Remember,

You don't need immense wealth to retire. Many people continue to work until they die, even if they're financially secure.

Consider prioritizing a simpler lifestyle and enjoying your hobbies. In the end, time is a precious resource that cannot be purchased

Please direct "how to short profitably" questions to the DOE

BREAKING: DOE announces 2.5 million more barrels of oil have been bought for the SPR refill, this will keep SPR deliveries going through March 2025. The price is about $18/bbl lower than the selling price of $95 from 2022's emergency sales. - Patrick De Haan ⛽️📊

RT @EricJhonsa: $WDAY soared after taking down its medium-term revenue growth target but raising its op. margin target, while $SNOW tanked after sharing an above-consensus top-line guide but a below-consensus op. margin guide. Markets are maybe sending a message to SaaS companies here.

During market downturns, many people claim to have predicted the decline. Similarly, during uptrends, they insist they foresaw the rise.

Remember, predicting the market is impossible. We can't see the future, and we can't anticipate the actions of others

Crystal ball won't work, The best investment strategy is often to buy and hold assets for the long term.

🇺🇸 Paypal $PYPL is now trading at $71 and has a PE above 18x
2025 PE is for now 15.5x

The stock may go to $90 by mid-2025 and still be reasonably valued. However, above $90 without new improvements, it would probably be a bullish excess

What is your fair price for Paypal?

⁠Hidden Value Gems
An interesting stock idea in Barron’s ➡️ $EG

✅ Everest is the world’s fourth-largest property and casualty reinsurer.

✅ It has an impressive record of growth and profitability in recent years. The company, along with other reinsurers, is capitalizing on a “hard market,” or a period of higher premiums on catastrophe and other policies. Net written premiums are expected to rise 12% this year to $15 billion, double the 2019 level.

✅ The shares of the Bermuda-based company reflect little of that. The stock, at around $378, trades for just 6x estimated 2024 earnings of $62 a share and for less than 1.2 times book value of $328 a share on June 30. Everest has one of the lowest price/earnings ratios in the S&P 500 index.

✅ The reasons for a low valuation are concerns over softening reinsurance market, disappointing guidance by management.
