Most channels are pure noise, which is why filtering the chaos by automatically generating a custom audio summary based *only* on your exact portfolio (like S&P, AMZN, and MELI) saves so much time.
lol RZLV, now many RS did they already do? I was fine with Nokia (my buy in was 4,50 Euro=$5), it was a 3x trade. And Iridium, 2.5X. ABAT - 3x but the train left the station already. Also I think this focus just on the stock price is wrong. I made my biggest profits with swings on MELI and MU, swing trades with Oracle and Siemens Energy... MELI and MU are 4 figure stocks.
I've been eyeing MELI for a while and feel like I'm too late. Am I wrong?
Inside the AI trade, AMZN and META at these prices not doubt. Outside the AI trade MELI & RDDT are my picks for that time frame
Im watching everything in IGV, everything in memory, mag7s, MELI, LITE, ASML, and recently MRNA although moderna is starting to be really algoslop & choppy in just a week since the explosion lol
Clearly MELI is now a buy and will make all of us rich. Most profitable company in history.

Mercado Libre - MELI. It’s the Amazon of Latin America without the AWS and AI bubble exposure. Its stock took a hit earlier this year, but has partly recovered.
I feel that last part, that dips are over-reactions for sure, you just have to find the quality ones. I’ve had a lot of success buying nasty dips recently; it’s wild when your brain switches. As a whole though, I think we could see something like that for the market as a whole soon, even if it’s a flash dip. I was looking at $VTV’s chart & every once & a while there’s an incredibly large red wick almost down to the last peak. That’s when I’d be looking to load the boat, maybe $190. That’s wild that you said $TOYO! I had a CSP for them but it never got assigned below $5; now it’s below $5 again so could be a solid value. I’ve always wanted to be in $BABA & $MELI as well. I feel like running options on $MELI would be solid, you just need a ton of cash as collateral. I’m also trying to solidify my move abroad after dancing around it for a while (as the Colombian peso absolutely skyrockets against the dollar 😢) so I want to be very careful with my capital from here on out.
I hold MELI and its been allergic to $2k for a year now, been buying heavily since $1.8k to $1.6k.. I cannot find any bargain so i ended up adding a few AVDV.
When I first bought MELI in 2017, they had \~5,000 employees. They have over 125,000 employees just 9 years later. That's a 47% headcount CAGR. Revenue in that time is a 49% CAGR lmao
MELI dip yesterday was nice tbh
MELI is not cooked, but it's a bit risky
It came up in a screen, but I also heard it discussed along side MELI and NU in a piece about EM stocks. I believe it was on the Value Hive podcast, which is phenomenal.

bruh MELI is the new SNDK wtf is this
Pretty great SE Q, kinda funny though since similiar vibes to MELI which dropped on a nice topline beat bottom/margin miss... Anyways I am long both - growing 50% topline at their scales is wild
wtf is MELI the new SNDK
pretty glad i bought the MELI dip after earnings, up big
Probably won’t, 125% on a few grand doesn’t do much for me. If I sold on 125% I wouldn’t have NVDA cost basis of $8, SHOP of $12, or MELI $83. I’m a buy and hold for a very long time type guy. Worst thing that can happen is Intel loses 50% and oh darn I only make 50% in a year in a holding
Yeah imo this is one of the “safer” hyper-growth stocks out there with the most upside. It has a long track record of continual growth, it’s a monopoly that has beat out huge competitors (cough cough Amazon), and it’s barely tapped into its market so we know the opportunity is there. The only real risk here imo is macro, they do operate in a volatile area but even so they have proven to be able to weather crazy inflation and politics better than most companies. I guess also secondary risk is their credit business could fail, I think it’s a big opportunity for them but they haven’t completely proven their dominance here. Not sure how bad that blowing up would be, their credit segment is like $8B so a full loss would be less than one quarter of revenue so in the long term I think they’d be fine and just go back to their original business. Short term would hurt tho haha. Also their ceo was on cnbc and was asking something about their capex and expenditure for growth. He had a good response that even with their huge spending they are still fcf positive, sure it’s not a ton but it just goes to show how solid the company is that they can have this kind of spending, 50%+ top line grown and still make money. Ofc I think there are better long shots, like Rocket Lab, but as much as I love them it isn’t a proven company with decades of growth or a monopoly. If it works it’ll be huge, but that’s a big IF that I just don’t have with MELI. Although I’m up 3000% on rklb and flat with MELI over the same period, which says something about me thinking MELI is better. All that is just my long way of saying I agree.
Of the four I bought two as a turn around play - ended up selling out of lulu once the new CEO turned out to be a dud of an announcement I’ve made good money on buying & selling lulu drawdowns in the past but I guess this time is different (so far) & there’s better places to invest rn Still holding MELI and will probably buy more at some point over the next year… down about 7%atm
You do know margins don’t have to double for earnings to double right? MELI grew top line 50% in Q2 and averaged like 35% annual growth for 15 years. MELI will double their earnings in 1-2 years by top line growth alone. But they are also spending a lot which makes sense because the spending is working to increase demand. Their credit business is also pushing margins down temporarily as it grows out. But they also should be able to double their margins in 2 maybe 3 years. So with top line growth we’ll likely see a 4x increase in net income or more in 2-3 years
I've had a look at MeLi recently. At a 48x P/E and 12x P/B, the market isn't missing anythin, it is explicitly demanding that MELI’s current ~6-7% operating margin doubles over the next 1-2 years. The stock price already assumes management will successfully convert today's market share subsidies into massive future profits. If margin expansion takes 3 or 4 years instead of 1 or 2, the stock can easily suffer multiple contractions even while revenue continues to grow. It's not mispriced by the market, it's priced at a premium and requires perfection. Do the management know more that I do? Maybe. Probably. But I don't see it as a value play.
$MELI what are you doing bro!!
Opinions on MELI? They are growing revenue like crazy but can’t seem to make it profitable and meet expectations!!!
well $MELI as usual is sinking...
MELI Revenue: $10.2B (Est. $9.72B) +50% YoY 🔹 EPS: $9.19 (Est. $8.66) -11% YoY 🔹 Adjusted EBITDA: $975M 🔹 TPV: $101B; +56% YoY
Same story as always for MELI. Monster top line growth but market selling the decline in EPS numbers. Hard to bet against their management team for me.
I have AXON, BROS, EZPW, and MELI reporting after the bell. Quite the eclectic mix.
calls on ELF and CELH. MELI shares. super cheap price for calls compared to SNDK (lower risk/reward though)
who cares about SNDK -- ELF, CELH, and MELI bout to crush earnings
whats the earnings play to full port into this evening , from ELF /MELI/ AXON/ APP
Interested in RDW and MELI.

Not to mention long'd MSFT, long'd MELI, shorted PLTR, shorted CAT.. His Nvidia shorts and his LULU longs are like his only big two bad calls lately. He's actually kind of on a roll.
Current portfolio (\~$250): GOOGL - $74.79 V - $48.41 INTU - $33.37 MELI - $33.09 COST - $22.41 COKE - $21.84 TOST - $17.1
His shorts were very well timed. Shorted PLTR near ATH, shorted AMAT near ATH. QQQ puts near ATH. Bought VEEV, MELI, and others at the recent bottoms. Guy knows what he’s doing. His AI bubble thesis is too big brained for me, but I would not bet hard against him.
I love companies that just consistently grow their revenue like crazy. AXON and MELI are some of my biggest holdings
Just added to QXO (7% more shares), PRCT (13%), ISRG (6%), and NTDOY (13%). Nintendo is now my 2nd largest position (trailing MELI) by total cost basis (ex. ETFs which are \~1/2 of my total cost basis overall). My bull case on Nintendo: * Memory costs are cyclical and the JPY 100B FY27 guidance headwind from memory is transient * NTDOY guidance is legendarily conversative (some may even say outright sandbagging) * IP monetization is early (just 3% or total revenue) and will be a huge driver over the next decade * Install base of 100MM annual playing users drivers huge revenue regardless of future hardware sales * $14.3B is cash with zero debt. They can weather cyclical downturns, fund acquisitions, accelerate IP development, or just increase dividends Plenty can go wrong. I'm betting over the next 10+ years, they go right.
Good advice. I told him basically that and his latest is * **VOO 42.5%** * **QQQ 10%** * **FMTM Momentum ETF 7.5%** * **BRK.B 5%** * VXUS 5% * **MELI MercadoLibre 5%** * **RXRX 5%** * **SOPH 2.5%** * **MCK 5%** * **MU 2.5%** * **NU 2.5%** * **AMZN 2.5%** * **GOOGL 2.5%** * **META 2.5%** * **MP Minerals 2.5%**
* **QQQ 25%** I'd wait for a discount on this especially if it's in a tax advantaged account. This isn't an index you want to buy when it's expensive if you're not actively monitoring your account and willing to de-risk. Nasdaq has dropped 60% three times in just the past 30 years * **FMTM Momentum ETF 15%** This can become dead money in a bad market regime * **MELI MercadoLibre 9%** Latin America’s leading e-commerce, digital-payments, advertising and logistics ecosystem. 9% is way too big a position for a single stock with foreign currency risk. It also has to actually execute its expansion to grow into its valuation, which is anothe risk. It doesn't matter how well a company is doing or how big its potential is; what matters is stock price performance relative to your entry point. * **RXRX 7.5%** Uses automation, biological data and AI to discover and develop new medicines. Way too speculative and risky for this position size. * **BRK.B 7.5%** Dead money, period. * **VOO 6%** Way too small position size for a core index fund * **SOPH 5%** Provides software that analyzes genomic and clinical data for hospitals and laboratories. Way too speculative and risky for this position size. * **KRE 5%** Rregional real-estate markets ETF The entire world is having an interest rate problem and everything real-estate related is interest rate sensitive. Buying these only works if you time the market, I would pass * **MU 5%** Cyclical industry companies are ones to trade, not invest in * **NU 5%** Rapidly growing digital banking and financial-services platform across Latin America. Way too speculative and risky for this position size. * **AMZN 2.5%** Use this to buy VOO instead, Mag7 are not immortal. * **GOOGL 2.5%** Use this to buy VOO instead, Mag7 are not immortal. * **TRV 2.5% Insurer** Appropriate position size for this kind of holding but I wouldn't expect too much performance from this. * **MP Minerals 2.5%** Appropriate position size for this kind of holding but I wouldn't expect too much performance from this. Don't get me wrong, I don't worship the S&P 500, but this is not a well thought out portfolio
KRE looks interesting but like you said it has run. Regional bank ETF. In March it may have been smart to go all in on AI but that's not a great idea now. I like NU and MELI for some upside plays but I also have Mastercard and Berkshire.
Pelosi picks are out, UBER, INTC, Bury picks are in BABA, PYPL, MELI
Never is a long time but MELI, BROS and SHOP quickly come to mind.
Every time…PLTR, UNH, NVDA, MELI, SPCX, MU.
QCOM and DIS, was too boring after owning it for almost 11 years barely did anything. ISRG, yet another boring stock. MELI, needs more volatility. Alot of opportunity cost else where, would rather now just throw it into dividend income funds if i knew these companies were this boring....
I disagree, many global markets have outperformed the US over the last two years. While the Ai trade is strong in the US, it remains to be seen if the market will broaden beyond a few leading stocks. In Latin America I like MELI, in Europe try Bank of Santander, or ASML, in Canada try the banks— strongest bank oligopoly I know. In Italy, Leonardo for defence exposure. There’s also Enbridge in Canada, Cambridge is also responsible for moving 20% of the US natural gas. And you might want to pay attention to defence stocks among non US NATO countries— lots of coordination and growth.
Big moves with MELI, DUOL, and RDDT floating my port into the green for 2026. Gonna be fun to see the continual influx back into software as some of these companies continue to show their strength in the face of the narrative.
Outside of funds: ELV; MELI; BRK-B
Easy - all the stocks I already own! All the stocks that I would buy now if I was in buying mode. Google, MSFT, MELI, etc.
yeah, I have sold most of my MU the day after this latest earnings. Moving the gains to DCA into LLY, GE, MELI and SCHD.
MELI has been frustrating to hold. Solid company shit stock.. I just know the day i capitulate is the day it moons.
I bought MELI yesterday because I saw an advertisement while watching the world cup and I'm making bank. Apparently it's the Amazon of South America
Some of the most well known companies on earth are trading at a discount and out of favor! MSFT, NVDA, MELI, NOW, just to name a few. Patience and conviction is key though.
Sold GOOG today. I figured with the equity raise and the IPOs of the AI Labs, it was time to cash in on my largest position and enjoy the gains. I think the company will do fine in the short & medium term, I just think with the circular financing going on, I would like to completely step away from the AI trade. Added more to MELI, FIG, RDDT, while opening up a big bet on ISRG, a company I've been following for years but never felt comfortable enough to go in on.
might be okay if you van swing trade those. Bought some MELI today, looking at MCD if it continues its dump, decent price
MELI too tempting for this guy at this price
The Fidelity app also rates MELI a 0.8 (Very Bearish) and BN a 1.4. Their rating methodology is questionable to say the least.
I am calling it the Software Psych. There's a lot of interesting behavior in the numbers this week. Notably, CSU was up Friday. Major outlier. Roper? Ignored. A lot of payments seem to have hit a shelf (NU, SE, MELI, TOST), but I won't touch them because consumers are fucked. CHYM and SOFI are interesting here. Some Cybersec dogs have been ignored, but I think will see major recovery this next year or two, especially ZS, which just had that horrible earnings, but should recover. Checkpoint is a buy for me, and Rapid7 is risky but I know them well enough to think they will recover. There will some consolidation in this sector in the coming years, so be wary.
I bought AG, MELI, PSLV, BE, CAMT and 1 share of MU all close to the lows of the day.
I bought AG, MELI, PSLV, BE, CAMT and 1 share of MU all close to the lows of the day.
MELI is one of the few emerging market tech plays with genuine competitive moats. They're basically Amazon + PayPal for Latin America, and Mercado Pago is becoming a full-fledged digital bank in several countries. The Brazil macro situation has been weighing on it, but their logistics infrastructure investments are starting to pay off — shipping times dropped significantly last year and on-time delivery is now competing with Amazon. The valuation (40x+ earnings) keeps it volatile, but if you have a 3-5 year horizon this is a compounder. Just size it so a 20% drawdown doesn't spook you out.
Buying MELI on the dip will eventually pay off, right?
SPGI and MELI I do believe that they are high quality stocks and I do believe that they will print, it's just a matter of how much pain can you handle
Just buy MercadoLibre $MELI
There are of course a lot of ways to play these sectors but below are some of the ones I own/like. SHOP, MELI and SE for e commerce. AMD, Nvidia, AVGO for semis. SNOW, DDOG, MDB and NOW for software. OXY and CVX for oil.
MELI too. I don’t want to pay $1600 for one share
Me too. After getting burned from oct-Jan, I decided I’ll just rotate my portfolio to safe stocks. Bought the likes of msft, meta, unh, nvo, axp, csu, spot, nflx My fun stocks are RDDT and MELI I too feel like I picked all of the wrong horses
I don’t get the downvote tbh it’s a good pitch. I would say the risk/reward might not be the best today though. I have ouster but risk/reward MELI/META seem better.
Thanks! Yeah I went dumpster diving after moving out of the semi trade with ASML in Q1 this year. I also sold some short term laggards that I just didn't follow quite enough (the ratings agencies). I've been trying to take an approach closer to that which Peter Lynch suggests, which is to invest in what you know. Investing in a GOOG or FIG has been much easier to understand and manage for me. Same with RDDT & MELI, which are companies I or my family regularly interact with. Better to invest in what I know, than to invest in companies that I looked at that I just couldn't wrap my head around (BN & CSGP were two of those which I studied for years that I never got comfortable with). It took me like two months of research in 2022 to fully get into the mechanics of ASML, and the drawdowns on that one were frustrating to stomach. I made money back in 2023/2024 with NOW and I never fully wrapped my head around that one as well. I'll probably also rotate out of a couple of holdings that I still only understand peripherally
MELI and META and is not even close. Great companies at great valuations, both with excellent growth for the next years and years to come. Only reason they are down is because they are investing on making their business even better and both are seeing the results already with more acceleration on revenue and Gross profits
I have been buying MELI, RDDT, DUOL, FIG, NTDOY, and CNSWF over the past month in a half. I think once the dust settles on the semi supercycle, we'll see the strength of these firms in their earnings over the next few quarters.
I once owned MELI (sold at a loss on a downturn) and CVNA (bought $10 to sell $20) and many others that have ballooned. It is what it is. The S&P 500 is always changing and so is the market. Find the next balloon.
Compounding business with increasing revenue and earnings growth traded at a modest valuation (PEG below 1). Uber, nvidia, NU, INTR, MELI, adobe, expedia, reddit, meta, BN among others
Today I bought some MELI
$MELI what's up my fellow Burry enjoyer?
I like the look of NOW and MELI on [tradeodds.io](http://tradeodds.io) going into next week.
Cross-border e-commerce is a race to the bottom re. margins. Having only an infrastructure that enables third-party businesses to participate is not enough. Taxation, invoicing, accounting, payment requirements - both for the platform and the third-party sellers - are heavily localised. And there is the logistics leg. Unless the platform does not offer an all-in-one solution for the third-party vendors, it just does not worth it. And why would a big international /global brand integrate with a third party platform, and give up part of their margin, instead of just selling through their own Webshop - they already have heavy global operations, finance, logistics etc teams in-house to manage their transactions. These ‘traditional’ marketplace services might generate big amount of revenues. But look at Amazon - even them get most of their profit from AWS and not from the marketplace offering. It is just me, but being a bit familiar with international online marketplace operating model, I would not invest into this business (maybe under certain circumstances, when it’s a turnaround play, or if it’s coupled with another moat like MELI with their payment leg). I am not familiar with GLBE as a business, they might be different, but international e-commerce is just not attractive to me as it usually lacks a good risk /reward balance.
Non-tech, financials, and international stocks. Some examples MELI, COF, and KKR/APO. I have also been buying space stocks like LUNR.
NU, MELI and RDDT seem way undervalued. I am also thinking about moving some winnings into high yield securities like PFFA, STWD, ET.
buying SNDK and MELI
I'm seeing some very incising 5 and 20 day win rates for NOW and MELI on [tradeodds.io](http://tradeodds.io) and I hear congress and trump have been buying NOW
Learn to trim positions rather than bailing out entirely. And your positions in MSFT and META are ones you will kick yourself for not holding into 3 years later if you sell these now. If I were you, I'd add some MELI and sprinkle in a little ZVIA right now before they also launch over the next 5 years.
I'm working with much less capital than you but I've been struggling with the same emotional selling and poor timing. I keep trying to tell myself it is what it is and it's a lesson pretty much every investor has to learn at some point. Nobody's line ever just goes straight up. I recently took a $7k loss on LULU after finally deciding I was done with it after holding and averaging down for almost 2 years, then I see it starting to move up again although the value is still way off its highs, I sold MELI a few weeks ago and again that's going back up, sold out of half my UNH position at the bottom and lost a little money despite knowing I bought in really cheap and probably could've held it all, I made $4k instead of the $10k I should have had I held. The thing is though you have to move on once you sell a stock. Beating yourself up and, I'm guilty of it, I made a similar post in the value investing sub about how over the last few years I traded like $300k just to barely break even, but beating yourself up and dwelling does no good for your mental health or investing strategy it will only cause you to keep losing money. Not financial advice in the slightest but I think if you let go of META and MSFT you'll find yourself feeling sad again once they go back up. MSFT is my largest position so far and I'm not selling until it at least doubles which could take time but I don't think as much as the projections are showing. If it drops below my entry price of just under $400 again I'm loading the boat. It's the one stock I have 100% conviction in right now they'll never go away, corporate America runs on their products I wouldn't bet against that at all. META is riskier but I hold that too although much less. Earnings are good, no reason the stock should stay this low for long. I would just close the app and hold and see where things go if I were you. And also it sounds like you already have about $400-500k liquid net worth so you're already ahead of most people, if you're smart and can get a handle on the emotional aspect which is just as important as the technical analysis side of investing, you can make that money compound quickly. No need to be chasing anything too risky like options when you have that much to lose. If anything sell your current positions after you're in the green and throw it in VOO/VTI/VXUS/VTSAX take your pick at whatever low cost index fund and then just never sell. That's the beauty of index investing, if it goes down it just means you can buy more cheaper, unlike individual stocks where your gambling it all on horse to win it all but with indexes they pretty much always go up in the long term. Even buying at the top of the market you're still guaranteed to come out profitable unless a nuclear war breaks out or something of that magnitude.
Still time to buy META calls on Tuesday. $620 or 6/30 for July/August. I’m also dabbling in a MELI position
