The US will never let EHang operate in the US and as far as I know they haven't submitted for any European certification, so that severely limits their market. In addition, since the FAA is still the gold standard for certification, some will question how safe EHang is. I also do not see Archer and Joby as being serious competitors at this time. While Archer does talk about running an air taxi service, they have released no information on how they will accomplish that task, while they more often talk about selling aircraft as a traditional aircraft supplier. Joby is the opposite. While they will sell aircraft for some markets, their business will mostly focus on expanding and running air taxi services in urban areas. Joby has purchased Blade and is already running air taxi service and has partnered with Uber so that Uber customers will see Uber, Uber X, Uber Black, and Air Taxi as a choice in the app customers use today. There are models out there that show Joby's TaaS model will be more profitable than the standard aircraft model. Joby also has a significant military program with actual systems flying and being tested by the military today. Joby's hybrid JAI30 persistent surveillance/comms drone is currently flying and being tested at Yuma Proving Grounds in AZ. Joby's S4-T hybrid turbo electric VTOL just flew through transition during an evaluation for the US Army, and Joby's SuperPilot autonomous systems has been undergoing tested for automated logistics flights during drills in the Pacific. I really don't see much similarity between Joby and the other companies to be honestly. Joby also is the only one that has multiple aircraft flying with a pilot through transition in Urban centers, while nobody else even has one that has done more than a simple demonstration of piloted transition capabilities; with Archer specifically never being able to demonstrate this critical capability with a pilot to date.

AZO stock expensive AF, the workers at AZ are poors. they need to split that a million times to make it affordable for the employees.

Where's the energy? I am having a hard time being excited as I learn more about how far-fetched the idea is that there's enough energy to support them. Something like 8 nuclear power plants are needed, I read. That's just for the ones in TX nvm UT or AZ. Genuinely curious.. and worried.

Ben Felix on YouTube is great for the diversification side — he goes deep on correlation and asset classes without trying to sell you anything. On timing, honestly: if you've already got an emergency fund and you're contributing to retirement, you're in a good spot to start thinking about it. Doesn't have to be all at once. For tax liens specifically, I'd wait until you have $3-5k you don't need touching for at least a year. Pick one small lien in an online auction state (AZ or FL works) and go through the motions once. The math you learn doing one is worth more than reading about ten.

**I pulled every property Opendoor currently owns. The math doesn't work.** Grabbed their full active inventory — 2,500+ properties across 32 states. Cross referenced what they paid vs what they listed or sold for, factored in hold costs, closing costs, and very light reno estimates. Nothing crazy. Just basic deal math. Only 11% of deals are profitable. Factor in corporate overhead and that number barely moves. Now layer on top of that: softening housing market in literally every state they operate in — TX, NC, FL, AZ, SC, TN all showing rising inventory, longer days on market and price cuts simultaneously. Elevated rates aren't going anywhere this year. Their average hold is pushing 100 days and they have nearly 400 properties that have been sitting 90+ days with no offer burning carry costs daily. And the model has a fundamental problem nobody talks about — to scale you have to buy at volume. To buy at volume you can't lowball every seller. Go read the owner reviews from people who got Opendoor offers. Sellers aren't stupid. Anyone with a decent home in a decent market would rather just list it. The only way to actually acquire at scale is to buy close to market value. Which destroys the spread. Which is exactly what the data shows. So you've got: * Razor thin or negative spreads at scale * Softening markets in every core state * Elevated rates killing buyer demand * Sellers who won't take lowball offers * Corporate overhead that requires volume to absorb * A contribution margin that barely moved despite all the AI hype Q1 net loss doubled year over year to $173M. Homes sold dropped 35%. Revenue down 37% YoY. Just my 2 cents but the model doesn't work. Happy to be wrong.

You can’t look at just typical numbers with INTC right now. You need to understand the following: 1. How the semiconductor market has fundamentally changed from the last 26 years of 1/2 year to 1 year product cycles to 4+ years backlogged on CPUs NAND and Memory in general. 2. AI is a part of this but not primary driver. Yes it’s needed for all AI applications and the build out but Intel Inside is their slogan for a reason. 3. Intel today is a vastly different company than Intel 2-3 years ago. It’s essentially two companies in one and I would not be surprised to see them fully split down the road. 4. Legacy Intel products are in extreme high demand on top of cutting edge, their old written off inventory is making tons of revenue now. They are spinning up fabs/OSAT partners to keep up with legacy production. 5. Foundry is 100% critical to the success of the US dominance in tech for the foreseeable future. We offshored production in the 80s of chips to save money, it’s a huge supply and security risk to have it all overseas. It’s coming back here and INTC has the monopoly. TSMC does exist in AZ, but INTC packaging tech is out of this world and can’t be competed with. I didn’t all in because as I mentioned I’m recovering from a divorce, make good money anyways, and didn’t want to lose my shit just in case my actual research and DD were off a bit. I averaged up in shares with profits off options. I know the semiconductor market well, my original AMD 100 share buy was at 9.99 I still hold 20 of those for 4500% gains from 2016.

I pulled the cannabis investments from Chicago Atlantic SEC filings to see what companies may be next on Vireo Growth's radar. These are investments classified as "cannabis" as of late 2025 and whatever notes I have on them. Cresco, Verano, Archos Capital (Verano), Terrascend, and Fluent (now Vireo) are the MSOs. * **TheraTrue** \- Georgia medical. New CEO as of June 2025 came from Deep Roots Harvest right after Vireo acquired them. The CEO he replaced was Victor Mancebo, who is a board member of Vireo Growth. * **Kaleafa** \- Oregon. Was the partner for Eaze to enter Oregon years ago. Vireo recently bought Eaze assets. * **BeLeaf Medical** \- Missouri. Their co-founder was part of the three person team that launched Bud Light for AB InBev in the 80's. Also associated with Nature's Care dispensary in Illinois, which is/was with Acreage. * **Oasis (AZ GOAT AZ)** \- AYR assets that were first bought by AYR then sold back to the original owners. * **HA-MD LLC** \- Maryland. Ethos brand. Vireo partnered with them in 2023. * **Dreamfields Brands** \- This is the Jeeter cannabis brand. Big pre-roll brand. Just moved into New York in late 2025. * **Aeriz Holdings** \- Chicago based. Has ops in AZ and CA too I think. They do aeroponic growing. * **Kapple Holdings (Cannabis & Glass)** \- Washington. Owner is also co-founder of Iowa Cannabis Company. * **Shangri-La** \- Missouri based. Operations in Illinois, Ohio, and Connecticut. * **Silver Therapeutics** \- Massachusetts. Operations in Maine, Vermont, and New York. * **Subsero Holdings** \- Illinois. * **Elevation Cannabis** \- Oregon, California, New Mexico. * **Wellgreens 2.0** \- California. Chicago Atlantic's cannabis investments are a partnership with Silver Spike Capital. The executive chairman of this partnership was the founder of Silver Spike and was a **board member of WeedMaps until he stepped down when they announced delisting**. Silver Spike is the company that took WeedMaps public, with WeedMaps now actively looking to move into cannabis. I have been thinking WeedMaps was making a move into Florida because of their lobbying, but Fluent/Vireo might have already been part of the Florida move? Chicago Atlantic also added **Robert Beasley** as a partner after they acquired Fluent, where Beasley was CEO. He was a OG executive at Liberty Health, where Vireo board member Victor Mancebo (see above) was CEO. Robert Beasley recently took over as CEO of a **Michigan cannabis company Common Citizen**. He only operated in Florida cannabis in the past. If you look at his LinkedIn it goes: * Fluent (Jan '20 - Aug '25) * Chicago Atlantic (Aug '25 - Dec '25) - head of restructuring * Common Citizen (Dec '25 - Jan '26) - joins as CEO amid their restructuring * Chicago Atlantic (Feb '26 - present) - partner Common Citizen was also an investment by the Aphria insiders (SOL Global) in 2021. These guys were investors or strongly connected to other Vireo connected companies such as Fluent, Liberty Health, Verano, Cresco, and The Flowery. The SOL guys go way back to Liberty Health in 2017 with Robert Beasley.

Everyone dogged me for pumping Intel at 19. “Poor nana” I believe was the saying. My rationale was that a) chips act and govt backing meant they weren’t going anywhere b) Taiwan is one fart away from China taking it. Thus we need onshore fabs for national security C) a fab in AZ and Ohio (right down the road from Anduril’s arsenal 1) meant they were integral again for our national security and future And then of course when Lip Bu Tan was placed at the helm it was a no brainer. I’ll take trash talking any day to just sit and wait to prove everyone wrong ALMU is bout to do the same. See yall at the top

AllGarbage

> Any business will always be able to do random drug testing because it's the right of a business to control their workers performance. Not currently true in AZ. If the job isn’t advertised as “safety sensitive” and they piss test you, you can show the lab tech your medical card and they’ll report you as passing to the employer. And it needs to be a credible reason (job involves driving, piloting aircraft, use of heavy machinery, federal government contract prohibits it, etc), they can’t just designate every job safety sensitive. However, they’re also free to discriminate against recreational users that have no card.

Competitive-Ant2876

No no narrative, if they are 80 percent in two states and only 20 in the others than they aren’t in any position to ramp up production, besides FL and AZ. FL won’t be rec for another year or two and its medical market is already declining. AZ is already declining. So they would have to expand grows, acquire more licenses in states they aren’t in, etc. Then it’s another 6 months for buildouts and another 4-6 months for grows to even come online. The only thing I truly see Trulieve doing is acquiring a smaller operator like ascend cause the footprint layover would actually benefit trulieve a ton. My tin foil hat would like Kim to and Charlie from Cresco to go into business together or even become one. They are very close, they sit on the same boards and they are always seen together. I think with 280e going away the over hang would be substantially smaller. Cresco has started international branding, trulieve has started hemp and Cresco has the missing markets for trulieve but that’s just a pie in the sky thought. Divesting assets is probably pretty complicated in limited licsened states but then again my tin foil hat says it becomes easier as more competitors enter markets due to the removal of 280e due to more players needing assets.

Competitive-Ant2876

I’m sorry but why does everyone like trulieve? Their financials are almost as bad as curaleaf. Their cash and cash equivalents are from a refund and their utp is second highest in the industry. All while burning 250mill for a rec campaign that didn’t happen. Any other sector that CEO is gone. All while only really being in FL and AZ, both shrinking medical markets which is why unit sales are up but volume is down and new medical car applicants are down.

Superstition in AZ! 9/10 recommend but very much scrambling to get up to the flat iron

HolierMonkey586

Your 1st point is completely wrong for 2 reasons. One, a lot of states didn't slow down or stop. If anything work increased because of stimulus checks and low interest rates. And two, the states that did grind to a halt were still paying people and they were buying buying buying. I live in AZ and we didn't shut down any jobs that were "outside" so everyone took our home equity loans and spent thousands on renovations. Businesses did the same thing with PPP loans. I have and probably never will be busier than I was during Covid. It started the K economy that is still very prevelant today. The economy is booming for anyone that owned a home before the huge increases. Inflation technically helped a lot of people. Their wages increased and their loan payments stayed the same. The people that make good money but have given up on trying to buy a home until prices come down aren't saving. They are also spending... A lot. Drive through a city in a wealthier neighborhood and pay attention to how many cars have new tags from just being bought and how many workers are at those homes doing renovation projects. When that stops it's time to sell.

I took profits back around $540 back at the start of March. I don't see the AZ HQ litigation as a serious issue. AZ has historically sided with employers over local advocacy groups to a somewhat extreme degree, so I expect things to move forward in some form. A lot of the 12-month price targets all look a bit detached (sorry to say), anything $600+ seems somewhat hard to justify. That being said, I was looking for a $380-$450 band, so this drop is further than I expected. I do plan to re-enter, likely soon.

AgitatedStranger9698

If you live in easy states for taxes like AZ and do really standard ar basic deductions. You're already an idiot for using anything. But if you move into itemized and trade stocks etc. You will have the wrong form. It will mis fill it out. It will get you audit as it WILL force eyes on it. At this point I would say a better gamble would be stop paying taxes than FORCE an audit upon yourself.

I don’t know man. The US is a net exporter, but we import our refined products still and export mainly the exact WTI which you’re pointing to. The demand for it is growing fast. I’ll say anecdotally, areas of the USA which typically are serviced *exclusively* by the west Texas area (El Paso, NM, AZ) has seen an outlandish increase in gas prices relative to the rest of the country. From below average $2.50 to above average $5.05. I’m in on $USO generally as a diversifier since January (😎) so I have no skin in the Brent-WTI game I’m just counting up the gains TLDR; WTI is still in demand internationally - any oil you can get, even from the USA, is being got

There was 1 AZ left running and AWS told everyone to evacuate it ASAP. Iran hit it on Thursday and now the region is hard down. There have been a ton of posts in the various tech subs about people’s app’s being down and they don’t have a back up in another region. Anyone with any kind of governance and control is fine as they have a DR playbook they can run. It is all the small players that don’t know what they are doing that are screwed. I have had so many people tell me that I am crazy for saying you still need a DR plan when you are in the cloud.

_hiddenscout

Totally agree. The energy thing is a legit issue, but the water thing is not. Especially if water usage is a concern, then you should be more interested in the agricultural practices. Plus, there is a ton of toxic shit in the fertilizers and pesticides that end up in the water/ground water. Also when people worry about running out of water, it's like guys, come on. I get that AZ used to the 4Cs, with copper, cattle, cotton and citrus, but it might be a good idea to start talking about should this still be the case.

Way to cherry pick evidence that kinda supports your argument, but doesn’t show the whole picture. They have pipelines that [exit the state.](https://www.researchgate.net/figure/California-existing-natural-gas-pipelines-and-natural-gas-centers-hubs-in-relation-to_fig2_46444864). Geography isn’t keeping them from connecting to other places, that is fucking nonsense. Their choice to not connect for gasoline transport is a political constraint, not a fucking geographical one. Also, it doesn’t take being connected to the other major pipelines to have affordable fuel. Neighboring states like, NV, AZ and OR are proof of that.

Are you aware that no GOP presidential candidate won the popular vote in a national election since 2004? Just that election in 2024? After 20 years? I’m 42 I was in my first year of college when W won his second term, mostly bc we were in a war at that time and no one wanted to rock the boat. I DONT believe the 2024 election was stolen (though many people in my life disagree) however, saying that 2020 was an abnormality when 2024 is the only NON 2nd TERM GOP president trial election majority since 1996. Dems dominated the popular vote in 1 of W’s 2 terms and Hillary and the Dems actually won the popular vote in 2016, though Trump won the electoral college. I’m 42 and there was only 1 Republican popular vote win in a national election my lifetime of voting until 2024. Just think about that. And the GOP challenged 2020 in and out of court numerous times and even hired the “Cyber Ninjas” in AZ to audit the election- they found MORE votes for Biden. Again, I don’t think any of these elections were “stolen” in the traditional sense but what you’re saying is just nonesense and you guys should know how stupid it sounds

You have to tell someone they're going to be homeless on the real world. So are you actually ready to do that? Because they will have EVERY reason you've never dreamed of why you should not evict.

I am in Glendale AZ. I currently live at home with my father till I graduate. However, I do have a paid off 5th wheel trailer that I could park somewhere for probably 7-800$ a month. Which actually sounds really appealing for the first few years to reduce costs and try to get some more growth in place. Long story short, on the low side 7-800 and that could go up to I’d say 2500 if I decide to go the traditional route.

Body Cams after George Floyd got to be huge, but in today’s world they don’t release the footage and people don’t trust it. Axon trying to move to have retail workers where the cameras signaled desperation. But below $400’is a good buy. Might take a couple of years but I think they can hit $700 again.

I’m just speaking on my perspective, or the state of some mso’s. I like seeing negative and positive- to me debt is going to continue to balloon, and tax’s will continue to accumulate. How can you pay back tax’s when you have shrinking metrics? Curaleaf has the most leveraged balance sheet and truelieve is over leveraged in Florida, and their other state holding them up is AZ. That’s all I was saying

Why do you think that MA and AZ will roll back rec?

Competitive-Ant2876

So what’s the game plan for after final rule? Wait around another 2 years or more for uplisting or safe? Wait for new states to come online, then the new growth in new states don’t off set any mso’s flat to declining rev, then those states have price compression and wala no sustained growth. And we are back to more declining rev, which leads to price wars like we are already seeing in OH, then you have to worry about tax restructure which will kill any company in a competitive market like Michigan. Then what? Why would any “smart” money come take stake in an mso, why would anybody do anything besides trade this sector? What if Massachusetts and AZ roll back rec? Then trulieve is truly cooked, curaleaf will be the next mso in forbearance & you can’t convince me otherwise. Look at the filings, look at the failed “projects” Boris tried to do the last 3 quarters, he’s talked but not walked. Listen to earnings call and look what’s been done.

Considering they sold all AZ assets to Verano, as well as doing the same in 1 or 2 other states, they should have the money. Maybe this was their way to get out profitably for the owners?

Move to AZ big dawg

Hi from AZ. 78 degrees and sunny af 🌞❣️🌴

ABVX in buy and chill territory with huge BO rumors from NOVO and AZ, 100% premium potential and trading at the bottom of its holding pattern rn

Respect — this is how real investing starts: small capital, real action, real learning. Stocks = compounding engine Crypto = asymmetric upside Mining = infrastructure experiment Land/solar = real security asset It’s not crypto vs stocks vs real estate — they serve different roles. Honestly, your off-grid AZ land + solar is probably your strongest asset structurally. You’re not gambling — you’re building layers.

Singapore, AZ. Nice. Beautiful this time of year.

No problem at all! I opened hers in Arizona at Fidelity (only choice for AZ self managed).  The investment choices available to me were limited but actually fairly varied (target date funds, some blended funds and even a “bank portfolio” - I guess for when you need to de-risk right before college starts?).  I went with 50% S&P500 (VOO equivalent) and 50% “Large Cap International” - not quite VXUS but the closest they had. I might add a small cap component, not sure yet. But! Pertinent to you! I suggest you do some specific research before opening the accounts - because state rules differ and you are not limited to your (or the beneficiary’s) state. If your state offers a tax break - then just google how to open a 529 in your state. If it doesn’t, you might want to check out something like this (or just google “compare 529 plans by state”): https://www.collegesavings.org/529-search-and-comparison

So this is gaslighting 101 by a VKTX baggie. No stock has a bigger cult following than VKTX. How many times have you heard of ALT? My guess is few and far between - hence it doesn’t pass the smell test that it has a cult following. ALT does have a few followers who objectively look at very good science and differentiating factors that continue to be ignored by WS and bashed by competitors. The truth about pemvidutide: it’s a 1:1 glucagon to GLP agonist, which skews it less towards max weight loss (-15% in its straight obesity trial) and better suited for MASH. It had its phase 2 results (which weee excellent) published in The Lancet, has late-breaker podium presentation at the largest hepatology conference in Nov, receive BTD from the FDA for phase 3, has a new commercially-focused CEO, and is now likely in talks with a partner. Yet it barely sits above cash value. That is what ALT investors are focused on - the mispricing or deliberate suppression of the share price. The competitive landscape favors pemvidutide: it has the classic MASH and fibrosis response of other drugs in its class, but it has BIC tolerability. This is what matters most in MASH: staying on the drug. Hepatologists and GIs have repeatedly said that they are not chasing weight loss. It’s nice to have, but GLP1s that have 10-20% diacontinuations (like survodutide) are not going to be prescribed. Patients have a serious liver disease and have to remain on the drug. Pemvi has <1% tolerability, mainly due to its EuPort construction, which slows absorption and decrease max concentration. This is a large differentiating factor for pemvi. After that, its results with prescriber-preferred noninvasive tests (VCTE, ELF, PDFF) were so good and statistically significant that the global head of MASH for Lilly called them “beautiful” at AASLD conference in Nov. and now FDA is moving away from biopsy and allowing NITs for pivotal trials - right at the perfect time for ALT’s p3 design. ALT bulls aren’t trying to convening you that pemvidutide will be the number 1 drug of all time, or that it will replace all other MASH drugs. It’s simply that pemvidutide does seem poised to capture a lot of the market, has been derisked due to FDA BTD (conferring a historical 80% prob of success from a Jefferies analysis), and that every other drug entering p3 in MASH with good data and BTD has been bought for $3bn to $5bn. It’s a hot field. There are many legacy players with no presence - including GSK, AZ, PFE, and many others looking to get into the MASH field. ALT longs would simply like to see the company rerate to fair value. It’s certainly long overdue.

Sorry meant to say *book. I'm bad at not proof reading before I post. Here's the link to the book. For AZ they hold an online auction February. Other states do it differently but I've only done the AZ ones. https://a.co/d/9oqR5CO

The state of the art has already moved on. Taiwanese fabs are 2 gens ahead of those in AZ.

usa_reddit

Hope Samsung and Intel get their EUV (Extreme Lithography Machines) for their chip plants in TX and AZ already or costs for chips are going to go even higher. Time to buy more Semis.

graps2

Weren’t we already supposed to have an AZ plant? Wasn’t it announced in like 2022?

>TSMC fab in Arizona has been producing wafers at higher quality (lower defect rates) than even the fabs in Taiwan (node equivalent). Obviously. The TSMC fab in AZ is two generations behind what is current in Taiwan. They make mistakes in Taiwan, and then by the time it gets to AZ, it is a mature node. 

ViriditasBiologia

I know the feeling, shit was so rough, thank god I moved to shithole AZ, just kidding, I'd take all the chargers going to LA to live there again, fuck AZ.

zedk47

There are a lot of companies smaller than AZ in the Nasdaq 100

lurker512879

its on Intel to improve their fab output quality. if China takes Taiwan, companies that relied on TSMC are going to be looking stateside - their fab in AZ isnt finished yet.. Intel has to increase quality and output quick (if they did their stock would be higher and it shows) Samsung and Texas Instruments, Global Foundries, Micron could step up too

zedk47

Why AZ got kicked? Because they're not American?

Ok_Cry7572

Phoenix, AZ (JAN. 07. 2026)- Waymo has driven onto the Metro Rail tracks and trapped itself in the rail line. Passenger escaped and darted across roadway. But but but it's a tesla competitor lol

bearwithme23

are they still going for like 22k in AZ

Reasonable-Carrot-15

Go find out how their Fab is doing in AZ.

Pabloescobar619

I have oceanfront property in AZ if you think its only Right Now..... Corporate America had zero concern about anything earth or humanity related... their only goal is to increase profits so they can justify their jobs to shareholders... It would be awesome if I could tell you all we had to do is put our investment dollars into the few good companies in the world... Sadly Black Rock and Vanguard already own our asses.

Sharaku_US

Calls on INTC & GF. Also BTFD on TSMC. You didn't know the CIA has every single top engineering talents' name from TSMC on their list of evacuation plans when the PLA invades Taiwan? Who do you think TSMC has been sending to AZ in the thousands despite the local government complaining those jobs were supposed to be for Americans? Google the complaints that Arizona had against TSMC the past 12 months and the number of E1 visas granted to TSMC employees.

Bruce Arians ( Former AZ Cardinals coach) would say, “No Risk it, No Biscuit!” It’s my philosophy too. Except I say, “ scared money doesn’t make money!”
