| $FB officially worth less than $NVDA Posted: 08 Feb 2022 06:31 PM PST I know this sub is primarily focused on fundamentals and typically conservative, but there are some big bulls out there. Can someone explain to me how $NVDA is not overvalued out the ass as every article I read see screams to buy $NVDA as it is a discount right now.
When I look at these companies, I do not understand how Nvidia could be priced where it is now. The two big areas of growth people seem to have for Nvidia is the self driving space and the metaverse. Self driving is years away from being viable and there are many players. Isn't metaverse the exact thing that has demolished $FB's market cap? How can you be bullish on one and bearish on the other for the exact same thing? Earnings are next week and everything seems to scream this is going under. At the same time I am remembering that markets can remain irrational for longer than I can remain solvent. I'm interested in hearing why this stock demands such a premium.

| Posted: 09 Feb 2022 12:47 AM PST I'm glad I got out of it years ago. It's now at $35.98. It opened at $41.65 on 11/8/2013!!!! It's literally down 13%+ from it's open almost 9 years ago. Crazy! It had so much potential. What a fail [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Why aren't tech stocks crashing while the 10-year is reaching new highs? Posted: 08 Feb 2022 05:17 PM PST 10 year spiked to over 1.96% today, highest since the Pandemic but all big tech is green, multiple zero earnings stocks are also green, while value stocks are down or flat. Shouldn't the huge spike have caused another tech selloff? Or is it just a delayed reaction? [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| How Apple's hit on Facebook has been a decade in the making Posted: 08 Feb 2022 10:45 PM PST I have been seeing a lot of news about privacy in general and that got me thinking why now, what triggered it. Reading back I found an interesting pattern and when I tried connecting the dots it went back to 2010 (maybe even earlier). So here it goes. Prologue: If I were to simplify, there are 2 types of advertising: Display Ads & Search Ads. These are mutually exclusive. This story captures Apple's journey from Display to Search Ads in the quest for more money. 2010: Steve jobs introduced iAds which was Apple's advertiser business. In iAds, app developers could show ads to users to make some extra money. Among other things in the launch announcement he said "Developers [of free apps] need to find a way to start making their money. A lot of developers turn to advertising – and we think these current advertisements really suck." I will get to why this line is important later. Just remember that this form of advertising is called Display Advertising. 2011-2013: Apple was late to the advertising game but sensing the revenue opportunity it wanted to be a market leader. In the next 3 years it tried many things to improve its competitiveness . From simple things like lowering the minimum budget requirements so smaller players can play to more complex things like enriching the ad landscape. 2014: Apple launches the cross device retargeting product , one of the most precise form of ads. For those of you unfamiliar with this, remember when you have seen an advertisement of a hotel or a flight follow you everywhere, even on different devices? This is what enables it. 2015: Apple had hoped to gain 50% of advertising market share but in reality it had only been able to capture a meager 2.5% Enter Courage: 2016: Remember Apple meme about Courage about the iPod? Well they actually did it internally as well. Having failed to be a market leader, they decided to close down iAd and took an exact opposite direction. They had a plan. If they couldn't capture the market share, they would create a new market. It was a two fold strategy. First, they launched App store ads. These are the ads that you see when you go to app store and search for app, Apple would show you an advertisement of something similar. These are called Search Ads. 2017: Second, if I can't have it, no one can. Remember in the beginning of this post I talked about Display Advertising, Apple decided that if they cant be successful they will destroy this market for everyone. In the wake of destruction, hardest hit are the developer of free apps because that is their main source of income, the very people Jobs wanted to support in 2010. Talk about irony! They were quite smart about it as well. Instead of showing their cards at open they were purposefully slow about it. In 2017, Apple launched ITP 1.0 (Intelligent Tracking Prevention) . We can skip the details about the specifics but suffice to say this was the fall of the dominoes for Display advertising making it increasingly harder to make money from it. 2018-2019: Apple kept releasing newer version of ITP like 2.0 & 3.0 with the last version being the final nail in the coffin for Display Ads. This was a master-stroke from Apple. Not only did they kill the market they also ensured that their competitors waste time chasing increasing difficult hurdles of ITP only to come to realize that it was a dead-end. 2020: Advertisers need to spend money somewhere. With ITP launches, advertisers soon realized that there was no point in spending money on Display Ads so they shifted their budgets to Apple's search Ads. By 2020, estimate says Apple makes $5B a year from this which is expected to grow to $20B by 2024. 2021: Competitors still had a little bit of ammo left by using increasingly complex hacks behind the scenes. However Apple doubled down on its PR narrative about privacy saying that data from 3rd party is privacy unsafe and only 1st party data can be trusted. They called it App Tracking Transparency. An example of 1st party is Apple, so effectively they shield themselves from its fallout. In all of this it is never truly explained why 3rd party is inherently bad and 1st party is inherently bad. I guess if you repeat something a 1000 times it becomes the truth. Since Apple has total monopoly on iOS it uses very different privacy language when it comes to Apple vs others. Softer undertones when Apple wants to use your data. Notice the default button favors Apple Wait a minute, one might say that because I already agreed to buy an Apple device I am fine to let them use my data. But like they say, the devil's in the details. If you look at what data they use, they use your apple id, age, gender, zipcode & past purchases. But that's not all, this is from their website 'Consistent with Apple's policies on tracking, this may include information that individual developers have collected through their relationship with users based on their direct interactions with them' Which implies if there is a developer who wants to misuse your data, there are no protections to stop them. Now let's see how Apple treats advertisers who don't want to use Apple's Search Ad. So it took 10+ years but Apple has firmly captured the advertising narrative. They are setting the rules and everyone is following them. Facebook & Mark have been furious how Apple is having it's way and nobody bats an eye. They threw a lot of tantrums and rightfully so but Facebook having destroyed its own self image, nobody listened. And so out of desperation Facebook is building Metaverse where they can show whatever ads they want. Epilogue: I will end it with a riddle. I have an offer you cannot refuse. 'You pay me $15 billion dollars every year and in return I will use it to build your competitor from the money you just paid me.' Disclaimer:

| History ALWAYS Repeats Itself (Facebook) Posted: 08 Feb 2022 09:38 PM PST So this sub is shitting itself as usual after a company they love drops after a slightly sub-par earnings report and everyone claims they were some genius who predicted this. First, I would like to say that I was one of the only people who actually called out how unsafe FAANG was by making a post about it where I got flamed to shit. Now, I was looking at some articles from 2018 talking about Facebooks drop and it is genuinely IDENTICAL to what happened before, I deadass couldn't even tell the difference if it weren't for the date on the article. https://money.cnn.com/2018/07/26/technology/business/facebook-stock-drop/index.html As you can see, it is literally identical, bearish as fuck, large market cap wipeout, blah blah blah. Look at how Facebook has done since 2018, after a large short term drop they yielded phenomenal returns. Look at this, once again nearly identical, talking about slowing growth and all that. I'm not going to bother making an in-dept DD because that's already been done and everyone will just ignore it so I believe this is the best way to show how undervalued facebook is. The only reason that anyone is not buying this is because of short term emotional sentiment thinking that growth will slow or all this bullshit. I am long facebook, and I will get flamed in the comments, but just realize that history is repeating itself and this is most likely a huge opportunity.

| Posted: 09 Feb 2022 06:58 AM PST Why has the NASDAQ been climbing recently? Is it that fears of a Fed rate hike have already been priced in, and therefore the coast is clear to go hunting for tech bargains? Otherwise what's the reason?

| Report: Microsoft in talks to buy cybersecurity giantp Posted: 09 Feb 2022 09:56 AM PST Report: Microsoft in talks to buy cybersecurity giant Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT) is in talks to buy Mandiant (Nasdaq: MNDT), a Reston, Va.-based cybersecurity firm with a $4.4 billion market cap, per Bloomberg. Why it matters: Not only isn't Big Tech pumping the brakes on multi-billion dollar acquisitions in the Biden era, it's ramping up. This would be Microsoft's second major play of the year, following its agreement to buy Activision Blizzard, and comes amidst reports that Amazon is kicking Peloton's tires (after already signing papers on MGM). History: Mandiant was a VC-backed company bought in 2013 by FireEye, with founder and CEO Kevin Mandia taking over the combined operation. In 2020 it garnered attention for discovering the SolarWinds cyberattack, and last year it sold off FireEye's products (and name) to Symphony Technology Group for $1.2 billion. The bottom line: "Adding Mandiant would build up Microsoft's arsenal of products for protecting clients and responding to cybersecurity threats. The software giant bought two smaller cybersecurity companies last year, and said last month that it had amassed $15 billion in security software sales in 2021, up almost 45% from a year earlier." — [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 08 Feb 2022 05:32 PM PST Wanted to bring back a fantastic quote from Peter Lynch during these turbulent times in the market. I recently have seen a lot of finance "influencers", as you would call it, and YouTubers attempting to time the market. It seems reasonable to do so, especially when the market has been wiggly and volatile in the past couple of months. But this quote from Peter Lynch is a fantastic reminder of why timing the market is obsolete. Human emotions are imperfect and trying to time the market is no better than a fool's errand. The better thing to do is to simply invest in businesses that you understand at a good price, and continue to DCA through the downturns. Making rash decisions such as choosing to sell everything based upon some hunch that you have is probably going to get you nowhere. Hope this helps. -BDover [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Cathie Wood Dumps $142 Million of Twitter Stock Before Earnings Posted: 08 Feb 2022 04:30 AM PST Cathie Wood stepped up selling of social media platform Twitter Inc. shares days before its earnings. Wood's firm ARK Investment Management LLC sold nearly 4 million Twitter shares on Monday, the most in one day since at least May, according to trading data from ARK compiled by Bloomberg. The social-media company is set to announce its earnings on Thursday. Wood's flagship ARK Innovation ETF dumped 3.66 million shares of Twitter on Monday, while the ARK Next Generation Internet ETF sold more than 280,000 shares, according to the asset manager's daily trading updates. That amounted to about $142 million based on Monday's closing level. The selling comes amid a mixed set of results from its social-media peers. Facebook's parent Meta Platforms Inc. suffered biggest one-day crash in stock-market history last week as its user base stopped growing while Snap Inc. jumped most ever after giving a quarterly sales forecast that topped Wall Street's projections. ARK has been selling Twitter shares almost every week since late December and its sales have picked up pace this month. Apart from Monday, ARK sold more than 2 million shares of Twitter on Feb. 3 and more than 700,000 shares on Feb. 2. The firm's daily trading updates show only active decisions by the management team and do not include creation or redemption activity caused by investor flows. Wood's oft-repeated mantra is that ARK invests with at least a five-year time horizon, and that volatility in their equity picks is expected. ARK's flagship fund has struggled in the past year after advancing nearly 150% in 2020, after investors started dumping pricey tech stocks and switching to cyclical firms expected to be bigger beneficiaries of an economic recovery.

| Posted: 09 Feb 2022 10:53 AM PST The Federal Reserve doesn't have to start hiking its policy interest rate with a big 50 basis point move, said Cleveland Fed President Loretta Mester on Wednesday. In a virtual address to the European Economics and Financial Center in London, Mester made clear that she supports rate hikes this year, beginning in at the next meeting on March 16, given the high inflation readings and strong labor market. "The task before us is to remove accommodation at the pace necessary to bring inflation under control," Mester said. Some on Wall Street have raised the possibility that the Fed would raise rates in March by 50 basis points, but Mester said she didn't see a "compelling case" for such a large move. "We've got to be a little careful. Because…even though you can well telegraph sort of what's coming, when you take the that first action, you know there's going to be a reaction," she said. Looking at the terminal rate — where the Fed's policy rate rise will be the last one in the rate hiking cycle — Mester said that with the economy doing so strongly, the Fed might have to raise rates above neutral – which is estimated at a 2.5% policy rate. Moving above 2.5% would mean that policy is aiming to restrict economic growth. This is not the "soft landing" scenario for the economy envisioned by Fed Chairman Jerome Powell at his press conference after the last Fed meeting in January.

| CVS beats earnings on top and bottom lines but suffers on guidance Posted: 09 Feb 2022 03:55 AM PST Looks like CVS might be the latest to fall victims to very high earnings expectations. After beating on both top and bottom lines for another consecutive quarter, the stock is trading down around 3% in premarket based on full year 2022 guidance that comes in at the lower end of analyst expectations. I am long CVS and remain very confident in the business. They are demonstrably growing their core businesses across the board and continue to exceed analyst expectations quarter after quarter. I believe this guidance is setting them up for a full year 2022 beat. [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 08 Feb 2022 01:53 PM PST https://finance.yahoo.com/news/corsair-gaming-reports-fourth-quarter-211500268.html FREMONT, Calif., Feb. 08, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Corsair Gaming, Inc.

Despite the ongoing logistical and supply chain challenges impacting markets, including the lack of availability of reasonably priced GPUs in the retail channel, we experienced healthy growth over 2020 in both our operating segments. Our gamer and creator peripherals segment grew 20% year-over-year, demonstrating the underlying secular growth trends in the overall gaming, esports, content creator and streaming hardware and services market. As we discussed during our recent Investor Day and with our record new product introductions of 141, including five new categories, we remain focused on expanding our presence in the market and are well positioned to continue to gain market share," stated Andy Paul, Chief Executive Officer of Corsair. "We are pleased with our strong financial performance to conclude 2021, with fourth quarter revenue and profitability metrics achieving the high end of our expectations. We remain focused on growth following the transformation of our debt levels and cost management efficiencies over the past few years. As we begin 2022, we expect to continue to experience elevated freight costs and ongoing supply chain issues, but we believe these circumstances will ease as the year progresses. As these macroeconomic conditions improve, we expect to increase our cash position, which should allow us to execute on M&A opportunities that fulfill our investment criteria or further reduce debt," said Michael G. Potter, Chief Financial Officer of Corsair. Financial Outlook For the full year 2022 we currently expect: Net revenue to be in the range of $1.9 billion to $2.1 billion. Adjusted operating income to be in the range of $195 million to $215 million. Adjusted EBITDA to be in the range of $205 million to $225 million.

| Looking at the investments made by Uber, today's EPS will be very negative. Posted: 09 Feb 2022 10:43 AM PST Aurora, Didi, Zomato all fell hard last quarter. Do people think the market will not care about this that much? For Amazon, people were reporting on the earnings/very impressed with it due to investment from Rivian. Wouldn't be surprised if Uber's EPS to be -1.00. Why is this stock and Lyft being pumped right now? Do people just not care about this? In their last report, they even talked about the loses from Didi and this current report will be much worse.

| I compile some of what I think are Warren Buffet's best lessons. Posted: 08 Feb 2022 06:11 PM PST I guess we all know who W. Buffet is but if you don't know I advice you to go to his wiki page. Apologies if I mess something up. Below are interesting nuggets of investment advice from the Buffet. I change a few words and commented a bit here and there. 0. Actually he recommends just buying an ETF and just DCA and don't look at the charts. Avoid mutual funds. "The trick is not to pick the right company, the trick is to essentially buy all the big companies through the S&P 500 and to do it consistently and to do it in a very, very low cost way. -- The first rule of an investment is don't lose [money]. And the second rule of an investment is don't forget the first rule Why? Because gaining back what you want is not a linear 1:1 it grows exponentially, -90% -- need 900% Gain -80% -- need 400% Gain -70% -- need 233% Gain -60% -- need 150% Gain -50% -- need 100% Gain -40% -- need 67% Gain -30% -- need 43% Gain -20% -- need 25% Gain -10% -- need 11% Gain
TLDR: being smart is not everything its diligence, patience, and sticking to your plan. [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Posted: 08 Feb 2022 09:44 PM PST https://www.ft.com/content/afbee42b-ba06-49c7-a053-7263e1a4c228 Europe has followed the US in setting out plans for a massive increase in semiconductor manufacturing, as Brussels attempts to secure supplies of the chips that drive the global economy. Unveiling a €43bn investment plan, the European Commission said it wanted to use state aid to promote research and production of higher technology chips used in computers, smartphones, vehicles and other products. The coronavirus pandemic had "painfully exposed the vulnerability" of Europe's supply chains, said commission president Ursula von der Leyen, with production lines for cars and other goods hit by shortages. The Chips Act aims to double the EU's share of the semiconductor market from 10 to 20 per cent by 2030, which would require quadrupling production. The EU is following plans by President Joe Biden's US administration for a $52bn package to subsidise semiconductor manufacturing. Other governments are also trying to improve semiconductor supply chains. Under the plan announced on Tuesday, the European Commission and national governments would spend €11bn to build three pilot facilities for any company to use. Member states and businesses were expected to invest a further €32bn by 2030. [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Consumer debt totals $15.6 trillion after a record-breaking increase in 2021 Posted: 08 Feb 2022 09:03 AM PST Consumers ended 2021 with record levels of debt, leading into a year in which interest rates are expected to rise substantially. Total debt at the end of the year came to $15.6 trillion, an increase of $333 billion in the fourth quarter and just over $1 trillion for the year, according to data released Tuesday from the Federal Reserve's New York district. The quarterly rise was the biggest since 2007, and the annual gain was the largest ever in records going back to 2003. The increases came ahead of a period in which the Fed is expected to start jacking up interest rates as it looks to tamp down inflation running at its fastest pace in nearly 40 years. Markets expect the central bank to start hiking rates in March and to enact at least five increases this year totaling 1.25 percentage points. Fed interest moves are directly tied to the prime rate that consumers pay for many forms of debt, including credit cards and adjustable-rate mortgages. A large chunk of the debt load increase came from mortgages, which saw balances rise by $890 billion for the year and $258 billion in the fourth quarter, to nearly $11 trillion. Mortgage originations for the year totaled more than $4.5 trillion, a new record. Credit card balances increased by $52 billion in the final three months of the year, a new quarterly record that brought total debt in that category to $860 billion. Owning to the rapid gain in prices, auto loan balances rose by $90 billion, or 6.6%, to $1.46 trillion. New auto prices rose 11.8% for the year while used vehicles soared by 37.3%, according to Labor Department data. One area that saw little increase was student loans, which edged higher by just $20 billion for the year and actually declined marginally in the fourth quarter. Forbearance programs, though mostly expired, are still keeping balances and delinquencies in check. New York Fed researchers saw the rising-rate environment could affect household cash flows as borrowers adjust. Those who locked in at low mortgage rates, for instances, are likely to be reluctant to go out and buy new homes with rates moving higher, while those who ran up credit card balances could be constrained as financing costs increase.

| What is everyone's strategy and rationale for separate portfolios? Posted: 09 Feb 2022 09:23 AM PST I think most people here have more than one portfolio bucket. Retirement, education, growth, play money etc. Would like to know what buckets do you have, what do you hold in them and why you sequestered your money in that way? Also looking for input/comments on my allocation. My buckets are as follows: Retirement fund: Cash account. 25% of my money. About 10 ETFs (QQQ, VOO, DIA, BND, ARKK, DRIV, XIT, XIU. Not in any order). Horizon is 20+ years. Education fund for dependents: Cash account. 12% of my money. 3 ETFs (QQQ, VOO, DIA). Horizon is 10 years. Just created this portfolio. Tax free account: Cash account.14% of my money. About 10 ETFs (QQQ, SPY, DIA, BND, ARKK, SOXX, WCLD, XRE, DRIV, XIT, XIU, XQQ). Quite similar to the retirement account. Horizon is 1-2 years Growth fund: Margin account. 52% of my money. High risk. Very concentrated (MSFT, APPL, WMT, LYFT, CRM, TSLA). Horizon is 5 years. I want to reduce my money in this account but I am deep in red. I am thinkinking if I should create a dividend portfolio as well? Or just add dividend stocks in my tax free portfolio. Comments and suggestions are welcome! [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Facebook, META - average American generates 60 USD per quarter, how? Posted: 09 Feb 2022 08:56 AM PST You know they ask if you could tell to kid about what's company doing. How in the world some American chatting with friends can generate so much revenue to FB? What dark magic are FB doing to monetize these people so well? How it's sustainable as it has penetrated US already? How much other companies generate per user on these richer areas? Some statista chart but running US revenue per US users result in ~60 USD. It's most surprising fact in a while. Never could imagine that average American eyes are worth 240 usd annually.

| Opinions wanted QYLD vs QQQX vs NUSI Posted: 09 Feb 2022 11:06 AM PST Hey folks, As a part of a larger portfolio I'm looking at adding one of these three funds, or a similar alternative. It will be providing my only straight nasdaq/qqq-esqe exposure, be weighted about 10% of my total portfolio, and it's goal is to bump my total portfolios dividend income %. I'm fully aware of the basics as to how these covered call funds work, and have been reading/researching/paper trading etc for since around May 2020. The fund is intended to be held long term (~10 years) with periodic rebalancing. I'd like to hear any thoughts opinions etc that place one of these funds above/below the others for some reason, any suggestions as to other funds that would adequately fill this slot (I am going to be into for same weight the s&p/rus/dow sister funds Ala DIAX/SPXX etc to comprise 30% portfolio weight total) as well as any particularly pointed factoids you may have, for example the nuveen funds have two distinct expense ratios (that I had to read fine print to find) .69%+.2% ... Anyway I will be making my own decisions and know this is not financial advice will dyor etc. Thanks in advance [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 09 Feb 2022 06:02 AM PST I am an executor of my late mother's will and we have a lot of stocks in various companies. The solicitor who is a joint executor has recommended a brokerage firm to deal with the sale of them. I am a complete novice with regards to stocks/shares, however am a fast learner. I was wondering how difficult it would be to just handle the sale of them myself and reduce cost? Is it worth the bother, or should I just allow a brokerage firm to them to deal with it? Last time I checked they were collectively worth approx £30k Edit: people have asked why I want to sell. Essentially we have also inherited a house. Selling the shares would raise enough money to buy out a minor beneficiary, so myself and sister can keep the house as a rental property/investment. Approx monthly income after paying management fees for renting would be £1000 I would initially receive all of it for 2 years. After which we would split it with my sister.

| Do you know any stock with interest in fusion reactors? Posted: 09 Feb 2022 10:59 AM PST For a long time I am fan of fusion reactors and I see very big potential in them plus I think they can be used for much more than making electricity. Lately I have seen quite a few achievements with these reactors. Whats more energy stocks tends to do better right now. I would be interested in investing in some company that owns/develops fusion reactor and works on this type of technology. Unfortunatelly I failed to find one so I am asking if there is any company that has potential to benefit in futur from this concept.

| Please, remember to manage risks Posted: 09 Feb 2022 06:54 AM PST The past 2 weeks have been a bounce back from the January 24-28 lows we saw in QQQ and SPY. Many high flying techstocks have put on 20%-50% returns in the past two weeks. This doesn't save the 50% reduction many of these stocks saw in January 2021, but don't forget that the market is only forward looking. It doesn't care what happened historically. Tech stocks:
Clean energy:
AdTech:
EV:
Remember to manage your risk, be humble about your gains, and make a strategy going forward. This exuberance is the same thing that happened in January 2021, May 2021, October 2021. Don't get caught up in "buying on the way up" then "bagholding on the way down". Manage your risk! Again, be humble about your gains and always remember to sell to lock in gains. During volatility, its important to sell some (even a little bit) to lock in some wins. Keep long conviction holds where you don't check the price every day. Never fall in love with a stock, no matter how well or how poorly its performing. Understand that fundamentals will matter in the end. And always manage risk. (Again, managing risk means understand what the true downside of every stock is, how much money you're keeping on the side for buying into dips, and creating an exit strategy for every stock no matter if its a long term hold or a short term flip). If you feel like you're getting wiped by this volatile market, maybe try more humility. Sell into green and buy into red. Change your strategy if you feel like you're constantly losing.
