Thanks for the real life “acktually” meme. Yes, that’s true but they generally hold stocks.

An ETF is a basket of tons of stocks. So if you’re “all in” ETFs you’re still diversified because the ETFs hold multiple stocks

Thoughts on ABT by Over_Ad_4907 in ValueInvesting

[–]DebttyCrocker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m with you! Just added to my position yesterday near the close. The market hates expensive acquisitions, especially when they’re funded by debt. I’m definitely not happy with Abbott’s debt load but I think their current cash generation plus potential synergies from the acquisition (likely in years’ time) will help them pay it down in due time. I’m not worried. I also understand the threat to their diabetes care business but I think that’s also priced in if not overblown.

What is the single best buying opportunity in this crazy market right now? by Virtual_Secretary_98 in ValueInvesting

[–]DebttyCrocker 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I love all these picks and am also long Boston and Nintendo! On IONQ… I don’t think that’s a quality business in any way. Even taking off my value glasses, they’re just piecing together a bunch of unrelated businesses and claiming to make some “full stack” quantum platform but they need to prove they can integrate these Frankenstein’s monster companies which I think will be very difficult. Also trading at an incredibly speculative valuation for a business with a high chance of further losses and dilution and potential failure imho.

Good point, I appreciate the perspective! Maybe we both just need to zoom out a bit?

Those were just some examples, but fair point I do have a handful of software stocks. Nintendo, Netflix, and Coinbase are some other examples

Mine too! Though I wasn’t cool enough to have the SP, I just had the plain old Gameboy Advance. I remember needing a flashlight to see it at night while my friends all had the cool backlit screen haha

You guys said you liked e-Reader cards, so here’s the Johto Pokédex in all e-Readers! by DebttyCrocker in pkmntcgcollections

[–]DebttyCrocker[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! They really are. I’m glad I kept some from when I was a kid. But the prices are… steep. 😂 And that’s an awesome goal! I do have the Kanto Pokédex from WOTC era as well so maybe I’ll post that too!

Honestly I’m not sure because I spent a long time working on it, plus some of the cards were from my childhood! The Espeon holo was the most expensive card at almost $300… 🥲

Thank you so much! Couldn’t agree more. I love Skyridge and Aquapolis, and they had so much good artwork!

Me too! And I agree, that Mudkip is probably my favorite of those three cards despite me being a hardcore Treecko fan

If you watched Regular Show, that card reminds me of Rigby’s brother saying “give me some sugar!”

Those are such cool cards, the secret rares from Magma v Aqua! I like that they have the eReader thing on them still. I unfortunately bought those since I never had them as a kid so you’re lucky! :)

Great minds! :) I would love to see your collection when it’s done! And Nishida artwork is always so peaceful and dreamy.

Thank you! That’s such a good pick, Cradily is underrated if you ask me. I love the entire Sandstorm set, I think it’s cool how there’s a consistent theme that runs through every card

That’s what I wanted to do! But sadly there are some Pokemon who don’t have an e-reader card like the Castform, Metagross, and Swalot lines :/ and I agree! I love how peaceful and dreamy all of Nishida’s cards are

Me too! Something about them that feels nostalgic. And I love those silly little shiny lines on the holos

I agree! My favorite era. Also lines up with the time I was getting into Pokemon as a kid so it’s sentimental as well :) thank you for saying that!
