I was a software engineer at Oscar $OSCR for 4.5 years 2017 - 2021 (after the IPO). Most of my coworkers sold their shares, I've held mine through it all. The fact this is becoming a retail meme stock is the best thing that's ever happened to my net worth. Simulation is real.

$INTC is down 30% today, but the real question is why was it up so much in the first place?

Update 16 months later... $OSCR Up another 60% since this post, still haven't sold a single share. Life is good, the simulation keeps simming, I keep stimming. Most can't handle the volatility... I embrace it. Beat to your own drum, ignore the crowds. Net worth go brrrr

X says the market is down but my portfolio says otherwise 🤓 $AEM gold mining stock +6.0% $GTLB SaaS stock +5.2% If you don't chase hype stocks and copy other people's ideas, you can achieve outlier performance. Don't follow the pack.

I'm a Product Engineer at Posthog working on AI products and MCP. Here is a quick free demo I presented at an event recently. It shows how our self-driving agentic data pipeline & autonomous agents beat me to my own bug. It was honestly rude. Oh and there's memes... ⬇️

posthog.github.io/presentati… There's a 6 minute video recording you can watch at 1.5-2x speed, or a 2 min read. I was not a good 2026+ engineer here, I was stuck in pre-2026 engineering. Then got slapped by self-driving agents. Would love feedback from engineers on this!

$GTLB crushing it. I was 💩 on X when I was aggressively buying this stock March - May. Now I'm up 138% in a few months. The proof is in the receipts, now I just sit back and let is cook. Honorable mention: Same with $ABNB, funny how my controversial picks have been right.

My stock portfolio has been hitting all time highs for months now. Most people have doubted me on these... First $OSCR rockets from ~14/15 to $30+ Then $GTLB doubles from low 20s to over $40 a share $ABNB FINALLY got some respect going from 125-140 range to $180+! It was about time... one of the largest moats, innovating/founder led, and buying back 2-3% of the float a year with with very high FCF margin AND consistent growth in all key and emerging markets. I'm hyped I kept my strong conviction here And a shout-out to $AMZN $MSFT and $GOOGL too. Lets go! – at Brooklyn, NY

Needless to say in VERY happy I've been aggressively buying $ABNB for the past few years. Also I almost 2x'd my money on my big $GTLB play when I was screaming about the stock when it hit low 20s. I'm not as flash or good at social media posting like others on this app, but my results after 7 years of investing are starting to really show. I'll keep sharing my opinions on stocks, for free, because I'm a bit stock nerd. It's as simple as that. – at City of London, London
What stock have you bought the most frequently? For me, it's $ABNB. Every green dot is a BUY. For the past 3+ years I have been heavily accumulating shares. Respectable KPI & fundamentals growth, strong share buybacks, founder-led, consistent product innovation. No sells.

Due to $AMZN's continued OCF growth of 40% this Q, its valuation score on Stock Unlock remains excellent. The business has now been compounding much faster than the stock for quite some time. You know what I think that means.

This aged well – at Surf City, NJ
If you're a value investor, $AMZN is such an obvious buy under $230 a share. This company is priced as if it's about to stop growing and payout a dividend from profits. Newsflash: A cloud compute leader, shipping/logistics robotics leader, and a custom working hardware chip.

Hotspots are awesome. Someone did walk past me and said with a laugh to not bring work to the beach... I just smiled back with no words. Little do they know this isn't work, it's a way of life 👽🦔 – at Surf City, NJ

Long term bullish $ABNB Travel is not going away, and AI will make people travel more. Everyone needs a place to stay. Airbnb will (continue to) capture a lot of the nightly stay and experiences demand. Marketplace moats are awesome. – at Surf City, NJ
July 23, 2026, was the busiest day for commercial air travel ever, according to data from @flightradar24. A whopping 153,359 commercial flights were tracked worldwide.

$NFLX officially has an excellent valuation score on Stock Unlock again. The last time this happened was in October of 2023, at $35 per share. It looks like low expectations are priced in before earnings today.
