Stock Market is the bottom in?

Wait. What did I miss?


Yesterday SOFI crushed their earnings. Then a couple hours later the CEO was on CNBC and said they would not be diluting. A couple hours after that they did an offering and raised $1.5 billion and diluted the stock about 7% from what I read. The finwits on Twitter think they are gonna buy some type of crypto currency company. They had $2.4 billion in cash on hand. They did not need to dilute and more importantly a lot of investors feel like they were lied to.
 
I bought a bunch of Microsoft a couple years ago in my SEP and bought a few more shares again this year. MFST has been pretty care free to own. I will keep adding on healthy pullbacks. Its made me a lot of paper gains so far. They just reported earnings and it must have been good. Investing in big tech is easily one of the best moves I have ever made. Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Google, MAGS etf, and a couple other Vanguard funds.

I also forgot to buy my 100 way out of the money calls on TLT before market close. I'm exposed until the market opens tomorrow.
 
Losing my ass in the markets today. Been a long time since I've seen so much RED.

The timing isn’t good. Fed stays put them Labor says 80% of the jobs didn’t get created as they were first reported.

And don't forget about uncertainty with tariffs.
 
Buying opportunity. Never let a good crisis go to waste. 🤔
 
I’ve got my eyes on some Amazon if it peels off another $15 or so.

I actually hate to admit this…… Amazon was the first stock I ever bought as 24 or something smart ass in the 90’s. But before the dot-com bubble burst. Think I put down $200 on it. It was a friggin on line book store back then for God sakes.

When it split for the third time I had enough to buy a duck boat with a good outboard. Don’t know where that boat is now but for the love of God I wish I still had those original stocks…🤪

I've owned Amazon for a long time. The shares I own are worth 6.5 x what was paid. Sold off a bunch over time to keep balanced. Still one of my biggest hodings. Been a good ride. Still, I got enough to keep me happy. Ride the winners....sell the losers. Done allot of wrong moves too. 20/20 hindsight is not worth much. Just saying.
 
Just did an AI search on the best stock to have owned in the past decade......some names here have a long run ahead....IMO....

AI Overview


In general, identifying the "best" stocks to have owned in the last decade (roughly 2015-2025) requires looking at those that delivered exceptional returns and demonstrated strong growth over a sustained period
.
While past performance is not a guarantee of future results, here are some of the stocks that have been highlighted by various sources as among the best performing during that timeframe
  • Nvidia (NVDA): Considered by some to be the absolute king of stock performance over the last decade, particularly thanks to its dominance in AI chips, gaming, and data center acceleration. Some estimates suggest a 10-year annualized return of 70.1 percent.
  • Advanced Micro Devices (AMD): Another strong performer in the semiconductor industry, also benefiting significantly from the rise of AI. They have a 10-year annualized return of 42.2 percent.
  • Camtek (CAMT): A smaller, Israeli-based company in the semiconductor industry with a strong 10-year track record, with a 10-year annualized return of 37.3 percent.
  • Fair Isaac (FICO): Known for its analytics software and tools, particularly its FICO score, with compound annual growth rates between 40% and 75%.
  • Tesla (TSLA): The electric vehicle maker saw significant growth over the decade, though its performance has been more volatile than some others on the list. A $10,000 investment in Tesla 10 years ago is now worth $290,000.
Additional companies showing strong performance
  • Technology giants: Apple (AAPL), Amazon (AMZN), Alphabet (GOOGL) (Google's parent company), Microsoft (MSFT), and Meta Platforms (META) have also delivered strong returns over the past decade, due to their size, market dominance and growth potential. They are also often referred to as a part of the "Magnificent 7" stocks.
  • Other notable mentions: Celsius Holdings (CELH), Axon Enterprise (AXON), Texas Pacific Land Trust (TPL), Old Dominion Freight Line (ODFL), and Intuitive Surgical (ISRG) have also posted significant long-term returns.
In conclusion, the best-performing stocks of the last decade demonstrate a trend towards growth-oriented companies, especially those in the technology sector, that have capitalized on emerging trends like AI and e-commerce. However, it's crucial to remember that past success doesn't guarantee future performance, and thorough research is always recommended before making investment decisions.
 
^ I've owned most of the magnificent 7 over this time. Kudo's to my planner....I just sit back and watch the fireworks. Blessed.
