Just FYI - Prior to the nvda news, the market was actually gearing up for some housing related news (direct or indirect). RKT HD and Z were getting large speculative call buys. Just something to keep in mind this week

You can withdraw from an HSA whenever you want, especially if you bank receipts. Not hard to save a few receipts and be set whenever you want. So many things count from dental work to most Walgreens runs. HSA are truly the most advantageous account. Their biggest limitation is just the specific HD plan needed and the low ceiling on contributions. Roth or any other retirement plan is not nearly as tax advantaged so not sure how you could argue that those plans are better than an HSA up to the limits. Especially when you are young and don't need much insurance, and HSA is the best investment vehicle. You don't pay FICA tax on it, it never gets fed tax, withdrawals are unbelievably easy to do, and it takes 20 minutes to set up a Google drive folder and form to make receipt keeping easy. HSA is the first vehicle after employer match you should be maxing. And in some cases, even before that (specifically on low match amounts like 1/4 or 1/8th matching).

The beauty of equity is that is theoretically infinite, if managed sustainably. As a beginning investor, build up good exposure to the stock market overall through index investing, I recommend looking at companies which are consistently profitable. Big, name brand companies that you’ve heard of, businesses that you can explain in a single sentence. At this moment, Home Depot, Nike and Lululemon are good candidates, because they are category leaders with industry leading profit margin structure. This means they make money for you in good times and bad. Right now, these are tough times for HD, NKE, and LULU, but they generate substantial free cash flow, which protects your investment in their shares. Your financial advisor should be able to help identify other candidates. For example, if you want growth companies, compounding future growth is an amazing value creation mechanism. The trick is not to chase stock charts which look like bubbles. For example, right now NVIDIA, Palantir, SoFi have incredibly seductive growth narratives, but developing a keen Spidey-sense of how and when to buy low comes with experience. Once you buy a share of NVIDIA, though, the wealth is made by holding the stock for as long as you think the people of NVIDIA are at the top of their game. As you accumulate shares of high quality companies, get to know them. The company’s investor relations website is the portal to all publicly available financial information. Learning to read financial statements helps, but what you really want to do is learn to input the numbers into Excel or Google and analyze percentage rates of change. Is revenue growing faster or slower each year? Are profit margins expanding or contracting, and by how much? Getting familiar with the discounted cash slow models, and how dialing up or down future growth outlook drives the theoretical current day price is the final tool to independently assess if the shares are a good deal. If you start getting serious about a company and following it, like a professional analyst, create a folder and a consistent naming taxonomy to keep your files organized. For example, for NVIDIA, I download all of their quarterly earnings documents: NVDA F2026 Q1 Earnings Release NVDA F2026 Q1 CFO Commentary NVDA F2026 Q1 Financial Supplement NVDA F2026 Q1 Form 10-Q NVDA F2026 Q1 Earnings Transcript If I had to choose one to start, I always read the earnings transcript. Some companies post transcripts, others can be found at a site like Seeking Alpha. Reading the last four quarters gives you a good picture of what is on the mind of the management team, the analyst community, and whether they see things similarly as industry events unfold. Build a consistent cadence of how often you read about your investments. YouTube is an amazing place to built knowledge about your company’s industry and products.

Oh yeah, if your are young. Don't take dividends, just roll it over. My grandmother passed down stocks to her daughters, then my mom passed them down to me and I was able to see what a life time of just rolling it over does. For instance, once I had the stocks I could see how many shares were bought at what price 30-40 years ago. My grandmother bought HD a $5.66 a share and died with over 700 shares. She had MSFT at $53 per share and it did a bunch of splits. So, younng-uns, roll it over and forget you even have it.

The thing about Lidar is it is lame compared to "see and interpret everything with HD camera and AI". The problem is he's designing a system that will hold peoples lives in it's hands. When designing mission critical systems the goal is to build redundancy and resiliency into the systems for safety reasons and doing things to that level is the antithesis of the mentality of move fast break things that has become the obsession of the tech world.

Jones Soda (JSDA) is raising significant funding (likely from a large institutional investor) and uplisting to the NASDAQ under ticker JBEV. This is why they had to spin off regulated cannabis recently, although they are going all in on Hemp (HD9). This can essentially be thought of as an IPO. The raised just a number of months ago at a $40M valuation. Even though the stock is depressed right not, they next raise will likely be at or above those levels.

Home Depot and Lowe’s are two different companies. A different HD would be a different physical store. I bought the set online at HD.com. And it only became difficult once I purchased it and realized it was fucked and needed them to make it right. So, none of what you said makes any sense. But yes, I will never buy anything of significance there ever again. Lowe’s either, frankly. I do a ton of DIY and home repair and choose to spend as much as possible at Ace or other local or co-operative stores.

HD @ $20 COST @ $60 FB @ $35 NVDA @ $5.15 These are a handful of 50+ stocks. Most have done well, a few have gone to ZERO. I still kick myself for missing AAPL, AMZN, and GOOG. Congratulations on your AAPL position!!

ObservationalHumor

Hard to reason with these people because they want to believe so badly that everything Musk has told them in 100% true despite his track record of lying about damn near everything for the last decade. None of them actually know what HD maps are used for but they're convinced it somehow makes the system impossible to scale or that there's absolutely no other logic in there to deal with deviations in the expectations that the system has from its data and what it sensors are reading. Or that maybe having those expectations to begin with to realize something has changed or is unexpected is in itself quite valuable. They're also unaware that every system out there uses fairly detailed and highly annotated maps because... they're cheap, widely available and necessary to actually plan any trip that goes beyond the vehicle's immediate sensor range. They've internalized specious arguments Musk made a decade ago that were premised on the cost of LIDAR at the time and low volume HD map data for institutions to misrepresent the actual cost of a roll out in a new area. Of course none of them have actually done any analysis of what the existing rideshare business actually looks like and how most of the profitability comes from a few major metro areas. Turns out that from a financial perspective it doesn't really matter if your vehicle can't operate on a poorly outlined dirt road in rural Iowa because there's no value in deploying a robotaxi service out there to begin with. Large transportation hubs like airports and train stations also tend to be the single most important destination for any ride sharing service too. Something like the aggressive and blantly misanthropic traffic at LAX is going to be one of the primary proving grounds for any robotaxi service imho. High quality sensor data also apparently doesn't matter. I mean it's not as if these systems are complex probabilistic models at their core and there's a massive amount of effort that goes into limiting that through having reliable sensor data or trying to account for it via various estimators and potential scenarios to account for things that are a result of partial information and limited observability of the environment and other actors in it. Screw trying to interpret pedestrian and other VRU intentions, apparently the real prize is dealing with a roadway that isn't adequately marked. Let's also ignore all the prior statements from Tesla that actively conflict with the 'vision' Musk is pitching now. Their previous CFO Zach noted that FSD would never be a big value add in the longer term because it's a competitive industry and even if Tesla was in the lead it would only last for a few years. Also Waymo's sensor suite cost is apparently a huge issue despite Musk stating that once they cracked autonomy they wouldn't sell vehicles for less than a few hundred grand due to the massive value he claimed it was unlocking. But yeah $50k in extra sensors and being at least several years ahead apparently isn't really worth anything for Waymo. Not to mention the generally terrible record of prognosticating that Musk has personally had with FSD being a year away for close to a decade even when their vehicles fundamentally lacked the basic ability to navigate and act independently and were training on still images. In any sane world he would have been prosecuted for securities fraud (yet again) years ago. I think the truth of the matter is that Musk's decisions boxed development of both FSD and their robotaxi products ages ago. Fixing the sensor suite and processing hardware was a massive mistake and a completely backwards way to go about solving an open problem like autonomous driving. Virtually every other company properly identified that solving the problem was the top priority and optimizing the sensor suite and processing hardware for cost was something that would afterwards as both the problem and solution were understood much better. But that approach wasn't going to help Tesla sell cars back in 2017 and so Musk has fought vehemently against and spread a variety of misinformation about HD maps, LIDAR, RADAR, sensor fusion and just generally abused technical terminology and made nonsense statements anything related to AI and ML for years at this point. I honestly have no idea how someone can simultaneously be so wrong for so long and still be treated as some kind of credible expert on whatever topic he weighs in on (pretty much everything). You'd think everyone would be sick of him sucking up capital and funding and limiting the possible avenues for developing technology in a ton of different fields but apparently he actually had to do a few Nazi salutes on stage at a political rally before anyone took notice and even then he's continued to raise billions of dollars for his failing social network and late to game AI play.

We went from phones having no cameras or grainy 0.3 megapixel cameras to the entire internet being HD video and everyone having the ability to stream netflix on unlimited data phone plans. And all of that technology contributes to a self driving car using vison only, which if you havent seen, still feels like science fiction. A video games cost $50 in the 1980's (which is like $300 pre-inflation dollars?), and still costs $50 today, except it feels like you're in a movie. I think that's a lot of advancement that many people are taking for granted because of how cheap it has become.

If HD imports a hammer and marks it up 100% to cover costs and profit. And nothing else changes, the new price will be 1.15 - 1.25 X the old price after teriffs are added. Higher markup equals more ability to absorb the price changes. But what if you don't have 100% markup to cover cost? Apparently Walmart has around 3% net profit and most of their produxts are imported directly from China. I doubt they currently have 100% markup to get the 3% net.

Random trip down memory lane here for me. There's a name I haven't heard in a while. I bought shares in Oct 2014 at $28.98/sh and sold in August 2017 at $37.26. If I had held, I'd have a 7.5 bagger. I did use the funds from my sale and equally invested into HD, SBUX, UAA, and MELI. I ended up selling that HD allotment for a 112% gain, SBUX for a 66% gain, and UAA for a 7% loss. MELI is the only of the 4 I still hold and that allotment is up 890%. Not awful with a 265% overall realized/unrealized return but not 7.5x. Not following the threads from SBUX, UAA, or HD. This trip down memory lane ends here.

the_doodman

The implication is that we're talking about HD maps, which is explicitly what Tesla has said they don't rely on and sets them apart from competitors. There's a big difference between generalized mapping to determine a safe operating environment and geofence boundaries in which computer vision AI will operate vs a HD map of every centimeter of the environment that the car will actively rely on for operation.

For google they can offer automotive manufacturers a complete tech stack of Android Automative, Google/Play services and once ready Waymo. Maps and search as in car services can be easily monetised already and are. Self driving will require HD maps which google are ideally positioned to offer. Going elsewhere means combining multiple stacks together and having to sort out integration. Potentially resulting in google not getting the maps + search revenue. HERE and TomTom being obvious alternative map providers or even the OE rolling there own using OSM. Google maps traffic is so accurate because it crowd sources the data from users in the background, and automotive embedded partners. Eventually the forward vision element will IMHO crowd sourced from embedded cars to improve maps and street view.

You mention AI but Waymo isn’t using AI they are using HD maps and a bunch of sensors.

I used to buy highly profitable stocks on dips, to swing trade a profit target of 10-15%. My confidence these companies would recover was very high as it was usually macro issues that brought the stock down, not micro. I never bought the ones that suffered a major downturn due to micro issues as it was much more of risk they could recover. As time went on, I started to realize these companies tend ot increase over time and I'm just capturing very small slices of those gains - why not capture all of them? I switched to going long term, taking the pain of major market downturns, feeling confident the long run would be a brighter day. I can't remember if it was Buffet or Lynch (or perhaps both) who said sometimes the best stock to buy is the one you already own. Meaning if you found a winner, and it keeps winning, it's a good idea to add more shares. So instead of pocketing gains at 5% here, 15% there; my individual holdings have gains in the xx% xxx% and x,xxx%. When you look at long term trajectory of stocks like AMZN MSFT MCD HD GOOGL AAPL, these companies were already well known, household names before their bigget gains (by market cap) were to occur (for example AAPL was no secret at $500b valuation and it went on to go up another 5-6x times to $3t+).

Does this seem like a good thing when Scott's is spinning off Hawthorne's, for whatever reasons? Are the retail outlets (Home Despot, Wally World, etc.) going to continue with Viagrow as a supplier as GG is first and foremost a cannabis cultivation company? WallyWorld gets criticized for it's LGBT policies \*despite\* contributing to The Heritage Foundation, and Bernie Marcus (co-founder of HD) was also a contributor to Heritage Foundation. Personally, as a consumer, I don't want to supprt that kind of stuff, and as an investor, do I want to to count on continued revenue that is VERY susceptible to Heritage all flexing on thosew retailers? What's really the future of Grow Generation with AliExpress, etc., and so many online equipment and fert suppliers in direct competition online?

Learn how to hedge or at least keep trailing stop lost % orders on almost everything you have. I say 'almost everything' because you will generally make money if you hold long. For instance, I don't even pay attention to my blue chip stocks like MSFT, IBM, HD, JNJ, ABV, etc. However, I do wrap those TSL% orders around things like AMD, ARM, PLTR, CRWV. That's how come I didn't take a huge beating on liberation day(s). Depending on the stock and the price per share I'll put anywhere from 7.5%, 10%, 12%, or 15% on everything else. If my % gain is higher than my TSL% order if the sell gets triggered I still make $. If I've got something that's only up 3% and -again depending on stock - I'll put a 7.5% TSL% order in and if it gets triggered then my losses are minor. If I've got something that's up 25% I'll put a 10-12% TSL% order on it. If the cost per share is higher, like 120 then I'm comfortable with a 10% TSL because it has to drop $12. On the other hand if I have a $15 stock, I'll put a much higher TSL$ of 20-25% because it's easier to lose a higher percentage like a -$2 move on a $15 stock. With big drops I don't lose as much if any and can buy in at a lower price point, and yes I've had those few stocks that trigger my sell and the next day it rockets back up and I mother fuck my stupidity, but I don't sit around with 40-70% unrealized losses. I play percentages not dollars. $'s cause anxiety, %'s not as bad. I like to average 2-5% daily portfolio gains. That adds up if you can do it several days a week. Makes your yearly ROI beat any CD or BOND. Also, with TSL% orders on my riskier plays, I don't have to watch the market all day. I only have to watch from 8:00 am - 10:00 am, and then just catch the last hour - sometimes will buy or short AH and rarely before the bell because I've been burnt too many times jumping on the pre-marrket pops only to see it disappear within the first few minutes after the opening bell.-

Software. Worked in computer vision for my thesis in college in the 3rd best robotics graduate program in the nation (robots have a lot of sensors). Second in the national robotics soccer tournament. That was 15 years ago though, only did about 5 years of professional vision work with robots in package warehouses. I moved on from that work though. When Elon says self driving is a solved problem, it's true, it is, but not by him. The industry already has viable solutions that blend lidar, radar, HD maps, and robust failovers. Trying to brute force generalized autonomy with just cameras is like trying to teach a blindfolded robot to juggle knives in a wind tunnel while also acting like a Hatsune Miku sex doll. Atleast the sex doll part would be useful and probably function. Your assumption was really off, but honestly? Go fuck yourself. Enjoy sucking Elon off into the sunset because the only thing that guy knows is how to sell garbage to incels.

Mental_Ad5218

Waymo has 1500 total and they rely on LiDar technology: Hard to scale because it relies heavily on HD maps + complex sensor fusion. Works best in limited geofenced areas. Keep in mind, if the road changes at all, the car won’t know what to do. Vs Tesla, the car uses 8 cameras and actually learns how to drive.

If you look at the long term chart of the SP500 it goes up over time, over 90 years of time. Even if you bought at short term high peaks of 1965 and 2000 (before very large dips), you will DCA yourself to profitability long before the index itself recovers. Why? Because you are spending much more time accumulating shares during the dip, then you are at the peaks. The only point you are correct about is inflows do help the stock market trend upwards - but that is only a short term dynamic. Just about every single day, there is an inflow or outflow surplus that drives the market up or down. But in the long run, the value of companies, what you're actually buying when purchasing stock increases over time as the economy grows. SP500 cumulatively has over $1t in profits each year. It also pays over $500b in cash dividends to shareholders each year. People try to talk about stocks like it's a gold or crypto which essentially all operates on Greater Fool theory - but big difference is there is something financially concrete backing the stock market. The most successful and profitable bussinesses in the history of humanity - MSFT AAPL WMT V AMZN HD COST KO GOOGL PG - and you can own a piece of them. Anyone who has a negative outlook on long term investment in the stock market simply has no money invested (or weren't successful probably with timing or speculation). Look at long term SP500 chart of 5/10/15/20/25/30/35 years and you can say many things - one thing you can't say is that person wouldn't have been profitable.

I work in manufacturing. It did impact our costs, multiple times already, as vendors have to finally take the hit after exhausting inventories they stocked up after the election. You're going to face those costs, sooner than later. Most companies generally keep inventory for 45-60 days as components for manufacturing in this country, for those that didn't make advance investments. And from what I understand from suppliers, it's actually 55% right now, not 30%, as reported. 30% is the new 10% baseline tariffs + 20% fentanyl retaliation tariffs from this year. Then there are 25% tariffs still imposed from 2018 under Section 301, that covers 60% of goods exported by China to the US. Some places will cover that, to a degree, but not the whole things. Others are passing it along as a line item. Then of course you have steel and aluminum specific tariffs of 25% globally at this time. Canada and Mexico supply a good chunk of what is not sated by domestic production for steel in the US, and aluminum is not smelted in the US - it's Canada. So all of that will impact base costs as well. All to say, you can try and wave it away rhetorically as a nothingburger like the market has, which has been something to watch as someone in US manufacuring. but it ain't gone away and it will be hitting your wallets sooner than later. And I've already seen price increases at places like HD, where I buy tools, etc all the time. It's been trickling right now, but it'll continue to increase.

Hey not fair, HD was kinda correct. SNOW also, ZM & TGT as well. I'm scared regarding today though :X

Yeah though Lowes is an option and yes as bad as Lowes is, it's still vastly better than HD. Real contractors don't use either store, but for the retail investor-equivalent of retarded contractors and DIY guys, everyone I know vastly prefers Lowes. It's cooked.

It could be that the illegal immigrants who do many of the construction jobs are hiding underneath the bed instead of buying lumber at HD right now and the gringo contractors who employ them are delivering for Grubhub because nobody is looking to spend money right now.

I work for HD and they have been raising prices since the tariffs started. Even the vendors are telling us prices will continue to go up.

Every earnings did jack shit this week HD nada , Target nada , Zoom nada

Of course. HD CEO is a Trumper. He'll bend the knee.

I'm determined to find the bottom of HD. Truly on a mission I cant be stopped.

Thurashen88

I shop at HD regularly. Prices have already gone up.

butkusrules

Appease the idiot in public because they know he isn’t going to be able to or have desire to actually track HD price increases. Trumps just teaching companies to be more deceitful than they naturally already are..

ImpossibleJelly7795

Okay I was trying to buy mower and they have memorial days sale and it was actually now $200 dollars with the sale. I guess HD tactics is to raise price then run “sales”. I am sure they said they won’t raise price to appease orange head

Me-Regarded

Rally anything related to home builders, appliances, etc. Toll Bros gave a pretty up beat guide. HD, WHR, LEN... All of that

L0pat0

Just look at how long japan has had HD broadcasts

Peterd90

HD will cut product size, lower product quality, and terrorize fewer workers to do more.

Original_Airline_323

Lmao, WMT opened like -3% & HD +2%. Neither opened flat. Start paying attention if you’re going to play this game.

bdh2067

WMT and HD both did the exact inverse of what you’re describing so might be interesting morning for you

bdh2067

Nah. Probly fine. Will do like WmT and HD. Flat to down a buck or two.

ResearcherSad9357

So RIP cash and margins, finally HD is great again.

Lopsided_Bank7069

Sooo...puts on HD? If they aren't raising their prices, earnings go down since last year. (I realize they could raise prices and just say it's not because of the tariffs, but if companies are expecting to "eat the cost" so prices don't go up, profits will take a hit...then Donnie will be mad the stock market is dropping). Side note, if Americans and american companies don't pay the tariffs, why would they have to "eat the cost"?

They don’t have to increase the price. Another way to look at it is that a $20 drill sold at HD (as an example) does’nt suddenly needs to sold at $29 due to 30% tariffs. More than likely this drill costs about $2-$3 wholesale from China so 30% tariffs is ~$1. They could easily manage this increase in costs my cutting costs somewhere else. Also, considering gas price has come down, the tariffs increase could also even out by cheaper transportation. So it’s not too out of ordinary if they claim to maintain the price

Pretty sure a 5 gallon bucket premixed joint compound was $17 a few months ago, became $23 when I had to get a new one a few weeks back. I think a lot of gypsum comes from mexico. HD is just saying they’re not going to announce price increases.

katzeye007

HD is a massive dumpf donator. What will happen is tech process will remain the same then a tariff fee will be added at checkout mmw

vegito789

The CFO is full of it. HD already started raising prices shortly after the tariffs last month. Shingles, ladders, nails, threaded rod, angle iron, flat iron/aluminum, all that stuff that contractors use to build went up. Flooring just went up last week, too.
