Sir you have no clue how datacenters work, do you? Anyone who's done the most basic of research can see the facts: What's the lead time on natural gas turbines for electricity, which is a backbone to near-term compute in America? (hint: its 5+ years) What has the price of high-bandwidth memory done in the last 12MO? What's the price of storage done in the same timeframe? Does the above indicate a lack of demand? How many datacenters have been cancelled due to NIMBY despite total annual AI capex going from 120B to 600B? How would this impact supply/demand given that: openAI went from $200M to $15BN ARR in 3 years, what's the TAM in 3 years? This is not an outlier since Anthropic is basically running parallel numbers. My suggestion? Find a new hobby, cause you don't understand a goddam thing about datacenters. Do you think you could go to a datacenter and have them commit even a pathetic mW worth of H200/Blackwell clusters to you, let alone any of the 15+ gW coming online in 2025/2026? Shit no, you'd be told to fuck off & if you're lucky they'll talk to you in 2027. And they won't because frontier labs are their best customer and will continue to be. Best you're gonna get is some AWS-level cloud-computing. Stop embarrassing yourself talking about how you can use the latest version of chatGPT today therefore compute demand isn't accounted for.
They aren’t growth stocks, but my K, MO, and JNJ calls have been printing while the rest of my port bleeds.
Gonna need an update on those calls at MO OP
SPX pumped 30 points on MO, and Dow pumped 260 points before selling off - how did you know to go short?!
Hookers and blow. Jk jk. Dividend stocks, get paid every quarter(3 months) for your investments. The dividend stocks I’ve been eyeing: NLY, TU, ET, KHC. There’s Verizon and MO, but they’re way too high. Also check out r/Dividends. That or invest in the S&P 500 or top stocks, Apple has quadrupled my investment long term.
I just told someone this morning, that Trump will just dump more crap out there and wait for the courts to ban it.... AGAIN. That's his criminal MO (modus operendi).
The safest route would be to put it all in a dividend ETF or mutual fund. Even if there were a market downturn, the contraction of stock valuations would likely be modest (compared to growth stocks), and you'd still have the income stream. A more speculative approach would be to pick two or three individual high-dividend-paying stocks and opt to take the dividends as cash rather than reinvesting them. One that I like is Altria (MO). Smoking is in decline, but nicotine delivery remains a steady business, and the dividend payout is high in part because many don't want to invest in an addiction-based business.
It is more expensive than NVDA. This will not hold up once the market falls, is anything but a defensive stock. I could take KO , PEP, CVX even MO is a better pick.
Just playing devils advocate here, because the entire tariff idea is bonkers to begin with. Republicans were never into it. Going through congress would have been a major uphill battle and would have expended a lot of political capital to communicate why we needed to do it and what the outcomes should be. I think it’s important to understand that this administration never clearly communicated its goals or intentions around tariffs. So going through congress was never a realistic possibility. But just enacting whatever they want through the powers of the executive branch? That’s just their MO and they could strongarm congress to get in line or else get primaried. Seems like that worked for a while but I think they’ve spent a lot of the political capital in that strategy too.

MO has a stake in CRON. MO is up too.
This sounds exactly how Comcast ended up getting MediaOne after AT&T over paid for MO and TCI. Comcast came out smelling like roses. I feel Netflix is using the same strategy.
Same here with MO, up like 250% but from where I bought in it is paying me like 25% in dividends year to year.
I'm not betting the farm, but I am heavily overweighted MO. Smoking may be in decline, but it's still a very profitable business. PE is low, and the dividend his very attractive. The company is selling innovative non-tobacco products for nicotine delivery. This isn't a growth bet, but I think tech growth is overinvested and due for a bear.
I only invest in companies that I'm a customer of. Unfortunately, I'm a little overweight PLBY,DEO, and MO at the moment.
Actually I'm doing okay with XLP, JNJ, KO, MO, CL. I also own some high flyers that have been getting their asses kicked of late, but consumer staples has evened things out a bit.

LOL FR though, bullish AF. That’s his MO. Set some unreasonable goal like owning Canada, and now when he folds to a trade talk for them to buy our bonds again, he can claim victory by the US being “compensated” for half a bridge

His MO is to destroy anything other people have that he can’t have himself. See Nobel prize and Kennedy Center.
Actually, my portfolio has never been higher, sitting at 235K right now. Thanks TFC, PM, and MO 🤌🏼.
Park most of it in something like AB and MO, sell covered calls on the shares, and trade futures on the rest. Wait out the market flush
Everything in my port double-digit red except MO just chillin in the corner with a cig and a cool +1.5%.
I wasn't referring to you. I respect your thorough and mathematical approach - that's my MO too. My comment was directed toward the dude referencing "Josh" making $$700 most likely by finding a "head and shoulders" pattern or some other BS nonsense. I've book marked the github code as I want to test it out myself. Nothing but respect for you. Sorry if it didn't sound that way.
My boomer stocks are ripping. SCHD killing it, bought XOM on its generational breakout, it’s ripping. Bought MO after its earnings drop, ripping. International (VXUS) is doing very well too. I believe people are losing faith in AI and moving to under valued stocks.
May need to add Paypal to my WEN & MO cigar butts. If they just brought Elon back, the P/E ratio would soar from 8.8.

Hey there! Just checking how your calls turned out and having just check MO and BA, you would have been up at least 50% as of 30 minutes prior to opening of the market! Very impressive! I've been trying to catch these exact setups lately, exclusively these types of setups actually. Basically, you're catching the contract at the lowest price you can. Only a few days before expirations, but just before it (hypothetically) jumps up in price. At the price you bought it at, even just a 5% or 10% increase in the underlying asset could lead to significant profit margins. Correct me if I'm wrong please, I'm still learning hahaha. Hope to hear from you friend!
I keep V and MO for the same reasons.
Probably tobacco companies like Altria (MO)

This is interesting too, because Vireo just bought Proper Brands in MO, which is probably the second largest MO player behind Good Day Farms. Turning around to well the Scott's (who is politically connected) might mean something....
Cost problem = Non affordable = Not investable = Hype and dreams. ISS has only about 90kw of energy input/rejection. The task of demonstrating the feasibility is high school level project, i could probably do it on a napkin if inputs are given. But Musk MO is to not give anything you could falsify him on, just lip service which will be propagated by fanbase. I am waiting for the estimates and simplified physical studies. Eg. amount of power required, thus amount of sq.ft of panels and heat regulators. This will land you in the ball park estimate how datacenter in space could be compared against ones on the ground cost wise. Add in the fact that all of this is merely Musk hyping up his exit on Spacex. Mars is long forgotten and soon the Moon will be too as he is unable to finish the basics of his megalomanic rocket prototype. This is also why he needs to exit, because VC:s are no longer giving him any money.
And I wouldn’t have made tons of money off MO.
Bro. F the extra $100k a year? put half of it into MO. You’re set for life. $1 million annual salary without touching principal.
When MO moves it prints
Cool. Cool. Just wanted to make sure that he was sticking to his normal MO of talking about stuff he has no clue about and then changing his tune shortly thereafter.
How much of it would you be willing to risk losing if, in expectation, you would earn somewhat more? 3 month treasurys currently yield 3.7% (https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/DGS3MO), so if you want no risk, you're looking for something with about that rate. That rate can change over time, particularly if the Federal Reserve adjusts their policy rate. You can buy short term treasury bills directly through Schwab and roll them over every few months, or longer term floating rate treasury notes (2 year note linked to 3mo treasury rates). You can buy one of these money market funds offered through Schwab (https://www.schwab.com/money-market-funds). That's simpler but a bit lower yield. If you are willing to take on some risk of loss, you could put some money into stock and bond funds.
Jobs, the movement away from the dollar as universal currency, and the dropping value of the dollar are my main concern. Healthcare cost and a million government workers added to unemployment aren’t helping either. This combined with inflation is going to be bad. Eventually inflation is going to be higher than people can afford or borrow to cover. At that point I don’t think the market can grow at the same pace as inflation. Which will make other markets much more attractive. I also think the trade policy and isolationism is putting a lot of pressure on the market. Almost everything limited to the American market requires outside materials which are getting more expensive every day either due to the dollar’s fall or tariffs. Foreign and national tourism is taking a major hit as well. Low gas prices means people aren’t traveling, that should be worrying to some people. In addition the outcome of the politics is going to be bad. Eventually someone is going to draw a line in the sand. If ICE makes the mistake of hitting the wrong low income neighborhood instead of all these suburbs it will result in a mass casualty event. Finally I think Trump and his handlers are going to do something stupid with the US debt. Most likely they miss a payment but I can see them declaring a government bankruptcy just because it fits Trump’s MO. The man hates paying his debts. At the very least I feel like they are intentionally trying to implement inflation or even hyper inflation to reduce the burden of the national debt. There is too much talk of weakening the dollar. All combined I just don't like the risk of the American market. I feel like the biggest growth is going to be inflationary growth and weakening dollar, not actual growth.
They absolutely will now do the thing that they accused China of doing, it's their MO
For what it's worth, this seems to be Trump's MO. Claim that he's going to do some insane thing, shake his fist and pound the table and insist he's 100% absolutely going to do the insane thing, and then quietly settle for something way less insane. It's his favorite negotiating tactic. As an american, we do not want war with Europe. The american people will not tolerate and will not support a war with Europe. I believe it would be a bridge too far for most republicans in congress.
INTC seems over extended, quick short on MO Friday, especially if positive earnings
GOP MO is to completely tear things out, wave that they "solved a wasteful problem" then never have a plan to replace a critical pillar of society. Then just point to the Dems for destroying said critical pillar.
Very much this sub's MO to have a heavily-upvoted "Why I am PREPARING my DRY POWDER for this MASSIVE DIP" post on the front page the day before the S&P is down by a whopping... 1.3%.
You missed smoking. Do you know how much soldiers smoke? When your country goes to war, people smoke more. Long MO with a 7% yield and 50+ years of dividends. Smoke em up, Jonny!
The casino cases are not that... follow the links they provided. From the casino link in the article "Trump backed out of another pledge to the state before the Taj Mahal opened in 1990. Construction vendors were not getting paid and the casino, then owned by Resorts International, was over-budget and behind schedule. Trump pushed to take over, saying he needed full control to get prime financing instead of high-interest, high-risk junk bonds. “The rates are so high on the junk bonds that they make the company – (a company) that could have been a very good company – they make them junk,” Trump told the state commission at a Feb. 8, 1988, hearing. “So, it’s like a self-fulfilling prophecy almost.” Trump’s testimony sold himself as a skilled manager who could achieve deals where others failed and get banks to offer better financing. “I mean, the banks call me all the time. It’s easier to finance if Donald Trump owns it.” Then Trump financed the Taj with exactly what he promised he would not: $675 million in junk bonds at 14% interest, bankruptcy records show. The Taj missed its first interest payment in 1990. Eleven months later, the casino filed for bankruptcy and Trump gave up 50% of his ownership to bondholders in the restructuring deal." [Article](https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/2016/07/05/trump-atlantic-city-usa-today-network-records-regulators/86717110/) You say you aren't defending any of it, but then do. It is not just suing gamblers, it is him THROUGH his casinos breaking legal promises and committing crimes. Take your time, read the articles and look into it. Here is one example of it. [Defrauding piano maker](https://theweek.com/speedreads/651801/music-store-owner-sold-trump-100000-worth-pianos-trump-refused-pay) and yes this is a small example, but microcosms exist for a reason, and we 10 years of evidence to show this is his MO.
What will he do next? He’s going to keep flailing until he finds something that works. If he follows his prior MO then canceling the midterms will slowly move from a “joke” to real as fuck in about 3 months
Has Trump run out of rhetoric to boost the markets? His MO is to juice the markets to offset his wrecking ball policies but what's left in the tank here? Huang rushing the stage and shouting "AI" 38 times into the microphone probably won't work the $100Billion magic anymore either.
The problem with a random youtube link is it could be a huge waste of time, lame... a rickroll or perhaps something incredible https://youtu.be/Z8LtP1GsoeA?si=DifNMlJzqtkhY1MO
Even my Boomer shit is mostly green even before accounting for dividends - MO, LMT, CVX, UPS, INTC. A few losers in there like PFE and PYPL but I feel like I can’t hardly lose. Now I’m nervous.
MO weeklies printing this week Not financials advice, has to pullback eventually
No. But China is extremely good at getting their hands on current designs and plans, and reverse engineering them to be made cheaper and more efficiently. That’s been their MO for decades now, and it’s a winning formula for them.
Verizon is down 30% over the last five years. Complete garbage stock there is no reason to own individually. If you want to burn money, but still get a 7% dividend, look at $MO or something,
Nah, they won’t strike until market close Friday. This is 🥭’s MO.
I hate Trump and think he's been an idiot with tariffs. This is the right way to use tariffs. My opinion about him or his typical tariff usage hasn't changed. You're totally right, and for whatever reason reddit doesn't like to acknowledge when a particular policy is a good one. I think we have gotten to the point where "if I like someone I must like everything about them and if I dislike someone I must dislike everything about them" is the MO, which sucks because Republicans fall in line while Democrats rip to shreds people that they have 90% policy alignment with.
Ya, my mother had Contrafund from way back in the ‘80s so I’m aware of Danoff, too. Great time for Fidelity. I built my first portfolio (Lynch-style) right before the Tech Bubble in ‘98 and as a computer nerd I was heavy into tech companies so there were a lot of lessons learned through pain. Also invested in MO back then because of all the brands under their umbrella (pre-spin offs) and then the tobacco lawsuits started rolling in. Early bumps in the road teaching me about the risks to individual stocks.
Look for a stock that gapped up 10% since yesterday's close following positive news --> see if it continued to rise during today's Premarket, with no pullback --> expect it to dump on MO as traders take profit --> go short capitalising on this move, taking profit too. That's exactly what happened with TLRY.
Trump's MO is finding little used laws and abusing them
Ez solution: redefine the amount of MO that you consider to be little 🧠👈
It worked on my KO and MO calls, but unfortunately sold them way too early today
My MO is to disregard all got reddit tips, wait until the price skyrockets, get FOMO and emotionally purchase, then see the price crater, then drown my sorrows in a bottle.
The university, the college, the sportswear store, the city in SC, the city in MO, the bank, or the Canadian province?
Private prison data for the portfolio: **Prison Stock Fundamentals:** | Ticker | Company | Op Margin | P/E | 52W Position | |:-------|:--------|:----------|:----|:-------------| | CXW | CoreCivic | **24%** | 31.0 | 17% below high | | GEO | GEO Group | 13% | 70.2 | **54% below high** | Interesting divergence: CXW has better margins (24% vs 13%) but GEO is more beaten down (54% below highs). **8-Quarter Margin Trend (GEO):** | Period | Op Margin | Trend | |:-------|:----------|:------| | Q3 2023 | 14% | — | | Q1 2024 | 13% | ↓ | | Q3 2024 | 14% | ↔ | | Q3 2025 | 6% | **↓ WARNING** | GEO's margins are compressing despite the "favorable" political environment. The 70x P/E is pricing in a turnaround that hasn't materialized. **CXW** is the better play: higher margins, cheaper valuation, and more stable trend. If you're going full unethical, CXW + tobacco (MO) gives you 24% and 55% operating margins respectively. That's a cash machine.
PLTR is unethical but doesn't fit the value thesis: **PLTR Reality Check:** | Metric | PLTR | MO (Tobacco) | LMT (Defense) | |:-------|:-----|:-------------|:--------------| | Op Margin | 11% | **55%** | 10% | | P/E Ratio | **830x** | 8.5x | 22.6x | | Revenue | $2.9B | $20.4B | $71B | | 52W Position | +168% above low | +10% above low | +23% above low | PLTR has already run **168%** from its 52-week low. You're not buying "sin" at a discount - you're buying hype at all-time highs. The unethical portfolio thesis works because sin stocks trade at **depressed multiples** (tobacco at 8x, oil at 16x) despite strong cash generation. PLTR trades at 830x earnings - that's not a value play, that's a momentum bet. If you want surveillance tech exposure at a reasonable price, look at defense primes that actually contract with the same agencies (Palantir's biggest customers).
Around $1.5k initially with my $MO play 6 years ago, then I just kept rolling it into more plays and it snowballed ($MO, $AAPL & $TSLA calls; $SPY puts right before the crash in 2020, $THCB (now $MVST, I sold the peak after DA announcement), then went full retard in $PLTR and real estate. Then after a hiatus of trading options during the previous admin, I dipped my toes back in with $GOOGL LEAPS when everyone was crying OpenAI would usurp them. Only “regret” is not YOLO’ing more into $GOOGL but I’ve learned a long time ago to not let greed consume me.
Why don't people trade the Dow here? It's way better than SPX- it fucking blasted 600 points in almost one candle after MO, then briefly touched almost 900 before pulling back slightly at the close. The thing is a beast!
I'm thinking of going fairly big into MO, like $500k for that 7%+ dividend.
MO is the US part of Philip Morris. The one operating in other countries would be Philip Morris International.
Just FYI, MO makes cigarettes, in case you don't want to support that. VZ's share price is lower than it was in 1999. Better off just putting that money in a HYSA. CVX is the king of growth dividend stocks. Clear winner.
Some of my favs: MO, AGNC, F, VZ, VALE, KVUE Shout-out to the obvious ones like WMT and TGT
Devils advocate - UNH is not good however there are 400,000 people working there. Optum hires every level of clinical staff that care for patients. Statistically they are in the majority doing the right thing. Financially - signs point otherwise. Its not comparable to a stock like PLTR/RTX/MO/DKNG
Consider the following: **MO** Altria Group **7.4%** 60 Years (Dividend growth streak in years) **VZ** Verizon Communications **6.6%** 20 Years **O** Realty Income **5.5%** 30+ Years **KMB** Kimberly-Clark **4.9%** 53 Years **CVX** Chevron **4.4%** 38 Years
Some ideas - REITS seem undervalued now. Agree Reality looks like a good pick. Verizon 7% and if they grow you could get capital appreciation too. PG if you get it 135-140. CLX, KMB, CL. Then there’s Oil stocks and MO. Less popular but seem well covered for dividend. Pfizer? Maybe. World Cup is coming up so DEO might get a boost - and the have a new CEO.
right. If so, then why the hell we invading a sovereign nation....THis has always been merica's MO.
BRK has Oil, coke, ally, Kraft Heinz, tbills. I augment it with MO, CSX & GEO.
China inviting foreign companies just to pick up on their trade skills and then subsidise domestic equivalents has been their MO for a while. What was Elon thinking opening a Tesla factory there...
* Exxon Mobil ($XOM): 3.42% * Chevron ($CVX): 4.49% * Flutter Entertainment ($FLUT): N/A * MGM Resorts ($MGM): N/A * Lockheed Martin ($LMT): 2.85% * RTX Corp ($RTX): 1.48% * Phillip Morris ($PM): 3.67% * Altria ($MO): 7.35% Average of 2.9075% dividend overall. Quick and dirty math: if you had $100,000 equally spread in all above stocks on Jan. 1, 2025 you'd have made $13,690 at the end of the year, and $2,907.50 in dividend for a total of $16,597.50. * SPY: 1.07% Same $100,000 for SPY would give you $16,640 just from the stock, plus $1,070 dividend, totaling $17,710. So even with the combined dividend, you would gain more betting your parents' hard earned Benjamins in SPY rather than the 8 above. Even without dividends.
But the dividend is mostly pretty good for the sin stocks (e.g. 7.35% for MO currently).
this year i’m gonna take $120k to $1m and then put it all in $MO and use the 7% dividend payout for pure 0DTE gambling 😎
I mean, you could just see how they performed last year. * Exxon Mobil ($XOM): +12.14% * Chevron ($CVX): +3.89% * Flutter Entertainment ($FLUT): -15.55% * MGM Resorts ($MGM): +8.41% * Lockheed Martin ($LMT): +0.29% * RTX Corp ($RTX): +58.09% * Phillip Morris ($PM): +32.45% * Altria ($MO): +9.81% So on average you'd have made 13.69% (nice) if you'd have invested equally in all of them. Which is less than SPY (16.64%).
