My AMZN 401K and RSU's just jumped by factor of 20.
I'm going to boost my 401K contribution and add a bigger percentage into the stock [Reply]

AAPL
GOOGLE 20:1 split coming
AMZN 20:1 split coming
Or diversify between a combination of the 3 or just 2
Keep in mind that since 1/1/2018: 4 years
AAPL 269%
GOOGL 150%
AMZN 153%
I feel like Goog has the most impregnable market position from a defensive perspective. Amazon has the most growth potential since they're diversified, and Apple's attraction is mostly that they have so much cash on hand that they'll withstand a downturn well.
I'd probably just split it between the three. [Reply]

The one thing Apple has over the other 2 is brand loyalty.
I’m a long way from the industry but I feel like at some point the pendulum has to swing the other way on internet advertising. I mean Super Bowl ads have backed off, and that’s the NFL, live sports, tradition, the whole thing. [Reply]
Jim Cramer called her out and said she was like a first time money manager and was doing nothing to protect the downside, blindly thinking she is smarter than the market.

I saw this weekend that generic bonds, if it held through end of quarter, would be off to the worst 1st Q in 40 years. It looks like Vanguard's BND is down 4% ytd. That doesn't even include the fact that the Real yield is crazy negative.
I feel bad for people retired or close, I have no idea what you'd do. We have multi-decade high inflation and I think cash would have been the best place to be so far this year. [Reply]

Blowtorched her.
That's almost a compliment coming from him, Cramer is a fucking hack. [Reply]
