TGT
Target Corporation
stock NYSE

Yeah. I had some TGT calls that I thought would print. But alas, sold at a loss

Cool $TGT price action. Really fun. Demure.

Yeah, the excitement about the tariffs ended up. TGT went up almost 3% instantly and it’s now down

You don't understand how the stock market works apparently.
You're stuck on the "List stocks by P/E" narrative when that's not how stocks work in today's economy.
Costco's P/E is high, yes. It's been high, in the traditional industry sense, for many years now. Yet, people keep buying. Why? Because it's not treated as your traditional retail company.
What's the risk of Costco stock dropping? Low. Why? Because their membership numbers dictate the story. People are signing up in record numbers with near record highs in membership retention. What does that tell you? That they continue growing in a very predictable and consistent manner.
I never said it wasn't expensive in a traditional sense. A stock could be expensive but you can still make money off of it. Is your measure of a stock being expensive based on P/E? Please explain to me, do you think the largest investors of Costco don't know what you know that the P/E is too high, EPS is too low, etc., for the price Costco is at right now? That takes ten seconds of research to look up.
The nuance with Costco stock is simple as fuck: It's seen as a defensive stock with consistent business growth, expanding warehouse stores, a tough barrier-to-entry, strong business model, strong employee retention, strong membership retention (consistent profit), and more profitable every year. Name me a company like that right now that operates in the consumer staples industry..

Their EPS doubled in five years, BTW. Walmart can't sniff that, TGT can't sniff that. I also own BJ's stock as well.

Thanks for the response drag and drop SL and TGT i have seen with others but never noticed that with dhan.But with others trading view drag and drop functionality will work only for first set of lots, say 65 nos ,when we add another 65 nos (total 130 Nos) that option will GO OFF . So in real sense that is not at POSITION level and not suitable for high volume traders , but lets see what DEXT T3 can offer.

If we are placing regular orders will it have SL and TGT as default ?
so that will lack Super order functionality ,right ? so that is not a solution.Kindly allow upto 250 slices for Super orders also.

That’s a good point on CALM — commodity-driven margin expansion can definitely blur the signal around underlying durability.
When you look at discretionary names like TGT and BBY showing weaker growth alongside that, it makes the cross-company dispersion even more interesting.
Do you view this mainly as a subsector mix effect (commodity vs discretionary exposure), or do you think differences in cost structure and operating leverage are starting to drive more persistent performance gaps within consumer?

CALM is a commodity whose margins track commodity (egg) prices, which have been severely elevated.
consumer discretionary i find is better tracked in domestic-revenue stocks like $TGT, $BBY, which are doing relatively poorly growth-wise compared to history. this matches what i'm reading about job losses across multiple sectors + persistant inflation / cost of living.
not much to do with this information though, other than buy consumer discretionary if you believe the depressed multiples are due to this \[temporary\] weakness

Just a customisation terminal similar to Groww 915 or Sahi web cant impress the traders for a long ,need advanced features like semi automatic trading like Position reversal (close current position and take position in the opposite ATM) -this can be manual and auto at TGT ,easy stop loss and target set and easy edit even for bigger positions, strike/ direction selectable basket orders ,unrestricted basket volume similar to Groww 915 ,value to qty arrival in basket order etc.

"-At first i've bought 50% S&P500 at all time high using a lump sum, then immediately that started crashing last year with trump's tariffs. Sold at a loss and bought again at a higher price later. "
Don't buy high sell low then buy high later. You want to use periods like last April as opportunities and be buying what people are puking, not be one of the people puking up your portfolio.
Have a reasoning behind every investment you make and have that reasoning be at least medium-term. I've said before that last April at the bottom if you were thinking "what is this going to do in the next 24-48 hours?" you weren't going to be a buyer. If you were thinking, "in 6-12 months, I'll probably be happy with these buys" you were buying.
"Stay away from the S&P500/World ETF as i believe they're going to crash more thanks to trump's politics and his new Fed chair."
If you think the US market is going to crater then other areas aren't going to somehow be immune from that. I think international can outperform and lean more international but am definitely still long the US.
"-10% bought recently into consumer's sector (half Amazon at a discount right now and half Walmart even if it has high PE, it's reliable long term)"
Walmart is about as expensive as it's been in decades. It is benefitting from this economic environment and continues to take share from TGT, but that's priced in at this point. If something happened to change that, could be a considerable decline in something people consider a conservative investment. AMZN has underperformed MCD and KO over the last 5 years and Jassy has not been the Bezos replacement people hoped for. Probably overdone to the downside at this point but too many people keep "collect 'em all"-ing Mag 7 out of habit.
"10% MSCI Canada ETF"
There's specific names in Canada that I think are compelling but would not invest in Canada broadly.
"+Microsoft+Google+Netflix "
MSFT meh, Google good. Mag 7 has become the Mag 2 or 3 tops.
"-10% emerging markets ETF -10% South Korea ETF -10% Europe Stoxx 600 top companies ETF"
Fine.
" Avoiding heavy exposure in China/India/Japan markets because of the high risk."
Japan is having a great year.
"Keep portfolio diversified 50-50 between ETF's and stock picks which previously demonstrated in graphs higher resistance against cyclicality and stock market crashes."
Walmart isn't going to demostrate that if anything that has caused its recent run slows even slightly. AMZN cratered in 2022. NFLX lost 70% off the highs of 2021. You're not buying things that are going to avoid a downturn with the above.
"A diversified portfolio you're not swapping and rotating cash frequently, would be profitable long term."
This is good, but I don't know that there's a clear strategy with what you picked aside from gold, and no US aside from household names, some of which haven't done all that great in the last 5 years.
"Also i'm avoiding biotech/pharma"
I don't know that I'd avoid a sector like healthcare just because you lost money on a couple of stocks.

FWIW. My wife started going back to TGT after finishing her fake boycott.

Kindly ensure the platform is volume-friendly with single-click order placement for bulk trades. Additionally, please include an option to set position-level Stop Loss (SL) and Target (TGT), ideally merged directly on the chart. I am confident Dhan already has the rest covered. Please don’t keep us waiting too long, as the competition is getting tight; many platforms like Groww 915, Zerodha Terminal, and Sahicoin already offer similar features.
