MSFT

Bill tried to sell MSFT to IBM for $3 million and they passed. How you'd like to be that regard?

2 - usually your bank will have an autopay feature that you can setup a schedule to send money. Or on the stock brokerage side you account will have the same thing to pull money from your savings/checking account. Each bank will be different, but all should have this available. 3-So while Oil, Apple, Microsoft are doing good now, if you put all your money into them and they stop doing good (Microsoft really did nothing from 2001-2015) you will not make any money. But if you do put money in an ETF/Index fund the has for example the top 500 stocks in the US stock market you have a better chance of making money, but not as much if you are lucky and pick a wonderful stock. So are you lucky or do you want safer/steady? Everyone has different investing approach. Find your own, by winning some and losing some. Plus like you said may of these include Apple/MSFT/all the big companies. You will learn to look at the "holdings of VOO" for example: [https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/VOO/holdings](https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/VOO/holdings) shows what % of the ETF the top 10 stocks are and what % each sector (tech/oil/retail/finance) etc. 4-Every government loves to tax. Search the internet for "investment taxes in Israel" or "stock taxes in Israel" or "capital gains taxes Israel" or "short and long investment taxes in Israel". Ask an accountant or friends or others who invest 5-I do not understand your #5 question. 6-The honest answer is to start young, put as much as you can in the investments. Invest in slow and safer (not the safest) methods. There is no easy way. In the USA/western countries all marketing/advertising is to make people spend money and compare yourself to other people (great for the economy, but you waste so much money or dumb things). They tell you to use Credit cards and pay 19% interest as long as you are having fun. If you can stop yourself from doing that and save that money instead you are already better than most people. I bought a sports car for $80,000 when I was younger to be cool, my friend laughed at me and told me "how fast can you drive that super cool car in traffic on your way to work, since you need to make money to pay for it". It has been over 25 years and I remember that so clearly. I would sit in traffic driving 20mph in a sports car on my way to work and back every day. If I had invested that $80,000 in the S&P500 today it would be $500,000 - [https://www.portfoliovisualizer.com/backtest-portfolio?s=y&sl=2EVpz0NRImKv4TaJL6w1LP](https://www.portfoliovisualizer.com/backtest-portfolio?s=y&sl=2EVpz0NRImKv4TaJL6w1LP) I am not saying don't have fun and don't spend money (don't be miserable), but prioritize the investing if you have a choice. That is also where automatically sending money to your investment account comes into play. Example: your paycheck is $1000, the day it enters your saving account you send 20% to your investing account. You live your life like you only earn $800. Don't give yourself a choice to spend or not spend the 20%. 7. Gold/Silver - I do not know much about these, but I believe these do not GROW as much as the GOOD stocks do. They are more to keep value than to grow value. This is similar with US Government bonds. They are SAFE to keep value. People usually add GOLD or bonds when they are closer to retiring so if the stock market crashes they don't lose as much. 8-You can invest it each month and not quarterly, my point is not to check and play with the investments every day. At $200 per month it will grow very slowly, so if you check all the time you might get discouraged. It is the long term race. 9-Sorry yes take 10% of the $200 (so in our example $200 is 20% of your paycheck, you would use $20 for this purpose) and use it for play/testing theories etc. This includes CRYPTO so your bitcoin can go here after you buy the $500 worth if you want to add more. -Other things to note is that here in the US some brokerage firms allow you to buy fractions of shares. So you do not have to for example buy 1 share of VOO at $469, you can buy $20 of VOO. So investing with $200 is easy and can be done. I am not sure if the firms in Israel would have things like that. If not get a separate savings account and move the 20% of your paycheck there every month until it is enough to buy stocks with. Good luck

but how much movement do we need in the stock for a gain like 200%? i think it also depends a lot on the IV right? his MSFT example shows a 180% gain on the leap for a 38% gain on the stock which is just wild right!

Apple is down for the year because fundamentally their core businesses are down for the year is the point I was making. If Google saw such contractions in Ads and Cloud, can you even imagine the reaction the stock would have? It would be a slaughter. Apple didn't see that at all, sure ER was better than some feared, but they basically mooned because they announced a buyback. Their growrh prospects are still pretty bad imo. They were down about 10-15% before that move, but so we're their earnings in the core businesses. If Google ever sees a similar contraction across its core businesses I think the stock would pretty much tank 20% in a day. For proof of this, look at the last earnings report where they tanked 10% off of pretty much nothing when their core businesses were all posting double digit growth. Yes, it bounced back, but that shows you the bar that Google has to meet vs other companies like Apple. Meta has a similar story this quarter where they got killed despite impressive growth. Not really complaining as I'm pretty happy with the stocks performance, I just believe this company is grossly undervalued and the $1 trillion delta in valuation between Google and MSFT/apple doesn't really make sense to me, especially considering that googles earnings are growing faster than both and their operating margin seems to be expanding rapidly.

Seriously at this point just buy AAPL, GOOG, MSFT and AMZN and call it a day

opaqueambiguity

I remember looking at MSFT and AAPl 20 years ago and thinking, look at those charts, they're parabolic, there is no way they continue like this.

bullrfuk

If AAPL keeps fading, it could pull the same shit MSFT did last week

TakeBeerBenchinHilux

TBF, MSFT went over $390 briefly this week. I was a dumbass and didn't get out before it went back up, but following you with AAPL more than made up for it.

happytoparty

What was the MSFT play?

Sandvicheater

Either Apple is keeping its cards close to its chest regrading AI so they can unleash and surpass MSFT and GOOG OR they're scrambling every engineer they have working the midnight oil catching up to MSFT and GOOG. If its the later then AAPL is in tight spot because the more popular the AI is the more user it has the more user it has the more the AI grows and it becomes a self sustaining improvement machine. As I see without AAPL formerly rolling out their AI to the masses, each day they're falling just a bit more behind.

baller1able

So I guess AAPL is going to fade like MSFT did after earnings

Dream-404

Pretty much. The Back Month expiration needs to at least be after the ER; so it can be on that day, so long as the ER happens pre-market, otherwise it should be the following day at the earliest. One thing to bear in mind is that the ER date probably won't have been confirmed at 40 days prior, so just be aware that you may have to adjust your Spread if the estimated date is completely wrong. For example CRM hasn't actually confirmed that their ER is on the 29th. Another option is to widen your bracket. You'll lose a bit of profit factor but you'll be less likely to end up with both Options on the same side of the event. It might not be a huge issue to tighten the Spread after the date becomes known. I trade a Bullish variation (OTM Calls), which makes this a somewhat directional trade. That said, I do aim for the breakeven to be below the current stock price (when IV expansion is factored in). However I don't trade these arbitrarily. Basically what I'm getting at, is that you should do some back-testing / paper trading, or simply start out with very small positions before you decide to roll out this strat, or your own variation. Not all stocks are suitable. this can be due to liquidity, availability of suitable expirations, or just that IV expansion is muted. Be sure to check out the historic IV30 chart on that website I linked. Some Stocks are simply redundant. There's no point having Calendars open on multiple Stocks that essentially trade the same e.g AMZN/MSFT/AAPL, or V/MA etc. just pick one.

InvestmentActuary

Exactly. This will reverse like MSFT did

businessboyz

They are saying rates are too high. As the Fed rate rises, so do things like treasuries. If you can lock in 5% for ten years….that’s not a bad gig given the virtually zero risk. Companies compete against that return when it comes to investors. If they can’t return more than the risk free rate via operations, and it’s not **a lot** higher given the risk one company (even MSFT) has, they can deploy their massive cash war chests to boost shareholder return. Technically, it’s their fiduciary duty to do so if they think that’s better than using that cash in other ventures. But right now tech is only putting money into CAPEX for the AI boom. There isn’t anything to buy or build that will boost profits meaningfully in the short term to bother. It’s all-in on AI and then just cash handouts to appease investors in the short term. If rates were lower their debt fund crazy speculative growth like before. But with rates high they have to actually grind down on what’s worth investing and that right now is long term infrastructure projects with a long term payoff horizon so buybacks/dividends are needed to bridge the gap.

bawtatron2000

I personally haven't held AAPL in years. Never held META either, I get the case for it, just would rather have AMZN, NVDA, GOOG, MSFT, and leave out META.

Androcles_InTheSky

Well. If u look at my posts I been here for only one week (trading) learning 2 years. And they all are plays for their earning reports. But I been following for a while. So sad MSFT is doing a bad impression right there in that picture. And no, no 0dte no meme stocks nothing of that. That’s just gambling. I don’t do that.

Antibody-Scientist

Yah and MSFT actually had good numbers. I think we see the fade into open as people take their profits.

WinningWatchlist

My brother in christ you should sell your SPY, QQQ, LMT, RTN, BP, MSFT, AMZN, GOOG, and META if you have problems with investing in companies with questionable ethics lol. TSLA uses the equivalent of slave labor to mine cobalt for their car batteries. AAPL used Foxconn as their iPhone manufacturers, which used suicide nets to catch workers that tried to throw themselves off buildings. META helped promote genocide in Myanmar because their algorithm spread messages of violence against the Rohingya people. I traded during 2020 and bought SPY when the market was selling off- does that make me complicit in the deaths of millions of people that died from COVID? I traded HE during the Hawaiian fires, does that put blood on my hands for the death of 100 Hawaiians? What about PCG's California fires during 2018? Or banks during 2008? Am I complicit in whoever committed suicide from the FTX crash because SBF decided to be the greatest fraudster in history and I happened to trade crypto during that time? I'm a trader, and I trade events that happen whether they are good or bad. That's reality. If you have a problem with it go invest in an ethical ETF and live guilt-free. The entire bedrock of capitalism is built on slave labor and cheap labor. There is no escaping it.

Dream-404

1. It's really not the end of the world if both legs do end up being on the same side of the ER. It's simple enough to fix at little to no cost. If you'd like to reduce that risk, you could be more conservative with your guess, and have a wider bracket; or you could just wait for the ER announcement. 2. What you call risk, I call opportunity. When I place this trade I'm doing so with a Bullish assumption. Being able to make money when the stock trades flat is just a consolation prize to me. Obviously directional trading can be very hit and miss, yet with the payout you receive when you're right, you can afford to be wrong fairly often (assuming you keep your trade sizing uniform). That said, I'm not trading these arbitrarily, like I might do with a strategy that capitalizes on IV Crush. I use these when I have a strong conviction that there will be "a run-up". When I started trading Options, it feels like all Stocks ever did was "run-up" before earnings. Perhaps a Double Calendar would be more suitable for you? That's not a trade I've ever made, and my days of back-testing strategies are behind me, so you'd have to look in to that yourself and decide whether it could work out for you. One more thing worth mentioning is that you shouldn't be playing these on similar Stocks and be expecting different outcomes. If a Calendar on AMZN turns out to be a bust, the one on AAPL/MSFT isn't going to fair any better. Same with V/MA etc.

First, inflation happens. I'm not going to comment on MSFT. I'm not an investor and don't know enough about the company. As for Amazon doubling in value. I expect in the next 3-5 years. That isn't even including inflation. First AWS is growth is still rising. Costs for new warehousing will substantially drop. Costs for transportation/delivery is dropping. Constant increase in product demand will continually rise slowly. A couple of my own predictions. They will slowly push FedEx and Chewie towards bankruptcy. Likely more companies than that. The governments (FTC) stated response to large companies failing. Will be to push mergers to prevent job losses. As employment competition and preventing job loss are now their stated #1 priority. Above market competition. This new stance should be beneficial to Amazon as where it will be hindrance to other tech companies FedEx with their fleet. Chewie, with all of their brand new massive warehouses on a scale reasonable to Amazon. Both would be excellent candidates for Merger with Amazon. Should they lose market and begin to fail. I believe Chewie is already heading in that direction.

big-rob512

Multiple expansion and then some kind of shock that basically reverts them 5-10 years in price, I think MSFT has another 20 years or so of growth with gen AI, kind of like with the internet but you can look at what happened to the nifty 50 to get an idea of what end game looks like for a large cap stock.

Kemilio

> It’s not like MSFT can keep dipping their hands into every single market they want, or raise their prices to infinity. Why not?

InevitableSwan7

Well ok in theory they can’t, there’s only a finite amount of resources. But it’s just not practically possible either. It’s not like MSFT can keep dipping their hands into every single market they want, or raise their prices to infinity. There will always be a market for whatever the company is operating in at the time but I just see a point where these tech companies return old school and start paying out dividends

Apple stock is off some 5% year to date and roughly flat over the last 12 months. Shares of Big Tech rivals like Microsoft (MSFT) and Google (GOOG, GOOGL), meanwhile, are up 25% and 37% over the last year, respectively.

Anyone have suggestions for a couple of good stocks outside of tech to ride out the next year or two? I think I’m currently too tech heavy—MSFT, GOOG, TSM, ZS, and (tech heavy) SPY. Only have PFE (healthcare) and PVH (retail apparel) outside of tech. I want to avoid energy except maybe wind. I keep seeing that financial sector has lots of potential but difficult to assess which positions might be best there.

There’s a niche market for old stock certificates called www.ghostsofwallst.com. You can buy old AAPL, MSFT, etc share certificates. They’re sold as collectors items. I’m afraid that may be what you have here… a stock certificate from 1970…

My options addiction began in 2019 when I made $500 on an ATVI earnings lotto based on a prediction that it would beat from CoD Mobile (before MSFT acquisition) I’ve learned a bit since then but at heart it all comes back to the thrill of gambling with earnings lottos Everything else is just noise

ConferenceThink4801

Have to remember that at $1250, they would equal or overtake MSFT as largest market cap. I’m holding 2x 9/20 800c to capture the next 2 earnings reports & hopefully sell in late August. There’s been a lot of volatility (obviously) but I’m hoping they hit $1000 after May earnings & then split. I think the split is the fuel that would push it all the way to $1250 equivalent by August if that were to happen. Would make me about $60k if that were to happen, but I’d be happy with half that.

breakyourteethnow

Become a Boglehead, future's looking grim and bleak. If you're this young and already making this amount, go 80% Boglehead and 20% whatever you think but I'd suggest going for the 30-40 year long game. Make the real gains only gained through patience and stick with reputable ETFs. QQQM/VTI is good mix. I'm really aggressive though and don't take this advice even though I should and am holding SMH, XLK, UNRJ, BITO bunch of outliers so Uranium, Crypto, Semi's, Tech ETFs if want to get crazy with it. Imo AI will feed on chips, idk what'll happen with crypto but it's such a small amount anyways, Uranium has 3-5 year cycles we're just starting apparently, and tech is the future of course. This gives me mega cap exposure like Nvidia and MSFT without having to pick individual mega caps.

Everyone starts somewhere. I'm self taught and one of the coolest thing around programming is that it can be a hobby as well as a career. Yeah, cloud products are really sticky and it's interesting what Hashicorp was doing with multi cloud. Honestly, at the end of the day, they are all kind of the same, but one one the benefits or Azure over AWS usually comes down to stack. A lot of applications are built on C# which works well with Azure/SQL/Typescript of Angular. So companies that are more established might stick with MSFT over going AWS, but both basically run the web more or less. I'm even invested in Google, but I don't care about the cloud business. YouTube is actually the most bullish part of the company in my opinion. $CLMB is interesting, since they are just basically middle men. They work with smaller saas venders to sell out to customers and data centers. They really have like no analyst coverage, always trade with cheaper side fundamentals (since probably no one knows of the company), and the asset return is crazy. Should be interesting to see how their quarter was, since they seemed to have bottomed out and we are seeing a lot of capex spending in the hyper scalers. I'm a sucker for a slide deck, here's their latest investor presentation: [https://d1io3yog0oux5.cloudfront.net/\_d040734dfd8e85ddf590abc7809877ce/waysidetechnology/db/849/8012/pdf/CLMB+Investor+Presentation+March+2024.pdf](https://d1io3yog0oux5.cloudfront.net/_d040734dfd8e85ddf590abc7809877ce/waysidetechnology/db/849/8012/pdf/CLMB+Investor+Presentation+March+2024.pdf)

Agreed. I also look at Nvidia in the AI sector the same way I look at ISPs in terms of internet. That old adage about selling picks during a gold rush, ISPs were the pick salesmen of the internet the way Nvidia is for AI, but looking back, there isn’t a single ISP in the top 10 (in terms of market cap). Who got rich off the internet? The companies that built on top of it, MSFT, GOOG, AMZN..etc. I believe the same will happen with AI over time, Nvidia has this initial lead, but eventually I expect competitors to arise, or Mag7 companies to start bringing chip fabrication in-house, and ultimately the gatekeepers of digital AI platforms will far surpass chip makers in terms of revenue and human dependency. I should note that I don’t trade stocks, I only buy and hold forever, so I have to be very picky about what I plan to stay parked in for the long term.

Meta and MSFT pumping

RealPrinceZuko

Continuing to hold my MSFT calls until I see it mentioned every 3rd comment here 

AMZN2THEMOON

>Like we have totally forgotten Amazon is a e-commerce business It's not though. Meta, AMZN, Google, MSFT all have massive investments in machine learning related products. E-commerce is how Amazon got it's start it's not how they make all their money. And e-commerce benefits from "AI" improvements too. Self driving massively cuts shipping costs

AlphaHarmony

could AMZN actually go up from here? Looks like it could be some MSFT post earnings vibes

definitelydonatello

Chances MSFT goes back over $400 today? What y’all think

Momoware

Because MSFT is like 2.5x the share price of GOOGL...

Rare-ish_Bird

Why are GOOGL calls so cheap relative to MSFT

chainerection

Jerome H Powell, MSFT is dicking up

ComprehensivePaint48

At least MSFT isn't being a total cuck this morning, there's some light in sea of red.

Rare-ish_Bird

Everything red except bank of MSFT, and ummm, other regional banks.

RealPrinceZuko

I need MSFT to have a +5% day today k thx!

PerpetualHillman

The fact that SNAP and DJT continue rising while AMZN, MSFT, and NVDA sell off is infuriating

HeiPando

Wait for the first 15 mins to confirm trend. Look at key stocks if you playing “QQQ/SPY”. Basically MSFT, NVDA and META. If their charts one of them about to dump buy puts and opposite for calls. Sell 2/3 before meeting and sell the rest when you want (active DNE if you want to dump in last 30 mins).

davidbigham

Every earning is just pure gambling . At this point , just keep buying SPY MSFT leaps on every dip

Visible_Ad_2271

MSFT fwd PE is 29 and Nvidia is 35, took me 10 seconds to google stupid.

definitelydonatello

My $20K in weekly MSFT calls are down 70% after today. Chances it goes back up to $402 by end of Thursday to break even seem sketchy 🫠

CarpeLivem

lol, gotta give you some hope! Last Friday, my freakin NVDA calls didn’t fill otherwise I would have gone $300 to $20,000 in a week, alas, shoulda coulda woulda. I wouldn’t play the pot stocks anymore this week, but wait to see Thursday then yolo on something like Tesla, NVDA, MSFT, META. Red or Black. Not too far OTM btw 

Expired-Option

Earning season: ASML: Low demand thanks to cutting off China, but everyone knew that sooo wtf 🤷‍♂️ TSMC: The AI demand is still there just not yet META: We met expectations and are still spending on AI…. Soooo wtf? NVDA: Pumps like a fomo mofo on more spending GOOG: Beats and pumps fuck yeah (fades like wtf?!) MSFT: Pumps like omg daddy fuck yeah (super fades) SNAP: Ad revenue let’s go!!! PINS: hell yeah Snapchat lets gooo!!! AMD: No one wants my shit SWKS: Apple fucked up a lot of things after Jobs died Me: why do I ever pay attention to fucking earning season
