Currently I'm just being smart and frugal with my money, I'm in the green 47% over the last 23 months and l've accumulated over $70K in pure profits from DCA’ing into stocks, ETFs, dividends and futures. However I’ve been in the red for a month now. I work hard for my money, so investing is making me a nervous sad wreck. I don’t know if I should sell everything, sit and just wait.
Stocks are pretty unstable at the moment, but if you do the right math, you should be just fine. Bloomberg and other finance media have been recording cases of folks gaining over 250k just in a matter of weeks/couple months, so I think there are a lot of wealth transfer in this downtime if you know where to look.
This is precisely why I like having a portfolio coach guide my day-to-day market decisions: with their extensive knowledge of going long and short at the same time, using risk for its asymmetrical upside and laying it off as a hedge against the inevitable downward turns, their skillset makes it nearly impossible for them to underperform. I've been utilizing a portfolio coach for more than two years, and I've made over $800,000.
Well, I chose Sharon Ann Meny as my advisor after her interview on CNBC In 2020. She is SEC regulated with offices in the US and quite frankly a genius with portfolio diversification.
Thank you for this tip. It was easy to find your coach. Did my due diligence on her before scheduling a phone call with her. She seems proficient considering her resume.
My advice to new investors: Buy good companies stocks and hold them as long as they are good companies. Just do this and ignore the forecasts and market views which are at best entertaining but completely useless.
The key to big returns is not big moving stocks. It's managing risk in relationship to reward. Having the correct size on and turning your edge as many times as necessary to reach your goal. That holds true from long term investing to day trading.
Due to my demanding job, I lack the time to thoroughly assess my investments and analyze individual stocks. Consequently, for the past seven years, I have enlisted the services of a fiduciary who actively manages my portfolio to adapt to the current market conditions. This strategy has allowed me to navigate the financial landscape successfully, making informed decisions on when to buy and sell. Perhaps you should consider a similar approach.
I'm intrigued by this. I've searched for financial advisors online but it's kind of hard to get in touch with one. Okay if I ask you for a recommendation?
Finding financial advisors like Melissa Terri Swayne who can assist you shape your portfolio would be a very creative option. There will be difficult times ahead, and prudent personal money management will be essential to navigating them.
I just looked her up on the internet and found her webpage with her credentials. I wrote her an outlining my financial objectives and planned a call with her.
As an investment enthusiast, I often wonder how top level investors are able to become millionaires off investing. I do have a significant amount of capital that is required to start up but I have no idea what strategies and direction I need to approach to help me make over $400k like some people are this season.
I believe the safest approach is to diversify investments especially under professional; guide. You can mitigate the effects of a market meltdown by diversifying their investments across different asset classes such as stocks, etfs etc It is important to seek the advice of an expert.
A lot of folks downplay the role of advlsors until being burnt by their own emotions. I remember couple summers back, after my lengthy divorce, I needed a good boost to help my business stay afloat, hence I researched for licensed advisors and came across someone of utmost qualifications. She's helped grow my reserve notwithstanding inflation, from $275k to $850k.
Thanks for sharing your experience! I’ve been managing my portfolio myself, but it’s not working out. Do you have any recommendations for a good investment advisor? I could really use some help.
My CFA, Judith Lynn Staufer, is a renowned figure in her field. I recommend researching her name online; you’ll find all her credentials and everything you need to work with a reliable professional. With many years of experience, she is a valuable resource for anyone looking to navigate the financial market.
Thank you so much for the suggestion! I really needed it. I looked her up on Google and explored her website; she has an impressive background in investments. I've sent her an email, and I hope to hear back from her soon!
Strong BUY. Still early innings. NVIDIA is the dominant leader in AI and the preferred technology partner globally. Even w new competition on the horizon, NVIDIA is far ahead of the competition. 85% market share. 76% margin. Unrivaled demand for new Blackwell chip. Demand far exceeds production for Blackwell through to 2025 and beyond. No competitor has anything close to Blackwell. And forward P/E is about 33 (cheap for a high growth stock). Buy this stock and wait. You will be rewarded.
Problem is that NVDA is addicted to the datacenter, their mobile offerings are terrible. Inference needs to happen at the edge (mobile) and training will not have the same amount of demand as time goes on. NVDA is a major bet on aggregation of resources (compute) but this is cyclical as we have seen dozens of major shifts in this industry. Remember when Citrix aggregated desktops with VDI and then it imploded because VDI has a problem with latency? AI Inference in the datacenter has the same problem with latency. AAPL and Samsung are the best buys for AI now that we are transitioning from training to inference.
When it comes to investment, diversification is key. That is why I have my interests set on key sectors based on performance and projected growth. They range from the EV sector, renewable energy, Tech and Health (AMD) alongside coins, and gold. I'm also working on an investment plan with my Fin. Advisor that includes AI looking into Nvidia, MSFT, Alphabet stocks among others. I've been utilising a financial adviser for more than 15 months now, and I've made over $800,000.
I actually subscribed for a few trading courses but it didn't help much, been getting suggestions to use a proper financial adviser, how did you go about touching base with your coach?
I work with Nancy Magaret Delony . Investing with her has been a different ball game entirely so different from the stale methods of managers I’ve worked with in the past. She has a large following and is easily found online.
Netflix is the first stock I ever tried to buy. I had just got married and we tried it out because we couldn’t afford cable. I thought it was insanely awesome and went to the bank to figure out how I could buy shares. They told me to slow down and got me into a shitty mutual fund instead. Still one of my biggest regrets!
(NYSE:ARR) is a high-yield mortgage REIT paying monthly dividends. The stock has a dividend yield of about 14%, as of August 14. If the stock has increased sharply because the business is performing exceptionally well, it could still be a bargain. I'm still looking for companies to make additions to my $350K portfolio, to boost performance. Here for ideas...
I think the next big thing will be A.I. For enduring growth akin to META, it's vital to avoid impulsive decisions driven by short-term fluctuations. Prioritize patience and a long-term perspective most importantly consider financial advisory for informed buying and selling decisions.

Viviana Marisa Coelho is her name. She is regarded as a genius in her area and works for Empower Financial Services. By looking her up online, you can quickly verify her level of experience. She is well knowledgeable about financial markets.
Thank you for the lead, searched her full name and at once spotted her consulting page, she seems highly professional having over 12 years of experience. amazing!
you should do more of these comments reviews. Just like what my teacher used to say: "If someone is confused, or has a question, the likelyhood that others are also confused is high".
Markets look like 2015-16. Probably going back to all time highs, but will probably go sideways until fed signals rate cut, Recently sold 25% of my $285k portfolio comprising of plummeting stocks that were recommended by certain financial RUclipsrs, quite devastating!
not their fault, the stock market seems to be more of a casino for gamblers now than a place for investors. even if you were averaging down on ailing companies, its your duty to properly research, buying the dip does not guarantee a rebound or get advice from a financial counselor.

I’ve had majority of my holdings in tech stocks and irrespective of market changes, I’ve done pretty well especially with apple’s P/E(price to earnings ratio) gaining over 30% this past decade, now my questions is what stocks do you think will be the next apple in terms of growth for the next decade.
Because Apple has surpassed the competition, it may be difficult to locate the next Apple inside the tech stock industry. It is best to look beyond technology stocks.

Annette Christine Conte is the licensed coach I use. Just research the name. You'd find necessary details to work with a correspondence to set up an appointment.
She appears to be a true authority in her profession with over two decades of experience. I looked her up on the internet and skimmed through her site, very professional. already sent her an inquiry hoping for a response soon.
Most investors can’t seem to wrap their heads around the fact that any metric based on price is not a value metric. It’s a public perception metric at a given moment-that’s it. It tells you nothing about value of the business. In fact, incorporating price into a value metric actually nullifies its direct usefulness as a value metric. It isolates the context of that value by incorporating the fundamentally arbitrary and unpredictable nature of market price. Even pricing metric trends like a ten year historical PE tell you nothing about valuation on their own. Now yes, these metrics can be incredibly useful in valuation research, but again, not without further value-based context. Valuation is not a formula. It’s a context-aware perspective.
Joseph, the retailers aren't price gouging. It's the suppliers that are price gouging. Look at record profits for food conglomerates like PepsiCo and Proctor and Gamble. They make 50%+ gross margins. Look at meat processors like Cargill and Tyson Foods. These industries have become historically highly concentrated in the past few years
Very much disagree with you there as well. Even moving up the chain, these companies are not gouging. S&P 500 is up 91% over the past 5 years. Kraft Heinze is up 38% over the past 5 years. It's underperformed the market. Mondelez is up 30%, it's underperformed the market. Pepsi is up 32%, underperformed. Coca Cola is up 27%, underperformed. You can look at almost any of the supplier consumer staple companies, and none of them are doing all that well. If they truly had such an unfair advantage, and were so opportunistic, and they had the ability to raise prices without concern, shouldn't their stock move up? I invest in companies that are monopolies. Google, Apple, Microsoft, FICO, Mastercard/Visa, S&P Global, Moody's, those are monopolies. Consumer goods and conglomerates are not monopolies, they don't have monopoly pricing power, they all compete with a million Chinese competitors that will undercut them at any chance.
Companies learned during covid, when supply was hard to come by, they experimented with raising margins to make the same profits. The change worked, and now companies have higher margins than before because it cools down their operations to produce as much and consumers are buying enough to make it worth it.
@@JosephCarlsonAfterHours have you noticed what happened to margins during 2021? How is that not price gouging?... they noticed the immense liquidity flooding the economy because of all the stimulus and took advantage of it. So companies like retailers are in good part responsible for some of the inflation that went on.. They are not price gouging now because indeed they can't.. inflation destroyed the 30-40% lower income consumer so now they certainly can't On the Netflix and valuation point... I think your qualitative analysis in absolutely top notch and that's why i follow this channel like clockwork.. but i also believe you highly underestimate valuation and/or multiple expansion risk on many of your bets.. though I agree those are amazing companies
Moronic to mentions meat processing companies and say they’re price gouging. They arent price gouging, it just so happens that raising and killing animals is very expensive considering almost nobody is psychotic enough to want to do it for a living
I'll need help if I'm going to make it through this. The ETF and stock markets are still pretty volatile. What's left of my $170,000 portfolio now isn't looking good; how can I capitalize on the market?
Many people are still getting fantastic returns on their investments during this time. Simply maintain a strong sense of reality or ask for professional assistance.
Agreed, the role of advisors an only be overlooked but not denied. I was shocked that I made more money with investing than hard work, not even my CEO income. Earning ''return on investment'' fetched me millions within a space of 5 yrs.(But I still enjoy working)
My CFA Carol Vivian Constable, a renowned figure in her line of work. I recommend researching her credentials further. She has many years of experience and is a valuable resource for anyone looking to navigate the financial market.
no bs! curiously copied and pasted her name on the web, her site came up at once, she seems highly professional and well matched for the job.. thanks for putting this out
Purchasing a stock may seem straightforward, but selecting the correct stock without a proven strategy can be exceedingly challenging. I've been working on expanding my $210K portfolio for a while, and my primary obstacle is the lack of clear entry and exit strategies. Any advice on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
The professionals presently control the market since they not only have the essential business strategy but also have access to inside information that the general public is not aware of.
The issue is most people have the “I will do it myself mentality” but not skilled enough. Ideally, advisors are perfect reps for investing jobs and at first-hand experience, my portfolio has yielded over 350%, since covid-outbreak to date, summing up nearly $1m.
“Lucinda Margaret Crist” is the licensed fiduciary I use. Just research the name. You’d find necessary details to work with a correspondence to set up an appointment
My portfolio doesn’t just cater to dividend stocks. I hold $VFIAX (S&P 500 index fund) in my Roth IRA and $VTI (Total Stock Market ETF) in my taxable brokerage account. Two of my largest holdings. The individual dividend stock positions all complement the index holdings.
I was advised to diversify my portfolio among several assets such as stocks and bonds since this can protect my portfolio for retirement. I'm seeking to invest $200K across markets but don't know where to start.
the strategies are quite rigorous for the regular-Joe. As a matter of fact, they are mostly successfully carried out by pros who have had a great deal of skillset/knowledge to pull such trades off.
No doubt, having the right plan is invaluable, my portfolio is well-matched for every season of the market and recently hit 100% rise from early last year. I and my CFP are working on a 7 figure ballpark goal, tho this could take till Q3 2024.
Jessica Lee Horst' is the licensed coach I use. Just research the name. You'd find necessary details to work with a correspondence to set up an appointment.
To be kinda blunt, I am giving up on investing in stocks... I put between 2000 to 3000 a month and it's nothing but down down.... Sooooo frustrating and I only invest in boring big companies. How can I capitalize in such a market?
Just ''buy the dip'' man. In the long term it will payoff. High interest rates usually mean lower stock prices, however investors should be cautious of the bull run, its best you connect with a well-qualified adviser to meet your growth goals and avoid blunder
I agree with you. I started out with investing on my own, but I lost a lot of money. I was able to pull out about $200k after the 2020 crash. I invested the money using an analyst, and in seven months, I raked in almost $673,000
If you invest in S&P ETF, you would be up. That is the safe way to invest over 10+ years. Investing in stocks takes a little more due diligence on analysis of financial statements. Go the safe route and you will be rewarded.
I lost over $80k when everything started to tank. Not because I was in an exchange that went belly up. I was just stupid to hold and because that's what everyone said. I'm still responsible. It just taught me to be a better investor now that I understand more of what could go wrong. It took me over two years of being in the market, I'm really grateful I found one source to recover my money, at least $10k profits weekly. Thanks Brooke Miller.
She is my family's personal broker and also a personal broker in many families I'm United States, she's a licensed broker and a FINRA AGENT in United states
I just withdrew my profits a week ago, To be honest it was an amazing feeling when the profits hits my wallet I wish I could reinvest but, too much bills
I will be forever grateful to you, you changed my entire life and I will continue to preach on your behalf for the whole world to hear you saved me from huge financial debt with just a small investment, thank you Katherine Flores.
Wow. I'm a bit perplexed seeing her been mentioned here also Didn’t know she has been good to so many people too this is wonderful, I'm in my fifth trade with her and it has been super.
She is my family's personal Broker and also a personal Broker to many families in the United states, she is a licensed broker and a FINRA AGENT in the United States.
I appreciate your comments on using one metric to value companies. Anyone buying individual stocks should make an effort to understand how to value their stocks accurately, because it takes time, effort, experience and a bit of intuition. I've been watching you and Daniel Pronk for about a year now and my biggest takeaway is that valuing companies is both an art and a science and takes real effort and skill. I still buy some individual stocks, but I mostly stick to index funds until my kids are older and I have more time to devote to understanding businesses.
Considering a young short term minded person with constant need for cash, are these stocks still worth owning? I am new to all of these and have incurred so much losses in so little time, I am beginning to think I am not doing what is good for me but good for others
I feel for you but remember this is not necessarily permanent. The market changes! People must realize that the market is a zero sum game, comes with lots of risks and you could potentially lose all. Secondly, what works for A must not necessarily work for B and you shouldn't be a bandwagon investor. Always make more thorough inquiries before putting your money somewhere or better still, use a finance expert (that way, you give little room for error and get tailored investments). Made my first million earlier this year after losing a lot to RUclips inspired trial and error investing.
...Very sound and realistic. I have been into this for sometime now and though I won't say I have lost a fortune, I have squandered quite a lot... You mentioned using pros, if its not a problem. do you mind telling if you used one and recommending how to get a good one? I could definitely use the help of one right now... Thanks...
Yeah I use one, as keeping up with trends can be challenging if it's not your main job-especially when you’re working a 9-to-5. For the expert, I’m not sure if I’m allowed to provide specific details here, but it’s a good idea to start by checking out options from reputable firms with strong track records. Also, ensure that the person you’re considering is properly licensed. I use Eckrich, Allen-Michael, and hes good I don't know if he's currently taking on new people
I think you should talk more about the PE ratio. Everyone just claims that's a good buy because of low PE, but like you said, it's not enough to decide if the company is a good buy with a low PE. THANKS
29:28 hi! Sorry, Nvidia is growing earning by 112% a year. Netflix only by 16%. NVIDIA's profit margin is above 50%, sometimes 63%. Net profit margin. How much is that of Netflix's? So, yeah, I'd rather go for Nvidia 😅
It also doesn't help Ford that they've spent months trying to sell Broncos for $100k and Mustangs for $80k. Every day those suckers sit on the lot costs the dealers money. Horrible strategy that will take them many years to recover. If you're in the market for a car though...standby. Wait for the dealer discounts...they're coming. Look at the days on lot...some cars are sitting for MONTHS.

Hi Joseph, Could you please make a video on how you do qualitative analysis on stocks. The quantitative aspects on Qualtrim are amazing. But how do you research the qualitative factors of a company?
@@seniorkevin yeah I know, the compounding video. Those slides are amazing, but I was wondering what sources he uses to determine the MOAT of a company. Does he read the news, 10ks, etc.
Yes with decent competiton, law of supply and demand works better unless they get together to set prices.Price fixing occurs when there are a small number of companies in a particular supply marketplace, commonly referred to as an oligopoly. These businesses offer the same product and form an agreement to set the price level. *And great info ab fwd PE ratio and valuation.
If you believe in the efficient market hypothesis and everything is priced in how could any stock be undervalued or overvalued every stock is simply perfect at any point in time
Every car manufacturer will have fully autonomous cars for both private and commercial use. It will become commodity. Car brands will not control taxi without driver market, just like they don't control today taxi with driver market today.
Loved the last few minutes of the video where you went into the PE and valuation. Would like to see more of that type of commentary, not only on good stocks but how you set expectations on valuation.
@@morehn I personally think it's vaporware. QSR stock with a 400 PE? Their growth is fully dependent on them increasing store count by 20+% annually, an unsustainable growth rate. But it's the high P/E I'm interested in Joseph's take. Is it growing fast enough to warrant it?
@@Nick-gj6je fair question, but I just follow the charts, since the big money should figure the details out and their decisions should be evident in the chart
@@morehn it feels like most of the market is chasing momentum. It’s a valid strategy for sure, I’m just not fast enough to play that game. CAVA though, the only bull case I hear is that “it’s the next CMG” which I think is quite the assumption.
@@Nick-gj6je that's why I find the breakout and then buy on the retest. It's all wyckoff strategy and price action. I'll never buy in the middle of an upmove.
for me it is also the customer network that is the valuable thing here. the self-driving cars will just be a supplier-part in the equation from my point of view
I disagree about your price gouging comments, but I think that many investors share your sentiments about that subject. It is a touchy one, and it seems to be effective at generating comments and video traffic right now. Ultimately, it takes more than a profit margin percentage metric and looks at supplier stock prices to accurately identify if price gouging is happening. Love the general stock analysis otherwise, keep up the good work!
Thanks Joseph. I follow a lot of investing channels and yours have emerged overtime as the one channel I most look forward to updates from. Keep up the good work!
I don’t think the retail stores themselves are gouging, but I look at the massive, record-breaking profits from companies like General Mills and Tyson, and I say that those companies are gouging.
Interesting. General Mill’s gross margins were 41% in 2010. They were less than 35% in 2024. Tyson’s gross margins were 7.9% in 2022, went negative in 2023 and are near zero now. People should really not listen to politicians. Do your research. You’re being played. 23% inflation in four years. But, you keep believing that it has nothing to do with how the government adds to the money supply.. It IS greed, but not “corporate greed.” It’s the politicians that can’t stop spending your money. Now, be a good constituent and make sure you vote!
The issue I have is, don't tell me we need to raise prices when the dividend has been going up for TGT 54 years- raised for 54 years not just paid. Have you looked into stock buybacks? CEO's pay? So really the prices NEED to go up? Utilities always get rate increases but 100's of presidents in the companies making millions, high dividends that are raised every year. ED=51 years of raising. Everything can be perfect for a company but once that is figured into the price of the stock what do they do for next quarter? Cut every penny of expense for any public company, what happens after they is in the price, next quarter or YOY?
Many consumer goods companies did actually price gouge, either by raising prices way beyond inflation, or through so called "shrinkflation", making the customer pay the same price for (much) smaller portions. This has gone so far that in Europe, a number of retailers actually went "to war" with them, banning products by Mars, for example, because they didn't accept their pricing. However, I agree that retail is mostly blameless in this, due to the low margins, even if there are a few exceptions.
In regards to price gouging, I would point to not the retailers, but the upstream suppliers such as PepsiCo. Their CEO was vocal in their ability to raise prices.
Joseph, I would like to know your opinion on gold mining companies. RGLD, FNV. Love your content, you have taught me many new things. Keep up the great work, we all appreciate the hell out of you.
Didn't an egg producer just lose a case for price gouging? In fact, did they also get found guilty of taking actions that caused addition price inflation which they then benefit from? Perhaps the retailers are not price gouging (unless they are colluding/price fixing which happens - see the generic drug market from 2010-2019 and the DOJ investigation). But the producers can be price gouging. Look at the price of oil/gas and how long it took for prices to reduce at the pump relative to the drop of the commodity as opposed to how quick the pump price rose when the commodity rose. Things that make you say HMMMMM.🤔
Hey Joseph, could you explain the difference between the different margin rates and when to use them depending on the type of company? Still a little confused on operating margin, etc
I currently have around $250,000 in cash savings and I was advised to invest it in stocks. What long-term strategies should I use for investments to secure my financial future?
The strategies are quite rigorous for the regular-Joe. As a matter of fact, they are mostly successfully carried out by pros who have had a great deal of skillset/knowledge to pull such trades off.
buy great stocks 100 shares each sell covered calls if you want a new stock sell a puts on that stock eventually you get called on that put and you'll own 100 shares of that stock and you got paid to buy it.. then sell covered call on it for cash flow easy peezy
The issue is most people have the "I want to do it myself mentality" but not equipped enough for a crash, hence get burnt, no offense. In general, invt-advisors are ideal reps for investing jobs, and at firsthand encounter, since Jan.2020, my portfolio has yielded nearly 300%, summing up to 7-figure as of today.
I have stuck with the popularly ‘’Marissa Lynn Babula” for about five years now, and her performance has been consistently impressive. She’s quite known in her field, look her up.
The number of times you read people on seeking alpha quoting PE ratios when assessing whether they should invest in a growth company is ridiculous. Growth investing is not the same as value investing, where PE becomes more relevant.
The thing is that people are either lazy to do their own valuation task or they just want one single ratio to tell them that. Do your own due diligence and then make the decision. Very good stuff Joseph thanks 👌🏻
12:48 that's a dangerous line there. The complaints about fees are loud, you are putting a lot of value in people not being fed up enough to change their spending habits. Not to mention restaurants opening their own apps or partnering with other vendors to power a website
Can you explain why both WMT and TGT beat profit and revenue expectations handily after they started reducing their prices and providing more value to their customers? The point of this price gouging claim was that the CEIs and CFOs of these companies were on record during their earning calls bragging that they had pricing power and were able to raise prices on their customers. If the price of everything has gone up including their costs, would these grocery stores not be racking up loses or decreased profits?
You don’t know what the future growth rate of Netflix is or the future growth rate of Ford. Ford could exceed growth expectations and Netflix’s growth rate could disappoint. In that case, Ford almost certainly is way undervalued compared to Netflix.
Uber: Considering that 1.9b out of those 4.7b in FCF are stock-based compensation, yes it is expensive with respect to actual cashflows. Doordash: the company is not profitable. The company lost 560m in FY23. Then they add 1.1b in stock-based compensation EXPENSE, another 1b in accrued EXPENSES, some amortization and voila, cashflow positive... Dear Charlie Munger, please rate these businesses on a 1 (gambling) to 10 (investing) scale. In doing so, if you could, please refrain from insulting anybody: the YT algo doesn't like it :)
IMO I don't think that Waymo is ever going to recoup it's investment for a VERY long time, if it ever does, for one reason. It's methodology to solving self driving will make it impossible for them to ever scale it out to work nationwide, let alone globally. That makes it suited to JUST robotaxi's in narrow geofenced areas, which is going to make it impossible for them to tackle any other economic opportunities with self driving vehicles (which IMO are much more numerous and lucrative then a taxi market). Waymo is simple never going to be capable of driving you from anywhere on the East Coast of the US to anywhere on the West Coast of the US.
I am at the beginning of my "investment journey", planning to put 85K into dividend stocks so that I will be making up to 30% per year in dividend returns. Any advice?
I don't know about those smaller retail stores, but I have noticed that at Sam's Club that they raised their price of meat per pound. They also shrunk their ham, but the price did not increase. If the wholesale company is doing it, then why wouldn't the smaller retail stores like Wal-Mart and Target not be doing it as well. That is one point that I do not agree with.
The issue behind comments like yours highlights Netflix’s biggest problem. The idea that there’s “nothing watchable” is idiotic given the sheer scope of the selection, but that scope means it is easy to miss things that would appeal to you.
Have noticed prices has gone up quite a bit at Target since they remodeled the stores which has been before the pandemic. Have not shopped there for a while, only recently started shopping there again. I like most of the shoppers shopped in Walmart and Costco instead.

Stocks are pretty unstable at the moment, but if you do the right math, you should be just fine. Bloomberg and other finance media have been recording cases of folks gaining over 250k just in a matter of weeks/couple months, so I think there are a lot of wealth transfer in this downtime if you know where to look.
This is precisely why I like having a portfolio coach guide my day-to-day market decisions: with their extensive knowledge of going long and short at the same time, using risk for its asymmetrical upside and laying it off as a hedge against the inevitable downward turns, their skillset makes it nearly impossible for them to underperform. I've been utilizing a portfolio coach for more than two years, and I've made over $800,000.
Mind if I ask you to recommend this particular advisor you using their service?
Well, I chose Sharon Ann Meny as my advisor after her interview on CNBC In 2020. She is SEC regulated with offices in the US and quite frankly a genius with portfolio diversification.
Thank you for this tip. It was easy to find your coach. Did my due diligence on her before scheduling a phone call with her. She seems proficient considering her resume.
My advice to new investors: Buy good companies stocks and hold them as long as they are good companies. Just do this and ignore the forecasts and market views which are at best entertaining but completely useless.
The key to big returns is not big moving stocks. It's managing risk in relationship to reward. Having the correct size on and turning your edge as many times as necessary to reach your goal. That holds true from long term investing to day trading.
Due to my demanding job, I lack the time to thoroughly assess my investments and analyze individual stocks. Consequently, for the past seven years, I have enlisted the services of a fiduciary who actively manages my portfolio to adapt to the current market conditions. This strategy has allowed me to navigate the financial landscape successfully, making informed decisions on when to buy and sell. Perhaps you should consider a similar approach.
I'm intrigued by this. I've searched for financial advisors online but it's kind of hard to get in touch with one. Okay if I ask you for a recommendation?
Finding financial advisors like Melissa Terri Swayne who can assist you shape your portfolio would be a very creative option. There will be difficult times ahead, and prudent personal money management will be essential to navigating them.
I just looked her up on the internet and found her webpage with her credentials. I wrote her an outlining my financial objectives and planned a call with her.
As an investment enthusiast, I often wonder how top level investors are able to become millionaires off investing. I do have a significant amount of capital that is required to start up but I have no idea what strategies and direction I need to approach to help me make over $400k like some people are this season.
I believe the safest approach is to diversify investments especially under professional; guide. You can mitigate the effects of a market meltdown by diversifying their investments across different asset classes such as stocks, etfs etc It is important to seek the advice of an expert.
A lot of folks downplay the role of advlsors until being burnt by their own emotions. I remember couple summers back, after my lengthy divorce, I needed a good boost to help my business stay afloat, hence I researched for licensed advisors and came across someone of utmost qualifications. She's helped grow my reserve notwithstanding inflation, from $275k to $850k.
Thanks for sharing your experience! I’ve been managing my portfolio myself, but it’s not working out. Do you have any recommendations for a good investment advisor? I could really use some help.
My CFA, Judith Lynn Staufer, is a renowned figure in her field. I recommend researching her name online; you’ll find all her credentials and everything you need to work with a reliable professional. With many years of experience, she is a valuable resource for anyone looking to navigate the financial market.
Thank you so much for the suggestion! I really needed it. I looked her up on Google and explored her website; she has an impressive background in investments. I've sent her an email, and I hope to hear back from her soon!
Strong BUY. Still early innings. NVIDIA is the dominant leader in AI and the preferred technology partner globally. Even w new competition on the horizon, NVIDIA is far ahead of the competition. 85% market share. 76% margin. Unrivaled demand for new Blackwell chip. Demand far exceeds production for Blackwell through to 2025 and beyond. No competitor has anything close to Blackwell. And forward P/E is about 33 (cheap for a high growth stock). Buy this stock and wait. You will be rewarded.
Problem is that NVDA is addicted to the datacenter, their mobile offerings are terrible. Inference needs to happen at the edge (mobile) and training will not have the same amount of demand as time goes on. NVDA is a major bet on aggregation of resources (compute) but this is cyclical as we have seen dozens of major shifts in this industry. Remember when Citrix aggregated desktops with VDI and then it imploded because VDI has a problem with latency? AI Inference in the datacenter has the same problem with latency. AAPL and Samsung are the best buys for AI now that we are transitioning from training to inference.
When it comes to investment, diversification is key. That is why I have my interests set on key sectors based on performance and projected growth. They range from the EV sector, renewable energy, Tech and Health (AMD) alongside coins, and gold. I'm also working on an investment plan with my Fin. Advisor that includes AI looking into Nvidia, MSFT, Alphabet stocks among others. I've been utilising a financial adviser for more than 15 months now, and I've made over $800,000.
I actually subscribed for a few trading courses but it didn't help much, been getting suggestions to use a proper financial adviser, how did you go about touching base with your coach?
I work with Nancy Magaret Delony . Investing with her has been a different ball game entirely so different from the stale methods of managers I’ve worked with in the past. She has a large following and is easily found online.
Thank you! I entered her full name into my browser, and her website came out on top. I sent her a mail and I hope she gets back to me soon.
Netflix is the first stock I ever tried to buy. I had just got married and we tried it out because we couldn’t afford cable. I thought it was insanely awesome and went to the bank to figure out how I could buy shares. They told me to slow down and got me into a shitty mutual fund instead. Still one of my biggest regrets!
Don't be results oriented with your regrets. 😅
(NYSE:ARR) is a high-yield mortgage REIT paying monthly dividends. The stock has a dividend yield of about 14%, as of August 14. If the stock has increased sharply because the business is performing exceptionally well, it could still be a bargain. I'm still looking for companies to make additions to my $350K portfolio, to boost performance. Here for ideas...
I think the next big thing will be A.I. For enduring growth akin to META, it's vital to avoid impulsive decisions driven by short-term fluctuations. Prioritize patience and a long-term perspective most importantly consider financial advisory for informed buying and selling decisions.

Markets look like 2015-16. Probably going back to all time highs, but will probably go sideways until fed signals rate cut, Recently sold 25% of my $285k portfolio comprising of plummeting stocks that were recommended by certain financial RUclipsrs, quite devastating!
not their fault, the stock market seems to be more of a casino for gamblers now than a place for investors. even if you were averaging down on ailing companies, its your duty to properly research, buying the dip does not guarantee a rebound or get advice from a financial counselor.

I’ve had majority of my holdings in tech stocks and irrespective of market changes, I’ve done pretty well especially with apple’s P/E(price to earnings ratio) gaining over 30% this past decade, now my questions is what stocks do you think will be the next apple in terms of growth for the next decade.
Because Apple has surpassed the competition, it may be difficult to locate the next Apple inside the tech stock industry. It is best to look beyond technology stocks.

Annette Christine Conte is the licensed coach I use. Just research the name. You'd find necessary details to work with a correspondence to set up an appointment.
She appears to be a true authority in her profession with over two decades of experience. I looked her up on the internet and skimmed through her site, very professional. already sent her an inquiry hoping for a response soon.
Most investors can’t seem to wrap their heads around the fact that any metric based on price is not a value metric. It’s a public perception metric at a given moment-that’s it. It tells you nothing about value of the business. In fact, incorporating price into a value metric actually nullifies its direct usefulness as a value metric. It isolates the context of that value by incorporating the fundamentally arbitrary and unpredictable nature of market price.
Even pricing metric trends like a ten year historical PE tell you nothing about valuation on their own.
Now yes, these metrics can be incredibly useful in valuation research, but again, not without further value-based context. Valuation is not a formula. It’s a context-aware perspective.
Excellent comment- well said.
Yep...spot on! So take gains constantly... don't be greedy and use stop loss!
Joseph, the retailers aren't price gouging. It's the suppliers that are price gouging. Look at record profits for food conglomerates like PepsiCo and Proctor and Gamble. They make 50%+ gross margins. Look at meat processors like Cargill and Tyson Foods. These industries have become historically highly concentrated in the past few years
Very much disagree with you there as well. Even moving up the chain, these companies are not gouging.
S&P 500 is up 91% over the past 5 years.
Kraft Heinze is up 38% over the past 5 years. It's underperformed the market.
Mondelez is up 30%, it's underperformed the market.
Pepsi is up 32%, underperformed.
Coca Cola is up 27%, underperformed.
You can look at almost any of the supplier consumer staple companies, and none of them are doing all that well. If they truly had such an unfair advantage, and were so opportunistic, and they had the ability to raise prices without concern, shouldn't their stock move up?
I invest in companies that are monopolies. Google, Apple, Microsoft, FICO, Mastercard/Visa, S&P Global, Moody's, those are monopolies. Consumer goods and conglomerates are not monopolies, they don't have monopoly pricing power, they all compete with a million Chinese competitors that will undercut them at any chance.
@JosephCarlsonAfterHours great response
Companies learned during covid, when supply was hard to come by, they experimented with raising margins to make the same profits.
The change worked, and now companies have higher margins than before because it cools down their operations to produce as much and consumers are buying enough to make it worth it.
@@JosephCarlsonAfterHours have you noticed what happened to margins during 2021?
How is that not price gouging?... they noticed the immense liquidity flooding the economy because of all the stimulus and took advantage of it.
So companies like retailers are in good part responsible for some of the inflation that went on..
They are not price gouging now because indeed they can't.. inflation destroyed the 30-40% lower income consumer so now they certainly can't
On the Netflix and valuation point... I think your qualitative analysis in absolutely top notch and that's why i follow this channel like clockwork.. but i also believe you highly underestimate valuation and/or multiple expansion risk on many of your bets.. though I agree those are amazing companies
Moronic to mentions meat processing companies and say they’re price gouging. They arent price gouging, it just so happens that raising and killing animals is very expensive considering almost nobody is psychotic enough to want to do it for a living
I'll need help if I'm going to make it through this. The ETF and stock markets are still pretty volatile. What's left of my $170,000 portfolio now isn't looking good; how can I capitalize on the market?
Many people are still getting fantastic returns on their investments during this time. Simply maintain a strong sense of reality or ask for professional assistance.
Agreed, the role of advisors an only be overlooked but not denied. I was shocked that I made more money with investing than hard work, not even my CEO income. Earning ''return on investment'' fetched me millions within a space of 5 yrs.(But I still enjoy working)
Could you possibly recommend a CFA you've consulted with?
My CFA Carol Vivian Constable, a renowned figure in her line of work. I recommend researching her credentials further. She has many years of experience and is a valuable resource for anyone looking to navigate the financial market.
no bs! curiously copied and pasted her name on the web, her site came up at once, she seems highly professional and well matched for the job.. thanks for putting this out
Purchasing a stock may seem straightforward, but selecting the correct stock without a proven strategy can be exceedingly challenging. I've been working on expanding my $210K portfolio for a while, and my primary obstacle is the lack of clear entry and exit strategies. Any advice on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
The professionals presently control the market since they not only have the essential business strategy but also have access to inside information that the general public is not aware of.
The issue is most people have the “I will do it myself mentality” but not skilled enough. Ideally, advisors are perfect reps for investing jobs and at first-hand experience, my portfolio has yielded over 350%, since covid-outbreak to date, summing up nearly $1m.
impressive gains! how can I get your advisor please, if you dont mind me asking? I could really use a help as of now

I was advised to diversify my portfolio among several assets such as stocks and bonds since this can protect my portfolio for retirement. I'm seeking to invest $200K across markets but don't know where to start.
the strategies are quite rigorous for the regular-Joe. As a matter of fact, they are mostly successfully carried out by pros who have had a great deal of skillset/knowledge to pull such trades off.
No doubt, having the right plan is invaluable, my portfolio is well-matched for every season of the market and recently hit 100% rise from early last year. I and my CFP are working on a 7 figure ballpark goal, tho this could take till Q3 2024.

To be kinda blunt, I am giving up on investing in stocks... I put between 2000 to 3000 a month and it's nothing but down down.... Sooooo frustrating and I only invest in boring big companies. How can I capitalize in such a market?
Just ''buy the dip'' man. In the long term it will payoff. High interest rates usually mean lower stock prices, however investors should be cautious of the bull run, its best you connect with a well-qualified adviser to meet your growth goals and avoid blunder
I agree with you. I started out with investing on my own, but I lost a lot of money. I was able to pull out about $200k after the 2020 crash. I invested the money using an analyst, and in seven months, I raked in almost $673,000

If you invest in S&P ETF, you would be up. That is the safe way to invest over 10+ years. Investing in stocks takes a little more due diligence on analysis of financial statements. Go the safe route and you will be rewarded.
It's not the market, it's you.
I lost over $80k when everything started to tank. Not because I was in an exchange that went belly up. I was just stupid to hold and because that's what everyone said. I'm still responsible. It just taught me to be a better investor now that I understand more of what could go wrong. It took me over two years of being in the market, I'm really grateful I found one source to recover my money, at least $10k profits weekly. Thanks Brooke Miller.
The very first time we tried, we invested $1000 and after a week, we received $5500. That really helped us a lot to pay up our bills.

CNBC is really unsufferable. 90% of their moderators are not able to let the guest finish a single sentence before interrupting again.
You are quickly becoming my favorite show on RUclips. Calm, well thought out, articulate.
I appreciate your comments on using one metric to value companies. Anyone buying individual stocks should make an effort to understand how to value their stocks accurately, because it takes time, effort, experience and a bit of intuition. I've been watching you and Daniel Pronk for about a year now and my biggest takeaway is that valuing companies is both an art and a science and takes real effort and skill. I still buy some individual stocks, but I mostly stick to index funds until my kids are older and I have more time to devote to understanding businesses.
PS: Thanks for the SCHG advice a while back. It's now my favorite index fund.
Considering a young short term minded person with constant need for cash, are these stocks still worth owning? I am new to all of these and have incurred so much losses in so little time, I am beginning to think I am not doing what is good for me but good for others
same here bro
I feel for you but remember this is not necessarily permanent. The market changes! People must realize that the market is a zero sum game, comes with lots of risks and you could potentially lose all. Secondly, what works for A must not necessarily work for B and you shouldn't be a bandwagon investor. Always make more thorough inquiries before putting your money somewhere or better still, use a finance expert (that way, you give little room for error and get tailored investments). Made my first million earlier this year after losing a lot to RUclips inspired trial and error investing.

Yeah I use one, as keeping up with trends can be challenging if it's not your main job-especially when you’re working a 9-to-5. For the expert, I’m not sure if I’m allowed to provide specific details here, but it’s a good idea to start by checking out options from reputable firms with strong track records. Also, ensure that the person you’re considering is properly licensed. I use Eckrich, Allen-Michael, and hes good I don't know if he's currently taking on new people
Time in the market. Your outlook is too short. Plan in at least 7-10 years
Thank you for the explanation at the end. I (and probably many others) found it useful.
I think you should talk more about the PE ratio. Everyone just claims that's a good buy because of low PE, but like you said, it's not enough to decide if the company is a good buy with a low PE. THANKS
29:28 hi! Sorry, Nvidia is growing earning by 112% a year. Netflix only by 16%.
NVIDIA's profit margin is above 50%, sometimes 63%. Net profit margin. How much is that of Netflix's?
So, yeah, I'd rather go for Nvidia 😅
It also doesn't help Ford that they've spent months trying to sell Broncos for $100k and Mustangs for $80k. Every day those suckers sit on the lot costs the dealers money. Horrible strategy that will take them many years to recover.

Hi Joseph,
Could you please make a video on how you do qualitative analysis on stocks. The quantitative aspects on Qualtrim are amazing. But how do you research the qualitative factors of a company?
He has a deep dive powerpoint slides with a checklist. Follow that one and good to go
@@seniorkevin yeah I know, the compounding video. Those slides are amazing, but I was wondering what sources he uses to determine the MOAT of a company. Does he read the news, 10ks, etc.
I went in heavy on target over the past few weeks. Glad you mentioned it
Yes with decent competiton, law of supply and demand works better unless they get together to set prices.Price fixing occurs when there are a small number of companies in a particular supply marketplace, commonly referred to as an oligopoly. These businesses offer the same product and form an agreement to set the price level.
*And great info ab fwd PE ratio and valuation.
Great video. Would love to hear your current thoughts on CP.

@@Nick-gj6je fair question, but I just follow the charts, since the big money should figure the details out and their decisions should be evident in the chart
@@morehn it feels like most of the market is chasing momentum. It’s a valid strategy for sure, I’m just not fast enough to play that game.

I disagree about your price gouging comments, but I think that many investors share your sentiments about that subject. It is a touchy one, and it seems to be effective at generating comments and video traffic right now. Ultimately, it takes more than a profit margin percentage metric and looks at supplier stock prices to accurately identify if price gouging is happening. Love the general stock analysis otherwise, keep up the good work!
Thanks Joseph. I follow a lot of investing channels and yours have emerged overtime as the one channel I most look forward to updates from. Keep up the good work!
Joseph, the retail companies are not price gouging. The food companies (Coke, Pepsi, kellog) are the ones that are gouging.
Damn Joseph, last 5 minutes was an absolute banger of a mic drop my man. Just straight up dunking on the haters, love to see it.
This was superb!
Thanks Joe
Solid picks for growth stocks! These three seem promising for anyone looking to invest in high-quality opportunities. Appreciate the recommendations!
I don’t think the retail stores themselves are gouging, but I look at the massive, record-breaking profits from companies like General Mills and Tyson, and I say that those companies are gouging.
Interesting. General Mill’s gross margins were 41% in 2010. They were less than 35% in 2024.
Tyson’s gross margins were 7.9% in 2022, went negative in 2023 and are near zero now.
People should really not listen to politicians. Do your research. You’re being played. 23% inflation in four years. But, you keep believing that it has nothing to do with how the government adds to the money supply.. It IS greed, but not “corporate greed.” It’s the politicians that can’t stop spending your money. Now, be a good constituent and make sure you vote!

Joseph, which subscription services do you use, like Value Investor's Club and Seeking Alpha?
Was in Arizona for a few days and the robotaxi Jaguars were everywhere. Saw at least 5 every time I went out.
The issue I have is, don't tell me we need to raise prices when the dividend has been going up for TGT 54 years- raised for 54 years not just paid. Have you looked into stock buybacks? CEO's pay? So really the prices NEED to go up? Utilities always get rate increases but 100's of presidents in the companies making millions, high dividends that are raised every year. ED=51 years of raising. Everything can be perfect for a company but once that is figured into the price of the stock what do they do for next quarter? Cut every penny of expense for any public company, what happens after they is in the price, next quarter or YOY?
Many consumer goods companies did actually price gouge, either by raising prices way beyond inflation, or through so called "shrinkflation", making the customer pay the same price for (much) smaller portions. This has gone so far that in Europe, a number of retailers actually went "to war" with them, banning products by Mars, for example, because they didn't accept their pricing.
However, I agree that retail is mostly blameless in this, due to the low margins, even if there are a few exceptions.
I really enjoy your videos. Sensible stuff..
In regards to price gouging, I would point to not the retailers, but the upstream suppliers such as PepsiCo. Their CEO was vocal in their ability to raise prices.
Great presentation!
Joseph, I would like to know your opinion on gold mining companies. RGLD, FNV. Love your content, you have taught me many new things. Keep up the great work, we all appreciate the hell out of you.

Mark is the best in the business when it comes to internet picks
Didn't an egg producer just lose a case for price gouging? In fact, did they also get found guilty of taking actions that caused addition price inflation which they then benefit from? Perhaps the retailers are not price gouging (unless they are colluding/price fixing which happens - see the generic drug market from 2010-2019 and the DOJ investigation). But the producers can be price gouging. Look at the price of oil/gas and how long it took for prices to reduce at the pump relative to the drop of the commodity as opposed to how quick the pump price rose when the commodity rose. Things that make you say HMMMMM.🤔
Hi Joseph, I agree with your safe investments. But if you have 5% cash you can invest in a risky asset, which one would you invest?

Hey Joseph, could you explain the difference between the different margin rates and when to use them depending on the type of company? Still a little confused on operating margin, etc
I currently have around $250,000 in cash savings and I was advised to invest it in stocks. What long-term strategies should I use for investments to secure my financial future?
The strategies are quite rigorous for the regular-Joe. As a matter of fact, they are mostly successfully carried out by pros who have had a great deal of skillset/knowledge to pull such trades off.
buy great stocks 100 shares each sell covered calls if you want a new stock sell a puts on that stock eventually you get called on that put and you'll own 100 shares of that stock and you got paid to buy it.. then sell covered call on it for cash flow easy peezy
The issue is most people have the "I want to do it myself mentality" but not equipped enough for a crash, hence get burnt, no offense. In general, invt-advisors are ideal reps for investing jobs, and at firsthand encounter, since Jan.2020, my portfolio has yielded nearly 300%, summing up to 7-figure as of today.
I've searched for financial advisors online but it's kind of hard to get in touch with one. Okay if I ask you for a recommendation?
I have stuck with the popularly ‘’Marissa Lynn Babula” for about five years now, and her performance has been consistently impressive. She’s quite known in her field, look her up.
The number of times you read people on seeking alpha quoting PE ratios when assessing whether they should invest in a growth company is ridiculous. Growth investing is not the same as value investing, where PE becomes more relevant.
PE is always relevant? If you're paying 500 PE for a company that grows 20%, you're overpaying. Period.
Was not ready for the gray hoodie today 🤯
Thx for contents ! 🙂
The thing is that people are either lazy to do their own valuation task or they just want one single ratio to tell them that. Do your own due diligence and then make the decision. Very good stuff Joseph thanks 👌🏻
Nice video JC
Alex UK
12:48 that's a dangerous line there. The complaints about fees are loud, you are putting a lot of value in people not being fed up enough to change their spending habits. Not to mention restaurants opening their own apps or partnering with other vendors to power a website
Joseph is a professional roaster. That was a brutal take down.😂
I only use Uber Eats. Never used DASH
Joseph, what’s your view of LNG? Seems like it meets a lot of the quantitative benchmarks your discuss
It's the manufacturers that are pushing prices.
Who says "Is this company price gouging? Oh I know, let's ask the CEO"
Lmao, yeah what do they expect them to say..
Can you explain why both WMT and TGT beat profit and revenue expectations handily after they started reducing their prices and providing more value to their customers?
The point of this price gouging claim was that the CEIs and CFOs of these companies were on record during their earning calls bragging that they had pricing power and were able to raise prices on their customers.
If the price of everything has gone up including their costs, would these grocery stores not be racking up loses or decreased profits?
Joseph do you plan to add portfolio tracking/analysis to Qualtrim ?
You don’t know what the future growth rate of Netflix is or the future growth rate of Ford.
Ford could exceed growth expectations and Netflix’s growth rate could disappoint. In that case, Ford almost certainly is way undervalued compared to Netflix.
Joseph you just rolled outta bed! But thanks for all of these videos and education
Uber: Considering that 1.9b out of those 4.7b in FCF are stock-based compensation, yes it is expensive with respect to actual cashflows.
Doordash: the company is not profitable. The company lost 560m in FY23. Then they add 1.1b in stock-based compensation EXPENSE, another 1b in accrued EXPENSES, some amortization and voila, cashflow positive...
Dear Charlie Munger, please rate these businesses on a 1 (gambling) to 10 (investing) scale. In doing so, if you could, please refrain from insulting anybody: the YT algo doesn't like it :)
Love it!!!
people can't afford door dash, they will be out of business in a couple years. People can't afford to eat out either
Thoughts on bullish viewpoint of Uber when considering TSLA also has a strong case for autonomous driving?
IMO I don't think that Waymo is ever going to recoup it's investment for a VERY long time, if it ever does, for one reason. It's methodology to solving self driving will make it impossible for them to ever scale it out to work nationwide, let alone globally. That makes it suited to JUST robotaxi's in narrow geofenced areas, which is going to make it impossible for them to tackle any other economic opportunities with self driving vehicles (which IMO are much more numerous and lucrative then a taxi market). Waymo is simple never going to be capable of driving you from anywhere on the East Coast of the US to anywhere on the West Coast of the US.
What do you think about NIO?😅
I am at the beginning of my "investment journey", planning to put 85K into dividend stocks so that I will be making up to 30% per year in dividend returns. Any advice?
I didn't know Joseph was a gangsta. Putting the naysayers in their place
I don't know about those smaller retail stores, but I have noticed that at Sam's Club that they raised their price of meat per pound. They also shrunk their ham, but the price did not increase. If the wholesale company is doing it, then why wouldn't the smaller retail stores like Wal-Mart and Target not be doing it as well. That is one point that I do not agree with.
now if only Netflix had content that was watchable
I also like Prime Video much more than Netflix.
Emily on Paris is amazing
I had it for one month and then dumped it. Boring. Peeps must have sad lives to spend time on it.
The issue behind comments like yours highlights Netflix’s biggest problem. The idea that there’s “nothing watchable” is idiotic given the sheer scope of the selection, but that scope means it is easy to miss things that would appeal to you.
I like Netflix
When are you going to start your own
fund?
Have noticed prices has gone up quite a bit at Target since they remodeled the stores which has been before the pandemic. Have not shopped there for a while, only recently started shopping there again. I like most of the shoppers shopped in Walmart and Costco instead.
Dude, prices have gone up everywhere for everything the past 4 years.
Mercado Libre seems to be the better choice compared to Amazon..., what is your take ?
Hi Joseph, do you see Netflix doing a Stock slip anytime soon? Thank you!
