I understand. It’s why I love CEFs, for the NAV discount. Cars or any goods, I feel like I am signing a blank check when I give the buy or sell order for a mutual fund. Take airfare instead, its like AA telling you the flight was $300 yesterday but you will get the price that the market decides it will be in an hour , which can be some unknowable amount different, and no we cannot tell you what it currently costs, do you want to buy? Not trying to daytrade a fund, simply trying to get out of some positions in my 401K that represent a substantial investment and hard work. Since I will not buy a car or airline tickets without knowing the exact price, it astounds me that I am buying and selling securities this way
Yeah well I am an idiot cause I learned about covered calls same time I got in to PLTR. The premiums were addictive, I was rolling up and right to the point I wouldn't see the stocks for years. But when it broke 220 I was like Ok Im out regardless. Still did well but yeah. I do JEPI cause I dont want to hold AA lol.
What's going to stop them? Not the AA, that's for sure.
Russian dictator is not in the position to give away anything. Bonded with the war against the poorest country in the Europe since 2014. They are unable to achieve any of their military goals. If they could get over Ukraine quickly, they would do that ASAP, no matter the costs. Simply they can't. To capture Greenland, you can't just install your own government. You would need to go there physically and in some ways get rid of soldiers from Denmark, France, Sweden and Norway. They're already there. You'd need to push their frigate, helicopters and F16s out of the territory, which would end US presence in NATO (They still care, even if they have to say they don't). I would say that Venezuela was really low-hanging fruit for the US gov. Russians were not able to protect it, China's not really interested, and people of Venezuela didn't want Maduro regime to last. Almost no AA resistance speaks for itself. Now let's back to the regular business, release all unredacted files and sort things out with human traffickers.
Defense stocks. Defense stocks. Defense stocks. World is getting horny for war. Countries all over the world gonna invest in AA systems and shitloads of hypersonic missiles.

This thing was over before it started the deals were already made that’s why they stood down. You don’t just fly helicopters into the beginning of an invasion unless you know they won’t be shot down. They are easy targets for any kind of AA weapons

[https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/markets/china-tech-is-back-ai-boom-drives-hong-kong-stocks-to-best-run-in-8-years/ar-AA1TrVSO?ocid=Peregrine](https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/markets/china-tech-is-back-ai-boom-drives-hong-kong-stocks-to-best-run-in-8-years/ar-AA1TrVSO?ocid=Peregrine) Hmm, good point.
It was just a show. Maduro was either sold off by his people or he decided to give himself up to the US. Not a single AA missile, MANPAD or bullet was fired at US. Not a single one. US helicopters were flying low and slow over Caracas, no flares deployed during the route. Quite literally just taxied Maduro outta Venezuela while smoking crack and joking around. Threat was never there. Meaning they struck a deal with someone/Maduro that Venezuelan army would stand down and then extracted him without problems. If it all was for real, US bombing campaign would be way more intensive and wouldn't be limited to literall 5-10 strikes around the city with no casualties. There would be machine gun tracer barrages lighting up the skies. Sirens would be roaring. None of that was there.

This was even more crazy. Bin laden wasn't the leader of the country and was hiding there, Maduro probably had security details, personal protection, his own army protecting the city etc. The bin laden raid didn't involve such a large scale of complexity, in terms of SEAD strikes to neutralize AA first, number of helicopters , contact with an enemy force etc. This was textbook. The bin laden raid was extremely daring and probably involved a lot of intelligence work, but this is a whole other level.
They gonna buy a lot more AA missiles. From non-US suppliers.
All their AA is probably wiped out by now, vast majority of their armored vehicles are from the 60s and 70s, some even from the 50s. 39 older F16s and Sukhoi su30s, 1 sub and destroyer. Who knows if they even got a single fighter up, and it would be useless anyway.

>People used to laugh and say, “That’s not investing, you’re basically at a casino.” Too volatile. No fundamentals. Pure luck. >Fast forward a few years and now the same thing is an “asset class.” ETFs, institutions, serious money. >Do you think it's still gambling or do you invest part of your money in crypto now? #Stupid Crypto Talking Point #8 (endorsements?) "**[Big Company/Banana Republic/Politician] is exploring/using bitcoin/blockchain! Now will you admit you were wrong?**" / "**Crypto has 'UsE cAs3S!'**" / "**EEE TEE EFFs!!one**" 1. Crypto was originally, "disruptive technology" destined to "replace the banking/finance system". Now with [the truth slowly surfacing regarding blockchain's inability to be particularly good at anything](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tspGVbmMmVA), crypto people have backpedaled to instead suggest, "Hey it has 'use-cases!'" The operative issue isn't whether crypto & blockchain can be "used" here-or-there. The issue is: *Is there a good reason? Does this tech actually do anything better than what we have already been using?* And the answer to that is, [No.](https://ioradio.org/i/blockchain-claims/) 2. Most of the time, adoption claims are wrong. Just because you read some press release does not mean any major government, corporation or other entity is embracing crypto. It usually means someone asked them about crypto and they said, "We'll look into it" and that got interpreted as "adoption imminent!" 3. In cases where companies did launch crypto/blockchain projects they usually fall into one of these categories: * Some company or supplier put out a press release advertising some "crypto project" involving a well known entity that never got off the ground, or was tried and failed miserably (such as [IBM/Maersk's Tradelens](https://www.maersk.com/news/articles/2022/11/29/maersk-and-ibm-to-discontinue-tradelens), [Australia's stock exchange](https://www.reuters.com/markets/australian-stock-exchanges-blockchain-failure-burns-market-trust-2022-12-20/), etc.) See also [dead blockchain projects](https://weh.wtf/34-blockchain-projects.html). * Companies (like VISA, Fidelity or Robin Hood) **are not embracing crypto directly**. Instead they are *partnering with a crypto exchange* (such as BitPay) that will either handle all the crypto transactions and they're merely licensing their network, or they're a third party payment gateway that pays the big companies in fiat. There's no evidence any major company is actually switching over to crypto, or that any of these major companies are even touching crypto. It's a huge liability they let newbie third parties deal with so they have plausible deniability for liabilities due to money laundering and sanctions laws. * What some companies are calling "blockchain" is not in any meaningful way actually using 'blockchain' tech. For example, IBM's "Hyperledger" claims to have "[blockchain design philosophy](https://8112310.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hubfs/8112310/Hyperledger/Offers/Hyperledger_Arch_WG_Paper_1_Consensus.pdf)" but in reality, it is not decentralized and has no core architecture that's anything like crypto blockchain systems. Also note that IBM has their own trademarked phrase, "IBM Blockchain®" - their version of "blockchain" is neither decentralized, nor permissionless. It does not in any way resemble a crypto blockchain. It also remains to be seen, the degree to which anybody is actually using their "IBM Food Trust" supply chain tracking system, which we've [proven cannot really benefit from blockchain technology](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tspGVbmMmVA&t=2108s). 4. Sometimes, politicians who are into crypto take advantage of their power and influence to force some crypto adoption on the community they serve -- [this almost always fails](https://truthout.org/articles/miamis-mayor-went-all-in-on-cryptocurrency-his-constituents-suffered/), but again, crypto people will promote the press release announcing the deal, while ignoring any follow-up materials that say such a proposal was rejected. 5. Some funds/fund managers are buying crypto? So what. It's not like fund managers don't do favors for insiders/friends or never make poor choices. If some Harvard-adjascent fund buys BTC that doesn't mean "smart people recognize Bitcoin!" Not hardly. The exception doesn't prove the rule 6. Just because some company has jumped on the crypto bandwagon doesn't mean, "It's the future." McDonald's bundled [Beanie Babies](https://i.imgur.com/McdwlxA.jpg) with their Happy Meals for a time, when those collectable plush toys were being billed as the next big investment scheme. Corporations have a duty to exploit any goofy fad available if it can help them make money, and the moment these fads fade, they drop any association and pretend it never happened. 7. Crypto ETFs are not an endorsement of crypto. (In fact part of the US SEC [was vehemently against approving ETFs - it was not a unanimous decision](https://www.sec.gov/newsroom/speeches-statements/crenshaw-statement-spot-bitcoin-011023)) They're simply ways for traditional companies to exploit crypto enthusiasts. These entities do not care at all about the future of crypto. It's just fee income, and the moment it becomes unprofitable for them to run the scheme, they'll drop it. It's simply businesses taking advantage of a fad. Crypto ETFs though are actually worse, because they're a vehicle to siphon money into the crypto market -- if crypto was a viable *alternative* to TradFi, then these gimmicky things wouldn't be desirable. Also [here](https://youtu.be/P5LKZ1-6BWM) is mathematical evidence MSTR is a Ponzi. 8. Countries like [El Salvador](https://www.economist.com/finance-and-economics/2025/03/02/el-salvadors-wild-crypto-experiment-ends-in-failure) who claim to have adopted bitcoin really [haven't in any meaningful way.](https://reason.com/2024/10/31/a-week-of-failing-to-pay-with-bitcoin-in-el-salvador/) El Salvador's endorsement of bitcoin is tied to a proprietary exchange with their own non-transparent software, "Chivo" that is not on bitcoin's main blockchain - and as such [isn't really bitcoin adoption as much as it's bitcoin exploitation.](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28446794) Plus, USD is the real legal tender in El Salvador and since BTC's adoption, [use of crypto has stagnated](https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2022-11-04/el-salvador-s-bitcoin-revolution-is-failing-badly). Adoption continues to [decline in El Salvador each year](https://www.swissinfo.ch/spa/el-salvador-registr%C3%B3-en-2024-el-menor-uso-del-bitc%C3%B3in-desde-su-adopci%C3%B3n-en-2021/88736952). Also note [Venezuela has now scrapped its state-sanctioned cryptocurrency](https://www.foreignbrief.com/venezuela-to-scrap-state-cryptocurrency/). Now [El Salvador has abandoned Bitcoin as currency](https://ticotimes.net/2025/02/02/el-salvador-abandons-bitcoin-as-legal-tender-after-failed-experiment), [reversing its legal tender mandate.](https://www.france24.com/en/live-news/20250130-el-salvador-merchants-no-longer-obliged-to-accept-bitcoin). 9. Some "big companies are holding crypto on their balance sheet" - So what? They're just trying to pump their stock price to take advantage of the temporary crypto mania. It's not any more substantive than that iced tea company that changed their name to "Blockchain iced tea company" and got a bump to their stock price. It won't last, and it's a gimmick and not financially sound. The biggest of these is [MSTR whom critics are saying makes the company into a Ponzi](https://www.ccn.com/analysis/business/microstrategy-ponzi-scheme-bitcoin-strategy-mstr-saylor-btc/) 10. Case In Point: In 2025, the big announcement was burger chain Steak and Shake was going to accept bitcoin. The truth is, [the company is getting paid in USD and using a third party exchange to process BTC payments and give them fiat](https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/steak-n-shake-now-accepting-bitcoin-lightning-network-across-us-locations). Another misleading news story. 11. Other Big-Company-Crypto-Failures: [Kodak](https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/technology/a-flash-in-the-pan-the-strange-story-of-kodaks-ill-fated-crypto-venture/ar-AA1Krm7t), [Steam](https://steamcommunity.com/games/593110/announcements/detail/1464096684955433613), [Wal-Mart and IBM](https://fintechmode.com/news/business/walmart-halts-its-blockchain-plans-for-food-traceability/), [Microsoft](https://www.zdnet.com/finance/blockchain/microsoft-is-shutting-down-its-azure-blockchain-service/), [a major consortium of European corporations who pulled the plug on their blockchain projects](https://www.ledgerinsights.com/major-insurers-pull-the-plug-on-b3i-insurance-blockchain-consortium/), [Maersk](https://www.supplychaindive.com/news/Maersk-IBM-shut-down-TradeLens/637580/). Even though these companies discontinued any association with crypto years ago, proponents still hype the projects as if they're still active. So, whenever you hear "so-and-so company is using crypto" always be suspect. What you'll find is either that's not totally true, or if they are, they're partnering with a crypto company who is paying them for the association, not unlike an advertiser/licensing relationship. **Not** adoption. Exploitation. And temporary at that. We've seen absolutely no increase in crypto adoption - in fact quite the contrary. More and more people in every industry from [gaming](https://www.theverge.com/2021/10/15/22728425/valve-steam-blockchain-nft-crypto-ban-games-age-of-rust) to [banking](https://www.reuters.com/business/finance/us-federal-reserve-rejects-crypto-focused-banks-application-be-supervised-by-2023-01-27/), are rejecting deals with crypto companies.

SSB have two inherent problems to overcome - thermal expansion (things swell when heated) thus significant thermal control will consume any cost and weight advantage and secondly, the degree of lithium intercalation will probably impact efficiency reducing battery life making them uneconomical. The intercalation is a key performance requirement to make batteries work. SLDP or QS - none of these have a lead in SSB technology.

> It’s like telling an alcoholic to just limit themselves to 2 drinks. It’s not going to happen It actually does happen, more often than many think. Especially when one realizes themselves that they’ve done harm, as opposed to needing intervention from family, friends or other external factors. Data on abstinence-based substance rehabilitation systems (e.g. AA) is pretty poor, and if you talk to a diverse group of addicts, counselors, psychologists, peers with addiction experience, etc. you may be surprised to find that many deal with addiction successfully through discipline and limits. Moderation. For many addicts, abstinence is just setting up for failure. And it can be much worse, because abstinence doesn’t teach moderation. It teaches only good and evil. Enough on addiction philosophy 😂 As for this particular case, a 2 or 3 fund Bogleheads portfolio would be the abstinence approach. Maybe that would work fine. But there’s nothing crazy about proposing setting aside 5% of funds in a separate account and using that to get your “fix”, if it helps you keep the 95% on track.

You're welcome. I can't help you with hedging this thing, because 1) I don't trade them, and 2) I don't hedge. And I can't help you with managing it either, per #1. But if you have "strong conviction," then pick a direction! That would be my advice. And since it sounds like you know what you're doing with options, you know there's several ways to do that with options. I just went through an exercise on another sub where I picked 3 stocks whose momentum I currently like (though I only trade ETFs these days). So let me pick the most mainstream one of those, Alcoa, and go through the numbers for you, "synthetic" vs. LEAPS Call. I have "strong conviction" for this one for the next 3-6 months. I'll use the Jan '27 expiry like you have. I'm typing as I go, and I'll post this whichever trade the analysis favors, but I'd already bet money that LEAPS Calls will 'win'. **AA** is at 54.25 this Sunday night. That's closer to the 55-strike than the 50-strike in the 383DTE expiration, so I'll buy the **55C** and sell the **55P**. I built the trade in my cash/margin account, and ThinkorSwim said it would cost 1.20, with a Buying Power Effect of $2,184. That's the margin 'allowance,' 2.5x less than the Max Loss amount of $5,425 if you held shares. I*f your margin 'rate' is better, it'll change the calculations below.* \------------------------------------------------ So now let's **buy a LEAPS Call**. I advocate buying at least 1 year out, but no further, and at 80-delta. So for Alcoa that's the Jan '27 (same expiration as above) 40-strike Call. It's at 81-delta, selling for 19.20 at Midpoint. **No allowance for margin**, so BPE is the full amount, $1,920 See if you get margin for buying a Call. I don't think anyone does, just for selling Calls or Puts. A person might have Portfolio Margin, and then I think you'd get a break, but I don't, so I'll proceed with this. Max Loss is $1,920, the Call going to zero. And that's a bit less than the synthetic's BPE of 2,184, so the denominator of the ROC calc is a bit smaller. But I have to be fair: the LEAPS Call only goes up 80 cents for each dollar Alcoa goes up. So let's see how shares, the synthetic, and the Call stack up |Shares:|Synthetic:|LEAPS Call:| |:-|:-|:-| |$1 / 54.25 = 1.8%|$1 / 21.84 = 4.58%|$1 x 0.8 / 19.20 = 4.16%| Uh-oh, I was wrong.
Love it, I’m in on AA and NEM but similar minded plays.
Hi wetriumph. My apologies, I confused you with poster Wallstreetbets. Regardless, I'm glad you found my comments useful. I'm glad you have a therapist. I've been sober 14 plus years and still see the same therapist. She uses a technique called EMDR and it's been very helpful. Here's a link that explains it: [https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/treatments/22641-emdr-therapy](https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/treatments/22641-emdr-therapy) My main source for sobriety support is AA. I sponsor three guys and that helps me as much as them. I think it would really help for you to get into GA, or if you can't find it, AA (which is everywhere). You may also find online GA meetings if you search. I think you'll find the people in recovery very understanding. They'll guide you through the 12 steps. And don't be too concerned about the religious overtones. That puts some people off (like me) and others embrace it and make it part of their recovery. It's all up to you. Please let me know how you're doing from time to time, or if you have any more questions about these recovery programs.. Addiction to anything is no way to live. Even so, just knowing that isn't enough. Individually, we have to save ourselves, and the first steps on that road are to admit you can't control what you're doing (drinking, gambling, narcotics), and you ask for help. You sound like a person who will be successful in recovery, and I absolutely wish you the best. Joe
I appreciate that, Joe. Therapy has been helpful and going to look into GA or AA.
I'm sorry Wallstreetbets, I truly am. Day trading is just like gambling, and it's addictive. You are not alone and you are not the only one who has had this happen, or has used debt to finance investing. As you know, it's not a good idea, but people do it. Gambling is an addiction like alcohol, opiates, meth, coke, and on. And day trading is nothing more than gambling, along with losing. Please get some help. I hope you are young enough to recover/rebuild your wealth. I finished my careeer as a financial advisor. One thing I refuse to do was work with a client who wanted to invest on margin - or as you say, leveraged. Yes the potential for significant upside is there, but there is a similar downside risk and it's not worth it. Similarly, I strongly discourage day trading. I know a thing or two about addiction and had a great friend who was a recovering gambler. Check out local meetings, or just attend AA as the steps are the same, only the source of addiction has changed. I realize my words are cold comfort in the light of your losses. Please believe in yourself, stay away from day trading, leveraged or not, and seek out help. You are most certainly not alone. I wish you all the best. Joe
The first chapter of the intelligent investor made me realize i went through the exact same thought process graham describes. I now like to read about other people's mistakes instead of finding out myself. Im up 30% this year sticking to mostly value investing. Look for things that have a clear future but investors are ignoring or scared. A great example this year was $UNH. I did very well with $REGN $AA. $MU up 120%!! I did a couple options gambles but nothing crazy. I did make $1500 on a $gld call which is nothing to sneeze at.

AA: I'm up 70% on a few shares. One of those "I knew it was a good play and I still didn't have the balls" stocks. Can win on both sides of the tariff situation - price memory if they go away, domestic production if they stay. Profitable with real avenues for growth. Maybe too boring for this sub, but I'm sure someone could have retired if they bet on it with how consistently it grew this year. RIO: a less sure bet, more volatility, but maybe more remaining upside. ERO: same as above pretty much. LAC: this one is more suited to this sub, not yet profitable, potential for huge growth, etc. Nothing crazy, and I'm not an expert by any means.
By the way people in Narcotics anonymous / AA have a thing called 24 hour rooms so that ppl that have no one to celebrate with can all get together and play board games and stuff, for this very reason
Nothing but green candle after green candle on SPY in this dead market melt-up lined up like AA guns shooting stupid poots out of the sky

I’ve seen better speeches at AA meetings
I walked into a bar with an old buddy once and bar tender says "hey, glad you are back, we were getting worried" and he was like "I've been in good health" and the bar tender said "no, someone started a rumor that you started going to AA...." there was an awkward pause for a minute and then bar tender said "well, rumor or not, glad to see you here. "

Try [Gamblers Anonymous](https://gamblersanonymous.org/). There are virtual meetings to help get started. I'm not a gambler but I quit drinking 13 years ago and in-person support at AA and other meetings made it happen. I'm shocked this hasn't been mentioned yet, but you probably wouldn't find sobriety by asking around at a bar either.

Small arms are of course still essential part of warfare but Ukraine if anything is leading things away from small arms. The way the frontline is looking these days is very small infiltration units probing a very porous front. Nearly all casualties are drones, artillery and mines and the firearm engagements are almost 1v1 fights which means not that many bullets flying. The new usecases from Ukraine are cheap AA like small cheap missiles, gun based AA, laser and jammers, because the "traditional" NATO AA is too expensive and high powered to be efficient and cost effective at countering small drones. Airburst munition would be a better bet, gun based AA went from near obsolete to trendy overnight. Rheinmetall has enough Skyranger orders until next century.

I wanted to go back to basics for 2026 - and since I research a lot for AI Data Centers, I can see the momentum slowing in so called AI Data Center Tech Stocks (such as my largest gains in 2025 which were NBIS, IREN, APLD & MU). So for 2026, I rotated my top picks into what I'm seeing are the largest "NEEDS" or "DEMAND" for AI Data Center build-outs - which are Aluminum, Battery-Back-ups & Natural Gas Energy. So my top public company choices for those are... TTI, AA & BKV. Of course do your own DD - but I just wanted to share :)
Yes, I agree. I really think we may see some nice upgrades or good price appreciation on this stock on Wed - as Battery Back-Ups & Aluminum demand for AI Data Centers have been skyrocketing lately. This is why I'm heavy into Alcoa (AA) stock as well. Thanks for the reply!

With VGU you’re doubling down on the growth stocks. That’s not what I’m after I ve kept international out of this discussion so it is not about overall AA and just about diversification of VOO.
But there isn't really. A debt to EBITDA ratio becomes concerning above 3x. Meta's is 0.5x. Meta's cost of debt is far lower than it's cost of equity, so you could easily make the argument that Meta should actually be taking on more debt especially when interest rates are relatively low. Also, over half the debt is in 20-40 year bonds meaning it will have little impact on their cash flow. And the interest rates range from 4.2 to 5.7 percent. A company like Meta should be gorging on 40 year debt at 5.7%. You borrow when you can, not when you have to. They aren't a struggling consumer buying food on a credit card. They're debt is AA rated, they're underlevered and they can easily make the payments without any issue.
I bought AA rights when II ipo'd. And of course nothing has happened.
Correct! Also watch Alcoa (AA) stock - they are having a huge turn around story because Aluminum has been exploding in price from all these data center build-outs. Oh, by the way, Alcoa is ALSO having an investor conf today @ 1pm EST

I've been hopeful on domestic aluminum. I did have decent gains on AA, but the narrative in my head was "muh tariffs" would pump it more. Others that I totally overlooked like Kaiser might be good too. Just my regarded ideas...

NGENF. First pharmaceutical to heal spinal cords. Literally changing lives. Patients who went through the trial and received the drug had nothing short of miraculous responses. Read the most recent news release where patient testimonials lie. Phase 1b/2a chronic was a remarkable, ground breaking success. Currently on 1b/2a for subacute. This isn't hyperbole - if it makes it to market, this drug will be as significant as antibiotics or insulin. Researching this company made me emotional once I recognized how ground breaking and life changing this could be for so many people. It's so important, in fact, we could have AA from the FDA early 2026. I've never had so much conviction in a single stock before.

VLVY = Against big names and strong competition, their revenue is dropping fast by quarter . Thanks for this I’ll buy puts against them . Serv=cash flow negative insanely, concept is cool but they Are worth 0$ a share, they couldn’t pay me to buy their shares . It cost the investors money currently for their little robots . BHVN = literally makes no money, haven’t sold a thing , why in the fk would you want this? It’s worth $0 “Mr wonderful tone” They make no money! Gloo= just started making revenue and loosing money hand over fist, they’ll dilute shareholders for more funds . Before I continue , fk dude learn the fundamentals behind companies , they companies are all negative with no future , straight hopeium. Beta = loosing money even with a few small aerospace contracts, they need to fund or dilute to live . UAL= actually profitable and increasing , however, near all time highs , has more room to drop on bad news then succeed on good news , lots of competitors . AA= now that interesting , just hit some good profitability metrics but chilling near all time highs , that could go either way especially with mining. CCJ= Gainging revenue and ground , looks good but all time highs again. Googl: Looks good but all time high agains , Hood = again good but all time highs . I I wouldn’t buy in at these P/E on any of these stocks even the few with good fundamentals Lastly: RDDT: I mean , sure they just gained profitability and the business model is mainly ads so that’s okay but I mean would you really buy Reddit at the price of Nvidia or AMD? Even Comcast on its downhill slope is $26.50 a share and blows Reddit out the water on earnings and revenue . I wouldn’t pay $100+ for a share of a company that makes so little income as a company compared to others . Nothing against Reddit , just overpriced.
Too much in speculative names, would not recommend owning airlines. HOOD is doing great now, lost 83% from the top in 2021 - if there's another turn South in the market that is getting obliterated (I'm not saying that the market is a bubble that will imminently pop, but quite a few think that is some degree of the case and HOOD would not be a bad short for anyone with that opinion.) "SERV (food delivery everywhere, taking out the delivery guy saves money)" I definitely don't see this as something beyond short distance deliveries in densely populated urban areas and even with that it's not without issues. These use LIDAR from OUST - imo, that is a more appealing broader play that I'm long as a very small holding. "AA (aluminum supply outside of China important)" Stock is about where it was in 2017. Maybe aluminum supply becomes a larger issue, but it hasn't been enough in the last several years to do anything much for the stock.

GME issuer credit grade is B while AMC issuer credit grade is CCC+, the grades determine whether their debts are attractive to Wall St. These 2 garbage aren't remotely close to the AA grades the Magic 7 have(with the exception of TSLA who has BBB, which is why they choose equity offering instead).
