I think A+ looks better than AA-.  Ratings are for poors

AlfrescoDog

Just for perspective: 🇫🇷 Fitch lowered France's credit rating to A+ from AA- and revised the outlook to Stable from Negative due to high debt, a weak fiscal standing, and ongoing political uncertainty. EWQ has been zig-zagging and range-bound since early May. 🇪🇸 Standard & Poor's raised Spain's rating to A+ from A with a Stable outlook. EWP is almost up +60% this year.

Honestly it depends on what other addictions he may have as to what group/s may work best for him. The most common addictions people think of are drugs, alcohol, gambling, food, sex, codependency. You have your vanilla 12 step groups, AA, NA, etc... then there are other groups like refuge recovery which is a Buddhist informed recovery group, or Recovery 2.0, which is kundalini yoga informed, You can get him the refuge recovery book, tell him to go to an online meeting, buy tommy rosen's book "recovery 2.0" etc. Tommy has a good story, that includes gambling addiction. He isn't alone. that's for sure. Overall getting involved in a recovery path usually leads people in their own directions, so these are just some basic ideas. You can DM me if you have follow up questions. Recovery is a process that pretty much everyone should be involved in in my opinion. He can pull out of it and move on and it will be much easier with a community of people that have also dealt with insane shit of their own and talk about it.

Buy the rumor sell the news. "This current bull market feels unstoppable with new support forming as former tent poles weaken," wrote said Andrew Tyler, head of global market intelligence at JPMorgan. However, he added: "We have concerns that the September 17 Fed meeting which delivers a 25bp cut could turn into a 'Sell the News' event as investors pullback to consider macro data, Fed's reaction function, potentially stretched positioning, a weaker corporate buyback bid, and waning participation from the Retail investor." https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/markets/jpmorgan-warns-the-feds-next-rate-cut-could-be-a-sell-the-news-event-that-tanks-stocks/ar-AA1MaUjo

>It’s obvious that you have no understanding of what aircraft certification entails. It’s an extremely lengthy and arduous process. You speak about battery development and replacement so casually as if it’s as easy as swapping out your AA tv remote batteries with AA lithium ion ones.  Actually, this is a critical point and a key difference between Joby and Archer. While Joby owns their complete production line, meaning almost all custom component they develop has to go through certification process, Archer has far less of this. Much of the components they pick are from a shelf of already pre-FAA-certified components for their needs. In a scenario (and just as an example; substitute batteries for something else if you like) where Joby starts to develop their own, much more advanced battery, something which is not their expertise, there will be some other third company who actually specializes in battery tech who is also starting development. While both go through certification process and get certified, Archer will be positioned to adopt the technology with exponentially less financial overhead.

Yes, I know. It's a lottery ticket with high probability chances. If AA Missing will be able to find at least SEMI-decent company and finish the merger, then the payout will be HUGE. I already sold half of my AAM warrants for 164% profit. Keeping the other half for DA announcement. The current price reflects the expectation of "absolute horrible" target or no target at all. If they can get at least OKAY target then we can get a massive profit from it.

Cocaine and those amphetamines (meth, MDMA) do real, serious damage in the amounts used "recreationally". Heroin? Sure, It'll destroy your family and surrounding society before it kills you, so it's not so bad. AA recommendation by a doctor is a serious thing. Something doesn't add up , say between your stated response to an intake question despite a history of very high liver enzymes with no other "excuse", or just admitting to binge drinking regularly.

manualCAD

Recently had a full health physical for some life insurance stuff where they asked questions about health stuff. The alcohol related question was "has a medical professional recommended AA or related counseling for alcohol abuse?" The "unlawful drug" question was "have you used any of the following drugs in the last 10 years: marijuana, methamphetamines, PCP, heroin, barbiturates, cocaine, ecstasy, etc" There's a Grand Canyon of difference between "any use in the last 10 years" and "have you had a doctor recommend you go to Alcoholics Anonymous". Ridiculous.

Actually it's the other way around: investors aren't giving corporate bonds much of a premium over Treasuries. I live in a high tax state and tax equivalency calculators show that I'm getting the same real return on a 10Y note as on a AA corporate. Granted AA have a historically low rate of default, but that's not the only consideration: The bid/ask spread on a AA bond is wider than Trasuries, which gives a clearer advantage to Treasuries if I'm a seller. This is one of the reasons I've been investing about 25% of my portfolio in Agencies, which are also not taxed at the state level and the nominal spreads are 75 to 100bp. I give up a bit of spread for callable 1 year or greater to minimize churning and minimizing reinvestment risk.

He was trying to repeal that.  The future of the CHIPS Act is facing renewed scrutiny as former US President Donald Trump urges lawmakers to repeal the $52.7 billion subsidy program, citing concerns over its impact on federal debt. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/why-is-trump-calling-for-a-repeal-of-the-527-billion-chips-act/ar-AA1AhkOB

50/50 odds of the CEO being zip tied to a Chinese AA gun within 5 years tends to depress a stock.

You have two things to figure out. The first is what your desired asset allocation is. The second is your plan for moving from your current AA to the desired one, which is a balance of taxes versus risk.

"but overlook that it could result in a **lower** price tag" I swear I heard that before somewhere.... I agree with a lot of your points, especially on it being to early to tell and it being a tool to cut dev time. But I'm skeptical in AI innovating as fast as it is now and very skeptical AI is gonna turn your AA game/studio to triple AAA. In its current state it is nowhere near doing that and while yes it will improve overtime do not count on greedy triple A studios or lazy ass dev teams like Game Freak handling it correctly/appropriately. People want Ready Player One, that enough is clear but it will not be nearly as smooth or as quick as some AI enthusiastic hope it would be.

> The generated content is very unpolished and games are already buggy enough, any sane person will not pay a high price tag for AI generated slop unless your a COD fanboy. this is incredibly short sighted. it overlooks 1. ai is constantly and rapidly improving 2. not all ai is created equal (there's a big difference between the free models which are old tech vs the cutting edge stuff major studios would be using 3. it's not "all or nothing". ai can handle a lot of the mindless grunt work freeing up humans to work on stuff that needs a human eye 4. this could cut dev timelines to shreds. many major ip's get 1 new mainline game per console generation (or worse. we're on the 3rd generation of GTA5 systems) 5. the lower dev times and smaller teams possible with ai means AA studios can make stuff on par with current AAA stuff 6. not all game genres are equal, and some are a better fit than others. ai would be a revolutionary change for rpg's or a gh/rb revival (as it could chart the songs for the dlc they sell, allowing them to have A LOT more stuff in the library)

> I know there’s an overlap between VOO, FXAIX, and VTI, but the logic behind this is to have portfolios that all each do their own thing in their own way but aim to be diversified. Is this sound? Or am I overthinking this and everything should just be VOO and chill? You don't need to diversify by buying multiple funds that do the same thing. All that does is protect you against a fund failing in some spectacular way (uh, AI takes over Fidelity and changes FXAIX from being an index fund to entirely puts on penny stocks), which I don't think is a risk worth considering. What I would do instead: 1. Determine your desired [asset allocation](https://www.bogleheads.org/wiki/Asset_allocation) for your retirement portfolio. 2. Use the selection of funds you have available and [tax-efficient principles](https://www.bogleheads.org/wiki/Tax-efficient_fund_placement) to implement that AA across your accounts.

It is possible that the appellant court will annul many of Trump's tariffs later in August here. When this happens certain stocks will bounce up more than others. IMO a good tariff recovery stock would be Alcoa ($AA). Sure it's an American company...but they import a lot of aluminum abroad...and Trump has gone nuclear on aluminum. There is currently an insane 50% tariff on aluminum from Canada and $AA gets 40% from Canada. If canceled and investors don't think Trump has a plan B...IMO AA jumps up 10-20% instantly. Maybe more.

Optimus appears to be a mess and cant even pass the popcorn test. As for robotaxi, Musk reported doing only 7k miles in the first month in Austin, thats like what 1 Uber does.
