We may, it's weedstocks. I expect A LOT of profit-taking today.
Well. You seem to be a pretty solid contra-indicator. Guess I better dust off my stock picker-fu and stop being so lazy. SpaceX and Anthropic and OpenAI going public is going to suck a LOT of oxygen out of the passive air. Especially with the financial engineering Musk is planning to have retirement contribution to index funds be his exit liquidity. Your timing may, once again, be less than stellar. That said, VT and VOO are my choices too. For now.
Yeah, except that the hardware isn't capable of double-checking itself and makes a LOT of mistakes. I counted 8 times that FSD made a huge, risky mistake the last time I used it (2 hour drive across Route 2 in MA). I haven't used it since. 2018 Model 3.
Why isnt CAR 300 yet? I travel A LOT. It's national or nothing. Fuck that cos penny pinching bullshit.
And the market particularly the Shiller P/E is screaming for you to think smarter than the market because it can remain irrational a LOT longer than you can stay solvent buddy
Nice work. Hoping for A LOT more with earnings.
Simple answer: don't invest until you know SOMETHING. Then continue to hold until you know A LOT. It's just not that hard to be informed, as long as you recognize that pretty much everyone is trying to hype you into investing NOW. Figure out which companies are actually well-run, have a good product and a good plan, and have a market. These are the companies that will be rising over time rather than popping and dropping (though they'll do that too) on a daily basis. Know what the sectors of the market are, how they have performed, WHY or why not there is sentiment that they will be profitable into the future. Learn to read the charts so you understand trends. Look at companies that have done BADLY and why that happened. Meanwhile, you can wait a month of two until we know for sure if bombs are going to start falling again (probably not), and whether the market will crater with the America economy or shrug its shoulders and keep rising (about an even bet). This is just NOT a good time to jump in as an uninformed investor. Oh, and when you DO decide to buy in, don't do it until between 1:00 and 2:00pm EST. And don't invest a cent until you know WHY this is the time to buy. It may seem a bit overwhelming at first, but remind yourself how much money is at stake, both in terms of money you can gain and money you can lose.
I did said I wasn't selling until the rule is in the register...But fuck me, this is really telling me to take A LOT of risk off the table here.
Friend works at Jane Street. A LOT of suspicious trades coming in for spirit before the Trump announcement. Any other administration there would’ve been a ton scrutiny. But these days it’s just a Wednesday.
let's not forget that paying a staff 13k/year costs a LOT more than 13k, because of employer-side tax obligations.
> Probably by Musk/Thiel/Vance I highly doubt this, at least for the events at the time. NOW in April 2026 I would say it is much more likely but that is because the tech sphere has been so empowered, emboldened, and enriched by the Trump admin that they could achieve something like this today. However, prior to the election, I doubt it. I mean Thiel is the brains of those three, and I highly doubt Vance or Musk could actually not leak or accidentally expose the ruse. This required a lighter touch than those buffoons. The thing about this is that in order to create a false assassination attempt up to and including a person firing shots at your VIP, you have to have the ability to do the assassination successfully. You can't fake it unless you have the ability to really do it. Arguably its harder to create a believable fake. Also, the tech bros don't exactly have their arms around "wet works" and have their own espionage and black ops guys to do their bidding. Sure, they can definitely hire contract killers as Boeing has done to kill whistleblowers. But to see how the Trump campaign used this moment, did a photo op in the moment, effectively halted investigation, and just the pure strangeness of it all means the Trump campaign were likely involved, and the culprits behind it were Russia or Israel. They have the spy networks, resources, the black operatives, the media influence, the money, and the direct and secretive connection to the Trump campaign. If he knew anything at all, Musk would have accidentally spilled it in a ketamine fugue state. My money is on Russia personally, as they have a LOT of experience in false flag operations and legit murder. They don't think twice about throwing a cabinet minister from a high-rise window.
That 5000000 HKD. That is A LOT OF MONEY even at today standards and it was meant for the kids. Being a woman doesn’t excuses yourself from such a horrible act.
I'm winning a war with my portfolio, BY A LOT, things are going very well.
The stock market will beat inflation by a LOT. But, if you want to secure you and your kids' future, you need to make a big bet and get lucky.
I mean that money goes to A LOT of us citizens who work in the aerospace and defense world. It directly funds their careers. It’s not just thrown into a black void.
Yeah i buy shares, not options but TQQQ and FNGU have made me a LOT of $ the last 2 years.
There's still A LOT of dumbass bears coping we will go back down to 699 today LMAOOOOOO
yeah when it stops going up it will obvs go down A LOT
I don't do individual stocks any more, but SCHD added UNH in its last rebalance. Not a lot of people realize that and a LOT of people hold SCHD in their dividend focused accounts.
I haven’t looked at Pakistani fertilizer stocks at all, ever lol…but I can tell you whatever price action we’ve experienced in the last 2 months in commodities is not normal. A LOT of people were talking about global fertilizer costs and shortages for weeks so I can almost guarantee you it’s been priced into the market already. Which companies were you looking at?
not to mention the investment gains ( main reason why $amzn invest). they also invested the 25b at 350b - when secondaries are pricing it LOT higher.
One thing is certain: insiders are going to make A LOT of money tomorrow
Buying a LOT of Royal Caribbean during covid at $40-$50/share
I'm winning a war, BY A LOT = we fucking lost, BY A LOT
> lying publicly just as much as the admin I don't know how you can say that with a straight face when Trump posted *this* gem today: >I’m winning a War, BY A LOT, things are going very well, our Military has been amazing and, if you read the Fake News, like The Failing New York Times, the absolutely horrendous and disgusting Wall Street Journal, or the now almost defunct, fortunately, Washington Post, you would actually think we are losing the War. The enemy is confused, because they get these same Media “reports,” and yet they realize their Navy has been completely wiped out, their Air Force has gone onto darker runways, they have no Anti Missile or Anti Airplane Equipment, their former leaders are mostly gone (This has been, in addition to everything else, Regime Change!), and perhaps, most important of all, THE BLOCKADE, which we will not take off until there is a “DEAL,” is absolutely destroying Iran. They are losing $500 Million Dollars a day, an unsustainable number, even in the short run. The Anti-America Fake News Media is rooting for Iran to win, but it’s not going to happen, because I’m in charge! Just like these unpatriotic people used every ounce of their limited strength to fight me in the Election, they continue to do so with Iran. The result will be the same — It already is! President DONALD J. TRUMP At this point I'm not sure if he's trying to convince us, or just himself. When you have to declare you're *totally* winning any day now, everyone knows you aren't.
Let me translate his post. "We are winning a LOT from market manipulation thanks to the WAR, asshole U.S taxpayers"
Trump: I am winning the War, BY A LOT, things are going very well. You might not be winning, bozo, but he is
I’m winning a War, BY A LOT, 😭
you hear that guys? A LOT
Management for a stock - none I read their financials Management for a Mutual Fund - A LOT
i think shrinkflation is ethically a LOT less worse than than whatever Palantir is up to. Even if all options are flawed, often there are some clear choices for what companies to avoid. Focussing on the general flaws of capitalism doesnt help much in my opinion, when making ethical choices within the system we live in.
>TRUMP: WHEN OIL PRICES GO UP, WE MAKE A LOT OF MONEY >TRUMP: FRANKLY, GAS PRICE HASN'T GONE UP AS MUCH AS I THOUGHT >Trump: 'WORLD’S MOST POWERFUL RESET!!! President DJT' ✅️
if you know how to check put call daily volume on optioncharts you wouldn't miss all these green warning: It's a LOT of CALLs, MSFT, GOOGL, AAPL, you name it
Bitcoin is reacting pretty severely down >2% this weekend. But I don’t expect any major downside moves until Trump or Iran actually start launching missiles again. There’s a LOT of upside pressure that’s been built up since basically the beginning of the year.
I'll a WHOLE LOT of salt water does better though.
The whole algorithm thing is over my grade but I understand enough to be dangerous. I find myself struggling a bit with the volatility making my brokerage trades more cumbersome vs roth decisions. I want to make 1yr+ picks, but some of the runupsnhave far exceeded expectations making me want to sell early or at least trim profits but the tax implications become a hindrance. With roth its easy, but with brokerage It's a bit of a mental battle to convince myself that a higher taxable profit is still profit. I have a LOT of very good trades that were May-July last year but it's a weird spot when you only have to wait another 45 days or so before they become LTG vs ordinary income. Usually I'm only making those decisions on maybe 30% but currently 75% of my brokerage is under 1 year.
If you retire and have zero income from wages, and mostly long term capital gains then you should qualify for the 0% tax rate when you sell your stocks! 98,900 for the 0% (if married) and 32,200 for your standard deduction. So each year you can realize 120,000 in capital gains at 0% tax rate. But you need to be careful. Any dividends you have will eat away from that 120,000. If you plan to buy something that pays dividends, do it at end of year to minimize the dividends. In theory, you could realize like 100,000 each year, so like in 5 years you could erase like 500,000+ of capital gains. This is normally called tax gain harvesting. One more note, since you want to buy dividend funds, You are kind of fucking your self over tax wise. The dividends don't count as long term capital gains, so the more dividends you get, the less tax gain harvesting you can use. If 100,000/year is too small, you can fill up the 10% bracket instead of the 0%. But in that case you probably have a LOT of money.
Your puts are fuckt. We're going to break stock market record for number of green days in a row by a LOT.
Someone made a LOT of money placing shorts just before the announcement
AI bot. Of course the Iranian government is not doing this. Proxies that know USA is foolish. A LOT of proxies. This was 100% to fuck with Trump. Prove me wrong Monday.
Our saving grace is that the cunts in congress make A LOT of money in the stock market and they love money more than anything else. So much so that they aren’t ever going to do anything that’s going to tank the market for any measurable amount of time. All we can do is play the game they are playing.
Because this data is picked over a time period mostly devoid of crashes and relies on trying to time like a trader not looking at macroeconomic trends. Timing by getting out/in on historic oppurtunities like 08 or covid timing wins everytime. It's just really hard/impossible to predict that. But those events are the difference makers. Starting point and wealth preservation matter A LOT.
Well. Calls going ITM that aren't already covered by the MM who sold them cause buying. There are a LOT of trend chasing algos (and traders,) who just follow directional plays. Short sellers may buy to close if they are losing too much. Everyone's 401k autobuys at any price, as people love to point out. But also, there's not any rush to buy, volume for this entire pump from SPY 630 was at six month lows. There's just very little motivated selling going on.
Iran wants to leverage what they have to keep Hezbollah from getting bombed out out of existence - this is a smart move on their part. They know they can shut the strait right back down if the cease-fire is broken by Israel, so there's a LOT of pressure on Israel not to do that.
I understand, but I just want to close out saying that there is no justice in the world. It's a concept that does not exist for us unless we implement ourselves. I went to school for mathematics, I struggled A LOT financially, and no one else in family went to college. I come from an absolute thicket of retards. I get out, there are no jobs or progressions in society, and I have student loans plus shit like this on my plate. I was sold this debt with intent to progress, there are no jobs and there is just lawlessness and scammers running amuck. There is no getting ahead in a system like this. What the fuck else does a person do
>TRUMP: OIL PRICES ARE ROUGHLY HALF OF WHAT WAS ANTICIPATED >TRUMP: WHEN OIL PRICES GO UP, WE MAKE A LOT OF MONEY >BESSENT ON FED: WOULD BE READY TO CUT RATES, HAVE OPEN MIND TO MORE CUTS SINCE WAITED LONGER -CNBC INTERVIEW >TRUMP ON FED'S POWELL: IF HE DOESN'T LEAVE, I HAVE TO FIRE HIM > 'WORLD’S MOST POWERFUL RESET!!! President DJT' Oil price too low. Rates too high.
I rarely chime in on these things... So, first of all what did you do this time that didn't work and how quickly did you notice? What did you do that worked? Is this repeatable or lucky? Are you going against the market trends? Try to systemize it or do this daily/weekly however often. I'm just touching the surface here but you caught yourself and now you can change. Maybe read a few books by William O'Neil, Wyckoff, Jesse Livermore, or Mark Minervini... Or even Buffett. I don't have a magic key but - I think there is the potential for most people to learn stock trading and do it well. So... Find your flow. You can slowly get your money back with the money you have, but it might be slower than you hoped. And I would avoid crypto coins for now. If you must, just get hood, coin, or bitcoin etf. Stick to one account. Try to be green on a weekly basis. Cut lists at 8%. Add to winners. Don't grab stocks under $20. Get at least 5-10 stocks. Avoid options for now - gains try with a paper account. Also get Schwab app. It isn't as gamefied as RH. Good luck. I recently clawed back... A LOT more than you lost over the last 19 days so, it's possible. I was on a numb road.... It was weird. I am using stops a lot more, too. Ok I'm so sleepy. Goodnight and Goodluck
This feels a LOT like very early COVID. People from the "covid cruise" were starting to drop dead, we were seeing all sorts of alarming news about the virus and how contagious and deadly it might be. But the market was climbing higher. Until it wasn't. But then it just kept on climbing. I figure if COVID shutdowns didn't take the wind out of the market's sails nothing will. Not an oil crisis, not even Musk using passive indexers as exit liquidity. Money hits the market every two weeks, and MUST be deployed.
This might actually be the most hated rally of all time. You can tell a LOT of people got fucked over with their positions.
Gonna have to drop A LOT for my positions to be in trouble
US is a net exporter of energy. Europe energy prices are insane. Compare electricity prices in EU vs NA and it's easy to understand. China is technically well diversified, but they also consume A LOT of energy.
Bruh… that’s A LOT of mental gymnastics I just read.. it’s ok to admit you stuffed up..
I have been getting dick pics on wall street bets for years since the Jerome Powell business card, nothing new. Just a whole LOT of cock.
I have found with higher beta names like BE, ASTS, and AAOI, that I’ve been able to trade covered calls, puts, bear and bull put spreads through 20-30% gap vulnerabilities and still come out ahead. I had sold calls where the share price gapped 15%. I rolled for pennies on the dollar. The put spreads lessened and protected draw downs. I’ve netted over 120% YTD. A typical wheel doesn’t work long term. You have to be active, rolling on spikes in IV, timing draw downs to place puts, taking assignment and redeploying, using put spreads to net profitable entry points. Studying the charts and news, etc. It takes capital too! I will admit that it’s a LOT of work and angst at times. OP: I’d recommend getting an account a Schwab or some system that allows you to do paper trades. This will allow you to learn at no risk. They have great resources and their ThinkOrSwim platform is designed for options trading. Be prepared to be overwhelmed.
Lol. It means that we're about to see a LOT more loss porn over on the *other* WSB subreddit.
I have been investing since 2007. I have made A LOT of money investing. Below is what I write every time one of these threads are started yet no one believes me... This is what I have learned about investing ALL THESE YEARS: 1. Stocks go up, down, and sideways ALL THE TIME. 2. No one knows when any of the above is going to happen. If folks just accepted the two points above it would make EVERYONE a great investor. Why? if the above is true then you eliminate active management (security selection and market timing). This leads investors to the world of passive management.
My trick: have hard exit rules in case of resistance. You can ALWAYS buy back in for a minor extra cost. I also look at % not absolute return. That helps a LOT in making better trades.
> When 2008 happened, A LOT of people lost their jobs and it took them probably a while to find one because an economy needs to be recovering and growing to generate jobs. This is just vibes over facts. In 2008, unemployment went from 4.9% to 7.2%. Yes, that's very high, and yes that's a lot of people...but it still left the vast majority of working adults (90%+) with jobs. So you're right, not everyone could buy the dip, but I'm not sure what portion of those unemployed were big investors to begin with.
You're getting upvoted means this is going A LOT higher.
That’s all well and good but you’re forgetting you need income to DCA and keep buying. When 2008 happened, A LOT of people lost their jobs and it took them probably a while to find one because an economy needs to be recovering and growing to generate jobs. In that time of unemployment, they might have tried to hold and not sell and take the loss but might have been forced to out of necessity to pay for bills after burning through their reserve fund.
My fair value model currently has SPY at 940... let me reiterate, that's not a price target, that's FAIR value... just saying this has A LOT more room to run
This is not true, they went down a bit and then immediately up a lot, like A LOT.
Well, my $GUSH is up 4% so I guess that's something... should be a LOT more, of course.
bernie madoff was a fiduciary. it means nothing. a lot of SEC erisa or financial laws don't do anything. kind of like how almost every governor allows IUL scams in their state, which completely screws tons of poor people everywhere. erisa allows theft and they know it. your governor and your state's insurance commissioner knows that their licensed insurers are stealing A LOT more than people pistol-whipping kids and taking their pokemon cards and then doing 10 years in prison. intuit also already had a data breach. If the IRS put out that arbitrary bulletin, they're probably in on it. somehow there's a connection between intuit and the irs and they're on the same team. that would explain a lot of why it is the way it is.
Stocks are theoretically based on the present value of future cash flows. So when you think of a company as overvalued, you're saying "I don't think that this company will make enough money in the future to justify it's current valuation". In the case of NVIDIA, the company actually generates a LOT of cash and sells at the highest margins of any large company in history. They're actually pretty likely to grow to an extent that their valuation is justified. The big risk for them is that a competitor creates technology that erodes their margin, because they have to compete (they're so far ahead of the competition at the moment that they can price their products however they want). In the case of Tesla, the valuation is mainly based on hype and cult of personality. If Tesla absolutely dominates the car market for the next 20 years, it still wouldn't justify its current valuation. Hitting the shares is basically a gamble, that Elon creates something completely new that ends up being extremely profitable, noting that Elon does not have a history of strong profitability. Space X is in-between. It feels like a company that will be able to generate profit, but it will require putting things into space to become a huge industry (generating $100b+ of annual earnings for this one company). That might happen and it might not. At this stage, it's mainly driven by believing the guy who has said that self-driving cars are a year away, "at most" for the last 11 years. You're not being it on track record, you're heading it on a continuing hype cycle. If you think that'll continue, you should hold your shares. If you think that the house of cards might collapse, then you'd think about selling your stock in the IPO.
Or a LOT higher ? Maybe. Maybe highest we’ve ever seen
> Gonna get a lot of downvotes for this question but here it goes. It's unlikely; this conflict has not been planned well at all. That being said, there are a LOT of Iranian shills in here pushing public opinion to sway America to give up sooner because if America doesn't - Iran is royally fucked. Ultimately, everyone is familiar with the phrase: *"You don't negotiate with terrorists."* - and many people are focused on America, but ignoring the elephant in the room because they're Iranian shills: Iran is a terrorist nation that is literally threatening commercial and civilian infrastructure in the region as part of their war efforts. And allowing Iran to profit by threatening nearby civilian infrastructure is extremely taboo. Trump has already requisitioned an *increase* in the US military budget. By HALF. This is all potentially targeted at Iran. If anyone doesn't realize the significance of this increase - and they are unfamiliar with how much the US ALREADY spends on military - go look it up. Kharg Island is on the chopping block. This little venture was never going to end without the US taking Kharg and using it as a negotiation point. Bringing it back to relevance, since this Sub is nothing but propaganda: Everyone is waiting for the hammer to drop and these frequent increases are basically dead cats bouncing.
So every American will pay a LOT more for gas and everything else as the result. I am sure they will celebrate.
>TRUMP: US MAKES A LOT OF MONEY WHEN OIL PRICES GO UP ✅️ This is a stealth default.
48 years old in US. I have a 401k that I do contribute to over the years (at least getting the company match) while making lower salaries, but my salary has increased from $45k to $80K to upper $90's in a few years. I do not have a Roth IRA (or traditional for that matter), but I do have the Roth 401k option I am starting to contribute to within my company provided 401K. I know I have A LOT of catching up to do. 401K sits at $175K but only $7k is ROTH from a previous rollover, so the bulk of my 401K is traditional. Currently doing 10% (6% Roth/4% Trad). Could use advise on this split as well, if that could be better, please let me know. Can it be worth it to even start a Roth IRA now or just start pumping my 401k harder? I want to but often come to "why not raise my 401k deductions" conclusions. Looking to get out of my head and hear some logical information specific to this situation.
There are some examples of other companies that took many years to be profitable as well. Amazon is one. But since we are talking about a very different industry - do people here really think it's easy to develop what SpaceX has and accomplish what they have within the time span they have been around? Up until a few years ago, Reddit would pitch a tent simply at the mention of SpaceX, but now it's changed only because the person at the helm is a POS? We are suddenly flushing down the toilet with the hard work of a LOT of people who are not named Musk. The amount of blanket hate towards SpaceX is just ridiculous. Remove Musk from the company - is it still a terrible company? You don't have to like Musk to understand SpaceX is highly accomplished in its sector of the world. With the POTENTIAL rise (emphasis on potential) of the space industry and economy, there is no one even close to SpaceX. Whether reddit likes that or not. No one is arguing about Musk, we are talking about SpaceX and the accomplishments of ALL the people working there.
It's debatable on American corps but A LOT of start ups in silicon valley use Chinese LLM's due to them being insanely cheaper than their American counterparts. This has been somewhat of an open secret for a little while now.
"Dutch people hate Elon", sure, but there are A LOT of Tesla's on the road here... so i'm not sure they hate 'm as much as they love their Tesla's..
This. Not enough people talk about Mike Johnson and house republicans. A LOT of this what have stopped if they just did their damn jobs.
Probably some of his people bought a LOT, so he needs to get back his money and earn something So pltr is giga buy from now on
So what is your best advice about knowing when to sell, feeling out when a stock is done for the day? I mess this up A LOT.
>Trump: 'WORLD’S MOST POWERFUL RESET!!! President DJT' - Debt/GDP: 122.5% **(CRITICAL)** - Total Liabilities: $213.5T **(EXTREME)** - Liabilities/GDP: 679% **(TERMINAL)** - Interest/Revenue: 34% **(DEBT TRAP)** *TRUMP: WHEN OIL PRICES GO UP, WE MAKE A LOT OF MONEY*
Yes and no. Easy to see A LOT of gains I missed this way. But also trading on the brink of WW3 is pretty nerve racking….
The average person will have good enough AI to figure this stuff out. Humans have figured this stuff out it just takes A LOT of time & effort. Before the 2008 Great Recession Micheal Burry told his partners that mortgages were all mostly 💩. Burry’s partner thought he was insane for suggesting such a thing. Burry’s partner asks for proof thinking no one would actually do the task of looking through so much data. Burry did & it payed off in a major way. Now all that searching data can be done in seconds really by anyone smart enough to know where to look. AI will point you straight to the fraud, & connect all the dots. IN SECONDS.. This without a doubt a major issue for the Wall Street financial terrorists.
Rarity matters A LOT. Did units have 1 warrants or 1/2 or 1/3? That's probably the biggest factor.
And why would earnings come in strong? You dont think this will cost a lot of companies A LOT of money?
> Oil is used for A LOT more than just gas. Exactly. Doesn't it seem crazy that we are just burning the majority of it?
People come up to me and they say “Sir, please we’re winning too much. We don’t know what to do with all this money.” I made a A LOT of money for my friends over at the stock market….the market is “HOT” like no one has ever seen before! The Dow as at 50,000, but sleepy joe was asleep at the wheel. Do you think Obama had a stock market as bigly as this? The market….you know they sell these things called groceries there, right? But that’s the market for you. Lots of money. Very much. Lots of it”
Oil is used for A LOT more than just gas. The containers the gas is in are made from oil byproducts. Unless we figure out how to turn glass into plastic we'll never be off oil. Might be easier to modify bacteria to produce it than phase it out entirely.
He is a power hungry, egotistical, psychopath. I know a LOT of people who supported him still recently that have said they can no longer support republicans. Congress is sitting on its hands and allowing all this so they are just as complicit. I pray our country comes out of his term in one piece. Our kids and grandchildren will pay the price for what he’s doing and Congress is allowing.
Honestly, before I went almost fully boglehead, I used to buy (with little money) a few individual companies whose services I personally believed were used by regular people on a daily basis. But you know what I have found to be a rather good indicator that a company might be a good pick? If it's something that is spoken about a LOT online, but, also if people are just needlessly dumping on the company as well. I'm not sure if humans collectively are just very good at being "anti something" initially or if there are unscrupulous things being done to spin narratives online. But, I have made a TON of money buying some seriously hated companies on here. I always buy with a small amount in my Roth and then sell to buy an index within a few months. Do I recommend anyone else do this? Hell no. I only do it with a very small amount of money relative to my entire portfolio

No but someone is burning a LOT of cash to keep it under 100... like a LOT of cash.
To be honest, a lot of people probably make up the cost of the GLP-1 by eating out a LOT less.
I think your correct in everything you say ..except that the Tort is likely to be less than 10 years away. If I was to venture into Ozempic it would be a jump in jump out play ..before the shit hits the fan. When it comes to the product, people will always take the easiest least effort option (jab over exercise) so it will take A LOT of horror stories to stop its users from taking it. Weight gain and weight loss is an emotional thing and human emotions are extremely finicky Way too many people would rather pay the price of bad health and be slim over being obese and in better health. The oxy moron of GLP-1 :)
Oil executives aren’t alarmed of price hikes because the consumer pays that They’re alarmed that they would be funding A LOT of money to a country that actively hates them
The problem with that number is who is in the top 10%. That's just under 2 million iirc...1.8. Which includes a LOT of average people. Heck my mother is right there and her and pops (rip) live very boring conservative lifestyles, they just happen to live long enough and didn't piss away their funds. My neighbhood has multiple 10% people, nicer homes around me start around 1.3, and that's before we add their 401k, roth, brokerage funds and misc. So, as impressive as the 0% owns 90% might seem, it's really a huge number of ordinary people that saved over decades.
They tell me, SIR, this is one hell of a ceasefire. They tell me that they do, no one has seen anything like it not even Obama remember him. Barack HUSSEIN Obama who gave Iran A LOT of money can you believe that
Yeah. A LOT of oil production was taken out. There will just be less oil; despite it dropping, it's still up 50% from the beginning.
Surprised they don’t have “regime change in the US and Israel” as conditions. They could generate a LOT of popular support for that worldwide.
I've made A LOT of cash with a small Onds position and selling covered calls every time it gets one of those random +0.70 pumps. It always dial back in the following days so the premiums are free money.
Ok, this is purely my personal assessment, and there are LOT of assumptions, but I think it boils down to ONE major mistake. 1) They underestimated the replacements to the top guys they killed. They thought they had good intel, and eliminated 1st and 2nd line of leaders, leaving the guys they thought were neutral. annnd they werent, atleast they were not easy to negotiate with. Right now, things arent "great" but they also arent that bad, maybe the new guys are slightly moderate, if they agreed to no Nukes, No enrichment, etc. On Friday the 2 sides actually meet, we will see what the fate of Hezbollah, Hamas and the Houthis will be. If any progress is made there, it will be great, and if Iran takes 1% fee on Oil for it, then thats the cost of peace. The function of a compromise is that neither side gets a definitive win. So Its normal that it looks like the US lost, but in many ways they did not.
