New Stock I Just Bought a TON Of (Oct 2026)

Core investing message / framework

• Buy stocks only at a significant discount (avoid “popular promotions” / “hot” momentum).
• Long-term buy-and-hold: wealth is made over years, sometimes years before value becomes evident.
• Avoid short-term evaluation:
  • Don’t judge by monthly/quarterly performance
  • Don’t over-focus on being relative to the S&P 500
  • Don’t chase hype/momentum (contrasted with “trader” behavior)
• Contrarian timing via sentiment and valuation:
  • Buy when sentiment is very negative even if the business is intact / improving
  • Typical pattern: buy after declines, then hold as expectations recover
• Caution against “it’s easy to time the market”:
  • The approach argues that simply reacting to short-term chart moves isn’t reliably reproducible for most investors

Examples & performance narratives (key numbers mentioned)

Personal reference period / performance framing

• Best year: 2022
• Mentions biggest historical declines during that period
• Claims they were lagging the S&P initially, but later benefited from multi-year growth

“Hot stock” vs long-term entry behavior

• Emphasizes not buying “hot” names by price-chasing.

Ticker/price examples used to illustrate timing

• Meta (META): noted being on the list around the $500 range; expectation it could drop toward $400 (sentiment-based contrarian setup).
• SoFi (SOFI):
  • Bought when below $10
  • Claims the shares later “skyrocketed” to around $32 (used to illustrate avoiding late entries after run-ups)
  • Notes a later period around $15–$16, saying fundamentals were better today than last year at $32
• Google / Alphabet (implied): entry discussed as being in the mid-100s, avoiding the need to have bought “really cheap” years earlier well below $100.
• Palantir (PLTR): mentions being around $6, as an example of avoiding repeated “rinse and repeat” trades just after price moves.
• Amazon (AMZN) and Netflix (NFLX): discussed as current buys (no specific “current” price stated in the provided subtitles).

Current stock buys (explicit recommendations)

1. Amazon (AMZN)

• Positioning: presented as a buy / ongoing add.
• Rationale:
  • Narrative: “everything is positive”
  • Highlights AWS as a previously “laughed at” growth engine that became significant
  • Claims Amazon is positioned for multiple industry revolutions, including AI
  • Valuation comment: “one of the lowest valuations it has ever traded at” (no specific multiple provided)
• Tone: “I’ll keep adding… as long as Wall Street wants to be stupid.”

2. SoFi (SOFI)

• Positioning: presented as a buy / ongoing add.
• Rationale:
  • Stock price matters less than the fundamental business change
  • Fundamentals improving (cites around $15–$16 vs last year $32)
  • As fundamentals improve, higher valuations become more supportable
• Risk/behavioral caution:
  • People are more worried because they let the stock price drive decisions

3. Netflix (NFLX) — described as a new addition

• Positioning: buy due to valuation and business durability.
• Rationale:
  • Framed as “insanely cheap” / near its lowest rating ever (no metric provided; suggests extreme valuation pessimism)
  • AI tailwind: claims Netflix said this in its last earnings report
  • Not dependent on AI as a single-point catalyst
  • Pricing power:
    • Subscriptions increased over the last 6 years
    • Claims growth has not caused mass exodus
  • “One hit series away” from a breakthrough (presented as uncertain upside)
• Portfolio role:
  • Described as a hedge against AI slowdown risk for a portfolio heavy in “technologically complex things”

Methodology / step-by-step (as implied)

• Choose long-term, understandable businesses
• Check valuation and buy only when the stock is materially discounted
• Compare sentiment vs. business reality (look for “everything around seems negative” while fundamentals improve)
• Ignore short-term noise (price fluctuations, relative performance vs the S&P 500)
• Buy and hold, recognizing that value realization can take years
• Avoid chasing run-ups (example: don’t re-enter after a spike to levels like $32 for SoFi)
