Please help! I bought puts on AXP and SPY and the value is going down. But shouldn’t I be making more money when the value goes down? Is this a glitch in the Robinhood app?

I have AXP and BA calls before earnings this week. Feel good about both.
I was waiting to take a position on AXP recently. I saw the dip, Missed the dip and now it’s back to where it was when I first thought about taking a position… you may never catch the bottom, but you also may never catch the top because stocks go up eventually (or at least history tells us that). Just invest in good companies or a total etf and go on with your life.
I'd be rather concerned about the COF consumer given higher costs with what's going on. 2006-2008 that dropped about 90% and in early 2020 that declined nearly 60%. Obviously I don't think we're facing either of those scenarios, but that's definitely a stock where I would be careful if one's view of the consumer in the near-medium term is any less than good. I'd obviously be less concerned with the AXP customer but even that's not something I'd want to own if I thought there'd be any cooling in the consumer. "The experts rate it a moderate buy with average price targets around $263. " I wouldn't go on analyst targets. Good luck.
AXP might consider a rebranding in the future with how much Trump tarnished the image of anything US related.
So what are we all buying? I added quite a bit to existing positions of MSFT, GOOG, UNH, AXP, and the safer bets like VOO and the like, but I obviously didn't consult my crystal ball first as they keep dropping. I'm confident they'll pay off in time, but whats the current clusterfuck setting up to take advantage of?
I'm gonna get downvoted but why not just sink this money into MSFT? Or even AXP?
Too many to list, but the ones I see with the most potential right now for the price they are at: MSFT, RKLB, NVDA, ELF, EME, SOFI, and CELH. Others who are not quite there yet IMO and still have room to fall before they bottom, but on my watchlist: GOOGL, AXP, and AMD
I'm usually pretty bad with investing in financials, but AXP, V, and MA all look pretty solid to me at these levels, especially if you are looking for a long term compounder.
$SPGI, $MA, $AXP I won’t stop buying until they all double
Yea, it’s a little over 8% on VT. I added a few shares today, but I don’t see any positive market catalyst to make me jump in too much. AXP, Microsoft, and Google all look appealing at these prices, but I don’t see a reason why the stocks go up short term.
Assuming long term the United States starts [exporting more LNG](https://www.eia.gov/todayinenergy/detail.php?id=67264), making domestic natural gas consumption in electricity and heating more expensive, I'd say there's a few mispriced companies that either see no-impact or benefit from this. Firstly, alternative energy companies: **FSLR** is the largest American manufacturer of solar panels, and benefit from utility scale deployments which make up a lot of new energy generation. They are consistently profitable and their technology is more efficient in both high heat and high humidity environments than traditional solar panels. **NXT** manufactures basically everything in a utility scale deployment but the solar panels. They traditionally manufactured only trackers [which make up the majority of utility scale deployments](https://www.saurenergy.com/solar-energy-news/99-of-new-us-solar-projects-use-single-axis-trackers-report-10589804) and they're the largest player in the tracker space, but they are moving on to make the EBOS systems, junction boxes, and more to become a one stop supplier for grid scale solar deployments. **ENPH** is wrongfully beaten down in my opinion. They operate mostly in residential solar which is a smaller market, but their margins are phenomenal, and they are increasingly making money not just from micro inverters but batteries as well. Many utilities are moving away from net metering so batteries are going from a niche luxury to a must-have. [Residential storage is expected to grow faster than residential solar overall](https://cleanpower.org/news/us-energy-storage-installations-reach-new-quarterly-record-in-q2-with-5-6-gw/) As for something completely unrelated, I'd say **AXP**. They used to be fairly/slightly overpriced but now they are very much in value territory. Swipe fees on a large percentage of the richest Americans, plus annual fees are extremely valuable in normal times, let alone in a K shaped economy. They have some of the lowest default rates in the industry so they aren't as susceptible to recession induced spending declines.
Near 24/7 Instant settlement on blockchain, fractional ownership of shares and less fees (potentially). Same thing is happening with stablecoin. Visa and Mastercard are already stocking up on USDC. SoFi is the first US bank utilizing it. Stripe and a few other competitors like Zero Hash who rejected Mastercard’s $2 billion acquisition offer will have a fee war with AXP, MA and V. I’m staying away from current fintech.
AXP is a really good short right now.0
Why do some commenters here want a crash so bad. We've had three crashes and one correction in six years + multiple sector crashes. Buy CRM, MSFT, ADP, AXP, and BX if you want a crash. HD was in a crash briefly yesterday too If you can find reasons why you don't want to buy those right now, then you don't truly want a crash because you will find excuses not to buy good companies raking in cash when it actually happens
100% the issue of NVDA being shoved into everything. Trying to reallocate my Voya account from cash and every fucking fund does nothing because they are all NVDA NVDA NVDA. There have been decent rolling corrections for years. Currently, HD is down 11% and hitting a point it usually bounces from. BX is down 35% from it's Jan high. BLK is now in a crash. AXP is in a crash and MA and V are down 13%
I think now is a good time to buy CRM, MSFT, AMT, HD, BX, and PG. Maybe ES. BX may be a bit controversial, but the rest are good AND all dipped a bit so you're getting a bit of a sale, which is why I recommend them. MMM and CLX are in dips after recent rallies so might be good to I'm assuming you're saying you don't care about the next ten years but I am sure at some level, you'd be pissed if you lost $ tomorrow, hence I recommend things already down but with good earnings Actually making this list I realized credit card stocks are way down too, maybe AXP is a buy?
Bought today largest to smallest quantity AMD SOFI AXP AMZN
I'd advise against discretionaries at this time. It's just not the regime. That's for when the market is quiet and peaceful. People are hella conservative when market conditions aren't so great. Would advise going with the midcaps as opposed to the Russell. So something like IJH instead. RSPT and SMH aren't bad either right now, if you still believe in the AI infra trade. FWIW, I have existing positions in AXP/BLK/MSFT, albeit underwater. They're just holds for me. I've tried some bank stocks like BAC as well, but they haven't been so great. I might just give up on them after the umpteenth time of trying to play them. YMMV.
Thanks for the detailed game plan. But why me? I've been selling cash covered puts and sipping some of the dip. AXP, BLK, and MSFT. Thinking about LVMUY/BAC/IWM too. Tried to sell SVXY puts but no one bit.
AXP got retard strength. Does not want to go below 305

AI is being baked into many products and services - you probably just don't realize it. I think the large majority of people think of AI as mostly generative and physical AI that they are interactly with directly. But that's just a small subset really. Some of the oldest examples of AI are MSFT using it to detect potentially fraudulent logins (based on such criteria as location, time of day and historical pattners) and V and AXP using it to detect potentially fraudulent credit card usage (based on criteria such as location, past history spend amount and type of stores). These have been used for well over a decade. Something more modern/recent applications - GOOGL Waymo self driving uses cameras and LiDAR to "see" and AI to process the environment in near real time. Another one is law firms using AI to read through pages and pages of documents and in some cases drafting them to. It's not as though there is some "on/off" switch for AI and once it's turned "on" the floodgates will open and everything is AI. It's slowly rolling out in niche areas with SLM's(small language) trained on proprietary data sets. How could a "public" LLM be useful for the fraud examples I provided? It wouldn't have the data.
how the hell AI can disrupt AXP you regards? Do you regards even own AXP?
So AXP went down 7% because of a doomer “research” article? You shittin me?
Retards think this thing will replace everything. Fuck JPM, AXP, CRWD, IBM, MSFT. Shit Anthropic is going to be 1,000,000,000 trillion market cap company at this rate.
It's more the combo of that idea of agents using crypto and less workers basically hitting the payment processors. From the article Agents went looking for faster and cheaper options than cards. Most settled on using stablecoins via Solana or Ethereum L2s, where settlement was near-instant and the transaction cost was measured in fractions of a penny. >Once agents controlled the transaction, they went looking for bigger paperclips. >There was only so much price-matching and aggregating to do. The biggest way to repeatedly save the user money (especially when agents started transacting among themselves) was to **eliminate fees.** In machine-to-machine commerce, *the 2-3% card interchange rate became an obvious target.* >Agents went looking for faster and cheaper options than cards. Most settled on using stablecoins via Solana or Ethereum L2s, where settlement was near-instant and the transaction cost was measured in fractions of a penny. Agentic commerce routing around interchange posed a far greater risk to card-focused banks and mono-line issuers, who collected the majority of that 2-3% fee and had built entire business segments around rewards programs funded by the merchant subsidy. American Express (AXP US) was hit hardest; a combined headwind from white-collar workforce reductions gutting its customer base and agents routing around interchange gutting its revenue model. Synchrony (SYF US), Capital One (COF US) and Discover (DFS US) all fell more than 10% over the following weeks, as well.Their moats were made of friction. And **friction was going to zero.**
V/AXP/MA selling off because of that Citrini AI doomer fanfic slop is the dumbest thing I’ve ever seen. Markets are way overvalued and due for a crash but not like this.
Just finished vibe coding a Robinhood, AXP & Mastercard replacement from my mommas basement 😦🤌
Also, Top 5 Day Trades ya'll: PYPL $46C 2/27 5.1K% (also $53C #3 again for 03/06 exp) NVO $40P 2/27 4K% IBM $227.50P 02/27 3.1K% (also #6 for $222.50P 03/06) AXP $317.50 02/27 1.88K% MA $485P 02/27 1.4K%
I've owned it for two decades, and most of that is my fault in not rebalancing and refusing to let a lot of companies go. While I haven't calculated the dividends, when I just blanket look at the cost basis versus it's current value, mcdonalds looks like shit, even compared to other stocks that pay dividend like say AXP that I've also had for 20+ years.
>Wall Street opened the week under heavy pressure as risk sentiment deteriorated on AI-related credit concerns and fresh trade uncertainty amid the feud between President Donald Trump and the Supreme Court. >The blue-chip index was weighed down by sharp losses in financial names. A wave of selling hit asset managers after concerns emerged around a private credit fund managed by Blue Owl Capital Inc. (NYSE:OWL). The firm announced it is liquidating $1.4 billion in assets to raise money to pay out individual investors Apollo Global Management Inc. (NYSE:APO) sank 6.6% on the day, marking its worst session since Liberation Day. Blackstone Inc.

What the fuck happened to $AXP today?
AXP down -8% smells like a targeted liquidation of 🥭’s favorite economic indicator, the Dow, forcing the taco. He’s going to see the “800 point drop in the Dow” headline and ignore everything else. For comparison AAPL would have to be down almost 18% to have the same impact.
AXP down nearly 8% is tempting but naaahhhh
I guess anthropic is replacing credit cards! Down down AXP! 💃💃💃🤣
Americans actually had the lowest inflation, the most energy security, the least food insecurity, the most insulation from global chaos, the cheapest natgas AND gas prices, the best performing stock market (NVDA by itself was worth more than the marketcap of most of Europe or China/HongKong/Macau COMBINED), the strongest GDP growth, the strongest labor market, and the strongest currency by which they could use to offset inflation via travel/import. But folks here acted like we were the little starving fucking Gazan kids or freezing Ukrainian kids getting their limbs blown off by missile/drone strikes. The "vibe-cession" and "Gaza is SPEAKING!"^(notice how all those mofos disappeared day 1 after Trump took office even though shit got worse for Palestine?) Anyways: Fuck around, find out. Do dumb shit, get dumb prizes. Vote clown, get circus. Since we're WSB and not r/politics : I'll won't short the USA. Much easier to just short the dollar since GDP/inflation/devaluation/deficits are not likely to decline due to the huge national debt. Light/secured borrowing, go long assets, and diversify. SSO, UWM, VT, LVMUY, AXP, SCCO, SHEL, gold, RE if you can afford it, healthcare, financials, treasury notes or short-mid bonds (no long bonds), and the like.
No prob. Dump Lulu and look at AXP calls a month out or so.
Amex has been swinging pretty wild lately. Can make some money in calls on AXP.
GOOG, AAPL, INVE-B.ST, AXP, Swedish banks SHB-A.ST, SWED-A.ST, META
Everyone makes their own call with it ofc, but I just top up on the way down. The down last year during the tariff thing I bought more GOOGL and opened a position in AXP. Both worked out well. I’d have just topped up those, and other holdings, more if it had have gone down even more than it did. It’s like the example of the world’s worst investor, who invested a chunk of money the day before the dotcom bubble crashed, a day before the 2008 crash and then a day before the Covid crash. If they just remained invested through all of that, they’d still be up by a good amount. Past performance doesn’t guarantee future returns, but my view is that have we hit an ATH and it’s all down from here? Probably not.
Or just don't play momentum..... I've just been keeping my short note USTs around 10-15%. Extra money had been going into things opportunistically: energy (SHEL/CHRD), small caps, LVMUY, and select financials like AXP/BLK. Recently added to MSFT. Just don't buy what's being hyped by WSB. Remember kids, some folks are actually born with lower IQ, stunted mental development, and/or a mental health condition. But folks on WSB? You guys can CHOOSE to be not be retarded. Every day. Like just be ~~yourself~~ not retarded.
Index was down.... Looks at SHOP down 10%, looks at AXP down 1%. Looks at Adobe down 7%, looks at AAPL down 0.2%..... somehow I don't think it's an index level thing.
Thank you for completely disregarding AXP. I’m going to continue to buy AXP over V and MA.
I fucking love AXP and own it. It's a wonderful business. In the early 2000s Amex was my first credit card and I cherished it. But the GOAT has truly lost his touch if he rather hold more AXP than AAPL. https://i.imgur.com/tmFSXua.png He thought taxes would shoot up in 2025. Never happened. He thinks printer will stop. Wrong about that too. That's probably why he put down the mic.

AXP earnings and guidance are good. Costs are up nominally, which given the state of the world is quite a wonder.
AXP down, SOFI up on respective Q4 earnings.
For financials JPM, V, AXP, MS are amazing buys. BRK is on firesale. u/chainer3000
my AXP 360 call eoy gonna be a 2 bagger lmao
Thanks! I am very familiar with Apple silicon. I did internals on the Alpha AXP in my younger days. When Jobs purchased that group, P.A. Semi group, I have followed very closely. Thanks for the link. We can return to this when the implement and see who ended up being correct. It will be fun (snuk).
Should MSFT drop a little more, it’s such a no brainer stock to add to. 450 is the number I have in mind. Hoping for someone to fan some fire to get more of a drop on Credit Card gang ( V, MA, COF, AXP, SYF) to pick 1-2 candidates.
AXP has actually been good, but they are not just a processor they’re a bank as well though
This makes me bullish on AXP and JPM. AXP because their debtor profile is higher quality, and JPM because they can actually deal with this shit.
.....and AXP.... I lost quite a chunk of change
They aren't down because of interest rate cap. Earlier this week some of the other retailers tanked (ANF, URBN, etc.) after ANF released updated guidance which shows a lot of softening in consumer retail demand. As a result of this, ANF tanked around 20%, URBN around 10%, and a few other consumer discretionary stocks sold off hard as well. Along with these you saw the same exact selling happening on credit card companies (V/MA/AXP) presumably because big money thinks that the credit card processors will have slowing transaction revenues due to the softening consumer.
Which has the most upside out of COF, AXP, SYF, V, MA? This trump tantrum is a big ol' buying opp
I do like to find these stocks by filtering out ones that are close to their respective put walls. By this logic, MRVL TTD AXP BBY AMDL are good opportunities across less popular tickers.
The argument is more about less people will be able to get credit cards if they are capped at 10%. Also, the credit card companies might not be able to give as good as offers to those who do use them, for things like cash back. All this would lead to less transactions. It all comes down to you if think it will actually happen. I own SYF, but I am thinking of dipping my toes into AXP.
Great way to ensure you keep your money and sanity. I have sister. She's married with a kid so she spends her money on diapers. p.s. OP is right about the K-shaped economy, but a better choice for that play is AXP, LVMUY, DAL, AAPL, TPR, or BLK. Most of those have ran up massively already. One quick google search shows that Aritzia is Canadian which immediately means it's a meme and OP is just shilling his own book.
Agreed. I have had COF on my watchlist for a bit. AXP & SYF are great too.
Just opened positions that are slightly larger than starter positions in COF and AXP. Will do some formal DD on both by the end of the week. Both are gambles on the never-going-to-happen cap on credit card interest stuff. I'll almost certainly sell one, maybe both, within the next 30 days although I wouldn't be surprised if AXP ends up being a buy and hold position.
AXP seems to be one of those names that never gets stupid cheap or stupid expensive. Just grinds out 10-15% annually, with a built in inflation hedge. Like, it's sort of a perfect anchor position. Throw money at it when it's "cheap" and just ride it for decades.
This is classic TACO opportunity. SYF, COF, AXP have a sudden discount based on unenforceable edicts.
AXP might be the bigger opportunity. MA/V didn't sell off much, as expected. AXP down about 5%.... interesting.
The credit cap stuff is so dumb, lost like all the gains in SYF lol. Still holding and thinking about taking a position in AXP/MA.
Cheaper AXP calls? Don't mind if i do
I'd say markets are starting to ignore what Trump says. If not daily, not even a week and we will see AXP, V, MA... defense... up again
Great opportunity to get into JPM and AXP
My AXP calls are gonna take a big hit lol
Guess how much gap down financials on Monday. $V, $MA, $AXP. Time to rotate back to Tech?
TRUMP: WILL NO LONGER LET CREDIT CARD COMPANIES TO CHARGE 20-30% INTEREST RATES TRUMP: JAN 20 WILL CALL FOR ONE YEAR CAP OF CC INTEREST RATES TO 10% AXP puts about to pay
Was thinking more the lines of $V, $MA, $AXP, but I agree
Which stock is currently best prepared and positioned for a market downturn or crash in 2026? BRK? KO? AXP? GOOGL? AMZN? Something else?
