I LOVE the downvotes! I hope they're real as I am betting A LOT of money on the downfall of the AI bubble! I'm extremely drunk right now, but I'm delighted in the fact that I will be able to make copious amounts of money off all of you rubes.
You get to a point where you get so used to your regular contributions to your investments that you almost "forget" about them and just continue on with life. Downturn then doesn't mean very much as long as you continue to hold your job. Most importantly, you need to get used to living on salary minus monthly investment contributions. That helps a LOT
I do the same thing. When the stock rises ?X i sell enough to gain back my original investment then hold the rest til I decide to dump them. Its all free shares at that point. My best was CAPR at avg cost of $1.10. Wish I would have bought a whole LOT more. Still have some and buy the dips also.
but what if they need A LOT of power, and power is always the bottleneck regardless of the amount you have
Is no one going to talk about the fact that AMZN (by a LOT), META and MSFT didnt even beat the market lmao
A message to everyone that suddenly figures it out and has a really good month. STOP TRADING, THEY FLAG YOU IF YOU ACTUALLY LEARN TO TRADE, MAKE A LOT OF TRADES AND ARE PROFITABLE. YOU HAVE STATISTICALLY SIGNIFICANT EDGE AND THEY LITERALLY ANALYZE WHAT YOU DO THEN GET THEIR AI TO DO IT AHEAD OF YOU/RUIN YOUR TRADES. YOU WILL GET YOUR PORT STOLEN, ITS NOT ABOUT LOSING IT THEY WILL STEAL IT TO MAKE A POINT.
yeah RKLB is trading at a price 50 dollars higher than it should. And its share price is basically backed by the value of an ASTS share, a company with no revenue. And indeed, RKLB is in a bad financial condition. They will dilute a LOT more times, they have to. I also have the feeling that they're trying to pump their own stock. They're focusing heavily on marketing their stock. Everytime it drops, they drop some good news. Last time it dropped with 50%, they dropped a whole video of Neutron the day after. It's quite obvious they're trying to pump it heavily before diluting. They want to raise as much cash as possible
Really like your emphasis on the next position being 100% unrelated to the last. This is where a majority of my losses stem from. Calls tanked so puts it was. Then it just moved right back up or sideways. I found myself doing this A LOT.
Not a good comparison . Growing tomatoes saves you about .05 a pound. Growing pot saves you A LOT more
Dollar has devalued a LOT since COVID
So markets die starting in January or next week until one of the Kevin's are picked as next federal reserve chairman and they lower rates BY A LOT in May
I check it once a month since I started investing in 2008. I only check it that often because I have to add up all the monies around all the accounts, calculate the asset allocations, figure out what what is under the target asset allocation, then throw the money for the month into that asset(s). Rinse-repeat every month since 2008. Only difference is I try to rob/ kill to find new monies when the market is crashing to find as much monies I can to throw into the market when it is falling like a rock. The feeling of throwing money into a falling market is like jumping off a diving board with no water in pool. Odd sensation, but THAT is what makes you A LOT of money in the long term!
There is no guarantee any individual stock will ever recover its price. If you buy low you must be prepared for it to continue to drop or be stagnant forever. If you do not understand this you should not be trading stocks. What you are doing is at best gambling. Gambling at a table with people who have a LOT more experience than you. If you keep going, you ARE going to learn a hard lesson.
Spacex burns a LOT of money. And they have some very lofty goals. Depends on if starlink is included in the IPO. But I'd like to see more progress on the starship front before I truly think the IPO isn't just to prevent bankruptcy.
I lost a lot (a LOT) of money on some of these stocks due to this and inexperience and have had to waste time making up for it elsewhere. GPH.V has been doing well and will very likely continue to, especially if you can buy in under 1.50 CAD. UCU.V is another that is a bargain under $6. UUUU under 14 also good.
There have been some very compelling arguments. I was just looking at the volume vs movement on CRLBF on Thursday. The bulls were buying, A LOT. for that name anyway. The downward movement were big dumps and getting bought up but the strike prices looked artificially low. So a lot of buying into it but floor just dropped as soon as you were in.
> Just for reference, meta is the cheapest mag 7 around 20 forward PE When talking about forward PE, you really have to consider the kind of business. Tech businesses (mostly Software with little infrastructure overhead) generally end up having higher PEs due to their profit margins. Stuff like Micron has A LOT of overhead. That being said, TSMC, a more comparable company is at 20 right now, so what do I know?
Two things: - Supply chain they put a lot of investment in their delivery and storage network. This is actually one thing that made Walmart very successful but Amazon was able to integrate online and delivery very well - Cloud business. AWS really took off and solved a LOT of headaches with IT
There’s never too many or too little. It depends on your style . Warren Buffett would say less is best , Peter Lynch proudly owned a LOT (150 at least if I recall correctly) . Both very successful long term investors. John Bogle would tell you to just buy a low cost total US stock market index fund and a low cost total US bond market index fund. Today you could replace that with a All World stock market ETF and a All World bond market ETF.
As others have said, its no catch. If anything, its patience and consistency. You will hear about people making huge profit in crypto, or palantir, or nvidia and some really do. A vast majority do not. And many people panic when the market has a temporary downturn and panic sell everything (locking in their losses). As a starting point, take a look at the sub for boggleheads. Such as 70% broad market (VOO,SPY,VTI, etc.) and 30% VXUS (or equivalent for international exposure). You can tweak and adjust, but that gives you a starting foundation. The challenge is too keep adding to your investment over time (DCA), so that compound interest kicks into gear later on. Yes the market can crash, and sometimes even for a few years it can be done. But when you invest for 20-40 years, the challenge is not to panic and just keep investing and over time it will grow. You can backtest previous years and see how your investment strategy could look like at: https://testfol.io/ Again a lot of people hear about the chill stocks because many people know...but a LOT of people don't know, or get bored or overconfident (or desperate) and want to chase max profits. Thats when you see them on wallstreetbets posting.
Yeah ive also probably doubled what I've put into this sub this year. Sure I could've made A LOT more money if I had sold perfectly but I played it safe and profited overall
Yeah I assumed there would be some inherent bias with wealth source (i.e. people know teaching pays poorly but they know they're inheriting wealth) as well as there being a LOT of teachers in sheer volume. In my original comment I was gonna mention I wonder how much it is based off of % of the profession but didn't feel like it.
OP DMing you I trade a LOT in this space and can send you a guide / tickers
*It’s beginning to LOOK A LOT like Christmas…* *Jake Paul got knocked the fuk out* *Oh lord hallelujah*
It did appreciate a LOT already prior to earnings though.
There was A LOT of bullshit this week: 1. The Epstein Black Files release 2. Jake Paul vs. Joshua fight 3. Empty CPI report 4. Warrior “Dividend”
He had a long period of outperformance against the S&P in the past. Because Berkshire grew a lot bigger throughout the years it gets A LOT more difficult to outperform.
defo not a bot - i get it tho, there is a LOT of hate being spread in here so it would almost make a lot of sense that someone who leads with compassion would seem less than human - oh compassion, it IS a human emotion btw. very common in fact. wont you try too, shakesbeerme?
because they rolled their Oct FTDs into Dec 19th calls as the hedge. If it falls under $4 they lose money, if it goes above $5 they lose a LOT more
Yeah, I actually SUCK at buying options with weeks or months for expiration. They all go to $0. That’s why I’m trying to do 0DTE and actually, I don’t have A LOT of profit but I do something. I just need to have better results
Cheap != value!! If you end up buying cheap stuff, you end up with a LOT of junk!
BY A LOT. Guys, they’re gonna lower interest rates by 1000 bps next year
>What happened to the US heavy crude refineries? I'll preface my answer with I'm not an expert on this, I've only recently watched a couple videos on the subject. As I understand it, the refineries are fine, it's about the oil supply. The refineries on the gulf are set up to run heavy crude that was coming mostly from Venezuela, but Venezuela's been having "problems", and have been getting increasingly cozy with China. The other place we can get heavy crude is from Russia, but we're supposed to be participating in an embargo against them. The US tar sands oil is very light, and Middle-Eastern oil is light-medium. In a nutshell, if we lose our access to both Venezuela and Russian oil, we lose our access to most of the heavy crude. If we lose access to heavy crude, we have to retool a LOT of our refining capacity. So, yeah. I think their plan is to invade and do some regime change to insert a more friendly government. Same old war for oil plan as always. They're doing this now rather than 1st term because of the political developments in Venezuela around 2019-20 and the escalation in Ukraine weren't issues until the very end of his presidency. We're seeing financial pressure today that weren't present 6 years ago. I mean, I sure hope I'm wrong, but the reasons above probably make a good case in their minds for a full invasion. But hey, what the hell do I know? I'm just some guy.
The problem isn’t nvidia, it’s the other companies in the sector… nvidia, tsmc and asml are all solid companies and doing great. But you have multiple companies going into a lot of debt and appear likely to struggle to meet their obligation. Oracle bonds have been downgraded by moodys and its stock is down like 40% because of fears it won’t be able to meet its capex commitments and service its debt. Credit defaults swaps on oracle are trading at all time highs. If they fuck up it will hurt nvidia stock. Open ai has 1.4 trillion in commitments and is not yet profitable. And by its own projections won’t be for at least 3 more years. How it plans to meet these is beyond me. If it fails to it will hurt nvidia stock. Meta is doing some questionable financing deals with blue owl to try to keep debt off its books. There are serious questions about amortization schedules for many of the chips and if they’ll last 3 years or 5 years or more. Answers to that could affect profits by trillions. If it’s on the shorter side many companies WONT be able to be profitable. I’d that happens it will crush nvidia stock Google is now making its own tpus which could cut into nvidias market share. If it does that will hurt nvidias stock. China is clearly trying to scale up its internal chip production which could hurt nvidia a LOT. This is probably years away still but is probably the biggest long term threat. Nvidia might be a good buy but don’t pretend its path isn’t FULL of pitfalls many of which it has little to no control over. I personally bought nvidia at 50 and sold about half 191 to cover my costs and take a profit and I’m going to ride out the rest over the long term but I certainly don’t feel good about it.
The bullish signal I see about this rally is that those 86k shares are a very small % of the total volume traded on GTI yesterday. That means there was a LOT of buying outside of the ETF. Maybe it's all the standard retail investors, but I don't think most of the retail investors that follow this space closely have enough capital left to offset that volume difference, so it's got to be new investors with high capital.
Click on the portfolio name for a LOT of info about portfolio, including etfs to achieve it
Fuck bro it pisses me off that people kill themselves over gambling. Sure, maybe they lost a LOT of money in 1 day and feel terrible. But I like to think of it this way, there's someone out there that didn't lose any money at all on gambling ever, had a way better day than me but ended up dead at the end so no matter how bad something is it isn't worth it to end it
To put it in perspective: tech hardware companies that aren’t growing and aren’t being actively hyped typically have trailing P/E’s between 8x and 13x. NVDA’s is currently 44. Add onto that NVDA is propping up their earnings with a circular economy that isn’t translating to profit yet and the non circle-jerk P/E could be much, much greater. 88% of their revenue is in their AI segment. If it was all circlejerk and no profits (thus you discounted the AI earnings) the P/E would be more than 500. Obviously not 100% of their AI profit is bullshit or would ever disappear but if they don’t sustain their growth and their sales dry up after the bubble pops, making hardware is a pretty Capital-intensive process and downsizing their footprint for years would cost a LOT of cash
I think Elon is an idiot of a man with many questionable traits. What he does appear to have however is a huge drive to move forward and a LOT of 'products' in the pipeline. And that is why I bought in at the crazy highs of 150 previously. Today, sitting on large profits, I now realise I was wrong to do this. Thank you Reddit.
Heres your 🥩 you’ve commented 3 separate times. Negativity, DISCLAIMER TO EVERYONE I DO NOT NOT CARE IF YOU DONT BUY. I DO THIS BECAUSE IVE BEEN VERY FORTUNATE ANALYZING STOCKS AND I BELIVE THIS HITS A LOT OF GOLDEN POINTS. BUY OR NOT IDC. GL IN YOUR TRADES. EXPIRATION JUNE&JULY FOR THOSE THAT DIDNT TAKE TIME TO LOOK AT ATTACHED PICTURES
I'm just happy I had a thesis I was confident enough to spam everywhere so if for nothing else we all will learn a LOT from this for sure. After this is all done I will do EXTENSIVE DD about what happened, what I was wrong on, and what I was correct on so ALL of us can get better at this
As someone who spent 9 years in the car biz, its not just about cost, its about name recognition. People search on autotrader already. That is the first stop for a LOT of people, for new or used. You can build whatever you want, but people have to know about it. Don't get me wrong, I am not a fan of cox automotive, AT ALL, but you aren't going to just spin up a quick app and suddenly get dealers wanting to pay you to list their inventory via magic. They have to see the benefit, meaning eyeballs (impressions). Plus, many of the motherships corporate brands specifically subsidize autotrader ad spends. If they are paying 50% (that is what it was when I was at a BMW store) for say [cars.com](http://cars.com) autotrader and 0% for new fangled app, it makes no sense to risk extra money on new fangled app with no track record.
I will be paying A LOT in taxes, more than I ever have, but that’s the name of the game.
You’re good! That’s an interesting perspective that I have barely any exposure to. It says a lot if it’s bad enough to have pushed you to drop your career I worked for a city’s infrastructure dept. civil projects in particular are often centered on equipment. It can’t be understated. Concrete roads are far superior to asphalt, with a similar trade off that you mentioned of wanting to pay now or pay later. There’d be a lot less concrete roads if not for slipformers which greatly accelerate schedules. Practically all project design and delivery boils down between competing factors of time, quality and cost. I wouldn’t be surprised if we see more robotics come out of equipment manufacturers in the near future, especially with LiDAR and GPS developments. Construction accounts for like 4-5% of the US GDP *and* it’s pretty behind right now. While design tech has greatly increased over the last 30 years, a lot of construction has barely changed since the 70s, especially the further it gets from heavy commercial and industrial sectors. It’s a highly fragmented and inefficient industry. There could be a LOT of break throughs for better scaling and centralization and a lot of moats that form in the next 10 years if you ask me. Civil less so, but still I’m not sure what I can say about what prototype I saw at that job, but I think it’d complement robotics. Things that helps time, quality and cost work together more than against each other is something to pay attention to imo
Here are the possible scenarios for pre-IPO shares, none of which are viable or recommendable for average investors: 1. Be an employee and receive RSUs 2. Buy an interest in the shares held by sketchy third-party companies who bought shares from early employees with unencumbered shares 3. Be a friend or business associate of Elon, and have a LOT of cash (just being an accredited investor is not enough) 4. Be a company that trades spectrum for stock
A LOT of GLD 405c expiring on the 15th
There the paradox and problem. Asset corrections don't happen when everyone wants them to happen. People have wanted one to happen a LOT recently.
I would have thought that qqq would be down a LOT more.
Shorts are fucked, they reloaded A LOT of ammo today and the stock still ended up being up for the day. This can easily moon.
It’s been my best performing trades! I took some losses in October but the V days have been treating me well with them in particular. I’m not a fan of crypto at all, but it makes money 😂 I find it correlates a LOT with my small caps too. I recommend everyone learns it for that reason alone. If anyone gets in, be careful at 100k, we might swing down even harder to current ranges and then to the 65k-78k range. It’s simple but good profits if you know your basement and ceiling. Plenty of other catalysts to consider besides VWAP, but it helps to know what the whales are looking at
Nowadays you do not need a certain amount to open an account and invest. How many shares you buy just scales the investment gains or loses. IPOs are risky because their pricing is driven mostly by hype. Most members stocks and investing in a company because you heard such and-such (gossip) is just gambling with a dash of arrogance (does he think no one else has heard about it? -- this effect is often referred to as "already priced into the market"). New investors, especially young ones, tend to view investing like a get rich quick scheme where they're going to double their money overnight and become rich and retire at 25. That's again just gambling and it rarely works out. The market average return is under 10% and after the past few years, the return may well be under 5% for the next few (but who knows). Fwiw, the only money I've lost investing was on the recommendation of a broker about how great a stock's upside was (just before Dotcom). When I invest in companies with solid business models that I use and know well OR indices in the "meet not beat" approach, I've made a LOT of money...but it takes time. I'd recommend your son open an account and start reading about investing. Continue to dissuade him from going into debt to invest -- that's a losing strategy. Even paying down a mortgage can beat investing if the interest rate is over 6% or so (and how boring is that?) Encourage him to open a RothIRA to invest in. If he wants to buy individual shares, have him pick a company he really likes and research it. Buy a share and see how it does, or track several stock picks in a hypothetical holding to see how he does. Invest the same amount in an index fund with auto-reinvest.
Would've lost a LOT of money
it will tank hard. it has run up a LOT
He's going to have to run a LOT harder to beat the previous record set by Musk.
Pepperidge farms remembers A LOT more volatility. This is volatility for ants
how to avoid the interest rate decision? simple, buy a stock that is already down a LOT today... LAKE lol
Yes, but the argument is simple. and does not need more then a simple argument based on a common agreeable idea... "Not all active investors can outperform the market for a long period of time". It simply is not possible. So for everyday investor WHO CARES if Lynch, Greenblatt, so and so did it. The question is, "Can you spot the NEXT person EX ANTE who can do it over their investing lifetime post fees, taxes, and inflation over the default option (passive index investing)?" Bogle did an analysis of active funds going against his now VFINX since its inception (1976 or so) to about 25 years later. So, REAL time forward returns. He compared it to EVERY single large cap active fund over that time period that existed (taking survivorship bias out). The was something like <1% of ALL those funds beat his simple VFINX by more then a conservative 1-2%/ year to cover the friction of active management. The above only makes sense... Bessbinder in his famous publication a few years ago found ONLY 4% of ALL stocks were responsible for ALL the return of the market since 1926 over treasuries. So yeah asking a active management to find those 4% of stocks AND know when to get in and out along with the market gyrations is asking A LOT. Really shocking folks nowadays could expect active management to work considering history has shown it NOT to work when information and technology was less available. T
Ever since softbank made the mm's lift a finger off the anal bead vibrator remote last month we've been learning a LOT about tokyo lmao. How much you wanna bet every big bank has a seat in the executive suit in that bank now? That shit brought about the largest QQQ order ever seen. Made shreks pee pee look like a peanut.
I'm sure you've already been told this, but you complain a LOT.
Do a LOT of paper trading!!
It's kind of like rain when there's a drought. Yes it's going to help, no it won't solve the problem, and within a few weeks you'll have forgotten all about it. Plus there's a LOT of pushback against more farm welfare so it's possible that might not even happen.
Where are you getting 2,000 hours annually from? At a very conservative 25 mph average speed, that’s still 25x2,000=50,000 miles per year that they’d be driven. That is a LOT of miles for a luxury SUV, particularly Jaguar. That is significant maintenance.
People in my life are not on Reddit and care about politics A LOT. They all boycott Amazon, for instance. (I'm French so politics there are different, but I'd say people in general, inside and outside the US, care more and more about politics, not less.)
looks like a hedge for a LOT of shorted stock ...
To the OP's credit, they own a LOT more than just Paypal and Venmo. If you are looking for an app that moves money, there is a good chance Paypal owns or is partial owner. With solid global coverage.
These are both reasonable statements. Tesla valuation is based on them winning BY A LOT which it looks like will not happen. They can be the “winner” by having a the largest market share, yet still not live up to their valuation
I think a LOT of people got blown up end of October
In fairness, Netflix put in a LOT of money on the table. Just that Paramount came back with: "See, my dick is larger". They are both f'd though. The dick swinging contests rarely work.
Thank you for clarifying this! I definitely have A LOT of research to do. This makes sense, and I appreciate you clarifying.
I am so EXCITED about tomorrow! It's going to be beautiful with a little bit of happening and a whole LOT of nothing happening and ending flat at the end. and once again I'm eating good from the decaying premiums from both sides. gobble gobble gobble just like i love gobbling cox
^ this guy cares A LOT about MSTR
Not upset in the least. Some of us are up a LOT more than others, and it shows.
There is also a LOT of manipulation and abusers on Reddit. Especially /r/pennystocks and /r/10xpennystocks is full of pumpers and dumpers preying on the unsuspecting. Buyer beware!!!
I've read A LOT of scientific journal articles in my career, and this is very very far from something that looks publish-able. I'll admit I don't understand much of the subject matter, but good papers, especially ones purporting extraordinary breakthroughs, make things easy to understand, not difficult. This paper has grandiose claims amid an unending avalanche of poorly defined variables and boderline-pretentious, often misleading vocabulary. It would shock me to see this work published in any reputable journal. To be honest, it looks \*designed\* to be difficult to follow, making me think its either written by someone with no experience in academia, or its completely bullshit. Considering the only link of the single author is to a twitter account that has only 4 posts (all of which were made in the last hour), I would bet a lot of money that this is complete nonsense, and probably ai generated
And now Netflix can feed it a LOT of beloved characters and stories without copyright infringement. And cut humans out.
A LOT of people that can't afford any of that BS and are still driving/buying $5k cars. And will be for the foreseeable future
For Netflix is like now being in a marriage that feels “we could lose a job and be fine” to “we really need both incomes to keep this comfortable.” While still spending A LOT OF MONEY creating the ~content 🤮~ to try to keep the fickle consumer happy (who is already getting tired of it all)
It’s all expense right now a LOT of it and regulatory bullshit. Be looking out for the “President of Peace” documentary covering the entire Netflix homescreen.
Oh please, it's making an illegal copy of an existing product. I'm not losing sleep over that. You made me curious to see what Netflix's price has been over the years. The first plan was $7.99 in 2011, which according to the CPI inflation calculator is about $11.78 now. While it is true that the lowest cost Netflix subscription is now $7.99, that is $7.99 with ads. That plan also doesn't include a LOT of programming for "licensing" reasons. If you want to stream in HD, you originally had to pay $9.99 in 2013, or $14.09 in today's money. That plan is now $17.99, a 27% jump in cost. God forbid you wanted the 4K plan, which started at $11.99 in 2013, which would be $16.91 in today's money. But, now that plan costs $24.99 or a ridiculous 47% jump in price. Internet speeds and bandwidth keep increasing which makes it cheaper to send higher bandwidth content. So no, Netflix's prices have risen quite a lot for the standard and premium plans. Like I said elsewhere, I am fine purchasing a digital copy of a movie or show that would be mine forever to own, the same way with physical media. I'm tired of paying for moronic subscriptions where these companies continue to squeeze out any money they can from us.
Listen, if you provided any value with your initial post, I would have commented positively. Instead, you “gave the stock rating a hold” as if your evaluation somehow means something at this stage and talked about a write down as if that matters even a tick. It doesn’t. If you want to evaluate financials, there are a LOT of companies out there you can do that for where it matters. But for a company that is literally entering the last stages of acquisition process, there are only a few things that actually matter. 1. What is the price that the buyer is willing to pay - in this case, about $28.00 a share. 2. Will the deal be completed. 3. What happens if it doesn’t get completed. That’s basically it. Your waxing about debt or what does or doesn’t “bode well for the company” is all in the past. It literally doesn’t matter and frankly, hasn’t matters for months. At this stage, Netflix has already taken a peek under WBDs dress along with many other companies and they all know what’s under there. There are no surprises. The net/net of this in terms of money (because this is an investing sub, and that’s what I’m here for) is that if you own WBD, you’ll get about $28.00 out of it at this point. You can maybe juice some more by selling calls, or maybe playing around with price action, etc. but aside from picking up a few extra cents left over that are laying around on the railroad track, or betting on a massive derailment by the DOJ, this train has left the station. If you think that opinion makes my shit stink, or are unhappy with my pointing that out to you and feel you’ve got to use more of your top notch “sarcasm” on me, feel free, I’m going to go collect my check.
Logic engine is internal to these LLMs, they reason before making decisions. What it does is go through A LOT of data at every turn before making decisions.
Often yes. Not sure about the statistic but I think JP Morgan did research on this, and basically if you miss out on top 10 days of the year (which by trying to time the market you likely will), you lose a lot of gains. Don't remember how much but A LOT.
They were arguably previously undervalued because the price was factoring in anti-trust concerns. Since that ruling has now gone in googles favor, the risk has gone away in that time period, meaning the stock would go up. You might say Gemini is less good anecdotally but a lot of sentiment (also anecdotal) is that its now better than chat gpt. Unlike chat gpt theres a clearer path to monetization with ads in ai overviews and ads in ai mode. Chat gpt has runors of adding ads too, but google is working with a LOT more data, which will also benefit training their AI in the long run. Not to mention more ways to integrate gemini in their ecosystem across gmail, drive, etc. Their tpus could be an interesting source of revenue but as you said its a small % of revenue. The bigger deal though is that they are not bottlenecked and limited by nvidia; other companies will have greater issues if nvidia cant keep up with production etc but its possible google is less tied to nvidias success. Theres also an argument that of we are looking at the far far future that google is the farthest along for quantum computing which could be the next big thing, although we are far from practical applications. However fundamentally i do actually agree google could be overvalued but its overvalued just like every other AI stock is; we are just in crazy times right now. But i dont think google is necessarily overvalued relative to its peers.
I definitely think the stock market landscape will change in 5 years, it will be a LOT of AI everywhere, both on the retail and institutional side. As for giving others the idea, there are already a handful of such competitions in the crypto space so the cat is already out of the bag. I just thought options is more complex and a lot more fun compared to crypto
Walmart has moved A LOT of their delivery to sub contracted uber-esque (spark?) delivery drivers and its TERRIBLE. Half the time I don't get my items, they show up 3 weeks late or the orders get cancelled.
Netflix. What are we thinking people? $110 or $99 next? It's fallen a LOT in the past month... tempted.
Wow after taking a 6.5% hit to the port on Monday/Tuesday back to ATH value after adding to EOSE in the 12s yesterday morning. Its back at 15 now lol. EOSE will be a $50 stock by the end of 2027 at the latest, possibly A LOT sooner if the AI bubble continues to expand. Seriously, do some DD on EOSE. CHeck out twitter, tons of people there with excellent models and spreadsheets and DCFs with multiple scenarios.
67 year old boomer here. Retired 12 years ago (retired 2013). I was 60/40 Stocks/Cash(Bonds) all the way up to Covid and also the previous 10 years while before retirement (IOW when I retired I didn't really change at all). Then on the big Covid downturn I moved a lot of cash (and bonds) to equities and got to 85/15 for a few months. Then slowly started selling equities and as the market kept rising got it back to 60/40 again about 2 years ago. As the market still kept soaring I wanted a little more protection of my gains and about a year ago I started doing a LOT MORE aggressive covered calls and end up letting positions get called away (which was my plan and still is) and right now have it at 53/47 Equities/Cash(CDs). And have also recently added a Protective Put Ratio Spread. If and when the market finally comes to its senses (IMO) and a big drop occurs again, then I will go on another equity buying spree. I am just 1 boomer and not saying we all do this, but that is how I am doing it. Certainly a long way from 80/20. But I am sure a lot of boomers retiring will draw down, but IMO I think this AI boom has drawn a whole lot of new investors. I see a lot people saying on Reddit say they are new to investing and this reminds me exactly of the 2000 tech boom/bust and I think that a similar AI boom/bust will be the more likely reason for any coming big downturn (although boomers drawing down won't help it either). This time I am much more ready for a bust this time compared to 2000 when I was completely decimated with my personal investing (401K was hurt also, but it recovered as the market recovered).
A LOT of people do this actually. Long story short pharmaceutical ads were never illegal, but used to require listing out every single side effect ever recorded for the medication, which can often go on for multiple pages in scientific journals, so it just wasn't practical. Then someone found a loophole, if you didn't say the name of the drug you didn't have to list any of the side effects. The first company to run an ad for a drug without naming it, but just saying "there's a way to treat [insert thing here], talk to your doctor today about it" was enough to boost that drug's sales by something absurd like over 6,000%, this success caused all the drug companies to start advertising to. Eventually the regulations were changed to make it practical for them to mention the name of the drug.
1st question: Are you an only child? If so, then get a low cost fiduciary as a back up and make a plan, and not your buddy from high school, really dig for the right person. There will be a lot of digging to do to find assets so let a professional do that. If you are solo, you are about to travel a very long and hard road so it would be to have a professional at hand. 2nd question: If you have siblings, then you HAVE to get everyone on the same page. Each adult child seems to have ideas about 'mom and dads' wealth and where and how it should be spent. I just spent 10 years (maybe more) managing my mother's assets (houses and money). It was A LOT OF WORK AND WORRY. I was VERY lucky that my siblings trusted me and supported my decisions. But this topic can rip your family apart, especially if one parent is slipping into dementia (which often comes with paranoia) and one of your siblings has special access, or a chip on their shoulder or needs more money. 3rd question: is there a will? is there POA? is there medical POA? Before you invest, you MUST get all this tidy. Here's tip, we had a joint checking/brokerage accounts with my sister and mother. This allowed us to move quickly with the estate and did not have to get an EIN for the estate (which requires a separate tax return ...ugh). Also, all brokerage accounts were 'transfer on death' but with two parents you will need to figure out what will happend for the surviving parent. I also had to manage a separate Trust (which had its own tax return EVERY YEAR). I would not recommend the Trust path if you can avoid. 4th question: can they age in place? or will they eventually need to move as they age. Do they live near, could you build an ADU on your proprety for them? They could rent from you and they could pocket the equity from their house. Keep in mind, assisted living is about $6,000 - $7000/month for an average, nice facility. How long can you pay for that with their current assts? They have five years to Medicare, that's 60 months x $7,000 = $420,000 just to make it to 65 ... my mother died at nearly 97. you are asking all the right questions and your heart seems to be in the right place, I wish you the very best.
I would advise you learn about what you're investing in. Learn about the different foundational blockchains, and what they offer to real world institutions. People who invest in crypto are banking on widespread adoption in the global financial system. Do your research (there's A LOT to learn about blockchain technology) and take other people's opinions with a grain of salt. I would personally stay away from meme coins if you decide to continue investing in crypto.
It protects from A LOT of stuff. It also is something that by default goes to the Grantor's descendants only, making that part of estate planning easy. And it keeps itself away from the money-grubber lawyers in Probate.
Yeah, it seems like a really, really bad idea. A lot of this lending is happening behind the scenes in the private credit market, which has a lot less transparency, so it's really hard to get a sense of how much money is at stake here, but given the orgy of CapEx spending, it's likely a LOT. Unfortunately, a lot of normal banks and pension funds invest in private credit, so losses will not be confined to a few weird funds that cater to the wealthy...
i just switched from GPT plus to Gemini Pro, what a difference and frankly, I am finding that a LOT of information GPT provided me is turning out to be inaccurate as I run the same info against Gemini. Not going back.
Yeah honestly your posts last month made me A LOT of money so I followed you on the calls today but should've sold when you did I'm holding and getting wrecked are you gonna do any more trades this week or sit tight as you were originally planning?
Yeah. You need a LOT of risk appetite for 300% margin. To her credit OP does seem to have the required risk tolerance.
