? It seems like too much uncertainty right now for a dividend buyer like me. At least for... — read more 

Who else is excited about Alphabet’s Q2?

Its cloud revenue up 32 percent gives us a sneak peek for Microsoft and Amazon. If they deliver too, the whole Mag 7 group might keep powering higher, but only if trade uncertainty doesn’t derail everything first. Things are looking good for now, and... — read more 

Still too risky

Deckers shot up 12% after earnings, and it sounds like they crushed it with Ugg and Hoka, with both showcasing strong performances. That’s great and all, but when you zoom out, they’re still way down for the year, so it's unclear if this is a real... — read more 

Perhaps overlooked?

Not sure if PHG could be considered a hidden gem or what but I rarely see it be mention these days... or ever, really. I think this is something that could look great in one's portfolio.

No-brainer

MO is an instant buy. Look at the stats. The stock speaks for itself in that regard.

We're entering "sell" territory

Ford is now on everyone’s sell‑lists, with tariff talk once again messing with margins. I drive a Ford, so I’m rooting for them, but costs are sneaking up. Global supply chain is still a mess, part prices everywhere. They’ve got electric models... — read more 

Is Halliburton a smart investment right now?

I’m looking to invest a bit in oil and gas, and Halliburton keeps coming up. I read that their profits dropped lately, but they’re still paying dividends and the stock seems undervalued. It looks like a solid company long-term, but is there a catch?... — read more 

Should I stay in or bail?

Boeing stock is creeping up again - on news of some big Japan deal? Is that even confirmed, or just more smoke? Hard to trust headlines these days when the Administration seems at war with truth. Is there real momentum here, or just another PR... — read more 

Investors are apparently buying the future, again

So now Musk is turning Tesla into a robotics and self-driving company, as if the world was just waiting for another overhyped promise. Forget EVs, forget quality issues, now it’s all about robotaxis! At $250+ per share, investors are apparently... — read more 

Hold or sell?

I’ve been holding Target stock for a while now and honestly not sure what to do. It’s been up and down, and I’ve seen mixed headlines lately. Some say to sell, others say it could bounce back. I’m not a market expert, just trying to make the right... — read more 

Goodbye (?)

I suppose if this performance continues then I have no choice to quit OCGN. But what if things improve, what then? I don't want to gamble here...

ZI tanked so hard

What happened to business data platforms being goldmines? Two years ago it felt like everyone needed it, now it’s in the dumps. If leadership doesn’t turn it around soon, I’m ditching. I might wait and watch Q3 earnings before I make my final... — read more 

The obesity/diabetes space is on fire

I'm noticing Novo Nordisk pop back on everyone’s radar with all this GLP‑1 craze. I guess slimming dr-gs are hot money right now. That Alzheimer study buzz is hot too, it could open a whole new market if true. I think this is a good investment at... — read more 

Things are changing

I’m starting to wonder if big oil is really on the way out. Prices are low and margins are squeezed. Some analysts still hang onto a rebound story, but to be frank, I don’t see it. Exxon’s dividend is solid, but what if the cycle really shifted?... — read more 

That hurt

IBM’s numbers didn’t impress and the stock got hit hard - down nearly 8%. I thought they'd be steadier, but tech is wild right now.

Buying VERO

I believe that this is the best time to be buying VERO. It had its up and downs but these days the performance is consistently good. I would buy it.

Looking for a good healthcare company stock.

I would appreciate some help. What should I be looking at when deciding which stock to buy in this sector? The price surely isn't it, because they’re all expensive. What performance indicators are most relevant and what mostly determines the... — read more 

Why do the analysts keep labeling Matel as a buy?

I don’t see any reason , no matter how hard I look. I mean, the company is a poor performer in an already dying industry, the Barbie movie didn’t help the company all that much, and the value of the stock never went over 45 dollars in history. What... — read more 

Considering buying Netflix. Is it worth it now?

I’m eyeing NFLX at ~$1,210. Q2 showed 16% revenue growth and AI‑boosted margins, and Netflix isn’t hit by trade tariffs since it’s digital. Still, it’s expensive, trading near 44–50x earnings, and much hinges on ad‑tier and international expansion... — read more 

Hold or sell?

Been holding BA for years, but lately I’m uneasy. I read about the Air India 787 crash, the first fatal Dreamliner incident, and now regulators want checks on fuel switches. Plus, there was that door‑plug issue on a 737 MAX. The stock was rallying... — read more 

Is a comeback still possible?

I’ve held INTC for years and it’s getting hard to stay confident. The dividend was cut, AI buzz is everywhere, but Intel keeps falling behind. AMD and Nvidia seem miles ahead. I hear about foundry investments and new chips, but the stock keeps... — read more 

Should I be worried?

I’ve held SBUX shares for a while now, and I’m starting to get concerned. The stock hasn’t really gone anywhere lately, and I just saw it downgraded to “Underperform.” Analysts mentioned something about China not doing well and traffic being soft... — read more 

JAKKS: A Turnaround Gem Still Undervalued

Been holding JAKKS and really impressed. Strong IPs like Sonic, Moana, Minecraft drove 26% Q1 sales growth. With no debt, solid margins, and smart moves into lifestyle products (Roxy, Juicy Couture), this cash-rich small-cap still trades cheap at... — read more 

Underperforming?

Is there any particular reason as to why MHO is underperforming right now? I don't know what's going on behind the scenes.

Never disappoints

Hopefully by saying MTSI never disappoints I don't end up jinxing it and it tanks next week or something.

Selling

Is it for the best to sell now or to wait until later? Not sure what's the wisest choice...

Is Aptiv one to watch for a future ride?

They’re one of those under-the-radar companies that could really benefit if self-driving cars take off. BofA says the autonomous vehicle world could hit $1.2 trillion by 2040, and Aptiv got a shout-out alongside Nvidia and Qualcomm. The idea makes... — read more 

Thinking about jumping into a momentum stock

I’ve been looking at this stock as they’re calling it a top momentum pick right now. It’s been trending up lately and has some strong rankings, though I don’t follow all the technical stuff too closely. From what I can tell, Crown Holdings is in a... — read more
