Dan Ives insists it will be a trillion dollar company in a few years.
that being the case I've roughly calculated price per share at about USD407

This is related to two of the biggest and costliest mistakes overall. Pretty consistent with posters on here and talking with folks in passing about “playing the market”. When folks use those words, my ears perk up as I love to learn what not to do.


The biggest solution for highest ROI, proven true, is to sketch out
1) objective for the play and the funds.
2) time horizon


Without those, it’s just playing the market via whims, trends, feelings and greed.

The single biggest “solution”, in my opinion, is to keep it emotionless.

I can see both sides. What’s important to keep in mind is that if someone built a position in PLTR as recently as a year ago it has likely become a totally overweight position in their portfolio. The stock has blown through price targets set by the most bullish analysts and then blown through the revised targets.  I won’t give anybody grief for trimming at these levels, either to lock in some profits or just balance their portfolio allocations.

I've done the same in that I've taken 3X my original investment off the table.

With my remaining 1,000 shares I'm going to let this stock run. I legitimately don't know if PLTR will be the next trillion dollar company or if they fall 80% at the first hint that they won't absolutely destroy on earnings. . . . . or maybe both lol

No I completely agree, I was just being hyperbolic with the 80%

I do think the second we see the growth slow down (coupled with a change in the macro) PLTR gets hit hard, but for the time being it's a powerhouse with more institutional adoption than ever.

PLTR, SOFI, and RKLB are the three stocks I'm convinced will help me retire early. Just wish I hadn't of sold so much PLTR along the way!

I could totally see a drop to $120-$130 on bad macro / missing on earnings but I think it would find a floor around there. I’m not generally a person to get too hung up on P/E but if you’re going to fly that high you have to be perfect. TTD’s price action recently would seem to be an example of such a breakdown.

Anybody else reading Karp’s book The Technological Republic?  I’m about half way through and it’s a good read.

I surely hope that that won't be the case ("back" to 120$ - but it's true that with such stretched price per unit with non existent P/E, abrupt moves are possible in certain contingencies - again, I am in it for the long and for even higher prices per unit - one day!)

I bought the book for my son - he's a reader (big time). He's reading around 11 books currently, hope this one's among them

For some reason, I am thinking you are under 40 years old? I would consider heavily NOT selling much of your investments to take profit and thinking in a 10 year window. Once you are invested, have a "park it" mentally while looking for the next thing and direction. Meanwhile, DCA'ing 401k and Roth etc. Take my graphs, add in a AAPL, PLTR, MSFT, whatever but push it out 10 years. It's wild.

My cost basis for PLTR is under $10 so taking 3X my original investment off the table did not represent a huge portion of my shares. I took some profits at $60 and then more at $120.

I'm a big fan of letting my winners run but PLTR and RKLB do make up a big portion of my portfolio so I'm not above taking profits from time to time.

I'm in my early 40's and I do max out my annual 401k contribution

I got it right next to me!

That was my pool side reading on my last vacation but I made it about half way through.

I did like the premise that Silicon Valley basically decoupled from the betterment of US National security and we've spent the last several decades wasting our resources on trivial shit.

If anything I walked away from what I read thinking Karp has his priorities straight

In such a (even if for just a few days) unknown territory? I think you did good.

You bought the bottom - at least today's bottom. Well done.

It's back up some now - but we've seen almost -10% today as well.
Next week NVDA reports (important) and this Friday Powell's cut or lack of thereof.

Too unstable to do more, imo you did well
