$Meta Platforms, Inc.(META)$ Meta is planning to open-source the weights of its most powerful AI models and launch new ones for consumer devices, which looks like a direct move to compete harder with OpenAI and Anthropic. CEO Mark Zuckerberg mentioned they'll release the weights for the latest Muse Spark 1.2 and introduce the Muse Glimmer family, designed to run directly on laptops and other devices. The strategy seems aimed at strengthening Meta's position in open-weight AI, where Chinese companies like Alibaba, DeepSeek and Moonshot have been gaining ground. Zuckerberg also argued that U.S. restrictions on training data and AI development could end up disadvantaging American open-source models and called for policy changes to help them comp
$Meta Platforms, Inc.(META)$ Short interest on META is only 1.72% of float, and the forward P/E has come down to 19.8x. That looks pretty reasonable. The path of least resistance seems to be higher from here. The move today suggests the market is finally starting to treat Meta's AI spending as a long-term commercial opportunity, not just a sunk cost.
$NEBIUS(NBIS)$ Roughly 61M shares short, which puts short interest around 24-31% of the float. That is a serious bearish position. But those shorts are betting against 684% revenue growth, $1.9B ARR, potential 45% AI Cloud EBITDA margins, and $40B+ of contracted revenue. Meanwhile, $Microsoft(MSFT)$ , $Meta Platforms, Inc.(META)$ and $Alphabet(GOOGL)$ keep pointing to AI demand running ahead of available capacity. I'm not focused only on EPS on August 12. I'm watching ARR, margins, deployments and guidance. With this much short interest, a simple beat may not matter. A beat plus stronger guidance c
$Meta Platforms, Inc.(META)$ They really messed up this earnings report. Spending keeps getting out of control, and no matter what they try, they need to show some return on invested capital or at least demonstrate some spending discipline. Until that happens, I'm buying the dip.
$Netflix(NFLX)$ For anyone saying this is the only one in the red, take a look at $Meta Platforms, Inc.(META)$ , $Amazon.com(AMZN)$ , $Nike(NKE)$ , and CMG. Plenty of names are down. Netflix is actually holding up better than the rest, still in the middle of trying to break its downtrend, and obviously running into resistance. At this point the complaining gets a bit much — maybe just pull yourself together and add more.
Some of the best plays come from stocks that are hated for dumb reasons. Those are the ones that can make the most money. $Meta Platforms, Inc.(META)$ $Reddit(RDDT)$ The worst situations, in my experience, are the names everyone loves and expects to keep climbing. By that point, everyone is already in. $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ $Micron Technology(MU)$
$Meta Platforms, Inc.(META)$ The bounce here is interesting, especially as the market starts paying more attention to the broader cloud opportunity. The stock held its weekly trendline support, which keeps the setup looking constructive. The next level I'm watching is the gap fill around $584 — would like to see buyers stay in control.
$Meta Platforms, Inc.(META)$ AI is making an already dominant ad business even stronger. Better targeting, improved efficiency, and growing monetization mean the cash machine keeps running. That's why I still see this as one of the highest-quality businesses in the market.
$Meta Platforms, Inc.(META)$ I'm expecting to see $650+ again fairly soon. At these levels, funds can't really pass up the kind of pricing we saw recently, which is basically back to where it was in April 2024. Still leaning bullish here.
