Yeah, this morning I am almost at a triple on BROS in 6 months. Debating taking my initial investment off the table like I think @Todem has recommended in here before.

TTD is getting slaughtered today so BROS popping is offsetting that. Good to be diversified!

Take your original investment out. We did that with TTD at 126 a share….still up 27% in TTD despite the slaughter today. But it’s all house money the shares I still have.

Do it.

Find another good stock at a value or build some powder for a crappy day or week or even month in the market to reinvest.

Diversify and take the win when you make over 100%.

That’s how portfolios are built for the very long term.

Thanks, was leaning that way so i appreciate the reassurance. Thoughts on adding more TTD at these levels after the haircut today?

Flutter and Donkey Kong are back. After the worst 1/4s in 20 years for books. Faves (and the public) crushed it, for months! Crazy. Go look and see for yourself the amounts wagered on the Super Bowl, it's staggering. And it ain't stopping. Even with the less than ideal outcome, books still made a killing.

Sure, it's a little late now to jump in after both Coke and Pepsi crushed, but you could see it a mile away. A total statistic anomaly, the prior quarter. And now they're rolling in it.

Oh, hi March Madness, nice to see you.

Hard to argue with the man who views Die Hard 2 the way I do too. Initiated a small position just now.

 

[SFBayDuck]

Out of Applovin on the 25% pop today. Don't know what the company does. Assume I bought it on a recommendation here that sounded good at the time. 5x in less than a year. Wish they all were like this.

I follow someone on Twitter who's been ripping on this company, calling it a scam, that it's reliant on MLM, and claiming she's short. She's having a fun day.

 

[Bob Sacamano]

Always good to just google, "BROS" and leave the word "ticker" off.

I'm at work so definitely not doing this, but if I guess you'll get a selection of male bras for sale would I be right?

I always get the gay rom com movie of the same name - until I have to add “stock”.

This. Were I in an office, the grab### pic that comes up on screen would have been fun to explain to random walkers-by. Or a boss.

Had my wife walked by, she would have just assumed they were pictures of Ryan Reynolds.

Yup, don’t even know how I ended up following her, and for all I know she could be crazy. I’m not taking investment or trading advice from her, that’s for sure.

Up 15% today.

I want to short PLTR so bad. Talk me off the ledge.

 

[McBokonon]

I agree with you but it has GME and DJT meme energy that you can’t really predict.

 

[Dr_Zaius]

I feel the same about SMCI, but there's enough irrationality and confusion about it that I just can't pull the trigger.

Agree with both of you but I’d never short them because of the irrationality of it. SMCI makes me laugh. The strong positive return after a quarter where they completely missed their estimates by a lot and where they still haven’t even filed their way overdue docs was all just ignored when the CEO threw out a huge number that we won’t know if they’ll achieve until January of 2027. How do you short something like that? Palantir is the opposite of that in terms of the business doing great. It’s just when your price to sales ratio is at 100, you will get taken to the woodshed soon. We’ve seen tons of tech companies get up to 50-60 P/S and get torched. 100 P/S is well beyond that.

And then there's CVNA with a P/E ration of 31,068.

 

[stbugs]

Welp, after not selling a few things at a high, I divested of AXON at $705. Love the company and stock but I feel like it’s gotten rich enough for me. I’ll take the 340% return and not worry about the earnings report next week. It’s not PLTR like P/S (28), but an almost 200 P/E seems worrisome. It’s in an IRA so no taxes.

 

[stbugs]

Yeah, that’s a bit heavy. I don’t get why it’s P/S ration is 6x Carmax’s since they really do seem like similar businesses.

Tailing you here. 462% return. It was a good run.

 

[Desert_Power]

Feel like I need to actually look at what PLTR is up to lately since folks are calling it a meme stonk now. Last bought shares 3 years ago.

As a guy whos wife has worked there 15 years and we have 15 years worth of espp, bonuses, etc.

Thank God.
14% and $26.99 right now

 

[Worm]

PLTR

This is not a stock to short any time soon, regardless of your views on its price metrics.

They are not missing estimates or guidance any time in the next year. They are embedded in our military, and that will only continue. US commercial growing 50%+ YoY. They are the only legitimate AI play that are demonstrating business use cases and value RIGHT NOW.

The only way this touches $100 again is via a VERY broad market pullback.

Just a guy on the internet with an opinion, but I have followed this one for a long time.

 

[General Malaise]

Gold creeping up towards $3,000.....

Silver with a bump above $32. Hi HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO SILVER

 

[Todem]

DE hit $500 today.

 

[pecorino]

Accumulating LMT, trading at relative lows. Goes ex-dividend in early March. Holding until WWIII which may not be all that long term.

Lots of defense stocks got whacked over the last couple weeks. Because politics/DOGE blah blah. Probably a good opportunity to scale in to good names.

 

[KGB]

If INTC gets to $60, I think I'll have lose to 7 figures. I along time holding.

Yes. I wish invested in anything but. But let's go baby

I'm in it until it reaches $30

Bought it on the dip, out (hopefully) for 20% gain

Bump for gloating purposes. I ended up buying three puts at the money when it was trading at $120 (at $10.50 each). Nice quick double-up assuming the price drop holds in the morning.

Blah, blah, blah, government, blah, blah, blah. Plus the PE ratio was pushing four digits.

Price to sales was over 100 lmao

 

[NajehHejan]

My spidey sense feels a 5-10% correction coming soon. In my traditional IRA, I trimmed some PLTR, HIMS, and NVDA to build some rainy day cash. I am hoping against a correction, but felt it prudent to book some profits.

Well, that and the CEO announcing a stock sale plan of well over $1 billion.

I will still stand behind:

-PLTR US commercial growth is not stopping
-PLTR contracts/military opportunities are not the spending cut target and in fact they will be part of the cut identification benefactors

I am also fairly sure (but have not researched) the Karp sell is pre-planned per usual. It is not the first time the PLTR market has overracted to SBC or insider planned selling.

Kind of. It's not that he's selling. It's that he changed his sale plan.

"It was also revealed today that CEO Alex Karp had canceled his previous trading plan, replacing it with one that would allow him to sell nearly 10 million shares -- worth roughly $1.1 billion today -- over the next eight months.

Although his previous plan allowed him to sell nearly five times as many shares, the timing of the news may have made today's dip worse."

This is the only thing I've seen that alludes to the change. Everything is focused on the new plan. So not sure what the ACTUAL delta is. But based on this one blurb about it, it seems like you're still correct that perception may not align with reality.

 

[ConstruxBoy]

Wife has been bugging me to de-risk some because she doesn't trust the direction of our country, to put it mildly. So sold out of a lot of overpriced Growth stuff in all 4 of our retirement accounts this morning. Took about 25% off the table. I'll put it in the HY money market account for a bit to see what happens.
I'm pretty calm about the markets and our country long term but her peace of mind is worth forgoing any missed gains.

 

[Desert_Power]

Yeah, falling another 5% while I took a shower was too much for me. I'll take the 4x gain on this one. Would have taken it more 24 hours ago.

Sold two puts, figured I can let the third one ride for a while in case PLTR deflates down to the 50 - 60 - 70 range. Seems like decent support jumped in around $95, though, to stabilize it for the time being.
