Doesn't Facebook and IG and YT and tiktok and Spotify and every podcast also get most of their revenue from advertising?

Dropping your US exposure is fine if you're worried about concentration, but don't throw darts either. You're still heavily tilted to large caps (check this report on your allocation: https://www.insightfol.io/en/portfolios/report/f07b40e8bd). Also, USHY is junk bonds in a 401k... why take that much credit risk for not much yield? Consider if IG bonds or a total bond fund might be smarter.

I wasn’t a believer at first, got in a few months back at $90. Mins you, been using Reddit every day for the past decade or so. It has to deal with change mindset… not all Redditors see the business changes, just like not all IG users would have boughten META when it was in the doldrums.

aegiroth

if i had more capital, i'd get Meta puts. If it wasn't for IG and whatsapp, that shiet would be a fossil

I’m in on Reddit and generally bullish but the likelihood of it becoming half of meta is slim. Meta has: - a refined and insanely robust ad targeting algorithm that can tap into many mixed media placements; not just FB, but IG (which has reels aka TikTok), now threads - SSO (single sign on), which is still prominent and gathers swaths of 3rd party data from the digital ecosystem. Reddit doesn’t have this offering being anonymous - ancillary products within VR (and the ray ban glasses, say what you want about that) - on platform shopping features The 2nd is the only fundamental moat that Reddit cannot offer. The others are realistic to compete in but could take years. Not saying Reddit will compete in those verticals but worth using them as examples to contextualize the time horizon in which in took Meta to establish them. As someone in the digital marketing space Reddit is improving its offerings but still a text based platform with a so-so targeting algorithm

Darkdong69

Reddit has years of accumulated content in all fields that remain relevant and ever growing, whereas FB/IG content go stale quickly. Rddt draws users with content, meta draws users with users. I would say it's more like a messy wild west wikipedia combined with a news aggregator than a social media.

I've had the Fold 3, 4, 5 and now Fold 7. It depends how you use it. Folding phones are good for: * Multitasking (multiple apps) * Remote desktop * Reading * Comics/Manga * Video If you don't do any of those things and you primarily do IG / TikTok, you're better off with a cheaper slab phone.

IG is forcing me to click on ads are they are in war with RDDT?

brosidenkingofbros

I follow them on IG. For the record, I could be mistaken, but I do remember them discussing massive volume on UNH earlier this week. You can also check out their X account, where I believe they are most active

IH8BART

Rymasq

meta is the king of small and local business ads right now. It’s insane how well they manage to feed me ads on IG that are local and relevant to my interests.

ajibtunes

My wife says I’m seeking validation on IG cuz I post so much 🤔

furrypurpledinosaur

I use IG and this doesn't look like it. Unless their Android app looks like this because I use iOS. Neither iOS or desktop website look like this.

i ask girls for there linkedin instead of their IG now. they get outraged and insist we exchange phone numbers

neversleeps212

Possible they give up some of their gains but even if their AI plays fall short, Google will still be sitting pretty with YouTube, Waymo, and search traffic and Meta will still have WhatsApp and IG. They’re too big and too diversified to totally bubble burst.

[Weekend trading on IG](https://www.ig.com/en/weekend-trading) \- for the true addict who wants to gamble on futures of the furues market on a Sunday.

someroastedbeef

i dont think it’ll move the markets at all. last time deepseek news hit the market, IG weekend futures trading plummeted. IG weekend futures are flat right now

Big-Safe-2459

I see quite a few ads and actually notice them - the targeting isn’t the best, but then again it’s broad market corporations that I don’t care for (i.e. Starbucks). But targeting can go back to the old-school narrowly defined interests, like specialty magazines. If I’m looking at r/decks, I would appreciate an ad for lumber, stain, or builder. I also appreciate that my phone isn’t listening to me to serve that ad - I think more and more people are creeped out by the level of surveillance by programmatic platforms. I worked in marketing and advertising for decades so I notice these things. Also, I use this yardstick: pretty much everyone in our house now looks at Reddit as much as, or more than, IG, FB (almost 0%), or Snapchat

Equities are at all-time highs, and it is not entirely justified but future strong growth is still extremely plausible from AI, rate cuts, and government spending. If I were you, I'd buy a U.S. market index (SPY or VOO) and a non-U.S. global market index (VXUS). The main risk right now is the U.S. market collapsing which is why some international exposure is good. Dollar cost average a little at a time until your whole 100k is invested into equity index funds. The rest you can keep in a bond fund. My favorite bond fund right now are investment grade corporates (USIG). You can earn somewhere around 4.75% - 5.25% IG bond funds right now Invest a little bit every month or week in a 80/20 (U.S./International) ratio for index funds. Keep the rest in a bond fund and slowly sell off as you dollar cost average into these other indexes.

sharpetwo

You are mixing up intrinsic value vs total payoff at expiry and forgetting that option prices are not just intrinsic. You paid $13.85 for the call. Strike is $38. Stock’s at $46.93, so the option already has \~$8.93 of intrinsic value. That is why your option still has *market value* even if the stock is below your breakeven. The “breakeven” number of $51.85 only matters at expiry — it is the point where your *final payoff* equals what you paid. Before expiry, the option price includes time value and implied volatility, so you can be in profit on the option without the stock ever touching your breakeven. In other words: * Breakeven ≠ “where I stop losing money today.” * Breakeven = “where, at expiry, my profit/loss flips from negative to positive.” * Between now and then, market pricing, vol, and time value can push your option into green territory early. IG is showing you mark-to-market P&L, not expiry payoff.

Odd-Enthusiasm-7854

I was a part of optionsful discord group, I will recommend to stay away from such groups for the following reasons: 1. Owner claims to have 90%+ winrate on IG, it’s not true. If the trade doesn’t go his way, he would aggressively average down and hold until it recovers to break even or goes to zero. If you have a small account and can’t loss more money to a losing trade, you will lose almost every other day 2. He doesn’t use stop-loss, in your losing trades you will lose far more than you win in your winning trades. It’s always a recovery battle there. I lost so much money Any sensible trader would use a stoploss to minimize losses while maximizing profits, I figured he does this to show that 90% winrate that would not be possible if he cut his trades after the setup fails. Beware of discord groups like that. And this group is expensive

DinosaurGatorade

Hindsight isn't worth anything. Does this TikTok celebrity say anything substantial ("Vanguard caught slipping what should be HY into IG funds") or just ragebait using the name "vanguard" and "blackrock"?

mallampapi_iv

lol that was the same with my wife. No FB, IG, TikTok, but started using Reddit.

MambaOut330824

When people realize there’s more ad context on here than IG, this thing is gonna print. Wall Street is just starting to see the potential. I think we’re 2-4 years away from casino level ad revenue but no mistake it’s coming. And there gonna get to $1b revenue per quarter by next year, not even factoring in huge user growth. That doesn’t even tap into their AI deals, search engine goals and future user growth.

vix_calls

I’m bullish — I use it everyday and suspect the trend will pick up. I notice “normal” people who otherwise would be typically glued to IG, TikTok, etc starting to talk about Reddit in person a lot.  A few years ago no one really knew of it and it was kind of one of those things you ran into because you were chronically online (me). But that tide is changing. Social media is a part of our lives whether we like it or not, the younger generation is constantly talking about how short form content ‘fries their dopemaine’ (whatever that means) but Reddit will never feel that way because an easy, endless way to seek out information about anything anonymously.

IllBuyYourCar

You guys seen those Boxable houses? They’re going public with some spac called $FGMC. Not sure if it’ll pump but I have seen them running a ton of ads on IG the last year or so

STradesCastingCouch

You’re incredibly out of touch. SNAP is the most used social media app among under 18. Instagram is a shell of its former self and is only going to get worse as these kids age. Only reason why we continue to use IG is because we grew up on it. Snap is their Roman Empire and they’ll continue to use it

needtoshave

I dumped everything meta. No IG, no FB. I don’t miss it.

neophanweb

I don't know what a fascist is and I'm not into politics. I don't use IG or TickTock. I have a Bachelor's in Science. History was a required course for high school and college general education. What I look for is how someone's policy will affect this country and its citizens. So far, things have been great this year. That speaks for itself. I don't agree with everything this administration is doing, but I agree with enough to keep my stance the same.

Ok_Spirit5374

rip. Yeah not even the same category. If tiktok goes away IG makes a comeback. Now if OF goes away, hella calls on snap

Boente

Deleted FB and IG back in 2020, never looked back.

CumomEileen

IG has an index called “US tech” which is their Nasdaq index tracker, it was down 0.27% earlier today and now it’s only down 0.10%. Incredibly thinly traded so probably means nothing

l'd like to invest about $10k. Something for long term 5-7 years AMZN, V00, VTI GO0G.AMD or NVDA already have FB and TSLA. Holding them since 2019 This is just what I'm thinking. Any other stock recommendations will be helpful. Any guidance will be appreciated. have my other investments with IG investments low volatlity growth portfolios. They aren't doing anything amazing. 10-12% return on average except for years like 2024 where it was about 18%. I want to slowly move away from them.

Do you know how many dumb things my wife buys of IG? The ad rev is real

Anxious-Criticism652

I already have META in my 401K. SNAP is undervalued with more upside thats all. IG will do very well! META will also cook as it has been. SNAP needs a very small increase in users to have that margin spread.

WolverineLong1430

Snapchat was fun for while when it came out. Send things in chat groups and it disappears. So there’s no record of it later. It’s useful if you want to communicate without it being permanent and used against ya 😂 But yeah, everyone in my group, their kids, our nieces and nephews don’t use Snapchat anymore. My friend who is a teacher in elementary doesn’t use it. I’m sure it has its purpose for other things. But it just doesn’t drive a connection like IG,Facebook and builds a connection. Tiktok is for short attention span, instant viral media and YouTube being the opposite.

Traditional-Doubt185

Facebook usage is up around the world, even in US. It's a lot of 30+ but they have all the money anyway. Facebook is almost as popular as IG in LatAm and SE Asia.

P-Diddy-69

Lopsided-Treat1215

I really wish it would. I refuse to get back on IG but one person can only do so much. Most people I know against corporations, especially those that suck the life out of our country, are still on IG and use WhatsApp 🤷

cbusoh66

Understood, thanks again for sharing your perspective and I understand you can't answer what's in the work. My point of the whole post, is not that META is going to roll over anytime soon, heck, I am anticipating at least 2 more bang-up quarters, but that Zuck knows what's working and what's not working, the fact that he's pursuing top talent at any cost tells me whatever you guys have been cooking on the AI front hasn't worked and not likely to work. If he manages to build this super team here in the second half of 2025 and shift gears, imagine the lead OpenAI, Google, Microsoft and others will have. Do you many people who use Llama on IG or WhatsApp to get answers? He has access to those statistics, he bet on LeCunn and he's now realizing it's the wrong horse.

PromotionDull8663

Bro really said Japan doesn't use a Meta product? They use Whatsapp for texting and IG to post their social status symbols/looks.

Alarmed-Pen-8785

Meta doesn't develop anything new. They just buy other people's crap and throw their name on it. Once the government stops them from setting up these little monopolies META will be done for. They just need to report how many active accounts they have and their stock will take a hit. I know several people with a FB or IG account that they haven't used in years. Many of the people I know don't use social media anymore.

Happy_Discussion_536

100% wrong, nothing could be further from the truth. IG spreads are at rock bottom lows. https://fred.stlouisfed.org/graph/fredgraph.png?g=1KUFu&height=490 Even openness to 25 bps in September is mega dovish and bullish.

imagine believing what the 3 british pajama (dont they say pyjama?) traders are doing tossing around CFDs to each other on IG is gospel after they had oil up like 10% when the bunkers got "busted" and it came crashing down when the market actually opened

cbusoh66

The post is about Meta, not Apple. Apple owns the hardware space and Meta is dependent on them not the other way around. FB is a hellscape of an online goodwill and misinformation. IG usage is down, ask anyone below 30 what they use, social media has become stagnant and full of "influencers" trying to peddle shit. It's unusable.Also, do you know anyone who uses AI search on any of their platforms? When you hear news about AI, and AGI, you hear about OpenAI, Google, Microsoft, Anthropic, even Gork and Perplexity, never Llama. See, Zuck knows this and sees the internal numbers. The writing is on the wall, it would take a year or so before it hits the bottom line and this is why he's so desperate to get the right AI strategy working. Metaverse was a huge failure. Quest and VR/AR are a dud. Again, it takes time to lose these eyeballs but advertisers are also on top of it and won't continue to pour money into dead platforms.

It’s time to start selling courses on IG reels bro

OptionSellingRegard

I’ve seen way too much evidence over the past 5 years that most of humanity is asleep in a dystopian world But the one that scars me most is seeing AI generated girls posting degenerate and porn filled content on IG with a bunch of middle aged bald guys commenting “so hot baby I want you” Fuck, comet hits earth for a reset when?

AfterDarkAsset

Same IG reels. Get used to it. This shit is everywhere. With YT - you can pay for premium though to get ad-free viewing (and also gets you access to YT Music).

Humble_Umpire_8341

I say this to my eight year old all the time. I get it, he has to go to school, but he better be hustling candy bars at recess and lunch. When he gets home, he better be on Twitch live streaming and simultaneously streaming on YouTube, TikTok and even IG. You need to start them early. No free rides and think of all that compounding. Buffett started at 14, so that means my kid could be a billionaire just like that with all of the compounding. /s.

stocksforbreakfast

I saw that video on IG too

CumomEileen

I use IG index, trading 212 and City index and routinely get margin called on all of them. Robin Hood I’m not sure, under FCA rules which will apply to them in the U.K. they have to close out your positions if your equity falls below 50% of your margin but that is very different from being like 90% or even 80%. Whether or not they take action before 50% or just harass you with push notifications and emails I’m not sure sorry but it would be unusual compared with the other U.K. brokers 

LasyKuuga

Chat pls I need ship IG girls off to the desert just to shit on the money

Appropriate-Unit1433

IG index gives you access to TasyTrade. You’ll need to pass a pretty rudimentary options knowledge assessment

WickOfDeath

I did the math... its cheaper to trade CFDs of Cr.pto at IG if holding positions only for some days.

alve31

It depends what you trade I think. T212 is the absolute best if you trade stocks, but not the best if you trade Forex. IG is damn expensive, it’s harder to break even.

NoPatient8872

Thank you very much. Shame, my dream was to work in London, but I live in Manchester. There doesn't appear to be many options around my way, unless I'm just not looking in the right place. Just out of curiosity, I felt like the platforms I mentioned were amateur platforms like you've said, but I wasn't sure. What would be a professional platform? Something like Bloomberg or IG?

xcorv42

Be careful with IG fees. Especially when garantes stop is used or when trading cfd on stock

Baselynes

As you can see of you click on my account, I've been on Reddit for 12 years since sophomore year in high school. In that time, I've gone from using dozens of social media apps, but reddit and IG are the only ones that stuck for me. While I have a lot of gripes about this app, such as the censorship and echo chambers, it really isn't replaceable by any other platform. I think that other than the Meta platforms, reddit is the next social app that I'd bet 100% to be around and thriving in 40 years. Others like X will still exist to fill certain niches like politics, but i think rddt will have some of the highest retention rates, and the next generation will join suit.

big_spreads

Seen some guy on IG talking about this going to $30

Brokenandburnt

Posting this again as answer. They have already fired all independent IG's. They said "Hey, you can't fire us!" And the administration answered "Watch us!"\ Security removed them from their offices, later a few tried to go back. DOGE had revoked their id's from the servers, effectively locking them out from their jobs.\ A long good while later courts ruled that "You can't do that" and appeals followed. I'm unsure if it has reached SCOTUS yet. But afaik no one has been reinstated. The government no longer has watchdogs for corruption, no whistleblower protection program.

Neither of these are the best indicator, but internet money doesn't look as if it cares and weekend IG does suggest a small gap down (they get it right more often than you'd imagine), but nothing very exciting. I will note that while unpopular, I don't think Powell being forced out (probably a forced resignation would be most likely, and I'd say it's a small chance) goes the way folks think it would initially as long as long rates stay relatively controlled, and what I would be watching for going forward regardless as long as you don't have a total hack as Fed Chair put in, is the potential of too loose monetary policy (looser than it is right now) leading to stocks continuing to ramp very hard.

>Webull or [IG.com](http://IG.com) are your current choices Robinhood and IBKR both offer options trading (buy and sell) in the UK.

SassyStonks

Webull or IG.com are your current choices. Investa app will be coming soon. IG.com will allow you to buy and sell options, whereas Webull you can only buy. The benefit of Webull however is that there are no patterned day trading rules, but at the cost of no ETF trading.

Key_Dragonfruit_2492

The only competitor to HOOD in the UK is IG. They acquired tastytrade for options trading. I think tastytrade is better than HOOD but they don’t advertise enough. If they offered incentives like HOOD they’d be winning bigly.

The fact that you could distinguish them from avg Joes, who have none of that means they’re not low key. What’s “gaudy flex in your face” is subjective. You might think it’s a flex. I may think nothing of it. The person who owns it may just like it. If you’re seeing IG “fluencers” 🤮 purposely flex all the time, that’s what’s affecting your opinion. If you’re broke, you’d think gold chains are a “in your face flex”. I would think little of it, because they’re at a price point I don’t balk at.
