4 Stocks We Are Watching This Year 1-27-25

0.169 - 12.683

This is Scott Becker with the Becker Private Equity and Business Podcast. We're constantly following this year a handful of stocks, and I'll talk through the four that we're following regularly and what they're doing today.

12.703 - 33.152

So I think it's fascinating to see the ups and downs, and it often leads me back to my core strategy of largely investing in S&P index funds and keeping a conservative allocation. But four of the stocks we're watching this year, Palantir, which we're a direct investor in, is down 5%. The three other stocks are stocks that we thought about being a direct investor in.

33.572 - 49.122

Two of them are Warren Buffett's favorites, long-term favorites, Apple and American Express. Apple is one of the few stocks that's up today about 2.4%. Amex is down 1.5% today. But in a day where the markets are getting tanked, being down 1.5% is not so bad.

51.488 - 79.79

also compare that to nvidia nvidia is down 15 today just taking on the chin on the notion that this chinese ai company deep seek can outperform a lot of these companies without tremendously sophisticated chips which is a disaster for nvidia which is the most sophisticated large chip maker so again those are four of the stocks that we follow regularly Palantir, a direct investor, down 5%.

80.05 - 99.717

The three other stocks we've thought about investing, and I've never really pulled the trigger individually, but of course, own them through index funds. Apple is up today, 2.4%. Amex is down today, 1.5%. And that's despite all the usage in the Becker family of the Amex card. And then NVIDIA is just getting crushed today, down 15%.
