Recent news signals regarding Meta Platforms indicate a surge in search interest for “meta stock.” Notably, the company recently reported strong Q4 earnings and revenue that beat Wall Street forecasts, prompting investors to reassess its market potential. This positive financial performance likely fueled curiosity and led to an increase in searches as stakeholders and potential investors sought further information about the stock’s prospects.
In contrast, news from other tech giants, such as Microsoft’s stock dropping due to concerns over slowing cloud growth, highlights a wider industry context that may enhance interest in more stable or promising stocks like Meta. Investors may be looking to pivot towards companies demonstrating strong earnings, thus further elevating search volumes for Meta.
Additionally, a prominent investor’s endorsement of Meta as “The Next Big Thing” signifies a growing bullish sentiment around the stock. Such endorsements often attract attention from both seasoned investors and market newcomers, creating heightened search activity as individuals investigate the reasons behind such optimism.

I don’t think value investing applies to commodities the same way it does to stocks. Commodities don’t produce cashflow and are really tough to price. Especially gold which trades heavily on people’s feelings. I won’t tell you whether you should or shouldn’t buy gold or silver. I will say that it should be a small percentage of your portfolio and is tough to argue for

IDK, I honestly wish I invested in NEM sooner than I did, and I really don’t have an excuse either. I went to an undergraduate college that was really strong in mining and one of our alumni is one of the former CEOs of Goldcorp. At one point I was given the task of cold calling alum about donating to a specific project, and their name was on my list. Surprisingly they actually answered and we had a really good talk about the industry, I got a donation, and all said and done. 10 years later and I’m kicking myself for not purchasing equity in them.

Since 4/2025, it was obvious commodities will skyrocket and mining stocks were still priced according to 2023-2024 prices. After Trump went haywire, China started hoarding even more gold, as expected…
Z
That has literally nothing to do with value investing.
P
Value is value. Deep value a few months ago
N
I don’t know the context of your previous post, but for you to convince others of any “obvious” recommendation, you would require a combination of charismatic copy and high quality analytic evidence. The analytic evidence and writing copy also needs to be higher quality the less the audience knows about the topic.

They hated him because he spoke the truth. Everyone in this subReddit jerked themselves off over how United healthcare has to be worth $2 trillion and it’s a deep value play that the government won’t let fail. Newsflash the government props up zombie companies all the time. Metals were so obvious to anyone who really looks for value

To me, it’s just a simple matter of reading the room. You don’t post about individual stocks in the Bogleheads forum, you don’t post about gold in a value investing for them, and you don’t tug on Superman’s cape. Commodities are completely different animal than a value stock. They really have nothing in common. There are different asset class, and they work in much different ways. Personally I am a small holder of gold, wishing I had more right now, but I would never feel the need to post about gold in a sub like this. Apples and oranges my friend
A
True, but there were gold stocks trading at 15-20 PE ratios when historically they were around 30-40.
W
look at META stock after hours
B
But then you would have to own META. I’d rather be poor.
S
I honestly haven’t used a Meta product since 2017. I’ve read that the enshittification, bad when I had accounts, has grown much worse since. My impression of the company is its a cash cow that’s hit global penetration limits, and Zuck will never invest the cash wisely.
W
I think instagram has gotten better lately and fb has gotten worse
T
How on earth has FB gotten worse ‘lately’, it’s been an uninterrupted stream of AI shit for like two full years, and it was where our parents went to repost spam pages a full decade prior to that
W
i watch reels everyday would be more embarrassing to not own it
Z
A guilty pleasure is watching reels with my step kid. But I can pitch it to myself as us bonding, not watching junk. 😅
P
Basically this subreddit in a nutshell. People are into virtue signalling and “voting with their money” Than actually making money
B
What a sad state of affairs that virtue doesn’t actually exist to people as a thing to aspire to, but instead exists only as some signal for clout. Says everything about you. Nothing about me. Project onto someone else.
A
It’s still negative since it was being recommended here.
W
not true, it was mostly recommended when it was in 600-650 range
M
Yeah I never saw META in this sub until it went down to about 670.
W
Okay genius comeback 5 years from now. We aren’t focused on short term speculative gains.
S
same with MU, SNDK, STX, idk how they keep spamming the “it’s cyclical” & “it’s ATH” while losing on all the gains if they invested…
N
This sub is about value investing. If you’re a sentiment trader, trying to exploit the market for a quick flip then that’s something different
P
This sub is no different than Cramer. Just do the opposite of the sentiment and start making money.
C
I’ve increased my small MU position after taking profit in other stock. In 1 month 40% — it will keep growing. The shortage in memory is crazy. Just speak with people working in industry. Best purchase personally is SNDK a year ago.
M
You don’t get it, gold and silver don’t produce cash flow, Warren said that 60 years ago. It doesn’t matter if they double or triple or even 10x your money over 5-10 years. What matters is cash flow, it’s the center of the galaxies.
C
With that logic bitcoin goes up even faster. Buy bitcoin in fact fartcoin had pretty good times too so it must be a good investment.
A
So, are you saying silver wasn’t value investing a couple of years ago? It was ridiculously cheap. I mean you paid 1oz pure silver coin for a fucking dinner lol.
D
He’s /s-ing
A
Oh, I didn’t read the last sentence lol
Z
Yes, he’s saying exactly that. Silver a couple years ago, even decades ago was not a value investment then or now.
N
That’s the annoying thing about reddit. Reminds me of stackoverflow responders. It’ll be interesting to see how AI takes our answers in the future.
P
lol
F
Just wait till the weak hand start folding on metals
A
Weak hand… You mean China? lol
F
I just mean there is a lot of leverage in the pm’s market
A
There’s also a lot of downward motion in the USD
J
This sub should hate treasuries more often🤷♂️
A
True, it was my first time investing last year. I came here to ask for advice and put 20% Gold of my portfolio and the cult of this sub group downvoted and ridiculed me. “Gold doesn’t generate growth”, which is true, but at the end of the day it’s supply and demand, people always rush to buy gold, even the poor, which even pushes the prices higher
A
Sometimes, buying the “simplest” thing as an investment seems like the most logical option for a lot of people. Especially in bad economic times. People here overthink stuff.
A
By now, I’ve realized that nobody really knows anything. Everyone acts like they have all the answers, but they’re almost always wrong. That’s why I stopped listening to people haha.
C
I thought this subreddit would be a place to find like minded people
F
Commodity companies and PE ratios are Opposite Day. Buy high PE ratio and sell low. When the PE ratio is high it means the earnings are low because the commodity is in a slump.
A
Have you ever heard about mining stocks?
J
Obviously now Gold was a good investment. I feel like it’s tough to make it a “value investment” because it’s a non productive asset and you can’t apply any value investing analysis to it like you can to companies.
V
To be clear, Google is mostly flat?
A
It’s up like 10-15% while there are lots of stocks that are up 50-100%
C
Having red stocks for the last couple of months is a good thing for value investing. You want stocks to go down also stocks going down for months doesn’t indicate anything. The value of stocks shows itself in years. As for commodities, commodities do not have cashflows so there is nothing to analyze. For cyclical/commodity stocks they are too susceptible to politics and can be unpredictable. You cannot make a coherent thesis without knowing the future price of commodities which is unpredictable. If you think you can find a stock that the price of gold or any other miner isn’t priced into the stock go ahead. But it’s almost certainly not Buffett/Munger philosophy of investing. So idk why it would be mentioned here.
V
Right now critical minerals are tanking in after hours because of a news article about price floors maybe not happening. Sector wide panic selling isn’t indicative of value stocks.
