Contrarian optimism on the stock

if we look everywhere online about Fiserv, there’s just nonstop pessimism and bitterness about the company and the stock price.

let’s just take a step back, right now could be the worst of the worst.

many of us here respected Fiserv before that’s why we joined the company or bought the stock.

the turning point for Fiserv stock is probably here or near. it’s always been one solid cash cow business model.


VZ training AI

Verizon announces $70m investment in nationwide AI upskilling initiative with “Verizon AI Skills for America”. Out APPS dont work 1/2 the time and we can't even get training on anything but throw another 70m on top of the 50mil outside of company? https://www.tradingview.com/news/reuters.com,2026:newsml_L1N45F0CX:0-verizon-to-invest-70-million-in-ai-training-effort/


Advice to anyone with RSU’s

I received my first RSU about 6 years ago and have received a new one every year for the past 6 years.

My advice is this, do not sell. I am literally becoming rich from RSUs. I have colleagues who have sold them immediately after they vest who are now kicking themselves.

I’m not saying never sell, instead hold for a few years at least, you may get as lucky as me.

Peace


What should Comcast have done

I retired fairly recently after working for CMCSA for 17 years all of which was in HQ. I am not disagreeing with comments about leaders not changing focus, product development issues or competing/over-lapping groups but what tech or product should CMCSA have "pivoted" (man I hate that word) to?

It was only a matter of time before video would die and the theme park experiment was just that. So where should they have invested in?


Fund Performance - Morningstar Peer Ranks

Capital Management continues to struggle abysmally this year. Poor stock selection. Poor positioning. Peer rankings according to Morningstar. The higher the number, the worse the peer to peer performance. Many MoA funds continue to be bottom feeders

Time to stop protecting Capital Management. Time to end quarterly bonuses for them. Time to layoff some people.


What Fidelity National Information Services Shares Record Core Wins Means For Shareholders

  • Fidelity National Information Services reported record first half core wins in community and regional banking and rolled out new AI driven and embedded banking products, alongside a collaboration with Ericsson to speed digital wallet deployments.
  • These moves suggest that more banks and wallet providers are consolidating around Fidelity National Information Services for connected, multi product technology rather than point solutions.
  • The next area of attention is how this wave of record core wins shapes Fidelity National Information Services' investment narrative.

Executives Invest Heavily Post-Layoffs

Uber's CEO and COO have collectively invested approximately $15 million in company stock. This significant purchase occurred shortly after the company announced substantial layoffs. The executives' actions signal strong confidence in Uber's future strategy. These buys represent the largest insider stock acquisition in the past year. The investment comes as Uber focuses on streamlining operations and expanding its robo-taxi division.

Yesterday, Nike held to $37.00 by skin of its teeth!!!

I was suspecting that PK stepped in to buy to create support at that level. LOL JK

Today, NKE blew pass $37.00 as if it doesn't exist. And it comfortably found home at upper $36.00. That is if market will not turn south at the last hour of trading session.
So don't be surprised if ends the day at low $36.00

With Iran War, Trade War and Inflation as factor, I don't think anyone will step in and buy.

Nike is caught between rock and a hard place.


VZ Dividend

So for the first time in nearly 20 years Verizon did not announce an increase in the dividend payout in September, something the company has done since 2007. And with treasury yields increasing, there's less of a risk/reward advantage to invest in Verizon as opposed to buying T-bills if you're a large institutional investor. You see today the reaction of Wall Street on that news. Going to be tough sledding to $60/share without a lot of growth.


Just sold my last Shell Share

I had a two decade long career at Shell. I held on to all the shares that I got through PSP and the discount. Two years ago Shell gave me the ol' heave ho severance package because I don't match the DEI quota for senior leaders (aka male on a 100% male team and I don't have either a tan, an alphabet letter, or an accent so I was the one selected to go). I was watching the Shell shares run up in value... but the nagging part was that while watching them climb XOM was climbing faster percentage wise... and for most of the time QQQ and nvidia were too. I kind of regret hanging on to Shell for a higher price when selling Shell and buying a better company would have done me better financially.

Selling Shell to buy a lot of different things would have been better. the idea of hoping your holdings are the winner is like staying with your first pick on the Monty Hall problem

SELL Sell SELL


Love the Recent News Headlines about Humana’s Paltry Dividend

Keep out stock until at least October 30th and on November 27th you will get a whole $0.885 per share in CASH!!!

So, if you have 200 shares, you get a check for $177 (before taxes)! Yippee!!! Woo hoo!!!

Never mind, considering investing some place else where your money will grow at a much higher rate between now and October 30th.


Wells Fargo Analysts Turning Cautious on US Stocks

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2026-09-01/wells-fargo-analysts-join-jpmorgan-traders-in-turning-cautious-on-us-stocks?srnd=homepage-americas

"The bank’s analysts, led by Ohsung Kwon, the firm’s chief equity strategist, warn of “broad cautiousness” heading into September as investors grow increasingly anxious about the sustainability of the AI-investment bo-m. The team expects capital expenditure fears around the AI build-out to peak. However, they note, their sentiment indicator remains more positive than negative after a mid-August selloff."

With such deep competence around WF, who even doubts this.

I have no doubt that if his Kwon's recommendations are bad, they will be stacked ranked, IMd and fired.


AI falling out of favor

Now that AI and Big Tech are officially falling out of favor on Wall Street, how long until Jim pivots and claims his "big bet" on AI was just a victim of bad timing? Place your bets, but historically, he usually clings to a fad for about a year before quietly shuffling away.

What amazes me is how he always gets away with it. How many trends does this guy have to chase just to sit at the cool kids' table on Wall Street? Why doesn't Bill see through this? Sometimes chasing the shiny new thing doesn't pay off, to the tune of $20 billion.

First, it was autonomous vehicles Argo taxis, because every American loves to rent their car. "They'll be here tomorrow!" Then it was subscriptions. "Wait, no, energy, were an auto battery supplier now! Wait no one wants them, how about energy storage, anyone? !" And now? "Data centers and defense! That’s the ticket!" Affordable, sorry guys, that was Mr. Trump, which Jim referred to as the "return of common sense", after cursing him for stripping the EV dream no American wanted.

Does anyone remember the genius of the scooter or the inflatable bike? We're growing they exclaimed, we went from 5 employees to 500, that's progress!


Verizon takes equity stake in MobileX

Verizon secured a minority equity stake in prepaid carrier MobileX by converting an existing loan into equity. This transaction coincides with a broader $200 million deal where EchoStar chairman Charlie Ergen's special-purpose acquisition company, CONX, is acquiring a controlling stake in MobileX

So who are we not buying or partnering with?


BNY Stocks

How do I cash out the six BNY stocks we were granted back in 2023?

I clicked transfer but was met with “your cash balance is $41.36. To make more cash available, you’ll need to place a trade”.
Total account value $1033.82

Explain to me like I’m clueless (because I’ve never done this), if I click place a trade, what do I select or click next?

I just want my money.

U.S. National Debt (Record Growth)

U.S. National Debt (Record Growth) -

(Current) $39.9 Trillion (and rising).

(Current) $111.0 Billion in Interest (and rising) paid (each year) by U.S. Taxpayers to Investors that finance it (U.S. based, Japan, China; etc.) via U.S. Treasury bonds.

(Current) 123.19% Debt-to-GDP ratio - (2000) 56.63%, in (2025) 98.0%.

May 2026 - The U.S. Treasury called the U.S. Government (Insolvent).

(Current) Fed Balance Sheet - $6.76 Trillion (and rising).

There are consequences in the future, yes the Fed can print (Fiat) currency; but that causes devaluation-debasement of the U.S. dollar over time.
