Today, Alibaba Group reported its results, which beat expectations. I don't like the politics in China and I don't know if I want to invest in Chinese stocks at the moment. However, if the share price drops to $85 or lower, I would probably think about buying.

Do you have $BABA stock in your portfolio and how do you view Chinese stocks?

I've mentioned ASML stock here a couple of times, a company I like a lot, and until a few weeks ago I wasn't sure whether I would buy this stock or not. Last week, despite the stock being high, I bought a portion of $ASML stock. I see great potential here and the company is expecting high revenue growth and overall expects great growth going forward.

I don't often buy stocks...

Investors, what stocks and ETFs have you bought or sold recently and what stocks are you looking to buy or sell?

I like every month bought $SPY, $MO and $CVSandthis week I still bought part of $ASML stock. I'm not selling anything yet but next week I plan to sell off part of $MMM stock and otherwise hoard cash for any dips.

I have grown very fond of $CVS stock and am enjoying it, and since CVS stock is currently undervalued, I am building a larger position in the stock in my portfolio and adding to it each month.

How do you view this company and do you have...

Lately, I've been running into companies I didn't even know had publicly traded stocks like $WISH, $GPRO or $DUOL. $WISH and $GPRO have a very similar chart, the stock shot up in the beginning, but then quickly fell again and hasn't risen since. But I quite like $DUOL as I see potential here and I think people will use this app even more and so their stock could go up. I...

Do you have shares of $PFE includ...
