everyone says to buy businesses you understand, but when earnings miss or the stock drops 20%, that idea gets tested pretty quickly.
what's one company you'd still feel comfortable holding after a rough quarter, and what gives you that confidence?
Hey everyone,
32M here and pretty new to investing.
I can invest around €400 per month and I’m looking for some ideas on stocks to research for the long term.
To give a bit of background, investing was never really an option for me before. My father passed away a few years ago, and since then I’ve been supporting my family financially. I had loans to pay off, helped take care of my mother, and supported my younger sibling through university. Because of all that, I never really had money left over to save or invest.
Now that the loans are finally paid off and things are a bit more stable, I’ve decided it’s time to start investing and building something for my future.
I’ve been doing my own research and learning as much as I can, but one thing I really like about this community is that people often mention companies I’ve never heard of before. Some of them turn out to be really interesting once I start digging into them.
So I thought I’d ask: what are some stocks you think are worth looking into for a 10 - 15+ year hold?
Not looking for get rich quick plays just companies with strong long-term potential that I can research further.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
I'm not here to recommend stock codes or chase the day's top gainers. I simply want to thank those who have helped me and share some stock selection methods and strategies I've gradually developed through trading.
Most of the time, I'm screening for undervalued stocks with low free float and currently overlooked by the market. Rather than chasing hot topics or sentiment-driven rallies, I prefer waiting for confirmation signals.
I pay particular attention to the stability of multi-stage trends, such as how prices behave around the 5-day, 13-day, 34-day, and 55-day moving averages, as well as changes in trading volume and liquidity. I assess trend quality by analyzing moving average structure, price stability, and volume-price relationships, and identify trend-following trading opportunities during the evolution of multi-stage trends.
This is only one part of my overall trading process, but it helps me avoid many random price spikes, allowing me to focus on stocks that may be quietly accumulating strength.

Let me share my process how I use to identify market bottoms. I look for three things:
Let me walk through Bitcoin right now.
This is where the breakout happened in September 2024. That breakout was impulsive - taking price from roughly $60K to $100K. That level doesn't just disappear. It becomes the floor. Major breakout levels often become strong support on future pullbacks, and that’s exactly what we’re testing now
Price dropped from 60k to 58k. Meanwhile RSI went from 27 to 33. Price made a lower low but momentum didn't. That's the divergence. That's the signal.
Weekly 21EMA reclaim - still pending
The 21EMA has been declining and acting as strong resistance on every pop. January 2026, May 2026 - both moves topped right there. This is the third condition and it hasn't been met yet.
But here's the thing about that third condition - by the time it gets reclaimed, price is usually already 15-20% higher. You won't get a clean entry waiting for confirmation.
Most times I only need two of the three cues to press the gas.
Two are already in.
I've been a long term holder since 2020. Watched this thing give 1000% from my entry.
If I wasnt already in- I would be dipping toes especially now that it is 50% cheaper.
Never forget DCA has been one of the best known strategies ever
Hello,
I was wondering if this is a place where I can ask for advise?
I've just had a 200k inheritance in France. I'm wondering what to do with this money. My objective is to retire by age 50, I know that it's a difficult objective, but I want to do so with 3 million euros.
I want to invest 180k in ETF. I'm unsure what share to put. I consider 50% MSCI world, 30% Nasdaq and 20% in high growing ETF with things in mind like space, defense, biotech or robotic. I know it's impossible to aim for a specific returns but the idea would be to aim for 14% annual return.
For the last 20k I want to do an aggressive sleeve with stock picking base on notably insider data, and an AI agent to find new stocks.
Do you think this is feasible? Do you think the ETF distribution is good? I'm not risk averse but at the same time I don't want to be dumb with this money.
Thank you for your help.
the us market has been so strong (thanks ai ) for long time - when its the time to get adjusted ???
in 1 year ?
Okk soo before all of you harshly judge me, hear me out first. I started this portfolio like 6 months ago to put any left over money that i had , and i went in blindly with barely any reasearch and knowledge( I KNOW BAD IDEAA.But in a way, i learned alot more things). And even though it might look like im loosing money, im actually not and im up 15% overall. But despite this, i feel that my portfolio IS WAYYYYY TO DIVERSE and now im wondering which stocks should i sell? Idk whether to hold some of them because i always think “even thought this stock is down, what if it goes up in the future”
Is there any way that I can make regular income from stock market?
Google has grown revenue at an 18.1% CAGR since 2017, compared with 15.5% for Microsoft, and now generates over $100B more annually. Both stocks remain below their 52-week highs, making this comparison even more interesting.
Build A Bear Workshop (BBW) investors have been on a roller coaster the last few years, with the stock climbing from the teens to a high in the 70's all the way back down to ~$30 today.
I believe the company is about to be on the next leg up (I made quite a bit on the last run up and sold at $57. Yes, I should have held on longer but it was clear the company was starting to become overvalued at that price even and it would not be sustainable).
The current market cap is ~$395 mn and with a TTM net income of ~$55 mn, that gives it a trailing P/E of ~7.2. This is the P/E that a company that is going out of business should be trading at, not a company that is still growing. Revenues are still growing year over year from fiscal year ending 2023 of $468 million to fiscal year ending 2026 of $530 million. Gross margins also expanded during that time from ~39% to ~44%.
Equity on the books is $155 million giving it a price to book of 2.5. Liquidity ratios are also great (current ratio is ~1.54).
A slight point of concern is free cash flow: while it has remained positive the last few years, it is notably lower than profitability. It ranges from ~$28 million - $46 million for fiscal years ending 2023 thru fiscal years ending 2026. This gives it a price to free cash flow range of ~14 - 8.6.
Mixed with the favorable price to book ratio and net profit, I still think the free cash flow piece is not very concerning and eventually the increases in net profit will flow to increases in free cash flow.
Anything I'm missing?

Thats where money is at. Been clear for last 3 months now.
Go check out $UNH $HIMS $OSCR $LLY $JNJ $VRTX.
I attached 25 Bio stocks you can focus on.
Been investing since late 2023, started with basically nothing and just crossed £80k the other day. Wanted to post this less as a brag and more because I've genuinely learned a lot from posts like this on here, so figured I'd add mine.
Contribute a decent chunk every month and just keep buying, honestly not that exciting a strategy. Had some really good runs on AMD, SoFi and Palantir which did a lot of the heavy lifting, but I've also had some proper duds that took a while to admit were duds rather than "just needs time."
Try to actually think through why I'm buying something rather than just chasing hype, though I'll be the first to say I'm still not great at knowing when to actually sell and take profit versus getting greedy holding out for a bigger number.
Not looking for pats on the back, more just curious if anyone else here started young and has thoughts on what they'd do differently looking back.
Saw this awhile back on r/Bogleheads, its such simple advice I wanted to put it up for any beginners (and as a good reminder to everyone else too)
I j got rid of dram and nasa out of this j because there expense ratio is so high. But this week added 10 more shares of oracle since it was discounted, added 22 shares of nokia since it was under $12 after i’m fully out of dram and nasa probably gonna add space x when it goes under $135. also this is j my longs not my entire portfolio right now im like 55% plus of all my money in my longs.
Down from $37 to $17 over the past 52 weeks, now grinding at the bottom. Small green day today, +1.31%.
Beta 2.839 — this thing moves when it moves. P/E showing a loss, P/B negative at -3.86, looks ugly on paper. But free float is only 42.86M shares, tight enough that any real volume could send it.
Current price is more than 50% off the 52-week high and only about 7% above the 52-week low of $17.37. Volume today was 4,335 shares — dead quiet, classic low-volume base building.
Not the kind of name you go all-in on, but for anyone scaling in around the $17-18 range, at least the downside from here is somewhat defined. Either a catalyst shows up and this rips off the floor, or it keeps chopping sideways burning everyone's patience.
Sometimes the hardest trade is just waiting.
I'll go first: DDD, VWAGY. Almost forgot: WeWork, Walgreens
