Additional terms apply with the Mag 7 being which 2 outside of Apple and Microsoft would you consider to invest in that and and at what price?
Financial Analyst 2
Number one, let's go with Meta. Shout out to Zuckerberg and every brand. The onesie at the wife's party was crazy, but kudos to love. I like meta@538.46. Elon, you got to go get you a little Black Lives Matter hoodie or something and do a rebrand like that.
Financial Analyst 1
At what price?
Financial Analyst 2
At 538.46 and then I like Tesla at 190 29. Tesla needs a whole rebrand and Eli needs to. I know he won't, but he needs to get off this Kanye train. So they've had the deepest fall of the Max seven. You know it's bad when Germany said they're done buying Teslas and part of that movement started in Germany. It's tough. Like you cannot offend a worldwide audience with your neo Nazi favoritism. So but at 190 29, I think there's some incredible value there. I don't know how long the company will thrive given his leanings over the last four or five months. But 19029 is the price that I like Tesla for. All of you who'll be like, yo, what happened? You all giving prices on market joint stock club?
Financial Analyst 1
But so you say like, so what about Tesla? What makes Tesla something that you like?
Financial Analyst 2
Yo, I'm just giving the two hours because they're gonna be like, well, you always do Apple or Microsoft. I'm not pro mega or, or pro racism. Clearly I'm a black man in the United States of America. And they've had the deepest decline, I think from the high through this fall. I think they've fallen 51.
Financial Analyst 3
Yeah.
Financial Analyst 2
They have the highest probability of.
Financial Analyst 3
But you said 120. You said 129, right?
Financial Analyst 2
190 29.
Financial Analyst 3
Oh, 190 29. All right. Yeah. Okay.
Financial Analyst 2
Yeah. 129 would be crazy.
Financial Analyst 3
Yeah. I'm like, damn, that's a hell of a full.
Financial Analyst 1
So do you think that is going to get hurt by the administration's anti EV policies?
Financial Analyst 2
For sure.
Financial Analyst 1
And tariffs. And tariffs.
Financial Analyst 3
What? I mean the, the guy didn't. They put the, the cyber truck and the model S in front of the White House over there.
Financial Analyst 2
Richard Nixon would never. Mitt Romney would have never. George W. Bush wouldn't.
Financial Analyst 3
What?
Financial Analyst 2
We turned the White House into a damn car show.
Financial Analyst 3
That was crazy.
Financial Analyst 2
I've said this from the very beginning. I give it 18 months. So what? We got 15 months left to that relationship is good. And I said it before a couple years ago, I think it was a mistake from them to leave that luxury brand to go to pricing for all profit margin. Word of the week matters a lot. And when people are underwater in those loans for the car and now you have dealerships being vandalized because of racist sentiments by white people, which is fascinating to see as they won't do well for the stock market. So whenever you're running a publicly traded company, it helps a lot to not add weaknesses and threats to that SWOT analysis. And he's doing that, it seems like every month. Is there value there? Yes. Would they be as dominant as they used to be? I don't think so. I don't think the appeal is there anymore. But I won 90 29. I like it.
Financial Analyst 3
I like it a lot. You got two. I had Meta, so I'll switch it up. I always throw an extra one just in case you say it. But I, I like Meta. I mean you didn't say Nvidia, but I feel like that's kind of the obvious. Right. It actually got. It got to a point where I was like, I gotta grab it. It got down to 107 was my number. It got down to 105. So we grabbed some shares there. Obviously we saw a shoot up. Big week for them with GTC happening this week. Big announcements. And then Thursday they got the the big Quantum day. So that. That should be one of those callous events. We'll see how the market moves. This isn't a Mag 7, but it should be, I think when they reclassify this thing. I know. China has now dubbed their. Their stocks the Fab Four with Alibaba ten Cent.
Financial Analyst 2
Sounds familiar. Yeah.
Financial Analyst 3
Yeah, they're Fab Four. I'm gonna put Netflix in there. I'm gonna put Netflix. It actually got down to a price. I wanted to see it get down to like 8:53. It got down to 870, so we grabbed some shares there. I mean, upgrade after upgrade. We saw what it's doing in time in terms of live events. Shout out to the Netflix family.
Financial Analyst 2
Yeah, I was like, hey, y'all invited.
Financial Analyst 3
Us to Monday Night Raw. We got to see live events in person. State of the art. Just a classy, classy service. I mean, it was incredible. And the Netflix team took care of us. I'm not just saying it. We actually witnessed it, but you saw what happened during the Super Bowl. You saw what happened with the NFL and deals with them. ESPN is now about to lose UFC because Netflix potentially could come in. I like Netflix long term. I like them short term, too. That pullback that they just had, you know, they ran up to over a thousand. Got down to 870. I think it was a great grab at 870. I took some shares there. So those would be my 2.
Financial Analyst 2
Wait, UFC is going to do the pay per view events through Netflix?
Financial Analyst 3
There's some talks. There's some talks. There's some talks. Talks. Just talks.
Financial Analyst 2
Oh, my God. Well, I'm a smart TKO group. Aria manual. I'll see you.
Financial Analyst 3
TKO has been going crazy. Like, if you watch that since I believe when. When Dwayne Johnson and the Rock is one of these guys is just like a sleeper. You look what he's done inside the spirits world now, what he's doing inside as an advisor for tko. That stock has been moving on up and up. Yeah, it's one of those sleepers. But, yeah, man, we got to see it firsthand. It was like, all right, I get it, I get it. This is something. This is really something.

Skipping over the usual advertisements, the discussion zeroes in on strategic investment choices beyond the well-trodden paths of Apple and Microsoft. Here's a detailed breakdown of the episode's key points, insights, and conclusions.
The episode kicks off with Financial Analyst 1 posing a critical question to the team:
Analyst 1 [00:57]: "With the Mag 7 being which, 2 outside of Apple and Microsoft would you consider to invest in that and at what price?"
This sets the stage for a focused analysis on alternative high-potential stocks within the broader market "Mag 7" group.
Financial Analyst 2 champions Meta as the first standout investment choice:
Analyst 2 [01:12]: "Number one, let's go with Meta. Shout out to Zuckerberg and every brand. The onesie at the wife's party was crazy, but kudos to love."
Despite some recent controversies surrounding leadership decisions and public relations missteps, Meta's underlying value remains compelling. Analyst 2 highlights the stock price target:
Analyst 2 [01:33]: "At 538.46, and then I like Tesla at 19029."
The discussion underscores Meta's substantial decline—a 51% drop from its high—positioning it as an attractive buy for investors looking to capitalize on a rebound.
Transitioning to the second investment, Analyst 2 shifts focus to Tesla, advocating for its long-term potential despite current hurdles:
Analyst 2 [03:16]: "I like Tesla for 19029."
The conversation delves into the impact of CEO Elon Musk's actions and public persona on Tesla's stock performance:
Analyst 2 [03:23]: "They've had the deepest decline... You know it's bad when Germany said they're done buying Teslas."
Concerns about administrative policies affecting the electric vehicle (EV) sector and potential tariffs are also discussed, highlighting the volatile environment in which Tesla operates.
Analyst 1 and Analyst 3 engage in a dialogue about the broader economic and political factors that could impact these investments:
Analyst 1 [03:11]: "Do you think that is going to get hurt by the administration's anti EV policies?"
Analyst 2 [03:24]: "For sure."
They explore how governmental policies, such as tariffs and regulations, might pose challenges to Tesla's growth trajectory and overall market performance.
While Meta and Tesla are the primary focuses, the analysts briefly touch upon other significant players in the market:
Nvidia is mentioned as an "obvious" choice for investment, especially given its advancements and events like GTC (GPU Technology Conference) and Quantum Day that could drive stock performance.
Netflix receives attention for its strategic moves, including potential deals with major sports entities like the NFL and UFC. Analyst 3 shares personal experiences attending live events organized by Netflix, reinforcing the company's commitment to growth and innovation.
Analyst 3 [05:29]: "I like Netflix long term. I like them short term, too. That pullback that they just had, you know, they ran up to over a thousand. Got down to 870. I think it was a great grab at 870."
Throughout the episode, the analysts emphasize the importance of timing and market conditions when selecting investments. Analyst 2's repeated emphasis on specific price points underscores a strategic approach to buying undervalued stocks poised for growth.
Analyst 2 [03:03]: "At 19029 is the price that I like Tesla for."
Moreover, the discussion highlights the necessity of considering both a company's intrinsic value and external factors that could influence its market performance. The analysts advocate for a balanced view that weighs potential risks against projected growth, ensuring informed investment decisions.
Wrapping up the discussion, the analysts reiterate their confidence in Meta and Tesla as top investment picks, despite the challenges these companies face. Their insights provide listeners with a nuanced understanding of current market dynamics, encouraging them to look beyond conventional choices and consider companies with strong potential for resurgence and growth.
