My best earners at the moment are; $SUPER MICRO COMPUTER INC(SMCI)$, $NVIDIA Corp(NVDA)$, $Alpha Metallurgical Resources Inc(AMR)$, and $Coinbase Global, Inc.(COIN)$. With the recent NVIDIA conference, AI is š„š„, but DYOR. Long term thatās where most of my investments lie. You can this starting to cross over with news that APPLE were/are looking to use GOOGLEās generative AI - what do tigers think about that? Considering Androids and iPhones are technically competitors. Dare I ask the question of where does mutual cooperation become an attempt at monopoly and/or anti competitive?
I think the FED will keep current rates on hold. I speculate that they made a bit of noise about a rate reduction to keep most investors from a serious sell-off. I speculate also that the FED wonāt necessarily drop rates if inflation is below 2%. It seems more investor panic management than any actual intention to cut rates š. But who knows, with a recession looming, I predict that rate cuts wonāt happen until late in the year, December even š£ā¹ļøšā¦

$MicroStrategy(MSTR)$ is definitely one to watch. My concern is because they own such a large amount of BTC (which is factored in to the companyās net worth?) , if thereās another crypto winter, how will $MicroStrategy(MSTR)$ fare? Though they seem to have a lot of other avenues for profit within the company such as the direction of AI and much sought after technology services like itās software platform and cloud subscription services. Though the volatility factor is somewhat risky, there are many large companies/institutions (financial and the like) that are accumulating BTC and investing in blockchain technology. Iām strongly considering adding it to my portfolio.
@TigerPicks:$MSTR: Is it the Top-Pick for Bitcoin Exposure?
I hold some crypto (including BTC), have $NVIDIA Corp(NVDA)$, $SUPER MICRO COMPUTER INC(SMCI)$, $Coinbase Global, Inc.(COIN)$ and other AI tech stocks which have done pretty well. A bit concerned over the place of AI in the future and how we will regulate the use of AI. With school essays, general media reports with ChatGPT, Dall-E and now Sora AI available to tge public. Autonomous driving vehicles, AI robots, etc. What are the possible ramifications in terms of misuse? I worry a little that the technology will exceed our ability to keep up with monitoring AI. Anyone else have their concerns here?
$SUPER MICRO COMPUTER INC(SMCI)$ bulish or bearish? I thought it might drop after such a record climb, but nope it keeps going higher. Thinking I might HODL this one like$NVIDIA Corp(NVDA)$ for a little while[Thinking]
I wonder about who creates the content on these sites/apps and for what agenda. I feel there are a lot of avenues for online information which are only there to make noise and steer you to a dead end. People go on and on about liquidity and how thereās not enough for everyone to get rich. So isnāt it in some of these ānewsā source companies to misinform the reader or viewer in order to get them to invest in chatter, rather than quality, good growth stocks using strong analysis of fundamentals, technicals, global business news etc.? Sorry, but for me āMotley Foolā is one of these chatter ānewsā sites. I used to follow some of their advice about āwinningā stocks, and lost out every single time. They need some people to lose their $, so that prices of the real āwinningā stocks can be relative
Chinese Spring Festival is coming up (Chinese New Year). Workers are poised to go on holidays from now for two weeks or more. Warehouses and ports slow or stop production. After, many companies have to rehire for whatever reason. They then have quality control issues with starting back up again. And China is still the largest exporter in the world (https://worldpopulationreview), which cites that āChina exported an estimated $2.72 trillion worth of goods and services, primarily electronic equipment and machinery such as broadcast equipment, computers, integrated circuits, office machine parts, and telephones. In 2018, Chinaās exports made up about 10.78% of the global total.ā China has also notably overtaken Japan as the āworldās biggest vehicle exporterā also (https://www.nbcnewyork.com/n
With Apples design chief leaving also, (problems with China, patents etc), they still havenāt done too badly in terms of share pricing. The design team may switch up a bit with the new design chief which may or may not be a good thing. The iPhone 16s have already been leaked with a few new features and camera, so weāll see. I expect $Apple(AAPL)$ to dip slightly (to maybe $162?) then correct with upward momentum. Long term I think Appleās revenues are pretty safe. With iPhoneās being so user friendly and so many diehard fans, Apple will be just fineā¦
@Tiger_chat:šAdvance Bet: Will Tim Cook's 2024 Revenue Rise or Fall?
$Microsoft(MSFT)$ Iām more bullish on than $Apple(AAPL)$, as I think Microsoft will hit above $400. Apple may come dip slightly possibly to $162, then move back upwards. Microsoft hasnāt seem to have had the same issues that Apple has had with China, the watch patents & with the Huawei purportedly overtaking iPhone sales in China also, Iām going with Microsoft. The future is near, and AI hardware and software (& cloud services) will be a large market that more than say $NVIDIA Corp(NVDA)$ can service. Microsoft has always been a strong player in the tech sector and itās stats of late have been pretty promisingā¦
I saw bitcoin climbing to a possible $80,000 in my analysis. But for all these sellers when spot BTC ETF is unbelievably approved by Gensler & co., and it was going up (though posible poised for a slight dip), and the upcoming halving. HODL! Large institutions are now holding BTC (and have been holding BTC for some time now), The interest in spot BTC ETFs has been positive mostly though there are many questions about liquidity, staking and such. Whether this opens up a whole new lunch cart for hackers with more wallets storing fat amounts of BTC, is something that concerns me. And I have $Coinbase Global, Inc.(COIN)$ which I bought early, and Iām not happy with the recent losses, however markets canāt rise forever. Even though Cathie Wood sold
As a retail trader, I havenāt had the capital to invest in order to make my first 100K yet (Iām still learning). I think youād want 15% on 1-3 million cash, in Australia (not including your superannuation or other assets). With the cost of living getting higher, I would want at least that & diversify some of it in at least a few strong long term ETFās. I think most everyday investors are hoping a good percentage of their stocks make them a good return just to live comfortably and happily?
I like $VinFast Auto(VFS)$ for long term growth. Also, depending on whether they release a more affordable EV than itās competitors, there could be a sizeable chunk of EV buyers who need a lower priced EV which is still safe and reliable of course. Iām still gonna bang this gong until one of these companies realises the market for cheaper entry level EVs. $30,000 is way too steep for me, and even second hand an EV will still set you back around $17,000. That is still way out of my price range. Iām rooting for $VinFast Auto(VFS)$ as just the manufacturer to fill that void. In the meantime, until battery technology etc. is further developed, I think Iāll be looking at hybridsā¦
@Tiger_comments:Is meme mania back? Will you bet on meme stocks?
In various portfolios I own 10 (including the top 5) stocks mentioned above favoured by hedge funds. Most are big tech stocks with the exception of $Exxon Mobil(XOM)$$Home Depot(HD)$ & $Eli Lilly(LLY)$ (in fractional shares with Tiger Trade). I favour $Meta Platforms, Inc.(META)$, $NVIDIA Corp(NVDA)$ and Microsoft for the highest profits at this stage. But Iām pretty happy with all but Home Depot (which Iām hoping will pick up over the Christmas period) at the moment. The thing I like is that these are all good, strong companies with high long term growth and fairly good earnin

For all the reasons stated in this article and more, āRed chipā stocks are just not viable for me at the moment. I would like to see a strong signal that the Chinese market is picking back up again, and watch it continue, before diving into Chinese stocks. I have $Alibaba(BABA)$ in my portfolio also, and expected some profit because itās a good company with strong potential long term. But with the retail sector being so quiet at present due to consumers and investors putting their money in banks or in other higher growth sectors, Iām with you on this oneā¦
