Films about investing and finance

My favorite movies about investing are, of course, The Wolf of Wall Street and Bet on Uncertainty. After that, I also really like the movie The Swap and Margin Call. I recently watched the miniseries Eat The Rich : The GameStop Saga, which is a wonderful look at the GameStop case and what was going on, and for example how the broker Robinhood...

Investors, what stocks did you buy or sell this month?

I've been buying $MO stock this month and this week on Monday I was overbought $CVS stock as it dropped a few % again and got below the $70 level and then on Monday I was overbought $BAC and $PFE stock as they are also at a great price. As far as selling goes, I have sold off all shares of $MMM at a profit during this month.

3M has faced several lawsuits and lawsuits recently as some 300,000 soldiers have sued the company over earplugs that were not supposed to work and allegedly damaged soldiers' hearing. However, the company is also facing many other problems. Another problem is that the company will be paying back a fine of USD 12.5 billion over 13 years for long-term water pollution. In...

Technology stocks are up tens of % this year, some by more than 100%. For example, $META stock is up 140% for the year and $NVDA stock is up 180%.

bad and good debt

Bad debt

We know bad debt when someone takes out a loan that doesn't make or save any money. For example, a loan for a holiday, a mobile phone, or someone borrows money to buy their family presents for Christmas. I see this bad debt as a problem, and I think a lot of people unfortunately take advantage of this bad debt.

Good debt

Good debt can be identified by...

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.
