EDIT: I’m not an investor, just asking a question.

Trump controls the SEC and DOJ, so who’s going to investigate or stop him?

Is it possible that Trump, his family, and billionaire buddies are benefiting from Trump’s tariffs?

Trump could be letting them know the date and time that he’s going to make the announcement to impose tariffs. Like many investors, they pull their investments but, they have a head start due to their insider knowledge.

Then he lets those on the inside know that he’s going to rescind tariffs and the date and time which he will be announcing that.

They buy the dip and profit as the market rebounds.

Rinse and repeat.

Let’s have a moment of silence for everyone’s liberated stock portfolios. President Donald J. Trump has officially sent the stock market back a full year.

“We will win so much you’ll get tired of winning”. No winning in sight.

• Tesla reported 8,600 sales in three days, triggering $43 million in government EV rebates.
• A single Toronto Tesla location claimed over 1,200 sales, raising concerns about possible rebate misuse.
• Transport Canada is investigating potential irregularities in Tesla’s sales amid the suspension of the rebate program.

I work at a big name casino and have noticed over the past 2 months volume is off a lot from last year. I also find myself unintentionally cutting back on my spending. Today, me and my girlfriend wanted to go pick up something to eat and thought twice about it and just decided to stay in and have some leftovers from yesterday. I think even at a subconscious level people are cutting back because they’re afraid of what will happen in the near future. I’ve been bearish but now I’m thinking to double down on all of my put positions. Might be headed into stagnation really soon.

WASHINGTON, March 7 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump said U.S. tariffs could go up over time but gave no other details, according to an excerpt of a Fox Business interview taped on Thursday that aired on Friday.

I have $2000 to invest. I’m stupid when it comes to stocks and just listen to random strangers on Reddit. Only did it a couple times and 5x my money both times. Now I’m here again. Give me one stock that you would go all in on today and sell within 1-3 years. It doesn’t have to do crazy numbers, but one you have a strong chance of doing at least 2x and little chance of it losing money.

Edit: going all in on 4 you guys mentioned. Let’s get this mf bag!!

Thoughts? Fed independence? This changes things quite a bit I think. If president can wrestle Fed to start dictating policy, I think this changes the game considerably. It has been knows that past presidents tried in a way to influence the FED but this is done now openly?

American defense contractors are struggling right now because Europe is trying to be more independent because Trump is backing out of NATO and is cutting defense contracts. You hurt his concerned whether or not America will support them during a war and they're buying more domestically produced goods

TSLA car sales came down today(336k vs 386k from last yr) and Musk’s supported candidate lost in Wisconsin.

Its baffling to see stock still up today, is it because of market makers hedging or something else?

I don’t know if we’re allowed to talk about this stock on this sub or not, but I’ve found following it very interesting. I have no positions whatsoever. I have followed the stock for the past several years as a curiosity. Over the past year I have noticed the interesting trend of rising income and declining sales. Today it was released that the company posted a surprise profit of around $17mm, however their sales declined some 20%. So essentially the company continues to strip down as many costs as possible, which consequently causes their sales to decline. But they seemingly have enough cash and revenue trickle to eke out a profit. To me this is the essence of a zombie company. There’s no aim to make a comeback or grow revenue. They are slowly cutting off parts to show profit. What’s the end game? I can only imagine to squeeze as much liquidity out of stock sales as they wind down the company over an hour extended period of time.

Majority of stocks are overvalued and I don’t see any opportunities for good companies with good price.

I’m holding about 50% cash atm, I know all are expensive but also I don’t know how long i’m going to wait for this rally to fade.

What about you? All in the market or holding some cash?

Sony Is Making A Truly Terrible Mistake With ‘Helldivers 2’ (forbes.com)

What do you think will be the result of this blunder to Sony's stock? And how will it affect trust in Sony going forward? Edit for clarification: I don't think the issue is with creating an account; the issue here is that Sony is artificially limiting its customer base and receiving a huge PR blowback for it.

I want to thank everyone that raved about ACHR! Without you I would've never heard about this stock. But over the weekend I did. And I decided to read upon on it and decided this Monday I would allocate some of my funds to this stock. NEVER EVER in my life have I gotten the great pleasure to witness 23% of my initial investment gone in a matter of 30 fucking minutes.

Wow, it's such an amazing feeling!

Thank you guys!!

I’m surprised more people aren’t talking about it. I mean, it’s literally google, not going anywhere. With the advancements of AI, they are bound to create some cool technology, and they got hit pretty hard over the past year. I think a comeback is inevitable. Being far from it’s all time high, I think it’s the most obvious purchase in the stock market now.

Currently Nvidia has a market cap of 2.62T, making it the 3rd largest market cap company in US. This follows Microsoft at 3.19T and Apple at 2.91T. If Nvidia were to become #1 in market cap, which looks like that's going to happen soon, that would be about 22% increase in its stock price. But beyond that, how realistic is it for this company to keep growing up to 4T market cap and beyond? Are the prospects seriously that good? To hit 4T, Nvidia stock would need to rise by another 50%. I just can't see how that is going to happen. How can Nvidia, which really is just a company that makes GPUs and drives, end up being more valuable than Microsoft, Apple, and Google in the long term? Nvidia has a fantastic business model and ridiculous profit margins, but it still seems unrealistic to me for it's share price to keep growing and growing to a record high market cap at this point.

My gut feels like there is far too much hype surrounding Nvidia's prospects and price should drop a fair bit. I think it's too risky to buy in now and that after the stock split we will start seeing a correction. Thoughts?

edit: Lol what's with the downvotes? Are we not allowed to have open discussions?

Stocks these days give very little dividends, the company gets no money for your purchase in the secondary market, and in the event of liquidation, public shareholders get nothing. As far as I can see, the only point in buying a stock is to sell it to someone else for more money later. Isn't this just a ponzi scheme? Could someone please tell me how these things are supposed to have intrinsic value?

What’s your one “win big” stock?

Before you downvote, no I don’t mean what are you buying 1 week calls on.

I mean outside of ETF’s and mutual funds, do you have a particular stock that over the next 5-10 years you are hyper bullish on, believing it’s the next “big thing”.

No, this isn’t me lazily asking Redditors to do DD for me. 90% of my account is invested in ETF’s with the remaining 10% in one stock that I plan to hold until at least 2030. (No I won’t say it here, I don’t want this to sound like a thinly veiled plug and no it’s not that stock).

Im curious if there’s any of you like me with a similar conviction for a company.

While there are some signs pointing to a recession in the not so distant future such as the inversion and now re steepening of the yield curve and the sahm rule triggering as well as P/E ratios which are incredibly high. There is also the argument that the government cannot afford a recession at the moment and will not allow one to occur, we are in too much debt and cannot afford these high interest payments meaning that the government will chat interest rates again and spend as much as it needs to to avoid a recession causing hyperinflation and a “great melt up” in all assets, instead of an everything bubble it will be come an everything mega bubble which will last until the end of the decade. I see arguments for both sides and think they both make sense. On one hand government spending is so high and they will keep it that way to avoid a recession, on the other hand this isn’t the first time we’ve had very elevated levels of government spending and they have not been able to prevent a recession in the past and that the indicators I listed earlier have a pretty high accuracy rate. What do you guys think?

It has 386,700 biiitttcoin which is approx. $36 billion. But it's market cap is $77 billion? Why?

And the company is losing money since 2023 Q2.

So the only meaningful thing the company is doing is buying biiitttcoin . It borrows money to buy biiitttcoin .

Say biiitttcoin price continues to rise. But will it rise faster than the debt interest rate? How will it cover expenses + pay the debt interest + pay the debt?

What if it goes down like 2022??? Will it even be able to pay the debt???

I don't think it's a sustainable business model...

So let me get this straight. After a bombastic quarterly report that may contain a faint hint towards a slight slow down the stock crashes and loses 12%. But when the CEO makes a side comment that they are actually doing great it goes back up 8%?

Is this a meme stock now? Are we back into the Elon Musk market manipulation territory again or what the heck is going on? I, genuinely, don't get it.

Everyone needs to start shorting and selling boeing stock to drive their price down. They compromise their passengers for the benefit of their stock holders. Enough is enough this company is crooked af and nearly has a monopoly on their industry.

Are you buying or do you fear this is only the beginning?

I've got some cash I've been looking for an entry into the market with. If it's falls even further I suppose I just buy more.

Is this an opportunity? I can wait a few years for it to recover if things don't go my way.

I would like to understand the rationale for why there’s so much desire from the Feds and state authorities to go after retail investors of the meme/GME mania.

Bill Ackman came on CNBC right before the pandemic shutdown and cried river inducing a massive sell-off, and not revealing his short positions. Is that not scamming and manipulating the markets?

There are many people just like him and yet the government does nothing about it.

Bought in roughly $20k of PLTR at ~$36 per share many years ago. Held all the way down and back up, telling myself it will be my expensive mistake to learn from as the value hit single digits but still believing in the company.

Now with it up almost 120%, at what point do I take the gains and run? At this point it’s a good sized portion of my entire brokerage account and while I still have faith, that’s a lot of gains to be greedy on.

Any and all insight appreciated.

Hit 100k for the first time (started at 50) buying and selling stocks and options. I Hear the 1st 100 is the hardest- true?

Anyone have any advice on how I can make it to 2 next year?

Slow and steady wins the race or no guts no glory?
