I think the key is that they were given an extra 4 days or so which is juuuust enough time for all the hijinks to ensue and wrap up.

The deal puts us in a tempest in a teapot situation.

My son just came in 1st
place in the Pennsylvania stock market simulation challenge.
10,000 high school seniors from accross Pennsylvania competed in the event sponsored by fidelity bank.
Each student was alloted $100,000 to invest for 10 weeks.
My son earned the top spot in the state by turning the $100,000 into 3.7 million by the end of week 10.

Thats awesome! the real trick would be if he can keep the 3.7mil after a year of trading. Gotta take some crazy risks to 37x your money in 10 weeks.

Fidelity should offer him a high paying job as he know more than the rest of us about picking stocks

Sold C3 AI at 50% gains today. The AI craze is big right now, but it's going to go in waves.

I clearly sold AI too early, it's on fire right now.

Anyone else thinking about buying BUD after the big stock dip? If it drops to $45 it will be tie it's 3 year low, that would seem like a great buying opportunity, I'm sure it will bounce back long term.

If you were going to buy it I'd wait until the next earnings report. If it dips heavily that day, then buy it. Any harm done to the brand I think would be priced in at the next earnings report. I doubt people could be more ticked off with them than they are now so they'd have no place to go but up, but the true measure of how ticked off people are will not be evident until once again the next earnings report.

#19312 10 months ago

I think Bud is in trouble. Lots of brand switch and with shit beer once you change you don’t go back.

I live in a pretty conservative area that was very Bud loyal, now they can’t give it away. Maybe it bounces back but I don’t see it any time soon.

Which is why I also think it's just a dip. People have a short attention span - not sure Bud Light will ever recover but they have so many more products...

I think alot of people did this, switch from one of their beers to another one, but that costs the company nothing. They are a big company with alot of brands, if one brand slumps, they will just invest the marketing money into another one. Bud Light has always been the big cheap beer at gay clubs and bars, maybe that's it's niche now and Natural Light becomes what people drink at sporting events, small town bars and buy cases of at the mini mart. Huge corporations know how to remarket their brands to keep sales up and history shows most of these boycotts are short-lived.

Since I live in liberal city, no one cares about the boycott, but be have about 2 dozen breweries here and everyone drinks microbrews anyway.

Totally agree... did a big marketing study on beer drinkers in this country... so much tied to brand loyalty vs uniqueness of flavor and other factors... I think its NOT where you want to put your hard earned dollars. So many other opportunities versus waiting forever for a recuperation.

#19320 10 months ago

So many better places to invest than BUD. Stock peaked in 2017 and it's been downhill since.

I never drank Bud Lite but wow - goes to show you are better off to stay away from marketing to any controversial group.

#19321 10 months ago

Looks like Meta and INTC might get a good bump. Also amazon..is now into health care coverage...I know the stock hasn't gone anywhere yet but it's just a matter of time.

I have a couple friends who have been exclusively drinking Budweiser for close to 30 years. I was home last weekend and all were drinking PBR. I usually drink IIPAs, if I'm feeling like a swill beer I drink Bush Lite or PBR. Yes I realize Bush Lite is an Anheuser-busch product. I don't care about the add campaign, I believe in inclusivity and believe as Americans we should be free to do whatever we want to our own bodies. I do think the company may have made a pretty big mistake long term.

I agree, AB seems more than short-term toxic right now, caught up as a poster child of stupid marketing. One thing AB was right about, beer sales have been declining for maybe a decade, with Craft beer, wine, and spirits eating away at the big brands. What they failed to understand though, was that through decades of clever advertising, the very blah tasting Bud Light took a surprisingly large market share, more than it should have had for its taste. I confess to not being a beer drinker, but the few times I've tried it, Bud Light seemed like a very average beer at best, and was usually a little more expensive in the bars I frequented. I think boycotts are usually short lived and rarely successful, but in this case, even a short-term boycott will give the average beer drinker a chance to try some different brands and a large chunk of them won't come back to Bud Light. Not necessarily because of the boycott, but because they found a beer that tastes better. Then we get into the flywheel effect, where it seems like the boycott is working, so it gets continued or grows due to media coverage reminding everyone of what led to the boycott in the first place. Given my disastrous 2022 and 2023 stock buying already, I should probably drop everything into AB and see if I could do any worse.

I was in alarm business and you make all the revenue on the alarm monitoring. The reoccurring revenue. I equate shitty beer to reoccurring revenue. No one buys it for taste. They buy it because it goes down easy, tastes like water and has a little bit of alcohol in it. Since no one really cares about taste, you mostly just pick a brand and stick with it. Until that brand does something really stupid and pisses you off. Then you switch to another brand and never look back because in the end it was never about the taste.

I don’t really care about the campaign, other then i am tired of social and political messages being shoved down my throat.

But i just don’t see this ending well for bud anytime soon.

STZ

#19329 10 months ago

Our research guys like STZ, looked like a breakout last year but fizzled.

Not bad in this environment, I wish is paid a better dividend. We hold STZ in a lot of client accounts.

Personally, I am waiting on the inevitable switch to Coors so I can drop some knowledge on him.

I do find it amusing how much TAP has been over performing BUD as of late.

AAPL will have trouble blowing through $181-182 IMO. Valuation is stretched but who knows... people are ignoring valuation again so could happen.

It’s above the Bolliger band now on pretty much all settings but between the new saving accounts Apple is offering and the VR headset demo coming this month figure it’s a good time all things considered.

As a buy and hold stock - it's absolutely solid. As an entry point today - not the best IMO. Stock will be higher in 5 years for sure.

I don't own any Apple products but my wife and mom own the stock for years also.

#19337 9 months ago

Apple up 1,101% over 10 years. Thank you Apple! Life changer.

281% over 5 years. It takes some patience on those time frames.

47% ytd.

New all-time high today. Think you can "time the market"? GL

Still misunderstood by many. This consumer staple/growth/value/tech company uses its hardware as the center of the growing "flywheel" of SERVICES revenue that is set to re-accelerate along with higher gross margins.

Over 2 Billion active users now their hardware platform. India will be another growth driver.

My focus over the next 7-10 yrs. will be to take some chips off the massive profit pile that Apple has generated, as it moves towards my $210 price target, and add to our second largest position in MSFT and other AI potential.

Instead of Apple just being the only "buy and hold" and "buy more when it goes on sale" stock.

I'll be using that same strategy with a few of the other "magnificent seven" technology names when the opportunity presents itself again.

In the short-term? Energy, materials and Industrials should do well this summer!

While we have very significant holdings in all of these names less Tesla, it's not healthy for the market for these names to continue drag the index up.

We are using this rally to trim off some profits in some accounts and rebalance.

We don't have to worry about dragging the index up unless that's what you are investing in. Market breadth is widening out and needs to if you are index investing.

The RSP equal weight S&P 500 is only up 1.38% ytd.

This is partly why this market has become the most hated rally ever. Energy, materials and Industrials look best right now for entry.

And this new "Vision Pro" from Apple. Wow, wow factor!!! Makes Meta's look like the 1980's.

Like everything else Apple does, it's freaking amazing!

Starting at $3,499, for what you get, it's a bargain. Pinball people should understand that.

Equal weight S&P still trending down this year. Dow transports not confirming. Handful of stocks driving the markets. Earnings on average trending down.

Got to be careful. Nice rally but it's not a bull market yet.

Sell some Apple, take profit and buy yourself a iVision VR headset. I'll buy a couple of Stern toppers instead, I hate those things on my head LOL.

Precisely. A couple stocks holding up the whole thing. Kick them out and put them on their own index/exchange...... the Trillion 20 or something like that.

Of course once China invades and we blow up the TSMC factory..... then what happens to all these AI stonks?

2. Apple Pippin
3. Round Mouse
4. The Apple Macintosh Portable
5. The Power Mac G4 Cube
6. The U2 iPod
7. Apple eMate
8. Macintosh TV
9. eWorld
10. The Apple III
11. FireWire
12. Apple Lisa
13. 20th Anniversary Macintosh

17. Homepod Original

Lol, yep! No i'd sell a pin or topper 1st, wouldn't report the cap gains. . Crazy that some toppers come close to that price. I saw an AS topper up for $2,700. No telling what a GB topper goes for.

Tom "perma bull" Lee has been right again all year thus far. Banging the table on FAANG since December when no one else was. His "Granny Shots" model is significantly outperforming the S&P 500 since early 2019.

Now it's Industrials, per Tom, based on strong fundamentals, momentum (IBD) and technicals, XLI above the 20day/200day moving averages.
