I’ve come back from a LOT more than that. Keep your head up dawg, it’s just money
I have 1,000 shares I have followed this as closely as a dentist pulling teeth daily for a long time I truly believe it’ll be 400+ per share by summer and maybe 450 by end of year even So many positives this year for the turn around story an Wallstreet likes to price things in instantly I do believe we will see cautious guidance for the moment but by end of next quarter or two a LOT of smoke clears
For the last year bears have been preparing for a stock market crash. They have missed out a LOT of money. People posting 6 months ago selling all their stocks, they're down right now.
Yes, you can always learn. If you understand the stock market (sounds like you do), it’s just added layers of complexity. There are A LOT of moving parts with options and a lot of different strategies you can use. If you like following the market and are mathematically inclined you can make a lot more money than just trading stocks. That said you can also lose very quickly if you don’t know what you’re doing. Study up, maybe “paper trade” for a bit. I’ve just learned in the last year and once it clicks it’s amazing! (Someone else here mentioned, don’t do 0dte, unless you want to gamble for fun. Focus on longer time frames, you don’t need to hold the whole time but they don’t drop as fast when the underlying goes down). Have fun! (And make 🤑)
I see your point. But again, the stock price will be based around the deal, if it goes through, the market is now buying into the potential. Disneys acquisition of 21st century fox didn’t work out well because they acquired the parts of the company that made it a bad business. Netflix is leaving that out. Their limit for revenue growth hits a new ceiling after the deal. Not to mention Netflix loses A LOT of money buying streaming and licenses rights, with this deal, that is free cap space and the market will come to realize that and all jump in at once. I truly see this stock being 110+ by April
There's still a LOT of time if you want to make real money. Just buy and hold.
Which is a bummer because when you zoom out a few clicks, you realize there are A LOT of people out there who given the opportunity would happily pull off each one of your toenails off while watching in glee and yet Americans somehow see their neighbours as THE threat. Comfort and years of effective propaganda from every corner of the world really makes you start splitting hairs I guess.
OMG that's A LOT. Robinhood gave me nothing..
How many landlords own 12+ units/properties?? Uhhh, a LOT
She cooks me dinner every night. I eat a LOT of cake.
That’s A LOT of money to gamble on 0dte options.
Similar to my take. However, I don't think it's strictly about replacement of workers, more like a different, new kind of "worker". Just like how the tablet didn't replace the PC, but we can't imagine life without a tablet. That said, a LOT of companies will waste a shitload of their money on this before it's all said and done. Next edge for Investors is to find out which companies are worth it for good reasons, and which ones aren't. Common denominator for all this stuff though, is energy. US critically lacks energy, so whoever finds the next best energy solution will be the winner of 2026 and beyond imho
Since ample reserves regime became official in 2019 yea basically. And prior to QE in 2008 tail risk was A LOT higher than today.
As you can see, I sold SNDK puts and got like $150K in premiums up front. So my account had like $235K in cash, and I just bought 3 month treasuries. I make like $150 a week on those, completely risk free, no margin interest applied to anything unless an assignment occurs. Now with Schwab, you can get way better portfolio margin EPRs compared to Robinhood. Basically if you have $100K, on robinhood you might be able to sell put leaps that are deep OTM with a nominal value of $200K. But Schwab? You can go up to like $800K, as you can see I've done here. If you sell leaps, you get so much cash up front you can buy treasuries. If you sell shorter dated options, you don't get much cash up front so you can't do this treasury arbitrage stuff. Also, my SNDK puts are at 210 and 200 strikes. My break evens on these are like at $170. Even if this stock drops 30% in a month idc, because the strikes are so OTM. The trick is to sell really deep OTM puts, using a LOT of margin. The premise is simple. Let's say I gave you $1B. You could make $40M a year buying treasuries, right? The same premise applies here. You use excess capital but use it in ways that are not risky. It's risky relative to the capital you have, but relative to the capital in absolute terms it's actually less risky than buying index funds. But we can't buy index funds on margin like this w/o taking on margin interest, so selling puts like this and buying treasuries is the best bang for your buck sub $10M. After $10M? Brokers like Schwab become more tight and won't loan you like $80M. They have diff requirements depending on acc size. Same if you have $1B, they won't just let you borrow $8B if an assignment happens.
Still +10% over a month. It has A LOT of more room to fall
5 year production deficit, China has banned export of silver, Samsung is putting out their solid state battery soon which uses A LOT of silver. No, its not crashing, and experts are saying $250 in 3 years because demand is only growing from electronics
“Content is made by others” is not a marker of quality. There is a LOT of garbage quality videos on YouTube.
I think ..in your eyes ..he's going to get A LOT worse. In my eyes, I think the republicans need to keep an eye on him. He's done good so far but I'm starting to get a vibe that he may be on a tipping point of going too far, way too far.
Yeah I'm up 80% in the last week it's insane. The Don David gold mine had way better than expected production results. So now they have $25 million spare and no debt. They are also producing a LOT more silver and that's on fire these days. Went from 800,000 ozs in 2024 to 1.4 million in 2025. She's still cheap boys and girls.
This isn't the "bazooka" but it's gonna piss Commander in chief Cankles a LOT
The amount of lossporn on the main page is not enough. After all the ASTS/RKLB gainsporn I expect to see some red also. Come on, I know there were a LOT of Meta call holders that bought after the dip the last earnings report! Please show them!
The universe owes us A LOT
I LOVE Greenland. Always have. HUGE ice. I love Greenland more than Greenland loves Greenland, which is A LOT. Incredible ice, very loyal ice. Nobody appreciates frozen land like I do, scientists say that. The penguins (VERY smart) came up to me, tears in their eyes, said “Sir, thank you for loving Greenland so strongly.” Frankly, it’s an honor for THEM. Greenland belongs to me. Not in a weird way—in a VERY LEGAL, VERY DESERVED way. I earned Greenland. I respected the ice. I understood the ice. Other leaders look at Greenland and see snow. I see DESTINY. Frankly, Greenland and I have a connection, many people are saying it was ALWAYS supposed to be mine. If you love Greenland, you love ME. Thank you for your attention to this matter! -President Donald J Trump
NVDA has been trading within range and has gone essentially nowhere for half a year. The fundamentals haven’t changed. It’s bound to make a move to the upside eventually. Just block out the noise and keep holding. In the future remember, the easy money in NVDA has been made. It takes A LOT more to move the needle on a 4T stock like NVDA than it does in a small-mid cap stock
Don't waste your time. A LOT of Americans don't understand that there are things more important than money.
I used Paypal A LOT back between 1999 thru 2005... There are SO many better options out there to use... I haven''t used it since probably 2015... so that tells me what I need to know about it's use case in society. They became irrellevant.
I have a huge amount of interest in making a LOT of money today. Already have IWM puts that I bought at close on Friday.
The problem with China's tech is the government. If Europe creates good alternatives with strong data privacy protections, that's going to attract A LOT of use.
how would anyone know this. just sayin... that's a LOT of supposedly
Because they had supply chain issues and Eli Lilly ate their lunch. But they're well ahead on release of this pill, AND their pill is 1) cheaper, 2) more effective. People just haven't caught on that a LOT of the market was held back by the obscene price of Ozempic and the need to inject it. I think we're about to see an explosion in usage akin to the first burst, but a whole new audience of pill users.
It's a massive industry, "sex sells" has been a phrase since forever for a good reason. Even if just 5% of porn consumers pay for it, there are A LOT of people who watch porn.
Based on A LOT more, posting on MLK idiot
Wage growth> inflation, unemployment, value of the dollar and the CPI trend matter a LOT more than GDP. GDP is useless as a positive metric if unemployment, lower class spending and wage growth are both going down
5 inches is A LOT. More than anyone would need
The fact that you bring up countries that lost in WW2 is weird. We are talking about willingness to act not if they were victorious. Indeed the European military is weak, I even said so in my first comment. It has been the American agenda that they should be the sole military super power after WW2. It’s been part of how they have had power over Europe. Everyone one of your previous presidents understood that Europe was part of the American hegemony but now that Pax America is unraveling quickly in realtime Europe is scrambling to adjust to the new reality. That does not mean Europe doesn’t have teeth. Militarily Europe have no leg to stand on. As an economic super power we still have the equivalent to nukes to deploy, especially against America since the ”deal” in the American hegemony was that Europe back America influence every economic decision on the world stage and America will handle the military might. You should read up on Roosevelt post war designs. Again to reiterate, I’m not saying anything about victory, I’m talking about mutually assured destruction without actual nukes being used. There is no way America survives if Europe decides to crash American economy. We own to much of your state bonds and your currency and stand for to much of you import / export for your economy to survive. And once Europe dumps American assets the rest of the world will panic sell to not be bag holders and to china and other actors that are no fan of USA will capitalize and try to make their own currency into the world currency reserve. USA have A LOT of enemies around the world which makes the act of attacking allies so very very stupid.
LOL health insurance/ car insurance/ home insurance/ food does not feel up by three %. It's a LOT more and wages aren't going up! But hey If Trump says 3%.. your wallet must be lying to you!
Or, conservative administrations have sucked at improving the economy--not opinion, fact. The market is up but the dollar is down, and it's down A LOT.
Except I think the DXY roleplayed a "LOT" less than people like to think involving last year in propping US markets. I think there's a better chance than many people like to think that part 1 of the market correction had remnants of the Yen crisis from summer 2024 ridden all over it...then part 2 was all on Trump. If tech does what I think could be possible involving 2026, the likelihood of a fresh secular bear market starting in Trump's term is fairly low. He will be handing tough economic circumstances to whoever is the next president with Medicare/Social Security probably needing to be addressed in the future (which has a much better chance of being GOP than reddit.com likes to think), but you'll have to ask me in 2028 if whether it'll mean a secular bear market is handed to the next president or not.
There's no way the bond market can defy gravity forever and they all know it. It's already Wile E. Coyote hanging *waaaayyy* over the cliff. But you're right, none of them can just exit on a dime. There's not enough exit liquidity for one of them much less all of them. So they need a plan (a LOT of plans) to bring the burning plane gently to the ground...ideally without letting the other passengers (ie, Americans) onto the fact their plane is on fire and there's no saving it. But anyone can see this is happening if they simply follow the wonky financial press. Not the "money" shows like Fox Business made for the rubes, but the real financial news. Massive burst in real trade deals around the globe all centered around excluding the US. Massive burst in gold reserve and exchange structures being fleshed out, again to the exclusion of the US. Massive burst in weapon system deals looking to cut out US suppliers. This all started happening during the first Trump regime, but leveled off with Biden. With Trump 2.0 it's taken off like a rocket as the world has realized that Trump 1.0 wasn't an accident, that turning the US into a toxic shithole *especially* when it comes to finance isn't a mistake it's the plan, it's the point. They'd all certainly like to have more buffer time to shift a century of international economic momentum to the new non-US centered system, but Trump's insane Greenland gambit may well have them all slashing their economic umbilical cords much earlier than they planned. But they've had a decade to see this coming and so most of them are about as ready as could ever be. The next few weeks (maybe days...) will likely be some of the most interesting times the world has ever seen. China didn't invent that curse for nothing, after all.
Except they aren’t callable, so that would be useless. All they’d be able to do is sell them (at a premium) in the open market. Which would affect interest rates, but also make a LOT of banks and investors (not the gamblers on WSB) extremely happy, as they’d be getting free money based on a desperate attempt at crashing the global market
I disagree, while what gets announced or proposed goes well beyond reason, what gets actually applied always remains within some """"reasonable"""" range. Hence the "TACO" saying. And there's been a LOT of gains, exactly in the pockets we'd expect to see growing. Hell, even WSB's finest don't want to jump on options after his tweets, look at the mood here, I see sad people expecting a flat market.
EU is the biggest consumer of US tech. EU is literally the reason the US gets to have multiple multi-trillion dollar tech companies: EU is buying all of the tech products. Alphabet, Microsoft, Meta etc, all make massive parts of their revenue from EU markets. The EU right now is discussing the option on banning or heavily restricting access to US tech in retaliation, which would absolutely destroy the US markets (and yes, it would hurt the EU a LOT as well).
With Europe? I can see why with China but Europe has a LOT less leverage. There are some double edged sword things they can do that Reddit is frothing about that hurts them more than US. But even bilateral 25% tariffs we won’t bat that much of an eye I guess the Supreme Court can intervene and he might respect their ruling. That is the TACO scenario.
In 2021 I wasn't allowed to open my business at 100% capacity. I was FORCED to take a shot if I wanted to work, the government ducked me a cost/opportunity of 460.000€. In 2022 a war between brothers happened. Ukraine and Russia young men began slaughtering each other. Inflation rised. Basic products (food mainly) increased A LOT. But hey what's government enforcement and mandatory vaccines and a war killing 100 of thousands of men compared to Trump's mumbles?? Somo of you guys arw so r dumb
Man... you don't need to be an elder or a veteran in investing to remember how 9 months ago THIS SAME NARRATIVE, was everywhere, and then market soared A LOT. And some of the Mag7 stocks did more than well.
That an expensive freaking option. $60,000 is a lot of money for option, and any option that pricey means you stand to lose some serious money if something really goes wrong. Like, if you are selling a CSP on a $600 dollar stock, there's A LOT of room for it to fall. In reality, anything could happen.
Im just a guy from Ireland, but im able to look at this completely indepently and remind you there is more than just left and right wing Americans on reddit. You are missing out on A LOT of money. Of Course USA stocks should be the backbone of your portfolio but if you can do some research trying to ignore your bias (which I know is near impossible, bred into you Americans from day 1) you will invest in China, even if you dont want too for moral reasons. But I yhink being American you can look past that now. Ignoring space stocks which are on a ridiculous rise, 40% of my returns last 2 years have been Chinese stocks. And the deals Europe and Canada are gonna be making with China... get in before it's too late.
Reading other subs and WSB, there are A LOT of people with false hopium on how this won’t affect the markets lol. That proves to me too many people are over leveraged and desperately trying to cope. A lot of people will be destroyed on Tuesday. A lot of news outlets in Europe reporting how they can’t be a pussy this time against mango and retaliate hard. You’d be a fool to think Europe will not retaliate back harder than ever, they are done looking like Mango’s bitch.
Failed how? Democrats have proven to the better party for the past 40+ years, by a LOT! Blame Republican voters for being ignorant idiots. America thrives when Democrats are in control, and suffers when Republicans are in office. * Corruption: In the past 50 years, there have been 91 people in the executive branch who were convicted of felonies. 2 were Democrats, in the Clinton administration, and 88, whoops, forgot Trump, **89** were Republicans, some in *every* Republican administration since Nixon. * $$ you say? Reagan, Bush 1, Bush 2, and Trump each blew up the national budget deficit, and thus the national debt when they were in office. Presidents Clinton, Obama, and Biden each **lowered** the national budget deficit, with two of them cutting the Republican disasters in half, and Clinton actually handing over a budget *surplus*. * Jobs, you say? The last 16 years of Republican administrations have LOST 2 million net jobs (Trump lost 2.7 million jobs, the first time, over a million this time). Meanwhile, the last 16 years of Democrats have added ***50 million*** jobs! * Personal disposable income has grown nearly 6 times more under Democratic presidents. * Gross Domestic Product (GDP) has grown 7 times more under Democratic presidents. * Trade deficits under Republican Presidents have been 39% higher than under Democratic Presidents. * Business investment has grown twice as fast under Democratic Presidents. * Corporate profits have grown over 16% more per year under Democratic presidents. (they actually declined under Republicans by an average of 4.53%/year) * In the past 30 odd years, Republican admins added only 1 Million jobs (and currently losing those), Democratic admins added over 50 Million jobs. * Average annual compound return on the stock market has been 18 times greater under Democratic presidents. * Republican presidents have added 2.5 times more to the national debt than Democratic presidents. * Under Democratic Presidents' annual spending increased by an average of $36.9 billion per year. Under Republican Presidents' annual spending increased by an average of $78.6 billion per year. * Republican administrations increased welfare, + 19.16% per year vs 5.76% per year under Democrats. * The biggest expansion in the food stamps program came during the Nixon administration. * Since the recession following WW1, EVERY recession and Depression were during Republican administrations. And Trump is going for his second one. https://www.forbes.com/sites/adamhartung/2012/10/10/want-a-better-economy-history-says-vote-democrat/#49d9ddcccb44 And don't forget the [molestation and sexual assaults Republicans/conservatives are guilty of.](https://www.dailykos.com/history/user/CajsaLilliehook) Conclusion: America is a better place when Democrats are in charge.

The EU will halt nothing. We're taking Greenland. Trump will get his way, the EU wussies will back down, and all this talk about "the decline of US power" will be swept away. A message is being sent to everyone in the world, high and low, although most of them do not yet "have the ears to hear". They will listen and learn soon. The United States military is the ultimate power in the world, and we will not be stepping aside or bowing down to Europe or the Global South. We are too big to lose and fight, and we are too big to fail economically. Denmark is not too big to fail. Neither is England or Germany. I suspect France will side with us when push comes to shove. We are going to get our way, and there will be a global resurgence of American Influence. Most of you don't understand that because you have not read any of Pete Hegseth's books. Of all the places to look for an explanation for what's going on, it is there. You can start with The War on Warriors, American Crusade, or Battle for the America Mind. Trust me, reading these books will change you, or at the very least it will change the scope of your opinions on what is going on, and why. I don't think it's possible to understand exactly what is going on, and the forces that are moving in certain directions, without reading Pete Hegseth's books. You are putting too much on Trump himself. There are A LOT of other people in this country who realize this is our last chance to make things right, and they will not let this chance pass by. The EU and NATO can make "rabble-rabble" noises like on South Park, but they won't do anything because they CAN'T do anything.
The counter point to what you just said, and I agree with you is this: Trump presently is getting infusions in both hands and is wearing compression socks to help with circulation and to mitigate blood cloths. A few months ago it was infusions in just 1 hand and no compressions socks. Trump is 100% aging out and is trying to take the country down with him. With his slurring of speech and that 1/2 of his face hangs down by his mouth, 100% Trump has also had a stroke recently. There is A LOT of medical evidence that Trump won't survive to the end of his term.
Yea, they bought the spectrum's rights, AKA leased it. It is for usage in Canada and the USA, yes, like I mentioned. FCC approval is imminent, Brendan Carr is on our side. Stop trying to correct me on things I got right. > Oh and they need new chips in phones to use it AND block 3 satellites, so it won't be useful for at least 2 years. New chips by next year, Apple and Google are both looking to get them on asap. B3 will take its time, yes, but in 2 years ASTS' manufacturing chain will already be running full steam at most likely more than double the speed it is these days, so no worries there. > This puts them essentially on the same playing field as Starlink who are doing something similar with S Band spectrum. Not at all. In 2 years Starlink might very well still not be launching V3 satellites and only if they have already fixed Starship issues. By then they may have already lost the NTN war simply by not being an existing alternative, while ASTS will have already completed 50% if not more of their constellation, providing as you mentioned, way better service overall than lousy SMS that don't get sent because of a couple of clouds... > I have done a LOT of DD, it's really ironic how AST bulls hear what I'm saying and automatically assume I haven't done research because I'm not bullish. Agree to disagree then, only time and the market will tell who was right here today, my money is on ASTS
Lol yes I know all of this. In fact, they didn't buy Ligado they leased it and still need to obtain approval from the FCC to use it and solve multiple legal challenges. And even then, Ligado would only be usable in North America. Oh and they need new chips in phones to use it AND block 3 satellites, so it won't be useful for at least 2 years. This puts them essentially on the same playing field as Starlink who are doing something similar with S Band spectrum. I have done a LOT of DD, it's really ironic how AST bulls hear what I'm saying and automatically assume I haven't done research because I'm not bullish.
A Chinese invasion of Taiwan is absolutely not 100% “priced in”. Priced in means the risk is factored into the asset price not that the asset is priced with certainty that something will happen. So for example, 40% of people think China will invade and 60% think the status quo continues. Only 40% of the risk is “priced in”. With certainty that it happens you still have A LOT of upside. Especially for a cataclysmic event like a Taiwan invasion. A more recent example of something that everyone knew would happen but that was not “priced in” is the Trump tariffs back in March 2025 triggering a massive selloff.
LOT - Lotus The Eletre’s planned retail price in Canada could fall by about 50%, and expects accelerated wholesale deliveries using its existing Canadian network of 6 authorized dealers.
To be clear, SF has a LOT more than 9000 employees, it is more like 80000. Yes staff were laid off, but absolutely no where near half of staff.

A LOT of my kids friends and a lot of my young relatives use Snapchat heavily. I don’t know anyone with a Tesla, yet it’s worth $1.5 trillion.
I learned 2 things in my 21 years in investing 1- Don't try to predict markets, try to understand if the business you're buying will be here in 25 years. If you just own the SP500, not even a need for the 2nd part 2- Use the markets as the tide. Don't fight against it because it is illogical and understand that the whole world is not Reddit or your circle of friends/age group in your city. What I am trying to say in examples is, Just because you're grom a major US city and you're 30, don't think Facebook is not growing (when Meta was at 88). Just because the news are yapping about the end of oil dependance don't think oil is dead (5 years ago) Just because pandemic happened, people is not going to stop going out/being social (Peloton, zoom... hype) Just because Apple products are overpriced, obsolescence programmed, no innovation... blah blah blah, doesn't mean they have a fanbase, Apple is seen as a symbol of status and since I begar readings rhose critiques, the stock price has gone up may be 20 fold. What thinks I see today, that I want to think I am seeing right, after all those years of learning The trend now is AI and companies energy related but... For example food stocks and beverages PEP, MDLZ, KHC, CAG, GIS... are struggling. BUT. I don't know if people is gonna use AI that much, what I know for sure, is that people is going to keep eating. Brand loyalty is not that strong anymore, but all of us prefer the real Pepsi, the real Oreos and the real Heinz ketchup. Another thing about food stocks. 2 things. One is the GLPs. I am seeing already (my wife is a surgeon and does plastic surgery) people want to have the cake and eat it. So, what people want, is not to be thin. But to be able to eat more cookies and then be thin. Even if that costs money, surgeries or even side effects. And second, just because in some areas of Europe, US, Australia and Japan, we are more health aware, that doesn't mean the rest of the world is like us. I've been A LOT in African countries (arab and black african) and in both cultures eating A LOT, and eating brands is seen as a symbol of status. In my last travel to Morocco, the cousin of the friend I traveled with to Fez, was having like 8 Pepsi cans/day. And he liked it to put the Pepsi outside of the car wile driving and walking by the street with the can. Totally unexplainable to me. Another trend Nike is on the shitter, but same thing. EVERYBODY was on Nike clothing and shoes in Morocco (for sure 80% fake) but still it is a symbol of status for them. And I looked at it. Do you know which brand is the most valuable and likable in all Africa? Nike. So I won't be so bearish when a whole continent, that is gonna double their population in the next 25 years, loves that brand. And Africa while super poor is a continent where wealth is gona 4x in those 25 years.
Economy is doing very bad. GDP has grown, but GDP per capita has shrunk every year for the last 5 years (2% shrink total, the worst 5 year stretch in Canada since the Great Depression). The majority of Canada’s economic “growth” is simply real estate costs increasing due to massive immigration quotas. Essentially, the economic pie has been getting a bit bigger, but the amount of people looking for a slice has gotten a LOT bigger. While I agree we could be doing worse, we could also be doing so much better. We have so many resources, so much land, and such great people, yet we refuse to pop the housing bubble, leaving the younger generations in the lurch. Young people are leaving at the fastest rate in Canadian history, and if we don’t course correct, QOL will (continue to) go down the drain.
Of course, thats always the same. You dont get rich playing a safe game. If you want 50x or 100x you need to invest when their is still a high chance that they dont make it and go bancrupt. I got in at 10 usd, doubled up at 6 usd and doubled up again at 3 usd. I went through a valley of pain in these years. My average is just below 5 usd. When it started to go up, people told me to sell when i break even. They told me to sell at 15 usd, at the 35 spike in 2024 again, because 7x is a great gain. It bleeded down to 20 again. Damn it.... Then we hit 60, but a few weeks later, we were at 35 again. Should i sell? Hold on? After we hit 100 it went down to the 50s again.... So what i want to say: even if you got in early its not easy to get these 20x winners, because you will be tempted to sell A LOT of times.
8mil would’ve been fk you money in the 90s, not now though. Now 5-10 mil is financial freedom. However, Hospice at old age for your parents, your spouse, and yourself will eat a 8 mil principal to zero when the time comes. Fuck you money comes at 50 mil. That’s when you can do whatever you want. Which is still a LOT less than a billion. And there are lots of billionaires who absolutely will never be able to use that amount of money ethically.
I haven't sold a share. It's not too early, but unless you put a LOT of money in, it won't be an obscene amount of money out now. I'm not selling until they at least get the whole constellation active, so 2-4 years.
> Then there is a swiss company that went public recently thay has A LOT of products that they love. It is called Galderma. Galderma has been a great investment. It's definitely not cheap/a lot is priced in at this point but was nice to see L'Oreal take their investment from 10% to 20% not that long ago. Thanks for your comments.
If we would know we would all be billionaires. Facts are there have been a lot of times in which gold for example has gone up A LOT very quickly and the dropped back down. In the late 70s as well as more recently in 2011. You probably have heard that gold it’s for “capital preservation” instead of growth. However the reality is that if you look at say the last 20 or 25 years gold it’s considerably up in comparison to stocks. There’s arguments this time it might not deflate in the same way it did back in early 2010s or the 80s. But there’s also arguments that it will. Generally speaking it would be cautionary to not have more than say 10% of your portafolio in precious metals. After all they do not have any cash flow.
I bought a batch of MU calls (10) for its march earnings Strike = 190 (yes, I am fucking old and conservative so deep ITM) 10 contracts, but may add if it tanks more (and it will). And near the DAY of earnings depending on IV and theta, I will offload my entire position. this is a "buying into expanding volatility play" And dear regards, I almost NEVER buy options other than the FD inside a spread so I don't get fucked too bad. But this time, the company is not trading at the level it can. LOT of upside.
If anything we’re seeing a LOT of restraint from people rn the 2nd amendment is in place so people can protect themselves using self defense, and protect themselves from government overreach
Sadly, 90% of people in the answers, is gonna tell you the bags they're holding. Not me, because I had a restaurant and I sold it, but my wife is a surgeon specialized in reconstruction and plastic surgery and I've been talking with his colleagues and his boss because I've been inquiring. I am going to tell all I know now, not small caps but interesting. And I still don't own none of them because I've been loading Realty Income all this year. Abbvie owns the majority of the botox and cosmetical market share but is enormous already Then there is a swiss company that went public recently thay has A LOT of products that they love. It is called Galderma. Beckton Dickinson is a brand that they threw a lot. Principally to heal umbilical hernia and similar things. They're impressed (some of them) with Zimmer Biomed prosthetics and technology. They fixed a woman's skull with ai don't know what that they do. I peaked some times at the lab and there were a lot of machines Mettler Toledo. Don't even know what they do, but my wife told me that's expendive and necessary stuff As I said, I didn't buy yet. But I asked because from a logical perspective. Aging population. More resources in Asia and Africa. More people wanting to look good... I see a lot of gain in plastic surgery and joint repair things. As I said, I know NOTHING about medicine. I knew how to run a big restaurant. But you know... not rocket science. We used P prodcuts from; Heineken Pepsico Pernos Ricard Diageo Tork (Kimberly Clark rival owned by a public sweedish company Essity) The rest of the products were local. So... not that much value there
Unfortunately Buffett is extremely wrong about this bull market. He genuinely believes US is going to raise taxes A LOT soon (and supports it to pay for things like universal healthcare). He thinks the printing is going to stop. And it just ain't so. That's not the environment we live in. But if all billionaires acted and lived as modestly as Buffett, there would be so much less anger and hatred today. His life and legacy interview that just came out is great.
They will lose a LOT of money this year doing this, will be funny to watch. Unless of course you are one of those bears who shorts the market with perfect timing on and off.
I was being facetious. The background radiation in space makes wafer production a non-starter without a comical amount of shielding. Semi conductors (like those in all of the equipment used in the process) and radiation do not get along. You would get a LOT of defective product.
The dream scenario. But A LOT have to go well if DJ30 should go past 50k tomorrow 😅
You wrote, "... the option price ...", which I take to be the 2.50 call? I just looked at the quote for the $2.50 call and I see 0.87/0.96? I'm not seeing 0.20 or 0.01. The 10 day chart on that call shows a low of 0.71, nowhere near the numbers you quoted. Did you mean the net value of the entire spread? That isn't "the option price," if so. For the net, I see 0.06/0.25 as the bid/ask, which seems pretty reasonable for a spread that is a year from expiration. What did you think a call debit spread that was a year from expiration would be priced at? Both legs are 100% time value and a year is a LOT of time. FWIW, I generally recommend that spreads stay under 60 DTE. Far-dated contracts and spreads are hard to value. A forecast you make today is very unlikely to be correct a year from now.
I think I’m responsible for the current state of “retail trading psychology”. I sold a course ≈ 15 years ago to 3 people. 2 of them ended up being scammers. They didn’t scam me, they used the course and education to scam others. But not in an obvious way. They started selling “winning” and I never taught them that. They simply realized that’s what A LOT of people will buy. I simply won’t do that to people. It’s beneath me. I’ll be the first to tell you, you’re going to lose more than you win. It’s the nature of the business. I don’t need you to pay me for that. I actually make money in the securities business as a professional so selling the public lies is lame to me. IDC if 1,000,000 people line up to pay, I won’t sell you lies.
Listen. I think you're looking it with 2 basic problems. The first is basically being a Uber stock holder. Which makes you biased The second is looking at Uber from an US centric vision. I live in Europe. I use Nike, Pepsi, Google, Amazon... those companies have moats and are everywhere. But in my country we use even a better option than Uber, that is basically the same, "copied" by a larger company than Uber itself If you think about it, we drink Pepsi in UK, Spain, Germany, China, India, Australia. We also use Nike in those countries. We also use Google products. But we, instead of Uber, use Bolt, cabify, Didi, Ola, Yango... Do we understand each other?? They can't have a moat when in A LOT of important countries, we can't even use Uber or, bestcase scenario, they're not even the underdog
I got burned by JTAI that day they announced a new data center and then immediately an offering (which they later withdrew). Swore it off after that, and they don’t have money to fund their ambitions so they will be doing A LOT of offerings over the medium/long term.
Right? That dude says A LOT of crazy stuff. Maybe that $2,000 tariff rebate will be issued on Visa gift cards!
90%. I treat ETFs as a hedge. I don't have trouble outperforming most years. That being said I have 35-45 total positions at any given moment. A LOT of thought and reading goes into this.
Stock markets were irrational in 2021, went all haywire in 2022, then went on hopium since then. And some of us, most of us, have enjoyed some handsome gains through it all. My point is, irrational is how it exists. It’s up to ME how much I want to participate in this irrationality. I decided, yeah, sure, I’ll do a little bit of what others are doing a LOT. But I’m going to do a LOT of what others are missing.
Ughhh I dont recommend that. With the shortage of GPUs for the foreseeable future, Nintendo might struggle to obtain enough for Switch 2 production and will either have to raise prices or eat the higher costs, meaning much lower margins on their sales. All of that is very bad news for Nintendo. Its bad news for other game system manufacturers like Sony and Microsoft, but both of those companies are a LOT more diversified than Nintendo is
I do this sometimes. It's a LOT easier to watch a stock move if it's in my brokerage than on a watchlist. I also have a better chance of seeing the news or any other related info about it.
These guys are sitting on a LOT of gold and have the DoW grant for Antimony to piggyback the development.
No one is late cycle yet. The miners haven't reported earnings with the absolutely parabolic rise in metals. Plus, oil / fuel / energy costs are very low right now, so mining costs (AISC, etc.) are basically flat from last few earnings reports. The smart miners like CDE are using this time and record FCF to buy new mines. There is a LOT of upward momentum here and multi-billion dollar deals between companies like Coeur Mining and New Gold and even companies like Rio Tinto and Glencore show that metals is the play right now. FWIW I'm heavily invested in metals, rare earths, oil and nuclear energy.
Are you really implying that I’m implying such a thing when it comes to something as serious as becoming a surgeon? If college is NECESSARY for the career you are in pursuit of, then yes college is necessary and you cannot just go online for it. You also literally need a degree for that. However for A LOT of careers or jobs that also do NOT need college, and if somebody only cares about making a good income, college is not a necessity for achieving such thing. Come on man, I get what you’re saying, but you’re proposing a silly scenario that I thought was obviously not even in question here because you literally NEED to go to college for something of that sort. How many people regret going to college due to the cost of it, and also due to the lack of finding work in the field they studied? But what do they not regret? The great time and memories they made there. Unless they had a bad experience due to bullying or something of that sort obviously.
I am 100% not the guy to give you a great answer. I’m wrong A LOT. So NFA, blah blah. I’m saying this as one of the only people staring at a loss on $ONDS right now because I bought it at $14.02. But I almost always buy to hold. Once I dig into a company and run it through my own goofy little frameworks, if it gets me excited and checks out, I grab it and wait. Kraken checked out for me, so I did that. And I bought at a top that stayed a top for a week or so before starting to go up. Now it’s up over 34%. So it worked. If you see a company solving a bleeding neck wound, which Kraken is doing, then I think you jump in and hold on. Again, NFA. But it works for me.
Bitch ass bears were TALKING A LOT OF SHIT and we are back to ATH lmao LMAO
Your assessment is is spot on. The only thing I would add is on the long term risk assessment and how quickly their revenues will ramp higher. Full disclosure, I own 40k shares @ $1.69. Sold off 26k in last Friday’s crazy jump. - Revenue acceleration: While it’s encouraging that they are getting more design wins in automotive, these wins are slow to ramp up. Having worked in the semiconductor space, I can tell you that it takes +3 yrs before production ramps up. The ADAS applications are going to become standard in most Automotive models and as the Automotive market rebounds it will lift all of the companies associated with that industry but I think that is still a year away. It’s also encouraging that they are selling products in other markets: ProAV (large portion of revenue), industrial vision, medical equipment (new DW’s reported). These markets have a LOT of smaller customers and are not as effected by cyclicality that defines the automotive sector -Long term risk: Big guys like Texas Instruments and Analog Devices (I have worked for both in the past) are already selling SerDes in the automotive space and it shouldn’t be very hard for them to put out products that directly compete with VLN. I expect they have new IC designs that meet the MIPI A-Phy standard. So competition could smoother these guys out. However, there is the possibility that another analog company may put in a bid and buy these guys out (the new CEO looks like he has been through a few acquisitions in his past) My belief is that these guys will be profitable by beginning of CY2027. And their revenue will grow at an accelerated pace throughout 2026. My belief is that the stock price may hit $5 by the end of the year. And maybe even more if somebody buys them out. A great candidate could be MPLS (monolithic Power Systems) or someone else that already sells IC’s to automotive’s and doesn’t have a Comm’s play. Cheers
Unfortunately there's A LOT of stupid people with money to burn.. I just never understood how!! Yet here im counting pennies trying to get but. Hopefully my YOLO will hit some day!! Trying to buy granny Nana some new shoes!! My mentors taught me the industry, I never understood reading something from someone else and following it.
…..and it would be a LOT worse if the FED wasn’t doing what it’s done.
No chance it's going to be 80 dollars soon! PS I'm talking about the greek myth not the food place but food can go up a LOT
\- Begin by buying a broad, low cost index fund that tracks the SP500 with a small amount of money. \- Understand that on average, the market returns around 10% per year. \- Understand that in most years, the market won't return its average (e.g. some years will be +20%, others will be minus 5%). \- Understand that returns on single stocks will vary much much more than this. You could double your money. You could lose 50%. \- Know that there's a LOT of noise out there. Not all of it is useful information that you need to incorporate into your investing. Most is irrelevant noise. \- Take your time. There's no rush. Source: investor for 17 years, teacher of this sort of stuff for the last 10 or so.
Well this sub has been suspiciously invaded and infiltrated by A LOT of new accounts. That tells me one thing for certain in this market… Buyer beware.
They are selling a ton of their spectrum licenses for a LOT of money for satellite up and down link. Basically satellite to Cellular spectrum. In 5-10 years cellular service will likely be majority satellite based I suspect.
It's really hard. I would say to wait for a pullback, but there are A LOT of incoming catalysts. BB6 is about to unfurl any day now, which is a massive de-risking event (they've never unfurled this newest sat, and that's not really something you can test here on earth). BB7 is currently in Ft. Lauderdale getting loaded onto a Falcon 9, and launch in expected in a couple of weeks. Bell Canada just sent out a tweet of them signing BB8, which means that sat is getting ready for final packaging. We were told that BB6 & BB7 were launching solo and after that they were going up in batches of 3, but we don't have confirmation that's happening yet. If BB8 launches solo then there's probably going to be a drop because launches are expensive. They need to launch in batches to make it to revenue before running out of money (and needing to dilute). Then again, if they do ship BB8 - BB10 together, that shows that manufacturing has worked out the kinks and they're ready to launch a shit load of sats this year. AT&T has announced that Beta service is going to roll out in Q1, which will really bring more eyes and wallets to the party. Then there's Firstnet, Fairwinds, and Golden Dome possibilities that could happen any day now. All of that said, it did just run 33% over the last month, so who the hell knows. The stock is volatile as hell, and I feel like there's bound to be a pullback of some kind.
Making a LOT of assumptions here, brah. Did you miss the part up there at the top where I clearly state >I'm not sure I trust Schwab's API and would like to double check it.
Depends on the underlying. Either wheeling on crabby/cyclial tickers during periods of elevated volatility, or buying strangles on tickers where IV is low relative to actual volatility. With silver's bull run, I tried to do a 1-1 ratio of OTM puts/calls while wheeling in the center, yet its price blew right through it. The massive IV spike meant my calls were gaining a LOT faster than my puts were losing.
They say don't put more money than you're willing to lose into options. Well, let me tell you, I have A LOT more money than I'm willing to lose on GOOG and AMZN calls.
ideologically yes. this is why these leqders keep refering to "docterines" and "spheres of influence". these are throwbacks to empire building days of yore. did the US prez hold up this map with carved out locations? no. that is AI. they are playing/living out the game RISK. Xi has been fixing to take Taiwan. Putin is gunning for Ukraine. The US has said if I let you do those things... then what's in it for me. Hence the Venezuela issue (oil... ane China had a LOT of oil dealings there which they lose out now), and the Greenland issue (great for data centers and mining), and the 51st state of Canada warnings (wanting all of the arctic, for shipping access and mining and to feel "safe"). Regarding Xi taking Taiwan, I suspect this is why the US prez has been playing nice to retain SOME chip management via Nvidia... bc TSMC will be taken in total but is a globally important corp.
It depends on a few factors, like what's your risk tolerance look like? Can you stomach seeing your investments down 10, 20, or even 30% for an extended period of time? How much time and energy do you have (especially during work ours) to devote to doing stock research and keeping an eye on the market? The statistics are pretty stark, most investors don't beat the S&P over the long-term. If you simply dump most of your money into FXAIX and chill, you can save yourself a LOT of heartache, stress, and time while still performing well. If you are interested in experimenting, I'd suggest putting most of your money into FXAIX, at least for the first few years, and putting aside a smaller amount that you feel comfortable losing to use as "play" money to try to better understand the market
