OT: Stock and Investment Thread

[RU05]

Bought a starter position in SPCX.

Added to PLTR.

Added to ARBE which has been a piece of junk, but beat on earnings this morning. Sub $100 mil market cap.

I have INDI, another poj, this afternoon.

JOBY climbing today.

reported QoQ revenue growth of 56%. Raised full year rev guidance, to $115m-$125mil. Which given this qtr's rev of $36mil, still sounds light.

Still very expensive.

Yeah, this is long play. If they can start flying in Dubai by the end of the year and get FAA cert I'm sure it'll get a good momentum boost. After that, all comes down to revs and being able to scale.

Joby is one of my biggest spec positions. I put it in the SpaceX category. Gotta believe in short distance air travel and conquering space and basically ignore the rollercoaster in the short term for both stocks.

Phoenix suns owner’s company fell below $1 today and down 75% YTD. Housing and mortgage market is still a disaster that nobody seems to talk about.

United Wholesale Mortgage plunges 40% after suspending dividend and raising capital

"We're taking decisive action to make UWM stronger, more liquid and better positioned to win for years to come," CEO Mat Ishbia said in a statement.

Current expectations are for monster growth over the next 3 years.

DIS followed up a lukewarm 3.5% day on earnings yesterday with a 2.5% day today.

Cheap and unloved for a bit now.

Woke Disney really hurt the brand. And I could care less about most of that stuff but the new content is brutal. On the other hand I’m a sucker for the parks experience. But until they stop checking boxes on a casting sheet and rebuild the brand the stock will probably continue to trade aimlessly.

Toy story supposedly did very well for dtc

I own JOBY in my spec basket as well. I believe my cost basis is in the low $8 range. Happy to hold for the next few years and see what happens!

NET has been performing well. Excellent earnings bounce!

 

[RU05]

Team up 30%

i used to own it

This move is off an already nice bounce off the bottom. Might be at resistance.

 

[RU05]

ABNB also a nice move on earnings. 8%

By the way, I see that DDOG got crushed today. Was that due to guidance? I like buying stocks that dump on earnings even after a double beat.

I refi’d with this company during covid. I think they were advertising on this site. They went all in on mortgages at 3% for 30 year fixed. Clearly a losing strategy and ironically they just sold my mortgage about 3 months ago to another company.

up 25% off today's lows.

Now that I think about it, I owned it for a bit. May have may made some on it. Not all my sales come back to bite me on the ***.

Had a 21% div.......before they cut it.

Edit: I might buy some.

Meta’s LLM is a bit late to the party but making very fast gains. Like Elon, I think Zuck is hard to bet against

Harder to outperform the market/benchmark with too many stocks. Perhaps 40-50 should be tops?

I’ve started trimming in an effort to stay between 10-20. Ideally get to 10 or less.

I have serious doubts about OpenAi and Anthropic valuations. AI models are training themselves and seems like the barrier to entry is much lower now. Google, Meta, SpaceX, etc. not to mention a new start-up almost everyday entering the race, then you have China. The fact that they were racing to go public and all of a sudden put on the brakes is a bad sign. I think there is a possibility that OpenAI and Anthropic get squeezed, or open weight wins, and both are basically worthless.

If it goes much lower next stop is probably bankruptcy…then again Oaktree and Ishbia Family just pumped in some capital and the warrants don’t kick in until $2 and $6. Tempting gamble.

SOUN following yesterday’s 10% move with another double digit day

that is highly concentrated.

Not your main account though correct?

Bought SOUN Jan 2027 $10 calls.....to see if this is the start of a new rally. SOUN had pumped to $20+ a few times very quickly. Small position.

Man. What a week.

The OG infrastructure play was fiber optics back in 2001. TSLA is down 29% YTD.

The bears are gloating. We are nearing the bottom.

Nailed it.

Now me gloating probably means a short term top but what the hell.

 

[T2Kplus20]

I want you to make money. I’m not the type that gloats at others misery. I just don’t want you to lose your shirt and stop donating to RU.

Great week fellas. May we have more and more weeks like this. Drink up!!

Have a large position…waiting to see it rip again!

It’s funny that the rally started with Beasent hinting we have a deal with Iran by this week. These guys sure know how to tell everyone what they want to hear.

Iran is proving they are crazier and smarter than anyone thought.

UWMC up another 6+% and then another 2% in extended.

35% off of yesterdays lows.

Hard to catch such a move, but that's as impressive as any the past couple days.

 

[RU05]

Have a large position…waiting to see it rip again!

What leads you to having such a conviction?
