Lasers, specifically InP laser substrates. We've seen a hint of it, but the next step of the AI buildout (which isn't going to slow down for at least another 2-3 years) requires a LOT of lasers.

Alright look. Imma keep it a buck with you, chief. I not only understand what’s up with the compounding pharmacies. I buy from them. Two of them in fact. And Lilly. I spend a LOT on this stuff. More than anyone would or should consider reasonable This is NOT medical advice. But I take two doses a week. I pay about $600 for a three month supply at a time from the compounders while Lilly charges, indeed, $400/mo Why do I do this? Specifically because the stuff has a LONG shelf life (1/2 years) and I am keeping my finger on the pulse of the FDA and its movements to shut down compounding of tirzepatide specifically. Have they succeeded yet? Nope. But some are switching to redistribution of brand name Zepbound instead of compounded Tirzepatide because they see which way the winds are blowing Other pharmacies are riding it out to the bitter end. But the only thing saving them right now is a limitation on FDA enforcement resources.

We have 40-50k troops in the area We’ve been targeting their radar and stuff Ammunition costs typically spike before a significant military event.. which it has increased by like 50% in the last month or so We haven’t sent Israel a tanker of light crude since October 2023 which coincides with their “war” with gaza. We just sent one last week. Urgent evacuation advisories as far south as Egypt We’ve been arming gulf states with offensives and defensives alike EU powers are beginning to circle the wagon The fact that neither side is willing to bend here so far and peace has been undermined at almost every turn, so something must break. It’s not a for sure thing, but there are undoubtedly a LOT of signs that we invade soon.

From Aug 24 when it reported 106.25M for the quarter, to now where it's estimated to report 231.62M for the last quarter. That's a 2x in 2 years, great. Meanwhile the price went from around 5 to 151 at the peak, now at 65. That's a 30x to the peak, 13x to now. So yea, I'd say A LOT is priced in... still.

I actually work in the “picks and shovels” industry for pharmaceutical research. I don’t know what’s happening in the research labs of Astrazenica and GSK or other big pharma primes… but something BIG is on the horizon Or maybe a LOT of small somethings. But these pharma companies seem to be pouring what amounts to “unlimited money” into bleeding-edge research equipment. Gene sequencing, machine vision, quantum computing, you name it. They’re all in some race and no one seems to know where they’re going

I think I'll start a position sooner or later. Fundamentals are now way too cheap. The sector is shit tho, but it's the cheapest vs its competitors so it should be fine long term no margin tho and why the fuk you keep buying so aggressively, just give it time (A LOT OF TIME)

It's interesting because most of the increase has been in the blue collar sector. However, that makes sense. We deported a LOT of blue collar workers, and that creates competitive pressure. Meanwhile, on the white collar sector, it's under a lot of pressure in the other direction from AI. Future lucrative career is being a handyman.

Literally none of those were top 10 shows. Take Kaos for instance. The viewership dropped sharply from week to week. https://www.aol.com/articles/real-reason-netflix-canceled-kaos-234500000.html Same with 1899 https://www.bgr.com/entertainment/this-is-probably-why-netflix-canceled-1899/ Do you guys really believe Netflix is in the business of cancelling shows that get A LOT of episode to episode viewership? Do they hate money in your eyes?

First of all, it was a joke... But since you have clearly taken umbrage, "July tried, but **finished down 0.1%**.

Nothing is free if you want to have that keyhole of a view on life. I look at it like this: I pay $23/mo and get to play a LOT of full price games for "free" The remake was horrible. It's what happens the 4th time a game is made. Instead of reading ANY of the books and making a good halo game lol

TLDR: play the range, even if it’s still forming. The first time Microsoft went up to 460, then dropped HARD, so I sold everything on the way down at 424. It almost immediately dropped back down below 400, so once again, I started buying heavily. \*\*This time, I used that 460 as my selling guide\*\*, so I sold half around 450 after earnings, much better than my original 424. But it feels like there’s a re-rating for software, Microsoft and ServiceNow especially, finally getting some respect, so this time I’m gonna watch the price action and maybe hold the other half (it’s A LOT) for a long time. Buying is a science, selling is an art. btw NOW stock: identical story to MSFT, basically identical timeline, u can overlay the charts and see.

What would you see? I imagine a LOT of the deleveraging happened over the last month as the index dropped over 40%. It's not surprising to see a big rebound (maybe not this big) even without more leverage, especially if the sell-off was overdone.

Several factors at play here, IMO. 1) Mechanical investing. For quite a while now, the market has been THE place to go if you want long-term gains. Many institutions and individuals investing regularly and mechanically REGARDLESS of market conditions, because if the market enters a bear market or even crashes, the odds are in 10-15 years, the investment will still have made money in real terms. Where else are such investors going to put their money? Bonds? Maybe, but bonds have dogs for a long time to the point that I think it will take a prolonged period of high yields to attract investors. 2) Passive investors. The data is clear: For most people, a broad-based index fund is how to make money. Passive investing was 15% of the market less than 20 years ago. It is now nearly 60% of the market. A LOT of buyers don;t care about an indivudal stock is doing and are just ALWAYS buying the index. 3) "Buy the dip" algorithmic trading. A lof of institutional investors have built-in "buy the dip" algorithms which tend to blunt negative trends. That's a lot of built in demand. Does that mean a bear market or even a crash can't happen? No. Higher inflation can drive people to Bonds if the yields are pushed up. Higher unemployment could create forced selling in large funds if people are forced to withdraw retirement savings to survive a layoff. That could cause a steep sell-off since it would be a reinforcing action. But what else are people with investible surpluses going to do? Put it in a showbox?

Historical rallying of Samsung and SK Hynix had A LOT of people getting so rich suddenly. A lot of retirement savings were already invested into Samsung especially, but with AI surge and insane bonuses of their workers, so many became instant millionaires. This created intense FOMO + everyone+Govt hyping up these stocks + newly created Samsung/SK leverage options= many younger investors went all in to become catch up quickly. (I'm said genz Korean)

With a bit of googling I could name a LOT of CEOs who built multi-billion dollar companies who then burnt it to the ground. Not every CEO is the best CEO for each stage of the lifecycle that the company is at. A lot of successful fortune 500 CEOs would fall flat on their face if they tried to start their own business. And a lot of founders can't transition to being a good CEO when their company gets too big (Elon Musk is IMO a good example of this).

That’s why you trade perps on Hyperliquid. 24/7 trading on synthetic oil, synthetic NASDAQ 100. I just put $100 on $SKHY short with 6x leverage & it mooned like hat 🧢 w/dog until I got stopped out bc I put risk at 2% and profit at 6% instead of 3% and 10%. I was up a LOT and cashed out initial investment but then got taken out and ended up with a 95% return. I’m new, just learning.

People have to understand a few things. 1. Most of these companies aren't going away. The way Apple or Microsoft has embedded itself in the daily lives of practically everyone across the world is incomparable to any prior tech companies. Apple is not going out of business in the next 20 or even 30 years. 2. A LOT can happen between now and 2050. Namely, severe recession/depression and/or the re-enforcement of ***antitrust laws.*** Enforcing our laws like they should be enforced could easily see a company like Apple, Microsoft, or Nvidia, broken up into smaller companies. Depending on the company, shareholders could lose a ton of money. Will most of the Mag 7 ***probably*** still be dominant in 2050? To varying degrees, yes. But a lot can happen between now and then, especially in a very turbulent political climate.

ex employee here. was there for 3 years as well and had A LOT of stock. i bypassed extra salary in the hopes the stock would be worth something someday. my purchase price was super low, like 1 cent a share or something around there, maybe less. after the stock split i went from 140k to 211 shares and ended up actually losing money on it all. pretty disgusting with lime and the executives and how much they fucked over all the early employees. will never forgive them. and yes i know stock splits are common, but a 2:1 or a 5:1... they did a 660:1... absolutely fucking insane

So outside of NVIDIA there are three types of companies, there are model providers like OpenAI and Anthropic, hyperscalers like Oracle and Coreweave, and then there’s harness providers like GitHub Copilot and Claude Code. We’re also seeing basically cloud compute service layers and special funding vehicles but those add A LOT of unecessary complexity so I’ll keep it simple. Basically the way tech works is they get Venture Capital funding through various funding rounds, I think OpenAI is on their like 13th or so. But they basically say “we’ll give you X amount for Y percent of the company”, this lets them have a runway until they can deliver a product and start making money. But because of things like Uber and Amazon it’s become a larger trend to effectively run at a HUGE loss to get market share, like in Ubers case their burn was something like 300% of revenue, then once they have market they increase and charge actual cost. Where this is running into issues is the cost for compute that the model providers need to charge to even begin to break even is actually insane. The cost of a single B200 GPU is $50,000, that means if it’s financed over the 6 year period that NVIDIA is claiming they need to charge $1.50 per hour assuming full usage and no failure. Thats just the GPU as well, no other hardware, physical space, power, cooling, construction, or maintenance, and it doesn’t account for the 6% annual failure rate. Then each server rack has 72 of those GPUs, and each data center will have THOUSANDS of racks. So this is just to outline the scale we’re looking at. The GPUs are being sold are being marked as profits on NVIDIAs books, but they’re not being marked as assets or liabilities on the hyperscalers, so they’re sitting in this grey area where because the data centers aren’t built (and some are barely started because of various reasons) they have no place to go. It’s estimated we won’t see Q1 2025 sales turned on till Q3 2027, it’s not even a consideration of power in this, it’s just space and building. The power is an issue, but not one that can be solved quickly as regulatory compliance takes time, so I’m kind of setting that aside. Then all of this is on the backdrop of NVIDIA releases new GPUs every year, so by the time the ones from 2025 are turned on they will be two years out of date. As to the financing and demand, it was the case that everyone was promising to purchase compute from others, but now Meta, Google, and Amazon are all seeking to rent out their compute to other companies. Microsoft took GitHub CoPilot to usage based billing and lost a huge number of subscribers. Companies are now looking to cutback after Uber announced they spent their entire annual AI budget by May. This is where the demand is failing, OpenAI cannot convert free users to a $6 monthly subscription. So while NVIDIA may be able to sell GPUs, the companies buying from them have no planned ROI. Thats the issue here, there is no consumer base for this. If NVIDIA is selling $10M in GPUs to a company promising to rent back whatever they can’t sell that’s not a good business model, that’s just an unwillingness to let the party stop.

To me, what you've really described is supply catching up and maybe even exceeding demand. Right now there is a high demand for AI, but the supply for AI hasn't caught up to that demand. This is clearly an investment opportunity, so there are many companies working to build out supply. I can see how this might match the fiber-optic build-out of the past, however there are some challenges to that argument. Mostly forecasting wasn't done well, and was WAY overly optimistic about how much bandwidth the internet would need and how fast it would grow. Some of these forecasts assumed so much more of these dotcom companies than would actually happen. We were an optimistic bunch back then. Turns out we DID need that much fiber, we just didn't need it all at one time. We built for the expectation of demand, not for actual demand. It wasn't easy to know for sure, we were in uncharted territory at the time. Right now there are some similarities. We're building out a LOT of data center capacity, and we're also in uncharted territory. To me, the difference is that we are seeing a lot of actual demand, instead of possible demand. Don't get me wrong, I see a lot of possible demand as well, but is it true or not? >So, if the capital cycle theory is correct, this spending on AI infrastructure should be overbuilt; then there won't be enough demand to justify the cost of this infrastructure, asset prices fall, and we return to reality. So there is the big question. Right now, there DOES seem to be enough demand to justify the cost of this infrastructure, but when will supply meet demand? That's what the focus should be on. In theory, if done right, once supply meets demand, companies won't need to spend nearly as much on infrastructure, and start taking in profit from inference.

TITLE CARD: A TOTALLY REAL PRESIDENTIAL ADDRESS SATIRE — NOT ACTUAL FOOTAGE OR AUDIO [0:00–0:05] VISUAL: Grand presidential entrance. Excessively dramatic patriotic music. The speaker approaches a podium surrounded by far too many American flags. TRUMP: “Next year?” [Long, confused pause. He looks sideways at an imaginary adviser.] “We just had the invasion—the greatest invasion Cuba has seen.” [Beat.] “Or, rather, did not see.” [0:06–0:20] VISUAL: Ridiculously overproduced military montage. Troops sprint toward a beach, immediately turn around, and display a giant “MISSION ACCOMPLISHED” banner. On-screen stopwatch reads 00:00:47. TRUMP: “Because our men, our boys, our elite-athlete troops completed their task—a very difficult task, perhaps the most difficult task ever known to man and mankind—in a minute.” [Leans toward microphone.] “Less than a minute.” [0:21–0:30] VISUAL: Animated calendar transforms into thousands of tiny stopwatch icons. Nonsensical equations appear: ONE YEAR = LOTS OF MINUTES LESS THAN ONE MINUTE = A LOT LESS THAN ONE YEAR TRUMP: “That’s equivalent to a lot less than a year. You have a lot of minutes in a year, so let that sink in.” [Kitchen sink slowly descends from above.] “Let that sink in.” [0:31–0:45] VISUAL: Heroic slow-motion footage of Trump looking at clocks, watches and microwave timers. A counter labelled “PRESIDENTIAL MINUTES” spins uncontrollably. TRUMP: “The years of my presidency are the best—the best years America could ask for.” “Even more so, I have been president for a lot of minutes. So many minutes.” [Counter explodes.] [0:46–0:58] VISUAL: The music becomes absurdly emotional. An aide repeatedly offers him a pillow. TRUMP: “But I have never tired.” [Immediate cut to him yawning.] “Of course I’m tired. I’m more tired than any American has ever been.” “But I have never tired of my role as supreme leader of the United Kingdom of—” [Record scratch.] “I mean, States of America.” [0:59–1:08] VISUAL: Map of the United States appears. Alaska and Hawaii receive gold medals. Florida receives a participation ribbon. TRUMP: “The best states in America.” [Thoughtful pause.] “Possibly even the best states in the world.” [1:09–1:15] VISUAL: Fireworks, soaring eagle, flags, kitchen sink and the exploding minute-counter all return simultaneously. TRUMP: “God bless you all.” [Whisper.] “God.” [Normal volume.] “Bless.” [Shouting directly into microphone.] “AMERICA!”

1. That is true for any commodity. Doesn’t mean it is not a good investment in certain scenarios. 2. I agree. This crazy run up needed a correction. Not sure where the bottom is. 3. I tend to agree. The argument is that there were some big sellers (Russia and Turkey for example) that sold during the crisis. Basically using gold as it is intended. The fundamentals for gold in the long term are still there with all the money printing. Plus i’m very curious on the China play. They are dumping US bonds and buying A LOT of gold right now.

What's interesting to think about, like for any product, your money will be their ROI. And this means, either they cut so many jobs that their companies are essentially running on AI Agentry and selling the same amount to you, consuming. Or they keep a lot of jobs, at costs, which means they have to sell a fuck more to you, the consumers. Their Revenues come from advertising(95% from Meta, 85% from Google) and they come also from a small part from your cloud services for Google (15%). So It is fair to realize that alllll this capex and having negative revenue cashflows and this competitve on AI is will only be rewarded by shoving a FUCKING LOT of advertisement in your mouth, probably gonna get really better at Singular Advertising than it is today. But That Means that other companies must really see that You the consumers bought their products because of them. So massive investements --> developing the next gen of AI hyperscallers --> But you gonna need to see a lot of advertisement and I believe you're gonna have to pay those sucriptions monthly, and thye're gonna try to force it hich might have a big drawback. Anyway yeah just a thought on how they can ever get ROI from this. Huge ammount of value still remains in the MASSIVE amount of data they are collecting form the world although no expressed directly in revenue . I think disrtuption by the OpenAi, Anthropic, Xai, think AI browsers , with singular agentry for everyone but at a begginer entry level availability and New types of communicating devices ( cellphones or new type) might also disrupt these Pillars Mag 7 of the dotcom era. It does make sense they are investing a lot. I do believe it might also be the moment where for a few years we ont see those all time highs e have seen in the past years.

I’m selective in a few ways. For starters, I don’t trade every everything — chop, FOMC/rate decisions, or conditions I don’t like and I’ll sit out. I trade around key support/resistance and levels that I mark on SPX. For example, if SPX rejects a resistance level that I marked, I may sell a call spread with my short strike above that level. I’m not saying “SPX has to go down.” I’m saying “I don’t think it gets through here.” If SPX reclaims that level and invalidates my thesis, I take the loss. Which leads me to, and most importantly, being selective with my losses. I look at every entry as paying to see if my idea works. If the market invalidates it, I take the loss. I used to struggle with accepting losses when I first started and I think that destroys more traders than their actual entry strategy does. Sizing down helped me A LOT with this

I don't trust Oracle anymore, but these sentiment analysis are so wrong. SaaS revenue is irrelevant compared to legacy on-premise support, which is around the same, except it brings in a LOT more margin. Support and Cloud revenues are so stable and so reliable, that Oracle uses them as loan warranty. Name one neocloud who has that luxury. We see Nebius trading at 250+ under promises of revenue and importance, but without any other business, products or warranties. As soon as the stock goes up, I'm dumping my RSUs yesterday for sure, I don't trust Oracle as an employer anymore either, they have permanently damaged their already shit image - but the current level it is trading is absurd considering other contexts.

I agree of course, but it is interesting that China has the pressure lever here… all they have to do is slowly increase their own demand. Ig it speaks to the mutuality of the global economy, and if using an adversarial lens, they benefit by weakening America’s hegemony, whether with direct military capabilities, domestic spending or via global relations. Anyways, it can’t be manipulated forever. Iran isn’t in full scale war yet though… they have a LOT of targets they could go after to really squeeze the region.. maybe the calculus is to not crush gulf states but dissuade them from the US tendrils. If so.. and if this is going how it looks.. fuck man.. we’re watching a reality tv show guy fuck up America’s global dominance based on a sunk cost fallacy and impulsivity while eying the fucking midterms… all the bluster just makes it look more pathetic too This second round is psyopped af too it seems.

> it'’s only like 2% but you get to collect that 2% as the price rises, & it will! Not worth the risk, not worth the reward. You have no idea what the price will do, and I have made more with my savings account for a fraction of the risk. > We could easily see Eth at $10k-$25k by 2029. Possibly $50k by 2030, but I like to stay conservative. Based on ... *what?* I left /r/ethereum for the silly price predictions based on absolutely nothing. I'm confident ETH will be worth more in the future. I just don't like to pretend that anybody knows how much more. 10k is a meme. 50-60 or whatever is just ridiculous. The marketcap would be $6 Trillion. The most valuable commodity on the planet ... I simply don't see that. Especially since the use cases, while growing, have simply only replicated tradfi functionality and produced basically only casino games. Yes, P2P money transfer is a very valuable functionality and use case. But most of everything else has just been hot air. There's also my growing centralization concern with Ethereum specifically (basically all other crypto already had this issue). Examples: centralized stablecoins, centralized node hosting on the cloud, centralized staking services, centralized layer 2s, increasing US institutional centralization (ETFs, etc). I think Ethereum has a ***LOT*** to prove in the next few years, and so far it hasn't proven to be worth the hype, not even close. Crypto is more despised than ever by most people. If crypto is to be just the backbone of Tradfi 2.0, well ... that's great and all, but that's not what the vision of crypto was years ago. That's not how it was sold to us. Again I'll just point to even [Vitalik being disappointed](https://www.reddit.com/r/ethereum/comments/1rjyqnx/sanctuary_technologies/) with what Ethereum has shown so far.

Buffett started in 1956 with $100 of his own money and $105,000 of other money from investors. That would be closer to starting with **$1,294,904.60** **today****.** **It’s definitely possible to knock that amount towards the moon over 70 years using his strategies.** **But a LOT is also going to lean on timing. 1956 was a great year to start investing. If Buffett had instead started investing in a bad year for investing (such as at the height of 1999) it would likely have taken 10-20 years off his earliest gains or derailed him completely.**

Holy shit! There must have been a LOT of dumbfucks who bought at the top Never seen so many bagholder posts on Reddit for any other company

Yes, RESPs for both kids. I’m balanced managed funds because I don’t trust me with their education funds. I live in Winnipeg, so cost of living is very affordable. I plan on <800k house with a 240k down payment.  My spouse has A LOT of money and of a pension as well. She currently makes as much as I do, but may opt to step back for the family for the next few years. Currently after all living expenses paid, I’m sitting on about 5k surplus a month. I’ve been covering all expenses to allow my spouse to invest as much as possible before a potential resignation.

Uh IPOs can and often end up down a LOT for a LONG TIME. Sure at some point it might moon farther, but Elon beat em to the moon pricing. He priced it like Tesla is currently valued (a ridiculous multiple). In summation, if there is a god, fuck no, it should 50 before and stay around there before eventually 300 in a decade when it's actually kinda mabey worth it if ever.

1000$ is a LOT of Wendys

Americans have a lot more disposable income than Europeans, and the US stock market has much higher returns than EU. Source: I spend a lot of time in Europe and this is consistent with every educated professional I’ve spoken to. Americans romanticize the European economy but their wages are way lower, taxes are higher, and economy doesn’t grow nearly as fast. It’s a lot harder to build wealth in Europe. America does not have as good safety nets as Europe, but it’s a LOT easier to make money in the US than any other country, in part because you can just buy stock in any top 10 company and make meaningful returns in the long run. Many countries are not allowed to invest in the US stock market to incentivize local investment.

Couldn't agree more. I've been very happy between PANW and CRWD. If we see a good pullback here, I'm throwing a LOT at CRWD.

I'm buying slowly and starting to accumulate here. I like it A LOT at these prices, but I want to see the company start to execute before I go all in. I think PENG has better 3-6 month potential.

Remember, a stocks price is solely a function of the people buying and selling that stock at any given moment. On average, for any given company, about 1% of the float trades on a given day. So to "manipulate" the stock, you merely have to have enough money to push 51% of that float in a given direction. The lower the volume (.5% or .25% or .1% of the float) the less money you need to move the needle (which is why "manipulation" is more drastic in the pre/post market). Anyway, who has access to unlimited sums of money? Who can print money out of thin air if they want? The banks, the fed, the gov, and by extension the hedge funds... not just American, but central banks around the world. Hell, all the NATO economies are basically one giant ass central bank working in concert. They can't control everything, but you better believe they can control A LOT of the price action in the market if they want to.

Honestly it was adjusted up for the year last quarter. They might, but they also only spent $35b last quarter so there's a LOT left on the table for the remaining quarters.

Yes I know mate we all make our own mistakes Issue was while the market was good I was leveraging a LOT and it worked out. So I had 10k weeks just ThetaGanging Obviously you think your invincible then when it does downturn you get blown out. As I said in other comments lessons learned the hard way. I'm still making income so its all.good

Okay here me out. Amazon built AWS when there was very little competition which is why they became such a dominate force in a service only a handful of companies could provide. Everyone and their mother is in data centers/neocloud I could literally name you like 20 companies. There is a LOT of competition right now and margins are only going to get worse. Furthermore capex is not a one time build out (it’s yearly and reoccurring) and the ROI will not be there unless you can produce the top model (they can’t and won’t). Theres a reason why anthropic does not cut out the middle man and build their own data centers — they are not retarded and can just pay retards for their compute. The irony is that once everyone realizes this and GPU/CPU/RAM come back to earth then the actual cost of compute will come down and we can get a wider adoption of AI. The first sniff of any hyperscalers slowing down capex this whole thing will implode.

Recover?!? They are still up like 1000% over the last year and a half. There’s still a LOT of room for them to drop though

So I’m 26 years old and working in tech, pay is only in the six figures a year, and I really have nothing to my name because I have both a gambling AND a strip club problem, BUT I’m getting a $4m inheritance (from my grandmother, she lived to 108 fucking years old). It likely won’t be for at least a year given that the estate will take time to settle so it’s a long time, but that’s A LOT of money to yolo with. You know maybe some lender out there will be willing to give me an advance on it and sure there will probably be some insane interest rate but that doesn’t matter because if I put it into SPCX calls it will pay off many many times over… Actually just found a guy in Miami who will advance it at a 215% interest rate, so that means I’ll owe him $12.6m by the end of next year. If I put it all into SPCX calls a 10 bagger is conservative because Elon is saving humanity so that means I’ll make close to $30m if I take this deal. I only need to multiply my capital by 3.15x (maybe 6.3x after taxes), which feels conservative given that I’ve literally done 500x before (and of course I lost it all)…

VWCE for sure, though I personally prefer WEBN (lower TER). A typical world index is about 60% US, so you get a LOT of exposure. In fact, I completely understand people who get world ex-US, then add SP500 as a separate exposure they can control. S&P500 is obviously much less diversified than a world index, but the US has historically outperformed international markets. I personally also invest into IMAE/CSEMU, just because of currency stuff. Also, don't get SPYL, get a synthetic ETF like Invesco's P500/SPXS. It should have better performance because it's more tax efficient.

If I sell now, I have to work A LOT to cover the loss😭

I have no idea what the real estate market is like in Prague, but I will warn you that buying a home is probably a LOT more expensive than you think with closing and moving costs, ongoing maintenance and surprise repairs (especially if you're not handy enough to do them yourself). Make sure you are being realistic as you weigh the options. Speak with other home owners to get a sense of the true cost, not just the mortgage payment.

KLesTheUnforgettable

And it's gonn go a LOT lower.  Wait until the pre-IPO people become unrestricted in December. 

brucekeller

How long do you think that's going to last when we are right around the corner from AI surveillance cameras literally everywhere? Is something like Teladoc really going to be more trustworthy than a large corporation with its own army of lawyers with a LOT to lose if they had a major scandal that could boot them out of a trillion dollar revenue stream? Plus, considering AWS houses so much data already, what makes you think your info is all that safe anyway?

PsychoSynthesizer

Well, if those memory earnings are going to come in as people expect, then they've definitely just got a LOT cheaper, I guess

Jim Cramer made a few hundred mil running a hedge fund, then launched a newsletter off the back of that and got a TV gig - which is basically just a hobby for him. Cathie Wood pitched her idea to her firm, Alliance Bernstein, and was told no. She left to start ARK on her own. She raised A LOT of money at the perfect time. Even though her ETFs have been disasters, they still generate at least $10 million in management fees every year. Her firm does not have a lot of expensive staff. I think her peak management fees in a year were almost $100 million.

We're going to need A LOT more espresso.

I mean I believe it. Gas prices were huge drivers and they have gone down A LOT. In my area alone they are 50 cent or more cheaper a gallon compared to a month ago

MSFT dropping with SaaS makes no sense to me while GOOGL is holding up. It will be a LOT easier to replace google ads from search than the MSFT ecosystem. Market share of gemini is a lot lower than search in its field. I personally use google search around 10% of what it was before.

Me-Regarded

I like some software, like now, CRM... But not at these prices. I'm a developer and I have been personally replacing off the shelf software for my company with things we've built internally. There's a LOT of room for software to fall. It's about to get bad

There's a lot of cameras out there that need monitoring. A LOT. Way too many for state services to handle by themselves while ensuring loyalty and secrecy.

didnotsub

You’re putting a LOT of leniency in “show them”. That’s the hardest step of the process. Meta certainly uses machine learning to target ads specifically to certain users. That’s almost their entire business.

Buy a used car. That’s a *huge* deal to enable getting [better] work for a LOT of teens. For at least some fresh adults that’s literally the difference between Taco Bell because it’s in walking distance and a better paying job they can commute to.

TRICERAFL0PS

I was using Cuda in 2012, I don’t remember the market hating it - or even having an opinion about it then. I was also writing hello-world NNs in 2016 to make sure I prepared for what was coming. I’m far from an expert in the field, but I’ve been hanging out in and around "AI" since 2007 or so. All I can say is you seem like you have read a LOT. And I commend that. But I have no idea what you are talking about.

fenriswulfwsb

Well that's the issue isn't it. Iran's leadership has very little to lose and the current US administration has A LOT to lose as it faces decling popularity heading into mid-terms. Unless the US is committed to a total invasion (which it obviously isn't), Iran is gonna win this bluffing game cause it can wait the situation out.

What purpose do p-o-l-y-m-a-r-k-e-t and k-a-l-s-h-i even have besides allowing for insider trading? The CEOs are both complete slimeballs. Anyways a lot of people are going to be making A LOT of money this week…

Agreed A huge chunk of a LOT of fields are drudgery that AI is uniquely suited to As long as you’re willing to proofread it it’s a massive force multiplier

Oh for sure. But being rich makes it a LOT easier.

> The fact that most of their large single-stock positions issue qualified dividends saves them a LOT every tax season, when compared to selling the same amount (which they would need to do otherwise) Uhhhhh no. Qualified dividends are treated *exactly the same* as long term capital games. It saves them literally 0 when compared to selling the same amount. Actually it *saves* them negative money because if they sold instead they wouldn't have to pay taxes on any principal amount and would only pay taxes on the gains. Holy hell people really don't understand finance, huh?

AttackBacon

I generally agree, but there is a specific use for dividends, specifically qualified dividends, because they're tax-advantaged federally. For instance, my folks had a large inheritance that didn't receive a step-up in basis, so it was entirely taxable and full of crazy gains (like Exxon from the 1950s etc.). The fact that most of their large single-stock positions issue qualified dividends saves them a LOT every tax season, when compared to selling the same amount (which they would need to do otherwise). That's a pretty niche situation, but it is an advantage that's good to be aware of if you ever find yourself with a large holding in a taxable account.

You literally cannot lose. Fuck the haters. Use all the money. You made A LOT. But how much did you not make, yet?

Plus all the extra revenue from the world cup: Australia, Brazil, Canada, Croatia, England, France, Netherlands, Norway, South Korea, Turkey, United States, and Uruguay All of them partnered with Nike. The us was a surprise and I definitely saw A LOT of jerseys. Canada was a sponsor of the event so a lot of Canadians bought it. England is going far France is one of the biggest potential winners
