What are the stocks you've bought recently? I got EMBJ, MELI, NFLX and MU.

TheoryShort7304

I am -1% down YTD. I started investing in US market from India from last year. Right now, downward averaging MSFT, Meta, and accumulating Google, Nvidia, TSMC, MELI. Also putting some money in indexes of EU, Japan and Germany..

BladeFireQ

MSFT, META, NVDA (That shit haven't moved in months despite the insane results), MU, V and MELI

light-yagamii

Especially MELI. US stocks are somewhat insulated, but I think the rest of the world will feel the economic impact of this war a lot more. I thought about buying puts on this company early March but forgot about it amongst everything else. It’s only down 10% after all the shenanigans. This stock went to 600/700 back in 2022

Icy-Sheepherder-7595

I have 4 of these, thought I bought in low on all of them and losing my shirt 🤣🤣 Cost basis for each: META - $600 MSFT - $400 ADBE - $290 MELI - $2000 Holding the line but I wish I waited to buy until now. Could be worse, could be better.

JustJoshin_69

MSFT, MELI, RKLB, GOOG, AMZN, NNOX. Sold ISRG and NFLX to help fund the buying

Elegant_Primary_7133

META if you want safety while MELI if you want growth RDDT if you want risk

MitchCurry

Just added to MELI (3% more shares), NOW (29%), NU (9%), UBER (36%), TOST (20%), AVDV (8%), AVUV (2%), QQQ (2%), and VOO (2%).

BulmasEx

For long term growth it has to be MELI. Meta is the safest pick but won’t grow as much as much and RDDT is definitely the riskiest. Also the whole ID verification thing Reddit wants to do hurts them a lot.

JustJoshin_69

I <3 MELI

Fastbaq

Added more Microsoft, Amazon, Credo, Newmont and MU Opened position in EFX and want to start new positions in AXP, MELI, ELF, ANET

I just started looking at Mercado L. Per nasdaq.com, MELI’s PE is forecast to be, by 2028, half of what it is presently, from roughly 50 to 25. Moreover, consider its unusually low PEG. For me and many others, price to earnings is arguably a more informative ratio than PE. MELI’s PEG is than 1, about .8. All of which means, to me anyway, that MELI definitely merits consideration.

NicknamesRforlosers

I didn’t know re MELI. Appreciate having it brought to my attention.

NicknamesRforlosers

Thanks for this post. I just started looking at Mercado L. Per nasdaq.com, MELI’s PE is forecast to be ,by 2028, half of what it is presently. And the PEG is already attractive, less than 1, about .8. Meaning, for me anyway, it merits consideration.

I am really interested in opening positions in SNPS around 380 and ISRG at a way lower price. Added slightly to most of the the stocks in my individual portfolio. META, BN, MELI, NTDOY, SPGI, V, TDG Also sold some index in my Roth to buy MSFT, MCO and RACE. I don’t believe it’s possible to catch the bottom but we have to be ready to buy great businesses at a price we are okay with. It can always go lower and we always need to have some liquidity.

tired_ani

Added to MSFT, NTDOY, SPGI, MELI, BN. Great time to be a stock picker. So many entrenched businesses at a discount, at the worst Hyperscslars become like the utility providers of the AI world. Also Sooo many asset light businesses at a reasonable price

UnObtainium17

Added a bit more MU the open. So far into this tomfoolery I have bought EMBJ, MELI, NFLX and MU.

TheConstellationGuy

There are lots of high quality names trading at discounts which I believe show much better next ~2-4 year returns than FIX at the current $1,450 price. I think FIX is now a big gamble given the valuations and multiple. FIX is already up another whopping 57% YTD following a 130% run up last year. This rally simply can't continue long term given the physical constraints of labor workforce. $1,450 is basically already pricing in a 20-30% YoY growth for this year, going into 2027, and possibly even into 2028. As we all know, the entire SaaS sector is unjustifiably punished. As my name implies, I've been continuing to actively invest in CSU. There are plenty of other high quality names that are very discounted. Some I have tracked that I believe are high quality at fair or even good valuations include SPGI, FICO, MCO, MSFT, CRM, BKNG, MELI, KNSL, CPRT, and BRO.

how we feeling about MELI ?

About_to_kms

Their revenue growth is fantastic. People are praising the service. It is a loved product. I rate the management and trust them. They are aligned with shareholders I just done see SEA Ltd usurping MELI And Amazon is a great opportunity , nothing against it, but I’d rather my money in MELI as I see more potential growth

Existing_Emphasis_33

Thanks. Why MELI the most?

Bossanova12345

I have AMZN and MELI. MELI is way further from its high so I think I’m buying another half share or so next payday.

djskeets15

I'd say all 3, but more into SEA and MELI, bc their way smaller market cap and are growing in developing countries at a faster rate than Amazon. But all depends on your risk tolerance, I'd probably do 30%(sea)-30%(meli)-40%(amazon) to stabilize the trio.

nick_riviera24

CAPEX is only a problem if it fails to produce good returns. If you believe is the quality of the CAPEX, then it is a positive and price depression due to CAPEX is your gain. SE and MELI are in developing areas and are introducing financial products as well as merchant services. I have money in all three. I have some money in all three but more in MELI.

MELI Siempre habrá alguien diciendo que es una ganga, que sus métricas son las mejores del universo. Y yo les termino creyendo.

JUMIA!!! $JMIA...EM turnaround play.. Pan African E-Commerce company led by CEO Francis Dufay.. Company was founded in 2013 and IPO'd in 2019 to much fanfare hitting almost $55 a share in 2021.. but the burn was out of control and they didn't have a business that worked to serve the local markets... it was going to go BK right before Dufay took over as CEO in Feb of 2023 after running the Côte d'Ivoire operations since 2014 and growing it into their best/only performing market.. currently about $865M market cap... They just had their record revenue quarter in Q4 $61M up 34% YOY (GMV growing roughly 36%YOY).. They have brought the net cash burn down to around $1.7M for the quarter with $78M in cash and no debt.. much higher barrier to entry for competition than people realize.. The markets they serve are 8 countries 600M people (Nigeria, Egypt, Morocco, Kenya, Cote d'Ivoire, Senegal, Ghana, Uganda) they are young and growing and the last to the digitally connected party.. The first thing Francis did as CEO was get them out of several underperforming markets where they couldn't win in the near term down from 13 countries to 8.. He also closed the gaudy Dubai headquarters and reduced headcount.. everyone in corporate now lives in Africa.. he then spent the first two years rebuilding the supply in China (only place he hired in the first two years was in Shenzhen) where he needed to rebuild the sellers trust and retool the website to sell products that the customers could afford.. think white label tv's for $70 and sneakers for $6.. Then they consolidated all the warehouses in their core markets (they rent these buildings keeping costs low like ML does in South America).. the next thing was to target the rural "poor" where even his colleagues thought was crazy, but that is where the majority of the population lives.. so they set up pick up stations to lower the cost of last mile delivery and set up "J-Force Teams" to educate people on e-commerce.. Their cost to deliver to customers is down from $10+ to $1.90 and they are profitable on the variable cost on every delivery, and now more than 60% of their orders come from these rural areas..Amazon and Temu can't just pour money into these markets to compete..Jumia has built a super sophisticated partner networks for delivery and logistics..They use local partners to move the goods and and locals own the pick up stations this keeps Jumia from being ripped off because people aren't robbing their neighbors like they may be tempted to with a company listed in the USA.. these are countries with no national post office, they have solved this and plan grow a logitics vertical around this long term for non Jumia customers..Amazon can't just buy 1000 delivery trucks in NIgeria (they don't exist and the infrastructure to service such assets is nowhere to be found..Francis Dufay has cracked the code to grow this business and even at a 10x by 2030 it will be a fraction of the market cap of global E-commerce companies like SEA and MELI.. It is a combination of the digital technological revolution of the last 25 years in the US, the untapped growth off the floor in countries with GDP per capita under $10K, and the strong frugal leadership of Francis Dufay who acts like and is an owner and the excellent steward of your capital over the next 3 to 5 years..I am long JMIA

Icy-Sheepherder-7595

I guess some need to learn the hard way too. I have. I'm done with short term. Got way too much on the line to do that and it's not worth the stress. I'm down several thousands right now but because my port is majority MAG 7 (I bought on the dip but didn't quite buy at the very bottom) and S&P I'm not that worried. Theres some like NVO, MELI, and ADBE that I have where yeah I probably should've been more patient or just not bought but hell no am I taking the loss now. I still believe in everything I hold it's just that it would've been cool if I times the bottom, which we all know is impossible. So I'm glad to be down 5-6% now if it means I can be up 30-50% in a few years. It's a game of priorities and mentally conditioning yourself when times get rough and I think too many people gamble with money they can't lose. I personally live a little too below what most people would consider normal means, like I pinch pennies as if I'm broke and shop at grocery stores in bad neighborhoods because they're cheaper than where I live lmao, when im rich ill begin splurging but I have a vision that I haven't achieved yet so we're holding out in all that, I'm rambling but my point is not everyones built for the long haul, many need their money for priorities but a lot also I think can't cut back their lifestyles, and thus they look towards to stock market to continue funding their lifestyle but don't understand that isn't what this is for at all.

UnObtainium17

Bought another EMBJ and MELI.. thinking about selling META because id still be fine without that bum ass company.

UnObtainium17

MELI, META, EMBJ, NFLX just unfortunate I don't have enough cash to buy the dip right now. I might have to sell my other stocks.

Wickrest

$MELI just needs a dragon ball partnership and it'll hit 5k a share the next day

UnObtainium17

Sold a few of my ETFs to add more EMBJ and MELI. Hopefully US leaves this BRICS country alone.

Dabbler_much

+4% YTD. Mainly thanks to MU, TSMC, SNDK, XLE, LLY & metals. Plus exited NBIS, SN, CCL at near ATHs. Big drops on MSFT, MELI, URA, AMZ etc the usual tech names. Overall worry is so far we haven’t seen a sizeable crash, & that may be coming soon. So keeping dry powder on the sidelines instead of going right back in.

AluminiumCaffeine

Indeed, trying to figure out how I can buy more META and MELI rn

WickedSensitiveCrew

When I start hearing stocks I own mentioned on this sub, like FICO or MELI, I’m always afraid to check my portfolio. It usually means they’re down 10–20% in two days. It’s always the ones this sub doesn’t mention, like HCA, that end up being flat or up on the day.

Im buying more MELI

fuck them for changing their MELI rating to neutral one day after I bought

JPM buys puts on $MELI, downgrades it. Stock drops 7% for no reason. Easy money

UnObtainium17

I actually like all of them long term, I am holding on. MELI, EMBJ I got in recently, I like my cost basis, just have to let it play out. TSM, RYCEY and NU I got in years ago and still a solid business with strong growth. META, I have that. MSFT, used to be my biggest holding but sold half bit by bit months ago. Looking into buying the dip if the trend continues.

Does anyone know why MELI is crashing ?

$MELI chart looks horrendous. about to reach 200 sma on 5 yr timeline tho

$MELI dropping 5% cause analyst says it's only gonna go up 20% and not 30% is hilarious

tired_ani

Anybody know any high quality companies ( durable, growing revenue and EPS) that are not correlated to the AI trade, SaaSpocolypse, Energy) Like I own MELI and TDG. I would like to own ISRG. BRKB would be another example. Appreciate any ideas.

MELI, ZETA because I understand online marketing since it's my company's first line of expense. NBIS because I use AI so much already.

Right now, no. Not concerned with amazon. They been in brazil since 2012. And MELI outgrew them by a lot ans still to this day.

UnObtainium17

Just a little concern though still not as scared as the 2020. I sold around 10% of my Google, VTI and Micron last week, most of gains left as cash and some i used to get more netflix and MELI. It was few % off the peak but gains is gains. I have surrendered to the fact that i'll never time the peak or the bottom perfectly and it is liberating. I will keep on monitoring the situation, Because if things go worse I would sell more and move it to IAU and VDE.

International just dying . Not sure why MELI and Nintendo would be effected, might buy some

ToSeeAgainAgainAgain

Me reading this comment 7 months later. To be fair I haven't done any DD on them, are you still bullish on MELI?

tired_ani

Added tiny amounts to MCO, MELI, FTNT, PANW, NTDOY, MSFT, BN. I believe all of them are solid long term investments. Happy to see positive price action in my NFLX and FICO.

MitchCurry

My favorite thing about MELI is they almost never dilute shareholders. Since 2013, their shares outstanding (basic and diluted) have increased just 15%. Of that 15%, nearly 65% of the dilution was in 2019 as part of a larger strategic investment from PayPal. MELI raised $1.85B ($750MM from PayPal) to invest in MercadoPago, which has paid off handsomely. Their S/O dilution is at just 1.2% annually since 2013. SBC as a % of revenue has peaked at 3.3% (2020) and has been at or around 1% since then. That's unheard for a tech company.

tired_ani

So happy to finally see some positive signal in SaaS adjacent names. Eyeing MELI and TDG, TDG is still dwelling at the price at which the mgmt is supposed to be doing buybacks.

Boring_Activity3155

I just bought MELI so expect -10% in the next few days

AluminiumCaffeine

NFLX/RDDT helping offset MELI for me today- so many earnings tomorrow morning for me though and tonight NU, OPRA, CPNG, FOUR, and VST

MitchCurry

If you have been wanting to start a position in MELI or add more shares and you haven’t don so today, I don’t know what you’re waiting for. It’s basically priced for no growth despite having incredible numbers and an expanding moat.

UnObtainium17

MELI got to be the first earnings report i can remember where 4th quarter revenue grew by 45% yoy and went -10% the next morning.

What's going on it our wacky president always upsetting the market. With that aside, your portfolio is pretty good, especially if you'll hold for long term. I'd keep: BRK.B, MELI, META, MSFT, and VTI. Probably LULU as well. What you could do is just add more to VTI as you feel like. If you wanted to sell ADBE, LULU, NVO, you could sell that and put in VTI.

Bnjkio

Hes a partner at Sur Energy and OpenAI announced it will work with Sur Energy on Stargate Argentina. How is he going to help? Idk but a meaningful relationship regardless. Also he’s buddies with Galperin from MELI and is in the Endeavour club which is the paypal mafia of south america. Endeavour chair is edgar bronfman jr, and researching his dad’s background is fun homework. This company is very well connected politically. And they hired Kerridge from BKSY along with a raise and further invt from an inst of ~30m as part of rapid expansion. Early innings.

MagnesiumKitten

Well we're need a specific example of that. buying high is most unlikely if you're doing a reasonably good estimate of the Fair Value and know how undervalued the stock is As for the stock stagnating or having a collapse due to a bad quarter or two, usually those recover a bit more slowly I've had meltdowns with United Health, The Trade Desk, Adobe, Centene, Globant, Nike, STMicroelectronics, Teleflex, Zoetis. I'm not that terribly concerned. Ones that stagnated were Starbucks and Service Corporation International. The latter one was the funeral industry and it choked out with buying massive amounts of land for expansion of it's empire of graveyards, and all the recession, interest ratings and inflation woes derailed them for a while. I got out of both, just not making much of anything. I think SCI was like maybe a 4% loss Bought it was $72 and it's worth $85 now Missed out $87 dollars in November 2024 laughs, oh well only high risk companies I've touched are banks ......... Walden: Works great, until it doesn't and you actual bought high....without realizing it Well, that applies to Buffett too I never did understand his like of Sears, and Bank of America perplexed me. And Liberty XM and Sirius were perplexing as well. Buffett just kept it simple saying rule one was never overplay for a stock Rule two was never overpay for a stock I bought United Health like two weeks ago, and last week it dropped 19%. Not concerned, wished I waited, but what can you do. Other than Zacks suggested that UNH was not really a Buy but a Hold. When the next stock matures, or I get impatient, I'll yank it out and put some of into The Trade Desk, I'm tempted with Microsoft, but I'd rather put it elsewhere, and MercadoLibre MELI is promising for the year ahead, but it's a lousy time to buy. Value Investing is Value investing, whatever the time frame.

memelackey

Well my leading indicators BKNG and MELI are still down mega bigly which leads me to believe institutions actually want to reduce and this is all FUD... even if it lasts a week and we don't drill again until post 14th Tuesdsy

AluminiumCaffeine

I would think sympathy to AMZN? Which is a little silly since #1 AMZN is NA over SA, and #2 AMZN is down in part due to AWS capex of which MELI doesnt share that same profile

MELI below 2000 would be such a steal.

$HEPS - been holding for years now since $1, its now \~$2.75, its going to $20+. Market cap is less than 1Billion, compare to $MELI etc.

fordprecept

I'm definitely seeing a lot of stocks ready to fly soon. PFE, NVO, MELI, UBER, SMR, AES, FISV, CRWV, NBIS On a riskier play note, I think NIO and EVTL could be multi-baggers this year. Easily up at least 80% from current levels, imo.

notseelen

I'm "boring", but I designed my portfolio to run well no matter what is happening in the market  for me, that means low-cost, broad-based indexes now, that said, I am kinda watching stuff like MELI, AMZN, MSFT, and even BTC to potentially add some extra cash into a side account if they keep getting beat down
