I was surprised by a piece of news on social media today. The company $META introduced a monthly payment (for us 299 CZK/month) for their social networks without ads or you can still use it for free, but you have to agree to customize the ads, so they take quite a bit of information from you. Interesting move to "get around" EU regulations while continuing to benefit from ads... Read more
I don't really like the idea either, and as others have written here, most social networks are time guzzlers and not good for anything. However, it's a clever move to get around it.
Investors, which companies' results will you be watching next week?
I'm very interested in the results of $MMM, $KO, $MSFT, $GOOGL$WM, $META or maybe $AMZN. Next week will be very interesting as far as company results are concerned and I'm very interested and looking forward to the results of several companies.
This week is going to be big, there is a lot of it, but most of all I am waiting for info around $ENPH where it has already fallen quite a lot and where I am quite invested, so I wonder what the next drop will be, which I rather expect, but hopefully not so big.
Big tech companies are "threatened" by the European Union + Apple is now in trouble in China.
Amazon $AMZN, Alphabet $GOOG, Apple $AAPL, Microsoft $MSFT, Meta $META and ByteDance (is a Chinese internet technology company) now have six months to comply with stricter market rules.
I don't really get it and it annoys me terribly ( to put it politely). As soon as a country, or in this case the EU, needs money it goes after companies that are doing well. It pisses me off that when a country or the EU needs money and they have a huge debt they go after these companies. Otherwise, I'm not worried about Apple. Apple will and probably already is building factories in India and will target India, so I don't see a problem there.
Guys, what about $META? On Bulios it comes out about 1% overvalued, so we should be around a fair price, but I personally still find it quite overvalued. How do you see it? Is it a stock to buy at a fair price?
The SP500 index is up over 14% for the year, which is very respectable. The $SPY is up this year mainly due to technology stocks, which are up tens of % this year and some are even up over 100%, such as $NVDA or $META. The SP500 is rising this year mainly thanks to $AAPL, $MSFT, $NVDA, $META, $AMZN and $GOOGL. However, the question is whether these technology stocks will... Read more
Guys, what was the worst investment you've made in your investing career? I mean, the biggest realized or paper loss. I'll go out on a limb and say that mine was an investment in $META which I sold at about -50% (but luckily I got out fairly early at the time and transferred the money to a company that made even more) :D So, what's gone wrong on your investment journey? :)
Since I started investing recently, luckily nothing like this has happened to me yet :). I'm trying to invest really long term and don't want to sell too much. However, I'm sure those losses and bad investments are still to come.
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%. I'm increasingly regretting not buying tech stocks sooner and buying more of them. However, I still bought some tech stocks. I was buying $AAPL stock at $133 and then I was still buying $GOOGL stock at $98.
So today we go to Meta Platforms $META with the results!
In an exciting week of events after yesterday's close, another big company gave us a glimpse into its performance and the results exceeded expectations. Congratulations to those who are holding or possibly put a call option yesterday. 😊
Great, thanks for the recap. The results are really great. I would like to include $META stock in my portfolio, but the price is really high at the moment.
I keep reading somewhere lately that a big correction is coming. How do you see it? I think that it will last for a while, at least for $META, but some correction will probably come, I just don't think it will be very big.
AI! The most talked about topic in the investment world lately. We had a crazy tech rally during covid. When the pandemic ended, inflation and interest rates rose and the tech. mega rally was extinguished.
Now we have a new rally! ChatGPT has left investors feeling exuberant. And a new rally is in full swing as all sorts of future AI opportunities are priced in. That's why I've... Read more
how do you feel about $META? It's been climbing back up quite a bit since the last drop at the end of 2022, which is great for owners of this stock. But some of Zuckerberg's plans seem very controversial to me, on the other hand, that's why his company was/is still a success and he owns instagram, whatsup..... What's your take on this?
I don't really like the idea either, and as others have written here, most social networks are time guzzlers and not good for anything. However, it's a clever move to get around it.
