If you find yourself in a hole, step one is stop digging. You don't have to keep digging/putting your paycheck into the sp500 at CAPE Shiller of 40.5, you could 1) put it into VXUS with a PE of about 15 and easily own 6000 foreign companies 2) into 100% safe cash - SGOV at 3.85% with no risk of any capital loss (Buffett has been doing this for 4 years now, with 382 Billion in T Bills just waiting for a crash - he is an ok investor) 3) a collection of BDCs/mREITs/CEFs earning around 10-11% 4) gold/silver ETFs which often outperform in recession or stagflation 5) real estate syndications - get 15-25% checkout passive pockets youtube channel, and biggerpockets website 6) Oil/Gas MLPs, like ET/EPD/MLPX 8-10% dividend yields alone about 100 other things that are easy to invest in and not the sp500 :)

Well, I just hit midlife too and I sold all my ET but kept PAA and SHEL so good luck to the both of us (and yes, I’m already down on my PAA position 🫠).

drew-gen-x

I will have to look into $AROC and $EFXT. I lazily picked $HAL because I owned & traded it quite successfully from 2021-2023. I prefer the pipeline stocks for natural gas. Natty gas futures fluctuate so much I'd prefer to just collect the toll paid to the pipeline stocks like $KMI and $ET who pay fat dividends.

drew-gen-x

I posted my bullish call on crude oil below. I also bought $KMI and $ET, which are diversified midstream natty gas & crude oil energy companies along with $HAL for crude oil & natty gas service & equipment infrastructure and $OXY as more of a pure crude oil position. Natty gas is very much a big part of my bullish call on the crude oil stocks. I know you are big into electrification. My point is the traditional energy names will be needed to build & maintain the electrification infrastructure needed for such an energy transformation. And historically all new major energy adoption names have supplemented and not replaced the prior era's main energy sources. They add to it since our energy consumption continues to explode exponentially.

There's nothing wrong with getting out of the way of this train wreck. I've done more buying the last 2 days than I have all year combined.

It maybe old school investing, but I have always liked investing in energy & gold. None of these Scam Altman AI circle jerk stocks can do a damn thing w/o being powered by energy.

They said alot of shit as you can see by their 2022 IPO. They said during that same presentation that everything has been going according to plan since the beginning, something I reacted on, because obviously it has not. Now, nothing ever goes to plan, which is normal, but acting like it does, is just weird. Everyone was expecting them to licens their chip blueprints. Now they going into HVM, thats a clear deviation from the original plan. [https://beammwave.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/BeammWave\_ET.pdf](https://beammwave.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/BeammWave_ET.pdf) Mobiltelefontillverkare som exempelvis Samsung, Apple och Huawei har egen chiptillverkning vilket gör att även dessa är Bolagets potentiella kunder. BeammWave kommer att ha följande intäktskällor: engångsintäkter som erhålls vid uppstart av samarbete med en ny kund samt licensintäkter för chip och mjukvarualgoritmen. Uppstartskostnaden kan ses som ett projektarvode som varierar för respektive kund och avser täcka kostnader för support, utbildning samt överföring av designen. Licensavgifterna erhåller Bolaget i form av en royalty per sålt chip. Kundernas genomsnittliga försäljningspris per chip uppskattas till 1 USD där Bolaget förväntar sig att kunna erhålla 5–15 procent i licensavgift. Bolaget uppskattar att kunna börja generera projektarvoden under 2022 och licensintäkter i början av 2024. Bolagets affärsmodell kommer att utgå från en standard IP-licensieringsmodell där Bolaget säljer sin teknik till chiptillverkare. Dessa chiptillverkare producerar sedan chipen enligt Bolagets ”recept”, och säljer vidare till smartphonetillverkare. Bolaget kommer att generera intäkter i två faser. Den första i form av en uppstartsintäkt, som faktureras för att täcka kostnader avseende bland annat överföring av designen och utbildning kring BeammWaves teknik. I den andra fasen genereras intäkten i form av licensavgifter för de sålda chipen. Den mjukvara som krävs för Bolagets algoritmer för beamforming kommer också att licensieras enligt samma modell, både till de chiptillverkare som licensierar Bolagets chiplösning och i vissa fall direkt till smartphonetillverkare.

Nasdaq is formally seeking SEC approval to extend trading hours to 23 hours a day, five days a week, starting as early as H2 2026. The new schedule would feature a "day session" (4 AM to 8 PM ET) and a "night session" (9 PM to 4 AM ET), with a one-hour break for maintenance. This push aims to capitalize on surging global demand for US equities and allow international investors to react instantly to news. Other major exchanges like the NYSE and Cboe are also exploring extended trading hours. Today, December 16, 2025, the Nasdaq Composite was weaker, down around 0.6%.

Reuters reported at 2a ET - Exclusive: BOJ to pledge more rate hikes at next week's policy meeting, sources say. Why does it matter? Japanese yen was available at near-zero interest rates for years. You could borrow it and then invest it and pocket the difference between the return and the interest. This is the "carry trade." What is going wrong? The Bank of Japan has been trying to normalize the rates. It tried in August 2024, leading to a sudden "carry trade unwind" where borrowers have to undo their investments and pay back their yen. The exchange rate is part of the equation as well. If the yen suddenly weakens against other currencies, your investment gains can be wiped out by the currency exchange risk. The new government has pledged to spend more, which means some inflation pressure, which means more rate hikes incoming. It's not the only factor for the drop, but I think it does explain some of the more speculative assets unwinding first, and now the next wave (more recent AI gainers).

Oracle Can’t Escape OpenAI’s Shadow ChatGPT parent still accounts for most of revenue backlog, while capital spending surge shows no signs of slowing By Dan Gallagher Dec. 11, 2025 at 5:30 am ET After five decades of selling enterprise software, Oracle ORCL 0.67%increase; green up pointing triangle has amassed a lot of very large customers. But never before has the company’s fate hinged so closely on just one. A lot has happened in the three months since the world learned of Oracle’s deal to provide $300 billion worth of artificial-intelligence computing services to OpenAI. That was just one in a string of expensive deals signed by the ChatGPT parent, which currently generates less than $20 billion in annual revenue. OpenAI’s aggressive growth expectations backing those deals look even more ambitious after Google last month launched its powerful Gemini 3 model, which outperforms the latest ChatGPT on benchmark tests and has compelled OpenAI’s leadership to proclaim a “code red” within the company. As OpenAI is privately held, investors have responded by selling off other companies with significant exposure to the startup. And few have been punished as hard as Oracle. Ahead of its fiscal second-quarter report Wednesday afternoon, the stock had plunged 32% over the past three months—the third-worst performance on the S&P 500 for that period, according to FactSet. That is a particularly brutal turn for a company that was nearing a $1 trillion market cap, on the premise that AI computing was going to double the size of its business over the next few years. Oracle hasn’t backed off that goal. But the company’s latest report also didn’t settle the growing anxiety investors have about what it will take to get there. Revenue grew 14% year over year, Oracle’s best quarterly growth in nearly three years, but came in slightly under Wall Street’s forecast. Oracle also added nearly $68 billion to its revenue backlog thanks to new deals with customers like Meta Platforms and Nvidia, but the company had already tipped that news during an analyst meeting in October. The biggest surprise turned out to be the wrong kind. Oracle spent a record $12 billion in capital expenditures in the November-ended quarter, which was far higher than the $8.4 billion Wall Street was expecting. It also boosted its full-year capital-expenditure forecast from $35 billion to $50 billion. Oracle’s downtrodden stock lost another 12% in after-hours trading Wednesday. An annual capex bill of $50 billion might seem light relative to what some of the other big tech companies are sending out the door. But that equates to 75% of Oracle’s projected revenue for the current fiscal year, a staggering amount considering that capex has averaged about 17% of annual revenue over the past five years. Meta Platforms—the most aggressive of the megacap tech companies in its relative AI investments—is expected to spend about 36% of this year’s revenue on capex. Oracle’s investment isn’t just to service OpenAI. But the ChatGPT owner still accounts for the majority of Oracle’s $523 billion in remaining performance obligations, which refers to contracted revenue not yet recognized. And that revenue backlog is nearly nine times the size of Oracle’s current annual revenue, a far greater ratio than at competing cloud providers Microsoft, Alphabet’s Google and Amazon. Microsoft, which is OpenAI’s main computing partner, has a backlog that is only about 1.4 times as large as its revenue over the past four quarters. In other words, most of Oracle’s growth over the next few years still depends on OpenAI. That won’t be easily diversified, since few others can afford to commit to such sums. And it is far from certain that OpenAI will be able to fully live up to its commitments, especially if AI demand falters overall or ascendant challengers like Google and Anthropic supplant ChatGPT’s position. In a note to clients last week, Gil Luria of D.A. Davidson said Oracle needed to use its quarterly report “to address concerns about the tricky balance of borrowing money to build out capacity for OpenAI, with the new understanding there is very low likelihood OpenAI will live up to its obligations.” That didn’t happen. Oracle now has burned a little over $13 billion in cash over the past four quarters and has about $88 billion in debt net of cash—a sharp contrast to the net cash positions of its big tech rivals. In a report last week, Moody’s noted that “Oracle has the highest exposure to OpenAI and has the weakest credit metrics among investment-grade hyperscalers.” Oracle did say Wednesday that it intends to preserve its investment-grade rating as it finances its AI buildout. But investors are clearly tiring of seeing the money go only one way. Fin

That’s how it used to be. TSLA is one of the few tickers that now has 0DTE options every single day (Mon–Fri). They drop them at like 3am ET and they expire at 4pm the same day. Just pull up the chain in whatever broker you use and you’ll see expirations literally labeled: Dec 10, 2025 (0DTE) Dec 11, 2025 (1DTE) Dec 12, 2025 Dec 13, 2025 (weekly) etc. Same for calls and puts, full strike range. Been this way for TSLA (and SPY/QQQ) since mid-2023 when the exchanges started daily expirations. So, every morning you can sell a put that dies at 4pm. That’s why the theta on these red-day + green-overnight setups melts so fast, literally hours of decay instead of days. Welcome to the casino!

President Donald Trump is expected to announce a $12 billion farm aid package at a roundtable on Monday, a White House official told CNN. Most of the aid — $11 billion — will be directed toward crop farmers through one-time payments under the Farmer Bridge Assistance program, according to the official. The rest will go to farmers whose crops fall outside the umbrella of the assistance program. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins will attend the roundtable, which is scheduled for 2 p.m. ET at the White House. Corn, cotton, sorghum, soybean, rice, cattle, wheat and potato farmers will also attend. The farm aid announcement details were first reported by Bloomberg, but Rollins hinted at the bridge payments at a Cabinet meeting last week. Rollins suggested that it was not the impact of the Trump administration’s tariffs, but rather Biden administration policies, that have caused farmers to need assistance. She credited Trump for opening the markets through trade deals without directly acknowledging how tariffs have impacted farmers. “What you’ve been able to do is open those markets up and again, move toward an era where our farmers are not so reliant on government checks, but have the markets to sell their product. Having said that, we do have a bridge payment we’ll be announcing with you next week, as we’re still trying to recover from the Biden years,” Rollins said. “For so long, our farmers, many of them, have been farming for government checks instead of moving their product around the world. These trade deals change that forever,” Rollins said. Some farmers have previously balked at the idea of aid. Mark Read, District 5 director for the Illinois Soybean Association, previously told CNN, “Farmers don’t want free aid. We want free trade.” This was before China agreed to again purchase soybeans from US farmers after turning to Brazil and Argentina amid a trade war. In late September, Rollins said the farm economy, and especially row croppers, was facing “a significant challenge right now,” calling the impact of Trump’s tariffs a “time of uncertainty.” “The president’s commitment of a ‘golden age’ for rural America, for our American farmers and workers, is just around the corner, but he has been very clear … that there could be a time of uncertainty, especially for our farmers and ranchers, and it’s clear we’re in that time of uncertainty now,” Rollins said at the time.

Nope, literally 0930 ET - Bell Opens > Premiums Update. Key sign is if you see .48 - 2.38 \~ wide spread. or .32 and the underlying closed at 680.00 but after hours its trading at 685.00 but the premium hasn't changed. It's all a guess until market opens.
