Will buy JPM because you know they will just get bigger

Congressional holdings are interesting as a contrarian signal, but don't mistake it for edge. These are mostly mega-cap defensive plays — MSFT, AAPL, JPM. What's more interesting is insider buying/selling within companies (10b5-1 plans), which actually has predictive power. Congress holdings often lag the market and are held for different reasons (diversification, not conviction). Worth tracking but I'd weight insider transactions 10x heavier in your analysis.

Have my money in JPM preferred stock paying 6%

There are perpetual preferreds from major companies paying 4-6% (T, F, BAC, JPM, etc.) and 5-8% bonds.

Heyyy, I'm new to investing and would like your opinion:
# Context:
My employer offers a **pension plan** that cover 5 funds **with sustainable focus** (ESG), the **Fee is 0,71%** and is **40% US 53% EU 7% Asia** (mainly Japan).
* Fidelity Funds Sustainable Eurozone Equity Fund Y Acc EUR
* JPM Global Sustainable Equity Fund C acc USD
* M&G (Lux) Global Sustain Paris Aligned Fund C EUR
* Nordea European Sustainable Stars Equity Fund BI-EUR
* Vanguard ESG Developed World All Cap Equity Index Fund EUR
**For every euro I contribute, they add a 20% on top. There is no cap.** Plus, after 2 years in the company they add 25EUR on top, after 5y 50EUR and after 10y 75EUR.
**Contributions are made from the gross salary**, so the tax benefit is also nice (I live in Germany :') ) I can withdraw the money whenever I want, there's no age limit.
Before I knew this **I was considering investing in the Invesco FTSE All-World UCITS ETF Acc** with a simplified strategy of automate pay and chill :)
# Question:
**Should I focus on investing all I can in the Pension Fund** while I work in that company and start with the ETF once I leave (I'm planning to stay there 3 to 5 years more)?
Or **should I distribute the portion I can invest between the 2** so I can get more US, emerging economies and non ESG companies exposure? with a bigger portion for the Pension Fund.
Thanks for your help :D

I’m well aware of the JPM collar. But to say that these trades are “suppressing the vix” is ridiculous. That’s not how it works.
What do you mean by “oversupplies dealers”. Dealers hedge. There is no amount of supply that can have an effect on the vix calc PERISTENTLY.
QIS and systematic overwrites can create an underpriced right tail, but they’re not suppressing the vix. That’s tin foil nonsense.

The manipulation of JPM using those paper contracts is how they control the spot price. It's going to get very difficult for them in the next month.

You might want to look at bank preferreds - good credits only. WFC, JPM, COF, BAC.

How does this directly affect banks like JPM and Bank of America?

Everyone talks about AI (NVIDIA, data centers, hyperscalers), but the foundational infrastructure that makes it all possible is often overlooked: massive connectivity.
Verizon is positioning itself very well here:
* Strong expansion in **fixed wireless access** (5G fixed) and **fiber optic** (FiOS)
* Explosive demand from connected homes, IoT devices, smart cities, edge computing
* Every new AI data center, every cloud factory, every 5G/6G deployment needs huge bandwidth and reliable backhaul
AI and cloud growth require massive connectivity infrastructure – without solid networks, no massive training or real-time inference. Telecoms like Verizon benefit quietly from this boom: they don't make the chips, but they carry the data. It's a bit like the "picks and shovels" of the AI era.
Trading-wise, rotations into infrastructure plays (telecom, fiber, data connectivity) often happen when the market starts looking for cheaper names than pure AI chip players. VZ already gained +20% in February while the S&P lost ground, and analysts (JPM, RBC, etc.) continue raising targets.
Personally, I opened a tactical long position on Bitget stock futures (VZUSDT perpetuals) to catch this infrastructure rotation – adjustable leverage.
What about you?
* Do you see telecoms as a real hidden beneficiary of the AI boom?
* Is the rotation into these infrastructure plays underway, or too early?
* What's your setup on VZ or other telecom names right now?

Just learned that JPM reportedly sold \~14M HIMS shares a couple weeks ago, concerning about NVO lawsuit only for NVO and HIMS to not only settle but also re-institute a new partnership. HIMS +40% yesterday before market closed.

I have easy access to them on E*Trade, I don't need a JPM for that.

I think I might weasel out of JPM in case they get splashed by the Private Equity news, but Shirley I will put the $ right into one of these stocks that are on sale (like TEAM)
