MSFT
Microsoft Corp
stock NASDAQ

Averaging down NVTS would further concentrate your tech exposure, already significant with MSFT, NVDA, PLTR. Re-evaluate your overall risk.

I had pretty much my entire IRA in MSFT at \~$320/share. Liquidated today. Maybe I’m just a stupid perma bear and I’ll be beating myself up over this forever but I think a big one is coming. Maybe not tomorrow, but soon.

Me & individual stocks are mostly on a break. Still have some TFII, ARCB, KNSL, & BWA (sold the GOOG, MSFT, etc.). But the market’s in a strange place. There were too many variables with AI, the Iran thing, the macro environment (inflation, bond yields, interest rates), etc.
So now I’m hunkered down with a few stocks, some Avantis ETFs, a little IUS, my trusty VOO, and some money market funds. We’re just going to ride this out for a while & see what happens.

Funnily enough September was my second best month this year.
Bought the dip on some stocks and they have recovered nicely. Made +32% on MSFT and META and still holding MU at +31%.

I went to LinkedIn and saw some made a post about a new “job”. And then that person liked their own post.
TL;DR calls on MSFT.

He was spot on about MSFT and ZM, they were a recent position of his and are up quite a bit.

I’d probably look at it less as should I average down? and more as “would I buy NVTS today if I didn’t already own it?”
Your $18.73 cost basis really shouldn’t drive the decision going forward. And since you already have a lot of tech exposure through MSFT, GOOGL, AAPL, AMZN, NVDA and PLTR, I’d ask what NVTS is actually adding to the portfolio.
If you still really like the business and think the current price gives you a good risk/reward, then the existing tech exposure doesn’t necessarily mean you shouldn’t add. But if the main reason is that it’s down from your original purchase price, I’d be careful with that...
Personally, I’d go back to the original thesis and ask: if I had cash today and owned zero shares, would I start a position at this price? If the answer is no, averaging down probably isn’t going to fix that.

Also no Satya or MSFT representation, which is interesting

Seems like a lot of these mega’s go thru this long consolidation cycle. NVDA is stuck in one, AMZN
is stuck in one, MSFT and META have only just broken out of theirs. I held MSFT for months waiting and it paid off. I didn’t catch META but I’m holding onto GOOGL and waiting for the payoff. Patience!

They’re still valued as a whole business and a share is a piece of that. The takeover possibility is mostly theoretical at that size but it’s still real.
If the price of MSFT wasn’t $500 a share bc nobody believed in it, I’d buy all the shares, become chairman of the board and institute a massive $76B dividend to return cash to shareholder. Me

"Other names to consider: Memory: MU, SKHY Cloud / Compute: GOOG, AVGO, AMZN, NVDA, AMD, MSFT Infra / Capacity: CIFR, CRWV, SPCX, WULF, HUT, AKAM"
Out of those, in which would you invest in if you received a windfall amount of several hundred-thou$and?
Put another way, which have evidenced the most consistent returns, and which have the highest reasonable expectations over the next 1-3 years?
(I note that TSM not even on the list)

ima gay bear position on MSFT rn. these are untested waters for me

Should I buy NVTS if I already own MSFT, GOOGL, AAPL, AMZN, NVDA and PLTR?

I played MSFT perfectly and I'd say I played NVDA horribly, but really the mistake I made was thinking there was anything to do with NVDA today but buy puts.

Wait for a dip and pull the trigger, 5-10 points OTM.
This strategy has printed hard 80% of trading days the last 6 weeks.

I just want you to know, I held these for like 3 months for modest gains, then sold them all and full ported into MSFT calls at peak despair and 3xed my position. 
So basically you guys are regarded. 

MSFT had great earnings, this is just "macro-economy" going to hell.

MSFT and GOOG bulls got this the worst, those stocks don’t even barely move during a bull run, this loss will be generational🤣

MSFT just dove off a cliff.

Getting the AI jitters, so I've sold my stock in MSFT and NVDA. Rode up from $25k to $100k combined. Keeping AAPL and a few other tech stocks, but pivoting to oil.
