WMT

pman6

what's frustrating is that NOTHING is working for me. WMT ain't doing shit. AMD PYPL I will never get my money back for 10 years. ​ They say buy defensive stocks?

Ed_Chambers_650

WMT must be guilty

sum_dude44

I'm all in on MAGNA--MSFT, AAPL, GOOG (not calling it alphabet, sorry), NVDA, and AMZN. Personally think AMZN and GOOG have most runway in future--hard to not see AMZN as highest market cap in 5-10 years, as it's basically WMT and GOOG (minus search engine) rolled into one.

These are the Dot Com 2.0 stocks. Most will never recover. That doesn't mean you can't recover some of their lost value by holding. But they are never hitting those ATH's in 2021 ever again, just like $INTC and $CSCO never hit dot com 1999 ATH's ever again. I would recommend to not buy anymore shares of these stocks and just hold what you already have and buy value stocks to diversify. Who is your cellphone provider? Buy $T or $VZ. What is your utility provider? Buy that stock. Do you shop at $WMT or $TGT? Buy the stock of that store. My worthless 2 cents.

BlurredSight

A little bullshit WMT put for July 1st at $119 maybe the recession news hits different

Obsidianram

When I see companies like AMZN, GE and GOOG making massive splits, and companies conducting massive share buybacks (MRO now, WMT for years, etc)...I take that as the thunder before the shit storm hits. Oil's not going away by any means, let's be clear on that...but all this adds up to something worse than '08.

possiblerussianbot69

it's hard to suss out what is inflating b/c of currency devaluation vs supply problems. energy and food are obviously supply as the bolsheviks are attacking it (you vill live in ze pod and eat ze bugs) but chinese made shit you find at WMT or TGT, I don't know if that shit has really sky rocketed or not. I don't waste time in those places unless absolutely necessary.

possiblerussianbot69

burr-E talking about bull huhwhip effect. basically WMT and TGT bought too much at the top, have to sell for cheaper to liquidate inventory, leading to deflation leading to "ermhgurd see guise, inflation is down we can stop tightening now!". I'm skeptical...I'm not sure some bad inventory management can outweigh trillions in printing. However, I'm poor and burr-E is not...so

Pretty bearish on WMT after that last earnings

existingCS_

Do BRKB, JNJ, UNH, WMT, KO, AMD, MS, ABNB. fuck all the other stocks ong u don’t need AAPL cuz brk

Neither_Professor387

The most important thing is what you buy. The boring stock WMT (Walmart) keeps chucking along. Even during the Covid bust, it kept on going. WMT controls 50% of India’s payment business. WMT is as big as Amazon in India. There are other stocks similar to WHT.

BlueCordLeads

I decided now is the perfect time to buy beaten down natural gas and oil as well as some small investments into EZ Pawn Shops and Walmart at almost a 2 year low for WMT. I agree that we are not at the bottom yet as the Pawn shop stocks are very cheap and only at the bottom of the market do they peak. Any advice for best pay day lender stocks as well as any auction companies? Also, even after the US recovers or stabilizes our energy prices Europe will continue to see high prices so I have been buying BNO (US Brent Oil) and LNG (US Natural Gas shipped to Europe). Keep thinking how to live it up as we go down.

Puzzled_Raccoon8169

Don’t have any related to this topic. TSLA, CHWY, TGT, WMT, SQQQ, WEBR, and calls on WEBR right now.

Retard_boomer

WMT If you have TOS, you can use scan to find what you are looking for. You can also google dividend stocks and go through them pretty quickly. If the stock doesn’t move much, you won’t get much with CC, so you are looking for stock that moves.

floppy_panoos

Time to call bullshit on FDX? I'm thinkin' so... Consumer slowing down, what the fuck are they shipping? Guidance was all based on last quarter that resulted in record inventories that fucked TGT and WMT so bad.

OKImHere

What I'm saying is you invested 300k and you have only a little more than 300k. Meanwhile, the market has gone up 60%. >And are you saying that you don’t consider profits from one stock to balance up losses from another in your portfolio? Almost. I'm saying that if you count gains as offsetting losses, then the losses are gone, but so are the gains. That's what offsetting means. If I have a $20 debt and I pay it with $20, I have 0. I don't still have $20. If you lose your ass on WMT and make it all up on NFLX, then you can't say you made money on WMT. You have to say you lost your ass on WMT. This concept doesn't change if you instead make the tickers match. You can sum different lots to calculate how much money you have. But don't sum them to make yourself feel better about losses.

Have_A_Nice_Fall

ULTA destroyed me. I went in hard after TGT and WMT tanked, and I felt there was some meat on the bones in ULTA. It gapped up 3 days in a row to basically ATH. It liquidated all extra cash I had and everything I had made shorting this year. Too big of a position, and reaffirmed why I don’t like playing earnings.

PM_Me_Your_Mustash

WMT went rogue

Repulsive_Bar_5083

Lol I’m new to WSB and just didn’t want to offend. We are on the same page. My gut just tells me that spending can only hold up so long and when WMT and TGT can both shit the bed simultaneously (both great companies) tells me things are tough but I don’t have much else to back that conviction. I’m 33 and have never really invested/traded in a bear market. I traded options heavily in college and made every mistake possible then I was an auditor for 2 years after college and it totally changed my perspective. Nasdaq is not for me, reminds me of trading leveraged etf options and HOLDING them in 09. I wouldn’t mind COIN going to zero though. I start to feel delusional when the puts look cheap at 120+ IV🧐

Repulsive_Bar_5083

All the puts aside from SPY were made on no research lol aside from trying to guess which companies would likely have to adjust guidance downward based on supply chain. First shot at the play/rationale was HD (loss) and WMT (gain) I figured when WMT hit and adjusted guidance other companies would too bc WMT is run like a well oiled machine. Also, I’m 33 and have never invested/traded in a bear market or anything like this and in my job I’ve seen what a dramatic effect interest rates have already had on projections (I’ve never seen it firsthand) so that made me try and steer away from companies with healthy balance sheets (hasn’t always worked bc I’m a degenerate). I somehow forgot to mention CPB which is my loosely correlated low IV recession play? Idfk, it’s interesting though. I traded options big in college and early 20s then stopped when I was losing money when everyone was making money buying stocks while I was losing in options. Fast forward 10yrs with a job and responsibilities and here I am on WSB and a shit TD Ameritrade account. I have to say TD is somehow worse than Scottrade. My partner thinks I closed this account in March but really I just moved to Fidelity and left $5k. 🤷‍♂️🤡🚀

PM_ME_YOUR_AMFUNK

second this, mechanically it will drop. On top of that, i'm bearish because of high gas prices and the bullwhip effect. High gas prices hurt their margins, no brainer with their transport business. Then we have all the stores like TGT, WMT. They ordered too much shit to meet demand, and now that prices went up and consumer demand is falling, they had major sales (which are good if you're shopping). This was reflected recently in those big drops. For FDX this should mean that fewer people are shopping online, and so that will be bad for business. I don't see the people snagging sales making a dent in the bigger picture.

drew-gen-x

Gold? AT&T? $IBM? $KO? $WMT? Do you want me to go on? Or still hold cash?

GeorgeSaucington

I have half of my $ in total market ETFs like DVY, HDV, VIG, VYM and IVW. I'm probably going to think about adding a good bank stock and retailer like WMT/LOW. Continuing to DCA into these over time

UnObtainium17

Pretty solid list. I would probably diversify a little more by adding a bank/bank etf, good retail giant like HD/LOW/WMT etc and some heavy industial stocks like DOW/CAT/UNP etc.

dtlabsa

I just sold all my positions except WMT. I told myself I won't get greedy and take my gains and be happy. I was mad at myself for not selling yesterday and seeing futures deep red this morning. It was a good run up Lucid, Rivian, and Google. I'll wait for ARKK to get blasted and I'll load up on TARK for a day or two.

Ok-Comfortable6400

Former associate of the club. 6% match on your 6% contribution for your 401k is literally a 100% return on your money. The stock option is also extremely generous as well. I think it is $60ish per pay check will get you the full match. Is $60 bucks a lot, yes it is, it is a tank of gas, but it is also a carton of cigarettes (in some places). I would rather not smoke and let my money earn money for me. Anyway all companies have their “Problems or issues”, but of all the ones $WMT has, this is by far one of the best things an associate can do for themselves and their family.

IMAP5tuff

Been burned selling covered calls on BYND in the past. Depends on your spread. I have calls I bought Friday on WMT that I sold the premium today against them to lock in profits. If you straight in with a credit spread you'll probably be good given that these are monthlys.

sincitygames

SYM ran because WMT bought 60% of the shares. Or did you mean the SVFA warrants to .29? Not sure but there is big volume every couple of days on warrants.

Yeezzeus

Fuck it! I’m loading up on WMT calls, because even in a recession people still gotta eat and you can’t beat those prices.

notpaultx

Hands down, I would load up on COST or WMT since you know people gonna freak out and buy everything off the shelves

BrokeSingleDads

No WMT?

taintmoun

Demand will be diminishing in traditional mortal and brick stores where they fail to accomodate the needs of aging population. For instance if AMZN can offer free delivery with drones within 2hrs of grocery orders, why would anyone bother to go to WMT? Same goes for JPM/BAC as compared to SOFI/PYPL/UPST (btw when's your last time you actually needed cash? I haven't touched any cash since late 2019) The demand will soar into those companies who can provide the services while the demand will die for those who can't provide the service. This is all deflationary forces that requires QE and unlimited money printing.

reaper527

> If NFLX gets into hardware and breaks into the WMT market.. possibilities? except the hardware market for streaming boxes is dying as these components get integrated into the tv themself. the only market for hardware for this kind of purpose is going to be extremely fringe/niche and that's going to be for raspberry pi type devices that aren't gated and can simply run anything you throw at it.

FemaleEcho

Some thoughts on the state of the economy: wages are the last to move in an inflationary environment and history shows increases to lag even further over time, this leaves many to put in more hours trying to increase income or cut back on expenditures. People who put in more hours have less time for frivolous expenses and are more likely to spend the extra income on the increased cost of necessities plus some fear savings. People who choose to cut back on the expenditures absolutely have to spend on necessities. When investing in the stock market it is best to find where the money isn’t and get there before the money is, in this case I am looking at necessities and I think there may be a real case to be made for investing in WMT.

xdylanxfrommyspace

Rumors of a Netflix>Roku acquisition… could turn the tides on NFLX and make them a player again. Lots of opportunity there. If NFLX gets into hardware and breaks into the WMT market.. possibilities? Maybe

Nosemyfart

TMO is looking rather good right about now. Will probably buy 1 tomorrow. Will definitely add more if it drops further. GOOG is looking good at this price too, lower pe than KO and WMT

Beetlejuice_hero

You’re being an insufferable dick because - regardless of your feelings toward this stonk- it obviously does not fit the criteria of the OP’s request. It’s the opposite of “boring” (insanely wild swings) and it hasn’t been “consistent with strong results.” Just shut up. You deserve the downvotes, and here’s one more. (Oh also, I own GME). To the OP - I always think of WMT & MCD for your question. I don’t own either presently but am monitoring. I do own RTX which has paid out a dividend a million years in a row.

i-do-maths

The thesis would normally be proven true. However, I personally believe that neither has met there lows. If I was looking for somewhere to out $1300, I would wait for lower prices overall. I would be looking to double my money within the year though. If you're good with doubling your money within 4 to 5 years than either WMT or MCD would be good.

Lovelylives

They're going to have less net income, that's a fact. But as these bloated tech corps get hammered bigly.. idk if I was a whale I'd park some in WMT. DKS can go fuck itself tho

Vast_Cricket

I think timing is ripe for inexperienced to lose it all again. Experienced lost 40-50% from the the last few months. Last 10 days were brutal. McD lost -15% ytd, WMT lost -20% in 30 days. Every indication suggests we are not at the bottom yet. The recovery often take months to recover. In the mean time read about stocks, investments. Do not want to see you live in front of a cement plant either. All the best.

UnderB0SS

Doing things when it’s no longer good for the brand vs just doing the right thing. I’ve never really been a fan of WMT other than their fishing section.

People like SHOP because they think it will compete in the online retail space against AMZN and WMT. I think most of those people don't actually realize what SHOP sells as a company.     Edit: One GLARING risk is one they point out themselves in their 2021 annual filing:     > *We currently rely on a single supplier to provide the technology we offer through Shopify Payments.*     > At present, we have payment service provider agreements with Stripe, Inc. ("Stripe"), which automatically renew every 12 months,unless either party terminates the agreement earlier upon 180 days' notice. These agreements are integral to Shopify Payments and,at this time, any disruption or problems with Stripe or its services could have an adverse effect on our reputation, results ofoperations and financial results. We have the ability, under our current agreements, to integrate alternative payment service providersfor Shopify Payments. However, if Stripe were to terminate its relationship with us before an alternative payment service providerwas fully integrated, we could incur substantial delays and expense, and the quality and reliability of such alternative paymentservice provider may not be comparable.

I see WMT, TGT, and COST are also down, but not as extreme. Not seeing any news related to that industry either. Weird.

Sapere_aude75

Some of the data I've looked at seems to disagree about this being all supply side issues. If that is the case, how do you explain for example this data on retail sales? [https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/RSXFS](https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/RSXFS) While at the same time production is back above pre covid https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/INDPRO ​ We are buying a shitload more while the supply we are producing is the same. ​ I think the Feds change in policy is already having an effect as seen in new housing inventory and the overstock TGT and WMT are seeing. https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/MSACSR ​ CPI is a shitty way of representing inflation and it's designed to be that way. Shelter cost increases will slowly bleed into CPI for quite some time, and they know that. By keeping rates so low so long, they drove up home values that will continue to bleed into rental prices. Here are some fed projections that show shelter cpi should increase until at least 2024 [https://www.dallasfed.org/research/economics/2021/0824](https://www.dallasfed.org/research/economics/2021/0824) ​ So I agree CPI is going to have large components that will stay elevated for quite some time(because of the Feds own policy choices). That said, these rate hikes are critical to stop the continuation of this. It's going to take a few years to bring the inflation back down. If the fed ignores the problem we could go into a full blown wage price spiral and it wont stop until people can't afford to survive. Raising rates is the lesser of two evils here.

Thefellowang

Personally I think today's sell-off is more on the concern of recession instead of rate hikes. For example, PG and WMT didn't go down - both of which normally regarded as recession plays.

asianrockstar2009

Buy the most boring ass stocks you can find like JNJ, PEP, KO, WMT. Consumer defensive stocks are the only stocks you should be buying in this market. I favor PEP out of those but all 4 should do well in this environment.

AshFromTheStands

I’ll have to make a call on WMT when I get more data. It’s a bit early for me on how deep or long lasting the recession may get. We’re in it now, yet unemployment has light years to go before it becomes a problem. Staffing of people is still incredibly difficult. Some early retirees of the last two years may find themselves needing to come back because their nest egg got cracked, but they won’t be counted as “unemployed”. They’ll just be searching. I need to see 60 days of income challenges in order to make a call on the discount retailers. And WMT just sucks anyway. I don’t like them. They did have Mountain Dew Baja Blast the other day when no one else did, so props to them on that.
