We’re still on GTA V

Wouldn’t surprise me if MMs do this to sell for profit then double down in the other direction for the V or dump after

The safe gave up a few more goodies this week! We've got certified gold, a rare low-mintage Swiss of America bar, a beautiful Tudor Beast proof, and a small herd of silver dollars looking for a new home. We've also got the usual polymer-based waterfowl and some fresh Coccinellidae looking for a new habitat. Whether you're stacking, collecting, or just enjoy buying shiny things to get FREE Duckies, there's something here for you. Scroll down and see what catches your eye!
A few things to note before we get started....
**📷 I will gladly take additional pictures for any item**. I would rather take 5 minutes to send pictures than have an unhappy customer.
⚠ Drop a comment then, **YOU send ME a Chat**.
Always make sure you are chatting with the person who made the post and not an imposter. I may be slow to respond but I will respond.
🏁 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️ **BIN comments are ignored**,
Just chat me and say you want to BIN and you will probably get a **no-haggle discount**! I am old and slow sometimes so it may take a while for me to respond, but I will respond.
💲 **Feel free to make offers if my prices are off**.
Offers will be considered for unsold items, and they will be considered quicker if sent with a comp. Just remember **My "No-haggle discounts" are available for those who qualify** so offers are cool, a constant back and forth or "what's your best price" is not. **🤡** Clowns who send unrealistic **lowball offers** **get the ❌**

5 figures on options trading and doesn't even understand the basics or vague mechanics of what he's doing.
please, read up, learn things, and stop trading while you're this much ahead.
otherwise, you will be posting a chart with an inverse V when you decide to dump it all on 0dte again.

The move from California for Texas during the pandemic has been disastrous for the biggest names. Since Tesla moved to Texas on 12/2/2021, it's only really worked out for Chevron:
| Texas | Total Returns | vs. Benchmark |
|:--|:--|:--|:--|
| TSLA | (-13.92%) | (-88.87%) |
| ORCL | +53.84% | (-21.11%) |
| SCHW | +39.72% | (-35.24%) |
| CVX | +104.74% | (+29.79%) |
| S&P 500 | +74.95% | -- |
Meanwhile, each of California's [18 biggest companies](https://www.financecharts.com/screener/biggest-state-ca) have trounced the market besides Netflix. In fact, #19 was Sandisk, the absolute best performer in the S&P 500, but I stopped there because it wasn't even its own company until the beginning of 2025.
| Texas | Total Returns | vs. Benchmark |
|:--|:--|:--|:--|
| NVDA | +526.86% | +451.91% |
| GOOGL | +151.16% | +76.21% |

Die Arche habe ich persönlich gefressen, nachdem ich ein paar Interviews des Gründers gelesen habe.
Ich persönlich spende an die hiesige Frauenberatungsstelle mit angeschlossenem Frauenhaus. Lokale Organisation, betrieben von einem e.V. Für mich genug Sicherheit.

Tacheles e.V. Bin Sozialarbeiter und kann sagen, dass die Deutschlandweit eigentlich wirken und dass mit sehr kleiner Personenzahl. Die Drücken im Bereich Bürgergeld extrem viel durch für die Rechte Betroffener, d.h. strategische Klagen und Veröffentlichungen bei rechtswidrigem Behördenverhalten. Die erstellen Leitfäden, bieten Fortbildungen etc an. Da hat man aus meiner Sicht mit wenig Geld einen hohen Impact.

Ich empfehle kleine etablierte Organisationen bei denen man weiß, dass das Geld auch "sinnvoll" verwendet wird.
Ein Top Organisation im Bereich Wohnungslosenhilfe ist der Schäferhop in Appen: [https://schaeferhof-appen.de/](https://schaeferhof-appen.de/)
Ragazza e.V. setzt sich für Drogenkonsumierende und oder Sexarbeit nachgehende Frauen ein: [https://ragazza-hamburg.de/de/](https://ragazza-hamburg.de/de/)
Die lokalen Bahnhofsmissionen sind natürlich auch immer eine gute Wahl, die können jeden Euro gebrauchen.

Last week I commented in the last earnings thread. Who wants my two cents for this week? 
LAST WEEK: Look at CVLT. They ran up insanly this year. Old legacy tech, but they actually are profitable and there are rumors about a takeover. The sympathy play is my darling RBRK, which has 80% margins and is growing like a mofo. Calls on RBRK. Next up F. They will talk about building batteies, we might see 15.5$ - 16$ on that news alone. BA will be flat. I wanted to buy GLW in the 30ies where it stayed for years, now it's at 140$ with ATH at 220 couple weeks back. Puts. CLS calls. CHIPS CHIPS CHIPS. UPS announces lay-offs. Bullish. APLD calls, we still in the AI buildout, they are 50% off from market highs. ENPH puts. MSFT puts might be ruckd by IV crush. STX calls, but also IV crush. V calls because they will talk about AI and Agent transactions using their shitcoins just like MA. QCOM calls because a folding Robot is good publicity. ARM calls because chips. THEREFORE AVGO FREAKING BIG CALLS. VRT calls because energy. BE calls because energy. FTNT puts, but ZS calls. AAPL puts because we are in risk-on mode - FOMC will be cool - and those guys are risk-off we don't do ANY risk with ANYTHING boring. Calls on AVGO GOOG RBRK ZS and my darling NOW. 
Edit: CVLT I was wring it dumped. RBRK flat. CLS opened flat after being up 8% in AH but recovered end if week, I was right. GLW tanked I was right but it recovered almost 90$ eow. APDL tanked but ended flat eow. I was wrong. ENPH was flat, I was wrong. Didn't recommend puts on MSFT, I was right. STX dumped, but ended flat eow, I was wrong. V and MA I was right. Holy shit was I wrong about QCOM. I was wrong about ARM, it dumped. Wrong about VRT as well. BE calls I was right. FTNT and ZS I was right.AAPL I was right.Calls on GOOG and NOW printed I am proud if my F calls. Literally hit my 16$ target. 

V good.

Aus meimer Erziehung heraus ist alles was Banken einem andrehen schlecht. Börse ist das böse pur. Versicherungsvertreter sind da besser. Wobei sich für mich das nie logisch anfühlte und ich entsprechend da auch keine AV habe.
Ich wollte immer mit V+V Vorsorgen, jedoch änderte sich die Lage mit den gesetzlichen Regelungen und explosionsartigen Anstieg der Bau- und Renovierungskosten. Da nützen alle Fähigkeiten zur Eigenleistung meiner auch nicht so viel, das es den Aufwand wert ist.
Erstmal floss alles in Eigenheim. Dann etwas Sondertilgungen, was überflüssig war (1,6% Zinsen). Mit den steigenden Tagesgeldzinsen häuften dich Geld auf diesen Konten an und ich fing an mich weiter zu Infomieren und kam so zu etfs.
Wobei meine beste Altersvorsorge immernoch die Pension meiner Frau ist, gilt das auch als Investment? 🤣

I own both MA and V in my financial sector. Visa (V) currently offers a slightly better balance of growth, stability, and yield, while Mastercard (MA) has stronger long-term growth potential but higher volatility**.** My cost basis for both is a fraction of current trade prices. More like 20% to 35%. To me they both are buy and forget stocks. I also own UNH only because children had UNH and Atena insurance. Both I have cashed out gains and left some for cushioning. My strategy is having all sectors and own selective international etfs.

I bought UNH after the drop not because i liked the stock but because I really like how they treat their customers.
(I'm not american)
Jokes aside, whenever these systemically-important, cash-rich dividend-monster quasi-monopolies have a huge drop, like COST / UNH / ASML recently did, it's a signal to buy the dip. They will always bounce back long term - if they don't, it's because something has fundamentally changed about how the economy they operate in.
V and MA have nowhere else to go, they have no organic growth left - credit is becoming more expensive as we are in a cycle of rate increases. Fundamentally - any lending company will have decreased profits when rates increase. When rates increase, consumers spend less because they have to spend more on their mortgage. It costs the lender more to borrow money, and people watch out more for fees. Payments companies thrive in rate cutting environments because people can see that their money is better spent now than later.
So if you're buying them you are expecting them to either find a way to nickle and dime customers more, or you are betting on them finding a way to increase their offerings via integration with stablecoins.
Some of the smaller payments companies have a long way to grow. If you're in V/MA it's because youve been in them a long time and like your tasty dividends.

What are your current views on Financial sector? MA and V

We’re still on GTA V

Wouldn’t surprise me if MMs do this to sell for profit then double down in the other direction for the V or dump after
