I'm laddering shorter term CDs. I had 2 mature recently. I thought rates might drop for longer term CDs, but they keep going up. The sweet spot is 1-year at 5.4%, but shorter and longer terms aren't much different.

Just some info for the savers.

Everyone post what stock is your biggest individual holding.

I’ll go first.

PYPL as a long term position started over the past year for me.

I know banks, as a banking regulator for a state agency - obviously I am prohibited from owning banks regulated by my state - but that didn't mean I couldn't profit tidily and confidently by making a swing trade in PACW and also buying and holding USB forever at 26.?? a share.

I thought about Paypal, but ultimately decided the lack of moat and numerous alternative payment platforms - and perhaps more specifically, Apple pay and bank-related products such as Zelle which are infinitely more convenient in my view. I do think it will be fine now that it is far more appropriately priced than it was historically. A fairly tame gamble, if you will.

Oh but my biggest holding is actually a tiny little canadian company that manufactures aerospace parts. I am counting on a significant bounceback in cash flows following the roller coaster ride in airplane manufacturing rates. Also the company will never trade for what its worth, so literally just a cash flow drip forever type investment. I think they had EBITDA of 250MM canadian with pre-covid but their market cap has ranged around 300MM to 450MM post-covid. Precious little debt, tangible book well above their market cap, and while they don't possess a strong moat since they do fairly commoditized manufacturing, it kinda seemed like a long-term no brainer even if the cash flow has taken forever to bounce back.

My biggest is probably still Google, but Nvidia is really close. Or maybe even the top now.

As a buy and hold guy in general, it's probably no surprise that my biggest holdings are Google, Nvidia, Microsoft, and Amazon. Right now, I've got as much in CDs as those four stocks combined, though.

Great blue chips with those.

My biggest are Paypal, Amazon, Google and United Wholesale Mortgage (UWMC).

I need to start taking some wins and move more conservative, but this year has been a good year to have the tech stocks, so I keep letting them ride.

I'm retired so I don't buy individual stocks. That being said I would have bought Capital One when Buffet bought.

I'm a customer and huge fan of Capital One. They offer great service and rates for their customers.

COF was about $91 when Buffet announced his big buy and it's been between $110‐$120 lately.

Netflix is my #1. Bought a small position about 20 years ago. With the exception of selling off some to purchase a car a few years ago, I've held the entire time.

LLY is crushing, $500 per share this morning.

That tells us all we need to know.

I got into the Netflix game late, and I'm actually down a little bit on it.

Honestchieffan is having a really good day today.

I have a small amount of LLY based on his recommendation a while back. I've got a pretty decent sized holding in nvo, which has been a great stock for me, and it's having the same bump today. Weight loss drugs got some good news today.
