NASDAQ 100: $PLTR (-1,95%) and $MSTR (-3,53%) rise $SMCI must go

The US tech stock index NASDAQ is being shaken up. MicroStrategy and Palantir, among others, have opened a new chapter in their stock market history.

- Rebalancing of the NASDAQ 100 takes place

- Palantir and MicroStrategy celebrate inclusion in the NASDAQ 100

- Price gains ahead

The NASDA100 index lists the largest 100 companies from the tech stocks index that are not NASDAQ Composite that do not come from the financial sector. In addition to market capitalization, a strong daily trading volume is also decisive for inclusion in the index. The conditions were met by two stock corporations that were among the biggest investor favorites in 2024.

MicroStrategy and Palantir make it into the index

As the NASDAQ Stock Exchange announced on Friday after the close of trading, software companies MicroStrategy and Palantir have been included in the annual index review. $MSTR (-3,53%) and $PLTR (-1,95%) new members to the renowned stock market index. The adjustments will be implemented from December 23, i.e. one day before Christmas Eve.

It had already become apparent in the last few days that both $PLTR (-1,95%) as well as $MSTR (-3,53%) would make the leap into the NASDAQ 100 index. AI profiteer $PLTR (-1,95%) had topped the list of the largest NASDAQ companies by market capitalization that are not listed in the 100 index by a wide margin. $MSTR (-3,53%) also clearly outperformed most of the companies in question in terms of market capitalization.

Further share price gains ahead?

In the year to date, Palantir shares have already risen by well over 340%, while the largest shareholder at company level, MicroStrategy, has even seen an increase of around 540%. $BTC (-1,99%) -MicroStrategy, the largest shareholder at company level, has even risen by around 540 percent.

The inclusion in the index that has now been announced could further boost the share prices of the companies, because unlike the NASDAQ Composite, there is greater visibility in the more elite NASDAQ-100 stock market segment. The redesign of the index is also forcing ETF and fund providers to update their products and to Aktienkaufto replicate the new index. A look at the history also shows that this is regularly reflected in higher share prices: between 2014 and 2023, 85 companies were included in the NASDAQ 100, and their share prices rose by an average of 17% in the 12-month period following their inclusion, writes "The Motley Fool" with a view to possible share price potential.

Other index movers and shakers

Besides $PLTR (-1,95%) and $MSTR (-3,53%) have also $AXON (+0,13%) made it into the NASDAQ 100 index. Meanwhile, the criteria for remaining in the index were no longer met by $ILMN (+0,1%) , $SMCI and $MRNA (+0,83%) .

Hi Guys,

once again something to brainstorm about. Some people probably find it difficult to make decisions about various share purchases. Maybe sometimes it's not so important when you buy a stock that you find interesting, but when you don't buy it, when not to buy it. Quasi rational hedging of Fomo purchases. Assuming that there is always a growth and investment thesis and factoring out a few bankruptcies, I make the following 2 assertions. There will definitely be pros and cons here:

Assertion 1:

The 200 DMA is the approximate fair value of a stock. It acts like a magnet, stocks that run far above or below it tend to return to the line sooner or later. (shown in the screenshot in gold)

A share that is well above the 200 level becomes unattractive to buy (although you could continue to hold it). (You could still hold it, however, but a "hold" is not included here). The assertion would thus encourage hasty purchases of e.g. $CMG (+0,11%)
$DECK (-0,86%)
$UBER (+0,02%)
$PSTG (+0,46%)
$CRWD (-0,13%)
$AMD (+0,22%)
$AXON (+0,13%) that are on my watchlist. What would I do in the case of Chipotle? I would wait until the stock returns to the 200 DMA.

Assertion 2:

Good times to buy are ALWAYS when the Weekly RSI is below 55 (preferably even below 50) and at the same time still below the average line (marked red in the screenshot)

You almost never hit the low when buying anyway. Nevertheless, you would buy your desired stocks close to the lows with a clear conscience and follow a clear line.

Now one or two people might say "but that's obvious". Then I say, it's not that clear. You only have to look at the Getquin timeline. Stocks with an RSI above 60 or 70 and well above the 200s are regularly requested here and considered good buys.

What do you think?

Does anyone act similarly?

Are the claims bullshit?

Hello Community,

Today I would like to introduce you to a stock category that should divide opinion. We're talking about so-called "sin stocks".

While many focus on ESG, sustainability and the like, there are also investors who look for the exact opposite. I am one of them.

Some people know sin stocks classically from the areas of alcohol, tobacco and gambling. I would like to make it a little more interesting and expand the sin area.

To do this, I'm using the 7 deadly sins of mankind and would like to present some stocks that (can) go hand in hand with them: Pride, Avarice, Lust, Envy, Gluttony, Wrath and Sloth.

First of all, I would like to avoid moral discussions if possible. If you are already catching your breath, please skip this article.

Sin 1: Pride.

He who is to perish first becomes proud, and pride comes before a fall

This includes companies that are active in the luxury segment. For example $RMS (+0%) , $RACE (+0,46%) or the very popular $MC (+0%). In my view, what makes them interesting is that the more luxurious they are, the less dependent they are on the economy. The super-rich hardly mind if there is an economic crisis. They can also achieve exorbitant margins, as the pricing has to correspond to luxury.

Sin 2: Greed

Because greed is the root of all evil

Greed stocks include the financial sector and its shares. For example $JPM (+0,05%) or $DBK (+0%) but also commodity companies such as $XOM (+0,75%)

To be honest, I am less familiar with this sector than with other sectors - the financial industry is generally less interesting due to its lack of transparency.

I find commodity companies more interesting - perhaps even more so "suppliers" such as $NE (+0%) which count as manufacturers of drilling rigs.

Sin 3: Lust

I don't have any shares in this portfolio myself. For a long time I flirted with $RICK (+0%) They are active in the "adult entertainment" sector and run strip clubs. They also run restaurants ("bombshells") where the waitresses' work clothes are made of very little material. However, these bombshells are not that attractive from my point of view, which is why I didn't get involved.

You can certainly also include apps like $GRND can certainly be included here.

Do you have / do you know of any stocks that you would classify here?

Sin 4: Envy

In this category you can put cosmetics stocks like $OR (+0%) or social media stocks like $META (-0,08%) can be counted in this category. My portfolio is also underrepresented here.

Sin 5: Gluttony

Binge drinking and gluttony characterize people who are lost

The classic among the sin stocks. These can include alcohol companies such as $DGE (+0%) tobacco companies like $PM (+0,34%) or fast food companies like $MCD (-0,05%)

Even more blatant would be something like $TSN (-0,01%) as a meat producer.

As tobacco or alcohol (can) be addictive, there is a strong lock-in effect. This is probably why many investors steer clear of such shares.

I see $MNST (-0,36%) as one of the most exciting gluttony stocks. As manufacturers of energy drinks, they remind me a little of tobacco companies, but they are hardly regulated and can advertise freely. Strong growth of the market - and the share.

Sin 6: Anger

The second classic. All stocks in the defense industry can be counted under wrath. A few years ago, they were frowned upon from an ESG perspective, but they are now almost back in vogue. $LMT (+0,03%) , $RTX (-0,25%) or $RHM (+0,41%) should be familiar to most people. They are heavily dependent on government orders and therefore political decisions. However, the trend over the next few years should be upwards.

In my view, an exciting "Zorn" share is $AXON (+0,13%) . This is a supplier to the police, primarily in the USA. For example with bodycams or tasers. I was on the verge of getting in at 90$ - and unfortunately missed it.

Sin 7: Sloth

Don't be lazy when it comes to being diligent

Companies that contribute to inactivity or passivity could be categorized here. First and foremost the gambling industry. I see the most exciting value here in $EVO (-0,97%). One of the stocks with the highest weighting in my portfolio. It is a "supplier" for online casinos. The growth is enormous - the gaming industry is still very much analog. However, the online segment is growing at double-digit rates per year - as is Evolution Gaming. Plus a nice dividend.

Otherwise, you can also make use of various stationary casino operators.

That was my ride through the Sin Stocks.

I would now like to know what exciting sin stocks you have.

And also whether you see any other sin stocks.

By the way, I had the prison operator in my head the whole time $GEO (-0,56%) in my head the whole time - it seems to me to be the final stop for many sins.
