[Earn Your Leisure Host]

What's the best research tools to follow for people that want to, you know, learn about investing?

[Earn Your Leisure Co-host]

If you want to know how to follow the money, it's three sites that I love. One is Fintel I.O. no relationship, no affiliate anything, just Fintel I.O. and go to Institutional Ownership. It's one of my favorite sites to see where big money is going. Number two is money flows dot Com. And then number three is old school value dot com. So those three are the three that I look at every week to see where the big money is flowing in and out of. So when you talk about circular investment and sector rotation, you can start to see where the money is flowing there first by using those three in tandem.

I'll give three. Eylu, please bear with me. I know, like, this is something we've been using. Investors Business Daily is an incredible site. Use that every single day. Seeking Alpha Barons, Wall Street Journal, Estimize, and there's a few others, but I won't give those away just yet.

But that is.

That is. That is a good core right there. Follow the money. Follow the money. Yeah.

[Earn Your Leisure Host]

And then I'll give and. Because what we're not going to do is act like we haven't already. Like we never. We're not gonna play this game. The book is called you deserve to be rich. The show is called Earn your leisure and is also called Market Mondays. The institutions, if you want to be part of a community, is called Red Panda EY University. We're not gonna act like we haven't already created the answer. The answer. The answer. There's a time to be modest. What we're not. What we're not going to do is look past the solutions that we've already curated.

[Earn Your Leisure Co-host]

Yep.

Talk to him. Yeah, talk to him.

[Earn Your Leisure Host]

Battle of the best.

[Earn Your Leisure Co-host]

What we got? Let's run it down. All right, well, I'll run it down for you, Ian. And this is.

[Joel and Matt (How To Money)]

This is tough.

[Earn Your Leisure Co-host]

And maybe we all go back and forth with it really quickly. We got the battle of the best. Micron versus Palantir. Who you got?

I'm going with Micron for sure. Not only for political reasons and spiritual reasons, but just pure return. I'm leaning on Micron. What about you?

I think it's safe to say that I'm gonna go with Micron. I see some people in the chat saying that they wish they invested more in Micron. I'm still there. Murmur is still going to be a story. We're not done yet with Micron. I'm going with Micron. Okay, let's. Let's go. AMD versus Intel. I think. I think I got a fair understanding here. What you got?

I know AMD has had a precipitous increase the last 8 weeks. Even despite that 13 drop last week. I won't rail on intel as much as I used to. I still don't think there's a quality company. Even if Trump and Baron Jr will benefit from it. I'm definitely going amd.

This is interesting because when you're watching a company actually appreciate like we saw intel do from being at 27 now, I think got up to 50 and you understand that the government is investing in it, but you still know down, like deep down, like the core principles of it, it's just not really good. Which is why you saw them drop 15%. AMD has been in the portfolio from the beginning. It will remain in the portfolio. We got a bunch of calls on that. I'm going amd. Let's do this one. Generac versus Seagate. Seagate's an interesting one. We talked about that in the memory space. Who you got?

This is tough. I like both, but I'm a lean on Seagate. I think the memory story is too big and this is such a well run company that is like a hidden gem. I'm going to go with Seagate. What do you guys think? And what do you guys think in chat?

I'm with you on Seagate. I feel like, you know, when we were talking about this for the past two years about memory and memory, we were early and like it felt like it was a thing that our community was really like locked in on and focusing on. And now I see it everywhere. I see it on Instagram, I see it on cnbc. I feel like everybody knows that this is happening. So I'm, I'm curious to watch how the space moves. I don't know if we're gonna have those, you know, those quick run ups that we've seen in Seagate and in Western Digital. Sandis another one micron. So I'm interested to see what happens here. I know they got earnings come up. We'll talk about that. But I'm still going with Seagate here.

Okay.

All right, we got one more ticker on DS versus N Bis. Is that Nibius?

Yeah, Nibius. Yeah, I got a copy out for this one.

Yeah, go ahead, Go ahead.

Yeah, I like Nibbius in this matchup, but only if I can get it at $25.64. Like it has to be price specific. The other ones I would be fine dollar cost averaging. But Nibius, I have to get at this particular price to be okay with it. But I have them as a winner of this one.

All right. Nibius or Core weave. Same space.

That's a great. That's a.

It's a wild card.

Both are price dependent. Yeah, both are price dependent. I would have to get core weave at stock club. Don't kill me. Well, you probably shouldn't care because it's not in my.

All right, I'll give context to it. Nibius signed a deal with Meta about three months ago to. To provide sort of that. That. That data for companies. The same way that Core Weave has worked with Nvidia. And Nvidia actually owns a percentage of Core Weave and provides it with his GPUs. So similar spaces, similar functions. I. I guess it comes down to preference at this point, right?

Yeah. I would have to get a 6893. If I can get a 6893. Yeah, they're washing them, of course, because of the. The added incentive of the Nvidia investment. Do I think they'll shoot back up to that 187 price anytime soon? No, but if I can get it at 68.93, I can pretty much guarantee by the summertime it should be at 140. I'd be happy with that return on investment.
