Off-Topic Stock Market & Crypto Discussion

I looked into Grayscale and it works out to about a $6 premium per share (as of today) plus 2% fees annually. Thank you for the rest of the info.

Question on robinhood - what is the hubris that has made this app and trading platform so polarizing?

Is this a stock or platform?

I've talked about it in here extensively as a way to get excellent crypto exposure. I even recommended it to you, personally. See my post below!

BRPHF.

Basically becoming the black rock of crypto.

Up another 18% today.

Canadian ad company... I use a guy... stockgumshoe.com . Has hit many for me... Shopify at 50. He reads all those teasers like motley fool and deciphers the clues and tells you the stock they are recommending. Then he recommends or not. 4$ a month.
Nice call on this. Still a buy? This conversation and rec slipped through the cracks for me.

Agree. Definitely some focused tech fund exposure if long-term.

Also... well, ok, I am going to pivot... this is making me speak a different language than I want to. I just don't understand why someone would want to invest in their best 100 ideas or in the 100 best companies that fit into a restrictive profile when they can invest in their best 10.

I would carve a little space out in his portfolio for some TPL. People don't understand it still. It's going to spit cash, probably forever. They are the largest landholder in Texas I believe. Its converting from the trust to a C-corp which is going to take the handcuffs off. Its not only an energy and grazing and more play... but its a future water rights investment. Long term, it's a no-brainer and could be a difference-maker. Regardless, the risk is very low IMO. How about 5%, @wspcane?

And you just have to have some crypto exposure in your life. At least a bit. Some smart people are calling for 20x. And you can do it without worrying about owning coins. It's multi-purpose. It's a hedge, a tech investment to some extent, and it gives you some exposure to a supposed new economy. I'd grab some Galaxy (BRPHF), just a little, and tuck it away for now. They are aiming to be the Black Rock of crypto, and its a coin play too as they have holdings.

And holy crap, XOM is down so much it's spitting off around a 10% DIV. You are talking about one of the most substantial companies in the world. What a fantastic time to take a position and sit on it long-term and reinvest the dividends. I think that's an easy 15%-25% a year.

How about a little AAPL? Or more than a little? You're not buying an iPhone company. You're betting on the fact that some of the greatest and most innovative minds on the planet, who get to spend FIFTEEN BILLION DOLLARS A YEAR SOLEY ON RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT are going to come up with what's NEXT. You want to bet against what they have in their secret pipeline? I think you just have to have some, and it's down nicely from its highs. They are going to dominate digital services eventually too, not that they aren't killing it already.

I guess you should own a little AMZN. I never have because I've never seen an entry point. And I've been wrong the whole way.

These aren't stocks you have to "manage." This is buy and hold type stuff. Fvck funds.


@wspcane-

For fun, let's revisit the conversation and take a look at where these stocks were on Sept 24 when I posted this suggested long-term "buy it and forget it" portfolio that is more focused instead of just buying ETF's and funds, and where they are now.

TPL: Was $421, now $725, +72%

BRPHF: Was $2.02, now $6, +197%

XOM: Was $34, now $44.50, +31%

AAPL: Was $107, now $129, +21%

AMZN: Was $2,990, now $3,238, +8.3%


You'd be up +66% in your portfolio in less than three months if you split your investment evenly over these 5 stocks. And 60% of your portfolio would have been bluechips, and other 20% would have been maybe even more conservative in some people's minds (TPL). And this doesn't even include some dividends you would have been paid along the way (XOM and APPL).

You could do worse.

I was actually thinking back on that post recently. Please do keep the recs coming, especially the blue chips! You know my risk tolerance with some of the smaller cap/OTC stocks is still not all the way aligned with yours. But I do think there is still a lot of value in the large caps still to be found.
 
Apple is supposed to have some new chip or something that is going to be a game changer. Maybe goodbye intel.

Intel is getting crushed from every angle at once, they're really in a bad spot. AMD has been gaining serious market share and is a really good spot to take the dominant position for desktop chips. They're also neck and neck with Nvidia on the GPU side. The stock has already run really far in the last 18 months but if they overtake intel it's going much higher. ( i was a late to the AMD party but i've been buying since 35$)

Is TSM in the same space as them?

Anyone expect to see massive cybersecurity spending in the next year or two following this Russia hack? I would love to see some military spending shift to this space.

TSM is the foundry that makes chips for a variety of companies including Apple and AMD. AMD and APPLE would be "architects" in this relationship. Intel did recently ink an agreement with tsm to help alleviate their self caused supply issues that started their decline.

I also own TSM as well as qcom, marvell, qorvo skyworks, xlnx, nvidia, apple. Im big on the sector long term and there still a half dozen names id like to add. Intel to me just looks like its the obvious loser of the bunch right now.

I have heard a lot of positive buzz on QCOM related to the move to 5g.

I dont recall too many specifics but i believe they own some important frequency patents that cement them as a major player.

5g is big early step towards us entering the IOT age where nearly everything is "connected" and true autonomy can begin.
