  • Valuation of SCHG ETF

    I am looking to add SCHG, which is Schwab's Large Cap Growth ETF, to my portfolio. I like its stock mix better than QQQM or VGT, but then I noticed that it currently has a P/E ratio of 43 (VOO is about 26). Should I be concerned with this seemingly high valuation? Is P/E ratio…

  • What are your investment criteria for buying individual stocks?

    Out of curiosity, how do you typically decide whether to buy a stock? Do you rely on valuations (DCF, DDM, comparable companies analysis) or simply review financial statements? I usually go through 10-K reports, stay up-to-date with news, and listen to earnings calls to gauge management's expectations. However, I'm considering creating DCF, DDM, and multiples…

  • Stocks that outperform when treasuries fall

    Historically, stocks and government treasury prices were negatively correlated. Since 2020, however, they have been quite highly positively correlated. SPY and TLT correlation 2002-2019 was -0.31. SPY and TLT correlation 2021-present is +0.61. So stock and government bond prices have been moving together since the end of 2020. I've been looking for stocks that have…

  • NVIDIA earnings potential

    Hey, I wanted to ask wider community if it might or might not be a good idea to invest into NVIDIA buy cfds before the report and sell them after the market opens the next day. According to historical data, it should probably be a big boom and it should overcome the earnings expactions and…

  • Will IBM Save the Confidence In AI?

    I think that the recent pullback in the stock is a hedge against AI not having a financial impact yet as neither Tesla nor Alphabet has increased their business using AI yet (each for its reason: Tesla is a fraud, and Alphabet just has not harvested the fruits yet). But IBM was able to satisfy…
