Like most huge IPOs, this will likely be a major flop. I’m also perfectly fine missing out if not
I have pretty nice positions in all 3. These always seem to take turns based on nothing more than what’s hot. Google was left for dead before this rally, I’ve been told Microsoft is trash many times over the years. Amazon is the one that kinda lurks in the back, but always has a foot in everything. Over the next 5 years, each of these 3 will probably be “the best company in the world” at some point

Ah, well excuse my ignorance. I don’t follow the entertainment industry too closely

Is it bad that I’ve owned Amazon for about a decade and had no idea they owned MGM? :lol:

Bingo. I’ve got 2 AMD 500s that I will happily part with. Then I’ll sell puts on Meta or Microsoft
When I no longer see the value, I’m out. Could be weeks, months, years or decades. There’s no science
Eventually the rebound will be sustained. As soon as people realize the big boys aren’t going bankrupt, the narrative will flip and they’ll fly. In the meantime, they’re buying back loads of cheap shares and I’m loading up as they fall.

This is getting out of control. I feel like once AMD meets the demand for their chips (~2 years from now), capex spending will dry up and this will crash hard. I’m a proud owner for now though

Market’s closed Monday
Prior to today’s game, it was like 60% successful challenges. They mentioned it on the broadcast, like 30/50 or something. I don’t remember exactly

ETA: Gotta be like 7/8 just today uh? With several others missed badly that weren’t challeneged
Gotta admit, he was my guy for like 2 weeks

I see you've mentioned CRM, what's the temperature on that one
. I just love the valuation. They generate as much FCF as Walmart and are actively buying back tons of shares. Growth could slow to zero (probably won’t happen) and it would still be fairly priced. If they keep growing at a modest 5%, you’ll get a hell of a return.

And if Agentforce actually works the way Benioff says it will, well then, CRM is a sleeping giant

I’m on the fence about NOW, mainly because I don’t get it. I hear good things about them, but I don’t really understand enterprise workflows that well, so for that reason, I’m out.
Also, I don’t know if I can trust Ashley Shaeffer to guide that company going forward.

I may be way off, but I feel much better about how CRM, ADBE, and MSFT are positioned
Had lunch at La Caretta today…

Told the girl, “I’ll do your chile rellenos”. They were fantastic

I’m not selling, they’re sitting on a rock solid floor with incredible upside.

It’s a Heads, you win, Tails, you don’t lose much scenario imo.
Well, if we’ve seen the bottom, I like where I’m at. I own ~100 each of MSFT, CRM, and ADBE. Will gladly buy more if we pull back again
While the commutative property argument is very real for some people, it assumes the same tax rate now and later, which really isn’t the case for many…

Traditional: $10k - no tax - x2 = $20k - 12% taxed = $17,600 spendable

Roth: $10k - 22% tax = $7800 - x2 = $15,600 - no tax = $15,600 spendable

This is why I contribute 100% of my 401k traditional and supplement with 2 Roth IRAs and cash.

IPO
Put em on your watchlist and wait.
If it runs away, oh well, move on.
If it drops like mostly all of them, get your shares at a much better price later.


Should be interesting regardless
Gotta appreciate the determination

Never give up! :lol:
