Is The Trade Desk Screwed? The price action of The Trade Desk (TTD) after the company announced its Q4 2024 earnings results, allowed the stock to drop 34.4% since earnings. This was the very first time in 33 quarters, since the company went public, that The Trade Desk missed its own guidance. On top of that, guidance for Q1 2025 was disappointing too. If you have these elements combined, the question becomes if this is a pivotal moment and The Trade Desk has lost its magic. On CNBC, Josh Brown, who I respect, said that The Trade Desk would be in the penalty box for a few quarters until it gains back the confidence of investors. This is definitely a possibility. But just like everything in investing, it's definitely not a certainty. If the next quarter is outstanding, investors will quickl
$Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ seriously the tariffs made absolutely zero sense to cause tesla's drop. They literally have their headquarters in Austin, texas which is their main giga factory. The other giga factories in other countries won't even import into the US when they have 2 giga factories in the US manufacturing for them internally.
It is shocking to me that in 2024, I had achieved a net 71% returns. I have been investing with Tiger brokers since end 2020. Definitely 2025 is not the last with many more to come. Onwards.
$Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ Tesla such a roller coaster ride. Never ever a dull moment with it. When the street was selling at 148, I made sure to pick up somemore. The only regret I had was not picking up more due to budget constraints. With a dovish fed and lesser bureaucracy in the upcoming trump administration, I strongly believe that tesla will continue to outperform in the next 4 years to come. If the stock shows any weakness, I would be sure to buy more. Once you are trained for the stormy weather, you really would know how to deal with it. The incoming shareholders have no idea what it feels to have diamond hands and where the stock is in no mans land when the company continues to deliver. Right now, maybe, people are starting to slowly realise
It's been a rocky year thus far. I wouldn't have imagined that I was so used to seeing red for 2 years plus and I was in the red for approximately 20k usd until a great reversal came and boom 36k usd in the green. This goes to show that the US stock market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent but so long as you have skin in the game and don't mind the temporary losses, you can reap much more profits than you could ever would. Just treat it like an academy, a training program of sorts to test if we can understand and simulate the future and if you succeed this academy, you can make a lot of money.
$Palantir Technologies Inc.(PLTR)$ Long term Bullish. Been in this stock since 2021. Where were all the fellas writing about palantir back then? To think that some even would suggest to take profits at this stage when palantir have yet to become a household name. Remember that the other co-founder is Peter thiel whom is the co-founder of PayPal. Betting against palantir is betting against Peter thiel and Alex karp whom had the best interest of America in mind. Now that palantir has become the talk of the street, people have come out to talk as if they understood the company? Come on. Where were you back then? All the naysayers back in 2021 whom said that palantir is not investible at 7 usd are still beating the
Better days by Justin timberlake and ant clemons. This song to me is special and teaches me the importance of diamond hands especially during 2022. There's a light at the end of the tunnel Keep your eyes on the road ahead But if you're feeling lost in the night It's okay to cry Just as long as you hold your head 'Cause we're on our way to better Better's ahead, better's ahead It gets worse 'fore it gets better But better's ahead, better's ahead Better days are comin' (better and better and better, ooh-ooh) Better days are comin' (ooh-ooh, better days) Better days, better days (better and better and better, oh-ooh) Better days are comin' (better days, better days) I know you've been kicked down Slept on, let down, faith gone Waited for too long for somethin' to lean on I know you feel lef
$Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ once again tesla proved that it is an investment vehicle designed to transfer wealth from the impatient to the patient. I have been holding this for around 4 years. Been through its ups and downs, swinging up down left right center. Despite this, I continue to be a firm investor in tesla believing it could solve level 5 autonomy one day, dojo chip being a reality and a mass adoption of the optimus. Every of these 3 are connected and once these come to pass there is no going back. If anything else the unveiling of the robovan and the cybercab had me excited of tesla's future and the growth potential that it have. There will come a day where tesla is no longer a car company but a big tech company.
Coming from my personal experience, you definitely need to have funds to serve on rainy days but at the same time, you also need to have funds locked in to serve consistent returns be it in the index funds, cash funds or high yield interest savings accounts and if your risk appetite is even bigger then you can choose to buy individual stocks but also you must not forget about the importance of insurance coverage.
