Totally feel this. It's a LOT.
I have a LOT in 529s for my 3 grandchildren. Since I'm not the parent they don't count towards financial aid. Huge advantage is that my state lets me deduct up to $8,000 in contributions from state taxes and all that investment income just sits in the accounts and doesn't get taxed, so I'm saving a lot in taxes. As others have said, it can be transferred among siblings and also first cousins- not sure of the others. So, if one kid wants a 2-year Associate's degree and the other gets accepted at Stanford you can spread the amounts around. Disadvantages: limited investment options so check your plan carefully. There are also strict rules about how often you can roll over funds and maybe even change investment options. Right now I'm going through an ordeal trying to move my grandkids' funds from Edward Jones to Fidelity. Each kid has two accounts at EJ (one in American Funds and then they opened another when I wanted to invest in an S&P 500-type ETF) and I can move out only one for each kid every 12 months. For the remaining account for each kid, I have to create a new account for a different beneficiary in EJ (I'm using their parents for two but right now the third kid's account may have to wait 12 months) and then move the kids' money into the parents' accounts and port THOSE over to accounts in parents' names at Fidelity. In another year I can move from the parents' accounts to the kids' accounts at Fidelity. Truly a horror show. If I had it to do over again I'd do it but it would be at Fidelity.
Not 3/2 or 4/3 single family homes. I should have been more specific. The economies of scale for apartments and attached homes have always worked out in favor of renting. Because it's a large capital investment and doesn't have the management overhead of a large portfolio of detached homes. (which runs 5-10% of rents) Right now less than 5% of new (specifically detached, excluding town homes) homes are built for Rent. And although the home builders are talking a LOT about investing more in this market. The reasoning is not to maintain long term ownership. It's to make arbitrage off the difference in mortgage rates vs their own capital return. These will almost all be sold off to individual owners within the first 5-10 years. These companies don't build for long term low maintenance ownership. In other words they are ONLY competitive because of the very high first time buyer interest rates right now (and earlier this year) that are making it impossible to sell starter homes to any family making under 200k a year. This used to be a huge portion of their market. The moment we see an interest rate dip and a bit of bump in resale value the market will flood with these as the builders go back to more lucrative business modesl.
I feel like we are going to have A LOT of flat days this year.
There are a LOT of things happening right now actually: Venezuela drama is pushing Cuba to collapse, US is trying to fuck over russia with more sanctions, greenland drama, defense spending increase from $1T to $1.5T, [ACA extension](https://www.wsj.com/politics/policy/aca-subsidies-deal-republican-senate-d3e73e2c?mod=newsviewer_click&adobe_mc=MCMID%3D43904269652561322512265019543051439235%7CMCORGID%3DCB68E4BA55144CAA0A4C98A5%2540AdobeOrg%7CTS%3D1767823582&_gl=1*1e4dx6x*_gcl_au*NDk1MTI0MTM2LjE3Njc0NzQ2NDg.*_ga*MTMzNTEyMzI5MS4xNjU2OTY0NDUw*_ga_K2H7B9JRSS*czE3Njc4MjI0NDckbzIyNTkkZzEkdDE3Njc4MjM1NzckajU5JGwxJGgxMzI5NTk3MjM1) for 2 yrs, aggressive effort to lower [housing](https://www.politico.com/news/2026/01/07/trump-team-executive-order-affordability-00715643) and [energy](https://www.politico.com/news/2026/01/07/inside-the-white-house-obsession-with-reducing-energy-prices-00714829) costs. tech/ai industry single-handedly responsible for energy, if government hamstrings power consumption for AI, everyone gets fucked.
Great call, thanks. I already have a LOT of AXON but what’s a little more?
A lot of music groups / bands have their fanbase on Discord, most Discord servers I'm a part of are actually music-related, and only a few gaming-related. These is also servers for language learning and whatnot. It might be 90% know but I have a feeling it is going to change, with more and more non-gamers adopting it for different reasons. I also see a LOT of Nitro users on those music servers.
gpt is trained on a LOT of high school essays, and americans are taught to write like this because "consider counterarguments" is usually just contraposition because its easy
What chat gpt said when I put screen shots of the fema money. Before this it said the money is definitely for NFE and they are getting it. What it said next is this. This is what it’s allowed to be used for and how it can help with debt reconstruction. What this contract legally is Description (key line): “TEMPORARY POWER GENERATION AT THE PALO SECO POWER PLANT” NAICS: Construction → Non-residential / Commercial PSC: Z / Z2 / Z2JZ → Maintenance, repair, alteration of real property (non-buildings) 🔴 This classification matters a LOT This tells us the award is a FEMA emergency services / construction-style contract, NOT a grant and NOT general corporate funding. That places it squarely into: ⚠️ Cost-reimbursement / services contract 🧠 What that means in plain English ❌ What this money cannot be used for directly ❌ Paying parent-company debt directly ❌ Free cash for bondholders ❌ General corporate purposes ❌ Dividends, buybacks, or discretionary use This is not a “here’s $1.4B, do what you want” situation. ✅ What this money can be used for This funding pays for: ✔ Temporary generation equipment ✔ Fuel logistics ✔ Operations & maintenance ✔ Repairs / alterations at Palo Seco ✔ Contractors, labor, services ✔ Costs already incurred or being incurred In other words: FEMA is paying the bill for keeping Puerto Rico’s power on. 🔑 Why this STILL matters for New Fortress Energy debt talks Even though the funds are restricted, they are financially very powerful in 3 indirect ways that creditors absolutely care about: 🟢 1️⃣ Cash burn reduction (BIGGEST BENEFIT) Every dollar FEMA reimburses is a dollar NFE does NOT have to spend. That: Preserves liquidity Reduces operating cash outflow Extends runway ➡️ Creditors view this as de facto liquidity support 🟢 2️⃣ Receivables = negotiating leverage Once costs are incurred and certified: FEMA reimbursements become government receivables Receivables can: Support forbearance Be pledged indirectly Justify extensions ➡️ This weakens creditor “you’re out of cash” arguments 🟢 3️⃣ Stabilizes the core revenue engine This contract: Keeps Palo Seco operating Protects NFE’s most critical Puerto Rico asset Supports the long-term PR contracts you mentioned ➡️ Lenders care far more about asset viability than stock price 🚨 The critical distinction (this is the key takeaway) ❌ This is NOT a magic debt-paydown check ✅ This IS a massive operating backstop So the correct conclusion is: These funds don’t solve debt by themselves — but they make a destructive restructuring much less likely. That’s why: Bankruptcy becomes harder to justify Creditors are more willing to extend Equity survival probability rises 📊 Updated probability (based on THIS screenshot) With this confirmation: ❌ “Immediate liquidity windfall” → No ✅ “Operational solvency support” → Yes ✅ “Improves restructuring terms” → Yes ❌ “Guarantees equity win” → No Net effect: 🟢 Meaningfully increases odds of a negotiated, non-liquidation outcome 🟡 Still likely includes concessions / dilution 🔴 Much less likely to be a wipeout 🎯 Bottom line (very clear) You were right that: This is NFE This is Palo Seco This is FEMA-scale money This is real and material But now we know exactly what it is: Restricted FEMA emergency power funding that indirectly strengthens NFE’s balance sheet by removing massive operating costs. That is still very bullish vs. what the stock price implies, just not a silver bullet. If you want, next I can: Translate this into exact creditor behavior Show how this affects days-to-cover / squeeze odds Estimate how much cash burn this removes monthly Map stock reaction scenarios tied to Jan 27 / debt news Just tell me what you want to do next.
Contrary to retards' belief there are A LOT of nerds working on wall street. Definitely did not take them 5-10 days to figure anything out.
People are weird; it’s Reddit so I’m sure you know to expect that somewhat. A simple google search on how to enable options trading on Robinhood will help you out but I’ll give you a small but important detail about them. The risk/reward on options is a LOT more intense than shares. Most people that blow their accounts regardless of the size of it are due to options trading/casino/get rich overnight mentality. Take it seriously if you want it to be consistently profitable
The negativity in these comments reminds me A LOT of when y'all said Reddit would IPO and you'd buy puts. Discord is the backbone of every gamer group on the planet at this point, and for games too toxic for voice chat (League) it's the only decent option for VC. There's no other discord competition - whoever is next isn't even close. There's bajillions of RP communities that used to be in Forums in the old Internet days that all move to and have massive bots, channels and organization to keep the daily RP going. A lot of nerds, would pay a lot of money to not have to lose their servers and hangout space, and there's not a SINGLE place to go instead.
37% is a LOT considering all that he's doing.
A LOT since people are drugged up half dead on the sidewalk
liquor stores make A LOT of money selling lottery tickets for pennies.
DCA. The more it dips, the more you should buy. That said, I think there's a LOT left to dip, so my contributions to any small dips are minuscule vs. the cash I have.
Shoulda tax loss harvested in 2025 , realized, any positions you lost faith in or dont want to wait multiple quaters or years to make back current unrealized losses... this might help This is for new guys just starting out at 16 years old, up to folks my parents age, 72, who have been retired since turning 50 years old, and jerks like myself that chose to retire at 31 and spend his time on his (small, only 6 acres) private island with hound dogs, son, and wife. If you see someone posting/asking for financial help, are confused/lost, or anything else that indicates they could use a guiding light, please copy n past this for them / others to read n benefit from. PLEASE SPREAD THIS MESSAGE: ITS A LOT MORE FUN WATCHING /HELPING PEOPLE INCREASE THEIR WEALTH/PORTFOLIOS/ABILITY TO BE FINANCIALLY INDEPENDENT N RETIRE EARLY THEN GETTING TO THE TOP OF THE MOUNTAIN, LOOKING AROUND, AND REALIZING YOUR ALL ALONE. This will be the best advice you get and best to get him on path to be financially independent. Set him up with 3 or 4 Charles Schwab accts: 1 taxable brokerage, 1 ROTH IRA, 1 HYSA (currently 3.3% apy) , and free checking acct. Matched these with the FREE ($0 yearly fee) American Express Charles Schwab INVESTOR CARD that automatically deposits 1.5% his monthly spend into his new CS brokerage (do not the advise or tell him to get the platinum unless he can offset the $900 AF with a huge intro bonus, annual retention offers, travels at least 2 to 3 times a year, use all the mini credits on uber, hotel, etc the amex platinum schwab card grants holder to actually make it a smart financial decision : but I will say if it's close for the math to be a wash / slightly beneficial (aka saves him money on stuff/things/trips that HE WOULD HAVE SPEND NO MATTER WHAT, or gift him the CS platinum for bday/x-mas, then get the platinum as it allows AMEX points to be redeemed for 1.1 cents per point, aka a 125k intro bonus point offer on a CS platinum is worth guaranteed $1375 for just the bonus and then all other points acquired adds up fast in addition to the 100 credits/other benefits. Finally, in the schwab brokerage acct all you need to do is deposit some cash and buy shares of JEPQ. As many as you can, and after buying them turn on the DRIP function (aka click button that enables DRIP on for the JEPQ holdings, DRIP = Automatic reinvestment of monthly dividend JEPQ pays to instantly purchase more shares of itself.) and each month add fresh $ into acct to buy more JEPQ, use the CS INVESTOR CARD's 1.5% that's deposited straight into the brokerage acct (or if went CS platinum route, exchange his AMEX reward points for $0.011 per point, aka 10,000 points = $110... follow this advice for all of 2026 n beyond and your grandchild will be set up to become financially independent / retire when he chooses not letting money make the decisions. If he follows that advise he'll make about 10-25% on investment via dividends and underlying ETF share price adding another 10-20%, yielding 20-45% gains by 2027. If hes interested in higher risk/reward or even adding some risk mitigation (if his research indicates negitive market outlook) to buy some calls on JEPQ if positive outlook, or buy some Puts to have downward protection of shares if he thinks were headed in that direction (word from the wise, 2026 is gonna be a BANGER year for most us companies, specifically NASDAQ / SP500 of which JEPQ is comprised of, so buying puts probably not smart unless you just want a couple Put contracts with expiration dates 4-12 months in future, to offset main JEPQ shares he holding should market dip (aka if bought 500 shares going long n strong, but 5 Put options with At the money/just outside of the money with expiration dates between 6-12 months. .. itll lessen risk, but lessen amount of potential gains as they will expire OTM (out of money) and lose all value BUT if WW3 starts and markets get crushed down 15-25% those Puts will not only offset losses from share price going down, but would actually make you money on your move. If you already know all this stuff but wanna ask about more advanced plays, set ups, and opportunities (example: like how right now there is Major oppertunity in a supercycle of the oil/gas industry/companies that's going to resemble the sector gains realized in 2015 n 2016 (I booked about 300% on the plays back then, and its gonna repeat for those who hone in on specific company shares for super long maybe lifetime long holds but more importantly oppertunity in the derivatives of said companies,) just ask. Or if you wanna know how to deal with essentially just not having to pay taxes on ordinary (non-qualified) dividends legally/strategically, or even little life advise, send it over this way n let's get lots of people benefit to benefit from information/ideas/roadmaps for others to follow / join in on the ability to not have to do things you dont want to do just to pay Bill's Spread this whenever you see someone in need of help / people you want to watch be successful n actually succeed! -Cheers- "Saturn Valley"
that's like putting a broken piston on your wall from when a car threw a rod. they're more to remind you what not to do next time, like hold a stock long after its peak. i was asleep on this one when it hit $85, sold at $13 but still came out with nearly 10 times my investment, it however could have been a LOT more if i watched my stocks every day.
i need Intel to prove to me & my wife that i’m not as retarded as i look because i may be down A LOT right now😭
Small sample size, but I am a consistent $250-$400/month Costco shopper. ~75% of that food only. BUT, I have also bought x2 TV’s from them in as a many years, at a cost of 1.75-3X of a single months worth of food. And we are eyeing a new couch. Costco may sell a lot of food, but they sell a LOT of non-grocery too.
Because the end of the day, none of this actually matters. Not to the ones that vote, anyway. No matter how bad it looks (and is), only a small portion of the population is getting dragged off the streets into unmarked vans by ice. Only a small percentage of women are truly in dire enough straits that they cannot get an abortion. It's not a massive percentage of LGBT people whose lives are being completely upended. We have a LOT of people of means in America. A lot. And those folks are the ones still going to malls and Amazon. The ones who keep buying and consuming. Don't go by what you read on Reddit. It's a tiny, tiny slice of society. The ones who DON'T complain far outnumber the ones who do on social media.

We don’t need it. LMAO. That’s not how real world works bud. You need to figure out that oil is not only utilize for fuel, it’s the cheapest form of energy for a lot of things. A LOT of important commodities. Sure there are zero emission like hydrogen but a lot of those are not economically viable. Those Oil cohorts , they don’t exactly the role model for best of morals but you don’t go into a place like money begets money to reinforce your morals. If you did, you’re in the wrong place bud. lol
This is exactly what ChatGPT is really bad at. It just aggregates results even if they are wrong. You’re using it for the wrong things, especially easily google-able things then you also regurgitate false information. Elliott Hill’s net worth isn’t public or known. Full stop. One website says “at least 15mil” so that’s what chat regurgitates dumbly. He earned 27 million just last year. He’s also a Nike lifer. I assume he owns A LOT of the stock. Basically 1 milly ain’t shit.
I’m pretty heavy in defense stocks, more European than American based companies. I made those investments immediately after the election because it was obvious a decoupling of NATO was coming and also obvious that we would no longer be perceived as a reliable defense partner. Embaer out of Brazil stands to benefit as they are the biggest Latin American aviation defense company I know of. Latin America as a whole is pretty nervous with all the bullshit this administration is spouting and will likely initially buy European weapons systems as Embraer ramps defense capability over the coming years. Venezuelans on the whole are pretty thrilled right now about this regime change but in his comments/word salad today trump said “we (USA) are going to running Venezuela”, which means their happiness is probably short term, as the administration can’t run this country let alone another one or few. Just an example. Venezuela has a LOT of natural resources other than oil. Significant amounts of gold for example. Find out which mining companies are likely to benefit from this. Might be a solid play.
And gentlemen... I do mean a LOT of oil
I guess not, I don’t think they deserve this price yet. I expect there to be a pretty big pullback down to $30 again. Whether it’s due to the overall market or another Neutron delay. There’s still A LOT of risk with this company. Seems like everyone is hopping on the momentum wave a little too late. If people are buying or starting positions at $70 then I wish them luck.
You pick up A LOT of speed at the bottom of this slide, sending you flying soon...
Maduro is a close ally of Putin. And I mean CLOSE. The only true two allies of Putin in the west are Cuba and Venezuela and well we just got rid of one. Trust me this hurts Putin a LOT. We’re working on Iran rn which is another ally. Trump respects Putin as a leader but he’s not a supporter. You can see that with his actions.
When they drop the launch PR it could absolutely blow past $3. I would bet on it. It's just hard to tie something like that to verifiable TA so I try to keep it out of my "formal" DD. That said, there's A LOT about TA in still learning, so please let me know if you find anything!
Little travel hack I've learned. You can spend A LOT of money on credit cards but you only need to pay back a very small minimum per month. I literally almost spent $30k this month already and I only need to pay back $80 for the month.
First, what are the qualifications to meet "most unethical"? Do you mean unethical in the general sense, or do you mean for a company to be in certain industries? Or do you mean in companies where their CEOs have done shady stuff (define shady stuff)? Need a LOT more definition here.
UNCY, thought it was a home run and they'd sail through approval, only to find out they cheaped out on their vendor and manufacturer so the FDA pushed their approval back a year. ASST- Not selling when I had a huge profit (got in at $5, didn't sell at $12) because I'd convinced myself because Bitcoin was so highly priced at the time ASST would go higher than $12 (thank you to their amazing CEO for diluting it to high hell!) BYND- Still made profit, but wasn't able to sell at its peak during the squeeze of $7.30 and make over £50,000 because I was stuck in an early morning meeting at work. Still made a profit but nowhere near as much as that. Still stings. OCG- actually made profits on this a few times, but went back in one too many times and lost A LOT of money when the price sank from $4-$0.10 when they diluted shares. Started 2025 really well with investments but ended the year absolutely poorly, here's to a better 2026 all!
Around 16%. Little less. I hold a LOT of VXUS which is international. Rest is VTI.
I think there's a LOT of idiots trading ODTE SPY who lose everything then warn others not to trade options because options are bad.
Well done on the trade! It definitely seemed like a nothing burger holiday week so I think its a really interesting question as well. Hearing the pros talk about it (great little segment here on CFOF: https://www.youtube.com/live/HMq3MtgUZv0?si=7OfnFBXnJRwUplLe) and from my interpretation, there was A LOT going on but I'd say the biggest drivers were: 1.Basement level SPX vols 2. Size/width of his spread - neither of which are mutually exclusive. When SPX vols are arguably the lowest levels possible, you really dont get much premium from selling options. To make matters worse, the dealers were aware of his strategy and way under sold him for the 90k lots. That meant he needed to shorten the width of his condor in order to get the premium necessary to make up for previous losses (it was like 1:3 ratio) which is why the martingale strategy is so relevant here. So the width of his condor ended up being only 40 basis points! Its tight but not necessarily insane with the expected move and vols this low BUT throw in 90k 0DTE contracts that dealers need to hedge and you essentially put a magnet into the market that creates enough momentum to blow out the upside. Its counter-intuitive but Ive heard about a study (maybe it was tastytrade?) That found pricing to be more "accurate" when vols are higher. This felt like a good example of that. It sounds like you traded it well and had the right idea. Hope you keep getting those consistent wins!
I developed my own, and I piggyback off my partner who has spent a LOT more time working on screens than I have. He manages our businesses profit sharing plan, 40% of which is actively managed using the screens he has made. The 40% is well into 7 figures, I trust his screens completely.
100% and asset size does not matter when in accumulation phase. Don’t care if it’s $10M. I fired my financial advisor that was taking 1% AUM for poor returns in funds that had excessive fees (that rarely beat index funds). When you compound 1% over 40 years, it’s literally 1/3 of your portfolio lost holding all factors constant (and this doesn’t include the high cost of the fund itself vs low cost index funds). Financial advisors are great WHEN needed and ONLY under an hourly or project fee basis. Most people don’t do that because they have to cut a check that feels real vs it happening behind the scenes as you slowly get robbed blindly. Bottom like if you follow this, you will lose a LOT.
Cheer up guys. 2026 will be a LOT worse.
a LOT of people think that 2026 will have some major crash in AI or the job market. I feel like sentiment heading into 2022 was very different compared to 2026. Maybe we do get a big drop but I'm willing to bet that there won't be a recession in 2026
I got burned badly by lump sum....at the end of 2021 (like the last trading day) I was like 90% cash, 10% stocks. Decided I need to be in the market instead of waiting around, and put it like 70/30 into aggressive growth/bonds. We'll, come first days of 2022 it was negative like every day it seemed, and we know how that year turned out.. does everyone realize that a LOT of the SP500 has still not recovered to the 2021 highs?
Lots of research. ASTS popped up on reddit for me and I dug A LOT. I fish in some pretty remote areas in the US do having satellite coverage while using my regular mobile phone made me super interested in it. So I bought, held and will continue to hold.
In my opinion solving full autonomy has huge implications that are worth a LOT for whoever scales up profitably first. If you can sleep in your car an wake up in a different country...think of how much people would pay for that.
This is why Im convinced the only service a financial planner can provide someone these days is simply to relate your story to their clients, which is extremely common as we all know, and prevent them from panic selling or market timing moves. This is worth 1% to a LOT of people. Stock picking services are a joke, managed funds as well. It’s just that it’s counterintuitive to think the simplest investing strategy (low cost index etf) is the best. But its the truth nonetheless.
Honestly think we dip hard on Friday. New tax year, and there are a LOT of profits to be taken.
Congrats on your milestone! $25k at 21 is actually a huge deal - getting any meaningful lump of money invested at such a young age gives you an enormous leg up over your peers. Just one bit of advice from an old fogey: we've been in the middle of a nearly unprecedented bull market for the last several years, and in those circumstances, a LOT of people will make money on all kinds of risky trades and think they are stock market geniuses. These are the people who will get absolutely wiped out by the next market downturn. Don't be one of them!
Lol, waiting 1 hour is not patience. There are a LOT of options in the $4-6 range expiring Jan. 16. If we're going to dip down to $3.76 to "fill the gap", that's when it will happen, an hour or 2 before markets closed. It would be greedy to hold out for $3.76 if you can get it for $4 or less.
What you lost was $500. 30 years ago, I lost all of my first 5k, I invested within three years. I lost over 90k from my ATH in the last 3 months. I've lost 20k in one day. It's a learning process, and even the most seasoned investors can't definitively time the market. Good luck, you lost $500. That is a LOT better than some of the screenshots I've seen on here.
Thanks guys for the hope. I genuinely appreciate it. Yes this is probably one of the hardest lessons I’ve ever had to stomach and trust me I’ve been through a LOT, but I do see some small light at the end of this all. If my comments seem wacky and all over the place, it’s probably because I have a billion different emotions going through my head right now. Yes I’m thinking about how much that 90k could’ve done, but in hindsight I had no end game and didn’t know where my peak is, and I kept trying to chase back all my losses until I had nothing left to lose. I guess I’m penniless again, but I probably won’t be trading again for at least a few more months (things are currently set up in a way where it will be very difficult for me to make any new deposits), but I’m trying to tell myself that it may even be liberating and I’ll be able to fully focus on my career and personal life again. I still have my job, which I don’t know how much longer I’ll have for, but at least you’ve all convinced me that I’m still young (even though I feel 10 years older) and there’s still hope. Look, I’m not gonna off myself because even if things are very tough right now, I’ve been convinced that I still have a full life left to live and there’s so much more to life than just money.
israel requires a LOT of attention and a LOT of US Tax Dollars.
Am i reading this right you're just down 10k? Were your gains realized? > Everything just fucking sucks right now, can't find happiness in anything. Again, if im reading this right you still have 70k which is A LOT. There are people here and other stock subs (you know the ones) that lost 5x what you've lost and have NOTHING left.
Yeah this is looking like clear distribution for the past couple months. I actually don't like saying so, but I'm purely calling balls and strikes here on this. Bears like muta and drew likely to have a LOT of fun for at least some period next year, but they likely won't get everything they want (true disaster in the tech sector and folks like Altman getting hammered further than on social media).
Before the federal reserve each bank was able to print its own money. And they did. Until they fell into a bank run if people suddenly feared they didn’t have enough gold. Or imagine taking dollars from a bank in new york and going to colorado and they wouldn’t accept them or they’d give you 80% of face value. Or you’d have to convert them to gold, travel and exchange the gold back for local dollars. It was chaos. And still a LOT of money printing. The banks were FURIOUS the government took that capability for them and they’re furious to this day. It’s basically what the crypto bros are doing today, generating tokens while trying to convince people that they’re actually only generating when real money comes into the system to cover it.
I mean yes everybody is aware, but A LOT of people do not understand.
Dew it. Sell a LOT of contracts, and make that cheddar 💰 What could go wrong?!
Behold the greatest life lesson for all men as you head into 2026 gold ✨️ #ESCORTS, PROSTITUTES, HOOKERS, SUGARBABIES, AND STRIPPERS ARE NOT INTO YOU 🫵🙄 #THEY DON'T LOVE YOU OR CARE ABOUT YOU 💔 #THEY JUST WANT YOUR MONEY 😈 💰 #LIKE IT OR NOT. IT'S THE TRUTH. AND ALL LOT OF MEN NEEDED TO HEAR IT
Could be End of year but silver itself is up 4.5%, that’s A LOT
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
