Doubt it seriously. Cheater yes, former sex addict/playboy, sure, but i don't see him as a pedo. This is part of why he banned Epstein. But we have seen Biden do really creepy shit ob video with kids a LOT. He literally can't help it.
I seem to always under estimate the stupidity of man. AI is great in some ways, but a LOT of people are chasing money dreams that won't pan out.
Yeah... not how it's going to go. You're looking at history to predict the future. Unfortunately this situation today is quite unique compared to past occurrences. There is nothing to compare it with. Banks' favourite financial instruments are government bonds. And they like government bonds when they're trading at a high yield. Today they're trading at a high yield and most likely, this yield will remain around this point or go up even higher. No one trusts this government. So when interest rates go down, investors can use cheaper money and get a higher yield. The same goes for corporate bonds. The Fed decides on the fed funds rate. This does not necessarily have an impact on corporate bonds. Just like with government bonds, investors decide on the yield of the corporate bonds by demand. Banks provide loans but want to sell them asap. Stock prices are currently inflated and don't show the real value of a company. It's not because the stock price of a company is high, that that is the true worth of the company. In today's uncertainty, buyers of CLO's would still require a high yield for the risk that they won't get paid back. And if these companies gave banks collateral such as stocks and the companies can't pay it back, oh man. Same goes for CDO's. With lots of people losing their job, banks want a higher interest rate to compensate the risk for not being paid back their loan. So no, rate cuts are not necessarily good for the market. You're picturing it way too simplistic. I've studied about financial crises and can tell you that literally none of them was ever the same. And I'm pretty sure the next crisis will have to do with the bond market. What's currently going on is very very unhealthy. And my bet is that shit will hit the fan next year in 2026, when a LOT of debt has to be refinanced at much higher rates. So go ahead, go balls deep in your LEAPs right now, try to make 10% to probably lose 40% next year. I can deep dive into this much further, but I think I've said enough.
You're almost there. To banks interest rates are a cost. So in general, as policy interest rates fall their net interst margins go up, all else equal. This is why banks do well in low interest rate environments. Next, my comment about tier one capital is in regard to non-performing loans which are loan losses. The interesting and scary thing for most banks of all sizes rn is that the vast majority of their T1 capital was bought when interest rates were far lower than they are now. Since they use treasuries (nb bond prices move inversely to interest rates) to satisfy tier one capital, most banks have a LOT of unrealized losses on their tier one capital stock, so if they were to use it to absorb a large increase in loan losses they might go bust. This is, in part, why sillicon valley bank and signature bank did go bust (the market value of their T1 capital was insufficient to cover withrawals). This is why I said the decision to hold any given bank or not hinges on the amount and quality (ie amount of aggregate unrealized gains or losses) of that bank's T1 capital stock. All this is to say, my original comment already sufficiently treated your main concern. There is no one size fits all answer and there are some key unknowables as well. Hence bank investors need to do the math on the names they own to decide if continuing to hold is worth it.
I mean I bought $5000 of Tesla back in 2010 or whatever. It’s not a matter of conviction. It was a lottery ticket. The stock should never be this highly priced. If I had doubled my money I would have been happy. The only reason the stock is so high is because a LOT of people are gambling. It’s like winning at craps and thinking you’re smart. The truly good investors were those who bought Berkshire and held for decades.
Stalin is kind of a hero, I don't know why they vilify him. He successfully killed a lot, a LOT, of Russians.
This is a decision between Tesla shareholders and Elon, it don't matter what anyone else thinks. You think there is anyone else in the world would could be CEO of an EV company and make it a success? RIVN, LCID, LOT, FFAI, PSNY, WKHS all unprofitable and failing EV companies. GM, STLA, F all gave up on self driving tech and will buy it from someone else (likely Tesla FSD) You want to Cracker Barrel Tesla? People don't like progressive woke junk. I get it, Elon pissed of the far-left extremists by supporting humanity, free speech and democracy. Elon did not do any salute, he was taking his heart and giving it out to people, it is a common gesture that many people do. Technically it isn't a $1 trillion pay package, it is a $450 million pay package, but the shares will be worth $1 trillion if all 12 trenches are awarded. People may hate me saying this, but Tesla is likely to hit $8.5 trillion marketcap within 10 years. Maybe I am crazy because I also think PLTR could reach $4 trillion market cap in 10 years.
I spent 8 years active... I can't even fathom how many things say DOD on it that will need to be remade... like fucking A LOT.
You do realize that the value of the dollar is dropping, right? It's down \~10% since Jan 1 of this year, whereas the S&P has gained 10.12%. Dropping out of the market entirely means that you're going to be using a LOT of money going forward since you have no way to mitigate inflation. Good luck to you, but this is a terrible idea.
I guess they’ve made a calculation that the US is less trustworthy than China. It takes a LOT of fucking up to send India into the arms of China.
BRK is only like 30% cash. The other 70% is still invested in equities. Also, when you’re managing billions in other people’s money, you have an expectation to be responsible with that money. No one has a crystal ball and imagine what would happen to his reputation if he kept 90%+ in the market at these overbought prices and they crashed. He’d loose investor confidence and the fund would be hurt long term. The market has A LOT of headwinds to get through and is by all accounts overvalued. It doesn’t matter if it keeps going up, you make moves based on prudent risk adjustments if you want people to have long term faith in your decision making abilities.
I beat the market, I spend a LOT of time and energy to do so. The time/energy is worth it because I am poor and need every penny. But then it gets more complex, when you are rich, you also impact the market more and more. If I buy 500 shares of ACME Corp, because it is down and sell it because it is up, I basically am invisible. If I buy 50,000 shares of ACME because it is down, I make it go up. And if I try to sell it because it is up, I make it go down. This means, you need a larger margin to even succeed that is beyond your impact. And you would need way more time/energy to follow more things in deeper fashions than anything I do. Basically, I spend 10-ish hours a week, and for some times I've spent 30-40 to roughly double the market. AND I can so far anyway... control my emotions. If I had some many millions, I'd probably have to consistently spend 30+ hours a week balls deep in research and planning. Here's the rub, even if you're pretty good, what happens if you slowly get burned out? I was doing better, but I have even taken small breaks and thus set back, and streamed more normal gains for periods. I do enjoy it, but largely in the genre of the time and energy levels I spend regularly. You would have to be a freak of nature to be this intense, on the scale necessary to beat the market with millions+ and not risk burn out, getting down into emotions, etc. You kind of need to have no life. Note, Buffet is even not a normal person, he thought of the stock market as a fun hobby as a child. He doesn't do work, he plays his childhood game. If you want to beat the market, you are probably just trying to make money. Some people are all about a sport and others just want to play pickup games once a month. I don't think I could beat the market as a full time job for more than a couple of years, because I would lose the fun, get the burnout, etc. My goals are to basically beat the market until I'm not poor anymore, then to settle into mostly a market match portfolio, where my 10+ hours goes to 1-2 hours.
You can have a look at https://money.stackexchange.com/a/162842/109107 for lots of data, simulations and theory with charts and references. For short, you are only looking at a very narrow subset of asset returns which is a complete outlier in history. If you had started in 1929, and held a 3x leveraged ETF all the way to 2024, you would have had similar overall returns compared to just holding SPX, which was a lot less volatile. Therefore, risk adjusted returns for SPX are significantly better. That's almost a century! Holding a 5x leveraged ETF would mea you would have missed out on a LOT of upside
Investing 20% into LULU, THERE's A LOT OF GREAT ASSES THAT NEED SUPPORT. BIG BEAUTIFUL ASSES. YOU KNOW THOSE ASSES. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!!!!
> One of the points that really resonated with me was the author basically arguing that index funds, while safe, have lulled a generation of investors into mediocrity. I'll take mediocrity at 10% per year over a 95% chance of having a LOT less. I wish you luck in being one of the 5% of investors that beat the market.
There's a subset of a sector that's super interesting right now -- Bitcoin miners that are/could shift into running AI workloads. One of the big limiting factors in running AI right now is availability of power -- the new ChatGPT 5 is estimated to use [45 GWh per day](https://www.tomshardware.com/tech-industry/artificial-intelligence/chatgpt-5-power-consumption-could-be-as-much-as-eight-times-higher-than-gpt-4-research-institute-estimates-medium-sized-gpt-5-response-can-consume-up-to-40-watt-hours-of-electricity), or an average of 1.8 GW instantaneous draw. The pipeline to get secured grid power is long (can be YEARS), and buying all the high-voltage transformers, etc, to build your on-site substations also have long lead times (18+ months). There are a number of companies that are currently valued as pure-play Bitcoin miners, but they have already-secured deals for land, power and network sufficient to handle upcoming AI workloads, and many of them can rapidly convert their existing data centers from mining to AI. IREN, for example, has 3 GW of committed power capacity in their pipeline, coming online in the next year or so, and as of last week they're an NVIDIA Preferred Partner and have just ordered enough of the new Blackwell GPUs to bring their fleet up to 10.8K GPUs by December, with capacity to handle around 80K GPUs in their current and soon-to-be-ready datacenters. IREN has popped a LOT recently, but IMHO it's still significantly undervalued. Their P/E is still using a multiple for a pure BTC mining, and not the multiples seen in datacenters/AI/HPC; a re-rate is almost certain when the market wakes up to where IREN is shifting their workloads. There are a number of other players in this space as well; BITF, WULF, CLSK, HIVE, HUT, MARA, etc. (Disclaimer/position: (very) long IREN, looking for a good entry point on BITF and WULF, maybe CLSK too)
How many shares, only people I know who got the ban flipped a LOT of shares. But that is purely anecdotal
Damn... A LOT of angry 🐻 LARPing as megabulls here tonight. You know that means they're feeling the heat.

People have been asking about apple losing its shine since the antenna gate debacle from the iPhone 4. Since then apple has made a LOT of people very rich
Gold is warning for a LOT of stuff ahead: -Dedollarization -Weimar version of the US and the USD -Geopolitical instability and the US goving away its lead role Just to name a few factors.
I feel a lot of people made A LOT of money of GOOGL today because of the antitrust victory in California.
They should join forces to accomplish A LOT more than that.
El Salvador put a LOT of people in prison then saw crime rates plummet. Chicago hasn’t done that yet, but we should!
Google, Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Meta, and Sony definitely care about Roblox. They're huge money makers for their respective appstores. Hell, even when Epic Games tried throwing Roblox under the bus during their baffle with Apple, Apple defended Roblox. Google, Microsoft, and Sony collaborate with Roblox all the time (Even youtube changed the logo to Roblox recently). No one really gives a shit about Meta tho ill give you that one. If Visa/Mastercard want to upset them, they lose tremendous legitimacy and it also sets an awful precedent since it would be the first thing they block that isnt blatant porn. And like I said, regulation is already being developed to halt payment processors from blocking legal payments. Roblox being around 20 years still makes it harder to believe they will all of a sudden be bankrupt in a year or two. Don't get me wrong, the shares might dip after earnings due to underperformance or overhype, but tanking below 100 at this point is very wishful thinking. Roblox has had bad quarters and good quarters. Regardless of how you spin it, the free cash flow is still immense and whether its sustainable or not is up for the future to tell. Personally I think Roblox is just hiding their profitability right now to hype investors. "Burning money" in your words sounds a lot more like investing money into making the platform better to me. You also put a LOT of faith in parents actually banning their kids from using Roblox. The daily active users currently are still at an all time high compared to last year. And theres no more Covid excuse either. If you're hoping for politicians to intervene and regulate Roblox somehow, id just forget it. Roblox is on good terms at least in the U.S. and has been actively involved in promoting the Kids Online Safety Act. They clearly have plenty of connections in DC to benefit them. Podcasts shitting on Roblox would be interesting but I just don't see it doing any harm. Meta has been grilled by every dimension of "public sentiment" and is still fine. You underestimate just how annoying a child is that won't shut up about Roblox, most reasonable parents are just going to cave and let them use it, maybe with a litttle more awareness now. Also you call Roblox "not unique" yet its only competition right now is Fortnite. And currently Roblox's tools exceeds Fortnite in almost every conceivable way. Like I said, they've been building this platform for 20 years, its gonna be really hard to replicate that.
empty peanut butter jar I stuff cash into at home is outperforming me BY A LOT
A LOT of bodybuilders died young. A lot still do even with the more advanced science. I also disagree that "everyone knows" the risks. I had a friend who decided to get ripped and got roids from a gym buddy. I didn't know much about it, so when I joked about his balls shrinking he said "it's just that and roid rage is all that happens, if I stop using it everything will go back to normal". I researched it later and I'm, yeah that's not all there is to it. There's a fuck ton of serious issues, most people considering roids couldn't tell you that -for example- they'll turn any anxiety you have up to 11. The "benefits outweigh the risks" to so many because of 1) not understanding the risks, and 2) over obsessing on those "benefits". As you say, people do roids out of insecurity. They'd be better served with therapy. Ask the opposite gender and 95% prefer a body that's attainable naturally to a roided one. So the only reason to do roids is A) impatience to get to your goal, or B) to mark over an irrational deep seeded insecurity.
I mean, the reason why you have a blockage isn't just because of PEDs. In order to keep that type of muscle on you need to eat A LOT and typically that is all protein, and you are getting that from meat. Meat is great for you, but like everything in life too much is not good. Cholesterol is what ends up clogging up the arteries as an end result. On top of it, he probably wasn't doing any cardio to help potentially clear some of those pipes out. Not claiming that PEDs are good, but people have to look at it holistically.
**Day trading is hard**. The best resource I've found for Day trading is: [https://www.ripstereducation.com/](https://www.ripstereducation.com/) But it requires **A LOT** of study for the particular ticker that you are trading. Every stock moves in it's own way, gotta be aware of the news for that ticker, gotta be aware how the VIX affects it too. My personal opinion is that selling \~30 DTE options are much easier to be successful with. When I started following this guy \[ [https://www.youtube.com/@MarketMoves/videos](https://www.youtube.com/@MarketMoves/videos) \] and learning his strategies I got much better at selling PUTs and Buying Calls.
That sounds a LOT like financial advice
Anytime you see bulls celebrating, you buy some. Anytime you see bears celebrating, you buy A LOT.
Optimus robots are such a joke "someday selling it..." A LOT has to go right for that to ever happen.
When you sell a put you are contracting to BUY 100 shares of the underlying stock at the strike price -no matter what the current share price is- at the TOTAL pleasure/discretion of the buyer.... note that I said TOTAL! When you sell a call you are contracting to PROVIDE (Sell to the Buyer) 100 shares of the underlying stock at the strike price -no matter what the current share price is- at the TOTAL pleasure/discretion of the buyer... note that I said TOTAL! I would suggest you look up Scottishtrader here on Reddit and learn about his Wheel strategy. That is the fastest and best way to learn about options but it does take a LOT of time. In the interim stay away from 0 dte or ANY short dte option selling or, especially, short dte buying of options. Once you have Scottishtraders system profitable start looking at CC's or PMCC's using LEAPS on REALLY GOOD companies... NO garbage or yolo's. Trade only a small percentage of your total account size on any ONE trade. If your account is $25k or less risk a MAX of 5% of your account size on any one trade. If your account size is larger go to an even smaller percentage at risk on any one trade. Best of Luck, Twilighter.
Well, I left a LOT of money on the table by being rational. If i was a crypto-moon degen I would have an extra downpayment right now.
The thing is, in 20, 30, 40 years when you want to retire, you’ll need A LOT more money to be able to keep affording the rent that has gone up 5-10% a year for the last 20, 30, 40 years.
I live in Cali I’m gonna need a LOT more money for that 😭
I did! Last year. Was in need of a LOT of repairs (old roof, HVAC, and a ton of general wear and tear.) Figured I had three options 1- spend money I didn’t have to remodel the house, and hope I get it back selling 2- sell the house with only minor cosmetic shit (paint, etc) and get ready to take a bath when the inspectors came in and buyers start lowballing 3- sell to an ugly home outlet ( like an OpenDoor) For shits and giggles, I’d gotten a quote from them, which was about 15% below comps in the area. (Comps were $330k) They Took another couple grand off, after they came in, and said they’d need to fix XYZ. End of the day, they gave me $276k for the home. I went with OpenDoor, purely for the convenience. I was already super ahead on the equity in the home, so figured the peace of mind was worth it, just to not have to deal with it anymore. TLDR - OpenDoor literally did the “lipstick on a pig” remodel, just painted EVERYTHING white. And tore out the hardwood floors in the living room due to scratches / wear - and replaced it with carpet. They listed it about at market $330k. And it’s been sitting for well over a year (they bought it from me in JUNE ‘24) I check the listing every month or two, just to see if it’s still available. ( it is) They’ve currently dropped the price to $300k flat, and noted in the seller listing that they “replaced roof in ‘2025” So I definitely dodged a bullet, In choosing to sell to them. Obviously, not all homes they buyer are “fixer uppers” - a lot are people whom simply need to sell fast (moving) - or are behind on payments But it’s clear, from examples like mine - that OpenDoor likely loses money on a decent amount of homes they acquire
Humanoid robots are next. Quantum computing could come after, but it’s way too speculative at this point. A lot of the tech doesn’t work, a LOT of huge advancements need to be made that may never happen. Also the use case of it is very, very limited. Personally I think the only reason quantum stocks and ETFs are doing well is because of hype. People who missed out on ai with NVDA and PLTR are looking for the “next thing” to jump on and get rich, and they think it’s quantum. Meanwhile there’s no real meaningful progression being made, it’s been “5 years away” every 5 years for the last 20 years, and NONE of the companies are anywhere near profitable in any form. Meanwhile humanoid robotics IS advancing, it IS being used in factories TODAY, large companies ARE spending billions of dollars to develop it, unlike the small tech startups working on quantum. Quantum *could* happen, humanoid robotics *will* happen.
Oh, yeah if demand dries up it’s falling a LOT more than that.
you have 50 stocks. As you said, that's a LOT to monitor. 99.9% of the people here don't have this kind of money. With this size of portfolio, new things open up. Especially if you're trying aggro. That's why a professional is more suitable, who ideally will come up with a smart solution to realloc (loss harvesting, etc).
It depends entirely on how lucky you are with renters, managers, the structure itself, and any repair or maintenance crews you end up working with. That is a LOT of dice to roll, and while any one of them getting low rolls can be managed with time and work, getting snake eyes is a nightmare.
>Computers automated A LOT of different tasks. It also lead to a lot more demand for the work. Not sure why you think I'm unaware of this, I discussed it above. But it didn't happen quickly, it was over many many decades. That is not the trajectory we're seeing here. And the volume of jobs being impacted is greater and widerspread >There's not a lot of jobs easily replaced with a chat GPT subscription. Obviously not, but the things that would replace a person doesn't have a neatly defined price, so it's a fill-in. However the amount of compute likely required could actually be lesser. Literally millions of low level customer service jobs are currently targets of automation. While they're not going to go away immediately, and the current capabilities are sometimes laughably inept, even a small percentage would have significant impacts.
Computers automated A LOT of different tasks. It also lead to a lot more demand for the work. There's not a lot of jobs easily replaced with a chat GPT subscription.
They may be over valued but LULU has been around and popular for a long time. I do agree they have a LOT more competition now.
I have a LOT of questions! It’s 8:30 in the morning. I had ONE cut water last night and passed out (I don’t drink like I did in uni) Now everyone is posting hopecore. What is going on???
He just posted this on Truth Social: Look at this dog. his name is Chip. Incredible animal. Smart, loyal, doesn't take crap from anyone. Some people are saying he's Al... I don't know, maybe he is, maybe he isn't — but he's a LOT smarter than most of the people running our country right now, that I can tell you. He sits, he stays, he protects. Beautiful coat. The fake news is already terrified.
hell yeah, i expect a LOT of volatility in the next few months
I'm so skeptical on the robot hype. At least how they are being sold via PR. AI simply won't work in that format with how they are being sold, and you either have a specialized use case for them (like manufacturing X widget) or you don't. If it's specialized you just build a specialized robot. If your use case isn't specialized, these things aren't happening until locally run AI programs get A LOT better.
Comcast is cheap cause they have $90 billion in debt. That's a LOT of debt
But this is JPow we are talking about, the sage appointed by Trump's nemesis, Trump I, who appointed the Fed chair he's firing, who made the MRNA Trump Vaccine that he is banning. When JPOW walks, a path is cut through the crowd. When he talks, a hush falls, as each adjective can drive movements in Global Markets almost at light speed. And lo, it is foretold that as votes the chair, so votes the majority, and so it will be again, for ever, and ever Amen. My scattered bones say a quarter point cut with the pretenders to the Vizier throne calling for a 0.5 bp cut. This is the time of year when the lords go yachting and few fat purses are at the market. If we assumed that this market was just running on Rate Vibes, neglecting AI Vibes and the interim earnings growth, the last time this inflation measure was this bad was last Feb/March, or when the S&P was around 5115 (with inflation going down). The last time durable good were going up this fast was in early 2021, when the S&P was a LOT lower than 5115. But, stocks are not the economy, megacaps still get paid in a lot of foreign currencies, companies will raise prices, not even Trump can stop them from making money. LT rates have to go above 5%. But, this does set back the calendar on a low-rates everything rally screeching-hot bull market.
You know when you’re on a beach and there’s a yacht in the distance and you’re wondering how life would be if you were living like that. But it’s your CEOs yacht and you realize they get to live like that because of you and all your colleagues (and there’s nothing you can do about it)… Well, it’s kinda like that with the europeans. They amassed a lot of wealth for a LOT longer than America has been born, and used basically all economic systems ever invented to make their way to basically living a comfortable life on the biggest land-yacht of the earth which is the European continent (note: not all aboard live as well, but some live extraordinarily well, just like on any ship)… Why would the europeans care, idk
Bulls will cry A LOT today
I own 7,000 shares. I legitimately believe that gold and silver have a long run up later this year or by mid next year. I do have stops on my position in case of an unforeseen correction, however my personal opinion is that there is a LOT of room to run once gold and silver break out. Good luck!
People will sell A LOT tmrw at open, i judt hope nvda wont drop more than 6,7% tmrw
They need to beat results by A LOT to justify 200. With China restrictions - they won’t.
Gm noobs.Today is the day to make a LOT of money,simple by hold/buying Nvidia.Never been so ez
Exactly, this is why we even limit strategies to specific employees who "need to know". The risk of an employee walking away with your strategy is very real. And it's just a matter of economics, these strategies cost A LOT of money and time to build, the research and development that went into them was not cheap. We have every right to profit from our work.
I worked for an equity options market making form for about 6 years. I learned A LOT about vil, skew, how executin actually worked, risk mamangement. I wrote strangles on ETFs. Made a lot of money. Then October of 2008 happened....
Because this is playing out rather slowly in the grand scheme of things, we've all had an opportunity to average down. Not saying everyone has, but I have. I still need +$0.50 p/share USD on $CRLBF to break even, but that's a LOT better than it used to be. I'm weighing whether or not to average down again with a few thousand more units while it's still possible, because making the decision to average up at this point would be much more difficult for me.
The govt. collects a LOT of money from 280E filings. The govt. will lose that source of revenue when the US canna industry can file as any other buis. It would be an easier road, presumably, for the govt to deschedule it, then tax it at the consumer transactional level. I would bet $0 on that happening now, but the carrot is on the stick.
Are you me? Hahaha your graveyard looks A LOT like mine - as in I have a lot of the same dead ones. I think of them like a badge of honor now…and hold them to remind me of all the ways I went wrong. Also, I hope that one or two get resurrected from the dead, and I become wildly rich AND not have to pay short term capital gains tax hahaha. I only need ONE to go to the moon. A small part of me still has hope 🤣🤣🤪🤪
No so fast- I could be totally wrong here but do they count 1099 workers and other sole proprietors/single member LLCs when doing employment numbers? I know since basically Covid happened, A LOT of people have started doing their own thing. People working for large tax companies quit/got laid off to just do it out of their homes. People working for construction companies found out during the housing boom that they can just as easily quit and go find a home builder to do 1099 work for on their own. Lots of people got in to reselling or sports/trading card sales on eBay etc. I used to have a boring 9-5 job but now I have a few small gig businesses that I run out of my home. Am I considered “employed” by the American government?
Damn Canada has a LOT of Indians
Man there are a LOT of highly regarded people on this sub, but you gotta be top tier. "We produce by far the most GDP." Fucking wow
Withholding medicine and science from the general public. This is the single most insane thing done by this administration, and that’s saying a LOT.
Labor day. I wonder what industry has A LOT of domestic labor.... Maybe one that is currently federally illegal? Maybe unlock all that labor and officially count those workers in labor statistics? Maybe announce it the day before labor day weekend?
Ya on this sector. I’ve had the good fortune of enjoying some other industries A LOT more with cool communities and bright futures. This is kinda like the belief I just can’t let go of
For next time that buys A LOT and I MEAN A LOT of doublestacks and fries and frostys at Wendy's
Something like $7.7bil over 7 years but I think the way the contract is weighted is higher payments nearer the end of the deal. Even still, at $1.1bil a year, they need to add around 11.5mil UFC watching subscribers UFC 'reaches' around 100mil US customers but only 500k-1mil people actually pay the $80 pay per views. I'd say its a pretty good bet they recoup their money here, they'll get a LOT more market penetration with the more accessible prices and I think this will grow UFC as a sport. Realistically Paramount Plus will increase its prices at some point.
Paper trade penny stocks. You'll either come up with a strategy or you won't. IF YOU START ASKING PEOPLE FOR HELP YOU DONT WANT IT BAD ENOUGH TO LOOK EVERYWHERE FOR INFORMATION. Take everything you get from people with a grain of salt and only believe half of their shit if any of it. You have to learn what works for you. I have rules and only trade with zero emotion. 100% facts. I only manual trade. I've had some close calls. Gone up and over that hill and thankfully it leveled out or went up again. I'VE GOTTEN LUCKY A LOT. I've never lost money. If I saw that a stock was going to go past what my buy in was I'd just hold it. There's a very good chance it'll go up again. Only downside is having that money tied up. A stock might go up 200% but that doesn't mean you'll get all of that. Maybe 50 to 100% maybe more, maybe less. I only sacrifice 30% a week on penny stocks currently. So 30% divided by 5 days. As time goes on I'll sacrifice less not because I don't want to risk it but the more volume you trade the less likely you'll be able to sell. News unless it comes directly from the company is unreliable. You have better odds at a casino. Asking someone their strategy is like asking someone for their social security number. They don't want to give up their strategy because if to many people use it it could hurt them buying and selling. I learned everything myself. I just come on here to see what people are going to pump and dump. Lol
I agree with a lot of this argument. It makes sense that the Cloudflare changes (default blocking of ai bots) would cause ChatGPT to favour sites like reddit that it has full access to. But I'd question a direct connection with Cloudflare and the Semrush data in the image. 1. Your graph shows organic search. That's unpaid traffic from Search engines. AFAIK traffic from ChatGPT would be treated as a referral and not show up in organic search. 2. Even if it did count as organic search, the proportion of site referrals coming from ChatGPT citations is still tiny compared to Google search, less than 1% afaik. So even doubling reddit citations probably wouldn't have a noticeable effect on the referral numbers. 3. Cloudflare changes wouldn't affect Google search or summaries because that relies on Google's search index, and cloudlare doesn't block the Google search bot. That index contains a vast amount of data, including the full text of websites, so even Gemini's inference is probably only marginally affected by being blocked from retrieving the actual website, and Summaries wouldn't be affected at all. At least not yet. Having said that, I use ChatGPT reasoning models to research things on Reddit a LOT (Reddit Answers is a toy in comparison). Shutting down AI bot access to unlicensed sites is a huge deal I think. It's going to be one of the drivers of the coming AI Crash imao. And when the dust settles Reddit will be even more valuable in the long run :).
That's....that's not how laws work though, or we'd be in a LOT better position than we are currently. He has no support in congress and BARELY a majority to get anything he/his voters would consider meaningful....plus, when his party loses the mid-terms and 28 general election, everything will be reversed and swung to the complete opposite end of the tism spectrum.
I'm shocked there isn't A LOT more talk about CGTX. I dumped my losses of TNFA Friday morning, ported it all and made everything back by closing. And it looks to still have loads of momentum
what cool super hero name could i take? i have actually just A LOT of super strong ass hairs.
1. It is absolutely relevant who the CEO is and that his father is worth $300b and that both of his kids are passionate about film, and it's relevant that the father owns 25% of the shares. 2. I don't know how to explain what a movie production studio does that isn't obvious. They make movies/shows, stream through platforms such as paramount+ and plutotv, and broadcast networks such as Nickelodeon, Comedy Central, CBS, BET, and MTV. I don't know anything the rest of the market doesn't. I don't know how I possibly could being some random person who doesn't know anyone personally who works at the company. 3. I see a company with an absolutely loaded owner who just spent 9.2 billion on 2 licenses and took over a used-to-be-owned by older people company with 25+b in annual revenue that's valued at $10b. That's what I see. I saw Reddit valued at $10b also and thought that it was ridiculous for a company to be worth $10b when that company is in the top 10 websites in the world. This is in the top 10 streaming platforms in the world and its competitors are worth A LOT more than themselves. The Ellisons didn't buy this company to mess around. They are clearly competing for a top spot or to be in the top 3. If it's not obvious that this company should be worth more than $10b than i have no business in investing. The little-known city i live next to has over $10b in infrastructure and property value. This company and all its components are worth well more than than that city. It's hard to wrap your head around $10b and make comparisons, but in this situation it's damn obvious. The stock is up around 50% since I started looking into it and I see it as a sleeping giant. Why do you think this isn't reason to invest? What am I missing and what else should i figure out before labeling it as a company that should be worth more?
OP, in all seriousness. If you have $1M and want to retire. This is not the way. You need an actual financial advisor. It will cost a little money. But it will cost you a LOT LESS than gambling your whole portfolio on options. Do what the pro says. You will make money. Your money will be reasonably secure— ie, not disappearing on you— which is the security you need, to actually be able to stop working. If you really want to learn options with real money, carve off a SMALL piece of that money, and play and learn. (BTW, It’s not the Options level on your account that creates the risk. It’s the money you put on the line. Forget about Options level. Refuse to risk more than you are ok with losing. That’s your only safety in this game). Once you have refined a strategy that is RELIABLY PROFITABLE, (ie; consistently beating the markets avg returns over the course of 1-2 years ore more), then you might consider breaking off a little more of that retirement money to play with. But definitely check with your advisor first. good luck OP
Furni about to be A LOT more expensive. fuck.
You could be right but that doesn’t mean it’s a good trade or position. My mom does the same thing she thinks that if a company is doing something she thinks is good it will somehow translate into a good trade but that’s not the case. There’s A LOT more to trading. I’m not trying to be a dick or put you down or be condescending. I mean this in the most respectful way.
Don't listen to all the geniuses in here berating you for making a stupid play. Learn from it, understand it going forward, let it motivate you to do better. A LOT of us did the same thing today because logically a drop made sense. Try to remember that nobody can predict this shit... we have had bad numbers released for months with nothing but positive responses in the market. Nothing makes sense right now, just try to adjust your mindset and trade with momentum instead of logic.
They [announced it back in March at GTC](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_waPvOwL9Z8&t=5532s) itself and it is the reason they have maybe a 3-5 year advantage over anyone else out there. If you're really interested, the "Speed" angle isn't the only selling point. Silicon Photonics allows for ridiculous energy savings at the data center scale . . . anyone else using copper for scale out networking like the cutting edge is today (and even next year for the rest of the industry) will be expending a LOT of power and heat and connections prohibiting reasonable competitiveness with Nvidia during this time. (Impossible by the laws of physics for anyone else)
we're only 8 months in, they're just warming up. it's going to get A LOT dumber.
MSOS has had some swap provider capacity issues recently. If no new swap providers added (or current ones fixed), this issue will grow IMO with more inflows coming in, especially if S3 news hits and A LOT of inflows come in. Note which companies they were NOT buying during major inflows. GTI, one of this subs most loved stock was one of them. Plan accordingly if the news hits and MSOS gets a lot of inflows. There are some names they might not buy and others (like curaleaf due to being on the TSX) that has a much bigger chance that this large buyers which will see tons of institutional money flow onto it will buy.
So am I, but the monetary value of my shorts decreased A LOT today.
Seeing a LOT of rare earths companies pumping. A juicy combination of strong Government backing and private capital flowing into the space. And the theme makes a lot of sense - it's a critical input for a variety of critical applications, and the US is lagging FAR behind China. My interpretation is it's a rising (thematic) tide will lift all ships scenario. May be a valid play in getting on the ships that have not yet pumped. IMO.
Root is a shit company that hooks it's customers in at low rates and then hikes rates after 12 / 24 months to more than triple and quadruple the rates. I had root for a two year period, at the time I was a state farm customer paying around $110 per vehicle x 2 vehicles each month and paying at 6 months intervals. I took the test drive, root came back at me with better coverage at ~$70 per vehicle per month. Of course I became their customer and cancelled my state farm policy. At year one, my premiums increased about $4 or $5 per vehicle, I kept them because they were still cheaper than my old policy with SF. At year two root informed me that my premiums were increasing and the new rate was ~$225 monthly *per vehicle. There was no way to talk to a real person, my driving habits had not changed, I had zero claims made during this period, zero accidents, zero tickets, nothing. I told root to fuck off and went back to state farm, which welcomed me back with open arms at ~$110 monthly per vehicle. After squaring myself away with a new provider, I started searching online to find out that I was not a unique customer. Root was increasing prices with a LOT of customers in this same way. My best guess is they were shedding customers in certain geo areas because they wanted to exit the market altogether and their method wasn't to cancel policies with a sorry, so sorry note, but to fuck customers with insane rate increases. Your post reminded me of this shit-tastic experience from ~2018/2020 timeframe and I thought, I wonder how root is doing. Sure enough, I went to the app store and started reading reviews, I went to the internet and searched for "root insurance bad" and "root insurance good" and found they're still doing the same shit to their customers. They are buying customers with amazing rates that no one could ever say no to and after they make that money, they fuck them over and churn their own customer base. These reviews are from the past 30 days. I'm not sure what your expectations are with this company, but fuck them, I can't see them getting their shit together long enough to turn themselves around and figure out how to not fuck their customers with over the top x4 rate hikes after they bought the customer just 12 and 24 months in the past.
I did a lot of my own investing and stock picking from ages 29 to 37. I sold $250,000 worth of stock in 2019, selling 15 different individual equities. I back-tested my portfolio of the stocks I had sold and of the 15 different stocks I had researched, hand-picked and eventually sold, only 2 of them outperformed the S&P 500 (VOO specifically). In short, I would have made more money and done a LOT less work and stress just buying VOO and forgetting about it. I now just DCA into VOO every two weeks and forget about individual stocks. I wish I had decided to do that at a younger age.
The answer (should) have little to do with age and a LOT to do with income. The question is much more meaningful if you ask "Those of you who're already make enough to be indpendent, how much are you saving vs splurging. Because most 22 year olds are still hanging on to the coattails of the earlier generation to stay afloat.
To be honest, it does take up a LOT of land, it WOULD be ideal as it would be the only source of energy not using our own planet for. BUT, Right now, the tech just isn't there, the batteries etc, the size and efficiency. At the end of the day the sun doesn't give off that much energy when you think about it on the smaller scale like that, over the entire world, sure it heats it up enough... but it's not exactly boiling anything (unless you concentrate it) but the energy isn't really going up it's just focused into a smaller area. And solar panels only convert about 20% of that energy to electricity. That's fucking abysmal tbh. And for what?" Thousands of acres of land? Right now the money probably should be on nuclear (which is still clean.. ish) and fusion, which is clean) Wind isn't really better either, right now. They are about 25% to 50% in terms of converting the winds energy into power. AND the resources they take up. They are the largest consumers of oil yet, they also take up a large amount of land. Tbh, THOSE 2, right now probably are the biggest "scam" in terms of what they have been telling everyone. The costs to manufacture and maintain those wind mills are INSANE. Are they clean energy. YES, do we need clean energy YES, but that tech isn't quite viable enough to be good enough for us right now, at least in terms of alternative options. If your only goal is clean , damn anything else, fine, but then the irony is that inefficiency is so wasteful, that it would be pretty much negating any "cleanliness" to it. As the number you would need to replace our current energy production would require so much in the resources that it wouldn't offset it self. #No one will read this.
Have you ever worked with ESM, the protein sequence modeling workflows that Meta was heavily involved with? I used it a lot during my PhD. There's a LOT of very cool stuff that is not very consumer facing, you just need to look beyond what's spoken about on reddit comments. Now on to real talk - I am talking crushing expectations on financials. But if you are talking tech, ok, they have a lot going on on that side too. Ever heard of llama LLM? That's another cool open source thing that Meta has been supporting Also, those companies acquired by Meta helped boost ira earning, so what are you actually complaining about? That they aren't developing anything new and novel? That is simply not true
if the MMs were as bearish as the people in this thread I feel like they would have sold off a LOT more
I can understand not wanting to pursue wind power. But we need solar. I don’t think it’ll be that big of a deal though, in 4 years the tech will be a LOT better anyway and hopefully the next admin pursues solar. The thing is that right now there is a lot of corruption and wasted funds in the industry which is what Trump is trying to prevent. Go look into Ivanpah
GME was mostly retail screwing over retail. A LOT of retail was stuck bagholding after it was all done
Half my engineering team has chatgpt open on their secondary screen the entire work day. Tasks that used to take days take an hour to complete. LLMs as they are will increase productivity by a LOT once people realise what they can do and how to use them.
While I don't disagree with where you're coming from, (I thought the DeepSeek thing was insanely dumb). I disagree with where you're landing. I think the market is finally starting to realize that LLMs ain't what they're cracked up to be. Quite simply, we haven't seen the massive boost in productivity we were supposed to see at this point, in fact quite the episode. MIT's recent study that 95% of companies that have deployed AI simply aren't benefiting from it raised a LOT of eyebrows. Apple put out a research paper last month on why they find LLMs and LMRs to be essentially glorified search tools. It's becoming increasingly clear that Shoggoth is hungry for compute and capex but isn't yet justifying it's price tag. If businesses slow down on adopting GPT/LLMs, they'll cancel contracts for their GPUs, the capex race will slow and it'll be more of an R&D competition (which is what you're starting to see with the high profile talent war in MAG7. The bottleneck is in memory for the models, the talent and time required to build enterprise grade practical LMRs/LLMs, the AI, Energy for Compute, and production of GPUs. That's just all my opinion though, I'm not surprised at the rotation and quire frankly don't blame anyone for trimming/
Join the military you say? Then plan to lose a LOT more money at a MUCH higher APR. You'll be married and have a 32% camaro before your first year anni.
Still dumping stock. You can shine it up by noting these are planned sales, but the simple fact is Huang has been off-assing a LOT of NVDA. You don’t sell that much stock unless you’re concerned NVDA’s future ain’t gonna look like the past.
Ahhh. Very reminiscent of Feb 18th. PLTR nukes and starts the upcoming bearish market. Just know there’s still A LOT more blood left fellas. Especially with what’s upcoming this week in Jackson Hole.
I dont see it this way. "Airline partners" is if KLM decides to sign a firm contract buying 1000 units - that will speed things up. When its just MOU/MOI it's close to zero worth. For investors it should be exactly about mass adaptation. It's very simple equation. You have 10$. You spend 2$ month developing and 0 income. How many months of operation have you? What will you do once you run out of money? If "mass adoption" - meaningful income will be only 10 years from now, what does it mean for your business? Yes, that you will dilute the f. of current shareholders - before (or **IF**) you ever get to mass adaptation. Another thing to keep in mind. Let assume your company first had 10 shares at 12$ a share (valued at 120$). Its projected if you get to your goal, you company should be worth 1200$. You slowly hitting milestones, burning cash and keep diluting your shares. Some years down the line, you actually is about to hit your goal. Your share price is still at 12$. But you have now issued in total 1000 shares. Honestly, I do not know enough about ACHR. I didnt do my DD on them. But I know the aviation and in my opinion, they are WAY of any kind of mass adoption and meaningful income. I do know how much it cost to certify everything in aviation (A LOT!). So now add those two together.
