ROKU never makes a profit and now WMT bought VZIO so they can compete with ROKU. I'm not sure how much of that's already priced in but ROKU can't lie about the future nearly as much as elon can. Or can it?

> To let it sit and grow for a while You can say this about any investment. What makes Walmart so special other than you work there? What would you do with an equivalent amount of money? Would you out it _all_ in WMT?

perfmode80

Assuming you don't work for Walmart, do you purchase WMT each quarter?

perfmode80

> but with a company like Walmart, would this still be the case? If you didn't work for Walmart, would would still buy the equivalent amount of WMT?

WMT about to get boosted

prettysureiminsane

WMT cost me a lot of money last week with their slow bleed.

jeopardy_loser

Seems like every time the market pumps WMT dumps I don’t get it 🤷‍♂️

ThinkingOfTheOldDays

WMT down on some news about their fintech arm going into buy now, pay later. WMT will likely rebound to 60 before earnings on may 16.

WMT is looking rough

Connect-Wrongdoer-11

WMT said we now in BNPL land

sullymichaels

Owned both, plus TGT. COST for too high for me. Sold out of it. Stayed in WMT. Bought into TGT with the summer of 22 dip. Only had about $600-$1,500 in each.

Bluegunshot1022

I own shares in GME and DIS on Robinhood and WMT on another app. I said excluding because I wanted to show off my options trading, even tho im making a profit off of those as well

TheYoungLung

A full anything portfolio is bad. I own a lot of tech stocks, but I also balance it out with stable growth companies in different sectors such as V, AXP and WMT.

I have WMT. I think it will perform better than COST. WMT just had split. COST has increased significantly in last few years so it's relatively expensive. We might have a recession soon.

AmaroisKing

Well I do own quite a few and I’m aware of modern capitalism, but WMT seems to make quite a public art about this process and I don’t want to be directly invested in that.

AmaroisKing

COST , because WMT business model is to destroy local businesses until they are the dominant player.

but_why_doh

Right now, neither. P/E ratio over 40 for COST, and nearly 30 for WMT. COST is a better run company and will do better in the long term(the membership model is really one of the best), but that P/E ratio is just too high for me to even touch that company

Straight-Opposite483

WMT includes a version of COST. Costco has a cult following but it’s honestly not any different than Sam’s.

HoldTheHighGround

I generally find WMT and WalMart.com are cheapest.

bdh2067

I own both. I understand your logic above. But if you look at past performance, COST has absolutely trounced WMT. That doesn’t mean it always will but I’m glad I have put more into COST every chance I had but haven’t put as much into WMT. One simply outperforms the other.

Paulhub_com

One way to look at it is this: if you look at WMT for the past 5 years it’s up ~ 76%. Now imagine you had to make this decision 5 years ago, and you liquidated your RSU to buy something say, SPY, it would be up by 70%. Not a big difference but it’s less risky to hold SPY than WMT

pickandpray

I had a windfall in my other portfolio and decided to buy some more WMT stock outside of my former RSU account. In case you didn't know, the non matured RSU disappear as soon as you end employment with WMT

MattieShoes

Max out 401k ($23,000) Max out IRA ($7,000) Probably liquidate WMT stock in favor of index funds, or at least don't let it grow to a significant portion of your total money.

salazar13

Terrible way to look at this. This is bad advice. You don't even know what percentage of their total portfolio is WMT stock.

Historical_Low4458

WMT is a major company and isn't going to go bankrupt any time soon. They're also in a sector that is important regardless of economic conditions. It looks like you just recently started to build this position, so personally I wouldn't sell them. Now after, I built up a position in it, then maybe I would be willing to sell some of it to diversify. It really just depends on how much of your portfolio it is.

ILBENISM

Except that Amazon and Walmart stock are probably way better options to hold long term even if the investor does not like Bezos or the Walton family compared to holding a meme stock like Tesla.... Amazon's moat is quite stacked and stable with massive investments into AWS, Data & Infrastructure, logistics, AI & cloud computing, plus "loyal" consumer base and prime subscription money, etc unless you want to buy garbage from Temu or whatever bullshit Chinese company there is for online shopping. Walmart is not going away, it's always there as a massive retail store for peasants and poor people which will even be better during economic recessions, COVID, and other major crises; WMT performed well during the 2007 - 2009 financial crisis & economic recession. Tesla though is just another bullshit meme stock that is extremely overvalued and getting pounded by BYD, Li motors, and other Chinese EVs with their cheap cars and with high interest rates that isn't going away, there's decreased consumer sentiment for EVs at the moment. And all the recent news on mass recalls, mass layoffs, production delays, and power struggles between Musk and the Tesla board/management is really just adding more fuel to the fire and making TSLA plunge down even more. You also got other players like Bill Gates and anti-Musk folks massively shorting Tesla stock because he ain't with the mainstream media narrative in the US, very big mistake to do that.

JeromePowellLovesMe

Picked up some on DIS when it was green after lunch. Might be looking at a few others like WMT. If growth tech is cooked, the boomer withdrawals to cash or treasuries are coming up very soon.

msaleem

This is a great line to bring out anytime someone’s favorite company is priced unreasonably.  Apparently it’s also not a great way to value CLX, BROS, COST, WMT, CMG, etc. 

jeopardy_loser

I bought 100 shares of WMT after the split, it's done nothing but assjam me ever since. I guess it only moves around earnings season.

Maximum_Reputation96

Ya if I had to guess it’s IV, not worried about missing out tho my WMT 59 puts for 5/4 are up 73% so those should do well

TendieTrades

Dollar General. WMT, alcohol, Altria, is Aldi supermarket a publicly traded company? Make sure you buy the big names of companies that provide all the basic recession proof shit.

pickandpray

I had a similar amount to invest early this year. Kept 70k in cash and most was distributed into VOO, DLR, MSFT, WMT

WMT is my ultimate poverty stock

LordFaquaad

Go to staples and out of luxury. E.g. get out of LVMH and buy WMT instead

jarchack

I'm a disability and and hardly have any disposable cash at all. I have no choice but to use WMT and AMZN and whoever owns Winco.

ykoreaa

Out of the list, I can assure you the majority of ppl here are only familiar with WMT and TGT lol

prettysureiminsane

WMT I love you buddy but I'm gonna need a much bigger pop than that to save my calls. Get in the game dammit.

I think WMT will pop on IPO day for Ibotta

TomOnDuty

No none of that . Mainly MSFT WMT AMZN GOOGL

Retail_Degenerate

If you don’t want your portfolio to trade sideways for the next decade, sell JNJ and WMT immediately

argentstreak

I would reduce the number of positions you have. I like your WMT but I have AMZN instead, I like your MSFT and I like your JNJ, Perhaps swap out of one of your stocks into AXP or MA so you have some financial exposure and you have 2 electric car companies so pick one (I have TSLA) and get some more AI exposure, I don't own it byt DELL is going to have a hay day coming and probably Intel as they are making the AI chips for the PC refresh, everyone is going to need AI PC to replace the one they have now

Glam34

When armageddon kicks off, the world will rely on WMT

inthemindofadogg

Keep: WMT, MSFT, JNJ Indifferent: TSLA. Drop the rest.

SuspiciousStable9649

WMT and KR… smh. Boomers just have bad taste. But you gotta hand it to them, some cold dead emotionless fck-u-I-got-mine trading is required for those choices. If you’re investing in a company’s ability to convert blood and sweat and fear sold too cheaply into profit, just buy AMZN and INTC. Dumbasses.

jeopardy_loser

This is WMT's first green day in at least a week

ThinkingOfTheOldDays

what part doesn't make sense? today seems orderly. secular winners (NVDA, LLY, CEG) up, defensives (e.g. WMT) up a bit, builders / financials / auto retailers down.

nmpraveen

Could someone explain how to read this chart. Lets say cheap calls list. It says WMT 61. and same way it also says WMT 59 puts. Will it be profitiable only if I get both? or either one would work fine? Just want to make sure if im doing this right.

elAustrio

Maybe a stupid question, but how do I find e.g. the WMT call? I am in Europa, I need some kind of ISIN or WKN

Frozen_Shades

Bruh. My $219 Samsung Galaxy with a $100 rebate from WMT is mining Bitcoin with Bitcoin Mining Plan app from the uPlay store and there are regards paying paying $800 plus for iphones. .066 Bitcoin and counting. 

Next-Mail2444

Having a hard time understanding your data. Are you saying buy WMT 61 Call and or buy 59 Puts? Thanks

OJpopsicle

thank you for this post, how long will it take for say, the IV for WMT to rise before the earnings report, since it is 38 days from now? Also, what would you say would be the most effective expiration to choose based on the date of this earnings release?

Will100597

Thank you! Just got some WMT 61C, what’s you take profit goal?

Air_McNair867

You really think WMT is going to break $61 by Friday?

nite16

Since call and put both appear for WMT, are you basing your choice on the directional bias you indicate?

intraalpha

WMT and DAL looking good IMO

YBYAl

I need to cut 3 of my positions, which 3 would you sell? Brk.b 17% (+30%) LULU 12% (-10%) Meta 11.5% (+191%) COST 11.15% (+32%) AMZN 11.6% (+77%) GOOG 6% (+39%) MSFT 5.5% (+50.55%) AAPL 5% (+6%) V 4% (+23%) GXO 4% (-1.44%) WMT 3% (+19%) PEP 3% (-7%) J&J, HIMs, KO & cash for the rest.

Been green all week. WMT and NEM

Okay, well, it's really up to you if you want to sell the MCD/WMT holdings. I have not read anything that makes me think that it is in a tax advantaged account, so you will have to pay taxes on the gains, which the two funds have appreciated quite a bit in the time since your grandparent bought them. Typically you'd sell holdings if you feel like the money has a higher chance of yielding you a higher return else where, or if you need the money. If you want to rebalance that can be a reason too, though you could also consider if you stopped putting money into them and instead started targeting your money else where, could you also balance it like that over time without creating the taxable events of selling the MCD/WMT holdings.

taplar

You do not have enough information to make this claim. If the dividends were not reinvested and instead went into some cash like holding in the account, it is likely that they missed out on gains. To not have missed out on gains, the compounded rate of return on the cash like holding would have to have met or exceeded the compounded rate of return of the MCD/WMT fund the dividends came from, and those two funds have appreciated greatly over the last 25-30 years.

Evening_Fix_2551

Regular Schwab brokerage account. Technically it's managed by Uncle who is a stock broker but it clearly wasn't done optimally (Dividend reinvestment was never turned on and the account is probably 20 years old. I'm pretty annoyed by that) I think I'd have to contact my Uncle for the exact cost basis numbers, The loss/gain portion is disabled for me and it might be too far back for me to retrieve anyway. I think the initial amount invested was $500, including Walgreens, Under Armor and a local bank, all of which have done virtually nothing it looks like. McDs and WMT are the big winners.

taplar

What is your average cost basis for your MCD and WMT?

Mother_Freedom7281

Lol my WMT calls must be regarded

Hularuns

Puts on COST. LLY's stuff is better and you can get that at WMT.

Holiday-Trust-1761

Definitely hold WMT too. That’s a forever hold.

Holiday-Trust-1761

Same question. Any news re a split? Or are people expecting a split just because WMT split recently?

pickandpray

I'm getting around 16k in annual dividends and it's not necessarily chasing a dividend, however I'm retired and trying to preserve capital. VOO, MSFT, WMT *happen* to pay a dividend. The only other thing I hold that pays a dividend is DLR which paid a really nice yield when I bought it but the price has gone up considerably over the years. Most people will say you can better grow your investment by investing in growth.

FullCopy

AAPL needs a new CEO. Tim Apple sucks at innovation. His thing is supply chain so he should go work for WMT.

$WMT $60c exp 4/12, which means you guys should buy puts since idk what I’m doing

ScottishTrader

Covered calls can bring in some premium income but be prepared to sell the shares if they are called away. The shares should make a nice profit, but then be gone and it would be a taxable event. Read this for more details - [https://www.investopedia.com/articles/optioninvestor/08/covered-call.asp](https://www.investopedia.com/articles/optioninvestor/08/covered-call.asp) If you want to lower the chances of the shares being sold (but not eliminate the possibility) then try selling 30-60 dte and OTM perhaps at the .20 or .30 delta, then close for a 50% profit. Be sure you fully understand that this may reduce the chances of being assigned, but not eliminate it. Looking at the option chain with WMT currently at \~$60, the 65 strike call expiring on 17May would bring in .26 per contract, or $26, and you could sell 3 contracts as options are x100 shares. 3 x $26 would be $78. The 16 extra shares cannot be used for CCs. If these were exercised and assigned at $65 the profit on the shares would be $15.01 per share, or $1,501 per contract, or $4,503 for 3 contracts. Add the $78 for a net of $4,581 in profits.

Almost known of the stocks you mentioned meet the classic definition of a value stock. I own MSFT but it’s forward PE is over 31. WMT forward PE is 25? That’s nuts. Historically it’s traded at a PE in the low teens. KO based on its historical PE looks relatively cheap but not classically cheap. The issue with them is can they sustain recent revenue and volume growth and contain costs. Right now it’s a question mark. I own VZ but it’s gone no where for 5 years, has a lot of debt and it has an unknown liability for the lead sheathing issue. The uncertainty means it’s probably fairly valued in low 40s but it’s a reliable dividend yield at 6.3%. Amgen looks cheap but they have a lot of drugs coming off patent and their pipeline has a lot of uncertainty. In other words they are past peak earnings and will see a slow erosion in revenue and earnings. MCD is not a cheap stock at all. Price increases have driven away a large part of the population and they sell low quality food. Competition is also an issue. You can eat at Panera, Chipotle and other chains offering better healthier food options. Overall market is at the high end of the CAPE PE, the odds of any us finding a true value stock without some major uncertainty that will outperform without a significant increase in the beta of your portfolio is laughable.

CrumbBCrumb

Super happy with how TGT has been the last few months here. +17% the last month and +61% the last six months. It wasn't long ago that reddit was arguing how their political t shirts or clothing were going to be the death of it. Or, how never having open registers was going to be the death of it. Pretty happy to be holding onto TGT, WMT, and AMZN as I don't see them going anywhere soon.

tommytatertots

So glad I sold my WMT shares and safely secured them in some ‘gaming’ Options this week. For real, fuck options. I have outperformed S&P 500 for 6 years and have been crushed on all option trades for the past month. I am great at finding the buy opportunity, but can’t let go/sell. I need a partner who can time the top and we would be unstoppable.

Semiconductors are pump and dump stock while everyone is talking about them on the news and cross platforms. The smarter investment long term is $WMT (since they split the price, and everyone knows somebody that shops at Walmart).

Wild to think that a company with $1.5 million annual revenue has the same stock price as Walmart ($WMT).

Petco is down 92% in pretty much a straight line since going public a little under 3 years ago and about $2 away from 0. The trend imo is towards convenience and people buying more and more at TGT, AMZN, COST, WMT and they already have Prime or Walmart+ or a Costco membership, etc. Maybe CHWY isn't a 0 who knows but "it isn't an eventual 0 but who knows'' and is going to be in endless, difficult competition with peers is not exactly a compelling thesis.
