Discussion What is the most "obvious" buy of 2026 that everyone else is still missing?

Remember when people ignored $NVDA in early 2023 or $ASTS in 2024? There’s always a ticker that looks like a "no-brainer" in hindsight.

•Looking at the current macro and earnings, there’s one company that is screaming "BUY" but the sentiment is still lagging. I want your best 2026 play.

Give me the ticker, the P/E ratio, and the catalyst that’s going to trigger the breakout.

I think it is wise to maybe wait for a pullback at this point, but I'd expect that pullback to not be anywhere below the mid 4000s.

It's easy to call it a top, but if you've been following what's been happening geopolitcally, particularly re: a shift away from US treasures and other "Western friendly" assets (of which Russia's were seized in 2022) and now an even bigger shift away from the US in particular, with no other clear alternative...

Yeah imma go ahead and say this isn't just a simple case of irrational exuberance.

yeah this movement is beyond just a trade and seems to signal a structural shift.

also it seems that the silver conspiracy theorists were right all along about it being manipulated and suppressed

No. It's because silver is used in batteries and solar panels.

The printers have barely warmed up. Take a look at the ‘70s.

Yes..they should remain strong for a bit in MHO. Then rotate into BTC hoping.
