V
VISA Inc.
stock NYSE

Considering all the shit going on right now, minus 1% is kind of tame.
Maybe it continues to bleed, but I'm willing to bet on a slow V, with theta fucking everyone over (as usual).

I brought OXY,CVX,COP,MPLX and CRGY like a year ago or a little more when nobody want it and hit 52w low all of them. Sold CVX already at 35% and I about to sell all of them very soon at ATH. The way the market is looking I going to start buying all the Financial sector after Monday drop. MA,V,AXP,COF,C, etc all of them already getting hit.

I demand a V in ES by open. I made $0 in Feb need to start march properly...

The Bull tenacity is fun to watch
1. We’re gonna shoot up 2%.
2. Watch we end flat to slightly green.
3. Watch it, barely even dips.
4. Market down 1%. Look it’s already starting to V.
5. ????

Holy shit the V just flew over my house

Even futes always V

V shape open ...

Lmao this is already V:ing
Green by open 🤌

V is coming

Gold V

Back in October, I decided to test Magic Formula investing with paper trading.
Just picked the strategy that looked the most promising and tried to do my own kind of backtest to see if backtesting tools are actually correct.
To generate a picklist of the Magic Formula stocks, I used [OutperformMarket.com](http://OutperformMarket.com) to screen and export the top Magic Formula recommended 30 stocks basket at the time. No manual cherry-picking, just the raw ranking output.
Doing so was supposed to give me honest returns, excluding backtesting tools major problems like survivorship bias.
So instead of trusting a potentially biased simulation, I decided to test it forward — starting from a clean snapshot in October and letting the market do whatever it wants.
I’ve been running this as paper trading for now - real prices, real timing, no retroactive changes, and no rebalance yet.
 
Here’s the full list of mentioned portfolio including price during pick (October 2^(nd)), price today, and return:

|30|GFR|Greenfire Resources Ltd.|$4.57|$5.94|\+30.0%|
 
Total return: \~15.2% (including dividends paid during the test).
 
**Is +15% Sustainable?**
Short answer: Sometimes it happens, sometimes not at all.
Long answer:
15% in 5 months means 36% annually if kept at the same pace, which is still far below the greatest years of Magic Formula historically, if we should believe backtests.
Magic Formula historically:
* Outperforms over long periods
* Underperforms in certain cycles
* Looks broken at times
A few months of outperformance means almost nothing statistically, but still hardly above expectations for a dead strategy, which I could read about several times in this sub.
 
Why Paper Trading?
Because I wanted to test the strategy without any bias that comes with backtests, like survivorship bias, and not do it with my own capital. I just wanted to plant the seeds and see what happens. If you are interested in what will happen with that portfolio over time, write a comment or DM me. I have a couple more paper trades around strategies planted.
 
Question for the sub:
In my opinion, only beating the S&P 500 makes sense to do anything other than picking SPY ETF. Did you try any strategy by yourself and have experience comparing it with the S&P 500? Do you know any other strategies you would recommend me to test in a similar way, or have your own results to share (only real results from portfolio interests me)?
 
 

V shaped recovery in one single trading session. The markets will yawn at this and after doing so will reach new highs

Only if overnight it drops big, and then Vs by open. If not crash by open, then V through EOD.

I was so bullish yesterday. Now I’m feeling bearish. Could be a wild V tomorrow

Until the V gets gobbled up by algos because they know no wars.

Have you seen what cum does to a hand? V sticky

We V back by noon

Dum dum dum duuuuuum. That's morse for V for victory.

Hey,
Im Laufe der letzten Jahre und vorallem mit dem Jahreswechsel 2026 hab ich meine Finanzen übersichtlicher gestaltet.
Da ich bis Mitte des Jahres umziehen werde, möchte ich davor noch weitere Punkte anpacken.
Unter anderem möchte ich meine Versicherungen auf den Prüfstand setzen, weil ich mich mittlerweile mit ein/zwei Versicherungen unwohl oder überversichert fühle.
Abgeschlossen hab ich in der Vergangenheit:
•BU mit 17 (auf Raten der Eltern)
•Bezuschusste Bu mit AG-Anteil + Auszahlungsoption bei Renteneintritt
•2x PRV
•1x Zahnzusatzversicherung (85% Kostenerstattung, außer die ersten 3 Jahre nach Abschluss)
Mal kurz ein paar eigene Gedanken dazu:
Die BU, die ich mit 17 abgeschlossen habe, würde ich weiter laufen lassen, denn Gesünder werd ich nimma. 😂
Einzig überlegenswert ist für mich, eine Rechtsschutzversicherung abzuschließen, da ich an eigenen Familienmitgliedern merke, wie sehr die Versicherung bei einem BU-Fall herumeiern.
Die zweite BU hab ich bei meiner Ausbildung abgeschlossen, weil kaum Gesundheitsfragen gestellt wurden und ich den Arbeitgeberzuschuss gut fand.
Ehrlich gesagt weiß ich dabei am wenigsten, wie sinnvoll das wirklich ist, da sowieso nur eine BU in Anspruch genommen werden kann. Pro Argument ist natürlich das sonst der Beitrag nach Renteneintritt quasi wie ne Art Rentenversicherung ausgezahlt wird.
Meine zwei Privaten Rentenversicherungen finde ich mittlerweile unnötig, weil der monatl. Beitrag gering ist und ich mMn auch drauf verzichten kann und dafür meinen eigenen ETF-Sparanteil anheben.
Außerdem gefällt mir der Gedanke mehr, eigenständig, flexibel und selbstständig darüber verfügen zu können.
Die Zahnzusatzversicherung hat nen sehr kleinen Beitrag ist mMn zu vernachlässigen.
Wie würdet ihr das angehen?
Was ist eure Meinung zu meinen Gedankengängen?
Seht ihr mich auch als Überversichert an?
Welche Versicherungen seht ihr allgemein als Wichtig an? Auch gerade angelehnt an den Auszug..
Würdet ihr auch welche Kündigen, wenn ihr so nichtmehr dahinter steht bzw ihr den Sinn darin verloren habt? (Stichpunkt mehrfache Rentenversicherungen)
Leider hab ich bei weniger Finanzieller Bildung anfangs ein sehr hohes Sicherheitsbedürfnis gehabt :V

I do both. I’ve had success with high yield stocks like MO and PM and high growth stocks like V and MSFT.
I diversify my portfolio by GICS, too easy for dividend investors to end up overweight in consumer staples and banking.
Next, I rank stocks in each GICS by the yield+5 yr DGR, the highest ranked stocks are screened for basics like debt level and if the DGR > Inflation. Then I buy the top 2-3 ranked stocks in each sector. Certain sectors skew high yield, others skew high growth. I don’t pick one over the other.
Variations on this approach have been knocking around for years, Lowell Miller published a book, Chowder Rule emerged on Seeking Alpha. So it isn’t very original. What matters is the criteria selects quality companies with long term prospects and should prevent becoming a bag holder by selling companies when they start to fail the screens.
