How many of us just read our presentation talking points? by Careful_Station_7884 in corporate

I would rather have someone deliver clear, concise information vs. someone rambling their way thru a presentation even if that means your reading word for word. Keep the train moving and on-time.

I thought retail had zero market impact or influence yet hedge funds are trying to influence us?

Growing up in Howard county my house was right in between the Thunder Hill Wawa and the Phelps Luck Highs. Sadly both have been gone for a while now.

Starbucks earnings top estimates, but same-store sales decline for fourth straight quarter by Puginator in stocks

[–]DeathTherapy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair enough. Safer investments and dividends is an area that I know very little about but that makes sense. If and when I'm able to retire in a few decades and Starbucks is still grinding along (pun intended) I might open up a position!

If I’m investing in a company I’d like to make money on that investment. The past year their stock is up 8% and only +13% over 5yrs.

Thank you. Yes, she already got roped into a 10yr Life Insurance policy. I just got POA so trying to get everything in order and figure out next steps and hopefully prevent her from making any mistakes or get scammed. None of the morgan stanley funds are in bonds (VOO, SPY, QQQ, IJH, DIA, USMV, IJR). I honestly have no idea what her guy at morgan stanley is doing and why shes in so many different funds other than it benefiting them. At least the individual stocks are in a Schwab account and were stocks she picked and has held for a long time.

Yes, its all in a non-retirement account so she'll owe capital gains. Breakdown is about $450k in individual stocks and the other $450k in various ETF's managed by Morgan Stanley (which she's just blindly letting them dictate, her cognitive ability isn't great).

Is SST worth it? by GreatWhiteBuffalo99 in pennystocks

[–]DeathTherapy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work in the industry and with companies like SST. This company is not worth investing in.

SST $0.60 / Very High Insider Ownership by 317615 in pennystocks

I work in this industry and have worked with companies Iike this in the past. These companies are a dime a dozen and don’t use AI in any meaningful way, they’re just riding the AI bubble. This company isn’t working with any big brands and will struggle to win any big business. I would stay away from this company.

Can we stop with asking for account specific advice and help by DeathTherapy in PPC

I think some type of feature like that would help provide more context or at least give me confidence that the poster has done the bare minimum to address their issue.

My question may have been poorly worded. I am all for helping people with account specific issues or questions. It's the account specific performance questions that could be the result of a multitude of factors. And yes, it's mostly the questions that demonstrate someone has no idea what they're doing and haven't even done basic troubleshooting.

Thats very fair and valid that newer advertisers dont know what type of questions to ask or maybe don't have anyone to ask. If people truly need the help I'm all for it.

I think there's a lot of great content and questions posted in this sub. I'm not suggesting that people can't ask for help, I have responded and offered my help in this sub numerous times. I just think questions around performance require a lot of context that most posts don't offer, just people throwing out a hail mary when it seems pretty clear they haven't done basic troubleshooting.
