I’m getting uneasy about Palantir’s insane momentum. Sure, the AI bo-m has been great for the stock, but what if this really is a bubble, like some analysts keep warning? If the hype fades or spending cools, Palantir could take a serious hit. Its... — read more
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
How can anyone still take Musk seriously at this point?
Every quarter it’s the same circus - wild promises about robotaxis, humanoid robots, and trillion-dollar dreams, while profits keep shrinking and margins erode. Revenue missed the mark, earnings disappointed, and the stock’s sinking again. Tariffs... — read more
I’m finally feeling a bit hopeful about Qualcomm again
The stock’s been climbing this week, and for good reason. Their move into the AI data center market looks really promising - new accelerator chips, real early customers, and solid buzz from investors. It’s about time Qualcomm started breaking out of... — read more
Layoffs didn’t save the stock.
1,800 people gone, and it’s still tanking.
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
Just came across Osi Geospatial and was curious
Since there’s no big recent news about the company I’m wondering if now could be an entry point under the radar. This is a small company and this is clearly speculative, and while that sometimes means more risk, it also means more upside. At the same... — 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
What is the competitive environment like, and how is NetApp positioned relative to peers?
What’s everyone’s take on NetApp right now? They’re pushing hard on all-flash, cloud deals with AWS/Azure/GCP, and hyping AI storage wins, plus Keystone seems to be picking up. But the storage market is packed with Dell, Pure, HPE, IBM, and... — read more
Can Fossil realistically turn around its revenue and profitability?
Fossil’s been on a long decline with revenue dropping and profits under pressure. They’ve announced layoffs, store closures, and a turnaround plan that gave the stock a short-term boost. The question is, can those moves really change the trend or is... — read more
Are interest rates ki-ling Schwab’s profits?
How much are interest rates gonna mess with Schwab’s profits? If rates drop or clients keep moving cash into higher-yield stuff, does Schwab still make decent money, or does their margin take a big hit?
CommScope’s debt: under control now or still a big problem for the company?
CommScope has been weighed down by debt for years, but with the big sale of their CCS unit to Amphenol they’ve got some cash coming in. The question is, does this really fix their balance sheet or just buy them time? Are they generating enough cash... — read more
Do you guys think Imperial Oil’s stock price actually makes sense right now?
...or is it already priced for all the good news with too much risk still on the table?
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
I’ll just leave this here
What will happen when the AI bubble bursts? https://www.geekwire.com/2025/ai-bubble-enshittification/
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
United Community Banks is a hidden gem in regional banking
They're committed to community, they provide personalized service, and the results are there. From what I can see, the bank is experiencing increased loan demand and expanding customer base, something not many banks of similar size can boast about... — 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
J.B. Hunt is a solid pick in the logistics sector
I've been looking into this a bit, and it's clear that the company's focus on technology and infrastructure is driving growth and improving service delivery. They've recorded both improved efficiency and customer satisfaction, which is pretty good in... — 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
Is CVS stock undervalued or just stuck?
CVS keeps talking up healthcare services, but insurance costs + PBM risk are weighing it down. Analyst targets don’t show much upside. Cheap buy or dead money?
How reliable is Qualcomm’s growth outlook and will new business segments gain scale?
Thought please.
How competitive is Veradigm in healthcare tech?
MDRX is up against Epic, Cerner, and a ton of startups. Do they actually have an edge, or are they just holding on? Curious if people think they’re still in the game or getting left behind.
Can Sabre return to consistent revenue and bookings growth?
SABR hasn’t had the best run lately. Q2 revenue dropped over 10% YoY, bookings came in light, and they’re still burning cash with a big pile of debt hanging over them. At the same time, travel demand is back and Sabre keeps talking up their... — read more
Why is APA much cheaper than other oil companies?
I can’t seem to find any oil company that has such a low value. Why is this the case? Is APA really all that bad?
Holding UPS shares is becoming a risky play
This is most definitely a risky, speculative play right now. The recent bump in share price is nice, but it doesn’t change the fact that UPS is facing real headwinds, including tariffs, weaker global demand, rising costs, and growing uncertainty... — 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
Should I buy some more stock, or are new developments a false hope?
I've been holding Moderna shares through this brutal year - down 35.7% and trading at half last October's high of $57. We're hovering around $26, dangerously close to the $23 low. Then I saw analysts recommending buy, and last week's cancer... — read more
Is Spirit AeroSystems acquisition really a good move?
Boeing stock dipped again last week, and I’m not sure what to make of all this. I saw they got the green light for that $4.7B Spirit AeroSystems deal, but is buying more problems really smart right now? Boeing still has supply chain issues, quality... — 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
Good stuff
WNC is amazing. It's not overpriced. Things are finally going smoothly. No more trouble coming from WNC.
Garmin musings
Garmin fails to disappoint. I bought it and hold it with confidence as the price is doing well now.
Is it always like this?
Is it always a rollercoaster? This is definitely a wild stock and I'm thinking of selling it now. I don't need this stress.
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.
I wouldn't invest right now
LZB is not looking desirable right now. I wouldn't invest in it right now, or even for the foreseeable future.
Holding LADR
The numbers don't lie. LADR is hot right now and for a reason too.
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.
I think PLIN is delisted
That's how it looks like to me at least.
Buying MYFW
I just bought MYFW. If you look at the stats you can see that this was the best choice. I'm really happy with it.
Soaring
MTB is soaring right now. I'm glad I'm holding it.
I don't think that MHLD is relevant
It is not relevant anymore.
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
Is the current valuation a value trap or a compelling entry point?
Halliburton’s stock has been bouncing around lately, and I can’t tell if it’s setting up for a nice rebound or just fooling us with a classic value trap. On paper, the P/E looks decent and the dividend isn’t bad, but earnings forecasts keep getting... — 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
What are ADP’s projected revenue and earnings growth rates over the next 1–3 years?
Just an honest question from a guy thinking twice about buying such an expensive stock.
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
QCOM takes a hit because of the Chinese antitrust probe
Qualcomm stock took a 7.3% hit last week after Chinese regulators opened an antitrust probe into its planned acquisition of Autotalks. As a small shareholder, it’s frustrating to see how one regulatory move abroad can rattle the stock this much. I’m... — read more
The old safety net of “big oil = stable dividends” may not hold
Oil has been trading around $65–$66 per barrel lately, after OPEC+ announced only a modest production increase for November. That kept prices from collapsing further, but it didn’t reverse the downtrend. The reality is that weak demand, oversupply... — 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 looking perfect these days. I never thought I would say this about HLIT but I'm glad I'm holding it.
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?
Perfect
FAST is doing amazing this past month. It has been a perfect stock for me.
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
