GBA Presents: House of Gummy-!

Oh. Lol. I thought this was about what you wrote earlier, AI stealing your voice and using it to get into your accounts. Because I was gonna say--- "Stoney, if your phone's hacked, they can get a voice sample anyway, there's no need to worry about using the transcribe function."

A person in the know told me that AI can access your voice through the times you have left it on Business sites. So like American Express sometimes, the cable company.. There have been a few times that I have been prompted to say my name and it has been recorded.. power company...
Just that. That one little time. AI can run with it and create a message that you want so and so wired out of your account and just to check that ID please leave your name... Which AI will gladly do.

That's the AI side.

The other is this extremely annoying Apple function when people are too lazy to type and just blab into their phones and send very strange worded sentences out without checking them.

And just to follow up: the guy my wife was yelling about.. he's the sixth jewelry setter in a business that has alot of good setters and he has one dead arm and huge Coca Cola glasses and holds things right in front of his face-- so he's not really blind and one armed. But kind of is--> That's the guy that my wife's jewelry jobs was ending up with instead of the good setters.

Guys please! what drivel-- this is a stock thread. WTF are you talking about I have no idea.

PLEASE! An option idea now and then is fine but it is extremely boring and it clutters up all my stock calls here-- OK.

Why not start a thread over on Option section of ET where sleeping threads die?

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<TY>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Van what the hell should we do with SNAP? This is GBA's only loser in 2 weeks!!!!

ROFLMAO! It’s ok to talk about hemorrhoids, anal fists on dogs, castration? loveless life and health stuff and options are dribbling? Are you drunk?

The only other thing I can think of for such forgetfulness is you lifted the skull crushers too heavy and have a big bump on your noggin. Hypocrisy does not suit the Lizard God, he’s bigger than that.

I saw that too lol. Good job calling him out on it, you saved me some typing. Can you get him to give us the list of the "15 winners in a row", because all I ever see is ten stocks posted/day, and when one hits it instantly becomes one of his big money winners. It's like Twilio last week.. he queried aloud "is it a short", and then when it fell, it instantly became one of the 15 winners.

Exhibit 1:

What do you guys think of TWLO as a short?

I don't have any of my TA tools... hard to make a judgement.

I am utterly disappointed he wrote that, I was wondering if someone hacked his account or he lost his mind.

I doubt anyone hacked his account because remember... "I won't post screenshots of my trades because someone will hack my accounts."

Which leaves us with your other option, and I've been saying that one for a while now.

Did you get stopped out at $38? Oh I forgot, you don't use stops. Well it's still underwater... not sure how that factors into your perfect 15 wins with no losses record. And this is one you actually said you bought. Unlike the rest you claim as winners.

STILL CHUGGING! I'VE TRANSITIONED TO THE COUNTRY NOT SURE OF MY CB PROBABLY $46 AREA BUT THIS WAS MY STOCK FOR THE YEARLY CHALLENGE WE PUT TOGETHER

STONEY!!!!

You've lost the children more than 50% in a year with your "last year's yearly challenge" stock.

OOPS!

YOU REALLY CAN'T THROW THESE THINGS OUT THERE WITHOUT UPDATES SIMPLY BECAUSE YOUR OWN INSECURITIES PROHIBIT YOU FROM DOING THE RIGHT THING AND ADMITTING YOU F'D UP BIGTIME. THE READERS DESERVE BETTER!

NOT ONE UPDATE FROM THAT POST!

The good news is, for our new readers at least... (THE ONES THAT DIDN'T LOSE THEIR ASS ON ANOTHER STONEY EPIC FAIL STOCK PICK HE GOT FROM A WRITER'S PIECE AT SA WITHOUT DOING HIS OWN HOMEWORK)... I think it's safe to dip your toes in with a small position here at $30 on this sell-off. It could go a little lower, they always do on a drop like that... but I read the report. It's still pricey, but it always has been.

Buy a little now, (35% of the $'s what you want to park) and if it goes up, so be it. Buy the rest monthly using 15% of your allocated funds for it, using the 15th of the month for every month it stays below $30.

This is the way to build wealth. IRDM is not going away.

It's crucial to national security, and it's crucial to many Fortune 500 companies. Their sat to sat web architecture eliminates the need for remotely located ground stations, and their use of K-band is far more weather resistant, ie it beams thru clouds much better than the likes of Starlink using L-band. Less latency, more reliability, and 100% true global coverage. And it's US based, unlike several competitors that also use K-band. And note, their constellations don't provide 100% coverage of the Earth.

It won't bounce back real fast, but I think for the long haul, IRDM @ $30 is a decent investment. 1.1% dividend and share buyback in place. Lower interest rates, when they happen, will only help the bottom line.

~The kind of research GBA readers deserve... not cut and pastes of others' opinions.... Those only get you 50%+ losses.

-->And he wonders why I only fade his all caps ideas. It's called real work. And real dd.

Happy Presidents Day Everyone-! Market is closed.

I got an email that David has changed his S&P target This puts alot of pressure on me and GBA. As far as I can tell David was the only economist with a lower S&P target than me.

“Increased profit estimates are the driver of the revision,” a team led by David Kostin wrote in a note to clients dated Friday. The 12-month forward earnings expectations are at a record high for the US stock index after forecasts bottomed out a year ago.

Kostin now sees the S&P 500 gaining to 5,200 by the end of this year, implying a 3.9% rise from Friday’s close, raising his forecast from the 5,100 level he predicted in mid-December.

He initially projected in November that the S&P 500 would hit 4,700 by the end of this year, but the gauge has already eclipsed the significant 5,000 milestone this month.

Goldman’s 5,200 price target for the S&P 500 in 2024 is now among the highest on Wall Street, joining the ranks of bulls including Tom Lee of Fundstrat Global Advisors and Oppenheimer Asset Management chief strategist John Stoltzfus, who both hold a similar year-end outlook.

The firm’s strategists upgraded their earnings-per-share forecast for the year to $241 and $256 in 2025, from $237 and $250 previously. That reflects their expectation for “stronger economic growth and higher profits” for the information technology and communication-services sectors, which contain five of the so-called Magnificent Seven stocks including Apple Inc., Microsoft Corp., Nvidia Corp., Alphabet Inc. and Meta Platforms Inc.

The new estimate sits above the median top-down strategist forecast of $235.

The Goldman strategists expect valuation multiples for both the S&P 500 and its equal-weighted brethren to remain close to current levels — at 20 and 16 times earnings, respectively, “making earnings growth the primary driver of remaining upside this year.”

The S&P 500 Index has climbed 4.9% this year after a strong 2023, fueled by expectations of a dovish policy shift by the Federal Reserve and as artificial intelligence optimism lifted technology stocks. Profits in the 500-member gauge are expected to grow 8.8% in 2024 from a year ago, data compiled by Bloomberg Intelligence show.

I've got some thinking to do. I do not agree with the new earnings number for the S&P and this move concedes that the PE's can't get us there by themselves... That's up to debate but the end game their is a crash and we don't want that.

Lets take a step back and say well even if everything works out great from now to the end of the year I can expect as much as sitting in a treasury bond. That's not good folks...
