Show me yours and I'll show you mine.
SMCI: 19 shares, $773.22 cost/share.
Not a crazy amount, but certainly the most I've ever had in it. I'm sure it pales in comparison to what other folks have...
I'll play
POWL- 300 shares at 146 (bought my first load when was still teetering off 160.
SMCI- 15 shares at 726
I'll DCA down or cash out fat depending on which direction we go. I'm trying to visit Valhalla.

Thoughts on ETSY?
But would never invest in it. They are just the platform, don't have their own products.
Also, inb4
They are starting to move away from their original model of crafts and homemade gift opening the doors to major retailers which I think is a mistake.
what about SpaceX?Brewmaster said:
TSLA will be bigger than robots. Their work in batteries is going to have far reaching applications (housing and city power grids). Honestly the sky is the limit for Tesla. If he created a phone, half of X would buy it tomorrow. It's P/E is quite high though, so hard for me to tell everyone buy, buy, buy!
StarLink at some point may go public, something to keep an eye on. A far more affordable infrastructure for high speed internet (than what our current regime wants).
Careful - don't conflate Elon Musk with Tesla. Starlink, X (Twitter) and SpaceX are not part of Tesla. Elon's holdings are mostly independent entities, although he seems to forget that on occasion. Other than the battery work you mention, TSLA shareholders would not directly benefit from anything else you listed. Here's a graphic that might be helpful:Brewmaster said:

Some relative strength with LUMN, they are one toothless AI press release away from a short squeeze. Possible fake breakdown, if $1.25 holds. Possible macro shift away from Mag 7.
Quote:
Chair and CEO Wendell P. Weeks said, "The outperformance was driven primarily by the strong adoption of our new optical connectivity products for generative AI, which drove record sales in the Enterprise portion of our Optical Communications business. The opportunity is only growing; in fact, in the third quarter, we reached an agreement with Lumen Technologies Inc (NYSE:LUMN) that uses our new gen-AI fiber and cable system to facilitate Lumen's build of a new network to interconnect AI-enabled data centers."
