His MO has always been to blame someone else and it works because his supporters still belive him or don't care as long as the otherside is also "losing"

Yes, I want to dump my reliable 1000gbps fiber internet for something 10% the speed and much less reliable. They are vastly overstating their TAM. Starlink is amazing for rural access, military, marine, and aviation applications. However, most people have cheaper, faster, more reliable internet already. There are many companies in the aerospace sector working on cool space stuff without the hype. This is Tesla all over again. Elon's MO is creating subpar products and using promises that never pan out. I just have no idea how people are still buying what he is selling. There are better electric cars than Tesla, better AI than Grok, better neural interfaces than neurolink, better self-driving cars than Tesla, and better robots. I would understand if he had a history of success and leadership, but he never delivers and is a creepy freak.

Name anything he's ever unducked? I agree with your assessment, that is his MO, but he has t really unducked anything. Claims he does, but has never brought anything into a similar or better state. It's literally always worse.

Bullish on $MO, PM

I am not an expert in software stocks, but let me give it a try. \------ Even if there's no AI, Adobe is in a severe business **crisis**: **Canva** almost killed InDesign and Illustrator, 4B ARR, **+46%** YoY. Blackmagic Design (**DaVinci Resolve** \+ Hardwares) took away a portion of PR/AE's professional user share, 0.6B Sales, **\~+15%** YoY. **Figma** completely killed XD, 1.4B Sales, **+35%** YoY. **CapCut** (ByteDance) took away PR/AE's low-to-mid-end user share, 0.8B Sales, **+31%** YoY. (BTW, Bytedance has 30B CapEx + R&D, Adobe has 4.5B.) **Affinity** took away a portion of Photoshop's share, 100M Sales, one-time purchase. **CSP** took away a portion of Photoshop's share, 40M ARR, **+26%** YoY. BTW, there is **Krita** which is FOSS. (Think about what Blender and Godot did to the industry.) **Procreate** almost killed Fresco, 30M Sales, **\~+12%** YoY. Lightroom has no obvious single competitor, but in reality, it's being carved up, and it's basically non-existent on mobile. \------ If we talk about AI: Firstly, all of Adobe's tools are **NOT agent-friendly**. Figma and Krita are the best interm of agent-friendly. Canva is a disaster. Express is better than Canva and has the potential. But the problem is, Adobe was afraid that Express would hurt their traditional tools. So they deliberately withholded core functions. The Firefly image model has been destroyed by **GPT Image, Google Nano Banana, Bytedance Seedream, Alibaba Wan/Qwen-Image/Z-Image/Ovis-Image, Flux**... **Copyright compliance** (which is firefly's only advantage) looks like a moat, but it's **not**. **R&D capability** is the real key. If a model provider can make a good copyright non-compliant, they can make a copyright compliance one too, the reverse is not true. The video model (Rephrase.ai) has been destroyed by **Google Veo, ByteDance Seedance, Kuaishou Kling, Alibaba Wan**. The key here is, who has the **DATA**. (Alibaba might look weird, but they have Youku and Alibaba Pictures.) In principle, Meta, Sony, Tencent, Netflix also have high-quality video data, and might also enter the game. Adobe obviously has **NOTHING**, and it's physically impossible to compete. Firefly now had no choice but to integrates most of the US models above, but first, **the model providers siphon off the core profits**, and second, Canva integrates the **exact SAME models,** so Firefly has no moat. \------ Talking about Adobe: **Creative Cloud**, 14.2B, +12% The total revenue of the competitors mentioned above exceeds 7B, and creative tools have had a massive amount of **market share taken away**. Note a very serious thing: Creative overall is constantly **raising prices**, roughly estimated to have increased by 8%\~14% in '25, which means Creative Cloud's **organic growth is between -3.7%\~1.8%**. >e.g. Creative Cloud All Apps ($59.99) -> Creative Cloud Pro ($69.99) Document Cloud, 3.5B, **+15%** This is good news, Adobe PDF is eating away DocuSign's (NASDAQ: DOCU) share, which only has an +8% growth rate. Experience Cloud, 5.8B, +9.3% Competing heavily with Salesforce and Google. CRM is also considered the SaaS industry most easily replaced by AI. \------ Then again, as long as the price is right, even if growth is 0%, it can be considered. At this price, there are two ways we can bet on this: 1. **Kill itself**: Develop modern web-based applications from scratch—agent-friendly, high performance, modern features that meet current needs, completely backward incompatible, with a user experience no worse than Canva and CapCut—and compete directly with its own old products, including Pr and AE. If so, there might be a **massive valuation repair**. Because growth fixes DCFs. 2. Accept reality and **give up the struggle**. As long as management gives up the struggle, cuts expansionary spending (half of R&D, half of marketing, a quarter of G&A), and starts epic buybacks + dividend payouts, you will not only get these **shareholder returns** but also a **valuation boost**. To give two examples: **Philip Morris (MO)** and **Sage Group (LON:SGE)**. After the former started with 0% growth in 2018, its dividend-adjusted CAGR is 18%, and the latter is 16%. But the premise here is proving that it is truly **NOT IN DECLINE** but zero-growth (so that the DCF model will not give a result of **ZERO** ). Although the latter is a "tech stock," its **business model** is very solid. But this is not 100% guaranteed. For **Check Point (CHKP)**, the company's net profit growth from 2014 to 2024 was 4.5%, the share cancellation rate was 4.25%, and the company's dividend-adjusted stock price CAGR was indeed roughly 10% — meaning almost no valuation expansion. If counted from 2014 to present, the CAGR is 5.4%. The worst examples are the vast majority of SaaS stocks that dropped 80%, because hardly any SaaS companies that failed to compete can manage to stay flat without declining; 99% of the time, a **sudden death** would happen. Personally, I don't think it's worth it. **High growth + low valuation** = a lot of margin for error. **Low growth + low valuation** = opening a mystery box. Unless the business model is so solid that it doesn't even look like SaaS (like Sage Group/RELX Plc, but they're not cheap at all).

I would sell in a %, not a cash value. A cash value will become more difficult to maintain if you keep making money. You will do things like “well last time I made extra so this time I’ll just stretch it a little more”, or if things go really well for you, you will be like, “ok my new limit is $2000”, which is a 100% jump. By looking at stocks as a percentage win or loss, I feel like it balances all my opinions about different positions more fairly. For example; I look at my Google stock and I’m like “yeah I have made thousands, I should sell” but when I look at a RocketLab or something I go “oh I have only made a few hundred, I should hold”. In reality my Google may be up 100% but my RocketLab may be up 1000%…..I should sell the RocketLab. This is just MO and in no means I’m I suggesting I am a pro at this. I just found this to work better for me

Let me try to correct this misconception. Companies that pay their stock holders dividends are periodically paying out a portion of their earnings. They replace the paid out earnings during the next earnings period and pay dividends again. Some companies have done so for over 50 years while their stock price has continued to appreciate - the 58 Dividend Kings with Altria - MO being to top King in total dividends paid. Payout ratio is the % of earnings a company is paying out. Obviously, if the company is paying out more than 100% of its earnings that is cannibalizing the company’s finances. I avoid companies with a dividend payout ratio over 100%.

hudson701

All need to be very careful today. China trip 'surface-level' success, no major news on war, but uncertainty over tech hence mild sell-off and perhaps good dip buying opportunities. Expect a sharp sell on MO then into a slow recovery throughout the day, because the SPX just loves a v-shape pattern. Unless there's a TACO-tweet-nuke and it drops at some random point later on.

Yeah I have family in HI and they pay way more per gallon than I do in MO.

I think GTI should trade, at least at 2x p/s prior to any reform. Once 280e goes away, even if it's just for medical, I think it should quickly rerate to 2.5-3x p/s. MO is at around 5x, BTI is around 3.5x, PM is around 6x and STZ is around 3x. I am loading up on GTI.

tachyonvelocity

So smoking companies long thought to be commoditized and at risk of zero future because nobody smokes anymore and customers keep falling, are now trading at 6-7x EV/Sales because investors are bullish a part of their business (fruity cigarettes). BTI 5.5x EV/S, MO 7x EV/S. Meanwhile, Adobe is trading at 3.9x EV/S in a "commoditized" business due to AI. Most of the software names are also trading at <5x EV/S now, because they are "commoditized" businesses.

Fair question, not sure. They could always dilute further which seems like their MO. However, I think it’s a moot point. There next big splash is likely on the US

Altria (MO) is basically the godfather of dividend stocks if you specifically want one company. Yields over 5% Sphd yields under 5 (around 4.4%) but is an etf without the concentration risk of one company. If you are okay with covered call funds DIVO yields in the 6 range and writes covered calls on around 20% when they see an opportunity, not indiscriminately like some funds chasing crazy yields. Divo is going to be the least tax efficient with some potentially being ordinary income.

North_Material_1972

I did MO ( Altria) got in on a dip at 64.58 with 4k, now its hovering around 68.?? and dividends are great. Its one of the most stable with a little play at times. Too much volatility in last year, I'm riding this out for next 2 years unless something changes.

Schmergenheimer

The way you phrased your question and other comment tells me that Etrade is saving you from yourself. Naked shorting a stock offers a fixed potential return but unlimited potential loss. On something like DAL, BAC, or MO that are very established companies, the likelihood that they go up by 50% in a couple of days is very low. On a penny stock, it's much more likely. When it does happen, if you don't have enough cash or other marginable securities, you'll be subject to a margin call, and the amount could be a lot. When shorting a stock with a higher price, you could short it hoping it drops 5% and still make a decent amount of money. With a penny stock, it might have to lose 50% of its value to get the same dollar per share return. That said, with a penny stock, you could see that kind of swing (in or against your favor) from a Facebook post, which isn't something you'd see on more established stocks. There's also the fact that Etrade has to find shares for you to short. This means they need a customer who has a long position and has signed a lending agreement. Etrade needs to pay them the going interest rate for the stock, which can be 30% or 60% on a penny stock (compared with 2% on something like SPY). You'll be paying that interest. You'll also be responsible for covering any dividends that happen while your short position is open. If Etrade has no customers who are long the shares, the can't let you short them. The reality for most retail traders is that naked shorting is too much risk with too little reward. Unless you have non-public information to trade on, your ability to time a short properly is going to be overshadowed by all of the institutions doing the same. Your best way to bet on a stock going down is to buy puts.

Kenosis94

How is anybody who has ever tried to do business with him doing? The man doesn't believe in win-win scenarios. His singular world view is that if someone else is benefitting then he must be losing whatever they are gaining. The he will burn down the building with everyone but him in it to get what the people inside "took from him". His MO has been known since decades before he became president the first time. He is successful because rubes like you are easy for him to con.

It's impossible for me to be succinct when I talk about this, but I'm going to try this time. I went a similar route and renovated houses with the intent to rent. However I take way to much pride in my work and I was creating homes I wanted to live in (that was my MO) and thus didn't have the heart to rent them. I could return up to 70% in 5 months and averaged 50%. But that didn't factor in all the headaches, wear and tear on my body, dealing with permits, inspectors, yada yada yada. Meanwhile the two different advisors I had managing my investments were just simply not listening to me and the strategies I wanted to use. They were returning 5-10% from 2019-2022. Frustrated with them and frustrated needing to go to the chiropractor twice a week dumped the properties and took over investment management Jan 4, 2023. I took the top 5 performing ETFs, imported all the holdings, averaged the % each one held, eliminated any stock that had a negative return for the YTD, 6MO and 1YR. I then put half my money in the two best performing ETF's over the previous 5 years (I know, I know, past results do not guarantee future results) and split the other half between 10 stocks that were consistently out performing. I've made a slow migration to all semiconductor/technology since then but I've been consistently returning way - WAY - more than I would have had I stuck to real estate. Even if I did hold on to the houses and rent them. But it all depends on where you live too. I'm in Cincinnati which has consistently been a gold mine for real estate investors because of the affordable housing here.

RJNavarrete

On several days this week, I literally said, "this has been a hot name on social, it's probably wise to grab some shares." But I never did... They each ran up 15-45% this week. Conclusion: Overthinking in this type of market is so stupid. My new MO: Just go for it and set aggressive stop losses.

RJNavarrete

I'm with you. Also, on several days I literally said, "this has been a hot name on social, it's probably wise to grab some shares." but never did - watched them each run up 15-25% this week. Overthinking in this type of market is so stupid. My new MO: Just set stop losses and go for it.

Let it run a bit and reload the short position at a higher share price, does seem to be the MO for the shorts on this one.

lotoex1

9 out of my 12 holdings are up. I started buying almost exactly 4 years ago now. The over all portfolio is up 20% + dividends. I like to buy stuff I have used and will continue to use/buy. Also things that have paid and increased dividends for over over 20 years. KO is where I started and I am up 20% on it. VZ I am up 21% and MO I am up 57%. Then a Magic the Gathering channel I watch on YouTube was telling me that in October of 2023 Hasbro stock was way down and to buy something, anything. It was around $65 and went to $45 over the next 2 months. It has now bounced back to $95. One of the ones that are down is Kroger. I am down 2%, but only started buying it about 9 months ago. My big loser is Wendys. I started buying it in 2024 and I am down 52% on it.

I'm in my late 40s with a lot of stock equity because I've been a very disciplined long term investor as well as buying individual stocks on dips. My taxable stock equity does not have two commas but my retirement accounts do. The main issues are 1. Generating monthly revenue for actually living and not just piling up a silo of digital gold 2. Taxes. 3. Health insurance. In 2017-2018 I had what i felt was a relatively solid strategy if I could get 700k in investments, buying MO which at the time was yielding 8%, and living just off the dividends, which would be 56k a year being taxed at 15%, which would be tight but something I could live on. Because of inflation and general cost of living stuff, such a simple strategy would no longer be feasible. If I could find a stock as reliable as MO that was yielding 8% I would probably need closer to a million in equity, which I don't have, plus to sell and then buy all that stock would be a rather large taxable event. On top of that, I'm hoping to leverage my taxable equities at some point into a down payment on buying an actual property, which will be much more doable if I have a steady job and income, versus trying to buy a house while just living off of a tight quarterly dividend income. The sort of middle ground would be semi-retiring, working like one week or a few days per month so supplement income generating revenue, which is much more likely and feasible in the next couple of years. I have an occupation that allows for about as much flexibility as can be imagined. Anyway the details of my work are much easier logistically, it's more about trying to figure out how to generate revenue with my war chest on a consistent basis, that's the biggest stumbling block for me. I'm like.. I know stocks. Really well. I know how to make number go up. I don't know how "make number go up" can translate into cash into my bank account.

AVs Waymo leads, Robots China is years ahead, Chips can't unseat TSMC, AI Anthropic, openAI and Google are all ahead. I get the hype for a Tesla motors repeat performance but the context is completely different.

Nothing new, socialism and monopolization for corporations, free market for the people. it is kinda weird btw that the government would intervene to save a relatively small company that unlike previous bailouts do not really seem to have a systemic weight. That said while I really dislike the method this was done (and I am sure that some insiders profited on this... or some of his "friends" had a significant stake in the company I mean... this seems to be the MO), I don't 100% hate that at least there are warrants put in place to that help remunerate the government in exchange for this intervention.

Rattus_NorvegicUwUs

He literally forgets everyone who did him a favor. Trumps MO is to stab people in the back. Be it his business partners, or his voters. Also. He’s not going to be around much longer so who gives a fuck about staying in a dying pedos good graces?

Rock_or_Rol

Houthis make the most sense for lateral escalation as has been Iran’s MO Honestly, I wouldn’t be surprised if refineries and plants starts blowing up in the states if we go after their power plants. I don’t think people realize just how bad this can get or how easy it’d be to smuggle drones in Mexico to hit Texas plants. There are *a lot* of facilities up the coast from Corpus Christi to Louisiana.. it’s crazy how little the market hedges risk here

Significant_Gene7582

To answer your question unlike people who give advice you haven't asked for, MO is a solid dividend play.

“Insider trading is perfectly fine when it’s for me, criminal when it’s for thee.” This admins MO

BlindLDTBlind

Thanks I will do more research. But the TDP plant in Carthage MO was using similar technology making a refined oil from turkey and chicken scraps at the equivalent of around $80 bbl.

Ok_Persimmon9849

lmao of course there was, orange man just lies it's his MO

Broken-Sarcasm-Meter

No, this is probably all the funds that sold at the end of Q1 finally admitting that stocks aren’t going down and need to buy back in. This seems to be the MO during trump terms.  It happened in 2020, 2025, 2026.  Now we are gonna be in some crazy short squeeze through mid-March. Companies jacked up their prices but now won’t be giving anything back as oil tanks.  Delta is up 5% since the war started presumably due to price gouging 

melvinzee

But isnt the MO to inverse him?

Sober_Alcoholic_

And everyone’s pension funds and the like become exit liquidity for the insiders that got first dibs on shares. Seems like a well orchestrated grift to extract more money from the working people and funnel it to the same group of insecure ass holes. That’s Elons MO, after all. Fucking leech.

orsomeshitidk

God damn I guess someone really does always have it worse lmao. Fuckin Joplin MO

PackComprehensive226

Create a problem so big that the others will have no choice but to carry on with it is part of his MO. But ofc NATO nations figured it out they're not stupid. Even if they do intervene they want to wait long for enough for him to look like an idiot and then do their part separetely.

"You aren't block it - we are blocking it" Definitely fits his MO.

Wowmuchrya

He said in a conference that if vance messed up he'd blame him and if he didn't he'd take credit. It's his MO. He'll just fire people after they take the blame for his mistakes.

MusicoftheMarket

Well, that used to be miners for me but those very recently became "exciting" after years of being ignored. I continue to hold large positions. This isn't quite the answer since I haven't actively bought more in a bit over a month but have increased my position this year: MO Altria Group. That thing has given me marvelous dividends for years but has recently seen an unusual jump in price. I have eased off buying more but am continuing to hold. JPM used to be one of my largest positions, often my largest individual name but I have been easing off on it and have trimmed significantly. I did this due to a lager concern around credit markets more broadly and I don't like some of their exposures. I do still have some of that position however. The last one I'd put in the boring category is AGNC. That has paid well and when the market has been there I have sold some options on it as well.

$META is such a L stock lol. 98% of the revenue come from Advertising like wtf. $NVDA also a meh biz. $GOOGL AND $AMZN doing better selling better chips one day and will EAT AWAY $LONG $AMZN $GOOGL $MSFT FREE MO

HoneyDutch

I agree with everything you said but Israel absolutely has blackmail over our politicians. It’s part of their MO.

MO (Altria). Tobacco is boring

YurpeeTheHerpee

Put it all into KVUE, PFE, MO, and 20k into dividend ETFs and uninstall.

jersey856

this guy thinks you should buy a nice dividend stock. maybe $MO money because compound growth>cancer

reaper527

big fan of AMZN and PEP, less of a fan of MCD. fast food prices have gotten too high to the point there's going to be demand destruction. if you're just looking it because of the dividends, you've got better options. MO is great, XOM fell to a somewhat reasonable entry point today (even if it's still somewhat high) this sub HATES T, but lots of times "inverse reddit" is the way to go.

Senpai_Slime

Lmao her whole MO is saying trust the president and things are peachy, expect zero actual information

Chem_BPY

I mean, this shouldn't be surprising to anyone. This is Trump's MO. Create an unnecessary problem. Manipulate the market for a few weeks while the problem drags on. And then fix the issue you created and claim victory.

Waste_Priority_3663

They attack regardless considering that’s their MO.

JuliusCaesar121

I bet Israel will kill every single person negotiating for the Iranians. That's been theIR MO in this war

MysticMarauder69

I'm reading this based on how Trump generally speaks and conducts himself. I don't think he's being literal, in the genocidal sense. The last couple of weeks he hasn't stopped talking about how if Iran doesn't take his shiitty deal, then the US and Isreal will destroy all their infrastructure and severely regress the county and it's people. He says all this through the lens of "if we destroy their capacity, then they'll never have nuclear capabilities," which is his entire "justification" for this war. So he's talking in a general sense, not a literal one. What he means is: we're going to destroy so much of your stuff, society (i.e., civilization) as it exists for Iran, will be destroyed. Givein the implications of a nuclear bomb, and the convention capabilities of the US, plus his standard MO (brinksmanship, strong mansaber-rattling, ultimatums), he's not going to launch a nuclear strike to erase the Iranian people.

pickleparty16

The republican/trump MO is to massively fuck up, refuse to admit it publicly, do something that gets back to the status quo (but likely worse), and finally claim victory.

jiggolo420

Mango loves to have others make big choices under duress.. its been his MO the whole 2nd term. Let's see if he actually follows through on a promise for once. Just yesterday was folding on the .09% medicade rates

Miracle_007_

My hunch is Isreal started the bombings as to close off any chance for Trump to back down. This is their MO.

Soffatjockis

What's up with bombing civilian bridges? What possibly would you achieved by this other than pure terrorism? Then again, bombing civilian shit is Israels MO. Wouldn't be surprised if they bomb a few hospitals and another girls school before the day is over.

1Oc2s52a12864s3sfa

After going on dates with woman who see casual dating as the norm, my MO to woman from now on is to love bomb the fuck out of them. If the sampling size is large enough, there's one bound to be obsessed with your validation like a drug and can't live without it. That's the the type of vulnerable damaged goods I want. You have leverage that they won't leave. And if they do? It's all within your control #damaged_ego

Few_Maybe_6515

You've nailed it, I'm always tempted to buy individual names (e.g. MO), but I always come back to earth.
