Looks how much Etrade thinks my OTM $BKNG PUTS are worth. I wonder if any HFs are carrying worthless OTM PUTS on their books at this totally fake, totally inflated value. Maybe this explains why so many massive OTM Put purchases.
Why are PUTS on $BKNG seemingly so cheap? Related to Citadel?

I own 3 shares of BKNG. Number of shares is only part of the picture. Imaging owning 1 share of BKR.A
VTSAX and chill. Keep holding my lingering, long-ago vested BKNG shares for another year only selling if tax loss harvesting is in play due to my current company's share price plummeting since vesting.
Anyone know of a website or a way to track large purchases from financial companies? I looked it up and you can scan SEC documents but shit is a foreign language... BKNG is up over 5% (over $200) today and there's no news except for the fact that around 10-12 big money firms bought a ton of shares this morning. Wondering if there is some way to scan for large purchases by multiple financial companies for one stock, so you'd get an alert saying 10 companies bought 10,000 shares of XYZ at market open.
I want to dig into BKNG, is AI threat super real or hype... seems interesting here
In my opinion, the generational winners will be companies with the largest datasets will prevail - GOOG=BIDU > APPL> AMZN=BABA > MSFT=META but there will also be industry specific players (like healthcare, i.e., drug discovery , possibly UNH or research hospital like MSK or Duke Univ), defense maybe PLTR, travel = BKNG, retail (specifically grocery) - any large chains with loyalty programs (they know a lot about you and your preference) or TSLA has more driving data, particularly for autonomous driving AI. I would also not rule out Bloomberg as they have immense financial data sets and how companies interrelate. I suspect they are already using it and being private do not publicize it. MSFT except for OFFICE has been a follower or acquirer; they were way behind on AI and is the reason they partnered with OpenAI and now others. They have an enormous amount of data because of LinkedIn, Office, Games, etc. I personally am sticking with Google and META as they already have large datasets on consumer personal preferences and searches. Here is an [old post](https://www.reddit.com/r/StockMarket/comments/13xempk/some_ai_apps_by_category/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) that may help with a visual presentation some potential players
I think you went too vague with your subliminal. Depending on stock $100 gain can mean nothing like BRK.A, NVR, BKNG, AZO. Should have went with percentage change if you not going to name names.
Can anybody tell me wtf is up with BKNG? They crushed earnings yet are getting demolished in PM

Intuitive Surgival (ISRG) and Booking Holdings (BKNG) have space to grove. Alphabet, Microsoft, Nvidia, Amazon and Apple will be fine.
These people don't understand that if you bought AMZN EBAY BKNG EQIX from dot com era, and bought 96 other "dot com busts' for 100 total stocks; you'd only have 4 winners and 96 losers, yet you'd still be up over 100x. The market cap of those 4 alone would be worth substantially more than the 96 combined at their peak. I was investing during this era and buying AMZN and EBAY and not eToys. I was also a customer of both during those times, so it's not as if they didn't have a legitimate monetization business. There is an auto industry - yet over the years many in that industry failed. Does that mean every auto company failed? There is such a thing as a brick and mortal retail industry - over the years many have failed - does that mean all have failed?
If you invested into Priceline at the bottom of the crash your BKNG you’d be doing AMAZING
Jesus Christ BKNG is destroying my portfolio again.
put is worth $10,000 now lol... i thought it was a panic drop but there is actual news. BKNG did the same thing today, popped like $200 up and then went all the way back into red within 10 minutes. Casino is in roulette mode
Why TF am I BKNG shareholder? Stock has just been burning money lately.

Fuck Tesla, I wish I put all my money into BKNG years ago
Anyway to resiprocate - Buy $7000 calls for BKNG and pick up a cool $50K next week if you buy 100. $3 trade
>But the reason I believe it's a good purchase: It’s survived wave after wave of “this app is dead” & still the userbase is growing year after year. You really need to take a business/econ/finance 101 course because ultimately all valuation boils down to revenue growth and the amount of profit you can extract from it; and not purely just popularity. Back in the day there was this company called Yahoo! (YHOO). I'm not even sure if the younger generations know the name. But this company was always amongst the top "internet" companies and everyone had used it for something - search, email, news etc. Problem is they never found a consistent monetization model. And they were left in the dust by other "internet" companies from same era who did - such as EBAY AMZN BKNG.
BKNG if you've got the capital.
Probably BKNG (though I didn’t but it, was bought for me with birthday/Christmas gift money when I was a toddler) which is up about 1000x. Next best is Apple, which I did buy, which I think is up about 25x from what I bought it at
One share of BKNG is over 5K..let’s not assume!
GE, CITI, NVCN before the buyout, BKNG
BKNG is at $5,584 and still no split. I'm not sure why $200 is some magic number for Reddit.
probably at least 1 share of BKNG
But does he still own the stock? Because Priceline (now BKNG) is around $5,400. If he had held through the crash and never sold, those same shares could be worth over $8 million today.
FWIW, 43 here and 95% stocks, 5% gold. Of the stocks, I'm around 80% index funds along with some BKNG and NVDA.
Couple of them actually. (1) I had about 1000 of PCLN now, BKNG during the dot com bust. Saw it come down from 100 to $1 and reverse split 10:1 I think. Was disappointed and sold at a loss. Would have been worth $1M or so. (2) Held 2000 of NVDA from 2004 to 2014 and sold for marginal gain for ten lost decade. Would be 20000 @ 180 today. $3.6M (3) I intended to buy 1000 Bitcoin at $3 and then 100 at $60 and then 25 @ $350 or so and gave up.
I told you all to snort BKNG puts but you keep buying with the institutions. You never learn. LMAO 🤌
BKNG earnings: - Gross bookings up by 13% to $46.7B. - Room nights up by 8% to 309M. - Alternative accommodation room nights grew at low double digits. - Airline tickets up by 44% to 16M. - Revenues of $6.8B, up by 16%. - Operating income up by 21%, reaching a margin of 33%. - Free cash flow $3.1B, up by 32% representing a margin of 46%.
BKNG needs to do a 20:1 stock split already jfc
What y’all think of BKNG??
You have to make that commitment to do the work consistently. Will you keep up with the company, financials, competitive threats, fundamental changes? You also need to understand how to value a company, the bull and bear cases. You can't overreact, but you also can't be completely passive and let a sinking ship tank your performance. I love investing individual stocks, but I also enjoy the work and the pursuit of outperforming the indexes. Besides a normal DCA strategy there are not many companies with attractive valuations, growth, profitability, and business moats that I would rush out to buy. AMZN, GOOGL, and META are probably the 3 that are easiest for me to step up and buy lump sum. I like the long term prospects of several more, but valuations are sky high. AXON, AVGO, NVDA, CRWD, fit somewhere in that category. V, MA, BKNG are solid GARP plays. They still come at a premium, because you are paying up for earnings predictability/stability.
BKNG has had lower and lower earnings for 3 quarters now but the stock is up 43% on the one year chart. If they miss it could be a big dump 🤔
Oh really…? Tell that to BKNG, or CitiGroup, or AIG, or MSI, or ZG, or SE….
The market capitialization of the successful dot com era companies far outweights the losers. A loser can only lose 100%. A winner can grow infinitely. AMZN NVDA BKNG (then PCLN) AVGO (then BRCM) EQIX EBAY (PYPL spin off) MSFT ORCL QCOM If someone wanted to pay large premium on individual stocks without the financials to backup their valuation, that's on them.
1. VTSAX 2. VTSAX 3. VTSAX 4. BKNG 4. NVDA That's everything.
Bought a big chunk of MA last week. And yesterday. Went down on the Stablecoin news. And bought SPGI couple weeks ago too. And BKNG.
> People who bought MSFT ORCL NVDA AAPL BKNG (then PCLN) AVGO (then BRCM) AMZN EQIX QCOM EBAY during that timeframe are multimillionaires. You cherry picked the most successful companies, which is super easy in hindsight. There were lots of promising looking companies that flopped.
Think of it. Hotel reductions, flight reduction, bundled deal reductions, oil SPIKING. Get fucked BKNG you overweight pile of institutional shit. LMAO 🤌
Puts on BKNG is crazyyy. BNKG makes most of their revenue in Europe which should see an increase in demand from the backlash. I would have looked at Expedia if you were worried about US travel taking hit. I'm looking at it today after the Israel airstrikes. A lot of travel stocks will be down big today.
BKNG would be good for travel escapism
The chart just hasn't updated yet, sometimes it takes a few hours or even days. Normally the chart will show "split adjusted" prices going back so it looks normal. However, side Note, I hate that a company who has made it a mission to buy back stock and lower the share count, has split the stock. Follow the NVR, BKNG, and AZO playbook and just let the share price go nuts. Discourage trading.

Excellent idea for a post. A few that I think are less discussed in the retail community: ANET, BKNG, KLAC, MPWR
the same people that can afford to bet on BKNG

If you buy quality companies, you shouldn’t worry about macros too much. Plenty of big name companies are up or flat YTD including MSFT, BKNG, SPGI, NFLX, V, WMT. Even from March highs, these companies are less than 10% down. So quality companies are not reflecting the negative sentiment that most investors hold. Buy and hold quality companies.
Potentially, but I don't think I'm going to play it. BKNG gave mixed guidance, pulled back, and is now ripping higher despite shit economic outlook. Seems like real impact won't be felt until there's a real call on a recession or something else. That said, ABNB looks weaker, but again, I'm a bit biased toward bearish outlooks. I don't trust it and others have pointed out that this could be a beat for them despite economic issues.
BKNG - "Management expects Q2 room night growth between 4% and 6%, gross bookings growth of 10% to 12%, and revenue growth of 10% to 12%, including a benefit from the Easter calendar shift. For full-year 2025, the company forecasts constant currency growth for gross bookings and revenue in the mid to high single digits, and low to mid-teens growth for adjusted EPS. Adjusted EBITDA is expected to grow in the high single digits to low double digits, with margin expansion between 50 and 100 basis points. Steenbergen acknowledged macroeconomic uncertainties but reaffirmed confidence in the company’s ability to navigate potential headwinds due to its global diversification and liquidity."
BKNG has a way higher market share in Europe so if ppl aren't gonna come to the US, they might to to Europe. Bullish.
Thank god for the slight BKNG recovery
BKNG fucking me rn 😢
Anyone else see that regard’s post earlier today about how BKNG is gonna crush earnings? Thought it was hilarious then and it’s even better now 
BKNG needs to do a stock split. That shit is comical
BKNG in the coal mine 
would love to play $BKNG puts since guidance will be trash, but holy fuck the stock is $4,900 and a single put even like 20% OTM is 1k lmao
BKNG calls 
My, some BKNG options are bigger than my entire account value.
Of the two the PE and value of BKNG seems crazy, especially if we’re actually heading for a slowdown
Calls on $ABNB and $BKNG, got it.
Do yourself a favor and look at the long term chart of VOO/SPY. Anyone who bought 1 year ago has a positive trade. Anyone who bought 3/5/7/10/15/20/25/30 years ago has an even bigger positive trade. Average annual return on SP500 is 10% a year over 100 years of data. That means on average you will double your money roughly every 7 years. At 4% it will take roughly 18 years. The differene is huge. I've been a semi-active participant on these subs past 2-3 months. I started noticing a trend. People who have extreme negative sentiment are that way because they don't have any long term money in the market. If you did, you'd be profitable and you would know the market has it's ups and downs - it's "normal". Because anyone in the market 3/5/7/10/15/20... years is up and have experienced big downturns already. Don't believe me? Just look at the chart. Why cherry pick CSCO from 25 years ago? They like INTC are no longer the leading innovators in their respective sectors. Why not pick MSFT AMZN AVGO (then BRCM) EQIX EBAY BKNG (then PCLN). Heck you just needed SPY from back then; didnt' even need to pick individual winners.
For now and the immediate future, I would just put everything in Gold. There are no safe bets with this idiot. Just follow Buffett, he has like 400 billion just sitting there unused in cash. He's either waiting until thousand dollar like BKNG and MELI stocks are down to about $50, or he's waiting for Trump to be gone. Or, at his age, he just might be done with everything.
BKNG has weekly options lol like why?
What do you guys think about BKNG. Year started off bullish, then they took a big hit back in march, recovered and got nailed by the tariffs. It seems to be recovering at the same pace as the market in general and closed approximately 11% down from its highest price this calendar year ($5,141 vs $4,586). For reference, SPY is down 13% from CY high ($613 vs $534). The tourism industry is going to get slammed with market sentiment, lay offs, and tariff retaliation. Unfortunately we have to play around a potential market wife rally, but this should be finishing below spy in the mid-term, not above jt.
It's 150 point intraday swings on BKNG for me
Currently still waiting for my price targets on the following: META BKNG TSM I'm still researching TSM because there's still uncertainty with Taiwan. But the valuation looks so appealing.
Again just proving my point. “Investing“ sub is more political than actually discussing investing. Politics aside this is a correction to a massive run up over the previous years which happens from time to time. Again, politics aside, anyone who does not immediately need access to their funds is as happy as can be. You’re telling me I can buy $SPGI at 10% less than it was a week ago? $GOOG 5% less, $CRM 11% less, $MSFT 5% less, $BKNG 7% less. They’re down because of what, less spending on their products in the short term? Fine, who cares, they’ve all got strong balance sheets, plenty of margin and can easily survive a recession. Only difference is we can now buy them for actually more reasonable valuations. Any REAL investor is being greedy right now, not whining about barely correction in the market. So yeah thank you Mr. President these tariffs are absolutely ridiculous but instead of crying about it I’m taking advantage. Maybe the “investing“ subreddit should worry a little less about politics and a little more about actually investing
BKNG (Booking Holdings Inc.) would be a smart way to play international travel. >60% of their revenue comes from European travel and holds >45% of the total European accommodation market.
I don't paper trade on investopedia. If the underlying spot is below your put strike it is indeed ITM. It is totally possible for a long option to be ITM and still at a loss. I don't know shit about shit, but a 30 day put on BKNG is around 18k. Either you are planning on having an absolute pile of capital once you go live or maybe use an underlying that isn't 4600 per share.
Interesting news out of Canadian travel Numerous airlines are slashing capacity between the US and Canada. From the points guy: "Future flight bookings from Canada to the U.S. are down more than 70% for every month from April through September compared to last year, according to new data from aviation analytics firm OAG. In April — typically peak spring break travel season to sunny spots like Florida — there are just under 300,000 bookings compared to 1.2 million in 2024." However, it's not clear that overall travel demand for Canadians is evaporating. ""We have observed a shift in bookings from the U.S. to other sun destinations such as Mexico and the Caribbean, and to transatlantic destinations," a WestJet spokesperson said. "We remain focused on continuing to fly where there is demand."" I'm interested to see numbers out of the Mexican airports as well as BKNG and the like to see what demand looks like.
A) It has positive fcf which is increasing steadily yoy. B) It has a fairly good moat (not unbridgeable) via brand + better coverage than hotel competitors particularly for certain segments (properties catering to families/groups; particularly in non-US locations). C) Revenue is also increasing steadily yoy. D) It was one of the hottest IPOs on launch and as such expectations for future growth/value was priced in from the very start. After 5 years it now trades in-line with primary competitors like Booking (BKNG) -- at least on a p/s basis. Does this make it cheap? No. Definetly not. But 10 years from now will ABNB exist and still be producing positive cash flow? Yes, likely so. Wildcard: I think there is an ez opportunity for ABNB to used AI to offer a curated \*specific to an individual's tastes\* vacation experience that other competitors (hotels) are unable to match.
Random thought from a lurker, BKNG, don't you think travel is going to take a major hit soon due to US consumer confidence? I know they are UK? based and EXPE might get fk'd harder and I realize they are both globsal companies but just saying.
Propose the following two portfolios: Portfolio 1 (mega tech) NVDA MSFT GOOG AAPL AMZN Portfolio 2 (share cannibals): AZO MUSA HCA AMP BKNG Buying one or the other today and not doing anything for 5 years....bets on which group outperforms?
BKNG, FICO, AXON & MCO paper value are bloated fantasies too
Alright. I set up a daily DCA for Google, Amazon, Meta, BKNG, and WMT using all my leftover cash. Hopefully this shit doesn't last more than an extra month 
If you’re looking for trade plays; I would look at shorting travel companies like BKNG
yen on a rally and everything after august 05 was just a big pump and dump. waiting for my puts on BKNG to print
What the heck is happening to BKNG
I promised myself that I would be holding 20% cash till the selloff ends, but I just spent it all on ASML, PYPL and BKNG.
TCOM is free money with shares/calls on monday ah. EXPE, Hilton, ABNB, BKNG all beat earnings
