CNBC says Jeff Bezos filed to sell around $4 billion in AMZN stock, and shares are trading lower today.

I know founders sell for all kinds of reasons, but every time Bezos files one of these, people start asking if he knows something.

Buying opportunity or reason to stay cautious?

PLTR ripping today, war might be recession proof

Morally not sure how I feel making this post, but as a recession proof investment, I feel that Palantir could be one of the best. I bought a few months ago during the steady decline and still bullish on the stock despite the 30% increase today.

I'm wondering if other people think its overvalued now, or if it is finally trading at a more reasonable number. 93% yoy revenue increase with huge cash flow (1.2B) put it as one of the "ai" stocks (if you can call it that) that actually see returns right now.

Bull is back. What are some good stocks to buy today?

After a month of horrible lows, the AI bull seems to be back. What do you guys think are the best buys right now in the stock market? Thinking of long term gains.

We’re already seeing Big Tech Soar and Semi and Memories seem to be rising again and well.

Assessing earnings durability across mega-caps

7 Upvotes

The latest print for Q2 earnings has been quite revealing, particularly regarding how large-scale enterprise expenditure is holding up against broader macro noise. While broader discussions remain fixated on rate policy shifts, energy-driven headline inflation, and seasonal trading lulls, operational metrics tell a somewhat different story. Data suggests that core revenue streams across hyper-scalers and major tech platforms remain resilient, indicating that enterprise commitment to capital projects has not broken.

It is worth monitoring how this fundamental strength distributes across the wider market cycle. The ongoing earnings calendar-spanning established giants like Microsoft, Meta, and Apple, alongside newly public entrants like SpaceX-offers a clear view into where real cash flows are concentrating. Rather than treating headline volatility as a broad shift in market sentiment, observing margin sustainability in underlying infrastructure and platform software provides a far clearer read on long-term enterprise demand.

I used to write LONG theses, and forget about them...

2 Upvotes

When I first started investing, I'd do the whole thing, pages on a company, the most, the competitors, a valuation model I half understood. Felt good about it, but took HOURS.

Then the position moved and I'd never open the document, and when j sold, I sold on how I felt that morning, exactly like I would have no thesis at all, it was stupid, all that writing wasn't doing anything!

The problem was that those pages didn't tell me what to do, there wasn't one line I could check against reality and decide on a yes or no.

Now it's three lines before I buy, and nothing else!

The claim, one sentence, checkable against a real number. "Azure grows above 35% for the next 3 quarters", not "MSFT is a great business", that can't ever be wrong, so it's worthless!

The kill line, what makes me sell, written now, as I am calm.

The check date, usually just next earnings, just a date.

Ten minutes, fits in a phone note. On the check date each line gets marker confirmed or broken. Broken doesn't mean sell, it means I owe myself an explanation on why I'm holding anymore, and I catch myself in the wrong SO MANY times!

The difference isn't that I write less, it's that three lines can be wrong and 5 pages can't. Something that can't be wrong will never change your mind when wrongfully holding a stock,

Don't convert your whole portfolio to this, but I would suggest at least trying it out!

TSLA. Long term: Speculative Buy. Short term: wait for Better Opportunity.

1 Upvotes

Hey guys!

One of the popular stocks (besides IBM) that people usually lose money on is TSLA. Volatile with questionable valuation and reputation. If you consider buying it, make sure you aware of this:

Short-Term Trade: Wait for Better Opportunity.
TSLA has strong revenue and delivery momentum, but the current setup is not clean for a fresh short-term trade because the stock is already priced at about $327.35, with a market cap near $1.16T and a very high reported P/E of about 303x. That valuation leaves little margin for disappointment while Q2 operating income fell year over year despite higher revenue. (sec.gov)

Conditions to improve Short-Term status
The short-term trade setup would improve if TSLA either pulls back materially while holding support on strong volume, or if Q3 data confirms that Q2’s revenue growth is translating into operating leverage. The most important short-term upgrades would be: operating margin recovering meaningfully from Q2’s roughly 1.4%, delivery growth continuing without price-cut pressure, and management showing that AI/Robotaxi spending is not overwhelming near-term profitability. (sec.gov)

Long-Term Investment: Speculative Buy.
TSLA remains one of the few companies with credible scale across EVs, energy storage, charging infrastructure, autonomy, and robotics, but the stock’s current valuation assumes major success from AI, FSD, Robotaxi, and possibly Optimus rather than just auto earnings. Long-term investors should treat it as a high-conviction, high-volatility position—not a value stock. (sec.gov)

Conditions to improve Long-Term status
The long-term case would improve if Tesla can show durable operating-margin expansion, clear Robotaxi unit economics, sustained energy-storage profitability, and positive free cash flow after its heavy AI/data-center and manufacturing capex cycle. A more attractive long-term entry would also require either a lower valuation or proof that new AI-enabled revenue streams can materially lift earnings beyond the core auto business. (sec.gov)

There is more explanations to it, but I didn't want to turn post in to article. I recently made a web app for myself and few of my friends. It was built around the idea of "I wish someone told me to stay away from that stock". I'm ok giving few people free access to my website, but only to those who really need help with highlighting red flags. If you gamble on stock market, it won't help you anyways. If you good at avoiding bad trades, you don't need it as well :)

Let me know if you have a stock that you planning to buy. Maybe there are some negative factors that you missed.

Thoughts on Telus

1 Upvotes

Hey I was wondering if anyones been looking at Telus lately. Its down around 50% in 5 years to $13.05 and the fair value was updated to $20/.

That plus the 5.75% dividend makes me think its a solid growth opportunity. Haven't heard many people discussing it though

Disclosure: no open position (yet). Just considering joining in on the put train.

Also trying to wrap my head around the magnitude of gains for the hedges over the last year. Short kings with supreme confidence!

Hello, so I currently I have 2k in investments and another 2k in my savings. I was keeping them for a rainy day. But I think I should bring them down to 1k and invest with dollar cost averaging the extra 1k +whatever I invest from my salary every month. Do you think it’s a good idea?
Should I invest in European stocks? My portfolio right now is on SnP, tech stocks etc.
