The only US equity I hold is GPC - Napa Auto Parts! If they aren't buying new cars, they're gonna have to fix old ones. Outside of that I'm 100% international and back close scraping my all time highs today.
GPC was the answer but then everybody got hawkish on TW
# India, U.S. finalize trade deal terms Mango has agreed to open cloth in exchange for $400 GPC.
Actually this is the response I wanted to hear. So, I did do some buying in Friday- NVDA, AAPL, DAL (I like them), and some other AI/hardware/software stuff and even those prices are still freefalling. I'm also picking up more cryptos today as it plummets. It's all a new type of gambling and it's eaten up far more $$$ than I had originally planned. It seems odd that both the market and the currency meant to hedge the market are falling at the same time- same rate. I'm not young. I'm invested 75% AI, SPY, various other soft&hard tech, DAL, BACHY, GPC, XPEV, various coppers, etc. 25% 8 top cryptos mid six-figure at this point, leaving me w/ low six figure 4.5% cash to live on). Also, I'm only on the 2nd floor of my building so jumping would be futile. Hey thanks for the response buddy. Enjoy tomorrow
Oh suck my fucking *cock* SPY I roll positions 6 minutes ago and NOW you start coming back to reality? Fuck stonk, fuck 🥭, fuck tesler, fuck VIX, fuck GPC, and fuck me too
People need money to buy cars, used or new Calls on AZ, ORLY, GPC

Noticed a price drop.. on Nvidia H100 GPC, from $40,000+ to $32,000. Hmmm.. Source: Lambda/ Microway.
The NAPA car is leading the nascar race. That’s not a good sign for me. I have puts on NAPA’s parent company GPC that has earnings Tuesday morning.
Mainly AUR, GPC, and NVO. I took a good profit from AUR last year but it hasn't moved as much as I thought it would by now. Wouldn't mind buying in again if it gets down around $5. GPC I thought would fall more on tariff announcement but it is what it is. Trading a little higher than the 5Y right now. Hard to say if this is a buy yet or not. NVO was fairly resilient to tariff announcement and also to Trump Greenland shit. Seems to me like fewer interesting buys nowadays compared to a few months ago.
GPC unless they get an exemption. Will be a good time to buy in to all sorts of stuff.
Last couple weeks I added another 250 shares of NVO. May buy more XOM next after earnings. GPC might also be a good buy soon.
Azure growth rate is same as GPC, but the absolute numbers are higher. The math says they aren't catching up to Azure any time soon mate.
The need for never ending growth by cutting necessary expenses. I’m seeing this at my company too. I work for GPC.
Absolutely: Genuine Parts Company (GPC) is under significant downward pressure following a 19% drop due to disappointing Q3 earnings and lowered full-year guidance, primarily impacted by challenges in its industrial segment. The technical indicators are bearish, with the RSI deeply oversold at 11.45, suggesting potential for further decline. The MACD histogram is negative, reinforcing the bearish sentiment. Given the broader market's cautious optimism, GPC's divergence from sector peers like AutoZone and O'Reilly Automotive highlights its vulnerability. For today's session, consider shorting GPC with an entry around $113.50. Target the first price at $110.00 and a second target at $107.00, setting a stop loss at $115.00. Confidence in reaching the first target is high due to the strong bearish momentum, while the second target carries moderate confidence given potential volatility.
Why the fk wasn’t GPC in this list
GPC - Genuine Parts. I think it is overreacting. Not so bad results to go down 18%. If I owned the stock I would not sell. Any way, it has dropped in the past so sharply and it recovered in the next day by a big percentage. GL to those who own it.
🐮 PM (+2.22%); 🐻 MMM (+2.05%, still riding down); didn't jump on GPC; 🐻 CAKE (+2.15%, but I entered and exited late); missed my entry on LOGI; 🐮 KMB (+0.37%, I got shaken out when she faded, and didn't re-enter); 🐮 IRTC (+3.96%, still holding); 🐻 MLI (-0.16%, she juked on me, and I was busy on the other plays, so I missed her bullish reversal).
🎰 I'm hunting PM, MMM, GPC. And second priority, CAKE, LOGI, KMB, IRTC, and MLI. Both sides.
GPC dumping. Nobody has money to fix their cars.
The smaller companies will use AWS/GPC/Azure or some other LLM provider, and augmenting as needed to the cloud.
A GPC in there would be a nice touch
I'm in the midwest and it seems like GPC has been buying a lot of successful chains around me. (My customers) I'm NOT a stock guy, but my feeble brain thought well they have money (Or have resources to raise the capital) to make acquisitions. Might make their revenue look like poo.
This is an interesting DD. I have been long on GPC for years (shares) due to their consistent earnings growth. I wouldn’t say this play has paid off but my underlaying thesis is still happening so I haven’t changed my position. If you believe their guidance then AAP has a forward PE of 18 while GPC has 14. It seems like a long strategy here would prefer GPC however I do understand your thesis which is at a much higher and shorter term risk level. I certainly would not recommend a short term strategy on GPC.
To preface, I am up 23/24% this year. this portfolio has done a 5% to 48% increase in value since 2018. After reading every book under the sun and finishing my education I decided to trim VFV to make up my own portfolio and never looked back. Nonetheless I know there are tons of much better/brilliant mind around this sub and I'd love to hear some insight. My main portfolio is all bonds, where the interest are sent between my 2 portfolios.

Bump… well it did take a shit! I didn’t think it would dump as much as it is. GPC and AAP may be worth holding actual shares at this point. With a recent shake up at AAP with the announced sale of Worldpac and Carquest Canada… there might be some profits to be had!

What are some opinions on Auto Parts stocks? I like AZO but am curious about AAP, ORLY, and GPC.
Gay stuff like SPY500 and a little QQQ, some defense stocks like Northrup and Raytheon, CPB Campbell Soup Co, MDLZ Mondelez, good chunk of Microsoft, Intel, some US natural gas OKE and OGS, Delta Airlines, GPC Genuine Parts Co, big chunk of 2 year T-Bills paying 5.1% interest, and some OTM puts that expire in Dec on NVDA and AMD because I can't stop being a bear.
Don’t get me wrong. Im working in the private cloud field and I love Microsoft’s Business strategy. Everyone and their mother is selling their souls for the convenience of enterprise msft products. But with that said AWS/GPC and azure are very different products from a technical perspective and fit different roles. Do I don’t see any of them vanish anytime soon
They moved suppliers on core product categories to private label. Margins are better, but they underestimated how much the pro shops actually care about what parts they put in cars. They’re losing market share and having to take down price to compete, but looks like they’re doubling down on the strategy. They tried it before and it failed. There’s a reason ORLY, AZO, and GPC haven’t done the same even when you can squeeze and extra few %. AAP has been a shitshow for years. Grew through too many acquisitions too fast and have had to make long expensive investments in integrating supply chains. At the end of the day, auto parts is about having the part available the fastest at a reasonable price. Shops want to turn bays as fast as possible and don’t want customers coming back when parts fail
Checking in 120 days later… my put thesis was too early on GPC but fundamentals seem to suggest it is going to go back up! I am going to review CALLS this morning at Market Open. Sales are strong, we are in the traditional slow times of February/March. Tire season is around the corner and I think we are going to have a 20% positive correction. For those following the industry UNS.TO (Uniselect) was just purchased by LKQ and recently saw a good spike in share price… LKQ May really shake up this company for better or worse. I will need to do more research
Nope. They run on Azure, GPC or AWS. Selling SaaS security is one of the main concerns and selling points. Cannot do that if your hosting service isn’t trusted.
I'm 61 and retired. Living off nothing but investments as of this year. I have a portfolio of $1,877,611. That is $1.8 M. My yield in 2022/23 is $71,544. From Jan 1, 2023 until Feb 13, 2023 it was .88% (appx 8% annually). LOW for what it has been, but acceptable nowadays. I have 40% in short-term CDs (sold my loser 2022 stocks) and some MLPs, some BDCs, REITS, some ETFs like JEPI, SCHD, etc and finally some great stocks like GPC, JNJ, and MRK. This far I haven't touched my assets. I made sure I bought a new (used) pre-certified Honda just before I retired, so I have an extra 2 year warranty on top of the Honda 3 original. My condo is paid for, as is my car. I live a semi-frugal lifestyle, but I do travel a LOT, internationally, using frequent flyer miles from credit card churning. Save on international flights by cruising off-season on repositioning cruises...3 weeks from Barcelona to Brazil, for example, stopping enroute at various ports to sightsee, all meals paid, under $1200 includes tax tip everything. Or, Seattle to Thailand, off-season. AirBnb in people's homes; I've met some great folks. My biggest expense is health insurance since I'm too young for Medicare and I'm not collecting Social Security yet. Can it be done? Yes, I'm doing it. Are most folks as financially watchful as I am? Absolutely not. I'd share a screenshot of my portfolio, but I can't see a way to do it here. Also, there's a former asset manager/stockbroker/Financial Advisor, Chip Stites of The Laughing Retirement (see YouTube for his free videos) who explains how to do this, put together a portfolio where you don't have to draw down on the principal, or not much, at least. He gives a lot of help in how to DIY your own portfolio. His methods really are working for me and others who are also using his strategy (sister, BIL, and now my elderly parents). But again, you have to be motivated and incredibly self-honest about how to live within your means.
They actually do that in purpose so hedge funds don’t punt it around! Lots of funds like to play the ORLY,AAP,AZO (and GPC to a lesser extent) pair trades. Making the stock illiquid makes it harder to trade around and the idea is to build a longer term focused shareholder base
I in no way consider myself an expert but I’ve done ok through the volatility of the last few years. If you’re ready to play the long game try index funds and be ready to sit tight for years to weather the ups and downs of the market. Alternatively you could invest in some tried and true dividend stocks, be sure to set your earnings to reinvest- again for the long game; the solid dividend stocks generally don’t change much in share value but qtrly or some monthly you have earnings. A couple I’ve done well on are GPC, VZ, and O- all 3 I bought on a dip.
I feel like GPC is going to have a correction in q2 because of inflation making the $ look great but unit sales are down overall
Mesa Trust, GPC, Thungela (fairly new dividend so watch it)
I posted about GPC calls in 2023 q2. With the drop recently from AAP is anyone else watching the auto parts sector
Antiques, Art, Classic cars, Gold, Real Estate are all ponzi schemes? Buying stock or any other investment to earn equity to cash in on later is not in itself a ponzi scheme. Look at 5 and 10 year run on stocks AZO, ORLY, GPC, FIVE or DG. All have given shareholders lots of equity growth (me) and some cashing in now during retirement. All great business models. Not a Ponzi scheme. Maybe you have a different definition of Intrinsic Value IV=(S-K)?
GPC chart alone should say buy. But yes. Buy GPC
There’s legislation in the works for the « right to repair » . They have to share info on how to fix their cars. So they also have to sell their parts. GPC is looking to ink a deal where they are the sole distributors of all EV auto parts
No parent company is GPC
$GPC market cap would need to rise to over $600billion to have a higher share price than $AZO. Whatever this guy is pushing, that specific statement doesn't pass the smell test.
GPC and UAP are parts providers for automotive. NexDrive is owned by NAPA. NAPA is owned by GPC. And NexDrive is concept of providing services for EV/Hybrid.
So we buy GPC? Someone please confirm, as I also am much regarded
For anyone looking, from my very very quick research while The kettle boiled, here is my deciphering. NexDrive seems to be a servicing point for EVs using existing garage infrastructure (? Might need some more info on that actual product) UAP are looking to roll out the NexDrive system using the NAPA network of stores starting soon. GPC own NAPA. It appears that OP works for UAP so there’s a hint at insider knowledge. Do what you will, I will personally be doing more research into GPC.
Sir I am very regarded. Buy GPC?
Genuine Parts Company (GPC) filed patent application for NEXDRIVE. It’s for the distribution of EV/Hybrid auto parts.
AAP with another drop today! These are going to become interesting times! Looking forward to Q4 GPC postings once they become available
GPC isn't just in automotive. They have an industrial supply arm that's been growing rapidly. I didn't see you list any financials, bad play
>I think that GPC is a good company, but I believe that their stock will decline in the second quarter after earnings are reported. The reason for this is because inflation is keeping profits looking positive when sales overall for everyone are likely down on a per unit analysis. This will cause a decline in sales when competing with the likes of Autozone ($AZO) or Advanced Auto Parts.
Unfortunately, things might not get better. Feds are not going to stop increasing interest rates to stop inflation, and stock prices might go down. My portfolio (while its a simulator) has ADM, AZO, CI, EOG, GPC, and ORLY. 1% gain today 😐. Used finviz to find stable trending stocks.
GPC was nothing more than the consideration that because car buying has been so difficult/expensive it stands to reason that repairing vehicles could see a boost. I was slow to pull the trigger on it, started considering in January. But ultimately made its way in. HAL, I've traded this one a few times and when it fell into the low 20s I just saw that as oversold. It was trading at something like 1.5 book value at that point so I opened a position. In today's environment I'm happy to take 10% gains and move on. Everything opened since beginning of October is in that range so I'll be closing a lot I imagine.
>HAL and GPC Thanks for sharing. Never looked into those 2 companies. What made you want to buy them now or not long before? Yeah GOOGL can be a cornerstone of a retirement portfolio
I'm buying VOO/VTI at a greater pace than I am individual stocks but I am still buying GOOGL and plan to continue. For more short term pays I've been buying things like HAL and GPC, both of which are up over 10% since I started buying so I'll likely sell soon.
Look up GPC. To post record profits this quarter. Projected even better next quarter.

https://www.investopedia.com/terms/d/dividend.asp Dividends have three key dates: declaration, record (related to ex-date), and payment. On the declaration, the company is announcing the amount of dividend they will be paying per share. For example, Realty Income Corp (O), declared a dividend of .2475 on 8/16. The record date will be 9/1/22 - this is the day that O will actually record all the shares due a dividend. Ex-dates are typically one business day before the record date, and if you purchase a stock on it's ex-date (or after), you will not get a dividend for the upcoming payment period. The payment date for O was listed as 9/15/22. This is the date you will actually get your dividend. You can receive dividends in cash or have them reinvested through what is called a DRIP (dividend reinvestment plan) which will take your dividend and automatically reinvest it into the company that paid you at the current market price of the stock. Dividends can be qualified or unqualified. This is tax implications - google for more information. Dividends can be a good way to build passive income, but be mindful of how you got about it. A good strategy for dividends is to invest with them in something like a ROTH IRA where dividend contributions will be tax free. Also, a dividend with a very high yield is typically a company that has a very high amount of risk. There are some legacy players like VZ, T, Altria, and oil companies that have very high yields, but consider the current economic environment as it relates to some of these companies. Dividends are not guaranteed and in times of economic distress can be cut. If you're looking to invest in a company that has a dividend yield, I would look at their payout history and possibly just refer to the lists of dividend kings and aristocrats - companies that have increased their payout annually for like 50 years minimum. A lot of these are legacy corps like Pepsi, United Health, Coke, etc. but they are mature, stable, and very unlikely to lose all your principle relative to something like an mREIT that has a lot of risk relative to market conditions. Most dividend stocks I invest in have yields of 2.5% to 4% (UL, KO, PEP, GPC, O, PFE, etc).
GPC came across my screener the other day. They just had a great quarter and have been having a great run. I need to do some more research, but seems like a really solid investment.
All auto part companies. I like GPC personally, nice dividend
Sorry boys, neither of those are in the budget anymore. You get GPC and E&J
Add GPC (napa) as well. I keep wanting to invest, but those guys seem like such close competitors I can’t pick one. Great biz, one that can’t be “Amazoned” away.
Autozone, BWA, DHI, DRI, GPC, HRB, …….etc have all done well through historically weak “risk off” periods. You may be right in saying many discretionary stocks are to be shorted here, but you need to understand how institutional fund managers manage money, many of them only manage one sector, so for every sector there are managers that will look for stocks within their sector that are more recession resistant or growth oriented than others and will buy them and sell or short the others. If you can identify the stocks within each sector that qualify as those these managers will chose in a bad stock environment, you’ll do well. I’ve managed money for over two decades at large institutions, understanding money flow is probably the most important factor of investing, and this concept is the largest.
Throw some GPC and PRTS in there why don’t ya?!
Not bad. I’m taking: Alpha-GPC Lion’s mane Phosphatidylserine Rhodiola rosea Uridine monophosphate DHA/EPA Picamilon Ginkgo biloba Blueberry anthocyanins Match’s tea
SWBI, BABA, BBY, GPC, SHW, CINF, and INTC are all undervalued right now IMO.
GPC acquisition of kamn is a huge deal. They bought out their subsidiaries (motion ind) biggest competitor. Stable company with a huge acquisition means calls go brrrrrr
So I use Schwab for trading. If your account is over $25k you can day trade and there is still a limit but I have yet to reach mine. Their charts and data are ok, I get live quotes but also have a Bloomberg terminal. For options the OMON, GPC and MOV functions are a place to start. But I realize that’s not for everyone either.
Thank you. This thing is a no brainer as a legitimate investment. There have been 3-4 auto aftermarket IPOs in the last year (Driven Brands, Mister Car Wash, etc.) that have all been killing it. Market is massive and very very fragmented (a lot of space for everyone to grow into). If you want to read more, look at earnings for the "big 4" retailers last 2-3 quarters (ORLY, AAP, AZO, GPC). All crushing it and appreciating nicely despite being $20+ billion market cap companies that are thought of as sleepy / no-to-low growth. People are driving more, flying less, chip shortage means fewer new cars, so more used cars and average age of vehicles continues to increase (which translates to more aftermarket spend as they break down more often).
I put 3% of my portfolio in GPC. My dad has owned a small town NAPA store for 30 years, so there are personal reasons for my choice. But aside from my personal link, GPC is a dividend aristocrat, having increased dividend for more than 30 years straight. The annual dividend yield now is near 3%, even with the stock up this year. GPC is the parent of NAPA Auto Parts, the largest US auto parts conglomerate with additional international operations. Most stores, like my dad's, are franchises, but there are a fair number of company owned stores. NAPA is only one spoke of the GPC wheel. They also operate in sectors such as industrial pumps and equipment, and their distribution operation is one of the largest in the country. If the economy goes sour, people will repair their old vehicles instead of buying newer. If the economy remains strong, trucking and industries such as farming will operate larger fleets. The world needs auto parts either way. To me it's similar logic to other blue chip dividend stocks: people are always going to drink KO, they'll need their JNJ prescriptions, and will buy wipers and brakes from GPC to wrench on their cars. Like I said, I have a personal connection. But for me this will be a stock with low risk that should continue steady returns and dividends for a long time.
Same with GPC for the last 60 years.

Are you holding GPC? It's 122.50
Lol TSM is Saudi run through Taiwan through foundry you need to learn to dig, PIF got into the chip business yearsss ago. And yes Intel is pure USA so by supporting a chip that not influenced by a foreign entity we would have a chip shortage right. Thats the idea behind the Government to support that type of business. As a Gman before we even buy anything and I mean anything via contract or GPC if a company states they use certain foreign companies chips e.g. in their credit card machine or software we do not purchase from them.
>True but I do receive cash flow in the forms of dividends. If I have to buy a CC back at an inflated price I may wipe out large portion of previously collected premium (this happened with GPC). Still, I see your point. A lot of the time selling CC isn't worth it at my strike prices chosen because they're \~0.2 deltas and yield $20-$30. Good point on the dividends, assuming that applies to the stocks that you're selling CSPs on. From the way you're describing buying back CCs, I think it's pretty clear you're not in wheel territory - the general wheel philosophy would be to accept assignment on ITM CCs rather than buying them back at a loss, then possibly selling CSPs to continue the wheel (but presumably at a higher strike than when you last sold CSPs to obtain the stock). ​ >You're right. I'm not truly running the wheel but rather just selling CSPs in 80% of instances. There are some lucrative calls I sell on REITs like O and BRX though. I agree upside is hard to predict but I don't tend to sell my equities. Once I buy I intend to hold for decades unless the investment thesis changes to warrant a sell. Makes sense; sounds completely consistent with the classic CSP goal of either buying stocks you want to own long term at a discount or collecting some premium (rather than the wheel's goal of generating consistent premium income). ​ >I agree, I plan on continuing because there will always be earnings and global events. It's like a hot housing market to me, there's fewer deals but if the numbers work there's still good deals to be found. Reasonable, I agree. One potential pitfall here is just loosening your trade entry criteria when opportunities become scarcer. I've had times where I've broken or bent my own rules out of impatience, and it tends not to work out well. On the other hand, you may also find these times to be opportunities to try new strategies (in a controlled way of course) and expand your options toolbelt. ​ >I love earnings. That's where the TA kinda "shines". But I avoid and do not trade meme stocks and other crazy underlyings. There's patterns with earnings, tech for example tends to drop after. I just look at charts and balance sheets to see what the usual response is and what the expectation is. Then I'll sell 70-90% POP trades with a bullish or bearish bias based on my analysis with typically a 20-35% return. Sounds good. One point that applies here but also more broadly, which I'm sure you're already doing but I'll mention for anyone else following the conversation: it's critical to systematically keep track of your trades so that you can measure the performance of your strategies. This isn't just to verify whether something is working or not, but also to enable a feedback loop through which you can test different ideas (could be big or small), gather evidence, and use the results to refine and improve your strategies. This can take some time and a lot of samples to produce meaningful results, so I'm a proponent of making a larger number of smaller trades, as it sounds like you've been doing. ​ >You've inspired me to reflect and make some necessary modifications, I'm grateful. My pleasure. Good luck, and happy to chat further in the future.
> One point is that if you're generally not planning to sell CCs after you get assigned, you do lose out on that consistent income generation, relying solely on appreciation of the underlying for your return after you've been assigned. True but I do receive cash flow in the forms of dividends. If I have to buy a CC back at an inflated price I may wipe out large portion of previously collected premium (this happened with GPC). Still, I see your point. A lot of the time selling CC isn't worth it at my strike prices chosen because they're \~0.2 deltas and yield $20-$30. >Also, I'm not quite sure if the idea of being willing to sell CSPs but not CCs in the context of the wheel fully makes sense, as CSPs and CCs are synthetically equivalent to one another (i.e. a CSP at a particular strike and expiration has the exact same payoff diagram as a CC at the same strike and expiration). I had to look this up so for anyone else that reads this: https://www.investopedia.com/terms/s/synthetic\_call.asp And this is why I love options lol, thanks for pointing it out. > I guess the point is that if you don't sell CCs, you're allowing yourself to capture the full amount of any big rebounds in the underlying after the big drop that caused you to be assigned on your CSPs. My feeling is that this is situational and hard to predict; you would essentially be banking on there being a quick rebound following the big drop to be better off not selling the CCs. Again, not sure on this one, would have to think about it some more. It's definitely a more likely possibility for some underlyings than others. It may be more accurate to think of your strategy as just selling CSPs rather than running the wheel, but that may be more of just a nomenclature difference than an actual practical difference. You're right. I'm not truly running the wheel but rather just selling CSPs in 80% of instances. There are some lucrative calls I sell on REITs like O and BRX though. I agree upside is hard to predict but I don't tend to sell my equities. Once I buy I intend to hold for decades unless the investment thesis changes to warrant a sell. >A more general consideration: option selling strategies like the ones that you plan to use work better in high IV environments due to higher premiums. Do you plan to still rely on these strategies in conditions of lower IV market-wide? I agree, I plan on continuing because there will always be earnings and global events. It's like a hot housing market to me, there's fewer deals but if the numbers work there's still good deals to be found. > Another more general consideration: you may want to consider having some guidelines in your strategic plan around diversification of positions, not just in underlyings but also different sector exposures, different directional exposures, and different expiration dates. Good point, I didn't include this in my plan but I diversify across indices, tech, energy, REITs, discretional / non-discretional etc. I oughta but that in writing though as you're probably getting at. > Another more general consideration: how are you planning on handling known high-volatility events like earnings? Are you maybe going to avoid them entirely due to their potential for big unexpected moves? Or are you maybe planning to seek them out for their high IV and play for the IV crush? If the latter, does this affect your strategy, e.g. do you pick more conservative deltas or different DTEs? I love earnings. That's where the TA kinda "shines". But I avoid and do not trade meme stocks and other crazy underlyings. There's patterns with earnings, tech for example tends to drop after. I just look at charts and balance sheets to see what the usual response is and what the expectation is. Then I'll sell 70-90% POP trades with a bullish or bearish bias based on my analysis with typically a 20-35% return. > And finally a more meta point: I don't think there's necessarily a "right" answer to most of the questions and considerations that I raised. What I do believe is that it makes sense to think about them and have answers for yourself ready that are consistent with your own goals, risk tolerance, and overall strategy. You've inspired me to reflect and make some necessary modifications, I'm grateful.
A few I haven’t seen listed that have done well for me are NKE, GPC, PAYX, ADP
Alpha GPC and l-arginine. Cognizin, ashwaghanda, rhodiola, magnesium, and lions mane, Caffeine and Theanine. Yes all at the same time
For sure. 3.6g Beta Alanine, 3g Citulline Malate, 2g Betaine, 5g Creatine. I then take a caffeine pill of 200mg for my boost. Optional ingredients are 250mg Alpha GPC, 50mg Theanine, 4g of BCAA. As for flavoring highly highly recommend something citrus-y. Citulline Malate is extremely bitter and citrus cancels it out nicely. I use just the powdered orange Gatorade. Since I’m bulking I’m replenishing lost calories in the form of carbs as I work out. Can do like Mio Zeros tho if you wanna be calorie free. Bought everything from Bulk Supplements of Amazon. Just toss everything into a shaker cup and mix. Then chase down the caffeine pill with it.
I would say a good summer season stock sector to look at is the auto parts stocks like O'Reilly (ORLY), AutoZone (AZO), NAPA (GPC), etc. They are solid growth stocks first of all, but more importantly as COVID situation has been unwinding things like car registration has become reinstated. Also the price of used cars has been mooning in most states. These factors lead to a large increase in customers for these type of companies. These companies were resistant during the 2020 crash and have not yet blown up like many other sectors yet. Along with the general rise of prices on all goods this sector is probably one of the most reliable hidden gems to consider especially going in to the summer cycle of the market.

KMPH, debt free, new ADHD medication with best in class label, $48m about to be paid by Corium/GPC. Prodrug technology, 1 other drug already under their belt, 2 other likely to succeed medications based off the newly approved Azstarys main ingredient, patents until 2037, created and distributed by the same teams that created and distributed Vyvanse. Maybe turn into a long game, but it also had very high short interest and currently interesting things are happening almost daily in the stock. Totally good for those of us with a gambling addiction!

GPC is literally the dividend version of autozone but actually manufacture and sell a lot of parts for all kind of vehicles and machinery. Company will continue to grow, slowly though.
As to your question about Kempharm’s finances, they had been $67m in debt last Fall. They went through a series of dilutions in January to retire all debt leaving them with $90m in cash. They will receive upto $48m in the form of a milestone payment from GPC/Corinne for their successful PDUFA of Azstarys - we expect an announcement any day now. They will receive an additional $468m in milestone payments over the next few years as Azstarys goes to market and achieves various goals. All expenses are covered by Corium. Additionally, KemPharm gets royalty payments in the mid 20’s percent for US sales. Their expenses are something like $20m a year, so the financial outlook is looking good for at least 5 years. Then you throw in prospects for the other pro drugs in their pipeline. The futures so bright, Travis is wearing shades.
wow GPC sounds so overvalued, i wonder why that's happening.
I dunno why some are so high like GPC, their comps are terrible
That particular NAPA is owned by Genuine Parts Co. (GPC).
