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?

I like VRT, if data centers get built it doesn’t matter how useless the AI is
Cramer bullish on VRT so puts?
Nvidia GTC 2026 event is starting tomorrow and usually the partner companies mentioned during the event gets a nice spike. I am tracking the below stock. What are you watching? **Optical Connectivity** Coherent (COHR) Lumentum Holdings (LITE) Marvell Technology (MRVL) **Data Center Infrastructure** Super Micro Computer (SMCI) Vertiv Holdings (VRT) **Memory** Micron Technology (MU) Western Digital (WDC)
Up 22.24% Mainly Micron followed by AI infrastructure bottleneck plays like, optics and energy delivery companies like GEV. Looking at VRT now. Late to the party but still early.
GEV, AGX and VRT short puts have done well for me
VRT Re: r454b, that’s not right. Some are using r32, so thats an option. A lot of their stuff in big data centers is going to be agnostic of refrigerant (water cooled). Also, the way the eco policies are getting killed, those refrigerant restrictions may be shot down. Regardless, they are the leader in the space by far and a company people select and don’t allow other options. Definitely a good stock if you think data centers and Ai will continue.
I honestly don't understand why you would ever invest in garbage stocks like CRWV NBIS or IREN. Bunch of meme companies with no moat propped up by NVDA. No moat whatsoever, but market does really like those with a moat ex. VRT
And I can say the same about $VRT and $IBRX
>Everyone's buying NVDA for AI exposure There's a better way... >...But GPUs don't work without memory. Like literally cannot function....There are three companies that make this stuff. Micron is one of them. Even better than that... None of that hardware works without power or air conditioning, and one company dominates the market for supplying it: **VRT** \- Vertiv Holdings, LLC I won't hijack your DD with a derivative DD so ask chatGPT about them. And if you want to go one degree of separation further, all those air conditioners require a new, patented refrigerant (R454B) that only one company is licensed to manufacture for the next several years: **CC** \- The Chemours Company A company DuPont spun-off to absorb all the heat of the 'forever chemical' lawsuits they were facing. Having done that last year, all CC needs to do now is make that refrigerant and watch the money roll in...
> when you follow cnbc, you're already too late i mean, i'm up 60% on VRT after grabbing it a couple months ago on a cnbc mention.
Aside from SATS, which I think everyone agrees was the most surprising additon, each company is growing top line 20-60% and all profitable with growing bottom line. This is why most people lose to just SP500. These new additons are adding value, yet you would just want to discard them with some lazy "AI/tech name". Do have any idea on their financials, what they do, and why their revenues (and stock prices) are booming? I own VOO, SPY (from before VOO existed), and the 3 other individuals VRT LITE COHR and did my DD on all of them.
PLTR Puts sub 147 Archer Calls 10 bucks by october. NBIS and IONQ throw about 10k in and hold for a while. how often you trade? daily? may try to snipein the red with tomorrow on the open and sell high. otherwise I really like VRT right now
Should have held my VRT 275c instead of selling yesterday 😭
ORCL is still at a higher PE than MSFT META and those dumped hard. Market is rewarding the ones with a moat (VRT, AVGO, MRVL, BE) and dumping the ones that are dime a dozen. There's nothing inherently special ORCL CRWV NBIS etc are doing. Disclaimer: I am shorting BE, expecting it to dump on ORCL earnings because it has run up so much
I wouldn't even try to capitalize on any of this nonsense going on. You could be up 10% one day and down 20% the next. I'm staying with what I own, and not touching anything. But I would still buy VRT as DC cooling is still the biggest net positive for VRT.
VRT is fighting the good fight to stay in the green this week. 👍🏼
Today's purchases: ITA, VRT, and a little bit of COHR, CEG, GEV, ETN, TER My major positions are MU (80%) then AI buildout choke points followed by energy company's that are well positioned to supply it all. Now going into ITA after white house telling the weapons department they're going to ramp up production, also watching KRMN and HWM.
My homeboys VRT and NET are looking healthier than ever.
VRT is up 10% wow, on what? That is def risk on
Was scared last night but VRT calls still printed. Shoutout Zukk for the heads up on this one
VRT gonna fly today since it was added to S&P
Know what haven't sold off? The datacenter cooling companies. VRT, FIX, hell Autodesk
Mainly because they are not trying to time short-term price action just pick winners and drop losers on a long-term timeline. Take moving VRT to the 500 and dropping PYPL (still in the 500) from the 100, they are balancing exposure years down the road, investment timelines.
Hell yea VRT and LITE. They are on my 2026 buy list 🔥
I am looking at this post you made in the r/interactivebrokers subreddit: [https://www.reddit.com/r/interactivebrokers/comments/1rn61uh/have\_a\_question\_on\_short\_call\_assigned\_in\_eth/](https://www.reddit.com/r/interactivebrokers/comments/1rn61uh/have_a_question_on_short_call_assigned_in_eth/) No, you received a *net* credit of .90 premium because you both sold the short call and bought the long call to open the position. 2.432 was the premium on the short call when you opened the position. It's right there in the first image in that post. The premium on the long call was 1.547. You got paid 2.432 and paid 1.547. 2.432 - 1.547 = 0.885 (not sure why this doesn't exactly match the 0.90, unless you've rounded up.) Again, you didn't buy shares. Have you never heard of short-selling stock? You don't have to buy shares first in order to sell them. You sold 100 shares short. You are now short 100 shares. That's what the -100 means in the third image in your post. You got assigned because someone exercised because VRT went over 255 before 5:30 pm Eastern. Someone was able to exercise a long strike 255 call and buy shares at 255, so you had to sell shares at 255. That is what happened. Then the 2.432 you received for the short call is added to the 255 to yield an effective sale price of 257.432.
VRT is legit. Used to work for them before the Emerson spinoff. Network Power is what they used to go by. Good company. Long hold.
VRT been solid. Used to work for them before the Emerson spinoff years ago and knew they’d be a winner.
There are formulas to estimate weighting and how many billions need to be bought for each stock's addition. VRT's market cap is $92B ish, double LITEs. CVNA had a $100B market cap, TSLA had a $500B, CRH had $90B and $PLTR had $80B. Hope that helps a bit.
This. I just wanted to add the S&P 500 funds are up to $2.9T AUM from $800B in 2020 and there has always been front running. This added AUM may increase the moves over time as billions need to be purchased vs. millions just a few years ago. For example, VRT's market cap is 92 billion and estimates are $5B-$8B will need to be purchased. That's a lot of stock.
One of my biggest fumbles was selling my VRT for NVIDIA when VRT was 80$
(You could always use an image hosting site like imgur to link to images. I'm looking at the images you posted elsewhere.) I don't know what ETH is. I assume you're talking about VRT throughout. IV was high because there was buzz that VRT was going to be added to the S&P 500. That's why the calls were still relatively expensive that late. The addition did in fact happen, which is why VRT spiked up after hours. Yes, you got assigned because someone manually exercised a long 255 strike call. You didn't buy any shares. You sold shares short, because getting assigned on a short call sells shares, and since you didn't have any, you sold them short. The 257.432 isn't a purchase price or cost basis, it's the effective sale price. Because the strike price was 255, and you received 2.432 credit for selling the call, you are considered effectively to have sold the shares for 257.432 each. You are now short 100 shares and at some point, are going to have to buy 100 shares to cover.
# Have a question on short call assigned in ETH This one is new to me but I had a 255C on VRT. Was a spread w/ a .90 premium. No earnings report due but at 4:59 the call value was still $2.15 with underlying at $242.10. Seemed strange as i don't ever seen options w/ this much extrinsic value this late. I always close before ETH but this one was paying me nothing at 4:59. [](https://preview.redd.it/have-a-question-on-short-call-assigned-in-eth-v0-7vrfwj9t6lng1.png?width=1571&format=png&auto=webp&s=2217defeeaf76be8e67b6d1f9bc73df7e9dc675e) * I have a few questions. At 5:15 it shot up and touched my 255 strike. I assume they manually exercised this since it was well past 4PM? Is that the only way this could have been done? [](https://preview.redd.it/have-a-question-on-short-call-assigned-in-eth-v0-e562g04z7lng1.png?width=1614&format=png&auto=webp&s=10225eddc9f448b4edef0e7135b04c5422adc4f1) * The actual purchase price of the underlying I purchased to fill the call appears to be $257.432 if I am interpreting the image below correctly. However, in looking at the chart in ETH, I don't see it at that price and if it was it was for a split second. It seems awful convenient they would exercise at the exact time it peaked but I don't really even see it hitting. Is it likely it was just perfect timing for this or is there some mechanism that will take the highest price in ETH and buy at that to purchase those shares called away from me? [](https://preview.redd.it/have-a-question-on-short-call-assigned-in-eth-v0-9b3qir3b8lng1.png?width=1646&format=png&auto=webp&s=4f66895f4103f728766a3cf382149c02e2dfdfdd) My P&L on this transaction came out to -$157.74 which seems close $257.43-$255-.90=$1.53 Thanks Dave
Crazy that VRT was a SPAC that actually wasn't a con job.
mildly excited about the ETFs I own that have VRT and COHR in them. very mild. like lacroix mild.
AH move on VRT has it less expensive than it was 2 days ago. Lowkey worried that these calls are gonna flop on Monday
I'll never forget my VRT story. I was reading Nancy Pelosi's disclosure back in 2024 and saw that she bought VST and thought I was gonna be rich copying her buys and bought VRT by accident. Only when I was up 150% did I realize that it wasn't the stock that Nancy bought. I'm the greatest ever.
Bought VRT calls while it was down a bit this week. Yall think it'll keep going up Monday like CVNA did or will it pop then dump? Has a higher float so not sure if I should sell at open or hold for a while
Thanks for the heads up about this earlier this week. Got VRT calls while it was down over the last couple of days
VRT was easy money for the S&P announcement
Went full port commons into VRT cus of polymarket Cool beans
VRT, LITE, and COHR added to the S&P 50 https://preview.redd.it/wszlagzb2ing1.jpeg?width=900&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ca466125a7655b3a1c1c04115603f5fb6ea57bac
VRT has joined the S&P 500
From a value perspective, SOFI is the best atp. It sold off heavily post earnings. If it happens to get added, that could be the stimulus it needs to get back in the 20’s. Just a thought. Woth a PE of 67+ and an EPS of -$0.21, I’m not convinced AFRM is a good risk/value. VRT has already had a strong run up this year. PE of 73+ is high with a EPS of 3.41. Not my kind of entry point.
add more calls since VRT will be added to s&p for rebalancing today
The question is to add more VRT calls or play the bounce today. Porque no los dos?
Crazy. I was calling VRT going into 2025 when it was still but a child, and now it’s all grown up and successful.
I'd be so stoked if it was VRT or SOFI
It's time for Vertiv $VRT to be added. They should remove Carvana.
Besides the big ones. I like VRT and MU. They have done me well. PLTR has taken a hit but over the next few years it will return 10-fold by 2030!
some stocks are in the red, some sold in the green and buying the dip If it has obvious potential and was a long term position, I hold. (FKING VRT, CEG, NEE) If I was able to sell at the top of the range and buy again low, I do (NEM, GEV) War stocks I am going long term because the use of inventory and rise in oil prices will reflect on the 10q and I will be holding good value (XOM, LMT, RTX, HII) If it was garbage for a quick buck, I'd sell, but I don't buy garbage anymore.
Didn't buy VRT calls given the situation. But still planning to play the S&P 500 inclusion Friday. The meta of the market right now makes it interesting though, not sure if I will actually go in
This is the kind of post everyone should see before they get too confident about their stock picks. I've done similar lookbacks on my own "conviction" ideas from a few years ago and the hit rate is embarrassingly low. The thing that stands out to me is that the actual 10x winners (VRT, SMCI, NVDA) weren't the ones people were hyping. They were mostly boring infrastructure plays that got pulled into a megatrend nobody fully saw coming. Meanwhile the "obvious" picks like BYND and CRSP had great narratives but the fundamentals never backed up the valuation. I think the honest takeaway isn't just "nobody knows" but specifically that narrative-driven picks have a way worse hit rate than fundamentals-driven ones. The companies that actually 10x'd had real revenue growth and expanding margins, not just a compelling story. Curious what process people use to actually separate the signal from the noise when researching stocks, because everything feels like a great narrative when you're buying.
Are you playing VRT? Trying to decide on option strike/expiry. Looking back at CVNA as an example but VRT has larger float. What are your thoughts?
Look at the prediction markets. VRT is looking like a lock. SOFI has dropped like a rock over time because of eligibility issues. PSTG and ALNY are also possibilities.
S&P 500 additions will be announced next Friday. SOFI was a popular pick before its market cap fell, and it is currently not eligible (market cap has to be over $22.7 billion). VRT seems to be a near lock.
Well $VRT currently is primary for joining SP 500 Reballancing 06 March however $SOFI is in second. My take 23 x 22$ June 18 calls 📞 $SOFI. Also the super bowl is playing at SOFI Stadium next year.
How come no one talks about VRT?
I might of put too much emphasis on patents but was looking at any and all related to efficiency in tech. Thanks for the suggestion on VRT. Going to look into that.
vertiv (VRT) is probably the most direct public play on datacenter efficiency, power and thermal management is basically their whole business. the pure patent licensing model you're describing is tough to find as a standalone company, most of that IP lives inside larger industrials or the hyperscalers themselves.
All AI connected assets are under pressure. Check GEV, CAT, VRT, TSM, MU. Not just NVDA.
Energy stocks pamping and big companies scheduled to meet Trump over providing their own energy next week. Deals about to made. Who's going to win amzn and google? VRT, BE, VST?
you want load up on things benefiting from positive tailwind from capex. All the money to be made are in Semis and buildout adjacent stocks COHR,VRT,GEV,CAT,NXT etc etc. Mag7 overspending on capex is a good reason to diversify away. I personally dont like catching knives to gamble if a narrative is real or false but prefer to ride tailwinds
I sold half my VRT right before it went to ATH. And now it’s looking unstoppable. Hmm.
Same VRT investor here. Bought in around 160 and sold at 195. No regrets.
Lawl rip, VRT being one of the very few stocks up strong this year
In 6 months the only stocks that will go up are NVDA, VRT, NBIS, TSM, GEV and Google. Everything else will be obsolete and worthless
I mean, follow the money. Money seems to be coming and going quick in MSFT. Where’s that money heading? Seems like the money trail leads to NVDA, VRT, LITE, MU, SNDK, GEV, and even CAT and DE.
When I'm scraping 10Ks and building out the models, backlog is the first thing I look at, *book to bill ratio* is the actual lie detector. A massive backlog could just mean their supply chain is choked but if book to bill is consistently over 1.2x (like VRT lately), demand is legitimately outstripping capacity. You also have to watch capex intensity like a hawk. Infra is a heavy business if they are burning most of their operating cash flow on maintenance capex just to keep the lights on, there's no free cash flow left for us. I always check if their return on invested capital (ROIC) is actually beating their cost of capital. If they are taking low margin deals just to win hyperscaler logos (MSFT/META), they're going to get squeezed on pricing power longterm.
Why yes I am happy I bought VRT at $45 a share and sold at $55 two years back, I’m something of a trader myself
Need it and VRT to go back down so I can jump in
I hope you went in harder on VRT
Going to be a quiet week or na? Selling cc’s on RDDT, SOFI, BROS, buying VRT with the premiums
A stock that few know of: VRT. Has the most solid rating of any stock I've ever seen on Investors Business Daily. I'm all in.
I am going with 1. SNDK 2. CGNX 3. VRT 4. STX
Yup, I reference $VRT a bit further down on the analysis, also tracking that one! And thank you btw, it’s nice to see people validating my play!
One solid analysis. You are ahead of me, i had the same idea, but great execution nevertheless. My 2 cents would be companies like $VRT are also super CAPEX dependent and as soon as they realize its not sustainable this one is gonna drop. It has ~70% revenue dependence i believe, if i remember it correctly.
I would go with these momentum stocks 1. SNDK 2. STX 3. VRT 4. CGNX
That’s awesome about VRT! Congrats! I’ve looked at it in the past but never made the leap. One that gains 14,000% wipes out a lot that lost 100%.
Gotcha. Apologies or being caustic. It has been somewhat the same with me over the years! My dad bought an Apple Macintosh PC for (probably) $2,500 in 1986... wish he would have just bough AAPL lol. My biggest recent win has been VRT... up \~14,000%, but I have a few that have gone bankrupt and lost $20k on them.
heating and cooling systems. MOD and VRT are heating up fast. Backlog is increasing.
VRT. I ready somewhere that Nancy Pelosi bought it but only realized after +80% that she bought it VST.
I bought VRT at $60. My only stock I own. Other than tqqq ETF. The rest is cash and options
I bought VRT at $60. My only stock I own. Other than tqqq ETF. The rest is cash and options
VRT. Great stock! Hope you buy calls, but wait for a pullback first
VRT has pumped crazy hard. I’m too afraid to buy the top
It's funny because I post more in the daily's have brought this name up over the years. I still hold my shares for a few reasons. One is that I haven't seen anything bad in terms of the earnings of the company. Until the thesis breaks, there's really no reason to sell in my opinion. Like what Peter Lynch says: “Selling your winners and holding your losers is like cutting the flowers and watering the weeds.” I do think there is going to be a point where CAPEX cut does happen and I will take a hit on the shares, but I have no idea when that is happening. Again, I'm in a difference place than most investors since I've been long for a long longer and I don't mind if the stocks drops like 20% on CAPEX cut fears. Rather see the numbers before I over react. Like here's an example of something from 2 years ago: [https://www.reddit.com/r/stocks/comments/1axxc42/comment/krs7a71/?utm\_source=share&utm\_medium=web3x&utm\_name=web3xcss&utm\_term=1&utm\_content=share\_button](https://www.reddit.com/r/stocks/comments/1axxc42/comment/krs7a71/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button) Call out IESC, FIX, POWL, NVT, VRT, EME, and PWR. I lucked out since around 3-4 years ago I was buying electrification and physical data centers stocks before AI really took off.
