Nvidia's $NVDA-7.4%growth metrics aren't impressing Wall Street as much as they used to. Can you imagine the reaction if the company had missed some of its earnings estimates?
I don't currently have anything like that in my portfolio. I'll probably include gold in my portfolio, but when I'm older, as it doesn't make much sense to me now, given the look of it.
I came across an interesting report today. Canon is planning to hit the high-end device market by launching its new nanoimprint technology as part of the technology rivalry between the US and China...
A few years back I had a little something there, but I sold it for a loss because it looked like a value trap. Canon didn't make much money on photo equipment, the lithographic equipment was a step behind ASML and could only compete with Nikon. Most of their income comes from printers and that may be a declining business over time (I see it mentioned in almost every HPQ analysis).
What I understand so far is that their machine is based on a completely different principle than the EUV from ASMl and the process is more time consuming, so the efficiency/costs are not fully ideal and especially it is not yet proven in series production. If it turns out that it really can do 4nm technology in sufficient quality and price, it may change the balance of power in ASML's monopoly position, but I think we are still far from that.
Anyway, I think that even if the lithography does take off, it won't be an advantage for them over ASML in terms of being able to supply China with the technology to make advanced semiconductors. They will get the same restrictions from the US as anyone else.
Intel said it plans to spin off its programmable chip unit and make an initial public offering within two to three years. I don't really know how to view this news, positive or negative? The $INTC-11.5% stock initially weakened today but is already going back into the black.
US economic growth was revised lower in the second quarter to a still solid pace, but momentum appears to have picked up at the start of the third quarter as consumer spending is supported by a tight labour market.
U.S. gross domestic product expanded at an annualized rate of 2.1 percent in the second quarter, the government said today in its second estimate of GDP for the three... Read more
Hi investors, how many trades do you make on average per year? And a question, has it historically paid off for you to be more active or more passive in finding new opportunities?
Or better said - Which method has been more effective for you?
Quite often I find that investors try too hard and look for a quantum of companies, yet only a handful of them would suffice if they were... Read more
Exactly, just a few quality stocks. I don't do that many trades a year. I make the bare minimum of trades. I mostly just buy and buy because I'm investing for the long term.
I bought $39 worth of Pfizer $PFE-5.3% stock and did a little research on their future intentions, where I clearly see growth potential + a regular and stable dividend. What about you?
Few people here write about luxury brands, I saw maybe LVMT and that was it. But what do you think about Hugo Boss ($BOSS) stock? A very stable company with a desirable product, plus they continue to raise targets for the coming years.
Thanks for the report. I hadn't thought about buying shares in this company, but the company looks interesting. However, I think I like $MC.PA-1.5% stock better.
Not long ago, everyone here was worried about REITs and the real estate market, but somehow that topic has died down. Anyway, I have and continue to hold $O-3.3% stock with peace of mind, which incidentally announced another increase in its monthly dividend to $0.2555 per share, for an annual amount of $3.066 per share. This is the 121st monthly dividend increase for the common... Read more
Has anyone checked the performance against SPY? Yield including dividends for 1y,3y,5y,10y (1.45%, 19.5%, 50%, 124%) vs. SPY including dividends (18.55%, 50.6%, 71.8%, 223%)
"Sell the energy companies, oil prices will go down."
I've been hearing this phrase since last year, when oil was described as unsustainable. In the meantime, my stocks are still nicely in the black and oil prices are rising sharply AGAIN today after Saudi Arabia pledged major production cuts in July while the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries and allies agreed to...

It's official! President Joe Biden on Saturday signed a bill that suspends the U.S.'s $31.4 trillion national debt ceiling, preventing the first-ever sovereign default just two days before it was threatened.
The House of Representatives and Senate passed the legislation during the week after Biden and House Speaker Kevin McCarthy reached an agreement after tense negotiations.
I agree with the others here. It is a paradox that markets are rising. After all, it can't go on like this indefinitely and sooner or later it will burst anyway.
Good morning, everyone. Today, I would like to share with you the stock(s) that I will include in my portfolio today. It will be Target $TGT1.5%, the second largest discount chain in the US after Walmart.
We've made incredible strides in technology over the last couple of decades, and overall the progress is phenomenal. I remember just a few years ago we were talking about AI as the future and now we're figuring out where to put the money to ride its wave. But what's next, over the horizon with AI? What will be the next top technology that will be a total gamechanger?
When I see it in the chart, it's clear to me. This is how it has to be. From another point of view, it's great what we've done as humanity, but where our civilization is going is sad...
Citigroup has cancelled the $7 billion sale of its Mexican consumer unit known as Banamex and plans to launch an IPO instead. The IPO is expected to be completed in 2025, the company said. Citi is considering a dual listing of the stock, possibly in Mexico City and New York.
I'm still holding and will continue to hold. It's just a small position, I don't have any mega profit there, so I'll wait😃
