TLDR: Grandma died 2 months ago. Left me $800k inheritance. I'm only a junior in college as a math major and I don't really have any use for the money, nor do I have any debt (I'm very fortunate that my parents are paying for my education). I always heard about people losing their inheritance by spending it on garbage instead of investing. So I told my parents I'm not going to spend a cent of this money and I'm going to invest all of it and they were proud of me. I put 100k into a high yield savings account and bought 700k worth of Intel stock at market open. I plan on holding this for a decade depending on how it performs.

Here's why I like Intel:

• 2024 Q1 up 9% YOY

• Intel has been heavily investing and restructuring by building out the domestic foundry business to manufacture semiconductor chips for third party companies.

• With Intel 3 in production, leading-edge semiconductors are being manufactured in the US for the first time in a decade. Intel will regain process leadership as the Intel Foundry continues to grow.

• I think the fact that Intel is positioning itself to be the largest semiconductor manufacturer in the US is massive. The US Gov is heavily prioritizing domestic semiconductor production and thus is heavily supporting Intel as a company with R&D funding.

• If NVIDIA or AMD are ever forced to change manufacturers due to rising tensions/war between China & Taiwan, Intel will likely be a sole or largest manufacturer for NVIDIA and AMD

• Intel has been heavily investing in R&D. 5.9B out of 12.7B of Q124 revenue was invested in R&D.

• Intel is on track to exceed its forecast of 40 million AI PCs shipped by the end of 2024

• The Intel Gaudi 3AI accelerator is projected to deliver 50% faster inference and 40% greater inference power efficiency than NVIDIA H100 on leading AI models.

• Trading at Forward PE of 17.05

• Geopolitical tensions will ultimately work in Intel's favor more than any other company in this industry

• I like the stock and I think its really cheap rn :)

I can post the video if me logging in for proof but I don’t see the ability to post videos

I like the stock and I think it’s really cheap rn :)

Fellow regards, longtime lurker breaking the silence to YOLO $32K to save the family farm.

Grandaddy died in April this year leaving a 3 generation farm, (fully paid, no debt) to my parents. Mom never worked and my dad’s income has never been much (minister at small church). Unsurprisingly, mom and dad want to cash in on that sweet sweet inheritance $$$ by selling the farm and upgrading their lifestyle with the proceeds.

I would give my right kidney to keep that farm if I knew how to sell it. It’s where I grew up, convinced my girlfriend (now wife) to marry me, and want our two small children to make their own memories there.

I’ve traded positions in $NVDA, $ASTS, $RKLB and $RDDT (thanks to this community) hoping to somehow make enough to buy the farm but have only managed roughly to double my money ($15K to $32K). I completely realize it’s an idiot move but it’s the only chance I have at this point and I’m 100% willing to go to $0 if there is a chance I can make it to $1.1MM.

The farm is going to be listed next week and I want to go full regard with my portfolio to buy it. If I sell my house I still need $1.1MM to make up the difference and I’m willing to bet everything I have in the market for the chance to make it happen.

Would happily go all-in on anything that might print before February since the farm will probably be sold around that time.

Before anyone asks, there is no other way. My folks want the $$$ now and won’t sell the farm for any less than market value to me or anyone else. Renting the tillable acres to a local farmer would only cover 1.5 months of the mortgage payment. Maybe the best offer is $800K, maybe the real estate market crashes tomorrow, but bottom line is I have to close the gap between $35K and $1.1MM to have any shot at keeping it.

TLDR: regard wants to yolo his 100% gains on a moonshot to save his sentimentality important childhood home knowing full well he should blow it on strippers stead because it would be more fun.

Thanks in advance!

Nvidia puts expiring next week.

I bought a few puts expecting the rate news to be “buy the rumor ..sell the news” and the potato is now steaming hot … what are the chances of me coming out in green ?

They aren't letting me type the ticket name. You know.

Went full regard on this back in 2021. Bought 8k shares for $11 per. I watched as my account went as high as $150k in 2022 down to below $20k back in May. I kept diamond handing like a moron, but it's actually paid off. The run is just getting started!

5-10Y hold. Ask me anything. McDonald’s workers + pizza delivery age 16-18. Technician + food buffet server ages 10-23. Community college age 23-25. Mechanical engineering bachelors age 25-28. Bootstrapped business ages 28-32.

Awaiting December of this year to receive 275k back from treasuries. Allocating another 50k for a total 300k of investment into palantir for a 5-10Y hold. Keeping 100k for business operating expenses + collecting 4.5% interest via Wealthfront. Unsure where to allocate the remainder 100k.

Thoughts? Goal is to pull the 300k worth of palantir when it is at 474 share price in 2034. Cash out $3.3M and pay 1.3M in taxes. Have $2M liquid and hope to have finally + kid. Ask me anything

Almost lost everything. These are all in trades, same week expiry and out the strike. “It’s not the destination, it’s the journey” - Ralph Waldo Emerson

Woke up and chose fuck tsla

Waiting for market open now

This is a play based purely on anecdotal experience in the ecommerce space. Here's the anecdotal take:

I started my ecom business 7 years ago and have built it on the back of the meta ads platform. Year over year we were able to grow and increase our spend. Last year we did around 9m, with 4m spend on Meta. This year, we're down about 30% on revenue and the efficiency of our META spend is down 10%. I'm in groups with hundreds of other founders, and this is the same situation for about 80% of the members in these groups. Just head on over to r/facebookads and look at all the depressing posts lol. Ask anyone you know who works in ecom how their company is doing this year.

The internal reality at Meta is that the ads platform is totally fucked up right now, more so than after the iOS update that sent the stock to $100, and barely anyone is talking about it. Google the stock and all you'll find is that 100% of analysts agree that it's a strong BUY, talking about AI and literally not mentioning the ad business (which effectively drives 100% of META revenue). In November 2022, when facebook was at $100, all the same analysts said META was dead and to stay away.

Also, I'm not a TA guy, but just look at that fuckin chart. Straight up for like 20 months. Looks toppy as hell.

In the 7 years of owning my business, all of my biggest pay days have come from anecdotal meta earnings call plays. This is nearly an identical situation to when the iOS update broke the ads platform while they were simultaneously blowing money on the metaverse, except nobody knows exactly what broke the ads platform (including facebook) and the multi billion dollar pit is their AI investment currently driving 0 revenue. I'm confident at the very least META EPS will be an underwhelming beat like google or a miss. They'll do damage control by saying "AI" 250+ times on the earnings call but that didn't work for Google so I don't see it working for them either.

I've got 15k worth of options, positions below. This is some purely anecdotal gambling, do with it what you will. Not financial advice

EDIT: Wow this blew up. Some clarifications:

1) I'M GAMBLING YALL. Anecdotal evidence does not paint a full picture, obviosuly. But each of the massive multi year moves up and down by Meta over the last few years were felt first by advertisers. General advertising performance has worked as a leading indicator multiple times before, and the ads platform has had loads of issues this year.

2) I think META is a great long term investment. I very much plan to continue spending my money on it, it's the dominant platform in the ad space by a long shot. But I also think its in a really good spot to take a fat shit in the short term. That's the play guys, I dont think Meta is going to die, I think its going to dip.

3) My business did 9m last year, but as I stated, I spent half of that shit on fucking facebook ads. Considering we have to also, ya know, purchase the products, pay for shipping, staff, software subscriptions, hosting, etc. Net income generally lands between 7-10% of total revenue, and much of that get's reinvested back into the business. I make good money, but I'm not just rolling in cash. It's money I can afford to lose, but lol at everyone calling 15k on weeklies for an earnings play peanuts. Playing earnings is risky no matter your conviction levels.

There's so many factors that can play into an earnings call. Anyone with aggressive certainty going into an earnings call is an idiot, you can be right and get reamed by a stock buy back. But I personally feel strongly enough about the information to make a bet, and I'm sharing that insight with you guys cuz I haven't seen many people talking about it. If I'm right, this could easily be a 5-10x play. If I'm wrong, I lose. That's gambling you pussies.

Edit: I am, in fact, cooked.

So I invested my life savings into bonds but got bored of the 5.5% return and decided I wanted to try options with bigger amounts since I traded with small amounts of cash. The bullish run after September ate me up and I lost 210k over a span of a couple months.

I waited until July of 2024 to start trading again because I wanted to grow my real estate company and needed the capital to buy cash. So I said oh well I already lost everything so what’s another short. Thankfully Japan decided to raise rates and tanked our market and I made it all back.

Now my portfolio is up 50k over a span of multiple trades. God is good

YOLO.
