If I were to DCA for 2 years into two large cap value plays for long term hold, what would you recommend?
I recommend taking a look at (VRT) - Vertiv
(VRT) Vertiv Holdings - To the Moon
Top 5 companies by insider *selling* activity over the past month
VRT - strong momentum and bullish options flow. Thoughts?
VRT - To call this B!+(#, or not to call? Calls are are cheep and easy, just like your mom. I’m tempted to yolo this s#!+…
Looking at VRT and BA for some quality options and decent turn around
Looking into some sustainable growth with VRT (short-term wins on BA are nice too)
VRT - what the hell is going on here! Just when I thought I did something right…
The stock that keeps on going. $VRT is barely getting started, 2021 is their turning point to profitability.
$VRT is the best shit that nobody is talking about
Noticed unusual bearish volume on VRT even though its been on a solid upward trend?

GOOG, TSM and VRT took up sizable positions during the tariff dips back in April/May
What we buying for index inclusion announcement? VRT, ARES, CRH, MRVL…?
I bought on the way down and then bought a large position in VRT around $58. Basically the bottom
60% VOO, 40% nuclear energy stocks (OKLO, LEU. CEG, VST, VRT, NNE, SMR)
VRT and MU are showing some nice volatility contraction/recoil. That being said I'm already up 40% on one and 30% on another so will exit them soon. I got a few SLV leaps in the last few days which I plan to hold for the next few months. SLV has the cleanest setup I've seen in a while. I alsk have a few TSM monthlies to play the semis sector.
Companies that sell storage, networking, power, cabling, cooling etc are all AI adjacencies seeing their revenue and profit set new records - same as some semis. This is just a subset of the economy. Why is STX APH VRT VST CEG CRDO up so much in past few years? They are getting AI boom same as NVDA AVGO, just not the headlines. Their revenue/profit plummets if AI market crashes.
Interesting picks, I'd keep an eye on VRT and MRVL based on market cap and sector trends. Good luck!
I would be stoked on SOFI too. That would help me I'm also just as happy that there are rumors about VRT possibly joining.
MU and VRT holding strong even on an extremely choppy day. I told ya yesterday these two are gonna be winners for the next month or so
So many of them Nvda, I worked there in 2010s so have a lot of RSU, decided to ETF some. Lost millions in todays value AMD, because working at Nvda, saw AMD as threat and bough 50k at $2 each (50k was more than half my NW at that point) I was very early in the semi/harward space so I had a lot of avgo, qcom, VRT, tsm, mu, mrvl I had a lot of research in bio pharma, obviously many lost their moat but the one who won, have 1000x from by buy point. The biggest regert would be AMD because I knew what I had. Could have be upto 5ishM today but alas you win some you lose some.
I'm personally not bullish on META, but I've never been, so obviously not the most accurate there. SNDK seems solid, and partaking in the compute hw buildup. However, I think you may have missed the main run-up (of course, nobody knows). ADBE I'm pretty skeptical. I think AI stuff (which they also do well) is going to shrink their market substantially. Like half the low-level graphic designers are going to be out of a job because you can ask AI to produce a logo and get something similar. ROBO is interesting -- I hadn't seen it before. I personally would say 5% for ROBO and VRT, 10% for SNDK and the remaining 80% in either VOO, QQQM, or VTI. Okay, this is your play money, so bump up the %'s in single stocks, but I'd personally look into other options or plays than ADBE or META. Some of it depends on what is going on in your main account, and how concentrated or balanced it is. I do think for "play" stocks, that you're hoping will explode, there are more interesting options (drones, quantum compute, space, cybersecurity, materials like uranium or rare earths). Be clear, it's gambling, but that seems to be what you want to do anyway.

lolz word his $VRT puts are getting wrecked so far.
So you are a VRT millionaire, right?
VRT is a great silent, steady performer.
VRT won’t “moonshot”, per se, but it will absolutely triple in the next 3-5 years.
Check out VRT. They are widely needed in that same space.
DELL and HPE aren't bad stocks, but IMO they're lower margin commodity players so I don't hold them for this purpose. They assemble servers but they aren't real picks and shovels or full providers to address the bottlenecks, so personally don't fit my strategy. IMO the better plays there are VRT, and though volatile and risky: CRWV, APLD, IREN, NBIS. I also hold ETN and VST in that space, and keep a small DLR position for now. I'm just not convinced that server assembly is the winning move. They're kind of stuck between hyperscalers who are eventually going to be building all of their own datacenters and the neoclouds who are filling that gap for now.
Amazon, MU, AVGO, TSM, ARM, VRT
"How concerned are you?" Mildly annoyed, but not concerned. That said, I'm also not sitting here with a portfolio that's like RDDT, VRT, IREN, PLTR, NVDA, NBIS, RKLB, OKLO or something. If I had that kind of portfolio I'd feel differently, but at the same time if you had that kind of portfolio and the associated performance off the April low, that performance wasn't going to be sustainable and when the turn happens, the downside can be as swift as the upside. I do certainly own growth, but it's not all tech and I have gradually built up exposure to value in recent months. So I'm not thrilled about this kiind of market, but it's not unexpected after months of basically "escalator up" and I don't have a portfolio that's entirely growth/AI, so I have that going for me at least.
today was wild, woke up stoked to sell my VRT calls and did for 50-80% profit at market open, then bought some beaten up growth name shares only to watch them get decimated. what a roller coaster
This only sends NVDA if the Saudis announce a binding, licensed supply deal with prepayments and near-term delivery; anything softer is just headline fluff and likely sell-the-news. Key checks tomorrow: 1) explicit US export-license path for top-bin GPUs, 2) wording like multi-year capacity reservation or prepay, 3) timelines tied to HBM and CoWoS packaging, not vague “partnership,” 4) networking choice (Ethernet = tailwind for ANET; pure InfiniBand = less so), 5) power buildout milestones (substations, transformers) that pull revenue into 2025–26, not 2027+. Positioning: lean call spreads into ER only if you hear prepay/capacity language; otherwise I’d fade IV with a tight iron condor and buy the dip later. Derivative plays with cleaner catalysts: VRT for cooling/power gear, ANET on Ethernet AI fabrics, PWR on grid work. Watch SMCI but mind export risk. I’ve used Snowflake and Databricks to track DC power and lead times, with DreamFactory to expose the same data via REST so finance and ops hit identical numbers. Bottom line: without export clarity and prepaid capacity, it’s a headline, not a catalyst.
As someone that’s up 100%+ on VRT shares after being sold them by CNBC this is somewhat interesting hearing about a company’s actual product. Probably doesn’t matter in reality since the market is dumb.
I bought just one of each strike of those calls at open, both up 50-60% already. I also noticed VRT announced a huge dividend increase, which pays next week, it may also just be a bet people will pile on to capture that. Either way, thanks for the call out man, I spend a lot of time looking at options activity and this one was so abnormal I had to jump in
I *think* VRT may go up regardless of what NVDA does. But I actually haven't bought the calls. Just noting the more than 20,000 contracts were opened today at the 190 strike for next Friday
Damn man for VRT that's $20m in premiums purchased for decently far OTM calls expiring next week. I bought some shares and will grab some calls tomorrow cause that just screams insider trading
He assumed you were saying VRT would go up cause NVDA will go up.
Maybe, but I'm talking about VRT
Big volume today on calls for NFLX and calls for VRT NFLX makes a ton of sense because the stock split VRT....I'm thinking it may be a play for NVDA earnings and someone may know something
I bought VRT bc it may bounce here around the 50 sma. If it doesn't I'm turning around and selling it back
Thanks! The one issue with the utlities is that I don't think they will execute aggressively enough. I see GEV and VRT oriented towards gas, natural gas extraction and piping might be issue?
$GEV and $VRT are the plays. Could take a look at $CEG, $VST, TLN and $NEE as well.
You're thinking correctly. AI infrastructure (datacenters, power, cooling) is the right play vs chasing model companies. **Your thesis is solid:** \- Datacenter compute demand = 10-20 year tailwind \- Cooling is critical (40MW racks generate insane heat) \- Every watt matters (power costs are 40%+ of datacenter opex) **Specific stocks in your focus areas (under $200):** **Datacenter Power & Services:** \- **VST** (Vistra, \~$120) - Power generation for datacenters \- **NEE** (NextEra, \~$70) - Renewable energy + datacenter power **Cooling:** \- **VRT** (Vertiv, \~$130) - 60% market share in high-density cooling \- **CARR** (Carrier, \~$80) - Datacenter HVAC systems **Compute Infrastructure:** \- **SMCI** (Super Micro, \~$45) - Server infrastructure (volatile but pure play) **One layer you're missing: Networking** \- **AVGO** (Broadcom, \~$170) - Custom AI networking chips \- AI clusters need 800Gbps interconnects. AVGO dominates this. **Space datacenters:** Too early (10+ years out). Stick to terrestrial infrastructure for now. **My take:** You're early and right. Elite funds are loading power/cooling plays while retail chases NVDA. Check recent 13F filings—CEG, VRT, VST all showing up. Focus on infrastructure. Let others fight over who builds the best AI model. Not financial advice. Just confirming you're on the right track.
Great picks on NVDA/TSM early. Here are some pure plays I'm watching that haven't had the 300%+ run yet: **1. AVGO (Broadcom) - AI Networking** You have the GPU layer (NVDA). AVGO is the networking layer—custom ASIC chips that connect AI clusters. Every hyperscaler needs this, regardless of who wins the AI model race. Trading at 25x earnings vs NVDA's 40x. Not cheap, but less consensus. **2. CEG (Constellation Energy) - Nuclear Power** You mentioned nuclear, but CEG is the purest play on AI datacenter power demand. AI will consume 8% of US grid by 2030 (up from 2% today). Microsoft signed a 20-year deal with CEG for 835MW. This is picks-and-shovels for the entire AI buildout. **3. VRT (Vertiv) - Datacenter Cooling** Unsexy but essential. 40MW AI racks generate insane heat. Every datacenter needs specialized cooling. VRT has 60%+ market share in high-density cooling systems. Multi-decade tailwind as AI scales. **Why these over autonomous/humanoid robots:** \- Autonomous driving = 5-10 year regulatory slog (TSLA is only pure play) \- Humanoid robots = too early (no revenue, all R&D) \- AI infrastructure = happening NOW, 10-20 year locked contracts Check 13F filings—elite funds are loading these three while retail chases the next shiny thing. Not financial advice. Just where I'm positioned for the next decade.
It may not be an imminent bubble burst, but too many people are also acting as if stocks up 200% in a year are in early innings and then are surprised when they lose 30-50% in a month the moment sentiment turns slightly. "the major players are investing heavily in AI and evolving rapidly." And the stocks are priced as if that's the case. Look at the Deepseek situation early this year - while the AI theme certainly rebounded, things like VRT and VST were down 25-35% in a matter of a few days - and then kept going lower until rebounding off the April low. So I'm not saying that there's an imminent bubble, but the easy money in AI imo has been made. Corrections will happen, but more broadly if you're now piling into AI at this point you have to really hope that the strength of the theme is maintained because the moment momentum starts to slow/concerns start to appear it looks like CRWV in the last month, or ORCL over the last couple of months. Even META is down nearly 20% since the end of October. "I’d like to focus on companies involved in building data centres" FIX and STRL are up 100%+ YTD (and massively over the last 5 years) and a lot of that is on the strength of the data center theme. If something caused that theme to slow or stop, there's not another growth theme of that magnitude for these names. I'm not bearish, I'm not thinking that there's a bubble that will imminently pop but on the opposite end, I don't think it's early either and a lot of the easy money has been made. I've seen people treat the speculative data center names in recent months like demand will be endless and this is just the start. Shortly after, NBIS is down 32% in a month and CRWV 45%.
VRT is the direction these new data centers are going. Better cooling of chips, less water use
why is SNDK option so god damn expensive? is TTMI and VRT worth buying? Hmmm
Data center infrastructure that actually have good earnings are having a massive day, COHR, WDC, VRT, GEV
Data infrastructure: VRT Satellites: GSAT and PL No brainer: JPM Covid buy: MPC Next up? Entered ABSI and RXRX today on the heavy heavy dips, entered NRIX back in April. Biotech / drug discovery has been walloped, but these 3 have things going for them. High risk obviously / not investment advice
Judging from earnings call questions, the bottleneck is neither chips nor electricity, but "powered shells", the step between construction of the structure and installation of the servers: the electrical equipment and connects the servers to the grid/generator, ensures power is uninterrupted, of the correct voltage, etc. Some plays on this theme are: PWR, ETN, VRT, IESC, FLR, ABBNY, HTHIY
If opening green, what are your plays? If red, what are your plays? Spy either way for me plus Hood, AMD, MU, VRT if green and oracle puts if red. Not sure what else to the downside though, everythings already too low
Too far ahead of itself. I want to own this stock badly for long term. During the earnings dump after hours I bought 50 shares then quickly sold for same price. I don’t want to fool with this valuation though and that is saying a lot coming from someone who owns VRT, RDDT, NBIS.
Ok thats another stock its on my list. Looks likes its down today I'll grab Appreciate the input I'll share some with you VRT and ASTS are also good. Vrt is for cooling and btc mining Asts is satelite direct to phone and has partnerships with att Vodafone etc. Having said that I dont want to buy too many because I think any moment a correction is coming and want to stay liquid Gonna go all in tqqq or soxl
Someone say something nice about VRT. Let that mf moon
had paper hands on CMG puts. Diamond handing AAPL, META, MSFT, and VRT calls. Portfolio hard V
She traded and her husband also trades. By the time they disclose their trades it might be months later but I still follow them for my own research. But yeah I ran into VRT by accident and I’m glad I did.
$VRT going vert. Data center winner
The crazy part about VRT was that I bought it when it was $60 because I thought Nancy Pelosi bought it. It wasn't until the stock hit $100 that I found out Nancy Pelosi bought VST and not VRT.
Dont invest in the data centers, invest in what makes these data centers work, CAT, VRT, NVDA.
I keep small CRWV and SMCI positions in my Compute stack and big VRT, ETN, and medium NBIS positions in my Datacenter stack. I avoid all the others discussed here for various reasons including: landlords not real capex beneficiaries, bad margins, AI is a side business or aspirational one for them, too small, or no contracts all talk, etc. (my portfolio thesis is AI-centric with ten sub-sector stacks in it, so ymmv)
Surprised with the lack of VRT mentioned.
Vertiv (VRT). Over 80% institutions holding
Got the VRT tip in 2023. Good thing I was too smart to buy then. I love working a 9-5 in a cubicle
I’ve kind of created my own picks and shovels data center ETF in my growth portfolio. I started with core holdings AAPL AMZN MSFT TSLA TSM Then I began to add NVDA PLTR ANET VRT and latest add was CEG
Just for an example. when there was deepseek news from earlier in the year, a ton of names got haircuts. NVDA was down like 20%, VRT was down like 30%, ANET down 22%, $STRL (a builder of data centers) was down like 30%. I wouldn't be surprised to see a ton of panic selling when the first one finally makes the announcement. Also wouldn't be surprised to see when one company cuts back, the others will follow.
AI capex from mag 7 shooting even higher and you’re telling me VRT isn’t going to rocket today?
Yo QQQ is up 8% since 2 weeks ago and just dumped 0.5% right now. I mean my port is very not diversified, but what the hell does your shit contain that it´s so bad for you? NVDA, PLTR, RR, WDC, GOOG, VRT, RKLB are all green asf
They can be good until they rocket past your strike. I’ve switched to only selling calls on stocks I’m ok selling. I ran into some bad luck being in “hot” stocks and selling calls at the wrong time. Some strikes I’m working with now, CCJ $80, AMD $190, TSM $260, VRT $165, IONQ $55, OKLO $85. I set a lot of these in early September with .20-.30 deltas, 45ish dte. It’s frustrating bc I don’t want to lose some of those. You cap your upside for a small premium that pales in comparison to unrealized gains that could be lost. I’m figuring I’m “down” roughly $40-$50k in unrealized gains to collect a couple grand in premium. Some I keep rolling and others have gotten too far away at the moment. In this market, cc’s are tough to win with but it can be done. Just don’t do it with the AI players like my dumba** did 😂🤦♂️
I was looking for $200 on VRT but I changed my mind to $210.
VRT energy storage is the future and they have been crushing earnings for the past few quarters
I didn't see this post but found it searching for others in SanDisk. Wondering what your projections are for earnings. I have 2- 50 calls expire Dec. My gut says sell one and buy out the other. Basically take the money and run into something else. My brain says buy them both and hold this forever. We know the run lately has been explosive. If earnings don't impress we will have a set back. However, it seems the market makers are in love with it. All of my other stocks have ran hard but not this hard. MU, CRDO, RMBS,PSTG, NVT, TER, VRT. My initial strategy was buy 2 calls if they run hard sell one call buy the other with the profits. Yes, it has worked out quite well. Just wondering what you think?
Yeah, at least for the time being, I don't think the next sustained move down by the Nasdaq lives up to the doom some like to foresee. I think it'd probably be 33-35% like 2022, with names that aren't semis or AI infra like GEV/VRT/CEG/VST (or even smaller cap) not getting tagged quite as hard.
That dip buying on VRT means its going to 230 in a month.
Carrier is predominantly a comfort cooling company. They offer both residential and commercial products but they’re mostly for keeping you and I warm/cool. If you’re really wanting to capitalize on AI trends on the cooling equipment side of things, VRT (Vertiv) has an extensive portfolio of CRAC/CRAHs that are predominantly used in the data center space. The only real competition they have is Stulz which is a privately owned corp.* You are right though, Comfort Systems owns many smaller companies that run the gamut from maintenance and repairs to installs and a lot of their revenue is in labor. *Note: Obviously not financial advice. Just work in/have worked in data centers on the cooling equipment side.
Sold out VRT at 184 (cost 180) and made money, salute to INTC!
**Sometimes I am fully 100% invested. If I find a new stock that I like, I have to sell something.** I usually sell stocks or ETFs that hasn't been performed since I bought it. Stock laggers for me. But I like to keep the high performers unless they have peaked and are slowly coming down off peak, such as Oracle. This week I like a new stock VRT ater great earnings yesterday before the opening bell. I bought it after the dip on earning yesterday and its up 9% since buying it 24 hours ago. Sometimes I park my extra investment money in a ETF such as QQQ or VONG until I find a stock I like. When I find a new stock, especially during quarterly earnings reporting. I sell off a stock that has been lagging in my portfolio. Everybody has their own system. Good luck.
Bought some VRT at 180, for intraday pump.
I decided to sell all of my Vertiv (VRT). 51 shares bought at $77 in February, & sold at $177 (130%\~). I'm 24 and I was recommended to sell by another advisor and take profits based on my current 1099 tax bracket. I'm slightly regretting it because I had a great entry point and it's a solid company. I should've reminded myself why I bought it in the first place. VRT is at $188 today after crushing earnings. Markets are volatile, and I can only hope to have an opportunity like I had the first time to enter at such a good price. I can't help but think I might regret this down the road. What would you have done?
It does this every earnings. It pops early morning and falls all day. At least the last 5 I believe have followed this same pattern It will go higher. Shares are key with VRT
VRT disappointed me today big time
Really hope this VRT spike isn’t a glitch
VRT killed their numbers yet…bad market day.
**I think 60-100 stocks is too many to mangage. especially around quarterly earnings reporting.** I have about 20 stocks holdings in a portfolio that always beats the returns of the S&P 500 index. Try to pick the best stocks in each sector to make your stocks more managable. When I find a new stock I like, then I liquidate the stock that hasn't been performaing the best in my holdings. I usually make my moves during quarterly earnings reporting. ISRG, BSX, APH, RTX, COF, MMM, VRT and GE had good earnings reports recently. I still manage to have a watchlist of 60 stocks, but I manage then in groups of similar sectors or categories for comparison, categories of Banks, IT Software, semi-conductors, utilities, Healthcare, retail, etc...Then I can easily separate the best of the sector.
The street discussion today is that despite blowout earnings for AI related stocks VRT, GEV, the stocks failed to keep a rally. This is on top of the momentum deflating from AI stocks, shiny rocks, and into the less popular pockets as auto, healthcare, insurance, and financial services yesterday. Basically even booking monstrous numbers failed to impress market, while nflx having a one-off fail to meet eps due to some random tax shit tanked it to oblivion, triggering a lot of sells for the heavily tech and AI focused market. People are seeing the end of the pumps and choosing to risk off before the really big earning tickets hit next week. It's still anyone's game, with Fed expectations of ending QT(meaning back to QE) in addition to rate cuts, big tech earnings, and 🥭+ Xi meeting on 10/31-11/1. Rest of the world CPI wasn't that bad. Market expects inflation to hold steady at 3.1% for tomorrow, to give confirmation that tariffs are not pushing up inflation a lot in the short run. If we get a hot print, it's fucking gg.
Get back into AI/HPC. GLXY and VRT had good earnings and guidance.
If you’re not getting in VRT right now after that quarter you must hate money
told you VRT was gonna smash it
$VRT - great earnings. Rally is just getting started VRT 🚀 💰 headed to $200
chose TXN Calls over COF, lost cash.. need to make it up now, what are other Calls for this week other than VRT, INTC AIRLINES MAY BE UP, JUST AS LAST WEEK?
VRT is gonna absolutely crush it, mark my words
