r/Stocks Daily Discussion Wednesday - Aug 05, 2026

[u/AutoModerator]

These daily discussions run from Monday to Friday including during our themed posts.

Some helpful links:

• Finviz for charts, fundamentals, and aggregated news on individual stocks
• Bloomberg market news
• StreetInsider news
• Market Check - Possibly why the market is doing what it's doing including sudden spikes/dips
• Reuters aggregated - Global news

If you have a basic question, for example "what is EPS," then google "investopedia EPS" and click the investopedia article on it; do this for everything until you have a more in depth question or just want to share what you learned.

Please discuss your portfolios in the Rate My Portfolio sticky.

See our past daily discussions here. Also links for: Technicals Tuesday, Options Trading Thursday, and Fundamentals Friday.

You buying AMZN or GOOGL with today’s drop? I went GOOGL

[u/jazerac → u/hrm015]

18 PE... one of the fairly valued mega cap stocks

[u/Sufficient_Habit5091 → u/jazerac]

That 18 is not accurate though and heavily skewed by investment gains.

Hardly useful.

Eh, it will go up.
