Oh I do love an EG reference! Bravo!
School shootings/mass shootings = driven by mentally ill individuals MOST gun crime = criminals whose background and upbringing devalues human life and caters to kill for fun culture- EG: King Von and O block in Chicago as a small example
It’s viable - but I’m personally holding steady. We are starting to see DoD awards trickle (EG ReElement got one announced today).
"Also, the way supply/inventory works is that companies front loaded a ton of inventory, and it often takes multiple months to deplete inventory and get to your new cost basis." We've collected 30 billion a month for over 3 months, GDP "This seems to completely ignore the .5% contraction we had in Q1. You can't just cherry pick one quarters GDP and be like "See, things are definitively better than when Biden was in office!" While ignoring the complexities of GDP calculation during times when companies are not acting normal (EG, mass front loading inventory in anticipation of tarriffs, lowering foreign purchases in hopes of tariffs going away, ect...)" GDP is the annual rate that comes out every quarter. The current 3.3% is for the year. It takes into account for the 1st quarter. Inflation was 2.9% in 2024 Inflation was 3% in January We are under both at 2.7%. Will probably be around that same 3% mark, and after all the tariffs have show up on inflation they won't show up again because it's a 1 time price increase and not a constant. Will have a perfect picture after the holidays. > "Again, look at wholesale PPI and tell me that the tariff scare is over" Go look at consumer spending last month.
So many wrong/naive things with this comment. >Well we have had 6 months of Tariffs. Trump has kicked the can on our largest partner, China, for months, along with all other countries. Also, the way supply/inventory works is that companies front loaded a ton of inventory, and it often takes multiple months to deplete inventory and get to your new cost basis. >GDP is 3.3% up from last years 2.8% This seems to completely ignore the .5% contraction we had in Q1. You can't just cherry pick one quarters GDP and be like "See, things are definitively better than when Biden was in office!" While ignoring the complexities of GDP calculation during times when companies are not acting normal (EG, mass front loading inventory in anticipation of tarriffs, lowering foreign purchases in hopes of tariffs going away, ect...) >Unemployment is the exact same as 1 year ago Problem is unemployment was trending down 1 year ago, and now it's trending upwards. Huge difference. >The Inflation rate has come down from the 3% before tariffs and is now 2.7% Take a look at wholesale PPI trend and tell me this looks normal, or that this isn't the start of inflation: July 2025: +0.9% June 2025: +0.0% May 2025: +0.4% April 2025: -0.2% March 2025: -0.2% February 2025: +0.1% January 2025: +0.7% December 2024: +0.5% November 2024: +0.1% October 2024: +0.3% September 2024: +0.3% August 2024: +0.3% July2024: 0% Look at that data and tell me that it didn't take tariffs a bit to hit inflation...tell me that this data looks good. >There is absolutely not one sign at all that says recession Again, look at wholesale PPI and tell me that the tariff scare is over.
You have negative contracts as you borrow it, the goal as an options seller is to provide liquidity to the options market (cant buy options if no ones selling them). The reward is that contracts decay through the passage of time (theta) meaning sellers are incentivised to sell contracts for theoretically a postive expected value business model, think an insurance company. Then when you want you can buy it back bringing your inventory to 0 contracts. EG, Stock A at $100. I sell 1 put option at the strike of $95 meaning that the buyer is hoping the contract falls past $95 by expiration. If by the expiration the price of the stock is above $95 I profit from pruchasing the same contract back which is now cheaper (eg price is $97 so I pocket $2 per share of stock) the contract will also be worthless by expiration as why would I buy 100 shares of stock for a higher price than it already is. If the stock price is below strike price then the buyer will excercise the contract (can be early with US options, only at expiration with European options) meaning they will buy 100 shares of stock at stock price and sell it at the strike price, someone needs to buy those which ends up being the seller meaning In this scenario I would be forced to 100 shares of stock at the worse price (eg if stock is at $93 and strike was $95 I have to buy at $95 but the price is $93 meaning im already down $2 per stock owned). Which shows the risk of selling. Essentially Buying options - low chance of profit but big wins with small losses Selling options - high chance of profit but small wins and big losses (which one you do can VERY SIMPLY be determined based on implied volatility whether the contract is expesnive or not - thats a deeper rabbit hole though) Then the theta gang rabbit hole begins when you discover spreads, selling volatility, etc Probably got carried away with this response but I hope you learnt something. Its very important by a minimum undertsand the greeks and how they interact with eachother. I would also encourage you to research the Black-Scholes pricing model + volatility pricing from there you can form some pretty good strategies.
EG reference in WSB got me thankin
Sudden lack of ability to cope with stress leading to medical issues. So I've worked in high stress environments for my whole career but suddenly things seem to be affecting me much more, and have started triggering various medical problems (EG shingles). Workload etc hasn't been worse than it has in any recent years so there's no reason why stress should be worse, but I and my body just doesn't seem to be able to cope with it anymore, and it's really starting to negatively affect my work. Anybody here been in a similar situation and have any insights on how to reduce the impact of the stress on the body back to normal levels, or at least stop the stress triggering anything medical? Many thanks in advanced.
My old Canadian prof often pulled this out when he went on one of his “back in my day” rants. Did the annotations always say this…? (A is years of panic?) I remember it differently as I was always taught to read this as: Be watchful during down periods. EG: 2007-2012 mid period cycle down trend. 2019-2023 was Covid and look to buy during up periods. I never remember it being used as a precise top indicator. Never really kept it in mind but always funny looking back at it and thinking “yeah I should have avoided those years,” but that might be just the human brain on viewing perspectives. Never did bother trying to find any papers or work detailing if this ended up being a good strategy or not.

I'm thinking q3+ the damage to the US economy will start to hit. So, I sold MSFT, AMD and some other tech plays, and shifted to 1 share of SEB Seaboard. Seaboard is a shipping and agriculture conglom. I see it as a transitionary stock to transition from bull tech run to a potential recession. They focus on pork. I'm noticing pork sales are going up as beef is becoming too expensive. (Even walmart is starting to sell a ground beef/pork mix to lower costs for folks wanting beef but can't afford 100% beef prices. They're literally cutting the beef product with pork to dilute it down like it's a drug.) SEB is like $3500/share. I see the major tech stocks starting to cusp a bit. So, decided to pull the trigger and make the shift. I'm still holding NVDA. I think their earnings are going to be fantastic, but, once again, the market will find a reason to pull back on them. That said.. I bought ALAB before earnings. Got 25% return in 2 days. Astera Labs is working on AI chip designs and what-not. I think specialty work in the AI, ML, Data Sci world still has untapped potential, and ALAB going up reflects that. I just think AMD and NVDA (and MSFT) need time to cool. Another play I made as I switch to more recession-oriented stocks... 1) I bought online gambling stocks.. Draft Kings, Sports Trader, Flutter, Rush Interactive. Vegas and casinos and destination gambling is dying as tourism dries up and folks tighten the belt. But, people will still find ways to gamble, esp as economy tanks. There will always be folks wanting to find a score to feel like their luck is looking up, even if it's a small score. Online gambling is accessible, easy to buy into, etc. 2) I'll probably buy auto parts stocks again in a month or two. Maybe in Q4. I had Oreilleys early this year, and it went up when you know who started doing tariffs and there was a huge wonder if the market was gonna insta-crash. But, then it staganted as folks got used to him messing around. But, now we see the long-term damage to the economy coming down the pipe. We see the long-term damage he's done to US auto makers. Folks in hard times don't buy cars, they fix them. Auto parts will go up as economy goes down. I'll probably do Autozone instead of Oreilleys, b/c Autozone seems to be doing better. I sold Oreilleys after an earnings for some ROI, but it's just not doing as well as Autozone. A longer term play I did was MBOT and Intuitive Surgical who are both working on micro surgery bots. Basically they go on the end of the lines they put in your veins, and surgeon can remote control the bot via wifi. The surgeon doesn't even have to be in the same room or country. As long as they can remote in they can control the bot. I think we're seeing major turning points with wireless surgery bots, and these things will be something that will expand as 21st century keeps going. The stocks are currently down, b/c everything healthcare that isn't tech seems to be getting dumped on. (EG HIT, Healthcare in Tech is a tech stock that is doing gangbusters right now. Vanguard wouldn't let me invest in them, so I missed the bus on them. But, biotech, robo-tech, etc.. other healthcare stocks seem to be getting dumped on, perhaps b/c of the changes to medicare/medicaid and the rising cost of healthcare.)

Then you ignore the gov't and listen to the consensus of companies in the market. Companies pay for their own analytics as well as looking at govt analytics. If govt analytics is no longer reliable, then companies will just go with their own third-party analytics. And investors will just listen to the companies and determine what consensus they see. EG: this earnings season I think we're starting to see a consensus of strong q2 earnings but caution for q3 and beyond. Companies don't give caution unless they're trying to bs and set themselves up for a good q3 earnings or they could all be going "uh oh, economy looks rough ahead, batton down the hatches". Investors ignoring the cautions are ignoring a valuable piece of information.
you're a retard, only reason this even worked is because $OPEN had a bunch of retail fomoing into other stocks with high short %, EG KSS. its probably not going to $30
I find the trades by looking at reddit a lot. There's knowledgeable folks on here. We get inundated with the usual "guys, I think Mag 7 is the best thing to invest in right now!" posts all the time. But, occasionally someone will post about some company. I try to do what I call a "basic bitch 3 SWOT analysis". 1) are they doing anything innovative that would make them an "order winner" on their own level vs just an "order qualifier" competing with others on same level 2) are they partnered with anyone big helping them? EG: Nvidia partnered with Blackberry to leverage QNX for vehicles. Nvidia, AMD and Intel are all 3 partnered and invested in a private company that's working on photonics and a chip that can let you pool gpu's as if you're just working with one massive gpu. If that company wasn't private I'd jump on it in an instant. 3) does the company have contracts coming down the pipe? Real money coming down the pipe This basic SWOT analysis weeds out a lot of penny stocks / startups, b/c they're going through the valley of death. I also leverage what I know. I'm into tech, so I look a lot at tech. But, I also follow politics and business. So, I see if the politicial or business landscape will hit a company some way and create an advantage or problem. you just have to look around, read posts, read non-investment sites for the industry you're in (eg: Ars Technica for tech news, b/c they talk about what companies are doing, not how they'd be a good or bad invetment). And then ask your self if what you hear makes sense and if it'd be a good move to invest in. EG: when AMD was like $1/share back in the day, everyone was saying it was dead. But, the news I read on Ars Technica said AMD signed contracts with both Sony and MS to make APU's both their next-gen consoles. No way big players like Sony and MS would sign contracts with a company that's dying. I bought AMD on the console news at $1.50 when folks were saying sell AMD. Was forced to sell it at $3/share when I went back to college full time to get student loans. When Deepseek news came out, a lot of us in tech knew it was a lot of hot air.. how Deepseek was blowing the socks off things and "zomg!" I got home from work that night, and noticed all the tech/ai stocks tanked. I pulled them all up as a shopping list, and went on a buying spree. I got 20%+ ROI's next day or two from the bounce backs. When trump has been going on and on threatening tariffs, I see what sector it impacts. I notice it goes down. I buy the dip. He then has a pullback. I sell after the pull back. B/c what I've noticed is sometimes he'll mad tweet and threaten them again causing another drop. So, I want to maintain my gains. He's threatening drug companies next. "30 days to lower drug prices or tariffs!" Drug companies have been down. I need to buy in soon, b/c he'll prob tweet about it next week. One person on reddit said they just pull up the top 100 on S&P 500 and look for any having a "bad day".. a dip. Buys them. Sells them when they bounce back. Then moves the money to the next dipper. There's various strats to try. It's easier to find another company that might go up 5-10% in a month and then sell than it is to pick the next Apple or millionaire maker. But, folks don't look at statistics. They act like they're being scientific in the market, but then ignore statistics and try to buy the bottom where it's in 3 standard deviation territory and 1% chance to hit the bottom and try to time the top which another 1% chance to do so in 3 standard deviation territory. I'm looking at the inner 1 standard deviation from the average, which gives me a 68% chance to find something that's dipped and will go back up 10%. It's easier to find things making minor dips and bounce back. Folks trying to shoot the moon or guess the next apple / nvidia are just playing the lotto based on the odds of doing that correctly. But, they get miffed when somenone points it out.
Remember that when you export from the EU you do not pay VAT but when you import you do. You also face import tax and VAT. Most cars brought into the US use a free trade zone to assemble the car and are then imported at zero duty. Tax is managed to put the profit in a tax free location like the Bahamas. EG When importing a car to the EU from outside the EU, you'll typically face a 10% import duty and a Value Added Tax (VAT) of 19-27%, depending on the specific EU country. The US import tax on a car is/was 2.5% before negotiations started. So \~30% charge in the EU v 2.5 in the US.
Exactly! Prices always either stay about the same....or go up. What ive been trying to explain to people is that even if some companies do in fact somehow relocate manufacturing back to the US....it will still mean the consumer is going to pay a huge hike in price. EG: Company A makes XYZ products outside the US, therefore pays a tarriff and as a result raises prices 50% per item to cover. Company B makes the same XYZ product and is also paying the tarriff, but decides to move manufacturing back to the US. They now are free from the tarriff increase. If the consumer is forced to choose between the 2 companies, isnt company B going to price all their goods at a 49% increase still anyway?! Why wouldn't they - they are technically still the consumer's best option - yet all the savings from reboarding back to US is going to go to them......not the consumer. Like the consumer can choose company A at a 50% increase , or company B at a 49% increase.....company B is never going to leave that margin for the consumer to save - they will just eat it as extra profit!! The same way that they say a price increase will always roll down to the consumer - a price decrease will always be eaten up by the company's profit margin!
Holy fucking echo chambers dude. Dear leader is actually cancelling free speech, and you ignore it and blame biden..... Trump is ridiculously anti free speech. You are free to speak well of him, and you are going to jail if you speak ill of him. He actually said, in a press conference, that it should be illegal to be critical of him. Seriously, you cannot make this shit up: https://www.yahoo.com/news/trump-calls-opponents-jailed-dark-212235567.html?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS8&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAABYgBqR1EG3rfyHEDhlh-ZclkWdFLSh_-ljK34qoyq5mbinQGiCb4cJAY898fXHzJEM0DTG3UvY6NLhqTykfQlgW4IPLndAvE2qzEwgSWpIqOemCtbrgxY3btXbzRZ7tLIbB7OTp3r4wwzUC5F4sUABvQ3JlqnhwAtY3zCdM9ZG- You are a blind sheep who put all your faith in an egomanical, grifting, lying, traitor. You are either Russian, or a traitor yourself.
Trump has setup a pattern where he talks mad shit on a thurs/fri then a big announcement happens on a weekend. They've been doing this, so insiders can make a killing. When he took office, he was doing it like every week. But, they damaged the dollar, bonds, etc. So, they pulled back and now seem to be doing it every month. Early April. Now Early May. I think they'll keep doing it. They've had a nice pump. They'll setup another dump eventually. They're treating the stock market like a money printing game they found the "infinite money cheat code" for, and they're getting pretty good at it now. I thikn we'll see something happen early June. They "paused" other tariffs for 90 days that I think are coming due in June. Their goal, I think, is to have every sector shuffling around like on a stove. Get the tech sector to pump-n-dump while other sectors are recovering. Then shift to a different sector. on and on. Tech sector is recovering nicely, so they'll probably get back on their bullshit with that soon. Big pharma is on the table right now. That could be the next play. He wants to tariff drugs but also expects drug prices to go down. Good luck with that. Unless drug manufacturers can magically and instantly startup drug production in the US, then whatever drugs import to the US will get slapped w/ tariffs while also expecting company to lower prices. That's basically a big "FU" to the drug companies. Trump has lost weight, so he's probably on a wegovy or something, and sees big money in his eyes if he can screw with big pharma. Since economy is doing well, they may setup another pump-n-dump later this month. They slwoed to once a month when they damaged everything too much. But, things are "Recovering", so maybe they'll pickup their pace. Basically... if he starts yapping about "omg, big news soon!" on thurs/fri, you need to start looking at what stocks might be impacted by the scuttle-butt going around lately. EG: I knew China was on the table last week when he was yapping. I bought shipping stocks Friday. I got a 10%+ ROI today as folks bought them up from the "deal". It's the same BS all the time. They're a one trick pony. They'll keep riding and beating that horse as long as it keeps making them money.
I did already You got attributed preconceived opinion that is not based on reason or ones actual experience. That has always been racist past century.

''To be less white is to: * be less oppressive * be less arrogant * be less certain * be less defensive * be less ignorant * be more humble * break with white solidarity'' Should i explain how this is racist as well? Its racist because it equates negative traits like arrogance, oppression, defensiveness, and ignorance directly with being white, while suggesting that positive traits like humility require being less white. This reinforces harmful stereotypes and implies that whiteness is inherently linked to negative behavior, which is fundamentally discriminatory and prejudiced. Moreover, it frames white solidarity as something inherently negative that must be broken, which further invalidates collective community support and identity. It also attempts to define and dictate the behavior and identity of white individuals based on stereotypes, which is both offensive and reductive.

I’ve visited a few times over the last 7 years or so. It’s absolutely insane the rate of progress there. Every time I go back things have significantly improved. The public transport is insane, the maglev is crazy, high speed rail between cities is sooo convenient, easy and just really fucking great. They have some of the most futuristic cities I’ve ever seen, the cities are covered in trees, abundant pedestrian areas, bike/scooter lanes which are wide and comfortable separated from the roads, making cycling WAY more safe and easy. Like, I’m not saying they are free from problems, but fuck, my city, hell most of my country has barely changed in that time, and we are a rich country. Main differences I can think of is we have been building a very small area subway 100 years later than we should have for like 10 years (due to open next year lmao), a whole lot more town houses… Um. Yeah mostly the town houses. Some minimal city upgrades. And most of it is because people are fighting anything that’s generally good for general people every step of the way and are saying the money should go back to rich people because they’re important. EG the current coalition in power got voted in to “fix the economy (solve inflation lmao) and their answer was tax cuts for rich people and slash any and all government spending their able to while simultaneously wasting a fuck ton of money on dumb shit (like bootcamps for teen offenders, despite everyone pointing to the mountain of evidence that that shit is not effective at all). And surprisingly they’ve been awful for the economy, the landlords that got tax cuts are struggling to fill properties because nobody can fucking afford them. Any government that tries to actually improve shit has to fight tooth and nail, and hope that the next doesn’t just reverse everything anyway to give tax cuts to rich people.
you will have to pay short-term capital gains tax. I think it's like 22%. I have a spreadsheet that tracks all my gains, and I just run the total through 25% tax just to be safe. EG: I've gained about $5000 from short-term sales this year. $5000 \* 0.24 = $1200 $5000 - $1200 taxes = $3800 actual in my pocket I use Vanguard + Turbotax. When tax time shows up, Turbotax will import Vanguards tax forms (usually they have them done late Feb). It'll tell them all my transactions, my gains, etc, and Turbotax will figure out the tax. This last tax filing time, I owed like $800 in some sales I did late 2024. You have to keep some money and pay it when you file your taxes. This is why some folks prefer to find stocks to hang onto for a long time. If you hang on for 1+ years, then you pay long-term capital gains at like... what.. 10%? Gov't wants to incentivize people to buy and hold.. be real investors. But, some of us like to hop-scotch our money around. I would rather shift my money around getting a 5% gain on it every week in stair-step fashion then have my money sit one place and get 25% return over a year. The 5% returns add up to be more than the 25% return. Trick is you then have to make sure the amount you get makes the short-term capital gains tax hit be worth it compared to the long-term capital gains tax. I mapped it out on a spreadsheet, and I think I found that a 5% roi every week beats a 25% roi for year even with the tax hit. But, in this market, it's been hard to get that next 5% gain. I've got a list of stocks that tanked and haven't recovered. I may tax loss harvest them later, but I'm interested to see how things play out on them. I don't want to sell for a loss. But, then the opportunity cost of my money sitting on a lame duck and not working some place else grows and grows.
Correct. You realized a bunch of gains and some of that money is Uncle Sam’s. If you don’t pay estimated taxes there will be penalties. I would just in one lump sum in June to keep it simple, but it may be possible to split it. Spend some time on irs.gov if you want to learn more. If you decide to just pay one lump sum, first determine your marginal tax rate based on typical W-2 income plus your unexpected capital gains (https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/irs-releases-tax-inflation-adjustments-for-tax-year-2025). If you are married, don’t forget to include income from your spouse. Then, pay that portion of the capital gains. EG if you have net realized gains of $200k, pay 0.24*$200k=$48,000. If you realize more gains later in the year you will have to make additional quarterly payments. Depending on how your income falls into the tax brackets you may want to consider using the rest of the year to harvest losses and preserve gains for the 2026 taxes year but that is additional complexity that is probably only worth doing if you expect your total income in 2025 to be right around $400k. Feel free to PM me if you want more details.
Is there a way to find the best banbet traders? EG someone who is 50-0
They do. And their quality is awful. China sells 50cc & 150cc scooters like hot cakes. They have like 2-3 major manufacturers of them but hundreds of resellers. The scooters use the japanese GY6 motor, which is patented. China's been ripping it off for decades. But, the build quality is awful. Poor metal causes engine fissues and leaking oil. Bolts rust off, etc. China's quality has gotten better, and they can make quality goods. But, only when they're absolutely forced to. EG: iphones are good, b/c Apple pays for quality build process and materials. When left to their own devices, China will rip off a patent then use the shoddiest materials possible to and as many cut corners to expedite the build. If they can get away with it, they'll just take some old POS and just slap a new sticker on it with a name-brand. All these fake SSD drives.. they come out of China. They slap a USB drive in an SSD case and sell it as an SSD. They're masters of this stuff. They've been doing it for ages. They have very little consumer protection, and it's all about "who you know" (guanxi) to protect yourself, your business and your friends/family from getting screwed by others. The tariffs on china are basically just forcing US to look for another source of cheap labor.. Russia being it. Everything Trump and friends are doing is designed to funnel business to Russia to get their economy back on its feet so they can keep up the war and move on Europe.

 🤣🤣🤣 did mot think I would find a perfect gif
I didn't cash-out fast enough. But, I have a spread of stocks that are going up and going down. I'm going to let things ride. I'll prob cash-out things going up some, b/c Trump wildly swings on things every week, so something that's up today can be down tomorrow. And folks band-wagon jump on something to sky-rocket something that was down and I try to cash-out when I get the jump and a small % increase. EG: he said US will invest in minerals, so my US Antimony suddenly jumped. I'll prob cash-out of it soon, but I'm hesitant since they pretty much have a monopoly on antimony mining in the US.. and Trump's isolationist policy is going to give US Antimony a moat. But, any new money I get coming in... I'm shifting over to just DCA'ing into VOO some.. but also saving up a lot of liquid reserve. I want to be prepared if Trump really goes full facist on everything, and have money to try to make decisions. Of course, it's all just digital numbers, though. So, they could decide to freeze the financial assets of tons of folks after DOGE has harvested a lot of info, and decides to screw folks who might try to use their assets to leave the country or fly to a protest. So, I feel like all I'm doing is just saving up for them to freeze and confiscate my assets based on whatever dumb EO's or laws they pass that decide to shave off another portion of population for round-up. Time will tell.
Nah man. I personally would not do it, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't either. EG i know you can make nice money in the china market, but i avoid it too. Same with "electric currency". I know you can make money, lot's of money, but i personally don't like it. So there's that
You realize those sources on Wikipedia say the opposite, right? Egypt still doesn't have the SCALP EG missiles, or the avionics they requested to use that missile class. In 2018, they were told no. Five years later, they got a hollowed out Rafale... according to your own source you didn't read.
That's not for the jet itself? Did you even read it? It's for "French Scalp cruise missile". The jets themselves only have a few non critical components made out of France. The rest is entirely French. That was a requirement by Egypt to have the jets equipped with those specific weapons which is what blocked the sale. But the Rafale have multiple other options Edit: it's actually worse than I thought. Your article is super outdated and essentially irrelevant. France concluded a deal with Egypt for the sale and actually managed to arm the with the missiles, but without the US components LMAO "In May 2021, Egypt ordered 30 more Rafales in a contract worth $4.5bn after France achieved making the SCALP EG missile [ITAR-free](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ITAR) by replacing the US-made parts with French-made components"
This is one of many examples where the broad concept of Trump and/or Elon is valid, but few people trust the competence of Trump to implement the change correctly. EG - Okay, let's have more internal factory production. The first step isn't tariffs and then just hoping everyone figures it out. The first step is building factories here, and then giving people plenty of warning there will be tariffs on those goods once the factories are up. Or, if you're legitimately concerned about fentanyl, then don't pardon the Silk Road guy. Elon, you're probably right that just like in every company, there are federal employees that don't really do anything. But changing that is far more complex than just sending an email and assuming everyone will go along with you (especially since your name is now associated with Nazis). Changing that culture requires actual leadership.
I would agree in your thesis around XOP. There will need to be a cyclical rotation out of the MAG 7, which has attracted the majority of the worlds investments, and into value stocks (EG XOP) alongside a change in the (incorrect) narrative that world oil consumption is decreasing. Soon enough fund managers will need to buy value, as growth or momentum stocks will no longer out preform. The ESG narrative for large investment funds will also undoubtedly change, which it seems that Trump will help change. The concern I see that you have is that over the last 12 months (3 years? 10 years if you ignore the covid collapse and recovery) XOP has gone nowhere. This will all take a decade to unfold and for investment ramp up. Patience is key.
gold and diamonds do have uses beyond just holding value though, that just adds to their value. EG they’re both kind of assets and commodities. You can buy gold to park your money. You can also buy luxury things that are gold. You can also use gold for its high ductility and conductivity for wiring, circuits, etc. A bitcoin doesn’t really do anything other than be a bitcoin.
what aggression? Prime Minister Anthony Albanese stated that the activities are consistent with international law and pose no imminent risk to Australian or New Zealand assets* [Albanese said the fleet had on Friday alerted Australian officials that it may start conducting live fire drills, and that ships and planes should steer clear. “This is activity that has occurred in waters consistent with international law,” Albanese said. “There has been no imminent risk of danger to any Australian assets or New Zealand assets, and that’s why this notification occurs.”](http://doc.afp.com/36Y67EG)
Eww. 
You would make this so much simpler just saying you have a SPY call spread. It is intermetal to know what ticker to recommend the next move. SPY has been trading very much in a range for since about a month after the election. One option is to buy to close the short 585 and sell an April 17th 592 for a small credit. It seems like SPY is going to keep chopping until either a new tax bill juices the market, or a trade war comes to fruition and spy corrects. If you have buying power available, you can move the strike price higher and sell some SPY puts. Super risky right now and guessing that you bought leaps you don't have the buying power. If this is a small account. I would be included to sell the leap calls that you have some profit in, and buy back the short calls in one transaction and take the win. Right now you are looking at early exercise or pin risk that can blow up your small account to shreds. EG SPY close over 585 on Friday, but Trump decides to up China and North American tariffs to 100% immediately. SPY tanks down to 565 and then you own 2K for each short call assigned over the weekend. The broker will buy back shares pre market and likely liquidate your long leaps at open. Chance of happening is 1% but it is definitely non nil. TLDR; TAKE THE FUCKING WIN and close out the position tomorrow morning. Futures are looking slightly up. Especially if you have multiple contracts.
Biggest risk is if Trump uses defense procurement as extortion method on other countries. EG: won’t sell weapons or parts to Jordan if they don’t take Palestinians. He just needs to threaten it and it will hit the foreign sales of arms because countries needs a reliable supplier.
APP has investments in basically every app and game in the play store, they also have investments in both Unity and EG(Unreal Engine). They essentially bought the stake in said apps and make them use their platform only. Both are completely incomparable, that's why APP is absolutely shredding through their earnings for the last 3 quarters
ANIC owns 25% of Meatly and they're the only publicly traded company of it's kind, not just in the UK, but the world.

Numbers across the board often have an asterisk next to them to explain how they're not counting something. EG: unemployment rates dont' count the chronically unemployed or underemployed. Folks that have been looking for a job for months get dropped off and forgotten about. Folks with college degrees that have to resort to flipping burgers, b/c there's no positions in their industry ... get forgotten about. I'm not a finance or market genius. I just go based on the signs I see, and I also spent years as a marketing analyst. When I see 1 person on reddit complaining about the job hunt, I consider that person to represent thousands of other folks that don't post. Sort of the "when your company gets a letter of praise or complaint, it represents a thousand other people that wouldn't take the time to write the letter." If things are so bad folks are complaining, then things are bad. And when those complaints are that the tech sector is in a glut, and folks are going months w/o finding a job and having to resort to other lesser work. thats' bad, too. I also noticed all the stocks seem to have dropped except for the tech/AI stocks. The tech/AI boom carried a lot of supporting stocks up.. construction, supply, industry, etc. Those have dropped. Maybe it was a temp increase for infrastructure build-outs. But, to me, it signals that maybe the AI boom is riding on fumes. If the AI boom was bolstering a large part of the market, and folks are losing interest in AI, then we'll see retraction. I noticed Google and Microsoft both got hit during earnings recently. Normally I'd jump on those, but I feel they're overvalued and due for correction. So, I worry about buying at a peak just to watch it slide next few years. It just seems like the grapevine notices that we're moving towards harder economic times, and the market has yet to catch up.

$2k in January wheeling HOOD with $4k. But that was massive luck. I was studying crypto as a leading inducator for HOOD, which it was until algos erased that. It's much easier to make gains with $25k and sniping daytrades. Backtested most strategies have a 30% success rate between a 3m to 15m chart. I needed to figure out how to get another 30% and tbh things there aren't any leading indicators unless you have inside info. EG there are folks that know when Trump tweets that buy puts.

Large institutions that maintain index funds use algorithms to rebalance the portfolio to maintain a weighted value on the more valuable stocks and less on the less valuable stocks. EG: if it's an S&P portfolio, and there's enough sell-off of AMD or Nvidia that it causes them to slip in the S&P, then the automated algorithms will kick in and sell off Nvidia and AMD to maintain some actualized gains and then take those gains to go buy whatever stock moved ahead of them. The algorithms are probably more complex then that. They're not exactly bangin rocks together. They're using machine learning to find patterns and shift money around to try to help investors maximize gains. When you have multiple institutions all with their own version of an S&P 500 index fund, then what it really comes down to is which institution has the better automated algorithm that can min/max the gains the best. That's why you see slight variation between a VOO vs a SPY S&P index fund. Plus, the big selling point of ETF's was that they were automated. The institutions had algorithms automating all the buying and selling on the indexed stocks for them in order to drastically reduce maintenance fees. So, when you see something like DeepSeek show up and it creates a panic sell in the market b/c morons are freaking out and trying to actualize their gains real fast, they might drop a stock price to a point where automated algorithms on MASSIVE institutional index funds kick in and auto-rebalance portfolios. This MASSIVE sell off and repositiniong of money can drop the stocks further. Then idiots in the market think "omg, it's true! It's dropping more! SELL SELL!" and basically the moron sellers and the automated systems are playing a secret tennis match dropping the stock prices. Now, take into consideration there are MULTIPLE MASSIVE INSTITUTIONS that each have their own funds doing automated rebalancing, and it can get ridiculous. All of this automation lead to the 2010 flash crash, where lots of autoamted systems keep auto-selling, noticing priced dropped further from otehrs selling, then selling more until the market almost crashed. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010\_flash\_crash](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010_flash_crash) This is when SEC, institutions, etc all realized they need to put some heavy checks-n-balances on this automated stuff to prevent massive crashes. We still see this with earnings calls today during bull market. Almost all "biggest losers" I saw on google finance last week were simply companies that had a less than spectacular earnings call, investors go "f u, I'm selling" and then enough gets sold that automated systems kick in to rebalance portfolios making large companies have stock prices losing 10% overnight. This is a good thing when you notice it, and can buy the dip the next day and catch the rebound. But, when we see massive drops in stock prices, it's not b/c of panicing investors selling off individually. It's from huge giant institution automation noticing some ants pancing over a picnic, and the automation kicks in to create a massive effect.
The issue with open source in the past is usually all the low hanging fruit problems have been solved. The next level harder problems to solve have smart folks that can solve them looking to get paid to solve them, so they go work for a company to solve them. That's why a lot of open source projects, EG: in the linux world, are folks reinventing wheels that already exist and have worked for a long time. They want to "do" something or "make something better", but the projects often lack someone smart enough to take it to the next level. What we're seeing with deepseek is someone basically took that next-level smart stuff that companies have been keep closed sourced as proprietary, and just dropped it out in the open for all to see and use. And, apparently it turns out to perform better. That doesn't mean the closed-source solutions are obsolete. They can learn from the open source verison and incorporate ideas.. often there's white papers going along with something, and the company has to code up their own way of doing it instead of stealing code, or, depending on the open source license, tey can incorporate it as long as they attribute the code they're using. DeepSeek is a win for everyone. It fast forwards AI software to better take advantage of AI hardware. Often there's standards committees formed by tech companies to come up with ways they can all benefit and create open source standards while each company uses them for their own closed-source tech. This short-term panic is from people that don't seem to understand how deepseek impacts things. It's a good thing. IF anything, it's going to escalate AI more and free up some of these more expensive chips to be used for more expensive operations now. The AI cloud/server infrastructure is already there. There will be some testing and shift to using cheaper infrastructure where possible, then that expensive stuff can be dedicated to more science and r&D stuff. This is a good thing. But, people are dumb. And the sell off kicked the large institutional funds automated algos to kick in and sell off to reposition their portfolios. It's created a massie circle jerk that will need a week or so to die down.
"everyone has a plan until they get ~~punched in the face~~ see a stock they sold keep going up." mike tyson I had similar idea. Buy a stock, sell at 10%+ roi that comes in shortly. Take principle + roi and invest in something new each month that gets another 10%+... compound that roi each month to get bigger gains than just camping one thing for a year and getting 25% roi. But, over time you realize you have different stocks that need different plans. If you bought a small player that has really good growth potential.. then hold it. If you bought a massive player that most folks hold long-term, but it's hit a plateau.. sell it maybe. I've got a portfolio of stuff I'm looking to flip, some looking to grow a bit, some underdogs I hope will grow a lot, etc. Just set goals based on what you'd like to do for each stock. EG: I got BB in the $2's. It's in the $4's now. I'd really like to sell it, but I bought it b/c it's an underdog, it's taken MS' and AMD and NVIDIA's interest, and I think it will rise big time in next year or two. So, I'm holding it. I got LUNR. Got it at $16. Sold it on a rise to $21. Figured it was overvalue. Then bought it at dip to $17 again and now it's $23. I'm tempted to sell it, but the space companies look like a new boom market and I want to see what happens... not just to the stock price, but to the company doing cool stuff. Don't kick yourself if you see a stock keep rising. What I'm seeing with earnings calls coming up is investors are VERY snobbish. An earnings call says "We did ok, but not spectacular" and suddenly the stock plummets overnight. The market is very volitile with investors thinking there's tons of other unicorns to jump on and ride to victory. Folks have various ideas about selling.. one person said sell off to get your principle back, then let the roi ride. I think I might do that w/ blackberry.. b/c I have other stuff I want to invest in and money is stretched thin. Don't beat yourself up, and don't try to use the same strategy across the board. Sometimes it's better to get your gains and get out and move on. Sometimes the thing goes up after. Sometimes it goes down. Never know.
I got you big bro. Gene Instagram/tik tok works on levels of irony. You’ll get means that are ironic versions of already ironic memes, etc etc. Anyways, those who know originally started because of memes that would present an event or news or picture that seemed normal but had an underlying message or meaning. EG- You might see a picture of a young Hitler, where he doesn’t look like hitler. the meme will then say: “Wow, what an average looking german boy” the next like will say “Those who know 💀” It’s quite cringey, and eventually people started mixing it with other memes and lines, and it degenerated to the point where just saying those who know is a meme. Hope that helped.
 Fine, turn 40% of that into TSLA / NVIDIA / META / GOOG leaps on whichever AI stock u prefer, another 30% into VOO and 30% into one REIT for monthly dividend income (EG: arbor) and by 2029 you can retire most comfortably. Unless you do cocaine and lambos
Some lessons i've learned doing pretty much this exact thing: Diverify across companies and industries. I recommend working at least 3 tickers. Run both sides of the wheel on each ticker at once. EG: Sell CSP and own 100 shares and sell CCs. Upswings and downswings pretty much tend to average out this way and your profit is more consistent with less volatility. Start with a smaller portion of your portfolio till you get the hang of it. Use your premiums to buy more shares and then wheel those too. It snowballs fast.
Ok. Provide that source that states democrats did more mail in than republicans please. But to reiterate, you don’t think, at the height of a pandemic, the party whose followers tend to be more progressive and health compliant (EG: got vaccinated, quarantined, stayed at home instead of going out) would have more mail in voting than the other party who strayed towards anti-vax, didn’t care about wearing masks, etc…? And by your own accord you say trump will have more mail in voting this time around. So what’s stopping me from screaming at the integrity of his mail in ballots? Theres no pandemic this time around. You get where I’m coming from? How crazy it sounds to say election fraud just because voters chose to pick a simpler method of voting during a pandemic?
CEO’s father is selling. Garcia III is CEO but EG2 is the money behind CVNA. Had to invest $1B when they tanked 2022 so he’s probably just taking back some of that investment at a casual $17M/day

let's be honest guys NVDA and other AI stocks are pretty much hyping the future, here's an [AI healthcare video by nvidia themselves](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g632EG9s1Mc) most of this shit in the video we already have.. wow teledocs, using data science to diagnose people, AI for appointments WOW, the only cool thing was detecting falls

Last quarter the majority of $7k gross profit per vehicle was due to CVNA re-selling their loans. EG II owns Bridgecrest Credit Company which originated loans to bad credit borrowers, shady AF.

Somewhat new to this sub and personal investing outside of index funds and retirement accounts. You are clearly way more knowledgeable on your investments and the market as a whole. But I'd say, assuming your 50 stocks are somewhat diversified, you have created your own personal index fund of sorts. In an ideal scenario everything booms and you see colossal gains, but on average your likely to see less than ideal results. Given the time and effort it sounds like you have put into it, it might be slightly more ideal (to you) than any other index, but your time/effort doesn't matter to the market. If its something you like doing and there is weight within each of the 50 stocks then I don't see an issue. If you have 10-15 stocks making up a large percentage of your portfolio, I might consider reducing the smaller impact ones, or at least reducing your effort with those. Might makes sense to employ some type of threshold to make each investment more worth your time. EG. either make your all of your 'gems' worth it or reduce your footprint to your top tier gems.
Go to sleep EG! it's late!

Now let me tell you one thing my friend, buy KULR shares. KULR is in touch with growing fast demand of EG batteries. They are partnering with TOYOTA and there are rumors about partnering up with RIVIA. NFA.
I consider myself a value investor, I think its absolutely overvalued like crazy right now but I'd rather not argue about it. Its around 80 times earnings, 40 times sales, 60-something times book, its absurd. Sure it might have a few quarters of good growth, but how long till the data centers and AI infrastructure is built out and they no longer can post the absolutely monstrous growth numbers? Whats their contract with TSMC like? There are a lot of risks to the stock that I feel aren't being priced in, its seemingly priced to absolute perfection. EG not a lot of meat left on the bone for people investing now. Just my 2c and I very well may be terribly wrong.
Thank you for your reply :) It seems I'm confused by the terminology of "short call", as I thought the options to short an asset were called "puts". I have seen call options betting that the asset value would be lower than the current market value (EG. A "call option for NVDA with a strike price of $9XX when the current value was $10XX). Is this a "short call", and how does it differ from a "Put" contract? I absolutely mixed up "market close" and "expiration", thinking that both occurred at the same time. My broker (Wealth Simple, and from what I've read, this is common?) will exercise ITM options 30 minutes prior to market close, automatically.
I don't think you need to go that far to do a basic screening. Of course you can do a very deep dive, and probably should if you are looking at very small businesses (where value alpha is available). But in general if you just want to value tilt most of the advantage comes quickly by just avoiding crap. Look for stocks with below market P/E, P/D, P/S, P/EG, P/B, P/CF... If most of the factors are fine, you are good. If you want a bit more: https://procapital.mohdfaiz.com/books/books-image/mainBook/Fundamental%20Analysis%20for%20Dummies.pdf If you want moderately more: https://www.amazon.com/Investment-Valuation-Techniques-Determining-Finance-ebook/dp/B007MF15VE If you want a lot more it will be vertical specific. That is valuing insurance companies is different than valuing manufacturing companies is different than valuing advertising agencies.
Plus between Xpeng and Nio, Xpeng has the ability to pay off it's debt 3 times over with cash on hand, vs Nio has been bullish in EG production, but has massive profitability issues. Meaning, large investors are more likely to get on board with Xpeng in the near term between the two main Chinese EV companies.
Spreads & naked calls can have very similar risk profiles. What's more, max profit is far less likely than max loss. Spreads are often the case of "win 10% 3 out of 4 times - but when you lose, you lose 90%". Calls are "lose 99% 3 out of 4 times, but one out of 4 times you will double". In both cases, your money is heading to zero. Would you go to a casino with those kinds of odds? The best advice you'll get - stick to plays where you can put time back on your side if you lose. EG: selling puts - they get converted to stocks if you lose, which you can then hold until price recovers (hopefully it does recover). EG: sell call spreads while also owning the underlying. If the underlying breaks the spread price, then you can sell the long call and leave the remaining position as a covered call. > Are there spreads that will net me 100% with low risk? No. 100% return is a huge return. Risk & reward are correlated, you have to take a huge risk to get that kind of reward. Not all risks & rewards in stocks are commensurate. You might have to take a very outsized risk to get that reward. Trying to get rich quick in the stock market will most likely make you poor very quickly.
You should tell us the ticker, option, strike price, and expiration. If you purchase an option before a big event, and the stock goes up but not up as much as the option was expecting, that's an IV crush. EG earnings. You buy an option with strike price 110. Stock is at 100. Stock reports earnings, stock goes to 105 but the option expires at the end of the week. The big event that could move the stock is over, option value goes down. IV crush.
Literally all major brokers offer them (EG, Charles Schwab, Fidelity, TDAmeritrade...) Personally, I use and recommend Fidelity. Literally just call them, or any major broker, and ask them to help you open one.
Not a financial advisor but I have one and only one piece of advice. Have an exit strategy. Think about why you bought this, what you expect from it and be ready to exit if you reach your goal, or if there is a very low chance in your mind that you will ever reach your goal(EG the CPI comes in way under expected and SPY is up 10).
Entirely depends on how things go each day and I will reevaluate then. EG if SPY is up 10 on Monday, I sell and take my loss asap. No chance at paying off. If Iran bombs Israel and WWIII starts, I hold until Friday afternoon guaranteed.
I don’t have any idea what has and hasn’t popped yet in the AI boom. But if you are looking at data center infrastructure, what Vertiv provides is only one small piece of data center operation. For electrical utility redundancy you need generators such as MTU and Caterpillar. They typically service their own equipment as you reference with Vertiv. Raised floor systems or structural ceiling systems for power distribution in the data halls themselves - EG Tate via Kingspan Group. HAC systems to direct hot and cool air - EG Legrand. It is a race to build these facilities, so anything that speeds the construction process - such as modular construction or bubble decking with concrete as a couple examples.
They definitely pivoted in their policies after a brutal first 18 months. But the MMT wing of the blue team wants inflation. In their view they can inflate the debt away. In their view government spending/deficits don't matter and are in fact good. And many in the Biden administration are known MMT'rs including Janet Yellen. https://www.masterclass.com/articles/modern-monetary-theory?campaignid=20647728921&adgroupid=161385380344&adid=676956386850&utm_term=&utm_campaign=%5BMC%5D+%7C+Search+%7C+NonBrand+%7C+Category_DSA+Consolidated+%7C+ALL+%7C+EN+%7C+tCPA+%7C+EG&utm_source=google&utm_medium=search&utm_content=676956386850&hsa_acc=9801000675&hsa_cam=17057064710&hsa_grp=161385380344&hsa_ad=676956386850&hsa_src=g&hsa_tgt=dsa-1456167871416&hsa_kw=&hsa_mt=&hsa_net=adwords&hsa_ver=3&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwk6SwBhDPARIsAJ59GwcK1g82bEMlKuEojiZi_bLawM7_cJ6bgu1KgaxQBUi2Ztm8W8ztUeEaAvHyEALw_wcB#7hSp1YDzMlWx35daR7uf8T
You could look into dividend options strategies. EG, imagine it was a stock approaching a large, ordinary dividend (so the calls are an assignment risk and puts are inflated).
sell my AAPL for loss, sell EG for small profit and invest in FSLR, wanna try and catch a winner for a change. FSLR has backlog orders through 2026, let's go Solar, yeah!
Yes. But it is harder to separate rational decision making with emotions. EG. How do you define cheap? Because it fell 50% from your purchase price ? Or because it has fallen far below what the company is worth ? The other question you need to figure out is what are the catalysts/drivers that will make the share price recover assuming you figured out what cheap is. The danger is this: if you bought at the all time high, and it fell 50% because competitors are sharpening their knives to enter the market, and you don’t think the company can fend itself in the long run, then why would you double down? (Aka throwing good money after bad?)
Anyone been holding / watching FlyExclusive ( FLYX FLYX.WS ) ? FLYX has gone from $6.60 on February 9 to close at $18.24 today, on average daily volume less than 20k shares. FLYX.WS warrants at 47 cents. FLYX filed the [S-1 registration statement](https://www.sec.gov/cgi-bin/browse-edgar?action=getcompany&filenum=333-276627&owner=exclude&count=40) for the common shares underlying the warrants on January 19, no updates since. Warrants can't be exercised until that becomes effective. Unless ... from the warrant agreement, section 7.4.1: "[If any such registration statement has not been declared effective](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1843973/000119312521178696/d37313dex41.htm#:~:text=If%20any%20such%20registration%20statement%20has%20not%20been%20declared%20effective) by the **sixtieth (60th)** ***Business*** **Day** following the closing of the Business Combination, holders of the applicable Warrants shall have the right, during the period beginning on the sixty-first (61st) Business Day after the closing of the Business Combination and ending upon such registration statement being declared effective by the Commission, and during any other period when the Company shall fail to have maintained an effective registration statement covering the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, to exercise such Warrants on a “cashless basis,” by exchanging the Warrants ... " Business combination closed "[On December 27, 2023](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1843973/000119312524001570/d557329d8k.htm#:~:text=On%20December%C2%A027%2C%202023) (the “Closing Date”), EG Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (“EGA”), completed the previously announced business combination ". Think today is around business day 47 after the combination closed, and sometime around March 25 the FLYX.WS will be cashless exercisable, unless the S-1 becomes effective first. Of course, when the S-1 becomes effective that might trigger a sharp sell off of FLYX and put the warrants back underwater.
New to options. At what point is it wise to profit off a contract that has not yet hit the strike price? EG. Got a AMD contract 220 expiring 3/22. If I sell now, I could profit but is there a point in time that I should cash out and re-strategize or what’s the rule of thumb? Thanks
Or... They'd just be forced to shift... I don't know why you think these massive companies sitting on a shit ton of cash with no global competition would shit the bed in the a recession... They'd be posed to weather it better than anyone... You think people are just gonna stop using apple, MSFT, and google? Also the US and Canada are sitting on massive oil and gas reserves still... We export the shit... You think it's hard to make fertilizer? natural deposits of phosphorus sure... The rest not hard, and there's already Stimi bucks/grants to reinforce the domestic market similar to chip manufacturing. And again... Potash... is in Canada. Plus some of that fertilizer isn't actually essential to grow. It's an aid not requirement... Which means yields would be lower short term. However all those things especially phosphorus can be extracted through other means... Because it's not just a free element. EG: Human urine... Like they used to do in the old days. Or le ocean... (Where all that extra fertilizer runs off to and causes issues.) It doesn't go away it just goes to other places.
In the book The Sirens of Titan, a character chooses stock tickers based on the letters making up the words in the Bible. “IN” “TH” “EB” “EG” “IN” “NI” etc Could be interesting how it actually plays out for your project.

Lol $EG reported the greatest earnings they ever’ve had and its down 4.5% after hours… took a large position on it too
You see this? [https://stkt.co/EG6V3weD](https://stkt.co/EG6V3weD) they are getting things worked out. Hospitals just don't go away. They are vital for communities, someone else will come in and fill the shoes or a new banker will come in and restructure the hospital. Either way, we get back rents and rents going forward.
They are working through their issues. Once this is corrected the shadow over MPW will be gone. ​ [https://stkt.co/EG6V3weD](https://stkt.co/EG6V3weD)
With this news, the Diamond Hands need to buy the heck out of this stock. [https://stkt.co/EG6V3weD](https://stkt.co/EG6V3weD) Once the financing of Steward is taken care of we will get all back rents and future rents. If they do as planned and sell of some of their hospitals it will be operations as normal. This should go back up to where we were before the sell off. If we get 1 million investors to just buy 1000 shares, or 3200 dollar purchases we can drive those shorts to the cliff and run them off. Love the dividend and when it gets raised back up in a year or so it will be a great source of retirement income.

The real question is an Herbal Life tea shop in anyway better than a generic tea shop? Do customers seek out Herbal Life tea or is it better than independently sourced tea. My suspicion is that your sister could find better and cheaper tea sources on Alibaba and other wholesale suppliers. IMHO Alibaba would probably give access to high quality teas that might not be available in the US. EG [Tea on Alibaba](https://www.alibaba.com/trade/search?spm=a2700.product_home_newuser.home_new_user_first_screen_fy23_pc_search_bar.keydown__Enter&tab=all&SearchText=tea).
>America is rich so they can afford to do stupid bullshit like high taxes, pensions and tariffs, but all of this bullshit shoots us in the foot. A poorer country couldn’t get away with all of this dumb bullshit. Capitalism works if the rules are fair. If you have slave labor in one country competing with a county that finds this illegal -- you wont have a free market. EG. It would be like everyone playing baseball, with established rules.
