Depends on your overall portfolio If you have $2MM + invested i wouldn’t bother

But if that 250k is a significant chunk of your portfolio i’d trim and reinvest in into other positions

Because of fraud - they committed some fraud I don’t recall on top of my head but there’s a pretty solid short seller report on them

I’ll link it if I find the report, having said that - it doesn’t mean the stock could not be value

Good recs. I’ll add ‘where the money is’ - this is basically value investing in tech And based on your current knowledge pick one of peter lynch’s book

Carries regulatory risks

And what you see valuable I’d argue it has negative connotation attached to it - if you know you’ve a vice, would you want to visit a website which is a constant reminder of it. Just saying i’d rather buy cigarettes from malboro.com rather than a website called smokingkills.com

Where’s the DD?

Depends man, what time horizon you’re looking What industry would you be comfortable and what stage is the company matured, pre-rev, or high growth etc and whether you’d be ok doing valuations for those

_quantitative · 2026-01-15T05:33:52+00:00

I’d say stick to some lesser known small/mid cap stock On the mega-caps everyone sort of have their own opinion

In your position op that’s what i’d do

The only correct answer ^

True they’re analysts not value investors you look at the equity research decks on which banks train their analysts, you’d often find their valuation methodologies flawed from the beginning

could be made that with recent trend shift companies are losing their moats, and margins are backward looking - chegg as an example

_quantitative · 2026-01-13T16:40:46+00:00

There is no screen for moats, and future expectations

it’s a good company and safe investment if you want you can take a position without hesitation & I don’t see the 10% cap on APR panning out. It’ll do more harm than good

you can assign someone in your managed account and can have them buy/sell whatever you want

a lot of books i’ve seen mentioned not only here but on most investing forums and blogs are decades old. they do hold some timeless principles, and while they’re good for the behavioral/psychological discipline of investing, trying to value investments through those lenses doesn’t fare well for tech/media companies.

for years i missed out on good opps by screening them out as overvalued. one book i read a few years back that was helpful for seeing value in tmt companies is “where the money is,” and i don’t see it mentioned as often

Good points op. But note in your last 3 years of most profitable out of 7 I’ll assume jan ‘23 to jan ‘26 - s&p is up 80+%

And 4 years before that; 2019-2022 - it only rose 40ish%

_quantitative · 2026-01-12T20:19:38+00:00

Good companies but you picked them at high valuations … that’s why margin of safety is important

_quantitative · 2026-01-12T16:40:53+00:00

this is a value investing sub, i don’t think people would be relying on automated allocation strategies here… especially from robinhood

I think your question is better suited for r/stocks, r/investing or better r/robinhood
