Meta is expensive even for free... when they show how their Threads are really doing, maybe they'll finally go to hell....
The SP500 index is up over 14% for the year, which is very respectable. The $SPY is up this year mainly due to technology stocks, which are up tens of % this year and some are even up over 100%, such as $NVDA or $META. The SP500 is rising this year mainly thanks to $AAPL, $MSFT, $NVDA, $META, $AMZN and $GOOGL. However, the question is whether these technology stocks will...

Guys, what was the worst investment you've made in your investing career? I mean, the biggest realized or paper loss. I'll go out on a limb and say that mine was an investment in $META which I sold at about -50% (but luckily I got out fairly early at the time and transferred the money to a company that made even more) :D So, what's gone wrong on your investment journey? :)
Since I started investing recently, luckily nothing like this has happened to me yet :). I'm trying to invest really long term and don't want to sell too much. However, I'm sure those losses and bad investments are still to come.
Technology stocks are up tens of % this year, some by more than 100%. For example, $META stock is up 140% for the year and $NVDA stock is up 180%. I'm increasingly regretting not buying tech stocks sooner and buying more of them. However, I still bought some tech stocks. I was buying $AAPL stock at $133 and then I was still buying $GOOGL stock at $98.
What tech stocks do you...

So today we go to Meta Platforms $META with the results!
In an exciting week of events after yesterday's close, another big company gave us a glimpse into its performance and the results exceeded expectations. Congratulations to those who are holding or possibly put a call option yesterday. 😊
Great, thanks for the recap. The results are really great. I would like to include $META stock in my portfolio, but the price is really high at the moment.
I confess, I sold too early. 😔 But who knew. 130% YTD and almost $300 limit. 🙈 Maybe time to throw a short? 😏
A correction, yes, but I don't think we're looking at new lows from last year.
I would definitely buy everything from the big tech sector at more attractive prices,
AI! The most talked about topic in the investment world lately. We had a crazy tech rally during covid. When the pandemic ended, inflation and interest rates rose and the tech. mega rally was extinguished.
Now we have a new rally!
ChatGPT has left investors feeling exuberant. And a new rally is in full swing as all sorts of future AI opportunities are priced in.
That's why I've...

Nicely summed up and I'll join the Applaks here 😂 I also think they'll come up with something later when it's a blast
Have a nice Tuesday,
how do you feel about $META? It's been climbing back up quite a bit since the last drop at the end of 2022, which is great for owners of this stock. But some of Zuckerberg's plans seem very controversial to me, on the other hand, that's why his company was/is still a success and he owns instagram, whatsup..... What's your take on this?
$META has lost steam due to the metaverse, which it has failed to push and lives only on ads. 😔
Hey investors, have a great Sunday.
Since the earnings season for the first quarter of this year is almost over, I would like to ask you how you rate the earnings season and what results surprised you the most, either pleasantly or unpleasantly.
I perceive the results season positively, as I expected much worse. Obviously, some companies had worse results and did not exceed...

Personally, from the whole jerk I'm surprised there just isn't a recession yet, which su's always talked about. The tech companies, the hype around AI is just holding it together, that's all and if it wasn't for that we wouldn't be where we are in the indices at all. So I still expect a decline, not now if the Fed doesn't hike, but as just big tech runs out of drive, we should go down, but I don't think drastically.
I don't really get it and it annoys me terribly ( to put it politely). As soon as a country, or in this case the EU, needs money it goes after companies that are doing well. It pisses me off that when a country or the EU needs money and they have a huge debt they go after these companies. Otherwise, I'm not worried about Apple. Apple will and probably already is building factories in India and will target India, so I don't see a problem there.
