I've been an investor in Apple because I strongly believe in the company. I've always believed in the stock, but now I don't know whether to re-distribute my $70k portfolio and put some money in Nvidia, especially now that we are experiencing a market correction.

[@hh-uv7kr]

Both stocks have a long term potential. The most important thing is the ratio of the distribution based on the financials of each company. There are many other companies that are also doing well. You could just hire a financial advisor to guide you.

[@shellywhite2145]

I agree. A financial advisor really does help me do the distribution even between different asset classes. I don't even understand technical financial terms much. I just know I make really good profit, and I don't have to stress myself a lot.

[@hh-uv7kr]

I've got similar problems and I have also considered using an FA but I don't know how to go about it. Please, what are the steps for getting one? Like a really good one.

[@shellywhite2145]

Ashley Airagahi is the licensed advisor I use. Just research the name. You’d find necessary details to work with to set up an appointment.

[@hh-uv7kr]

Thank you for the recommendation. I'll send her an email, and I hope I'm able to reach her and connect.

EU regulators using US companies as a piggy bank to fund their budget shortfalls 🤣.

[@NicholasWilliams-kd3eb]

It's corporate government propaganda, no one is "cracking down" on anything, it's a attention diversion tactic that congress plays to protect corporations from paying their debt.

[@coshvjicujmlqef6047]

This is ridiculous. How is this a monopoly. Bundling does not make it monopoly plus nobody really uses team.

[@EthelbertCoyote]

I suspect at some point these tech firms will buckle and make "lesser" EU-compliant versions of their software... and charge for everyone that was formerly free.

[@jakejoyride]

finally they will be forced to remove teams from my system - thank you EU

[@adamyami2902]

Americans get butthurt when the fines are made to american companies as if they where stock holders, but are completely fine when the US make fines to foreign companies. 😂

[@Antagon666]

All those corpo simps in the comments 💀

[@TaataGeo]

No wonder EU can’t INNOVATE

[@ssuwandi3240]

But BUT you said you love Universal Health Care😂😂

[@NicholasWilliams-kd3eb]

US corporation are stealing their intellectual property through data harvesting. This is the real reason.

[@Thischannelisdicontinued]

Corporate boot licking

[@NicholasWilliams-kd3eb]

Byte dance is privately owned, yes, by the CCP. lmao

[@shaunmc013]

The EU has found a new way to bring in revenue. Extortion..

[@allistorreed2271]

The big tech companies are very valuable and profitable. But at the same time risky as they buy up the smaller companies and monopolizing their domains.

[@kylesmith8128]

Fines like this....are like an eviction notice. Not possible to pay them and be profitable.

[@piens51]

Good. US fines are like spare change to companies. If you wana operate in EU? Comply with the law if not gtfo or get fines in to oblivion.

[@matthew.m.stevick]

Europe enjoying their 6 month vacations and naps then “fining” our majestic American 🇺🇸 Technology Godzillas as their new fiscal & monetary policy. Stop 🛑 it, embarrassing 🙈.

[@wussrestbrook1200]

Basically living on credit their children will live like glorified Malaysians

[@ssuwandi3240]

You sound pretty poor about Europe funding model... Esp their industrial and infrastructure scale are massive.. that time off actually is one of the drivers.. Europeans wouldn't mind spending for value than Americans and definitely Asians / secular state funded Malaysians
