I'll take AI over the NYT any day of the week. Takes the same amount of typing. Nothing I posted is inaccurate. Plus, I gave you the MSN link. FWIW, we've spent about $50 Billion. Which is 0.15% of our GDP - or about 1/3 of what Elon Musk made today 😆
Doesn't matter what they had. It's gone. And they spent a shitload to get it. Literally years accumulating this stuff. All dust now. NYT. lol. Buddy, the grey lady ain't what she used to be.
He's using loans to pay loans if need be that's what billionaires do. They don't take salaries or bonuses in an effort to give the illusion of being noble and fully tied to their company but it's really to avoid paying taxes on income.

Your understanding of the NYT article is incorrect, a broker will not block or ban retail investors from their platform if they sell shares, they will not be allowed to participate in any IPOs for 6 months. As with any IPO, a lot of the shares went to Morgan Stanley who is in charge of liquidity and will sell their shares to anyone looking to buy.

not on topic but the moment TSMC finishes building a cutting edge foundry completely in the US, all leverage taiwan has over the US will evaporate in turn 🥭 will "accidentally" remove US troops from Taiwan while China lands troops on Taiwan "by miscommunication" and then 🥭 and Xi is going to pay some Economist, WSJ, WaPo,NYT Journalists to glaze "Chinese solution to Taiwan Question" and 🥭 while dropping the ban hammer on reddit and other social medias on those who mention "taiwan" and "independent" together.
I had the same concern. Very strange there are few posts and stories about the drop. I’m sure the NYT will publish an article as soon as markets are well into after hours.
Check out $GGG and $NYT. Both have solid valuations and strong balance sheets.
heh so I worked at a F500 company which I’ll lightly anonymize. We sold products, and on a subset of those products one could request _samples_. One day we get contacted by the NYT claiming a citron “researcher” found that our products contained - gasp - formaldehyde. Cut to the end, dude had ordered max samples for every SKU in our catalog and sent them to some lab to find *scary chemicals*. Idea being he could short the stock then break the story. But only one of his thousands of tests had come back positive, and we’d officially sold 0 units of the actual SKU that got flagged. We shrugged and pulled it from the site, NYT shrugged and never published anything. Anyway fuck Citron
They are also going to use the same fast track to the NASDAQ that space X is using from what I have read. Assume that the article says as much, but I don't have easy access to NYT.

It was stressful because I used a common sense approach and I was new to taking over some of my accounts, so I kind of did and didn't know what I was doing. I spend several hours a day reading newspapers (back then) and if you read the NYT, WaPo and WSJ every day you could spot the opportunities. So when Covid rolled around I was arguing with my financial advisors to get out of the travel stocks they had me in and move in to Amazon, UPS, Microsoft (because of Zoom) and netflix because people were going to be ordering stuff online and either working from home and watching TV. As those four took off I saw stories of people starting small businesses at home and selling on Etsy so I moved in to etsy for a while and paypal. All the while I was watching the semiconductor shortages drag on for automobile manufacturing and seeing how chips were in almost everything. So i was lucky enough to get in to chip stocks back then before the AI boom. Mostly just AMD and AMAT back then. Now-a-days practically everything in that IRA is a tech stock and the 18% that's ETFs is tech related ETFs. It's been a wild ride and I've panic sold a few times for a loss (I was new to trading myself afterall) but now I'm much more calm and calculated.

Bet it’s going to turn green.

We are currently in the “misinformation” phase of the stock market, where the algorithms that dictate the direction of the market often can’t separate fact from fiction. So be sure to warn people about the SpaceX IPO…supposedly there’s a fake one going around by the ticker SPCX. I read on Axios and the NYT that SPCX is some garbage space company people are getting confused with the real SpaceX ticker. SPCE is already having crazy 40% growth a day, so should be obvious which is the real one, but it’s good to get the word out there just in case.

Tehran has not wavered from one condition: getting access to billions of its own money now frozen in foreign banks. The [funds have become a sticking point in talks](https://www.presstv.ir/Detail/2026/05/26/769317/Iran-US-talks-release-frozen-funds-report-), with Iran insisting that meaningful negotiations cannot begin without the money’s release, Iranian state media reported on Tuesday. But [a senior U.S. administration official](https://www.nytimes.com/2026/05/24/us/strait-of-hormuz-reopen-iran-deal.html) who declined to be named told reporters on Sunday that while the question of Iran’s frozen funds could potentially be part of a deal down the line, Iran would have to commit to giving up its highly enriched uranium first. “No dust, no dollars,” the official said, referring to President Trump’s term for the highly enriched uranium, which he calls “nuclear dust.” --NYT Deal in a few hours guys
So many lies in one post. \- CBS did not say the fraud scandal was fake, CBS and others questioned whether Shirley's specific daycare-video allegations themselves proved fraud. Some centers still had active licenses and had not been charged at the time. That's just bare minimum reporting. \- NYT expressed concerns about Somali's being unfairly targeted, considering how many people charged *were* Somali, while others like Aimee Brock (non-profit founder) were not charged. So even if there was fraud, it doesn't mean the NYT was wrong to say the Somali community was being targeted. Expressing concern of ethnic targeting is not the same as claiming there's no fraud. \- Tim Walz did not say that, just a blatant lie. \- Hilarious to make such a fuss about $90 million in fraud when Trump pardoned Trevor Milton ($676 million in restitution claims), Philip Esformed ($1.3 BILLION in fraudulent billing), Lawrence Duran ($205 million in Medicare fraud), the Chrisleys (over $30 million), Devon Archer (pardon erased over $43 million restitution he owed for fraud), and so many more. So maybe stop wasting people fucking time with your pathetic lies, and stop being so willfully ignorant to think $90 million in fraud matters while billions in fraud don't just because it's from people who vote for your same garbage agendas. Pathetic fucking losers.
Fuck. NYT sent an alert. Fuck.
What. It's my personal comment on the quote above from the NYT regard.
That’s cuz the NYT sent out a push notification with fake ass news yesterday and they have egg on their face

Lmfao literally told you fucking dumb fucks that nobody had heard from IRAN yet you listen to NYT and Washington post to get your fucking facts. Actual retards
So how the fuck the NYT reported the following, one hour ago: > US and Iran Agree in Principe to Reopen Strait of Hormuz, US Official Says How many people will keep lying about this?
NYT: “We saw Donald Dump manipulating markets so we thought we’d join!”
I generally like and trust the NYT but this one is egregious. I got a push notification for it. Send the push notification when we have an actual deal that everyone can read and signed by both sides. This reporting is from an anonymous official (aka won't go on the record) and saying it could be days before anything is signed. And the details the anonymous official completely contradict what Iran is saying. Just a ridiculous jumping of the gun. There's been 4 months of this, you'd think the media would wisen up a little. You can't trust what either side is saying so until a deal is signed, then chill with the headlines.
Technically, the NYT is saying US officials *claim* Iran is giving up enriched uranium
Lol this is such non-committal language that they can get away with blatantly lying. Classic NYT.
Can the NYT get this news from a credible source in the US government? By now you would think they understand who they are listening to.
No, they agreed to have discussions about doing so. Per NYT the us officials don’t even have an idea if they get the uranium, a third party gets it or what Edit: this isn’t me saying the market won’t pump btw, just saying that people are not understanding that the nuclear issue is essentially being punted lol

My family was Iron Curtain refugees - the US couldn't get rid of the USSR, until it decided to fall on its own sweet time. It would have been nice to blow the USSR to shreds, but it simply ain't gonna happen. > I wish I could believe that but they keep refusing to halt production of highly enriched uranium I don't think so. See [this image](https://imgur.com/a/gJvACwS) from [this NYT article](https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2026/04/29/science/iran-enriched-uranium-stockpile-nuclear-energy-bomb.html). The 2nd lightest blue is legit reactor grade fuel that everybody has. Under Obama's deal, had nothing but much reduced amounts of legit reactor grade until Trump killed the deal, and they started enriching to 20%, 60%, and now near-bomb-grade 80%. The Iran deal had them bottled up.
Why must EVERYTHING that runs counter to your view be "Trump propaganda"? The fact is that there IS a power vacuum right now in Iran because the Supreme Leader hasn't even been seen. There have also been reports about mixed signals and discussions reported by many outlets from the NYT, WSJ, etc. about debate within the Iranian government about how to proceed. To argue that Iran has been consistent is ridiculous.
NYT, WSJ and CNN should jointly declare that 🇺🇸 has won the war and 🇮🇷 surrendered unconditionally. That’ll calm the markets and we can get back to pumping.

I think two people could have come up with similar novel works on a topical issue and the similarity could be largely coincidental when both works largely regurgitate well known facts and orthodox conclusions. Also, he regularly says "accordihg to the NYT...". But yes I don't understand plagiarism, not even being sarcastic.

I loved that the NYT called it the North American Trade Org. Not even journos are hiding the real role of NATO. Its a proxy org for the US of all its client states.
I don't actually try to make any forecasts about exactly what will happen with the markets because of the reality that running on reserves can't work much longer. I believe that it's going to be however the markets will react to the situation with Iran continuing to drag on longer than most people today thinking that it will. This has ALREADY happened. I vividly remember every prediction at the start of March about how long the situation would last. Not one official prediction in the standard American media, not even one, was saying that it would go on this long. NYT, WaPo, CNN, ABC, CBS, etc etc, not even one. What's already happened can happen again, and I think that's what we're seeing now and will continue seeing for at least a while. Everyone in the markets has always been basically staking everything on this disaster being over very soon, that's how it worked from the start, and that's how it's working now. But reserves and backups don't last forever. So what will it mean when they run out and reality catches up to fantasy? Trump's nonsensical BS has been enough to prop markets up for a long time. What happens when actual objective events intrude because they can't be swept under the rug anymore? What happens when a supply shock hits? That's the question that nobody knows the answer to. But I think that this question does need to be asked. So the end result of all this is that I'm keeping the position I have in the markets right now. But I would need to lose some money by pulling it out of other investments in order to really increase my stake in the markets. I'm not willing to lose that money right now. I think it's just too likely that Iran will keep this up long enough to make the genuine effects of the oil supply shock felt.
So much hate for META recently. First WSJ had a hit piece "Meta’s Cheap Stock Is an Investor Trap". then NYT had a one "Meta Is Dying.

SpaceX in talks with Saudi Arabia to build a “Space Pipeline” to transport oil over Strait of Hormuz, sources familiar with the matter tell the NYT.
From the NYT live updates on the report: "The unemployment rate held steady at 4.3 percent in April, but the news isn’t quite as strong beneath the surface. The number of unemployed workers rose and the labor force shrank; looking out a couple more decimal points, the unemployment rate edged up from 4.26 percent in March to 4.34 percent in April. And a broader measure of un- and under-employment rose, reflecting a big increase in the number of people working part-time because they couldn’t find full-time work." Feels like there's, uhh, a lot going on beyond the 4.3% number everyone keeps cheering like a meme... (and forget the topline jobs added number that is revised every month, usually significantly downward)
"Three senior Iranian officials say Tehran and the United States are discussing a one-page plan for both sides to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and end hostilities for 30 days while they try to reach a comprehensive deal, per NYT"

The summer I turned bolish \- NYT #1 Ber Seller
The markets don't care about your feelings and individual opinions don't matter. Doesn't matter if it's Buffett or your neighbor. Often commentators don't even have skin in the game. The media makes money by reporting and grabbing attention, not by investing. Analysts don't provide insights and ratings out of the good of their heart. When you buy shares, there's someone on the other side, willing to sell at that price. So two diametrically opposed views even in the most basic case. If it was easy to predict markets or stocks, everybody would get rich. That said, in the past, buying the market worked out to average steady growth, but not even that is predictive of the future. Some argue, that it's inherently impossible to predict the market. Sure, you can create great stories with hindsight, but that doesn't mean they are right and predictive of the next move. Stock x went up because good news. But just as often x can go down on good news. X even can go up on bad news, because it's not as bad as predicted. It's complicated. Markets don't react to news, they react to news relative to predictions. With hindsight, it was obvious, that Apple and Nvidia were to become what they are today for example. At the time not so much, if at all. The roadside is littered with the corpses of companies that went nowhere. Your own psychology is probably the hardest part of investing. And it's hardest at the beginning. If all you have is $10,000, money you worked really hard for, sacrifices were made, and the market goes down 20%, that's hard to stomach. You wanted it to double, you even expected it to double. You saw the stories of incredible gains of other people. Maybe you are just dumb. If all you have is $100,000 and the market goes down 20%, it still hurts a lot. It's many months of rent or a new (used) car. Lost progress. Can you stand by, watching the market going down further? Are you hoping for good numbers every time you check your portfolio? But then comes a point where it's $1,000,000, and when the market drops 20%, suddenly it's not equally devastating anymore. You're still good overall, mostly. Most of that million are gains on the stock market anyway. You just lost the equivalent of two luxury cars, but it's not really that bad. Human psychology is weird. There was an article in the NYT some days ago. They had the story of a guy who was down to his last money and decided to play the prediction markets. He turns his last $1,000 or something into $42,000. Incredible. He's right so many times. Easy money. Then places it all on a bet that some rapper uses the word "rapper" in an upcoming interview about a new movie, where he plays an actual rapper. He loses that bet and now lives in a homeless shelter. Funny thing: the raw cut shows that the rapper actually used the word, but it was cut from the aired version, so doesn't count. Great cautionary tale on so many levels. People like to call the market "irrational," but it isn't. It’s just that we can't see the "raw cut." We only see the final broadcast—the ticker price. We tell ourselves stories to make sense of the noise, but at the end of the day, you can have the right thesis and the right data, and still get wiped out by a technicality in the edit. The market isn't crazy; it's just a game where the rules are hidden until the money has already changed hands. So what's the TLDR? Hedge your bets maybe? Expect the unexpected? Don't gamble and especially don't gamble with money you can't lose? I don't know.
Here's what Iran is saying about this according to the NYT: >A spokesman for Iran’s parliamentary national security committee pushed back on a report in Axios that the United States and Iran were nearing a one-page memorandum to end the war, calling it “more a list of American wishes than a reality.” The spokesman, Ebrahim Rezaei, said Washington would not win through war what it had failed to obtain in negotiations, and warned that Iran was ready to respond if the United States did not grant what he called the “necessary concessions.” His comments came as both Washington and Tehran appeared to be applying public pressure over the terms of a possible deal.
