Apple's results may have exceeded expectations, but I don't feel good about it. Tariffs are gradually starting to be reflected in the results and growth is slowing. I still hold $AAPLstock in my portfolio, but I sold some of it last week and moved the money into other stocks.
Does Apple still look like an interesting investment to you?
I've been looking at different brokerage firms and their stocks recently, and I've been surprised at how strongly they've been rising. For example, $IBKR or $XTB.WAhas been a very solid performer . $HOOD is also interesting . I'm adding $XTB.WA to my watchlist right now and would happily buy at a lower price.
The results have not been very good and frankly I don't see any positive factors that would indicate that the company will do well and grow. I see$SBUX as a value stock, but an uninteresting one that I will definitely not be investing in.
I haven't had many interesting companies on my watchlist in the last couple of months, but recently ON Semiconductor caught my eye. It makes chips for automakers like Tesla, GM, Hyundai, Ford and VW. While it's not in an ideal situation right now and its results aren't great, it has quite a bit of potential and the stock is cheap right now.
Have you ever been affected by the FOMO effect? If so, in which investment or stock?
I got influenced by it in the beginning mainly in $NKE and $CVS. I did what everyone else was doing and was afraid of being left behind - which was a mistake. But I've taken a different approach over the last year, and I'm trying to be guided mostly by facts, not sentiment.
What do you think of Intel's results? Does anyone else have $INTCstock in their portfolio?
I think the results were not too bad, but the company is still not doing well (detailed info is in flash news). I never had$INTC stock in my portfolio and I would definitely not invest in this company now.
Do you have tobacco company stocks in your portfolio?
These dividend stocks are doing quite well this year, as $MO, $BTI and $PM are up more than 10% since the beginning of the year. Last year I had $MO in my portfolio and was very happy, but this year I sold the dividend stocks and bought growth stocks.
The results missed expectations and almost all items posted a loss. Still, $TSLAstock is up 5% in the after market, ostensibly due to Musk announcing that he'll be pulling out of DOGE next month to focus more on Tesla. I've already bought the stock this year and have pretty mixed feelings about these results.
Shares of BlackRock, the world's largest investment asset manager, have already fallen more than 16% since the start of the year, which is not very common for such a firm. Overall, I find financial sector stocks cheap right now and see this as an interesting opportunity.
Are you buying shares of $BLK? Do you have any stocks from this sector on your watchlist right now?
The growth of $HTZstock continues unabated. The stock is up 136% in the last month alone, which is pretty solid for a car rental company. The news of Pershing Square's large stake in Hertz is behind the growth. I won't be investing in it anymore, but other car rental companies may be interesting.
It's starting to get pretty exciting and this week is going to be very interesting in terms of results. For me, the most important results will definitely be $TSLA, $GOOG and $INTC. If the stock continues to fall, I'll be overbought.
Which companies' results will you be interested in? And what stocks are you planning to buy?
Yesterday, Netflix was still reporting results. Overall, the company did very well and the results exceeded expectations. I would have happily bought$NFLXstock if it had fallen to a lower price, but even in these uncertain times, it's not selling off much. The stock is already up 9% since the beginning of the year.
Do you have $NFLX in your portfolio? At what price would you... Read more
I'm very interested in $DIS right now. The stock has dropped significantly this year, but the company is still doing quite well and I'm thinking of buying in.
Shares of $HTZ rose 50% yesterday on news that the investment company led by Bill Ackman has acquired a significant stake in Hertz. I won't be investing in $HTZ, but it could be an interesting opportunity in the short term. I recommend checking out a recent post by @mudry_investor where he nicely explained why this company could be interesting and could grow.
Shares of $ASML are down 6% today after earnings. I think the results were good and the company should have solid growth over the long term. I already have a large position, so I won't be overbought, but the stock looks cheap to me right now.
What do you think of the results? Will you be overbought after the drop?
I think it's expensive right now and I'm definitely not going to shop around. I think $GOOG is better for me now.
