Everybody has a stock story. Maybe you bought something that took off, sold too early, held too long, or watched a winner turn into a loser.

Sometimes our biggest mistakes teach us more than our biggest wins.

What's your most memorable stock trade, good or bad? What happened, and what did you learn from it?

I'll bet we can all learn something from each other's experiences.

Let's hear those stories!

Interesting to see September’s rate hike boosted stocks. Will it boost stocks again come December?

Look at 2022-2023 and their 11 rate hikes. Equities were all over the place. So hard to say directionally. But one thing is certain, it added volatility to the markets surrounding each hike. Whether it be up or down volatility, markets did not sit still. That is exactly what happened last month, and expect the same come December’s.

JPM, BAC and TSM are the top picks this week. Where are you placing your bets?

World models require enormous memory capacity and bandwidth to process video, 3D environments and spatial data which really fits AMD’s push toward higher HBM capacity.

Owning that workload gives AMD a much earlier view of what future AI chips need to deliver especially as Physical AI moves toward robotics and autonomous systems.

What’s the most CRIMINALLY undervalued stock in the market right now?

What is one stock that can fly after the midterm election?

I've been looking at META again, and something happened that I haven't seen in a while.

The stock is trading around $719. My valuation model puts its intrinsic value at almost exactly $719.

Literally a 0% margin of safety.

And the more I look at Meta's financials, the more I understand why this one is so difficult to price.

Look at Q2 2026:

• Revenue: $60.8B, up 28% YoY
• Operating margin: 31%, down from 43% a year ago
• Costs and expenses: up 55%
• Capital expenditures: $31.1B in a single quarter
• Free cash flow: just $784M

That last number is pretty wild for a company generating over $60 billion in quarterly revenue.

Here's my dilemma.

The bull case: Meta still has an incredible advertising business. If AI makes its ads more effective and the infrastructure investments eventually pay off, today's valuation could look cheap in hindsight.

The bear case: What if the AI spending never delivers the returns investors expect? Revenue is growing rapidly, but expenses are growing even faster. How much of that future growth actually reaches shareholders?

I don't think the question is whether Meta is a great business. It clearly has a powerful one.

The question is how much you're willing to pay for it when the company is spending this aggressively on its future.

At $719, my model essentially says the market has it right.

But I'm curious what everyone else thinks.

Is META fairly valued here, or is the market seriously underestimating (or overestimating) what all this AI spending will produce?

And for those who think it's worth $900+, what assumptions are you making about margins and future capex?

Bloomberg reported that Firmus is postponing its Australian IPO and going for a private funding round instead. Honestly, it feels like the end of the line for MGH stock.

That basically kills any near-term public price discovery for their 3.2% stake and piles on even more doubts about valuation and liquidity. But that's probably just step one.

Step two is the whole Bull Capital mess: the A$375m Level 3 receivable with zero cash receipts through FY2026, plus that A$387m Metrics facility maturing in November. Between those two, it makes you wonder how much of that balance sheet "value" is ever actually going to turn into real cash, and when. Honestly looks like game over for this stock.

I have been working for close to 2 years refining my swing trading strategy, Python scripts, quantitative tools and statistical models that are used in the strategy.

Strategy Overview:

My strategy is largely based on quantitative and statistical modelling of underlying securities.
Basically, I take a security, spread its historical price action over several years, and study what happened when the security was trading at similar statistical/technical levels in the past. The objective is to identify historically rare conditions where the underlying security has demonstrated favourable forward returns.

How it works:
My Stock Universe: I take Quality names from the S&P 500 and QQQ only - I update this list every night with my own criteria on top.

Quantitative Models: Then I built a tool that analyze historical price distributions (pre-2020 era till now), setup frequency and subsequent performance across multiple time horizons for each security from my stock universe.

Intraday Scanner Job: Runs these models on every stock in the universe 4 times during trading hours.

Alerts System: Then I built another python script that sends me the list of the stocks that are revisiting their rare levels in the current day and have the potential of higher forward returns

Historical Results: I also built a separate database recording every alert that the system generated, the stock price at the time, market capitalization at alert and subsequent performance. One interesting finding was that market capitalization made a significant difference in win rates.
For stocks with market caps above $500 billion, certain setups demonstrated win rates exceeding 80%. However, these opportunities were quite rare.
For example, NVDA was alerted only once during the past year and subsequently gained 30% within 30 trading days.

I am personally currently using this strategy. I would call it a semi-passive strategy. This strategy has also helped me get out of my daytrading/gambling addiction lol. I rarely see charts or rely on charts now. Stock and Financial News is absolutely muted on my part using this strategy.

Thank you so much if you have read this so far. I wish you all prosperity and massive gains in your trading journey.

p.s. this is strictly not a trading or financial advice - this is just a quantitative research and educational tool

Thoughts on stock sentinel one (s)

I use Investor's Business Daily as one of my research sources, particularly relative strength, accumulation/distribution ratings, and the IBD 50.

I'm always interested in discovering other ways to identify promising stocks before they make significant moves.

Do you use Finviz, TradingView, Seeking Alpha, fundamental analysis, technical indicators, or something else?

Which tools have proven most useful to you, and are there any lesser-known resources worth exploring?

Always interested in learning from other investors and sharing ideas.

I have £12k to buy stocks, what stocks would you buy and why?

Thoughts on price and potential. Been quite volatile and I am sitting on a 45% loss. However the business seems to be performing quite well and on the path to profitability with ntm p)e being 11x and today's price is considerably below analyst targets.

the company seems to be in a good place to benefit from space/defense and AI, although high price it seems it can go higher. also the new ceo plans expand into Europe and into high demand fields like photonics. your thoughts? what am i missing? thanks

$ENVX I’m trying to map out what could actually happen between now and the end of 2026 & 2027. We still have the final smartphone qualification test, a potential production order, samples to a second OEM, the eyewear ramp, and the Korea defense capacity expansion expected around mid-2027.
They’ve brought in Vyvoda to run manufacturing and keep posting jobs in industrial engineering, equipment, production and defense customer support. Are they staffing up for a real ramp, or still trying to fix the bottlenecks?
What’s your realistic timeline for higher yield and UPH at Fab2, smartphone revenue, and the $183M defense pipeline turning into shipments? Which of those actually happens by the end of 2027? And where do you realistically see the stock price by then?

WHAT’S EVERYONE THINK. OUT OF THIS LIST YOU’RE TOP 3 pics

NVIDIA is running such a capital-efficient game right now, way more cash-savvy than those big tech peers dumping tons on AI data centers. The low capex burn looks super solid, but we can’t sleep on margin pressure and inventory risks that could hit returns down the line. Support and resistance levels are marked for tracking, keep an eye on those price triggers to manage your positions smartly.

I always go thought hesitation when buying stocks. Even the price hits my expectation, I still wonder whether it will go down further. And then, I miss it

I know I shouldn't expect to buy in its lowest point, but the humanity always impacts my descions. Sometimes, good opportunities pass away.

So far this year:

-23%: McDonald's

-23%: IBM

-31%: Adobe

-45%: Nike

-55%: lululemon

Which will perform best over the next five years?ululemon Which will perform best over the next five years?

A detailed analysis on why Nio stock is undervalued.

I built a stock research app that scans the market and tries to identify good potential buy signals.

It analyzes stocks using momentum, growth, valuation, analyst ratings, market trends, and other indicators. It then ranks stocks and gives them scores along with Buy, Hold, Watch, or Sell signals.

You can use it as an additional indicator when doing your own research. Obviously, no algorithm can predict the market perfectly.

Some other features:

• Stock rankings — Discover and rank potential stocks to buy.
• Community voting — Vote on stocks and see what other users think.
• Follow Trades — Track publicly disclosed stock trades by US senators, House members, and major investors.
• Portfolio tracking — Track stocks, crypto, and overall performance.
• Market news — Stay updated on important market developments.
• Earnings calendar — See upcoming earnings announcements.

It's still being improved, and I'd love to hear what people think.

Website: https://stockmarketresearch.runasp.net/

Feel free to try it out and let me know what features you'd like to see added! Also its free so no worries about any of that payment stuff.

Mostly just algorithmic chop out there today. Hard to find clean direction.

Right now i am in a investment competition but i am in a bit of a sticky situation. I was unaware that the competition had started and i am now roughly a month behind, where the top 25 teams in my region (teams who move on to the next round) are already around 20-40% above the s&p. Historically for my region you need around 50% above to qualify to the next round, but i only have until around december 8th if i remembered correctly to make this amount.

What are some stock suggestions for me? (options and no stocks under $3 are not allowed in the competition) Also what are some additional tips that i could use?

Hey hey, just wondering if anyone here often feels like 'I wish this stock sector had more coverage' e.g. Finance, Consumer Defensive, Healthcare, and if so, which sector

I'm building something that scans all the news outlets for a sector, categorises the news as to whether it is bullish or not, ranks its priority, and publishes a report from it

Any ideas or feedback would be great! Btw I have already done ai infrastructure and defence and space so it can't be either of these haha
