Solid picks-n-shovels AI-infra play. Margins phattening but valuation too (problem if AI build-out truncated). I like the chart. Earnings fuelled gap up in Feb ($200-$240) and a run to ATH ($380). Re-testing $240. Golden pocket (fibonaccis) $240-$250. Price below 200 DMA ($261). Potential for brief death cross followed by golden cross and launch up. Careful if $230 breaks.

Grok Bot, the agentic AI by SpaceXAI, is now working for Green Garage Investing. So far its main task is to update the first several columns in the watchlist(s). I will run it at least weekly but hopefully all days before the market opens. Token usage willing. Grok Bot provides, for each name in the GGI Master Watchlist: • short term (3-6 months) bias rating of Buy, Hold or Sell • momentum potential now rating (1-10) • buy price • comments on the stock chart and/or reasons for its ratings • average Wall Street price target • news of note for each stock If you look in the Grok tab in the GGI Strike Price List spreadsheet you can see just this info, but if you look in other tabs you can then compare Grok's work to all of my research, analysis, and number crunching, including my Max Fear Strike Price, support levels, growth rates, financial metrics, etc. So far there are only 16 tickers in the GGI Master Watchlist but new ones will be added on an almost daily basis as I crunch the numbers. These features are only available to paid subscribers of GGI on Patreon. Prices start at about a cup of coffee a month. https://www.patreon.com/greengarage/posts/grok-bot-in-da-169764975?utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_linkread more
Do you guys lean more toward value stocks or growth stocks for the long term? I’m personally more focused on growth while I’m young, but I’m curious how everyone else builds their portfolio and why.
One of the best ways to look at your portfolio is to ask: what needs to happen next for each investment thesis to keep getting stronger? $AMD — continue gaining share in data centers and AI. $SOFI — turn member growth into more products per member, stronger fee revenue, and continued profitability.
For those who invest in individual stocks, what’s the biggest thing you look for before buying?👀⁉️ Strong growth, solid financials, good leadership, or something else? Curious to hear what makes a stock worth owning for you.
$NKE just hit october 2013 lows, non stop downside for this company, but a I think its time to start a small position with not high hopes of making huge profits. It is possible this company can turn things around but internally is all in disaray. This position will be a hold of hopes.
Today is quadruple witching day... SO expect, heavier than normal volume, possible price pinning and chop around major option strikes and sharper moves near the open and the close. $SPX as long as 7600 holds we'll a move to 7700 next week.. $QQQ touched 722 premarket then dropped to 717, through 722 we'll see a big push to 734-736 range $META setting up for a run to 700 by Monday. META Through 700 can run another 40 points. $DELL to 600 coming next as well. $AMD to 584. It's a buy the dip scenario as long as $SPX Holds 7600 and $QQQ holds 715 today. Good luck everyone!! 🫡
Massive gap up this morning in $SPX and $QQQ. SPX up almost 100 points, SPX to 7700 possible by tomorrow, $QQQ is up almost 12 pts premarket, Let's see if it can run to 722 by early next week. Everyone was bearish on Fintwit, The market always goes the opposite of what most people are predicting. $AMD up 20 points premarket.. AMD to 550 in play, $META to 700 possible next as well, $DELL to 600 coming. $MU$SNDK if they hold the gap up, MU to 1000, $SNDK to 1700 in play next too. Good luck today everyone, Be careful chasing the gap up! 🫡
👋 Hey everyone! Glad to be here and looking forward to learning from the Blossom community! I was recently looking through ENB (Enbridge), especially the cash vs. debt numbers, and honestly… the picture didn’t look great to me. 😅 Enbridge has around C$106.5B while cash was only around C$1.2B at year-end of 2025 But I keep seeing people saying ENB is a good buy. 🤔 What am I missing? Is the debt actually less concerning because of Enbridge’s strong operating cash flow, predictable infrastructure revenues, liquidity, and distributable cash flow? I’d genuinely love to hear how experienced ENB investors look at the cash, debt, DCF, and dividend together. Am I looking at the wrong numbers, or is there a bigger picture I’m missing?read more
Crude oil is trading around $101 per barrel, up roughly 20% over the past month, as the war with Iran shows little sign of ending. The consequences are spreading. Airlines are reportedly cancelling cheaper flights, Saudi Aramco has cancelled some European cargoes, and JPMorgan says it no longer has a clear baseline forecast for oil because of the conflict. The latest inflationary pressure appears to be increasingly supply-driven. Higher interest rates cannot create more oil or repair disrupted supply routes. However, they can weaken demand and prevent rising energy costs from spreading into wages and prices across the broader economy. The Fed can contain the secondary effects of an oil shock, but it cannot resolve the shortage causing it. The next major decision belongs to Trump. Republicans are entering the midterms as underdogs, giving the administration a political incentive to pursue de-escalation if elevated energy prices continue hurting consumers. Iranian officials have also received visas for the upcoming UN summit in New York. This is not proof that negotiations are approaching—the United States has obligations as the UN’s host country—but it keeps a potential diplomatic channel open. For now, I remain cautious on the broader market. Prolonged energy inflation could pressure growth stocks, consumer-facing companies and the wider economy, although energy producers may continue to benefit. I have trimmed some of my short-term $NBIS position and locked in profits. I am maintaining my long-term holdings because my underlying thesis on the company has not changed. Tomorrow, I will share the price levels where I would consider accumulating again. read more
Before I buy anything for the long term, I ask myself one question: will this company still be around in 10 years? For Nike, my answer is yes. Nike isn't just apparel anymore, it's become a cultural icon, especially for my generation. Yes, they've lost ground to smaller, more agile brands, and the shift toward direct-to-consumer (cutting out traditional retailers) has been a rocky transition. But I think this is fixable. It's really a leadership question at this point, and with the right moves at the top, I could see them turning it around within 2-3 years. Is this a risky position? Absolutely. But it's the kind of trade I'm used to making, and it's how I've built my approach over time. The bigger picture: I don't see a realistic path to Nike going to zero. They're everywhere ; the NBA, soccer, basically every major sport globally. That kind of omnipresence is a moat in itself. Bought more $NKE today. Staying the course.read more
I pay attention when insiders buy their own stock. But I think investors sometimes read too much into it. If an executive puts $5 million into their company, that doesn't necessarily mean: “The stock is going up next week.” It could simply mean they believe the market is undervaluing the business over a much longer period. And that's an important distinction. Whenever I see insider buying, I want to dig a little deeper. What price did they buy at? Was it an open-market purchase? How meaningful was the purchase to them personally? What does management think the business can look like five years from now? And most importantly: What could make their thesis wrong? The insider purchase is the signal. The research comes afterward. I don't want to copy someone's trade. I want to understand the thinking behind it.read more
One thing I think younger investors should start paying attention to: Sometimes the biggest opportunity isn't the asset everyone is talking about. It's the infrastructure underneath it. If tokenization keeps growing, you don't just need tokens. You need: Custody. Identity. Compliance. Settlement. Liquidity. Oracles. Credit. Trading venues. Stablecoins. Risk management. And eventually, automated agents acting on behalf of institutions. That's a completely different investment conversation from: "Which coin is going to 10x?" The institutional question is becoming: "What infrastructure allows trillions of dollars to move on-chain safely?" That distinction matters. The current regulatory environment is also moving quickly. The failure of the U.S. CLARITY Act doesn't mean regulatory questions disappeared; meanwhile, the SEC has taken steps toward permitting certain forms of tokenized-stock trading under a temporary exemption framework. So I'm watching the infrastructure layer very closely. Not because every infrastructure company or token will succeed. But because markets tend to create value around the rails that enable new financial activity. If you were researching this space today, would you rather study the next token or the infrastructure that institutions will need to use the tokens? read more
This overnight move confirms my bias, it's hard to argue against bullish trend here. The only thing I am worried about is their fundamentals, unless they can provide results and relief to investors, I don't see this trend lasting long. Am I Missing something?
$MU is one of the most loved names in the market right now, the memory chip at the center of the AI build. The story is loud. But I don’t trade stories Here is what it sees in $MU today. The relative strength is still there, it holds above its weekly line at 995.0, and the bigger trend is healthy. On those alone, you would call it a leader. But the scanner will not confirm it, and the reason is the one thing a loud story cannot fake: volume. The demand behind $MU has gone quiet, and it sits in a caution zone after a big run. So the tool flags it conditional, a marginal setup, the kind you only take when nothing cleaner exists. That is not a knock on the company. It is the tape telling the buyers are not fully here yet. So here is the read it, level by level. It trades near 1003.7, just above its weekly line at 995.0. To turn this from marginal into a real move, it needs to clear the overhead at 1022.7 on volume that actually shows up. Lose the support at 947.6 and the caution was right. The cleaner entry, if it comes, is a patient pullback toward 1000 where the risk tightens. Not investment advice. Find more of my deep dives on my next publication 📪🐝
Bought around $370 and it’s been one of the more slept on positions in my portfolio. I added $ISRG because I wanted something outside of all the AI/semi exposure. Strong moat, recurring revenue, robotic surgery still has a long runway, and it’s the kind of company I’m happy to let compound. Not chasing the move and not taking profits here. Still holding and letting the thesis play out.
I still think that $SOFI still has one more test the resistance in the 14.9 line.. before the end of the year.. Thaat would be and amazing timing to respect the upside long term tendency and if breake the 19.3 line.. we can expect and pull back to test the same lime as new resistance and hopefully with the SP500 inclusion we can see the 40 dollars by the end of 2027.
National Bank's September Sector Report: what actually matters for Canadian portfolios right now Went through National Bank Financial's September Vision sector report in full this week, and the read-through is more useful for what it contradicts about consensus positioning than for what it confirms. A few things stood out that I think are under appreciated by Canadian retail investors like me right now. Sector rotation: NBF maintains its sector allocation unchanged within Canadian equities, with above-benchmark exposure to energy, industrials, and materials. Both sectors are well positioned to benefit from Ottawa’s renewed focus on resource development and reindustrialization. Enbridge is still a good investment long term according to what I know but isn't a top pick for NB - and the reason why matters more than the rating itself. ENB carries a Sector Perform from NBF's pipelines desk, not Outperform, with a 12-month target of $81.00. Against Friday's close of $68.14, that's ~19% upside, which sounds fine in isolation until you see it against the five names NBF actually selected this month: $ALA AltaGas, $CPX Capital Power, $GEI Gibson Energy, $RGSI Rockpoint Gas Storage, and $TRP TC Energy. NBF screens this list on Adjusted Funds From Operations (AFFO) yield plus forward-looking projection (2025–29 AFFO/share growth), balance sheet health and catalyst density. Enbridge's problem isn't the business, it's the math. At ~12x distributable cash flow and mid-single-digit distribution growth, it's priced like the "safe" name because it is one, but that safety is exactly what caps the return relative to smaller, faster-growing midstream peers with real catalysts. None of this breaks the ENB thesis as a core income holding it just means "top pick" and "core hold" are different questions. Tourmaline still has the cleanest energy setup on the list. OP rating, $75.00 target, ~23% upside from Friday's $60.85 close, in a group where NBF is broadly constructive on WTI staying "higher for longer" given continued Strait of Hormuz disruption risk. Worth noting $TOU carries zero exposure on either side of the Canada–US tariff lists that landed in August/September, energy was carved out by both governments. Gold miners: Three Outperform ratings, three target cuts, one name already trading above its new target. $ABX Barrick, $AEM Agnico Eagle, and $K Kinross all kept their OP ratings this month but all three saw price targets cut - Barrick to $70.00, Agnico to $275.00, Kinross to $47.50. Agnico is the interesting case: it closed Friday at $278.97, already above its own freshly-lowered target. That's not NBF turning bearish on gold, it's a valuation model catching up to a stock that ran hotter than the NAV math supports, and it's not isolated to National Bank; BofA, Barclays, RBC, and Raymond James have all trimmed their targets in the same window while staying constructive on gold. The lesson: a target cut alongside a maintained BUY is a valuation reset, not a thesis reversal. A few names cleared screening this month that deserve a caveat before treating them as live ideas. 1. $GFL Environmental is NBF's explicit top idea in Industrial Products - OP, $81.00 target, and the risk-reward is backed by something real: GFL has been fielding take-private approaches since early July, with the CEO confirming offers "materially higher" than market value. 2. $QBR-B Quebecor ($74.00 target, ~15% upside) is currently a live GTC order in my own book, not an open idea. 3. $REI-UN RioCan REIT screens well on paper but failed technical validation this month, a reminder that a strong fundamental score and a tradeable entry are two separate tests. 4. $AD-UN Alaris, $EXE Extendicare, $DBM Doman Building Materials, and $HPS-A Hammond Power round out names worth a closer look, none of them positions yet. Net takeaway for Canadian investors: this report is a good corrective against treating "widely held" and "top pick" as synonyms. The names getting NBF's actual conviction this month skew toward smaller-cap growth-and-catalyst stories, not the large, liquid stocks and the gold miner target cuts are a useful signal that the easy money in that trade already happened.
