Okay, so everyone’s talking about “buy the dip.” Like it’s some brilliant insight. It’s just… obvious. The market goes down, things get cheaper. It’s not rocket science. Although, frankly, sometimes I suspect the people running these companies are trying to make things as complicated as possible. Just to irritate me, I think.
They say the market recovers. Historically, sure. But “historically” doesn’t pay my bills when my portfolio looks like a dropped ice cream cone. And don’t even get me started on these earnings reports. They’re always worded to be…optimistic. Like, “slightly below expectations” is somehow a good thing. It’s a miss. It’s not a nuanced performance review.
So, fine. If the whole thing goes south – and it always feels like it could – here are a few stocks I wouldn’t immediately run screaming from. Though, honestly, the thought of actively buying more when everything’s falling apart…it just feels wrong. Like picking up pennies in front of a steamroller.
1. Nvidia: The Graphics Card Overlords
Nvidia. Everyone’s obsessed with Nvidia. Five trillion dollar valuation? Come on. It’s a graphics card company. A very successful one, admittedly. They control 92% of the market. Ninety-two percent! That’s… unsettling. It’s like one company deciding what everyone sees on their screens. And the earnings reports? They brag about 62% revenue growth. Sixty-two percent! It’s… excessive. It’s just showing off.
Look, if the market decides Nvidia is overvalued and drags it down a bit, maybe. Just maybe. But don’t expect me to be thrilled about it. It’s still a graphics card company, people!
2. Amazon: The Everything Store (and Its Complicated Logistics)
Amazon. They sell everything. Literally everything. And they missed earnings expectations by a little bit. A little bit. And the market freaked out. Like, a slightly imperfect quarterly report is grounds for a panic sell-off? It’s ridiculous. I ordered a book last week, and the delivery window was three hours wide. Three hours! It’s a book, not a grand piano.
Still, 14% sales increase, 24% growth in AWS… fine. They’re doing something right. If the market overreacts and sends Amazon tumbling, I might consider it. But I’m still annoyed about that delivery window.
3. Alphabet (Google): The Data Collection Giants
GOOG“>
Okay, okay. 15% revenue increase, 32% operating margin… they’re doing well. If the market decides Alphabet is too powerful and knocks it down a few pegs, maybe. But I’m still deeply uncomfortable with how much data they collect.
So, there you have it. Three stocks I wouldn’t immediately avoid if everything goes to pot. But honestly, I’m just hoping the whole thing stabilizes so I can get back to worrying about more important things. Like why my cable bill is always increasing.
