WMT

80% of WMT employees living off of food stamps 1/2 are worth over $25

Leroy--Brown

MSFT 7% V and MA. I put these in the same category, for obvious reasons. 8% PLTR 17% VOO and VTI 18% of my holdings. This used to be 60% of my portfolio but everything else grew so much faster. I'll need to renew my efforts at my old DCA strategy until this is back in the 50 or 60% range. WMT 6% My portfolio is admittedly in need of rebalancing. For example, I've held QCOM and AMT for quite a long time and I should sell off those positions and increase my position in VOO or VTI. Similarly I've opened small speculative positions in a wide variety of various stocks. Some of these are stagnant or haven't grown yet, and some of them have grown really well, and this growth has altered my ideal balance. The growth in MSFT and PLTR really altered my portfolio allocations My personal ideal balance for my portfolio is 60% VTI/VOO. 20% aggressive growth in tech/finance. 20% defensive stocks/utilities/staples. Back to the old boring DCA strategy I suppose.

Down 16ish YTD, sold at bottom, held SQQQ during Trump pause tweet, also about 30yrs from retirement. I bought back in about halfway up but im the same boat because of that SQQQ gamble. I am doing lile 60% safer (VTI, although a small SSO position), 10% gamble (SOXL), and 30% individual stocks (GOOG, WMT, LLY, UNH, BRK.B). In the long run it makes more sense to take your lumps and move forward like you're doing but for me im going to stress like a mo'fo trying to marginally outperform the market the next few mo tha to try to get back to breakeven for the year. Will let you know how horribly it goes, congrats on the wiser choice

Ya. 171% vs 151% WMT wins again. Not even accounting for re-invested dividends.

The Intel guy deleted his account, sadly. I remember all this unfolding and was glad I didn’t jump on the Intel bandwagon. There were some Intel bulls around here at one point but I think they all got slaughtered and fed to the market. Not gonna lie I almost did it too at one point. Not because I was betting against NVDA but I wanted to bet on the underdog. Like when WMT was destroying the competition on every level and DG was at an extremely low. Then I read about DG having lower exposure to Chinese Point, I bought DG stock and it paid off but the turnaround took like a year.

No_Cow_8702

JNJ is in the healthcare sector. It is a natural defense sector compared to a consumer staple (my mistake on the defensive for WMT as a consumer defensive, even tho in a way it actually is.) It was always come down to this. When your in a high inflation environment….. You shop at Walmart…. If its a recession….. You will still shop at Walmart.

ZookeepergameFalse38

It makes sense that the leaders in a sector are typically strong investments. I like BRK.B, WMT, LLY, JPM, XOM, WM & LMT.

No_Cow_8702

I mean, Im pretty sure WMT and Costco as consumer defensives will always have a premium attached to it. Same as people always buying Apple stock.

No_Cow_8702

Sure they can be competitive in the robotics space but it still doesn’t negate that there is competition in the space and WMT actually has drones that they have piloted in various places. Ill give you AWS but doesn’t prove that AMZN is not a shareholder friendly company.

No_Cow_8702

As a WMT shareholder myself I wont deny that AMZN has a better valuation. The fact of the matter is that at least WMT has done more for shareholders, even with their mass development and investment on their retail structure and strategy. Heck if TGT doesn’t get their act together WMT will start to take them out.

greenpride32

I've held AMZN for more than 5 years so that arbitrary cutoff point means little me; nothing to be honest. Good luck with WMT trading a higher multiple on less margin and half the top line growth.

phosphate554

This guy wants to buy $WMT at 42x earnings instead of $AMZN at 36x earnings. Be my guest. Both great companies, but one has a lower valuation and exponentially more growth ahead of it.

Happy_Discussion_536

Guess who wins. WMT and COST will crush the competition, pick up more market share.

BSBootyBandit

Any $WMT holders?

Reasonable_Handle291

Not going to pretend I'm a co-equal in understanding the above, but from what I read, I was curious if this make sense to you or way too much delulu speculation: Based on the trend you identified, could July 9th be setting the Market ryhme with history? Assuming Tariffs go into effect and stay there after July 9th, would the surge in Tariff Tax revenue also show a surge in the "p" side of the equation for maybe a quarter or 2? Possibly followed by p/e ratio to crater (margin compression?) when due to this combination?: + companies hav to fork over Tariffs to to the Government + companies try to eat some of the Tariffs to stay competitive woth other companies (WMT) that can eat Tariffs easier + consumer finally feeling the pinch and overreact in scaling back on discretionary spending

No-Improvement3164

WMT HIMS GOOG. Let’s ride

YouAlwaysHaveAChoice

I know, I made a good bit on the AMZN gap up on Friday. But I’m betting that the turnaround is coming soon. Check my post history. I called the NVDA selloff a while back, the CVNA drop, literally called the last top back in February right before WMT earnings, and now I’m in MSFT puts. I don’t think it’ll be a huge drop like the tariff rout, but inflation is going to continue to rise into the summer. The constantly weakening dollar is making imports more and more expensive, on top of the tariffs. I also think oil is finding a bottom here and will turn higher shortly. A slightly softening labor market will not overshadow consistently rising inflation, and cuts will not be possible. How the market responds remains to be seen, but I think once the stagflation narrative really takes hold(July/August IMO), we are correcting.

Big-block427

I own 3 of those; COST, NFLX and WMT. I can’t foresee people canceling their Costco membership or Netflix subscriptions. WMT is playing in the AI space and it’s the grocer for America.

I mean I liquidated my brokerage and kept my 401Ks and mutual fund intact. Does hindsight make me wish I dumped money in and DCAd and all that good stuff? Sure but I made a great profit and I’ll just buy back in when my appetite is there. Until then I amped up my monthly allocation to my my mutual fund and they do a great job so it’s fine. So yeah you can’t time the market but I also didn’t want watch my Fidelity account continue to tank, and I got out at a good time where I sold as the cat was bouncing up and didn’t actually realize any losses. I’m sitting on about 108K in cash in my brokerage. I was also planning an out of state move so yeah my tolerance just wasn’t rock solid like it normally is I’m going to just buy some individual stocks and trickle feed SPY, feel it out kind of thing. TBH I’m so bullish on WMT you’d think I was Sam Walton himself so it’s fine there’s opportunity out there

Redfield11

Me every 5min to my BRK.B and WMT this past month: stahp, plz.

Affectionate-Day2743

anyone got ideas why WMT is such ass today?

Affectionate-Day2743

my biotech positions and WMT basically cancelling each other out today. RDDT propping the port up. weird day

Affectionate-Day2743

WMT doin me dirty today.

DapperSea9688

I’m about 80% cash too but it was a combination of planning an out of state move (that fell through) at the same time the tariff bullshit started. So my appetite soured and I liquidated at a gain. If I held I’d be up a shit load of money, but I also could be down a shit load of money. At least know I can just aggressively DCA back in. I’m actually taking a new strategy too where I’m pushing more into my mutual fund than my brokerage account and just letting professionals manage it during these special times. And in my brokerage I’ll do some “fun picks” like I want to get back into WMT, things like that.

sell ITM covered calls on stocks I have no intention of keeping, start about 30 DTE. Buy stock, sell the calls maybe 2-3% below the current stock price giving you some room if it drops, if it goes up stock gets called away, you keep the $. One option is if the stock goes sideways buy back the earlier call after some time decay and sell calls at the same strike next month out. Have a position on WMT right now just like that --

WMT and COST going up!

dweeegs

And those impacted the most, coupled with those who did not deliver on earnings, have not recovered. We’re within spitting distance of ATH yet AAPL and AMZN have not recovered. WMT still 10-15% off. Small caps have stayed crushed. Others like GOOG still crushed for other reasons. Every new ATH comes after climbing a wall of worry. Every single one. But there’s been a clear leadership rotation and I’m here for it. Most of Mag7 is still going to crush earnings, financials are going to crush, software has been crushing it, industrials have been crushing it. What else are you supposed to be looking for. The economic conditions have potentially changed but so has the composition of the SP500 and how they make money

Honey-Holic

WMT and COST…can one of you please moon?

Waymo raised private funds late last year at $45b valuation. Remember now it's Alphabet as the parent company that owns the subsidiaries of Google and Waymo. Autonomous vehicle (AV) driving doesn't help society? It can drive day and night (assuming fuel/charge), day and night, day and night, without getting tired - can a human do that? AV driver has full 360 awareness of their surroundings, no blind spots. It doesn't need/want to drive aggressively and cut other cars off. AV driver is not distracted by a text, phone call, facetime, a cat/dog, good looking man/woman - it has a job to do and that's all it does and cares about. Do you think a human can be a safer driver? Because AV will drive at speed limit and not drive agressively, traffic will flow better and there will be less traffic and congestion. In commerical space, do you think UBER LYFT AMZN WMT TGT CART will have higher margin with human driver or AV driver for last mile delivery? There is also the company AUR working on AV freight.

bdh2067

Maybe AMZN and WMT say this to start the next round of negotiations with V and MC in a different place. “Knock .05 off or we try the stablecoin”

gainsusmaximus

🥭 : pay to be in our market 🌍, tariffs ! 🌍: but you will pay the tax 🥭: $WMT, eat the tariffs 🗞️: inflation is going up! 🇺🇲🏦: no dis inflation, no cuts! 🥭: 🍼 😭 💦

HitmanOnOppositeDay

CRCL was at the perfect place at the perfect time. It's probably the first time I've ever seen something like it after several years in the market. Delayed IPO by like almost 2 whole years, finally goes public during the most crypto friendly administration, state law passes stablecoins as legal federal tender, USDC out of all coins gets chosen to back treasuries and WMT and AMZN announce their own coins giving credibility that V and MA multi decade oligarchy can be disrupted. This all happened in LESS THEN 2 WEEKS SINCE THEIR IPO. Usually stock catalysts can take months or even years to play out so this is crazy. If you're looking long term at the company they are def capable of cutting out V and MA and carving out maybe a \~300B MC over two decades. However the run up has made it that other plays can make more gains over that time frame IMO. Also there is no guarantee that they succeed as V and MA will prob release their own coins to compete. Also remember that Tether still has first mover advantage with a representative actively working with the President's administration but I still think CRCL is more open book and better suited to getting legislatively recognized.

dimethylhyperspace

Played WMT OPEX like a fiddle

dimethylhyperspace

Depends on the stock. Watch WMT and NVDA

dimethylhyperspace

WMT put/call ratio is pretty offsides towards the short side. I have a theory that the stock will bounce between 3-4pm today as Market makers close their hedges. So I bought a few at the money calls

dimethylhyperspace

Fun fact for tommorrows OPEX..if you see a dramatic price spike or drop in the final hour of the day, that's likely the MMs closing their hedges. Typically the next Monday, the stock will reverse whatever that trend is as it was a false move. I'll be watching INTC, NVDA and WMT because they came up as having pretty skewed open interest for the June 20 strikes

dimethylhyperspace

Gotcha. So I'm using AI to look at stocks with high OI and what the max pain pin price is: For instance, WMT has a shit ton of puts and the max pain is at $71 a share..it's making me think, if the stock was to open a few dollars under that, would be buying calls a good strategy knowing that it's probably going to get pinned at 71 later in the day? Just a thought

Honey-Holic

I need WMT to go up

4BennyBlanco4

I don't have the foggiest about any of this but if AMZN, WMT, HD, COST etc had their own stablecoins would that not mean I need a different mechanism to shop at AMZN, WMT, HD, COST etc. whereas I could just use my Visa or Mastercard anywhere. So Visa and Mastercard remain far more convenient.

Pink_Squadron_Medic

Why are NKE WMT and TGT worried for tomorrow?

greenpride32

>just having a more efficient settlement system in it of itself doesn't necessarily mean they can replace the current legacy system just on that merit alone, right? I suggest you do some research on basic blockchain technology - maybe wiki will suffice. I think the picture becomes more clear if you have a better understanding. You don't need to build out a network, it already exists, the blockchains are public. The benefit to an AMZN or WMT is they don't need to pay a slice of every transaction to a V/MA/AXP/COF. There "cost" is to build a reserve/backing for the stablecoin, and build an interface to tranasct the stablecoin. These are more or less one time operations, that can be iterated on going forward. I don't think a company the size of LYV can really support a stablecoin, it needs to be a cash rich company.

Ellen_DegenitaIs

WMT finally done being gey

greenpride32

IMO - The benefits are more on the backend - specifically the use of blockchain. Transactions can be done immediately, on shared ledger and with immutable records. It's very easy to audit the transactions so it is perfect for anti-laundering. Sure you can maybe hide behind a digital identity for BTC. But any stablecoin usage would be able to tie you to an identity. Have an acocunt at WMT or AMZN? Add your stablecoin wallet as a payment option - they know who you are. It costs very little to maintain the stablecoin because it runs on public blockchain servers. The thread to MA and V is stablecoin could replace them or take market share for transactions. But it's an apples to oranges comparions after that. Credit cards are essentially loans that have short term 0% interest and longer term greater than zero rates. With stablecoin, once you've paid the transaction is done - it's as good as cash but done digitally.

Good luck! Im watching WMT, if they drop like 5% plus in a day then I am in with ya on calls, but feel a drop first :)

UnfazedBrownie

The drop is a good pickup opportunity. The stable coin approach has been tried and already exists in a different form (see TGT red card as someone pointed out). If WMT or AMZN tried this, you need to keep in mind the level and difficulty of adoption. WMT has an app and could force you to use their stable coin to fund the purchase. But could this seriously lead to large adoption rates?

WMT has been reaming my asshole the entire week

Stable coin news: >The Wall Street Journal reported that Walmart (WMT), Amazon (AMZN), and other multinational companies have explored whether to issue their own stablecoins in the U.S. to get around traditional payment restrictions and offer the possibility for a quicker process

creemeeseason

For WMT 0.5% of revenue is a few million dollars annually. $172 million if my math is correct. You could spend a lot of money to save $172 million annually.

I’ve been feeling super positive about the market for the last few months and now I’m feeling the opposite, all vibe based. Exited a bunch of positions and loaded up some SGOV, BRKB, and WMT. Also keeping my ASTS, PLTR, TEM, and HOOD because buying back the calls I sold on them doesn’t make sense unless I genuinely think the market is going to croak - which isn’t a strong enough feeling to burn money.

Some interesting action in WMT this morning.

HaphazardFlitBipper

A mutual fund isn't an account, it's something you hold IN an account. Just like your bank account might have $100 in it, your brokerage account might have 100 shares of FXAIX or SWPPX. These are mutual funds. Investments in US markets are designed by a string of between 1 and 5 letters. Some are mutual funds or ETFs, some are stocks. Mutual funds and ETFs are very similar, both are collections of stocks that you can buy, own, and sell together. For example, WMT is Wal-Mart, an individual stock (stock = company). SPY is an ETF that contains about 500 different companies, one of which is WMT, but there are 499 others. You need to find out how to access your account, what investments are in it, and how much of each you have.
