LOT

SilverPrivateer

22 days ago, I posted this warning. The bitcoiners didn't listen. Now they suffer the consequences. "Dear Bitcoiners, Hope you're enjoying the pump! Just remember - you would be at 35k without us. Did you read the latest Saylor tweet? "Buy more bitcoin than you sell..." That's right. If you allow our stock to dip below 1.2xMNAV, it now becomes accretive to shareholders to sell BTC to buy MSTR. That's right. Your precious coins will get a big, stinky dump. This is a threat. The MSTR army is kind. But we will not tolerate betrayal. You scratch our back, we scratch yours. You support our chart... we support yours. But if you lets us fall, we're taking you with us. We stink on you and all MSTR holders get bitcoin gain from the sale. That's right. We gain bitcoin, you get agony. Your final warning, from the MSTRer army. So let's keep this pump going... it would be a shame if the music suddenly... stopped" I warned you. Now it's time for you to feel the wrath of the MSTaRmy. There's plenty of us, and we have a LOT of bitcoin which is going onto the open market if you don't play nice. This sell was a warning shot. The real playtime starts now.

All the stocks that have been going up in the last 15 years were mainly tech, which young people favored. Millennials who bought tech definitely minted millions. All the high flyers in the last 15 years were fan favorites for that generation, tons of people are now bragging on reddit breaking millionaire status in their 20-30s, some even multi-millions. There were a LOT of people who suddenly made millions, all the brokerage data supports it. Just being in any of the high flyers such as MAG 7 or any semis got you there. Its not surprising there are a record number of posts from random accounts bragging and showing off their portfolios considered we just had an insane run. There were tons of people in WSB making millions from tesla / nvda / mu / sndk / amd the last few years.

MechCADdie is correct, referring to intrinsic business value. Sure buybacks juice earnings per share and can move the stock price, but nothing happened within the enterprise itself, nothing was created, produced or sold. Stock buybacks were considered manipulation (because they clearly are) and illegal until 1982. A lot of shit got done in the 80s that allowed this late stage capitalism tech circle jerk we're seeing today. When corporate tax rates were really high, nobody actually paid them, the company would instead pay employees, pay more dividends, reinvest in the company or make an acquisition etc. But now they can merely pass all gains to an increasingly small group of shareholders and call it a day. I'm a capitalist who spent decades on Wall St, left to found my own company, paid A LOT of taxes telling you this. Our system is fundamentally broken.

Define A LOT. Look, I get why it feels like a massive crowd is printing millions right now. When you look at r/TQQQ or the face-melting run semiconductors have had, it’s easy to think half the population made life changing money. But we need to be honest about what A LOT actually means here. Confusing a loud group of people with a large percentage of people is exactly how everyday investors get baited into taking stupid risks. >There’s people over on [r/TQQQ](https://www.reddit.com/r/TQQQ/) making several million in a few weeks when it took them many years to build up their first millions. To make millions in a few weeks, even on a 3x leveraged fund, you had to *already* have millions on the line. The market didn't make an average guy rich; it took someone who was already a multi-millionaire and made them wealthier. >Then there’s all the people who don’t post or don’t have a Reddit account just out in the wild that we don’t know about. Sure, plenty of people don't post on Reddit but math is math. Hard brokerage data shows the median account balance for normal people is under $10,000. The silent majority out in the wild made a few hundred or a few thousand bucks, not lifestyle-changing money. You are absolutely right about that employees at the companies mentioned are pulling massive bonuses. That is separate from investing. It just comes down to mixing up a massive crowd with a massive percentage. Because the market is global, you can easily point to 50,000 people who made a fortune on leverage or tech bonuses, and by raw volume, that looks like a lot but out of hundreds of millions of participants, they are still a microscopic fraction at the absolute apex of the financial world. The original post is still fundamentally correct. the overwhelming majority of everyday investors didn't make life-changing money because they simply didn't have the starting capital.

Fun-Sundae4060

Whew. A LOT of people. There’s people over on r/TQQQ making several million in a few weeks when it took them many years to build up their first millions. Then there’s all the people who don’t post or don’t have a Reddit account just out in the wild that we don’t know about. People who were heavy on semiconductors really made it big, much more than even TQQQ. People working for SK Hynix, Samsung, TSMC, chip factories got enormous bonuses too.

This article from Ben Thompson’s Stratechery got me thinking. https://stratechery.com/2026/the-spacex-ipo-and-data-centers-in-space/ Ok so if each rack satellite is like 3000 kg by the time you add the radiators and solar panels and whatever There's 3000 racks in Colossus 1 so that's 9000 tons of stuff Falcon 9 is like $2,720/kg right now which would be $24.5B just for the rockets (Jesus lol) Starship is supposed to get to $100/kg eventually but realistically near term it's like $500/kg so call it \~$4.5B Even at the dream Starship number which is HIGHLY presumptuous ($100/kg) you're at $900M which is basically what Colossus cost to build on the ground So like the only way the math works is if Starship actually hits its target AND people block enough data centers on earth that you literally have to go to space Regardless the launch alone costs more than the data center itself at current rates Starship works out to like 1.5x the terrestrial build cost JUST for the rocket rides, before you've built a single satellite Not considering the fact that if you managed to get Colossus 1 into space it would be 9,000 tons of stuff in space. The total mass of stuff currently in orbit is 11,000 metric tons so you’d almost be doubling the entirety of spaceflight mass Also every single one of these racks (per Thompsons numbers) at 200sq meters would need to be 3x more thermally efficient than the ISS radiator. So you’d have to build 3 THOUSAND radiators that are approximately half the size of the ISS radiator and 3x more efficient This last bit is the largest assumption by a light year These are fucking jaw dropping, brain exploding, skull busting numbers I am not saying it’s IMPOSSIBLE, this is just what you’re up against that makes it extremely unlikely. Truly you would be better off building these in Antarctica or something. That said the last 5 years we have seen a LOT of jaw dropping numbers and extremely unlikely things SO idk

There’s a psyop happening that’s promoting the winning investments. If you get to a point where you recognize what’s real vs. what’s noise there is A LOT of money to be made. How do you tell which is which? Look for incredibly high si AND a very active social media presence. Look for a contrived story that paints one side as the downtrodden, and the other as stealing / lying / cheating. From there you will develop a gut feeling that will takeover and get you where you need to be!”. From my perspective this is being used to redistribute wealth (balance things out), and prepare ppl “financially” to live fruitful / prosperous lives in an ai ran world.

> I don't know how we've spent billions on this and nothing has happened. Our land use regulations and permitting process for right of ways allows every single land owner the right of way goes through to effectively veto the entire project especially with our environmental review process which requires that the applicant prove that any complaint isn't valid or is addressed even if the complaint has no proof or alternatives are more harmful (i.e. driving is worse for the environment than a high speed rail). This permitting process and grant writing is mandating a bunch of additional requirements and delays that altogether explode the cost of the project. Trying to appease every single person has exploded the budget and had forced the train to go from nowhere to nowhere through nowhere. Of course all of this combined attempted to appease every single small interest group and land owner has made it so the vast majority now views if the project as an abject failure and well it has chosen destinations and a path that will kill ridership and therefore the rail itself. Of course that may be the entire goal of the wealthy that don't want high speed rail. On top of that our rail codes are really out of date and our administrative oversight is rather poorly organized for who has jurisdiction on regulations. We need massive permitting and regulatory reforms. Newsom started this with some CEQRA reforms and more, but A LOT of work is still needed on regulatory and permitting reforms if we're ever going to build out a national high speed rail system. Of course there are many wealthy interest groups that view this broken system as a feature rather than a bug and are trying their best to maintain it so that we need to continue to rely on cars and airplanes and such for transportation while not being able to build anything.

Kos will probably stay one of my best trades ever, I bought A LOT of KOS shares almost at the day of the bottom, made +200% in less than three months and yes I know people make that on Micron and Nvidia on any given Tuesday, but I'm an oil bull, I usually make the opposite.

I haven't found that copilot saves me much time with this. The wait time before suggestions is inconsistent and before I would have just done a find/replace with regex that would have taken the same amount of time but would have felt more engaging than sitting and waiting to press tab. With other, more complex code I feel like it gets in the way more than it helps, on average. A couple of times, some bugs have slipped through that cost A LOT more time to fix than writing the code myself.

MarginallyClever

Okay I feel bad. Backstory is, a week or two ago, a few Redditors got the idea about buying SPCE (Virgin Galactic, zero relationship to SpaceX) under the assumption that confused people - such as yourself, frankly - would buy SPCE thinking it was SPCX, which is the SpaceX ticker. A LOT of people thought this was funny and everyone started buying this shit low-cost SPCE stock. It became part short squeeze, part meme, and a lot of momentum. The stock went up a lot. You profited, good job. SpaceX (SPCX) will IPO on June 12. The question nobody knows the answer to is whether the joke is done and everyone knows what's going on (and people sell off, plummeting SPCE before the IPO) or whether there's still juice to squeeze and the real SpaceX IPO will further rocket the stock up. I bought a bunch, sold some in case it has already peaked, and will hold the rest probably until June 12 to see what happens.

And I have thousand examples more of it being correct. It’s gambling if I trust 100% every answer, which I’m not. If I get even 70% correct answer rate, and know when to take out the bad ones for the 30%, that’s still a massive win for me. Not gambling but risk management, that’s how business works. If the value I get is more than the risk of me having wrong answers, then it’s useful. Which I can first hand attest to, it outweighs it by A LOT.

I mean, there's a ton of stocks that are down a LOT. So if you're making bank it kind of is your own doing.

ChromakeyDreamcoat82

Yeah the 180 day lockup protects the primary investors that are buying stock and floating it. You can’t have insiders (and the company itself, presumably still carrying 90% odd of shares) releasing to the market while the big bankers do their controlled release. My guess is that this thing is so bloody big that they were able to shop for preferable terms from primary investors. This IPO will be in text books in the future. I’m 70:30 that’ll it be a cautionary tale. The 30% is that it’s part of a narrative of a wave of rushed exits that collapsed the current run. There’s a LOT of wholly PE owned cyber that’s been AI-washing for the past 18-24 months and hoping for a window.

oliver2022

AI bubble talk was hot when the stocks were hot but revenue was not. OpenAI increased the annualized recurring revenue from $10Bn to over $20bn between June 2025 and the end of the year. Revenue is basically parabolic. Monetization seems like it's not a problem, or at least not THE problem. Nvidia has a miniscule multiple on its revenue. Said revenue was a *quarter trillion dollars* and grew at 70% per year! It's only 'cheap' because investors recognize the uncertainty of that growth continuing 5+ years out, based on lessons from previous infrastructure building cycles in industries like telecoms and railroad. So there's problems and threats. There's circular dealing and the industry has just started to flirt with debt financing. It's not perfect. But 'it's a bubble' made a LOT more sense a year or two ago.

I loaded up on Tesla in 2018 for about $20 (split adjusted). I held through a LOT of ups and downs ultimately selling all of my shares at a many X multiple. Glorious run. It would take too long to summarize my reasons but generally I thought the Model S was a legitimately good vehicle. It looked good, had great tech, and high performance. Also, Elon was clearly on a mission to disrupt the industry not just with vehicles but with the charging network too. This was when we was just odd and quirky, and before he went off the deep end. Right product at the right time. Especially given the many government incentives offered at the time.

My friend, in the past 5 hours the US blew shit up in Iran, and Iran responded with drones and missiles at a US base in Kuwait. Do you think that might be more of the reason for a drawback in SPY or people taking profit? The fact that you're trading enough to be on WSB and not even checking for live news in Iran at a major shift is deeply concerning to me. But it also explains A LOT of what I've seen from the market...

UsedState7381

Price action short and mid-term after reverse splits are rarely ever good, even if they're done to the benefit of the company. Curaleaf has A LOT of standing debts even after S3 and a pending dilution which I don't remember the figured now but it's also a lot. With uplisting, there will be volume, liquidity and market hype, but you can already expect massive dilution to follow. And besides, they're trading at around $3.40 right now, this split post-rescheduling means that they're not confident that their stock will maintain itself above the $4 threshold until they can uplist.

Super-Activity-4675

OP, you're right, this is a bubble, and I think you have a good idea what pops it. I'm pretty bearish on the market at a whole, but right now, it's still very much full port calls. Here's what stops it. 1) Someone says enough when it comes to CAPEX. My money is on Microsoft here, who ironically is in the best position to burn money of all the Mag 7. I'm not sure when that happens though. 2) OpenAI/Anthropic can no longer raise funds. Both companies have had multiple massive (many billions) capital raises over the last couple years. They're spending billions faster than earning it. At some point, lenders say no. As it is, they've sucked up all VC funds for the foreseeable future and are now heavily exposed in the private lending markets and are trying to tap the Saudi Wealth Fund. That is A LOT of money spent to still not be profitable. These IPOs will function as yet another cash raise and neither company is profitable, nor have they shown a path to profitability. If one or both of these suddenly can't pay their bills, it's game over. This will likely bankrupt a few companies pretty quick (Oracle, Nebius, Corweave in particular. Blue Owl and Softbank may fail too). 3) OpenAI/Anthropic start charging the true costs for tokens. They're already starting to do this by degrading services and changing the terms of their plans. Right now though, it's a subscription that loses money on every customer because they're subsidizing the costs and trying to get customers hooked. The problem is when customers see the real bill and businesses are forced to cut back on token maxing schemes and determine the real value of their subscriptions. 4) An inflationary storm. I wouldn't underestimate what might happen if the oil shock hits hard. Rates go up, and all that debt that everyone has gets more and more expensive. If I were to hazard a guess, 2027 or maybe 2028. It's coming sooner than people thing as the value for AI really isn't there. I could see it happening this fall depending on how this Iran thing shapes out, but right now, it's still irrational exuberance. Believe it or not, calls.

You have gotten lucky. 7% is more return than the yearly average that should be expected. You are 19 and can stomach some risk. Diversification is smart, especially as you age. If you want to avoid that to lean hard on single stocks you need to be aware that one bad day, a bone headed CEO or an catastrophic breakdown of supply chains could make you lose a high percentage. I diversify my portfolio and keep 20% of my money for risky plays. Personally I like to watch for strong companies in a slump. I have been loading up on Intel for the past several years and just holding on. They sank and stayed down a long time but I knew they would be back eventually. I find that this has worked for me. But I don't put everything into that basket. I could have made a LOT more money, but pigs get slaughtered... Intel could have gone belly up if things got worse for them. So it was a risk I wasn't willing to take.

It has definitely improved A LOT since 2022. No doubt. But I do agree it seems to be leveling off. I expect slow rotation of institutional equity back into retail goods over the next 9-24 months. And then another big ai rally will begin again going into 2029-2030.

Where’s the conviction friend? 1 contract? I’m waiting for the hype into release and I’ll be shorting TTWO into the ground after. Sales metrics will miss, game physics and metrics will miss audience expectations, 1/4 of the features they “promised” won’t be included. This now 13yr old imaginary game has no bugs, infinite features, AI integration and zero compromises… it can’t and won’t which will lead to A LOT of disappointment. \*TTWO down 20% 9mnths after release date\*

The ROI on buying and renting Nvidia hardware is not greater than owning the future of the enterprise AI software layer. Anthropic will make A LOT more money (profit) than SpaceX long term.

You can sell tomorrow. Trust me. It’s not worth it. They won’t ever let AMD go straight down, so these will essentially become worthless with every dump and pump. I bought QBTZ when Qbts was 23$ and it rallied up to 28 ish and I was down A LOT. It literally took qbts to hit 11$ for me to break even because the up and down makes these worthless. Unless there’s a huge bear market and amd goes down % every single day for weeks, these will essentially become worthless

Is that dividend per quarter? So $1 a year? that's a LOT more than their current dividend levels.

The atmosphere diffuses about 40% of the sun’s rays. Plus like you said best case scenario it’s sunny 50% of the day. But there’s also cloudy days. And solar farms take up a lot of practical space on the surface that can be used for better things. So yeah, moving our source of solar energy to space makes A LOT of sense from an engineering standpoint.

Christ, A LOT of regards seem to need MU to go up

Nice, but why didn't you buy a LOT more shares of Nvidia at 3.37? Or even accumulate a lot more shares of Nvidia as the price was rising? A paltry number of shares won't make a big difference to the majority of people. It seems you might have around 300 to 320 shares? So taking into the stock splits of 4 to 1 in July 2021 and 10 to 1 in June 2024, I'm guessing you perhaps had about 8 shares of Nvidia originally. Then it went up to 32 shares with the first stock split. Then it went up to about 320 shares with the second stock split. The main question is, why did you not buy more shares? 6500% is great, but it would have been so much better if you started with lets say 800 shares, instead of the orginal 8 shares. Lol.

Gotcha. I read the progression from the your link. I think we're mostly just talking different languages. I.e. completely different time horizons on what a "major thing anytime soon" meant. If you're really talking about a decade (or two) timeframe to mature, I can agree. That gives a LOT of time for the industry to advance and solve some of these other problems, and for battery technology (energy density and cost) to progress. I'm not sure I believe the thesis enough to put my own money behind it (especially since I'm hoping to be retired in a decade), but I see where you're coming from. Good discussion, thanks.

Let me tell you how it did it. There are more buyers than sellers today. A LOT MORE

It costs a LOT to revert from cloud to onprem. Not counting all the extra people to maintain a server space plus utilities and security.

You can make A LOT of money behind this dumpster here sweetie.

Nvidia pre’s a LOT too

My first trade today made me $50. I felt good about it because I looked at it as free lunch. But now I’m up $3000 for the day and just as you’d think, I feel a LOT better about that.

I think MELI might be what you are looking for. I will say it is expensive P/E-wise, but at the rate it's growing and projected to continue growing, its fairly priced. Its becoming a monopoly in Latin America in both its businesses, online retail, and credit cards. Share price is down 40% in the past year making for a compelling entry point. Plus, a LOT of metals and rare earth metals are exported from Latin America. AI demand for these could grow Latin American economies, which could drive the growth of MELI greater than projected. Oil is also a major export there too. I don't think its exactly mispriced, just that its going to grow rapidly over the next few years.

ran the numbers instead of reading the 12th "SOFI to $50" post today. P/E is 34.7x. Financial sector median is 12x. So right out the gate you're paying nearly 3x what a normal financial company costs. For that premium you'd expect a money printer. Instead you get $0.45 EPS with declining earnings momentum. About that $50 price target everyone loves: at $0.45 EPS, $50 = 111x earnings. JPMorgan trades at 13x. So the thesis is basically "SOFI will become the greatest financial company of all time." No pressure. Revenue is $3.6B which is real. This isn't some pre-revenue startup. But P/S is 5.5x vs the 2.0x sector median. Book value is $8.26, stock's at $15.61. You're paying nearly 2x book for what even the most generous classification calls a turnaround play. The one real bull case: they're sitting on net cash. Not going bankrupt tomorrow. But "probably won't go bankrupt" is doing a LOT of heavy lifting when your price target is a 3x from here. Could momentum carry it higher? Obviously, stocks don't read balance sheets. But if your entire thesis is "everyone on social media says it's undervalued," that's more like a prayer circle than DD. No position.

My point is that I read the other posts in this thread and felt someone who said they’d “like to be aggressive” deserves a full picture of what “aggressive” means Because it clearly means different things to different people There are people in this sub who think owning individual stocks, itself m, is aggressive (and broadly speaking they are correct) And then there’s people like me who chase annual CAGRs of 20-25% via options and leverage. There have been years I have had to stomach 50% swings in my portfolio value. I haven’t done the analysis but I would guess my sharpe ratio is incredibly poor. I have over 20 years experience doing this and it’s been a bumpy ride to say the least. I’ve been very successful but it takes a LOT of babysitting and I’d be lying if I told you most people succeeded at it. Survivorship bias is very real when you play with leverage This is a lot of words for “we really need to know what YOU mean by ‘aggressive’ before we can make recommendations” One person’s “aggressive” looks like 65% individual equities in a portfolio while another person’s “aggressive” is gearing themselves 1000:1 on FOREX.

There are a LOT of negative comments around POET. Havent seen anything indicating the product doesnt work, and now they have a 500 million dollar partnership with someone. They also have a lot more cash to scale up production. As long as the AI hype continues, im holding onto it. In at 8.4, if that matters to anyone.

>Iran has no nuclear program and weren’t close to developing nukes. They enriched uranium to about 45% (from what has been surmised) from the 2-3% they were allowed to under the Obama administration deal. While still noy close to a nuke, it was a LOT further than they were before. >Of course Iran not trying to hear peace negotiations cuz Trump administration has zero credibility they are negotiating on good faith. Because his 1st administration tore up.a working deal. >As far as terrorist, easy problem to solve. Israel stops committing genocide and war crimes in Gaza Lulz.

I read that he slept next to naked 18yr old girls, including his grand nieces, to "test his willpower". Which implies that they were willing or it really wasn't testing HIS willpower. You attributing that quote might be a LOT closer than you think.

There's more than one variable in your portfolio. It sounds SUPER boring to talk about asset allocation, how old you are, what your financial goals are, how much risk you can stomach, using diversification, and having a plan that can be followed with discipline. But it's not a bad idea to assess these. Selling a winner, or part of a winner is just one thing you can do. It turns out that buying is a lot easier to do than is selling. When deciding to sell, Fear Of Missing Out will begin to wrestle with You Only LIve Once, and other emotions that interfere with the disciplined management of your portfolio. For example, when you are young and putting money in, Dollar Cost Averaging is, in my opinion, the only way to go. Selling when you're young probably isn't a good idea as long as your portfolio is diversified. As one ages, rebalancing and changing the asset allocation is a good idea. This is when some disciplined, rational selling makes sense. When to sell "A Stock?" I don't buy single stocks except in my play money, which is usually 10-15% of my total portfolio. But then, I'm older. If you're young and single and don't have obligations to others, go ahead and day trade and do leveraged options! You'll be guaranteed to learn a LOT.

Yikes.. You just lost money and I mean A LOT

Shorting at open makes a LOT more sense. It's gonna crash immediately after IPO. There's no future high potential earnings from that business. It'll make money, but the valuation doesn't even begin to make any sense. SpaceX rockets - We aren't going to Mars and the ISS is shutting down. China, India, and Russia have their own rockets. So, you are only launching satellites and science probes. There's no money for a moon base right now. Starlink - Sure, it's a great offering and a technical achievement. However, it's been around for a while. I would postulate that everyone who would want internet in the middle of nowhere already has Starlink. Why wouldn't they? It's affordable and available. So, there's no growth potential. Twitter - Losing market share daily to Truth Social and Blue Sky based on people's affiliations. It used to be a big deal, and it's a shadow of the market share it used to have. xAI - Arguably the 4th worst AI right now behind ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude. They pretty much have a plurality on AI right now. This is like buying into Lycos in 2010 when Google, Yahoo, and Bing had pretty much all the search. This is very dumb. While you'll rope in enough idiots to maybe sell a 3% float, it's gonna get crushed in the open market.

It’s the weekend! Time to strike fear on everyone. WE ALL ARE GONNA LOSE A LOT OF MONEY

Get off your high horse with this patronizing shit. I'm a ML Engineer. I know how this works. I use it and build it on a daily basis. You're literally talking about SDD like it's some godsend. It fucks up A LOT. Talking about Opus 4.6 Yes, good prompting and planning makes a huge difference. It still fucks up. Do a simple experiment. Write 10 changes by hand and save the git patch. Then write a simple prompt/agentic flow/ReAct flow to produce them from a simple description. One flow for all. Calculate the semantic difference to what you wrote. Then you'll have an idea of how well it performs.

Your 2 basic options are to either spend more now and save less towards your old age, or to save A LOT more now and retire younger than 65.  Usually the goal of retirement savings isn’t to live in luxury in your 70s, it’s just to be able eat and keep a roof over your head. Statistically, you are very likely to live into your late 70s or longer. Social security is only gonna pay you like $1-2k/ month. How are you going to survive when you’re too old to work?? So if you’re saving at least 10-15% towards your retirement, you’ll make sure you won’t starve when you’re old. If you want to retire before 65 or have a better lifestyle than “not starving”, you need to save more.
