Upstart is a deeply undervalued credit AI infrastructure platform with immense profitable revenue growth
Upstart is a fully automated AI company with immensely deep value and profitable revenue growth I last made an AMD post 3 months ago before it went parabolic in ValueInvesting, highlighting that AMD has a .7 peg ratio, stating AMD was the best value and growth stock, since then AMD …
The machine that makes chips possible now has its own ETF
The export control angle on $EUV doesn't get talked about enough. ASML was already restricted from selling advanced EUV machines to China. That makes their technology even more strategically valuable for western-aligned fabs. US, European, and Japanese fab expansions all run through ASML. Structural tailwind that isn't going away. Long …
Digital banking is still growing globally - $KYC thesis check
Why I'm staying in $KYC even through the underperformance. The companies in this ETF have sticky B2B revenue, high switching costs, and exposure to the global digitization of banking. None of that has changed. What's changed is market sentiment toward fintech. That's cyclical. The business fundamentals are not. Holding.
Why I prefer $BREW over individual consumer staples stocks
Starbucks has had its issues but the coffee category overall keeps growing globally. [$BREW]() is broader than any single name - it's the whole coffee and energy drink ecosystem. International expansion is still a major growth driver, especially in emerging markets where per-capita coffee consumption is growing fast. Added as …
Grid stability and battery storage - $WATS captures both themes
$WATS has been doing well and I think most people still don't appreciate how big the battery storage market is getting. The demand is coming from multiple directions simultaneously: renewable integration, data center backup, grid stability, behind-the-meter commercial storage. This is a multi-year structural story, not a momentum trade.
$EUV has been quietly moving up - does anyone follow this one?
Quick breakdown of why I'm still in $EUV. Lithography is the actual chokepoint in semiconductor manufacturing. ASML dominates it. The AI buildout is driving massive fab expansion. Intel, TSMC, Samsung all need EUV equipment. There is a multi-year backlog.
I've never seen so much greed before, is it possible to capitalize on it?
Almost everyone ik who was a standard investor is foaming at the mouth over specific stock tickers, options, leverage, etc. Feels like not even a few months ago everyone was trying to buy gold/crypto to offset the "impending crash". back then I was buying as much as I could under …
A Great AI Picks & Shovels Play: Photronics (PLAB)
Hey guys - so I've seen some discussions on Photronics in the past but wanted to bring this back up again, especially with the focus on AI/Semis/Data Centers. I believe that PLAB is a great picks & shovel play in the industry, and with them being the only major player …
Copy trading may be less about returns and more about incentive alignment
I usually see copy trading discussed as a performance question. Does the trader make money? What is the return? What is the win rate? But I think the bigger issue is incentive alignment. If someone is being copied by many users, what are they actually incentivized to do? Preserve capital …
$QMY - Growth & Technology 10% Buffer - sharing why I'm still holding
Using $QMY as a middle ground between cash and full equity exposure to QQQ. The tradeoff is a cap on upside in exchange for downside protection. In a volatile market that trade feels fair. The expense ratio is reasonable for what you get structurally. Works best when you buy at …
