Shares of $RACE+0.1% have gained more than 30% this year, which is very solid, and the company's stock has been rising for a long time. However, the stock currently strikes me as expensive.
Would it make sense for you to have $RACE+0.1% stock in your portfolio and if so, at what price would you overbuy?
The S&P 493 index, the S&P 500 index excluding the 7 largest technology stocks, is up just 4% this year. $SPY-0.3%
While the S&P 7, also known as the 7 largest companies in the S&P 500, rose 52%.
Taken together, the S&P 500 index as a whole is up 13% this year.
The seven largest stocks in the S&P 500 now account for a whopping 34% of the value of the entire index.
Without these 7 stocks, the S&P 500 Index is essentially FAT and almost unchanged this year.

The market for initial public offerings has been surprisingly normal over the past two weeks, at least on the surface.
British chipmaker Arm Holdings, food delivery company Instacart and Klaviyo represented a chance to revive an IPO market that has long been in tatters. But the results have not been convincing.
Arm, Instacart and Klaviyo priced their offerings at or above recent expectations, and their shares rose on the first day of trading. However, they have since retreated… read more

Maybe not, but what if: In the event of a recession, a tens of percent gap opens up for US stocks
Is the US heading into a recession? Economists disagree, of course, but in recent weeks they have tended to look for a smooth economic landing. But the dynamics of some economic indicators and the long-term and pronounced inversion of the US government bond yield curve warn against too much optimism. The stock market in America has held up reasonably well this year despite the… read more
Dividend stocks are a multi-purpose instrument of the markets. They offer investors a dual route to profitable returns, including some defence against challenging market conditions along with a stable source of passive income. This is an attractive combination.
The best dividend stocks will provide inflation-beating income based solely on the dividend and backed by a long-term history of reliable payouts. For investors, it's a win-win situation: when stocks go up, you make… read more
Shares of $DIS-0.3% are down over 30% in the last five years, which I and I believe other investors don't like. But somehow I still believe that the stock will recover and start rising again. I may buy a little more this week and then wait to see how the share price develops.
What is your opinion on this company and do you have $DIS-0.3% stock in your portfolio?
So it's not just $MSFT-0.5% that has resorted to a big investment in AI this year in the form of an investment in OpenAI. $AMZN-1.2% has announced that it will invest up to $4 billion in artificial intelligence startup Anthropic.
As part of the deal, Anthropic will use Amazon's custom chips in its AI software. Amazon then agreed to use its startup partner's technology in its products across its entire business.
How do you view the resulting collaboration?
