What do you think about the recent news of a possible Intel acquisition?
After the news of a possible acquisition of Intel by an anonymous company, $INTCstock is up 9%. If that were to happen, I think it could only help Intel. But my opinion is still the same and I wouldn't buy $INTC stock.
In the end, the results of the big banks turned out very well - almost all items exceeded expectations. I have $BACstock in my portfolio and was recently intrigued by @m wise_investor' s article on the City, so I bought $C at the beginning of the year and am very happy so far.
As far as defensive stocks are concerned, it's not just $PEP and $KOthat are falling now , but also $NESM.DE. Nestlé shares have lost more than 20% over the past year, yet the company is not doing badly financially at all. I don't buy defensive stocks much, but $PEP or $NESM.DE are at interesting prices right now.
How is the arms industry represented in your portfolio?
I'm still watching $LMTstock and starting to seriously consider buying it. I think the company has a great business, the current price is quite low and the P/E is not exorbitant. In addition, Donald Trump has a fairly positive relationship with the sector, and his potential actions could help these companies grow.
Last year, $ENR.DE was one of the best performing stocks in Europe. This German company did not fare well in 2023, but last year the company recovered and the stock rose by 300%. I honestly don't like this sector at all, but this company is quite interesting. However, the stock is pretty overvalued right now.
Anyone have shares of $ENR.DE in their portfolio or on a watchlist?
Investors, which stock do you consider the riskiest in your portfolio?
For me, it's definitely $BABA and $CAVA. For Alibaba, I see the main risk in China itself and the way the state there operates, and for CAVA I see a lot of potential but also a lot of question marks that can change a lot of things negatively.
On Wednesday, the season of results will slowly start and there may be some interesting opportunities. I'll definitely be interested in the results of $BAC, $TSM and $UNH.
Yesterday's Delta Air Lines results were very positive, with shares up 9%. Revenues and earnings beat expectations and strong earnings are expected for 2025 (more in Flash News). I don't own stocks from this sector, but clearly this sector is starting to recover and companies are starting to do well.
Do you have $DAL or any other airlinestocks in your portfolio ?
Investors, which stock do you consider the riskiest in your portfolio?
For me, it's definitely $BABA and $CAVA. With Alibaba, I see the main risk in China itself and the way the state there operates, and with CAVA I see a lot of potential but also a lot of question marks that can fundamentally change a lot of things.
Geo Group and CoreCivic are the best known firms in this sector. Their stocks have risen several dozen percent in the last year alone. This growth has been greatly boosted by the election of Trump, and the stock is likely to continue its solid growth. I considered buying $GEObefore the election , but unfortunately I didn't end up...

Foxconn reported record sales earlier this week, leading shares in the semiconductor sector higher. Shares of $MU, $NVDA, $ASML and $KLAC, for example, rose significantly . I think it's great news and I'm happy for $ASML stock as it's up 10% this week.
Do you have any of these stocks in your portfolio?
Shares of $NKE are down about 30% over the past year and the company is not doing well, but the opposite is true for Adidas. In fact, $ADS.DE shares are up more than 30% over the past year. I personally don't like this sector at all and I don't have Nike or Adidas in my portfolio.
Shares of $O and $VICI did not grow much last year, but $NVR did very well. I recently came across NVR REITs and I have to say I've been quite impressed with their performance. The company has been growing steadily and the stock is not as expensive as it used to be. I still want to do a more detailed analysis, but so far I find this stock quite attractive.
United Airlines was the fourth best performing stock in the SP500in 2024 . The stock is up over 130% in the last year, which is quite a bump and honestly surprised me. I don't have airline stocks in my portfolio and don't want them, but $UAL is growing nicely.
Shares of $RIVN are up about 20% today as the company beat analysts' expectations for deliveries. I've had $RIVN stock on my watchlist for a long time , but I still haven't bought. I don't want to take a big position, but if the stock gets back to that $13 level again, I'd buy a little something.
Even if that happens, I still think it's an uninteresting and risky investment. Intel simply won't catch up with its competition anymore.
