🚗 Ford suspends outlook for 2025! Ford Motor Company $F2.0% beat Wall Street expectations for Q1 2025, but still suspended its financial outlook for the full year. The main reason is the expected impact of the new $2.5 billion tariffs that went into effect in early April. While the company plans to offset approximately $1 billion through operational measures and cost optimization,... Read more
Investors, how did you get into investing? What was the first step that led you to it?
I first got interested in investing when I was listening to a podcast about the S&P 500. I then started investing regularly using the DCA method in ETFs, got hooked, and later switched to individual stocks.
🎬 Disney brings the magic to life. Q2 2025 results surprised with strength across segments!
The Walt Disney Company $DIS reported very solid resultsin its second fiscal quarter 2025. Despite a turbulent media market and high costs in the sports segment, the company was able to accelerate growth across all major divisions.
The stock had me in the portfolio for a while but after some time I sold. I don't see that much potential in it anymore and the company has a lot of competition.
Rivian's results were quite good and exceeded expectations. The company is still not profitable, but it strikes me as a great company with a lot of potential. I probably wouldn't take a big position, but I'd probably buy a few shares.
Are you familiar with Rivian? Do you have shares of $RIVN1.9% in your portfolio?
Philip Morris - shares on the rise thanks to move beyond conventional cigarettes
Stock Growth: Philip Morris International $PM-0.2% has gained +86% over the past 12 months, largely due to a strategic shift toward alternative nicotine products.
Key growth drivers:
IQOS (heated tobacco) - growing rapidly in global markets.
Zyn (nicotine sachets) - becoming the market leader in oral... Read more
🥩 Tyson Foods: strong quarter despite market pressure! Tyson Foods $TSN reported fiscal Q2 2025 results and confirmed that even in an environment of high market uncertainty, solid numbers can be achieved. Although the macroeconomic environment (tariffs, costs, consumer behavior) remains turbulent, Tyson delivered its fourth consecutive quarter of growth across key metrics.
Recently I have been thinking about adding some Chinese stocks to my portfolio. So far I have only bought $BABA0.2% and have $BIDU0.8% and $BY6.F3.6% on my watchlist .
The SP500 has more or less erased the losses since the tariffs were introduced and again it's not very cheap anymore. I'm still buying individual stocks like $TTD-0.5% or $AMZN-0.5%, but I'm getting more cautious and accumulating cash.
I also lightly shop all the time, but I confess I still stay away from celery. I don't know, I just see it all as too much of a "comedy" where one says A, then B, then it's refuted, back to A, and the markets react to everything but actually in a time frame of six months I don't dare to guess if we're in growth or decline. Technology and AI are still holding the market because there is a hunger for chips, but those tariffs can really put a lot of pressure on consumers and who knows what then. 🤷♂️
The last few weeks I've just been adding $GOOG$AMZN$NVDA. I see, as with you Luky, one more time then $TTD was mentioned here, I'm looking at info and a digital marketing company, which is definitely a trend too, but isn't there a lot of competition in this? What makes the company interesting to you?
Otherwise cash I still hold probably quite a bit, around 20% but as I said I don't really believe Trump has stopped "swirling the waters".
As for the results, this week will probably be more interesting for me than the last one. A number of companies whose shares I hold in my portfolio will report results, and I expect bigger moves because they are growth stocks. I will be watching the results of $PLTR, $NVO, $AMD and $TTD.
Which companies' results will you be interested in?
🟢 Duolingo at an all-time high! Duolingo $DUOL, known in the digital language learning industry, demonstrated a strong combination of growth, profitability and user momentum in Q1. The stock responded with a sharp rise of more than 20 % to a record $487.
The stock is up more than 50% since the beginning of the year and it is clear that it is doing well again after a long time. I sold the stock at a loss last year. Of course, it's not pleasant to see them rise after I sold them, but I still don't like the fundamentals and I won't be buying the stock again.
📡 Qualcomm confirms strategic growth! Qualcomm $QCOM1.6% is an American technology company that specializes in the development of semiconductors, software and wireless technologies. It is a global leader in mobile chips and a key player in the development of 5G networks.
The company on Wednesday announced results for its second fiscal quarter 2025 (ended March 30).
Apple's results may have exceeded expectations, but I don't feel good about it. Tariffs are gradually starting to be reflected in the results and growth is slowing. I still hold $AAPLstock in my portfolio, but I sold some of it last week and moved the money into other stocks.
Does Apple still look like an interesting investment to you?

I am currently staying away from this sector and investing in technology stocks.

Those financial statements don't look good and I probably don't want to buy stock in a company that is losing money.

If I wanted to invest in a company like that, I'd rather choose $MO-0.4%. The performance is better and I like the business better too.

I'm not too impressed either, and those duties can probably cause them a lot of problems.

I'm still wondering what company in this industry to add to my portfolio, so I'm adding to the watchlist.
what's your strategy now?
The SP500 has more or less erased the losses since the tariffs were introduced and again it's not very cheap anymore. I'm still buying individual stocks like $TTD-0.5% or $AMZN-0.5%, but I'm getting more cautious and accumulating cash.

I'll be most interested in the results of $NVO now, as I already have a large position and hope the stock bounces off the bottom.

What do you think about the growth of $CVSstock ?
The stock is up more than 50% since the beginning of the year and it is clear that it is doing well again after a long time. I sold the stock at a loss last year. Of course, it's not pleasant to see them rise after I sold them, but I still don't like the fundamentals and I won't be buying the stock again.

I would not buy now and focus on other stocks. The interesting one right now might be $UNH or maybe $NVO.

I currently have only $AVGO and $AMD from this sector. I find those much more interesting and better stocks.

I think it's expensive right now and I'm definitely not going to shop around. I think $GOOG is better for me now.
