LOT
Lotus Technology Inc.
stock NASDAQ ADR

yeah i was thinking of writing the same comment, i had A LOT of those periods already

Hard work pays off congrats man I'm older and a lot further behind. A LOT. I'm in debt. This is motivation for me. I've always worked hard life has just hit me hard a lot of times I haven't been able to save like this.. But I'll get there. Big props

A LOT of my kids friends and a lot of my young relatives use Snapchat heavily.
I don’t know anyone with a Tesla, yet it’s worth $1.5 trillion.

In my 7 or 8 years on Reddit, the value plays have never been obvious. The inverse reddit was always true.
Well, not always. I saw a lot of Google optimists. And they were right.
I didn't buy Google then because I already bought in 2020 pre split. But always, the most upvoted posts, are not those that soar. In general. Could be certain occasions, but nah.
I still remeber a thread some years ago, a guy explained QCOM vs AVGO. QCOM evidently was cheaper and ON PAPER looked waaaay better. A guy defended Broadcomm super aggressively. He was downvoted to hell. Then Broadcom went up like 7 or 8x and Qcom went from 140 to 160 or something like that
There was another guy, I remember... sumer 2019. I don't know exactly but I remember it was like 200 bucks per share pre splits. The equivalent of today's 15 to 20 bucks. Something like that. That poor guy was OBLITERATED in the comments.
There are A LOT more cases that I remember, but not that long ago, when SCHW lost like 40% in one day, one of the most downvoted posts was a guy saying,
"This is a double in a couple of years". Well... it took 2 but damn was he right...
And I own Palantir. Bought at DPO. Bought later. Bought the dip... 99% of reddit was giving us shit, and in my personal case, PLTR retired me at 37
So... I'd use Reddit to get ideas, but I wouldn't pay that much attention to those that have the most upvotes

I learned 2 things in my 21 years in investing
1- Don't try to predict markets, try to understand if the business you're buying will be here in 25 years. If you just own the SP500, not even a need for the 2nd part
2- Use the markets as the tide. Don't fight against it because it is illogical and understand that the whole world is not Reddit or your circle of friends/age group in your city.
What I am trying to say in examples is,
Just because you're grom a major US city and you're 30, don't think Facebook is not growing (when Meta was at 88).
Just because the news are yapping about the end of oil dependance don't think oil is dead (5 years ago)
Just because pandemic happened, people is not going to stop going out/being social (Peloton, zoom... hype)
Just because Apple products are overpriced, obsolescence programmed, no innovation... blah blah blah, doesn't mean they have a fanbase, Apple is seen as a symbol of status and since I begar readings rhose critiques, the stock price has gone up may be 20 fold.
What thinks I see today, that I want to think I am seeing right, after all those years of learning
The trend now is AI and companies energy related but...
For example food stocks and beverages PEP, MDLZ, KHC, CAG, GIS... are struggling. BUT. I don't know if people is gonna use AI that much, what I know for sure, is that people is going to keep eating. Brand loyalty is not that strong anymore, but all of us prefer the real Pepsi, the real Oreos and the real Heinz ketchup.
Another thing about food stocks. 2 things. One is the GLPs. I am seeing already (my wife is a surgeon and does plastic surgery) people want to have the cake and eat it. So, what people want, is not to be thin. But to be able to eat more cookies and then be thin. Even if that costs money, surgeries or even side effects.
And second, just because in some areas of Europe, US, Australia and Japan, we are more health aware, that doesn't mean the rest of the world is like us. I've been A LOT in African countries (arab and black african) and in both cultures eating A LOT, and eating brands is seen as a symbol of status. In my last travel to Morocco, the cousin of the friend I traveled with to Fez, was having like 8 Pepsi cans/day. And he liked it to put the Pepsi outside of the car wile driving and walking by the street with the can. Totally unexplainable to me.
Another trend
Nike is on the shitter, but same thing. EVERYBODY was on Nike clothing and shoes in Morocco (for sure 80% fake) but still it is a symbol of status for them. And I looked at it. Do you know which brand is the most valuable and likable in all Africa? Nike. So I won't be so bearish when a whole continent, that is gonna double their population in the next 25 years, loves that brand. And Africa while super poor is a continent where wealth is gona 4x in those 25 years.

Question about HOA sa pinas. My mother gave me a lot that is in a subdivision, and we put up some cement fence. When the contractors were building the fence, the HOA came and asked us for HOA fees, but we declined. telling them is HOMEOWNER association fees. We are LOT owners and there is no house yet. They haven't asked us for the fee again since... does this mean they will charge us for the back dues in the future? I find it unfair that we would have to pay for HOA dues when we don't even have a house there. As of now it's still is just a vacant lot.

Economy is doing very bad. GDP has grown, but GDP per capita has shrunk every year for the last 5 years (2% shrink total, the worst 5 year stretch in Canada since the Great Depression). The majority of Canada’s economic “growth” is simply real estate costs increasing due to massive immigration quotas. Essentially, the economic pie has been getting a bit bigger, but the amount of people looking for a slice has gotten a LOT bigger. While I agree we could be doing worse, we could also be doing so much better. We have so many resources, so much land, and such great people, yet we refuse to pop the housing bubble, leaving the younger generations in the lurch. Young people are leaving at the fastest rate in Canadian history, and if we don’t course correct, QOL will (continue to) go down the drain.

Of course, thats always the same. You dont get rich playing a safe game.
If you want 50x or 100x you need to invest when their is still a high chance that they dont make it and go bancrupt.
I got in at 10 usd, doubled up at 6 usd and doubled up again at 3 usd. I went through a valley of pain in these years. My average is just below 5 usd.
When it started to go up, people told me to sell when i break even. They told me to sell at 15 usd, at the 35 spike in 2024 again, because 7x is a great gain. It bleeded down to 20 again. Damn it....
Then we hit 60, but a few weeks later, we were at 35 again. Should i sell? Hold on?
After we hit 100 it went down to the 50s again....
So what i want to say: even if you got in early its not easy to get these 20x winners, because you will be tempted to sell A LOT of times.

New spoofing tech allowing scammers to call you from a legitimate bank number. NEVER take incoming calls or text. Only speak to people you have called. Even if the calls are coming from a number you know to be your bank or brokerage number.

This seems to be hitting the Denver area mostly right now. Don't know how they're getting it done without inside information because they had A LOT of specific details about this guys banking.

absolute fool. What you need is not encouragement but to activate your brain and not be ruled by anger or greed.

You clearly have no idea what you're doing so you should not even trade. Spend at least one year paper trading and learning.

And no you dont feel "behind", you ARE behind. And you have wasted A LOT of money because you are blinded by emotion

I think there is a LOT of store to store quality variability, which is a problem. I’ve been to some like you describe and some that are much nicer and complete. I hope they are factoring this in when making store closure decisions

8mil would’ve been fk you money in the 90s, not now though. Now 5-10 mil is financial freedom. However, Hospice at old age for your parents, your spouse, and yourself will eat a 8 mil principal to zero when the time comes. Fuck you money comes at 50 mil. That’s when you can do whatever you want. Which is still a LOT less than a billion. And there are lots of billionaires who absolutely will never be able to use that amount of money ethically.

I haven't sold a share.
It's not too early, but unless you put a LOT of money in, it won't be an obscene amount of money out now.
I'm not selling until they at least get the whole constellation active, so 2-4 years.

> Then there is a swiss company that went public recently thay has A LOT of products that they love. It is called Galderma.
Galderma has been a great investment. It's definitely not cheap/a lot is priced in at this point but was nice to see L'Oreal take their investment from 10% to 20% not that long ago. Thanks for your comments.

**MINIATURE SILVER CASTERS**
Found another awesome artist to showcase for you all! J.C. Metals & More. This guy is great. He makes tiny silver fantasy weapons and objects. They are all hand molded, hand cast, and then hand stamped with the tiniest numbers to ensure you know their weight and 999 purity. Each and every one is unique, but there are a few similar pieces. I think you are gonna love these. Support a small local artist this holiday season, they are getting to live the dream :)

If we would know we would all be billionaires. Facts are there have been a lot of times in which gold for example has gone up A LOT very quickly and the dropped back down. In the late 70s as well as more recently in 2011. You probably have heard that gold it’s for “capital preservation” instead of growth. However the reality is that if you look at say the last 20 or 25 years gold it’s considerably up in comparison to stocks. There’s arguments this time it might not deflate in the same way it did back in early 2010s or the 80s. But there’s also arguments that it will.
Generally speaking it would be cautionary to not have more than say 10% of your portafolio in precious metals. After all they do not have any cash flow.

I honestly hate to think about it. For starters, we’ve likely lost a LOT of junk silver.

I bought a batch of MU calls (10) for its march earnings
Strike = 190 (yes, I am fucking old and conservative so deep ITM)
10 contracts, but may add if it tanks more (and it will).
And near the DAY of earnings depending on IV and theta, I will offload my entire position. this is a "buying into expanding volatility play"
And dear regards, I almost NEVER buy options other than the FD inside a spread so I don't get fucked too bad. But this time, the company is not trading at the level it can. LOT of upside.
