r/Stocks Daily Discussion Monday - Mar 02, 2026

[+20] u/TonyAngelinoOFAH: All that doom and gloom all weekend and there is hardly even a dip..... This market isn't crashing over Iran. [+13] u/SvV_Ying: I was promised blood red? [+13] u/reaper527: is it so much to ask that you fix these daily threads? (both the broken formatting with all the escape characters, and the fact it posts WELL after market open)? you insist you're not absentee landlords, but this has been brought up many times and still hasn't been fixed. [+12] u/joe4942: lmao, might even close green. [+12] u/fiskxhero: Seems like taking out the enemies whole executive branch a couple of hours into the operation was indeed bullish [+7] u/jigglyjohnson13: War is the catalyst this market needed to reach all time highs. stocks climb the wall of worry! [+7] u/BillsBowlBoundBaby: There's such a thing as good turmoil and bad turmoil. In theory the opportunity for the 2nd largest oil producer on earth with an educated population to reclaim their freedom/country and rejoin the 21st century and global economy should boost economic confidence even if there's some tumult to get there [+6] u/IBangTokyoWife: *Nothing ever happens* wojak [+6] u/NotGucci: Could be WW3 and market would still be green. [+6] u/jrex035: People are likely severely underestimating how long and costly this war will be. The previous strikes on Iran under Trump just targeted their nuclear facilities and ballistic missile launch vehicles. The operation in Venezuela just nabbed Maduro. Both ended as quickly as they began. But this operation? They baited the Iranians into nuclear talks before killing most of their leadership, including the Ayatollah, in a decapitation strike. This makes it far less likely for the Iranians to seek out or trust future efforts at diplomacy. That the Trump administration apparently put all their hopes on the war ending simply because they killed the Ayatollah is exactly the problem. There's a *chance* that the Iranian regime will be toppled by the people and a chance they'll surrender to end the conflict. But chances are better that they won't and they'll continue rallying forces including allied and proxy forces in Yemen, Iraq, Lebanon and beyond, launching strikes on US and allied assets across the region, and potentially even launching terrorist attacks in the US. It's possible that a mass shooting at a bar in Texas over the weekend was a terrorist attack related to the war. If this war doesn't end over the next few days the impact on the global economy and ME stability could be utterly disastrous. You think inflation was bad now, see what happens if oil and gas prices skyrocket from sustained attacks on infrastructure in the region. [+5] u/Apprehensive_Law7629: In all this mess dollar is almost +1% on euro. Gonna be a huge green day in Europe 🥲 [+5] u/drew-gen-x: A reminder that BTD on stocks above & below their 200 DMA work very differently. BTD on stocks with positive momentum above their 200 DMA is a very good buying strategy. BTD on stocks w/o momentum below their 200 DMA is what people call a value trap and is a very poor buying strategy. And it gets even worse once stocks break below their 200 WMA. [+5] u/IBangTokyoWife: Added to APH ANET USLM LPLA today [+5] u/drew-gen-x: I did alot of buying this morning. No US stocks, all foreign ETF's. Bought $ACWX, $EWY, and $EWJ. I don't think foreign cash is in a huge ass hurry to BTD in USA assets at this point & time. [+19] u/AlasKansastan: What the fuck is going on with this market man. Every time we get momentum some big orange turd shits his pants all over people [+11] u/InvestigatorPlus3229: Seems the war was already priced in. [+10] u/Much_Candle_942: Yay.. I got "Top Commenter" award 🏆  I am grateful to my parents, God, and all those who helped me, encouraged me to increase my typing speed and sharpen my analytical mind that gives insightful wisdom. [+10] u/Dazzling-Compote-394: Seeing futures in the red is almost laughable at this point because it's guaranteed that by the end of the next trading day we end green anyway. The market wants to correct but the puppet master's behind the curtains keep rescuing it on right on cue every time. How many morning/midday bounces have we had now where markets explode into the green? Wouldn't surprise me if the pedo in chief has some influence over the big boys and has given them orders under the table to keep the market afloat for the midterm year. [+8] u/InvestigatorPlus3229: no luck for iran, if the market had dropped 2% today the war woulda been over tomorrow. [+8] u/FistEnergy: guess I'll continue to DCA into Berkshire. Sigh [+8] u/selesnyaTroll: Trump team - We have a program to mitigate energy costs due to the war that we will implement starting tomorrow. Now, what does that mean you ask? No one knows lmao [+7] u/Direct_Remove509: How many times have we seen futures deep in red and we end the day green. Similarly vice versa futures deep in green and we end the day red. Just enjoy the ride and buy the dip when it happens, in this case the dip was very short lived. [+6] u/Detonate-Ralph: There are funds obviously holding oil prices down. If the war keeps going on it's bound to explode. [+6] u/DronesAreCooll: Not bad at all to be honest, last night it was dropping like a rock but opened green today... mainly just my ONDS stock blowing up 17% though [+6] u/NoobOnTour: Man there is one day in the whole month the Americans aren't selling... And then the Asians do it. [+6] u/Investingforlife: Lol my whole portfolio getting absolutely decimated. High beta, low beta [+6] u/West_Technology7573: I’m tired of winning Donald [+5] u/More_Ebb3477: I expected the Nasdaq to pull back due to rising oil prices. With CL1! hitting 71 and Brent reaching 77, I thought a CPI spike would lead the Fed to hike rates. However, since the opening bell, the market has been distinctly bullish, which is quite confusing as a total novice in this market i am still trying to wrap my head around these moves [+5] u/InvestigatorPlus3229: Flight to safety now involves selling us bonds [+5] u/RabidGuillotine: Reminder that the only fundamental that matters is firepower. [+5] u/sNeKbIt99: Raymond James downgrades AVAV... drops it from up 17% today to down 15%. The manip is real. [+5] u/Gorgenapper: And we're back to green [+5] u/creemeeseason: A few thoughts on some holdings I've mentioned on here before.... ODD. So I sold my shares and used a small portion to buy Jan 2027 OTM calls. The stock is priced for failure and if management salvages anything in the next few quarters, there's upside. Wouldn't rule out an acquisition bid in the interim. If I'm wrong, I lose a few more bucks. However, I think the company will rightly trade at a low multiple for awhile. If they're at this much risk from an algo change, it's warranted. If it's really promising come next year I can always act on a few of my options to buy some shares. UFPT. One of my longest holdings and personal favorite companies. However, their organic growth has dramatically declined and they're becoming more and more dependent on acquisition. Not that that is bad, it just changes the nature of the company. 15x EBITDA is kinda a standard for that type of company and that's right where the company is trading. So, I'm not sure how much upside there is left. That's what the market has been reflecting since earnings. I'm still holding as of now, but I might consider trimming/selling for some options that appear to offer better returns. ABX. Man, I can't wait for earnings here. MIAX. Absolutely destroyed earnings last week, but got very little response. I think it's too new to get momentum, but I added a few more shares around $40 last week. It's not often a new stock exchange gets listed. [+5] u/Charming_Squirrel_13: reddit finance overreacted! what a surprise! [+5] u/iamatoad_ama: Where’s the dip I was promised?!?? [+5] u/x992607: Glad I pulled out of $VG after suffering a 50% loss at the end of prev year. [+5] u/Zealousideal-Bus4712: 10 year yield SURGING up 12 bps so far today. [+5] u/_hiddenscout: CRDO is so interesting. They pre announced and pumped, then announced today to tank. At like sub 100, wonder what point this start making sense to buy.
