Thank you for sharing! I’ve been investing for many years, but switched to an index fund and BRK.B after realizing in 2013 (after a couple years) that the index was a lot better. I held that through COVID and did quite well being passive. But with trumps election and this AI madness, I switched back to trying to find value.
I hold a lot of BRK.B and FRFHF just because I trust their allocations better than my own. I try to stick with larger companies with a decent free cash flow yield and not much debt.
CMCSA is shaky but throwing off like 20% fcf on market cap per year.
SHEL/ADM also throw off a lot of fcf - shel also is a nice hedge against Middle East shenanigans and ADM has been mailing dividend checks for a looooong time.
CRM and FDS are smaller positions, but they seem irreplaceable and very beaten down lately.
UNP and DVA because we can’t seem to stop spending on healthcare. UNP is really beaten down while DVA throws off a ton of cash.
KDP and TGT are intriguing. I don’t think I’d have the stomach for your other holdings, to be honest. After 15 yrs of investing I’m learning to trust myself a little more, but still not too much LOL. Good luck!

KDP, due to their acquisition of jde peets and coming split, and the fact that they're now the number 2 soft drink in America, surpassing Pepsi a while ago. Joel Greenblatt was big on mergers and acquisitions, and if I just wait a year after they split (I own KDP), both global Coffee and us beverages might be bigger by then. I expect them to be shorted heavily after the split though, initially.
If I had more money, I'd buy more TGT. I think its still undervalued, maybe worth at least $175. And its a dividend King. new CEO, and hes keeping his word with helping Black-owned business, probably ending the boycotts for the most part.
LNC-in the middle of a turnaround, I just wish I got in at $18 and not $33. Sells annuities and hedges with life insurance. I have it in my retirement. Its been around since 1905, and survived a big problem with payouts caused by covid. Solid balance sheet
Deep value- TLPH due to insider buying and coremedix buying 19% of it with likely buyout after trial is over. I think it'll be a quick (8-12 months) 6-8 bagger. Its 75 cents right now. Maybe a gamble, but there's already this drug being used in Asian countries for 4 decades. And there's an ICD-10 code for it, meaning doctors will already be able to charge insurance for it right away. Fda has fast-tracked this and reduced how many patients in the trial make it statistically significant.
Deep value-opendoor. Partly sentimental, which is dumb, first stock i got into, but mainly the COO from Shopify took over and is trying to make it Amazon of buying houses and brought ofhers from shopifys turnaround with him. Insider purchasing from CEO, despite his huge payout based on stock performance. If amazon of housing happens, with like $3 or $4trillion TAM (at least), then the potential is endless, not including if/when it expands to other countries. Also looking at Kaz and his success at shopify, im confident he can improve it, as hes already improved the current ratio to 6 or so, so its not going bankrupt any time soon. Hes already increasing inventory and inventory turnover, reducing costs. Hes bought homebuyer.com and part of Doma, to help with escrow and refinancing.
Not financial advice, I haven't even been doing this for even 9 months yet.
Edit: number 2 soft drink in US is dr. Pepper btw, i know kdp owns 125 soft drink brands lmao. The sum of its parts is greater than the whole, being priced like a conglomerate and the split will unlock value

I am a… “professional investor” at a firm you know.
I’ve just learned about this GME sub’s existence.
Recently I saw a post about how some of you think GME could potentially buy TGT, WMT, COST… Is this a popular thesis around here?
Can somebody please formulate a coherent discussion for why there’s so many of you throwing yourselves at this stock?
