I’m getting uneasy about Pinterest

The stock’s been slipping lately, and analysts keep warning about weak ad spending, especially in the US. That’s the core of their revenue, and it’s slowing. The company keeps talking about AI-powered tools and better ad performance, but it still... — read more 

A Much-Needed Win

Computing pioneer Intel began 2025 with two simple goals: find a leader and find some cash. In March, it found its leader when it hired new CEO Lip-Bu Tan. And during the third quarter of 2025, Tan found the... — read more 

Mixed messages

Some are selling, some are buying, and I'm stuck here unsure about what to do. The only thing that comforts me right now is knowing that defense spending basically runs this country, so it should be just a matter of time before things pick up in a... — read more 

AMD is still standing strong

From what I can see, plenty of people are still interested in AMD, especially with AI and data center demand showing no signs of slowing. People who are talking about a bubble have no idea what they're talking about but it's their loss, not mine. I... — read more 

AGNC shares

Just read that some big fund picked up quite a few of AGNC shares. It makes me think they see something good in that dividend yield right now. These mortgage REITs can swing with rates, but if inflation cools off a bit, that payout could look even... — read more 

Might be time to ditch the stock

It’s getting hard to stay confident. The stock’s barely moving, same-store sales are sliding, and now there’s talk of hundreds of store closures and layoffs. On top of that, baristas might strike soon - just what we need during a “turnaround.” Costs... — read more 

China tariffs are worrying

Compounded with regulatory issues. Applied Materials has a strong potential, and the market opportunity is big. But too many conditions would have to align, including the AI bo-m and strong demand, for the stock to move up and investment to pay off... — read more 

Conflicting signals everywhere

I’ve been holding on to Walmart stock because “it’s safe” and “recommended buy” keeps popping up, but I’m scratching my head. They keep warning that tariffs are eating into margins and that price hikes are coming. If the costs of imports climb and... — read more 

Anyone can see everything’s out of whack

So we’re all just waiting in the dark while this thing drags on? I keep reading that the stock is trading at crazy high multiples, and analysts are warning that the valuation is totally out of sync with what the business is actually doing. If those... — read more 

Not sure about this one

LUV used to be one of those dependable travel stocks, but now it just kind of drifts. I can't figure out if the route changes and plane updates they recently announced will actually turn things around or if this is just another round of promises, but... — read more 

Nice outlook

Intevac's advancements in semiconductor equipment are truly impressive. If they continue to innovate, they could become a significant player in the tech industry. I already added some to my portfolio and I think I'll continue to do so as long as the... — read more 

Good things ahead

CSX's earnings beat expectations, but the real story is the potential M&A activity. With the new CEO focusing on strategic growth, this could be a game-changer for the company. This is the one I'll be following very closely, because I think it could... — read more 

What should I do with my shares?

I can kind of see the problems as a customer every time I walk into a store - fewer customers, emptier shelves, slower service. So, it’s not surprising to read about weak traffic, sluggish sales, and shrinking margins. The rumored layoffs worry me... — read more 

Worried about impact of tariffs

I’m really worried about what these new tariffs might mean for PepsiCo. Supply chain costs are already climbing, and demand isn’t exactly booming. If tariffs keep piling up or uncertainty drags on, it could really hurt margins and growth. I’m just a... — read more

Garmin fails to disappoint. I bought it and hold it with confidence as the price is doing well now.

It's worth it

It's worth following QRVO's developments and see how things play out this month.

Out of luck

QTRX hasn't been that lucky this year. I wonder if things will improve soon because obviously there needs to be some changes here and fast.

Lithia Motors

Lithia Motors rarely disappoints so I'm thinking of holding it. My buddies don't share my views on Lithia but I have a good feeling about this.

So about LCII

I know some people find it overpriced but I disagree, especially if you compare it to other stocks in the industry. But that's just my opinion.

SMCI

Supermicro announcing a new data center construction push feels like they are trying to stop being the vendor everyone only calls when something breaks and start acting like the whole solution instead. If they pull off turning hardware plus build... — read more 

One reason to buy ON now

Yet upon closer inspection, it becomes clear that the current challenges are likely temporary, and if investors are willing to be long-term minded, then the stock is one of the most compelling investments to consider... — read more 

AI upgrade

Roku just rolled out a big AI upgrade that lets the voice assistant answer real questions about shows and characters, which sounds like a neat way to keep people using the Roku interface. I think Roku has been doing everything right lately and I've... — read more 

JRSH?

Why is this month so suddenly bad for JRSH? Did I miss something? I don't think so.

Soaring

MTB is soaring right now. I'm glad I'm holding it.

ESNT

It's doing really well these days. I like the results a lot. Great stock for the price.

Sounds good

Zscaler getting called out as an IBD stock of the day and near a breakout sounds good to me. I've been looking for something in this price range and this might fit the bill perfectly. Maybe I'm jumping the g-n with it, but sometimes risk is necessary... — read more 

Down again

Novavax dropped again and that makes me uneasy because biotech stocks feel like a roller coaster that I can never predict. I remember their vaccine partnerships, but headlines about bigger market moves make me worry about short-term liquidity and... — read more 

Anyone following what’s actually happening with the DOJ and other regulators digging into UnitedHealth?

There’ve been a bunch of headlines about possible issues with Medicare Advantage billing and data sharing between UnitedHealthcare and Optum, but it’s hard to tell how serious this really is. Is this just a routine review, or something bigger that... — read more 

Seagate or Western Digital?

Which is a better stock to buy? It’s really hard to decide. I want to invest in one of these two companies and I can't seem to decide. Seagate is more then twice as expensive than WD. Other than that both companies provided good results and have... — read more 

I’m furious about tariffs bullsh-t

I’m honestly furious about these new 100% tariffs. I’m just a small Amazon shareholder, not some hedge fund that can shrug off volatility. This political posturing is directly eating into my savings. Amazon relies heavily on Chinese imports - higher... — read more 

What to do with the stock?

AMAT stock slipped about 3% last week, which isn’t great, but it did hold up better than many chip and tech peers. Still, that’s hardly reassuring. Their cautious Q4 outlook and revenue guidance below analyst expectations don’t inspire much... — read more 

Too much AI hype, too many execution risks

The sharp drop last week was a real wake-up call. AMD’s recent surge was clearly driven by the AI hype and the OpenAI deal, but now I’m starting to wonder how much of that is real growth versus inflated expectations. A single partnership won’t... — read more 

Selling right now

I just checked the performance and the price and I believe the best time to sell is now. Right now, in fact. I don't think I'm gonna make a mistake here.

HLIT

It's AIFU now

Improvement

Evidently FDS is doing something right behind the scenes because there is massive improvement here. Very much appreciated.

Adding them to my portfolio

StoneX's broad range of services could be a major growth driver, and I've been looking for something new with great potential to add to my portfolio. I don't plan to buy too much right now, but enough to make a difference if it goes the way I predict... — read more 

600%

Galecto's massive jump is really, really hard to ignore. However, while the trial results are more than promising, the stock's volatility still makes me hesitant. Anyone else holding or planning to buy?

This could be interestning

SEI Investments made a VC investment in Graphene to beef up its wealth tech platform in Europe, which can only mean they’re trying to lean harder into tech for advisors and family offices. It could be a smart way to capture recurring revenue, but... — read more 

Micron's 1-year prospects

It might seem like Micron is the underdog in both markets, but it produces denser and more power-efficient DRAM and NAND chips than its larger competitors. Its focus on performance gives it an edge in the high-performance AI, high-performance... — read more 

Not my immediate choice right now

Snap’s been in the news with fresh analyst/market attention and trading flow headlines over the last day or two, and that’s kept the stock feeling unstable. If you use Snap often, the product updates are interesting, but as an investor I’d only hold... — read more
