A lil bit of V and mid guys are :belt:

$MA, $V, and $AXP will hold up much better long term than the banks, so I'd probably go there. AXP is still correcting, so if you're looking to go really long like that's the one on discount, whereas if you're looking for a swing trade V and MA are better. Just know V is coming into double-top and bounced hard off that Crypto news last week.

If you had to buy one on Monday, which one would it be? $C, $BAC, $MA, $AXP, $V

I didn't make any trades, but I thought there was some interesting action this week. I'm glad to see that there are more and more non-tech/non-AI related symbols on the 52 week high list. Some of these non-tech/non-AI related stocks that look interesting to me at the moment (based strictly off of chart patterns) include ABBV, FAST, TBBB, and V.

I got an $850 card out of the $500 pack, and it was one I had actually been thinking of buying for a while (Giratina V Alt art)

I totally agree with you if you're looking at V as a long-term core position. If the goal is to start building a position in V to be held for years, I'd start scaling in here and buy more if it dipped around earnings. Things are a bit more challenging for swing/momentum traders.

The need for trust and verified data in this new AI age we are entering. Really look into the data moat, it’s insane. They are in great financial shape. Doing a great buyback program. Growth is steady. And this one dimension that more people should be thinking about - they are a capital facing toll booth. Same with BR. The reason I mention this is because I think you are going to see the consumer facing toll booths getting attacked in the future by the govt and politicians. it will be a way to assuage the anger with job displacement with AI through politics. FICO is perfect example recently. I think V and MA are next.

Nobody can deny that V has a great business - through it's VisaNet electronic payments network, it processes over 65,000 transactions per second across 200+ countries, but it has zero credit default risk because it gets paid for each transaction but does not manage the debt. I've held positions in V for many years, and it's been a great long-term play. My question is, what should someone do with V right now? It's up around 4.25% the past month and sits at an all-time high. It's earnings call is scheduled for Tuesday, October 27. Fundamentalists might say it's too richly valued with a P/E ratio of 32.80, and that investors should trim now and wait for a pullback before buying additional shares. Chartists might say it's a great entry point because it's just breaking out from a 2-year cup-and-handle pattern. I tend to side with the chartists on this one, but I'd use a tight stop-loss in case I was wrong. What say you?

Yes, overreacting. It will be years before Spacex has a mobile phone service that competes with V, ATT, T-Mobile.

Paid pumpers post about "Daniel Wagner's vision" and claim that Rezolve is undervalued and has technology the industry hasn't caught up to yet. The reality is there are literally hundreds of AI companies operating now. Every day there are dozens of press releases from different AI companies. Some, like Sierra, seem to directly compete on every level with Rezolve - and they have major customers - Walmart, Meta, Shopify, Stripe. It very hard to find Rezolve Ai mentioned in any industry articles unless Rezolve has sponsored them. This is the overview of a 150 page, $5000 per copy research report, which does list Rezolve Ai as a "Key Player". Rezolve is last on the list, but at least they ***made*** this list.

So I have not opened them for photography. Packaging will be done in a way that protects not only the metals, but also their containers (if any). All metals are sourced from trustworthy sellers and have passed my rigorous authentication through several steps in the following order whenever appropriate: 1. Weight test 2. Magnet test 3. Ice test 4. Ping test passed by iphone APP StackerTools. * This is an overly rigorous test which sometimes fails a legitimate piece of silver in an odd shape or heavy toning. 5. And/or the test of Sigma Metalytics Precious Metal Verifier PMV PRO with Refiners Wand, Small Wand, Large Wand and Bridge (Model #2701): * This device tests the resistivity and density of metals. It cannot tell you what a piece of metal is. It can only tries to tell you if that piece fits what you think it is. You have to have a rough idea what the piece can be. * It is one of the best ways to test authenticity in general, but it cannot replace other kinds of testing, and is not always the right/best way of testing (NOT infallible, and limited in the testable range of metals): * In rare cases, a fake piece of metal can have similar resistivity and density of a real piece thus fooling Sigma. * A genuine metal piece may fail Sigma test because of its extreme size, lack of flat surface, toning, and other interferences such as assay card with authentication technology. For example, a genuine PAMP 1 gram Fortuna Gold Bar fails the test of Sigma PMV Pro with all accessories due to its extremely small size and the interference of its Veriscan Assay Card. * This device cannot test silver with a purity lower than 83.3%. For example, 40% silver Kennedy Half Dollar cannot be tested by Sigma, but can be tested by ping test through StackerTools. * Thus, my multi-step hybrid authenticity test is superior than only using Sigma, and is the best practice given my resources. There are other even more expensive tests - XRF can outright tell you the exact metal composition of the surface of a piece of object, which Sigma cannot do. But the penetration of XRF is shallower than that of Sigma. For anything that is not mentioned above, feel free to ask.

I can’t give away the exact name but i admit syllable is wrong word choice. Letters would be wrong to use too though since there’s no V in the name but it is in the way you pronounce it. It’s one of those Irish names where the pronunciation doesn’t match the spelling.

>Appreciate the response - would love for you to explain "predatory". The house always wins. You know this when you enter a casino. That is the "predatory" aspect where you are putting money on the line for your own "entertainment" with the likely outcome being the casino wins (because the casino preys upon the dumbfuck gamblers who don't like thinking about math very much) >You're claiming they are rigged but I've seen no evidence of that. Do you need proof that someone is counting cards, proof the magician is using sleight of hand, proof Al Capone had people murdered in broad daylight, ect? **The issue with gambling laws is the person offering the gambling is supposed to be the one to PROVE they are doing it legit.... not the other way around.** >A 100 prizes get listed and people bid for a chance. Honestly, for all the complaints I feel like they're better than scratcher tickets. If I don't win on a scratcher there is usually no consolation prize of a buffalo nickel or wheat penny I'm just out the cash. Some online individuals who create their own casino's are doing it slightly less predatory than others. (it's less predatory than a scratch ticket is not a good selling point for folks like me who understand math / incentives) >So if you mean 'fair' in that the code is being reviewed to ensure there aren't potential exploits? I mean that the code should be reviewed and any of the "you pick" prizes are simply just the family members / friends choosing the valuable items for the stream to lure the other gullible idiots into thinking they will also get anything of value. >I honestly just hear a lot of people complain about gambling in general and while I understand some people are bad at calculating odds, impulse control, or budgeting You sound like you've never grown up with gambling addict parents. Congratulations. >I have never understood regulating the people who don't have those problems to control the ones that do Why are you telling me this as if this is related to what I said? >I honestly just hear a lot of people complain about gambling in general I wonder why (sarcasm to illustrate your question as silly) >I want fair games but don't understand how these are unfair It depends on the game for the scalability for how fucked you are going to get. For example 3 card monte can be rigged through sleight of hand as well as the find the ball in the cup game. Poker can be rigged through sleight of hand. When you add a fixed camera to a casino.... it makes it A LOT EASIER for them to instigate: SLEIGHT OF HAND to cheat you out of potentially "beating the house". If it is a "you choose" gambling game where all the choices APPEAR to be identical the rig there is the valuable ones will have some kind of very faint marking that will be communicated with the family / friends of the person running the game... those friends / family will pull valuable 'hits' to trick the viewers into thinking that this is a fair game with real prizes spread throughout. You need to have some imagination if you want to understand the world rather than assuming every small time casino isn't existing with the goal of taking your money through morally grey means. There are 1,000's more ways to trick the user that I'm not going to get into to keep this from becoming a 10 page essay. >Most states allow raffles, these feel akin to that Fold your raffle ticket in half and it will slightly unfold into a V shape. You just 'rigged' a raffle game if you control all the tickets and only fold certain ones. >This can definitely be taken too far either direction What are you talking about? >I heard someone say once "You can't idiot proof life" and I think there is a basic truth in there. Do you think I'm trying to "idiot proof life" or do you think I'm trying to illustrate why people who gamble are stupid? I feel like this entire conversation has been an illustration in your stupidity / desire to defend your gambling addiction rather than HEAR / READ / COMPREHEND WHAT I AM SAYING.

All the traditional cell carriers have fiber backhaul, something starlink will never be able to compete with. They may be able to offer nice coverage, but speed and latency are going to suffer compared to the V, T, TMUS

Yep. Market is largely set it and forget it for most ppl with more widespread etfs and now bot trading. Leverage allows more leverage which allows more leverage too. Ppl underestimate how much ppl are just “diversifying” thru VOO auto buys etc. So much “welp I guess this is a good trade and the gov will always bail us out”, even amongst high end managers. The PROBLEM is we have not had a reason to stop (other than pesky logic and prudence)… so we keep going. 20 years has given us no consequences and a lot of “waaa daddy gov bail me outs” Which has led to a new environment that ppl refuse to fully recognize or understand When this corrects or even massively plummets to off tbe cliffs of insanity - when - then hindsight will be 20/10. Everyone will say the knew the issues but hide the fact they lost their shirt or home bc they didn’t have conviction to ACT on those “I always knew this” instincts lol 2008 was just a warm up. And 2020 made gov seem like it’s spelled with a D instead of a V. So ppl worship the markets god as infallible. When the lesson happens, and it could be a month or it could be 3 years - ppl will be so shook that they will possibly not trust the system at all. Even when the system rebuilds from the bottom. Or hey. Maybe we will jsut inflate aways the lower classes (and I do mean anyone making less than 10 mil a year) and become an aristocracy. We always were jealous of Europe. 🤣

Just recently bought TKO @ $172; I think the RSI was below 30. Looking at the recent settled lawsuit, it's clear V. McMahon was, and still is, and absolute toxic, waste air, energy, and sh\*t! That said: WWE moving to Japanese markets and is locked into 10year deal with Netflix. UFC continues to get more and more popular and sell out Live events. They just need to continue staying fresh/relevant, keep their fighters happy, and bring in young, entertaining talent. Not an amazing dividend...but it's there which is the point. I was recently at a large, multi-family get-together at the beach this summer. It was interesting to see that half the dads were into WWE, and the other half were into UFC. NO ONE was disinterested in either, except the Brit dad who was an Arsenal fan 🤮 I feel like TKO is good short and long.

I'd put a third into indexes like SPHQ, SOXX, SPMV. I like Dividends, I like high quality, I like low volatility factors, I like some US and some international. I have other ETFs and indexes that are low cost that also make money like HOMZ is a housing REIT that pays monthly dividends and it has more than doubled since I bought it during COVID and then it has sat in the $40s but I am just reinvesting the dividends and letting it run forever so my cost basic drops. I have FLIN, FLKR, EWY, EWY, DXJ, and so on for international diversification. So think about your index creatively, do not put all of your eggs into any one basket, in sectors, nations, etc. I'd put the other 2/3rds into 5 different stocks in a diversified best of breed focus. Sector examples of what I like: One Semiconductor I like NVDA best, but AVGO, AMD, INTC, MU, MRVL, etc (I have most of these as well as some not mentioned like QCOM that I am well up in but it really is not doing much) Semi services LAM, AMAT, KLA, etc (I have 2 of these) One Tech I like MSFT, & DELL, but GOOG, APP, AMZN, META all worth consideration. (I have half of these) One Financial I like V, MA, GS, JPM, but BA, WF, AXP, MS all worth looking at (I have the ones that I like) One industrial CMI, DE, CAT, GNRC, SHW, GLW, ETN, etc I have one of these at the moment One Healthcare (I have none of these, I do not like the sector) LLY, MRNA, BMS, AMGN, NOVO, etc etc One Software SNOW, NOW, CRM (I have NOW, love it, shocked at how CRM & SNOW have outperformed NOW so far this year, but NOW looks like a better investment to me). One Cyber-Security PANW, NET, OKTA, CRWD, ZS, FTNT. I have 3 of these. Energy ARRY, FLSR, GEV, CVX, XOM, BE, DNNGY, I have all of the renewables via stock ownership and gas & oil via low cost ETF like XLE instead of individual stocks Aerospace, defense, space, communications, and so on are other sectors as well as consumer staples, consumer discretionary, I'd look for value and/or growth catalysts. High quality, profitable, nice cash flow, any moat, etc, Example: I think that the market is dead wrong on APP, I do not see the legal cases as a problem, and while Unreal seems like a threat, it is a very different customer that uses Unreal game development for the ads. So find areas where you think that the market is wrong. I bought PLTR at $8 per share when no one loved it. I took out my cost basis at $80 (sold 10%) and sold another 10% at $120 and just play with house money and ignore it now, IDGAF what it does, I am letting the rest ride or die. Sometimes I lose. I am underwater on APP, but I am sticking with it, the revenue miss was still a very nice year over year increase. If it goes down more, I will add to my position and lower my cost basis. I am not abandoning a company that is literally printing money. So you want diversification because it makes betting against a trend less painful like I am doing with HOMZ and APP. Because even when those go down, my portfolio is still mostly going up.
