COF
Capital One Financial
stock NYSE

I used to own COF and DFS. Read up on the credit card debt crisis and noped out of them both. Benefitted from the merger news surge and exited a week later. COF might survive another 08 level event, but it won’t be pretty.
With this merger allowed to go through, I worry about weaker institutions becoming a parasite on stronger ones - thus bringing down more institutions than the 08 crash did. For COF, it makes sense why they took the risk, but now is a horrible time to move forward with it.
With things like Klarna out and about, people can amass debt from so many different places so easily.

FXAIX is the same thing as VOO. And FSKAX is 90% the same too.
FIVLX is mostly the same as VXUS. If you want to play with factor tilts, there are better choices.
Get out of TSLL. Leveraged ETFs are for day trading only; the overnight reset magnifies the downside of volatility.
What’s with COF?

Opinion on COF?

All of my DFS (Discover Financial) shares (which have done very very well) have now converted to COF (Capital One). I am a LT investor and usually default to buy and hold, but want to make sure that hold is still the proper play with COF as opposed to DFS.
Insights appreciated!

Looks like you’re holding some long-term options here with COF and GOOG. The SPY call is an interesting play, but be careful with the COF position, it's in the red. Patience is key, especially when you're playing with options that have a longer time horizon. Good luck! Hope those SPY calls hit big soon

I'll give you 10 companies with higher forward yields and much better EPS consensus forecasts.
Google, Meta, Berkshire, JPM, ADBE, WM, TSM, COF, EOG, ASML.
The truth is the SP500 has been infected with shitstocks and regard traders. That's why the yields are all fucked.
Focus on high quality names and suddenly it seems far more normal overall.

It's a good idea to keep up with corporate actions if you're picking stocks individually.
Ex date today 5/19: COF acquired DFS for 1.0191 shares of COF per 1 share of DFS.
You'll be receiving COF shares as part of this stock merger.

Depends, idk if Capital one financial bought them out with cash or stock. If it’s stock you’ll just get COF stock. Otherwise cash.

UNH COF and NVO
Buy and forget.
