Stock Opinions by Kevin Simpson

SELL

He just sold it. He had bought it as a China and an AI play. Q3 earnings were decent with sales up 22%, but the market sold this off anyway. Then, research came out to say that their circuits did not integrate well with the new Blackwell GPUs. Shares tanked. He did a stop loss. He lost 30% on this momentum name. Move on.

RISKY
Coinbase Global

He added to it. Long term there will be profitability. He added at $280 yesterday. There could a more crypto-friendly White House. It's an investment, not trade, bit cryptos are a roller-coaster, not for the feint of heart.

Financial Services
PARTIAL SELL
Tesla Inc

Thrilled with its performance lately (27.5% the past week), but it's run too far, so he will sell calls today.

Consumer Products
TRADE

He just bought more JPM before the vote (not covered calls) and reaped the rally. He's writing calls now and next week.

Financial Services
BUY ON WEAKNESS

He bought more when shares plunged after the vote. Market trading volume is up 18% YOY. Also, this is a dividend play and they buyback shares. The past 3 Decembers, they announced a special divided, which he thinks could be $6 this year.

Unknown
PARTIAL SELL

He trimmed this, after buying it last month when it was up 100% this year. He made 40% in a couple weeks. It could go higher. It's a royalty play on mineral rights, natural gas, oil and water.

Is buying it ahead of earnings: they pay a dividend, buy shares, and have 10 million active advertisers.

Technology
BUY
IBM Common Stock

They report next week. A pleasant surprise, up 42% this year. They pulled it off with Red Hat and now with AI. 

electrical / electronic
BUY

He bought TPL because they own land, mostly in the Permian Basin, Texas. Is a royalty play on oil and natural gas and water. But shares are up 100% this year, so it's risky. Could benefit by fueling data centres. They print money.

BUY
Home Depot

Two recent Florida hurricanes will be a tailwind for the homebuilders for the wrong reasons. The right reasons are all these new homebuyers in Millennials. The best catalyst are falling interest rates. 2% dividend has seen 10% dividend growth in the last 5 years, but shares are a little pricey now.

specialty stores
BUY

The beat top and bottom, crushing earnings today--and they can still run higher when they use AI with their Da Vinci surgical products.

biotechnology / pharmaceutical
TRADE
Procter & Gamble

Eventually as they keep raising prices (since Covid), volumes will do gown. He wrote a $175 call against this, expiring in 7 days.

BUY ON WEAKNESS
Apple Inc

He doesn't expect their next quarter to be a blow-out or will push shares a lot higher. He's got a $250 call written against it; he expects a sell-the-news reaction, but longer-term he loves Apple. There's a supercycle coming for 2016-17, driven by AI. They print money and buyback shares. But shares have come too far, too fast.
