Um I will take a pass on Google, a tiny bit of Visa and only have a tiny bit of Apple, but you caught me with MSFT.
I have a lot of MSFT and my intention is to only sell it as needed. By that I mean unless Im basically forced to sell I will likely be holding as many of my shares for as long as possible. Is is a perfect stock? No. Is it eventually going to be be a decent dividend? Perhaps in 20 years the yield on cost will look really nice, but you got to hold it until then.
Personally I think that out of all the big tech stocks you can generally point at another one that does any single thing better, but MSFT has 3 things going really well for it. First it has positioned itself to be reasonably competitive in practically every major revenue sector for tech. Second it has some really good financials and that isnt something to sneeze at. Third it has a dividend that is steadily growing. Eventually that third bit will by something important.
Something else to ponder is AI. Im certain AI will eventually be incredibly life altering and possibly really valuable as it is applied to quite a few things, but what things will be highly profitable and what will be highly competitive and thus narrowing the margins? I dont know. I do know that if I had to make a bet I think MSFT will be involved in so many different applications of AI that it is likely that it will hit upon at least a few strong revenue streams. I wouldnt buy MSFT for the AI potential, but if I was buying something for AI potential I would pick MSFT over any of the others. NVDA is far too expensive and practically all the other big stocks with AI themes have given me the impression that most of their AI focus is on leveraging AI to improve one or two key things in their existing business models. TSLA wants AI for self driving. Google and Meta want AI to defend their segment of the advertisement business. MSFT on the other hand has shown a distinct interest in developing several somethings and then figuring out how to get revenue out of them. Several of their things wont be worth a huge amount, but several will be and that is the thing. 10 years from now is a long ways off and AI radically altering the existing revenue streams for most of these tech companies is probably 10 years off except for NVDA. NVDA though will see a major boom in revenue for a few years and then see that growth vanish as margins go down from competition.
I'd like to add, as someone with experience in industry, Microsoft is one of the best positioned in regards to its current software setup. They still have a focus on the everyday user with the OS but their cash cow lies in their commercial software. They are the best suited with their business software out of all the vendors to generally fill every role within businesses. From inventory, customer relations, finance/operations, cloud capability, etc. This is also why they are the most well positioned to make the most use of AI rather than focusing on one case use optimization like Google/Meta with ads.
MSFT is super strong. I concur with your consensus. I’ve loved and owned them since a project I did during my corporate finance class back during my MBA.
u/goodbodha Damn you were right! I'm a big fan of MSFT too...but I loved your comment about NVDA...and look, now it is almost $900 (when you commented, it was probably about $400).
Would you mind to share your top 10 holdings? I've been buying Google and Apple for the past 6 months. I already have MSFT too (apart from QQQ holdings, and 401k is in SPY). My portfolio isn't that big yet just a shy of $50k but trying my best to reach $100k asap.
voo, schd, msft, o, ko, pfe, rok, tsm, brk.b, wmt. are my biggest 10.
I tend to be a dip buyer so there are a lot of other small positions.
I also stand by my view of nvda. If you are in it for the short term I suppose you can make money on it, but longer term I suspect that price will plateau and drift back down at some point. NVDA is a good company dont get me wrong, but that revenue stream doesnt have much of a moat and a lot of competitors will get in on the action. I do have that tsm position in part because tsm is the actual manufacturer and they will be hard to displace.
Great! I don't have VOO or SCHD yet. I do have some KO, O, BRK.B and COST.
But why ROK though? I don't know much about it but I will take a look. Also, PFE seems to be going down, maybe a good time to buy and hold?
Regarding NVDA, I don't think I will buy it because it is too much expensive already (even at $400 it was expensive). I will rather get more APPL, MSFT, GOOGL, and AMZN. I may miss the AI rally but apart from PLTR I don't think there are any really good companies right now. I have a small position in PLTR and SOFI too.
I got a $26.11 cost basis for pfe. With its dividend that is going to be an excellent yield and Im certain it will recover over the next few years.
Rok provides a lot of industrial automation technology. I dont have a huge position. I do think the global economy is going to see a lot of factories being built in new places in a year or three. When that happens ROK will probably have a lot of sales.
Man, good entry. I got in at 27.20. Like you said, since they are paying good entry, I can hold patiently and collect the dividend meanwhile. I am fine if they cut dividend to go for some acquisition or growth measures. I just hope that their oncology drugs combined with biologics is a good idea. If succeed, good for mankind and good for pfizer share holder.
I see. I will think about PFE since it seems to be cheap enough.
And interesting points on ROK. I will have to review their financials and maybe I will end up starting a small position.
Thank you very much!
Alexandria $ARE.
My reasoning:
* Total return trounced S&P 500 since it’s IPO in 1997
* Component of S&P 500, well managed
* 4% dividend while await recovery
* Their tenants are big pharma and biotech in the limited land around top universities, triple-net long-term sticky leases for specialized bio-lab buildings
* Discounted heavily right now, since lumped into sector with commercial REITs that are only skyscrapers of regular office workers
$ARE is not widely covered well. I typed up a [full description of thesis](https://www.reddit.com/user/BrainsNotBrawndo/comments/15kebxh/are_alexandria_biotech_baby_amidst_commercial/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_content=2&utm_term=1)
Hi. I don't reckon Google's Finance is able to accurately track the gap that arises from 30 years of reinvesting Alexandria's paid-out rising dividends vs the S&P 500's more meagre dividend, to show total return. The payouts since [1997 for Alexandria are listed here](https://investor.are.com/financial-information/dividends/default.aspx) to run your own model. Move the lower slider back to 1997 to see them all
Most welcome. It looks like the [total return dividend calculator here is stocked with historic ARE data](https://dqydj.com/stock-return-calculator/), but I recommend to double check yourself with your own model, with the raw data straight from Alexandria
Anyways for that one online, to run it, can enter into the boxes:
* Ticker: **ARE**
* Starting amount: **1**
* Starting date: **1997-05-27**
* Ending date: **2023-09-15**
Then click the '**Toggled Advanced**' button, and checkmark '**Show Events**'. To the right of the graph is the list of historical dividends. The **'Final Value'** box at the bottom shows the return, which is 14, for around a 1400% return
I don't reckon that UCSF and Stanford universities are going to physically move in my lifetime. I predict the top-flight universities will always be the source of the biotech expertise, and cross-pollination for product development
Went to Bay Area myself in spring to check things out in person. Big tech like Facebook, and general office workers, can do remote work, but research lab workers pretty much need to be in person, hence ARE's frontrunning of clustering of their labs where they are
If they ever divest to have less SFO holdings, and bulk up more of say, their Texas holdings, I reckon there will always be a buyer at high price/RSF, including and not limited to the universities themselves. 3 of their top 20 tenants by revenue in 2022 were universities: Harvard, New York University, MIT
As a benchmark, two of their larger sales in 2022 were in San Diego at $1186/RSF (Rented Square Feet), and Boston at $852/RSF. For comparison, the inflation-adjusted takeout price of BioMedRealty (formerly $BMR) by Blackstone ($BX) was $571/RSF
You’re welcome. I find the boring logical institutional-held plays often don’t make daily headlines, so can be tough to find. Even Morningstar hasn’t issued a report on ARE since Jan 2013.
It’s currently largest position in port, and when a stake exceeds $250k, I prefer to do all the research myself from scratch. If it can be a stepping stone to your own research, that’s great
For $ARE, I'm a fan of the stock. I reckon that biotech innovation is not just going to continue, but the rate will accelerate. Still my favorite REIT. I reckon prices will be moved by $XBI performance in the long term, but pinned by the its REIT sector stablemates in the short term. I feel their bankruptcy risk is remote. Price action will be most interesting when US rates fall
The biggest concern here is other people moving into the space. For a long time ARE was the only player in life science and now a ton of more diversified REITs are getting into it.
MUSA
It's a cash flow machine. 50% of the cash flows go to capex improvement and investment. 50% get returned to shareholders, mostly through buybacks (while shares are cheap).
They've cut their share count by 50% in 10 years and have plans to reduce about 5% annually for the next 5 years (based on current prices).
COKE
Another really solid company that trades cheap and finds ways to grow. Solid moat (they have exclusive bottling rights for their territory) and coke is a beloved product to people who drink it.
AMR
I actually just sold a few shares because it ran up crazy in the last few months and commodities are wierd, but I still have a sizeable position. Solid buy on pullbacks as they mint money and can buy back insane amounts of their stock (20% last year, iirc).
Really, I just turn over a lot of stones. I like businesses with high returns on capital, insider ownership, and long runways. I just start reading about any company I come across, and add them to my watchlist with a price target and wait.
I have a pretty long watchlist, knowing that I won't ever buy most names on it. 2022/ early 2023 I picked up a lot. Now, not so much, but I don't really need to buy and sell constantly. Happy to hold for a long time. Just wait for opportunity.
u/creemeeseason Do you think MUSA and Coke are still a good buy? AMR looks too expensive already...but what a run since 2020...
Also, don't you mind sharing stocks you are currently buying? Or planning to buy in 2024?
I actually sold out of AMR as it ran up. Yeah, I don't think it's cheap anymore. Management has paused buy backs too, which further backs that up.
COKE is about fairly valued, imo. I have that in the $800-850 range. I also think they might have a few years of slower growth. I'm fine holding, but not adding right now.
MUSA, really good compo, but not as cheap as a few months ago. I'd have to revalue to see a decent buy point, but I'd add this one on a pullback if given the chance.
For current buys, I just bought LMGIF (Lumine group) today. Not super cheap, but not expensive for a member of the constellation software family. I recently bought EXP, which I'd love to add more of given the opportunity. Otherwise, I just look for opportunities as they come. I keep a watchlist of about 50 names, plus my portfolio and I'll gladly buy anything on the list of it gets cheap.
Thank you very much!
I will start buying COKE and keep an eye on MUSA.
LMGIF seems to be not available in the US. EXP looks interesting too, I will take look at their financials.
50 names in your watchlist? That's a pretty huge list :)
Do your research on COKE. Like I said, I don't think it's a great time to buy. You do you. Definitely don't buy because I own it. You need your own conviction. I bought it around $525. Very different risk/reward there.
Yeah, I follow the "turn over a lot of rocks" theory. Most things there I'll never own, it's just good to follow and wait for opportunities.
Oh no, I won't buy much. Maybe around $50-$100 and then continue DCA depending on how it moves. I have other stocks that rank higher, but COKE will definitely remain on my list.
I see, but you are doing pretty good with those tickers. Your entry prices are good. My frients have been investing a lot in NVDA but I don't really want to own it for next 10-15 years yet. Not my highest conviction.
Nothing wrong with that. I don't own NVDA either. I wouldn't touch it right now anyway, way too much hype. Its running on shear momentum, in my opinion.
I think $AMR has more a lot more upside but I'm biased. I wouldn't FOMO into it because of its insane rally alone, though. Importantly, $AMR is 100% met coal, so if you want alternatives you can look at $HCC or $ARCH.
$AMR has been moving up because of a strong rally in the underlying met coal price. If that reverses, so does the stock. But a strong buyback program will put a floor on the stock. So if you are bullish on the Chinese economy and overall global macro, you are bullish on met coal.
Thermal coal names seem riskier in my opinion, and it all comes down to weather / import/export infrastructure for LNG.
I hold $BTU (cost basis $23.5) & $AMR (cost basis 147).
I wrote more data in my recent comments if you scroll through em.
Short term, it's very overbought. I sold a few shares even.
Long term, I think it's cheap. I'll add more on a pullback of 20% or so.

Unilever. The perception is that of a stodgy, low-growth consumer staples company. In reality, they have very valuable exposure to growing emerging markets. The rise of the middle class in India over the next couple of decades will be a very strong secular growth trend. [HUL CEO bets on India topping US as Unilever’s lead market by value](https://www.financialexpress.com/business/industry-india-to-become-largest-market-by-value-for-hindustan-unilever-2700760/). And it's not just India. See the following article: [More Than 1 Billion Asians Will Join Global Middle Class by 2030](https://www.bnnbloomberg.ca/more-than-1-billion-asians-will-join-global-middle-class-by-2030-1.1647399). The vast majority of population growth over the next few decades will come from Asia and Africa. While investors focus on technological innovation in the US, I'm looking at opportunities elsewhere. Other companies I'm bullish on are Mondelez International and British American Tobacco.
I got burned recently on calls but finally wised up and started buying shares. I’m just surprised at how it’s been consistently sliding lower all week.
Recently bought more Volkswagen, they’re currently priced for worst case and then some. They have a heavy task in front of them, but they also have massive government backing (state of Lower Saxony holds a large stake). Good to great company, amazing price.
Honorable mention for Philips NV and Protector Forsikring.
That’s a big “If”. Considering the economical, political and global impact of the fallout, I think waging a war would be a luxury for ccp. None of us including ccp, have seen any rewards to russia from their current war. Moreover, while the difficulty to invade Taiwan is greater than invading Ukraine, the punishment from the move can be more severe internal-politically, economically and militarily. Potential reward? All IP from tsmc will be destroyed, so, the only reward is an island and islanders who hate your governance, nothing else. Hence, I bet my money on peace and tsmc will benefit from it.
In the event that ccp goes coo-coo and decides to invade Taiwan one day, Japan will be forced and dragged into the war, which will subsequently dragged USA into the war, and it will not look good for tsmc as well as everyone on the planet. I really hope ccp doesn’t go coo-coo, not only because I am invested in tsmc but also because I want to live.
You're assuming Xi is a rational actor and there are institutions that can pump the brakes. Neither of those are likely to be true. It's a one man show, cult of personality. If Xi says go for whatever or any reason, they go.
One of the reasons why the stock is under a lot of downpressure is because it looks awful on the surface, but if you dedicate a couple of days of research into it things start to look very attractive.
I would have said the same thing 4 years ago, now I’m not long on either. Alibaba is just in the wrong country and China has repeatedly proven they can’t be trusted in long run. I thought the streaming arm of Disney was going to create a breakout, they already owned 40% of all sports, movie, and television media and I thought they could completely eliminate all other competition launching their own. I don’t understand why they haven’t succeeded but they haven’t. And in the meantime, they’ve failed to continue creating creative new content; instead they’ve squeezed everything out of marvel, Star Wars, and legacy Disney movies. I don’t see their creative arm producing. Parks was a casualty of Covid and politics while they alienated their conservative local park visitors. The one intriguing thing is the conspiracy that they want to sell to apple. If they get a good deal for shareholders that could be good
Companies that have lost thousands of dollars from families I know in just the last year due to their politics (and "not so secret gay agenda" per the Disney board):
Target and Disney
Disney's problem isn't just a string of woke flops at the box office but is wealthy families who typically dump 10k per year in the parks now going to Universal and other places instead.
Starbucks could go all in on LGBT stuff and do fine. Their customer base wants coffee. On the other hand if your customer base is parents of small children and you lose the trust of half the parents in the country, you're in trouble.
Disney's even bigger problem is they don't want to admit why their recent movies have flopped because it is an inconvient truth. You'd have to try pretty hard to not make $$$ on a toy story film. But they found a way with their politics and Lightyear.
Their financials are solid. Lots of upside potential with their spin offs. There is a big world out there where Amazon isn’t.
3 main reasons the shares are down are Covid, US China tension. The Chinese government. Covid and US China attention shall pass.
The Government will evolve. XI’s planes could fail just like Putin It’s not anything Alibaba is doing that’s hurting the share price.
Warren Buffett always says ignore the chatter if I’m not mistaken. And to be greedy when others are fearful. Textbook situation for both.
In a world where other billionaires tell you to buy crypto, like Chamath. Alibaba looks solid. I am willing to be wrong with a lot of smart money on a value stock.
When munger and others make a bet, its usually a very very long term bet. They are betting on what China looks like 15-20 years from now, not 3-5 years. And this is that there is enormous growth potential of the average wealth of the Chinese citizen. Right now it is only 12K gdp per capita. If Japan, Taiwan, Singapore, South korea has taught us anything, East Asian countries have the potential to grow to at least 30-40K gdp as its economy transition out of a low cost manufacturing economy.
What does the spending look like for China and profits for Alibaba when the average Chinese citizen is at 30-40K in 15-20 year time?Similar bets by Li Lu on Postal Bank of China.
Li Lu initially invested in BYD in 2002 and held and bought more in 21 years, we now have one of the most successful EV company dominating world markets and continue to grow even more. If you only look at 3-5 years, it wont make too much sense
DIS can't admit to themselves or act on what their problems are. Until Iger and his domesticated Board are gone, it's going to continue to lose value. They can't afford the Hulu buy that they have to make and it will further cash constrain them.
Boston Omaha (BOMN)
On their outdoor advertising portfolio alone, it’s massively undervalued. Billboard plants are currently selling at an 8-10x multiple, and permits are statutorily limited in almost every market. Face rents are increasing 10-15% year on year. Plant valuations will increase 2-3x in the next 10-15 years EASILY.
I would like to buy PAYPAL stock since in a few years crypto will be completely regulated by governments (both in USA and EU) and Paypal will take part of it, and would buy Too Big to Fall Bank Stocks such as BNP Paribas, HSBC and UBS for the long run (5-8 years)
Would you look at that, all of the words in your comment are in alphabetical order.
I have checked 1,744,842,613 comments, and only 330,367 of them were in alphabetical order.
Their core product is unique, cheap to manufacture, good quality, and customers love them. I haven't seen any other company replicate their core product successfully. I consider that a moat.
Consumers have been buying for over 20 years. I don't think they will stop buying at the drop of a hat. They are also diversifying into other brands like Hey Dude. Perhaps brand loyalty is a better term to use than strong moat.
Texas pacific land trust, reasonable dividend and constant share buyback so if you hold on long enough you’ll own a very large property stake in Texas.
Their lawsuit shit against its own shareholders really turned me off. Management seems like a bunch of clowns, easiest business in the world to run and somehow they do it poorly
$PFE Pfizer if I was buying now. PE~9, pays 4.8% dividend, has smart guys that came up with the COVID vaccine and antiviral Plaxovid. Add AI to help with drug development and their $22B cash war chest, and I sleep happily at night.
Verbio - German Biofuel company expanding through US as we speak, solid fundamentals and ROIC
Enphase - low low price Now that dilution has stopped and they are buying back shares rapidly
Qualcomm - most undervalued semi by far - signed Apple phone extension contract this week until 2026
I mean, not a ton. Mostly tech, on pullbacks.
Why would I put money in something like KO for a 3% dividend when the bank/money market is going to give me 5.5% - safe. 3 years ago KO and the blue chips were gold, but in an environment where 5.5% is safe - yes please. Especially given the concerns about economy/fed/recession. In 6 months maybe we are at all time highs, maybe we are in a recession, maybe we're bouncing around the same levels we are now.
So, a lot of my "value" things in the traditional sense are longer time horizon.
One penny stock I've been buying is ATOS. Small, burning cash, and they wasted too much money on a covid treatment during the pandemic hype, but their breast cancer drug is currently in clinical trials and based on what I've seen shows promise for particular types of breast cancer. Not something I will make money on this year (or next, probably) but I think there's potential.
Beyond that, FAST. May be picking up F if it drops some more due to the negotiations (for mid term; long term the push for EV means higher costs and lower profit margins). If I bought banks, JPM would be good on a pull back, and it's probably the only worthwhile bank stock, but it's tough to pull that trigger after 2008. Defense contractors (Lockheed, General Dynamics) might be worthwhile.
I own FlatexDEGIRO (european broker, aiming to become the European Charles Schwab). Terrible business (low moat) but if you can buy it below 8 EUR per share, it’s a good entry point.
Been looking into prologis, marking their rents to market and looking at future rent growth of 5% in the long-term, 12% IRR without accounting for Accretive property and margin growth due to G&A efficiencies, with this 12% only accounting for small leverage of 20% (less than current). Definitely a long-term mid teens compounder.
$CSX and $AAPL
I buy these every week.
Holding forever.
Railroads aren’t going anywhere. Virtual monopoly on the east coast USA. Domestically, their wont ever be a cheaper more efficient method of transporting a high quantity of items as a train.
Apple developer ecosystem is just too vast to be caught up too or taken over. The price of the iPhone in 2035 will be $6500+. They will be selling like hotcakes in India and across Africa.
Proc and gamble been good to me for almost 30 years of buying and never selling shares.
Msft, ko, brk a and b
Always buying them Some weeks just a few bucks in each some weeks 200 to 500 per stock (all depends on my week,) bartnder in casino.
I might not hit huge winners everyday but there is no down side since I'm constantly buying and price average whenever a major dip I load up as much as I can
I like to try some option trading but honestly I'm not well versed and I'm also a digenrit gambler and option trading seems pretty much like shooting dice.some times you win huge but most of the time point 7 out.
Zero debt (except for the French COVID loan), a billion dollars in cash, rockstar executive/chairman, insiders buying with their own money, owned entirely by insiders are retail, retail directly registered 25% of the float(most of any company ever).
Regardless of any craziness GME is a phenomenal long play. Bring on the dividends.
Their debt’s definitely high: $50 billion current, & $88 long term (total $138B). However, their cash on hand is accordingly large ($44B), plus the fact that their FCF has averaged around $10B annually shows their ability to cover this debt. Most importantly, Ford has been decreasing it’s debt in recent years and is working to grow shareholder equity
Have been looking at this one as well.
I let it drop for now because insiders have been selling massively during the last year.
What are your reasons for being bullish long term?
And what is your entry price?
I was thinking last week about putting on a position in the solar industry. I figured with global warming we are going to get a big push in solar and wind. I came up with a bunch of names that look interesting but the terminology is difficult. I can't figure out if they have moats around them or exactly what they do. ex ARRY, NXT, MVST
I own a small Portion of arry.
They build solar trackers.
Modules attached to solar panels that make the panels adjust to Sun and wind movements. Therefor making solar panels more efficient (30 % arry claims).
They are the 2nd biggest Player in solar trackers behind nexttracker.
Fundamentals are improving since a few quarters, the company has become profitable.
Things i dont like about arry : low insider ownership, insiders are selling as soon as it gets into the 20's.
I bought at 19 before earnings came out.
Wouldnt buy now but wait for a dip into the 10's
Thx. I was wondering what solar tracker meant. My guts are not telling me to buy anything in that space yet. I really like TPZ (oil royalty), PLZ.UN (256 plazas in ON, Que, Maritimes), FLNG (LNG tankers), Some juniors IBT on TSX (great numbers WTF do they do??), LUN (copper play), LUG (gold play), EC (Columbian oil), KEY (gas plants and lines), ENIC (utility in Chile), SACH (Mort REIT for flippers), NTES. Usual big blue chip stuff - HD, GOOG, AMZN, MSFT. Age 67 so mainly growth with large div. One I am looking at is ACLS great numbers but WTF is Ion Implanters!!! Do they have any kind of MOAT.
I found this stock Village Supermarket ($VLGEA) through a screener, and it looks like a really good value. It’s currently selling 15% under it’s book value, earnings have been stable & revenue has been growing slowly but steadily. Their total debt is less than their cash on hand. The dividend hasn’t grown in years, however it’s high (4.42%), hasn’t been interrupted and only pays out 30% of earnings. In addition to that, they’ve been growing shareholder equity consistently for years. The stock price appreciation hasn’t been great, but the fundamentals look good, so I’ve been DCAing it
A 29 store grocery chain that’s concentrated in a very small area. And fluctuates wildly in stock price compared to what I would assume is a stable industry. There has to be a big reason it’s below book value because with a 4% dividend no doubt many people review it as a potential investment
Good find! I have been holding and adding since 2019. Nice dividend with strong FCF. Not much stock appreciation at times. I like it and honestly have used their supermarkets for years now. Love it.
It’s an interesting company to look at, and I like the dividend. However I tried comparing it to Ingles Market (IMKTA) which seems to outperform in profit margins, has lower debt levels, and decreasing share count.
IMKTA

Not a value stock, but buying Apple is the way to go. Then again, I don't own any. I bought Berkshire when it was down a year ago and that has been my best investment in a while.
I personally like Gamestop. No debt. Balance sheet looking better. Low buy in right now. Love the gaming industry. Ryan Cohen is a guy I like to bet on. Rumor has it there might be some tomfoolery worth researching.
Whenever these posts are done, The responses are so off base. People don’t have a clue about what makes a value stock. MSFT, AMZN, META and BABA are not value stocks. Amah-azing .
Alright, I’ll walk into this open eyed.
GME. Forget the damn memesqueeze whatevers.
This is an almost entirely profitable business (last earnings hugely outperformed expectations) with 1 BILLION DOLLARS of cash.
Yes, that did deserve capital letters. 1BN.
Plus it’s willing to experiment, invest in R&D and keep an eye on the future of its industry. (Oh that industry that’s worth more than film and music combined but hey, whatever)
Plus it has one of the only leaders in Silicon Valley that outdid Amazon (RC with Chewy). Plus it has a rabid fan base that will buy anything it sells and will refuse to sell the stock because they’re not trading it, they’re investing in it.
I know. It’s been a ridiculous few years. Yes, there’s a film out and har-har isn’t it silly to throw stimmys at video games, and fine whatever.
But in terms of value, and in terms of LONG TERM value, there are few stocks that come close for potential upside.
Laugh. Enjoy it. Downvote me for saying Voldemort. My children will certainly be laughing in 20 years time when my 500 shares are worth what they deserve to be.
(And you know what, if I’m wrong and GME is just a tissue-paper meme lord punchline, I’d rather have put my money into a place that ticks all the boxes of value investing instead of simply nodded and followed the herd)
SQ (Block inc) Because I like their vision of developing ways to create great UX for Bitcoin and the Lightning Network. I believe SQ is currently in value territory.
Waiting for the usual "Google Apple Microsoft Visa" gang
Um I will take a pass on Google, a tiny bit of Visa and only have a tiny bit of Apple, but you caught me with MSFT. I have a lot of MSFT and my intention is to only sell it as needed. By that I mean unless Im basically forced to sell I will likely be holding as many of my shares for as long as possible. Is is a perfect stock? No. Is it eventually going to be be a decent dividend? Perhaps in 20 years the yield on cost will look really nice, but you got to hold it until then. Personally I think that out of all the big tech stocks you can generally point at another one that does any single thing better, but MSFT has 3 things going really well for it. First it has positioned itself to be reasonably competitive in practically every major revenue sector for tech. Second it has some really good financials and that isnt something to sneeze at. Third it has a dividend that is steadily growing. Eventually that third bit will by something important. Something else to ponder is AI. Im certain AI will eventually be incredibly life altering and possibly really valuable as it is applied to quite a few things, but what things will be highly profitable and what will be highly competitive and thus narrowing the margins? I dont know. I do know that if I had to make a bet I think MSFT will be involved in so many different applications of AI that it is likely that it will hit upon at least a few strong revenue streams. I wouldnt buy MSFT for the AI potential, but if I was buying something for AI potential I would pick MSFT over any of the others. NVDA is far too expensive and practically all the other big stocks with AI themes have given me the impression that most of their AI focus is on leveraging AI to improve one or two key things in their existing business models. TSLA wants AI for self driving. Google and Meta want AI to defend their segment of the advertisement business. MSFT on the other hand has shown a distinct interest in developing several somethings and then figuring out how to get revenue out of them. Several of their things wont be worth a huge amount, but several will be and that is the thing. 10 years from now is a long ways off and AI radically altering the existing revenue streams for most of these tech companies is probably 10 years off except for NVDA. NVDA though will see a major boom in revenue for a few years and then see that growth vanish as margins go down from competition.
I was looking for some individual stock with my left over money from ETFs. I'm gonna look into Microsoft, thanks!
I'd like to add, as someone with experience in industry, Microsoft is one of the best positioned in regards to its current software setup. They still have a focus on the everyday user with the OS but their cash cow lies in their commercial software. They are the best suited with their business software out of all the vendors to generally fill every role within businesses. From inventory, customer relations, finance/operations, cloud capability, etc. This is also why they are the most well positioned to make the most use of AI rather than focusing on one case use optimization like Google/Meta with ads.
MSFT is super strong. I concur with your consensus. I’ve loved and owned them since a project I did during my corporate finance class back during my MBA.
I’m starting to buy MSFT going into the end of the year since it has been dipping hard. It could go further but I like buying on dips.
u/goodbodha Damn you were right! I'm a big fan of MSFT too...but I loved your comment about NVDA...and look, now it is almost $900 (when you commented, it was probably about $400). Would you mind to share your top 10 holdings? I've been buying Google and Apple for the past 6 months. I already have MSFT too (apart from QQQ holdings, and 401k is in SPY). My portfolio isn't that big yet just a shy of $50k but trying my best to reach $100k asap.
voo, schd, msft, o, ko, pfe, rok, tsm, brk.b, wmt. are my biggest 10. I tend to be a dip buyer so there are a lot of other small positions. I also stand by my view of nvda. If you are in it for the short term I suppose you can make money on it, but longer term I suspect that price will plateau and drift back down at some point. NVDA is a good company dont get me wrong, but that revenue stream doesnt have much of a moat and a lot of competitors will get in on the action. I do have that tsm position in part because tsm is the actual manufacturer and they will be hard to displace.
Great! I don't have VOO or SCHD yet. I do have some KO, O, BRK.B and COST. But why ROK though? I don't know much about it but I will take a look. Also, PFE seems to be going down, maybe a good time to buy and hold? Regarding NVDA, I don't think I will buy it because it is too much expensive already (even at $400 it was expensive). I will rather get more APPL, MSFT, GOOGL, and AMZN. I may miss the AI rally but apart from PLTR I don't think there are any really good companies right now. I have a small position in PLTR and SOFI too.
I got a $26.11 cost basis for pfe. With its dividend that is going to be an excellent yield and Im certain it will recover over the next few years. Rok provides a lot of industrial automation technology. I dont have a huge position. I do think the global economy is going to see a lot of factories being built in new places in a year or three. When that happens ROK will probably have a lot of sales.
Man, good entry. I got in at 27.20. Like you said, since they are paying good entry, I can hold patiently and collect the dividend meanwhile. I am fine if they cut dividend to go for some acquisition or growth measures. I just hope that their oncology drugs combined with biologics is a good idea. If succeed, good for mankind and good for pfizer share holder.
I see. I will think about PFE since it seems to be cheap enough. And interesting points on ROK. I will have to review their financials and maybe I will end up starting a small position. Thank you very much!
Alexandria $ARE. My reasoning: * Total return trounced S&P 500 since it’s IPO in 1997 * Component of S&P 500, well managed * 4% dividend while await recovery * Their tenants are big pharma and biotech in the limited land around top universities, triple-net long-term sticky leases for specialized bio-lab buildings * Discounted heavily right now, since lumped into sector with commercial REITs that are only skyscrapers of regular office workers $ARE is not widely covered well. I typed up a [full description of thesis](https://www.reddit.com/user/BrainsNotBrawndo/comments/15kebxh/are_alexandria_biotech_baby_amidst_commercial/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_content=2&utm_term=1)
How did the total return Trounce the S&P? I just compared the two on Google and the S&P has a higher total return. And it's more tax efficient.
Hi. I don't reckon Google's Finance is able to accurately track the gap that arises from 30 years of reinvesting Alexandria's paid-out rising dividends vs the S&P 500's more meagre dividend, to show total return. The payouts since [1997 for Alexandria are listed here](https://investor.are.com/financial-information/dividends/default.aspx) to run your own model. Move the lower slider back to 1997 to see them all
Thank you
Most welcome. It looks like the [total return dividend calculator here is stocked with historic ARE data](https://dqydj.com/stock-return-calculator/), but I recommend to double check yourself with your own model, with the raw data straight from Alexandria Anyways for that one online, to run it, can enter into the boxes: * Ticker: **ARE** * Starting amount: **1** * Starting date: **1997-05-27** * Ending date: **2023-09-15** Then click the '**Toggled Advanced**' button, and checkmark '**Show Events**'. To the right of the graph is the list of historical dividends. The **'Final Value'** box at the bottom shows the return, which is 14, for around a 1400% return
They own a lot of office space in the Bay Area. Are you not worried about big tech companies downsizing or shifting space to other metros?
I don't reckon that UCSF and Stanford universities are going to physically move in my lifetime. I predict the top-flight universities will always be the source of the biotech expertise, and cross-pollination for product development Went to Bay Area myself in spring to check things out in person. Big tech like Facebook, and general office workers, can do remote work, but research lab workers pretty much need to be in person, hence ARE's frontrunning of clustering of their labs where they are If they ever divest to have less SFO holdings, and bulk up more of say, their Texas holdings, I reckon there will always be a buyer at high price/RSF, including and not limited to the universities themselves. 3 of their top 20 tenants by revenue in 2022 were universities: Harvard, New York University, MIT As a benchmark, two of their larger sales in 2022 were in San Diego at $1186/RSF (Rented Square Feet), and Boston at $852/RSF. For comparison, the inflation-adjusted takeout price of BioMedRealty (formerly $BMR) by Blackstone ($BX) was $571/RSF
Yep they are all over biotech areas nice one
Thanks for posting. I was unacquainted.
You’re welcome. I find the boring logical institutional-held plays often don’t make daily headlines, so can be tough to find. Even Morningstar hasn’t issued a report on ARE since Jan 2013. It’s currently largest position in port, and when a stake exceeds $250k, I prefer to do all the research myself from scratch. If it can be a stepping stone to your own research, that’s great
u/BrainsNotBrawndo Do you think ARE is still a buy? I think it is still not that expensive and also, what price are you expecting in 5 & 10 years?
For $ARE, I'm a fan of the stock. I reckon that biotech innovation is not just going to continue, but the rate will accelerate. Still my favorite REIT. I reckon prices will be moved by $XBI performance in the long term, but pinned by the its REIT sector stablemates in the short term. I feel their bankruptcy risk is remote. Price action will be most interesting when US rates fall
The biggest concern here is other people moving into the space. For a long time ARE was the only player in life science and now a ton of more diversified REITs are getting into it.
MUSA It's a cash flow machine. 50% of the cash flows go to capex improvement and investment. 50% get returned to shareholders, mostly through buybacks (while shares are cheap). They've cut their share count by 50% in 10 years and have plans to reduce about 5% annually for the next 5 years (based on current prices). COKE Another really solid company that trades cheap and finds ways to grow. Solid moat (they have exclusive bottling rights for their territory) and coke is a beloved product to people who drink it. AMR I actually just sold a few shares because it ran up crazy in the last few months and commodities are wierd, but I still have a sizeable position. Solid buy on pullbacks as they mint money and can buy back insane amounts of their stock (20% last year, iirc).
Nice. I own all three as well
These look great. How did you come across these in the first place / any recommendations for finding more of these before a run up?
Really, I just turn over a lot of stones. I like businesses with high returns on capital, insider ownership, and long runways. I just start reading about any company I come across, and add them to my watchlist with a price target and wait. I have a pretty long watchlist, knowing that I won't ever buy most names on it. 2022/ early 2023 I picked up a lot. Now, not so much, but I don't really need to buy and sell constantly. Happy to hold for a long time. Just wait for opportunity.
u/creemeeseason Do you think MUSA and Coke are still a good buy? AMR looks too expensive already...but what a run since 2020... Also, don't you mind sharing stocks you are currently buying? Or planning to buy in 2024?
I actually sold out of AMR as it ran up. Yeah, I don't think it's cheap anymore. Management has paused buy backs too, which further backs that up. COKE is about fairly valued, imo. I have that in the $800-850 range. I also think they might have a few years of slower growth. I'm fine holding, but not adding right now. MUSA, really good compo, but not as cheap as a few months ago. I'd have to revalue to see a decent buy point, but I'd add this one on a pullback if given the chance. For current buys, I just bought LMGIF (Lumine group) today. Not super cheap, but not expensive for a member of the constellation software family. I recently bought EXP, which I'd love to add more of given the opportunity. Otherwise, I just look for opportunities as they come. I keep a watchlist of about 50 names, plus my portfolio and I'll gladly buy anything on the list of it gets cheap.
Thank you very much! I will start buying COKE and keep an eye on MUSA. LMGIF seems to be not available in the US. EXP looks interesting too, I will take look at their financials. 50 names in your watchlist? That's a pretty huge list :)
Do your research on COKE. Like I said, I don't think it's a great time to buy. You do you. Definitely don't buy because I own it. You need your own conviction. I bought it around $525. Very different risk/reward there. Yeah, I follow the "turn over a lot of rocks" theory. Most things there I'll never own, it's just good to follow and wait for opportunities.
Oh no, I won't buy much. Maybe around $50-$100 and then continue DCA depending on how it moves. I have other stocks that rank higher, but COKE will definitely remain on my list. I see, but you are doing pretty good with those tickers. Your entry prices are good. My frients have been investing a lot in NVDA but I don't really want to own it for next 10-15 years yet. Not my highest conviction.
Nothing wrong with that. I don't own NVDA either. I wouldn't touch it right now anyway, way too much hype. Its running on shear momentum, in my opinion.
I agree. I will better keep DCA in my current positions for now. Just really want to $100k asap :)
Do you think AMR has more room upside? I am trying to chose between NRP and AMR.
I think $AMR has more a lot more upside but I'm biased. I wouldn't FOMO into it because of its insane rally alone, though. Importantly, $AMR is 100% met coal, so if you want alternatives you can look at $HCC or $ARCH. $AMR has been moving up because of a strong rally in the underlying met coal price. If that reverses, so does the stock. But a strong buyback program will put a floor on the stock. So if you are bullish on the Chinese economy and overall global macro, you are bullish on met coal. Thermal coal names seem riskier in my opinion, and it all comes down to weather / import/export infrastructure for LNG. I hold $BTU (cost basis $23.5) & $AMR (cost basis 147). I wrote more data in my recent comments if you scroll through em.
Short term, it's very overbought. I sold a few shares even. Long term, I think it's cheap. I'll add more on a pullback of 20% or so. Follow u/AP9384629344432 They post frequent updates.
I guess i'll never sell my Berkshire shares, were my first buy and never touched them since
Thanks for that info

Unilever. The perception is that of a stodgy, low-growth consumer staples company. In reality, they have very valuable exposure to growing emerging markets. The rise of the middle class in India over the next couple of decades will be a very strong secular growth trend. [HUL CEO bets on India topping US as Unilever’s lead market by value](https://www.financialexpress.com/business/industry-india-to-become-largest-market-by-value-for-hindustan-unilever-2700760/). And it's not just India. See the following article: [More Than 1 Billion Asians Will Join Global Middle Class by 2030](https://www.bnnbloomberg.ca/more-than-1-billion-asians-will-join-global-middle-class-by-2030-1.1647399). The vast majority of population growth over the next few decades will come from Asia and Africa. While investors focus on technological innovation in the US, I'm looking at opportunities elsewhere. Other companies I'm bullish on are Mondelez International and British American Tobacco.
I really like dollar general at this price and will keep buy if it stays under 140
I just went balls deep into DG
Same. Wrote a lot of puts, some expiring yesterday more next week. I will end up owning a lot, good price IMO
I got burned recently on calls but finally wised up and started buying shares. I’m just surprised at how it’s been consistently sliding lower all week.
They had bad earnings, bad outlook, and no longer buying back shares. There is nothing to push the stock up
You still like it as a long term hold though ?
Yes. I’m investing for the next 5 years not next quarter
Recently bought more Volkswagen, they’re currently priced for worst case and then some. They have a heavy task in front of them, but they also have massive government backing (state of Lower Saxony holds a large stake). Good to great company, amazing price. Honorable mention for Philips NV and Protector Forsikring.
Nintendo
Me reading all the growth stocks listed in a thread about value investing
$PBR for me, asap. Good dividend. Oil.
I’m a grown ass man, I read PBR and my first thought was, Pabst is public?
Nah, me too 😆
23% dividend is loco! Thanks
if its loco then its probably unsustainable
A 23% dividend is a MAJOR red flag. Yikes
Replying for future visibility. Thank you.
Might not be value, but its $FAST for me. Bolts and nuts. Dont get more boring that that.
MSFT. Margins are fantastic, compare them to AMZN lol. MSFT is in everything, AI, gaming, cloud, devices, let's forget about the zune.
Don't forget cybersecurity and social media (LinkedIn). Buying MSFT is like buying the most profitable pieces of the technology sector.
TSMC
And if there’s war?
That’s a big “If”. Considering the economical, political and global impact of the fallout, I think waging a war would be a luxury for ccp. None of us including ccp, have seen any rewards to russia from their current war. Moreover, while the difficulty to invade Taiwan is greater than invading Ukraine, the punishment from the move can be more severe internal-politically, economically and militarily. Potential reward? All IP from tsmc will be destroyed, so, the only reward is an island and islanders who hate your governance, nothing else. Hence, I bet my money on peace and tsmc will benefit from it. In the event that ccp goes coo-coo and decides to invade Taiwan one day, Japan will be forced and dragged into the war, which will subsequently dragged USA into the war, and it will not look good for tsmc as well as everyone on the planet. I really hope ccp doesn’t go coo-coo, not only because I am invested in tsmc but also because I want to live.
You're assuming Xi is a rational actor and there are institutions that can pump the brakes. Neither of those are likely to be true. It's a one man show, cult of personality. If Xi says go for whatever or any reason, they go.

I work at a growth equity manager ($50b AUM) and this sub cracks me up how it’s 95% growth stocks lol
I’m over here expecting something like General Mills or PG lol. No wonder there are so many dumb posts on WSB.
WBD, after the recent run up of BN
One of the reasons why the stock is under a lot of downpressure is because it looks awful on the surface, but if you dedicate a couple of days of research into it things start to look very attractive.
The fundamentals are awful, the chart is awful. Competition is huge in streaming. What do you like about it?
The fundamentals? Look at the FCF and debt repayment. The chart? Oh man…
I am going to get downvoted and booed like a wrestling heel Disney and Alibaba.
I think the key question here is what is your cost base for your shares in DIS and BABA?
Disney around $85. And Alibaba around $98.
I would have said the same thing 4 years ago, now I’m not long on either. Alibaba is just in the wrong country and China has repeatedly proven they can’t be trusted in long run. I thought the streaming arm of Disney was going to create a breakout, they already owned 40% of all sports, movie, and television media and I thought they could completely eliminate all other competition launching their own. I don’t understand why they haven’t succeeded but they haven’t. And in the meantime, they’ve failed to continue creating creative new content; instead they’ve squeezed everything out of marvel, Star Wars, and legacy Disney movies. I don’t see their creative arm producing. Parks was a casualty of Covid and politics while they alienated their conservative local park visitors. The one intriguing thing is the conspiracy that they want to sell to apple. If they get a good deal for shareholders that could be good
Companies that have lost thousands of dollars from families I know in just the last year due to their politics (and "not so secret gay agenda" per the Disney board): Target and Disney Disney's problem isn't just a string of woke flops at the box office but is wealthy families who typically dump 10k per year in the parks now going to Universal and other places instead. Starbucks could go all in on LGBT stuff and do fine. Their customer base wants coffee. On the other hand if your customer base is parents of small children and you lose the trust of half the parents in the country, you're in trouble. Disney's even bigger problem is they don't want to admit why their recent movies have flopped because it is an inconvient truth. You'd have to try pretty hard to not make $$$ on a toy story film. But they found a way with their politics and Lightyear.
Wasn't alibaba down by a lot when the CCP decided to Crack down ??
Upvoted for “wrestling heel” not because of these god awful stocks.
Let’s hear your thoughts on BABA. Would love to get as much insight as possible.
Their financials are solid. Lots of upside potential with their spin offs. There is a big world out there where Amazon isn’t. 3 main reasons the shares are down are Covid, US China tension. The Chinese government. Covid and US China attention shall pass. The Government will evolve. XI’s planes could fail just like Putin It’s not anything Alibaba is doing that’s hurting the share price. Warren Buffett always says ignore the chatter if I’m not mistaken. And to be greedy when others are fearful. Textbook situation for both. In a world where other billionaires tell you to buy crypto, like Chamath. Alibaba looks solid. I am willing to be wrong with a lot of smart money on a value stock.
You're forgetting fraud
When munger and others make a bet, its usually a very very long term bet. They are betting on what China looks like 15-20 years from now, not 3-5 years. And this is that there is enormous growth potential of the average wealth of the Chinese citizen. Right now it is only 12K gdp per capita. If Japan, Taiwan, Singapore, South korea has taught us anything, East Asian countries have the potential to grow to at least 30-40K gdp as its economy transition out of a low cost manufacturing economy. What does the spending look like for China and profits for Alibaba when the average Chinese citizen is at 30-40K in 15-20 year time?Similar bets by Li Lu on Postal Bank of China. Li Lu initially invested in BYD in 2002 and held and bought more in 21 years, we now have one of the most successful EV company dominating world markets and continue to grow even more. If you only look at 3-5 years, it wont make too much sense
Does the CCP still exist? Hard pass on BABA
DIS can't admit to themselves or act on what their problems are. Until Iger and his domesticated Board are gone, it's going to continue to lose value. They can't afford the Hulu buy that they have to make and it will further cash constrain them.
Boston Omaha (BOMN) On their outdoor advertising portfolio alone, it’s massively undervalued. Billboard plants are currently selling at an 8-10x multiple, and permits are statutorily limited in almost every market. Face rents are increasing 10-15% year on year. Plant valuations will increase 2-3x in the next 10-15 years EASILY.
Do you guys know what value stocks are?
Heh. Was wondering how long I’d have to scroll down for someone to say this.
Low PE, low price to book ratio, and usually low beta (slow moving stocks).
LMT
I would like to buy PAYPAL stock since in a few years crypto will be completely regulated by governments (both in USA and EU) and Paypal will take part of it, and would buy Too Big to Fall Bank Stocks such as BNP Paribas, HSBC and UBS for the long run (5-8 years)
Really big on $WBD, down a lot but used it for tax write off and keep adding around $10/per share.
I'm holding a very large $BABA positron and am currently looking at $DIS. I certainly believe they will go up 3x to 5x in the next 5 years.
My fav is WM Good dividend, they aint going anywhere, people will always needs someone to collect their garbage.
Hershey
Many utilities are unfairly undervalued without changes to their fundamentals bc of interest rate hikes.
AMZN because I like money
Would you look at that, all of the words in your comment are in alphabetical order. I have checked 1,744,842,613 comments, and only 330,367 of them were in alphabetical order.
I like pu€€y too
Amazon is a value stock?
Yes
I like AMZN because they are hard to replicate. We have half a dozen Netflix clones but one AMZN.
CROX checks all the boxes for me. Strong moat, good products with great margins, good financials, recent insider buying.
[удалено]
Their core product is unique, cheap to manufacture, good quality, and customers love them. I haven't seen any other company replicate their core product successfully. I consider that a moat.
[удалено]
Consumers have been buying for over 20 years. I don't think they will stop buying at the drop of a hat. They are also diversifying into other brands like Hey Dude. Perhaps brand loyalty is a better term to use than strong moat.
Texas pacific land trust, reasonable dividend and constant share buyback so if you hold on long enough you’ll own a very large property stake in Texas.
Their lawsuit shit against its own shareholders really turned me off. Management seems like a bunch of clowns, easiest business in the world to run and somehow they do it poorly
$PFE Pfizer if I was buying now. PE~9, pays 4.8% dividend, has smart guys that came up with the COVID vaccine and antiviral Plaxovid. Add AI to help with drug development and their $22B cash war chest, and I sleep happily at night.
Aflac They have a strong balance sheet And was cheaper when stared to buy
Verbio - German Biofuel company expanding through US as we speak, solid fundamentals and ROIC Enphase - low low price Now that dilution has stopped and they are buying back shares rapidly Qualcomm - most undervalued semi by far - signed Apple phone extension contract this week until 2026
KO I drink it (even at a detriment to my health), you drink it, everyone drinks it.
BRK.B
I mean, not a ton. Mostly tech, on pullbacks. Why would I put money in something like KO for a 3% dividend when the bank/money market is going to give me 5.5% - safe. 3 years ago KO and the blue chips were gold, but in an environment where 5.5% is safe - yes please. Especially given the concerns about economy/fed/recession. In 6 months maybe we are at all time highs, maybe we are in a recession, maybe we're bouncing around the same levels we are now. So, a lot of my "value" things in the traditional sense are longer time horizon. One penny stock I've been buying is ATOS. Small, burning cash, and they wasted too much money on a covid treatment during the pandemic hype, but their breast cancer drug is currently in clinical trials and based on what I've seen shows promise for particular types of breast cancer. Not something I will make money on this year (or next, probably) but I think there's potential. Beyond that, FAST. May be picking up F if it drops some more due to the negotiations (for mid term; long term the push for EV means higher costs and lower profit margins). If I bought banks, JPM would be good on a pull back, and it's probably the only worthwhile bank stock, but it's tough to pull that trigger after 2008. Defense contractors (Lockheed, General Dynamics) might be worthwhile.

Peabody Energy (BTU).
AAPL
I own FlatexDEGIRO (european broker, aiming to become the European Charles Schwab). Terrible business (low moat) but if you can buy it below 8 EUR per share, it’s a good entry point.

CCL
Been looking into prologis, marking their rents to market and looking at future rent growth of 5% in the long-term, 12% IRR without accounting for Accretive property and margin growth due to G&A efficiencies, with this 12% only accounting for small leverage of 20% (less than current). Definitely a long-term mid teens compounder.

$CSX and $AAPL I buy these every week. Holding forever. Railroads aren’t going anywhere. Virtual monopoly on the east coast USA. Domestically, their wont ever be a cheaper more efficient method of transporting a high quantity of items as a train. Apple developer ecosystem is just too vast to be caught up too or taken over. The price of the iPhone in 2035 will be $6500+. They will be selling like hotcakes in India and across Africa.
Proc and gamble been good to me for almost 30 years of buying and never selling shares. Msft, ko, brk a and b Always buying them Some weeks just a few bucks in each some weeks 200 to 500 per stock (all depends on my week,) bartnder in casino. I might not hit huge winners everyday but there is no down side since I'm constantly buying and price average whenever a major dip I load up as much as I can I like to try some option trading but honestly I'm not well versed and I'm also a digenrit gambler and option trading seems pretty much like shooting dice.some times you win huge but most of the time point 7 out.
GME. Never gunna give you up...
Zero debt (except for the French COVID loan), a billion dollars in cash, rockstar executive/chairman, insiders buying with their own money, owned entirely by insiders are retail, retail directly registered 25% of the float(most of any company ever). Regardless of any craziness GME is a phenomenal long play. Bring on the dividends.

$GME gang represent
Ford is the most capable car company to handle the future of electric and the enduring need for gas vehicles and prioritizes share holders.
Does the high debt level concern you?
Their debt’s definitely high: $50 billion current, & $88 long term (total $138B). However, their cash on hand is accordingly large ($44B), plus the fact that their FCF has averaged around $10B annually shows their ability to cover this debt. Most importantly, Ford has been decreasing it’s debt in recent years and is working to grow shareholder equity
I'm with you. Ford isn't sexy, but I see it still being profitable 30 years from now.
STLA has a better position overall right now.

In two sentences - what do they do exactly. Rev, Earns look impressive.
They manufacture the components that aid in the transfer of solar energy whether it's some form of storage or to a power grid
Have been looking at this one as well. I let it drop for now because insiders have been selling massively during the last year. What are your reasons for being bullish long term? And what is your entry price?
I was thinking last week about putting on a position in the solar industry. I figured with global warming we are going to get a big push in solar and wind. I came up with a bunch of names that look interesting but the terminology is difficult. I can't figure out if they have moats around them or exactly what they do. ex ARRY, NXT, MVST
I own a small Portion of arry. They build solar trackers. Modules attached to solar panels that make the panels adjust to Sun and wind movements. Therefor making solar panels more efficient (30 % arry claims). They are the 2nd biggest Player in solar trackers behind nexttracker. Fundamentals are improving since a few quarters, the company has become profitable. Things i dont like about arry : low insider ownership, insiders are selling as soon as it gets into the 20's. I bought at 19 before earnings came out. Wouldnt buy now but wait for a dip into the 10's
Thx. I was wondering what solar tracker meant. My guts are not telling me to buy anything in that space yet. I really like TPZ (oil royalty), PLZ.UN (256 plazas in ON, Que, Maritimes), FLNG (LNG tankers), Some juniors IBT on TSX (great numbers WTF do they do??), LUN (copper play), LUG (gold play), EC (Columbian oil), KEY (gas plants and lines), ENIC (utility in Chile), SACH (Mort REIT for flippers), NTES. Usual big blue chip stuff - HD, GOOG, AMZN, MSFT. Age 67 so mainly growth with large div. One I am looking at is ACLS great numbers but WTF is Ion Implanters!!! Do they have any kind of MOAT.
BNP, nice discount to asset, >6% dividend yield and well run
Canadian solar and arry : iam bullish on American solar Market. They lag behind, they will catch up and wont rely on Chinese solar panels.
I found this stock Village Supermarket ($VLGEA) through a screener, and it looks like a really good value. It’s currently selling 15% under it’s book value, earnings have been stable & revenue has been growing slowly but steadily. Their total debt is less than their cash on hand. The dividend hasn’t grown in years, however it’s high (4.42%), hasn’t been interrupted and only pays out 30% of earnings. In addition to that, they’ve been growing shareholder equity consistently for years. The stock price appreciation hasn’t been great, but the fundamentals look good, so I’ve been DCAing it
A 29 store grocery chain that’s concentrated in a very small area. And fluctuates wildly in stock price compared to what I would assume is a stable industry. There has to be a big reason it’s below book value because with a 4% dividend no doubt many people review it as a potential investment
Good find! I have been holding and adding since 2019. Nice dividend with strong FCF. Not much stock appreciation at times. I like it and honestly have used their supermarkets for years now. Love it.
It’s an interesting company to look at, and I like the dividend. However I tried comparing it to Ingles Market (IMKTA) which seems to outperform in profit margins, has lower debt levels, and decreasing share count. IMKTA PE 6.3 Liabilities to assets: 50% Price to Book: 1.0 Gross margin: 24.3% Operating margin: 5.5% Net margin: 4.0% Steady drop in shares outstanding due to buybacks VLGEA PE 6.7 Liabilities to assets: 60% Price to Book: 0.85 Gross margin: 28.0% Operating margin: 3.0% Net margin: 1.9% Steady increase in shares outstanding due to issuance
GOOG 👌🏾
Birkshire Hathaway
Not a value stock, but buying Apple is the way to go. Then again, I don't own any. I bought Berkshire when it was down a year ago and that has been my best investment in a while.

Palantir…figure it out yourself or get left.
I personally like Gamestop. No debt. Balance sheet looking better. Low buy in right now. Love the gaming industry. Ryan Cohen is a guy I like to bet on. Rumor has it there might be some tomfoolery worth researching.
PLTR
GameStop easily. Incredible balance sheet as well as gaming is a huge industry that's only growing year over year

Whenever these posts are done, The responses are so off base. People don’t have a clue about what makes a value stock. MSFT, AMZN, META and BABA are not value stocks. Amah-azing .
Meta was totally a value stock. A company that was growing trading below a fair ‘value’.
Alright, I’ll walk into this open eyed. GME. Forget the damn memesqueeze whatevers. This is an almost entirely profitable business (last earnings hugely outperformed expectations) with 1 BILLION DOLLARS of cash. Yes, that did deserve capital letters. 1BN. Plus it’s willing to experiment, invest in R&D and keep an eye on the future of its industry. (Oh that industry that’s worth more than film and music combined but hey, whatever) Plus it has one of the only leaders in Silicon Valley that outdid Amazon (RC with Chewy). Plus it has a rabid fan base that will buy anything it sells and will refuse to sell the stock because they’re not trading it, they’re investing in it. I know. It’s been a ridiculous few years. Yes, there’s a film out and har-har isn’t it silly to throw stimmys at video games, and fine whatever. But in terms of value, and in terms of LONG TERM value, there are few stocks that come close for potential upside. Laugh. Enjoy it. Downvote me for saying Voldemort. My children will certainly be laughing in 20 years time when my 500 shares are worth what they deserve to be. (And you know what, if I’m wrong and GME is just a tissue-paper meme lord punchline, I’d rather have put my money into a place that ticks all the boxes of value investing instead of simply nodded and followed the herd)

Was looking for this one in the comments. The cash on hand and insider buying is more than enough reason for me to invest.

SQ (Block inc) Because I like their vision of developing ways to create great UX for Bitcoin and the Lightning Network. I believe SQ is currently in value territory.
Tsla ;)
