>market is extremely overbought so any black swan event or series of missed earnings calls on the mag 7 could cause people to start pulling money out of the market and send the house of cards crashing down. Irritating that people including myself THINK that way but then you see we've had MULTIPLE blackswans including but not exclusive to: * A once-in-a-lifetime global trade war between the top 2 global economic powers * Rate hikes from near 0% to around 4% * A once-in-a-lifetime global pandemic * A once-in-a-lifetime global economic halt due to said pandemic * A once-in-a-lifetime all-time high for unemployment * A once-in-a-lifetime attack on our democratic electoral process PLUS a literal insurrection by a sitting US president * A once-in-a-lifetime European land war * A once-in-a-lifetime massive commodity spike * A once-in-a-decade massive inflation spike * A once-in-a-lifetime global central bank rate hiking cycle INCLUDING unprecedented speed of rate hikes by the US Fed from 0% to +5% * A once-in-a-lifetime end of ZIRP era * A once-in-a-lifetime global economic/manufacturing re-ordering as society slipped from unrestricted globalization to friendshored trade blocs. * A once-in-a-decade middle east conflict * An extremely divisive and toxic election with accusations of assassinations, staging assassinations, mud throwing, internal bickering, replacing the incumbent candidate, etcetc. * A once-in-a-lifetime attack on our democratic electoral process (AGAIN) * A once-in-a-lifetime US presidential crypto con * A once-in-a-lifetime US presidential crypto con (AGAIN) * A once-in-a-lifetime "liberation day" where the US declares trade war on the entire world * A once-in-a-lifetime global trade war between the top 2 global economic powers (AGAIN) * A once-in-a-decade middle east conflict (AGAIN) * A once-in-a-decade commodity spike (AGAIN) * A once-in-a-decade massive inflation spike (AGAIN) At this point, I think the market MIGHT crash if we DON'T get a """""""""""""""""""BLACKSWAN""""""""""""""""""" within 6 months

Morgan Stanley is expensive — charges 1.25% PLUS additional fees anytime you buy/sell anything (it adds up!) & your account is only as good as the FA :/ or they just stick you in a bunch of ETF’s anyone can do themselves. Unless you know the FA is worth the cost, ideally find one who charges under 1%…

SkepticalInvestor21

Hey, I appreciate the honest question. The reality is pretty sobering - studies consistently show that 80-90% of day traders lose money over time, and that's with proper training and capital. Even prop trading firms have high washout rates. Your finance background is solid, but trading for income is fundamentally different from portfolio management. You need significant capital (most pros suggest 6-12 months living expenses PLUS trading capital), iron discipline, and honestly, a backup plan. Have you considered freelance financial consulting or remote analyst work while building trading skills on the side? Your ESG expertise is actually in high demand right now. That way you can test your trading strategies with money you can afford to lose, rather than money you need to eat. The successful independent traders I know didn't quit their day jobs until they had at least a year of consistent profitable trading under their belt.

If you‘re not able to think about the negative LONGTERM implications of Trumps actions on your own, then you are clearly not able to understand why the US is losing this war.

He’s combining domestic oil (13.5mmbd) PLUS natural gas liquids (9.8mmbd). Natural gas, yes, is generally 95% methane, but the other 5% range from ethane to hexane (in declining % order). Ethane/propane aren’t really useful for gasoline production in current refining set ups, BUT it’s extremely useful for plastics production (and heating of course), and, for example, we don’t have to waste crude oil to crack it down to ethane for polyethane production. What dipshit in chief is leaving out, is all those countries produce a lot of natural gas, and therefore natural gas liquids too, that he conveniently leaves out of this chart.

> Trump is an old man who is likely going to die soon. He truly doesn't give a fuck about any of this, not even money at this point. The ones close to him are pulling the strings to use up all of the presidential power that is quickly running out due to his time in office or maybe his health. I'd argue that if he has little time left and isn't motivated by money, that's evidence that he's far more motivated by his legacy. I believe he genuinely believes that if he wins a war in Iran and achieves regime change that improves the country, he'll be seen favorably in the future. My evidence for this is: 1. Attaching his name and image to everything. Trump accounts for kids(so they attribute their wealth to Trump), renaming Kennedy center to Trump Kennedy center, Trump banners with his face on them in DC, "Trump-class" battleships, putting his face on National park pass. 2. "Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace" - Donald Trump, 2026 3. How much Trump lashes out at the Media for covering him unfavorably(to the point where he weaponizes the FCC), even though he never needs to be elected again(2 term cap). Not saying there can't be corrupt things happening behind the scenes that we don't know about, anything is possible with this administration. Just saying it's very much like him to focus more on how he looks than what's best for the world.

YungPersian

I disagree with; the 20% people throw out seems like a traditional way of looking at this and don’t personally subscribe to this anymore. Markets nowadays are NOT the same as they were decades ago. With growing prevalence of 401ks over pensions where people consistently invest PLUS greater retail accessibility a decent amount of the volatility that was more easily seen in the past has likely smoothed. I think all of those guardrails need to adjust for how markets are invested in and accessed today.

It couldn't be more obvious that poet will be selling 100g, 800g (both types), and both ELS products as soon as their lines are finished set up (said to be soon).The products were qualified last year, and the production line qualification for all five in house products are imminent. For FIT and Lessengers, it's also becoming clear that they're licensing the platform for 1.6T to Lessengers and FIT who showed those poet inside transceivers this week, to be available next quarter. The timing, availability, lack of PO, silence re numbers all indicate licensing, which POET alluded to one time late last year. The hints about even bigger entities to be revealed in the next few months, combined with the SEC investor anonymity for the 150 million capital raise, PLUS poet estimating that they can get to whole transceiver passive assembly this year, all suggest even bigger announcements this summer. Then, the Russell 2000 listing in May will add more gasoline on top. Management needs a prodding to do better on the investor relations front, no question. But, this will be an extremely interesting summer.

We run algo trades and are averaging 22% over the last +15 years. Plus we tax loss harvest along the way so the taxed equivalent would be significantly higher. We could perform an average 10% annualized and still beat a 13% annualized AND STILL have more tax losses to utilize for other sales. Example: we actually beat the SP500 last year returning 18% gain PLUS, off of a $1M starting value Jan 1, we also produced well over 170k of tax loss.

rickochetl

What you're missing is that people who max out these accounts are going to have significant RMDs and significant taxed assets outside their Roth IRA. If you think of it as starting with $21k pre-tax and having either: 1. $16k compounding with zero taxes forever, or 2. $16k where it will be taxed on withdrawal and $5k outside of the account where a portion of the growth is taxed (dividends/distributions every year) PLUS capital gains are taxed when you sell. $21k looks better now, but if you factor in actual buying power after all taxes are paid, the $16k will have stronger buying power in the long run. It's only a matter of timeframe. A lot of people look at 65, but the real question is "when you will withdraw", which could be 70, or 90, or even after die by your heirs using Roth. With Traditional, you're forced to withdraw and pay taxes long before then, so you lose the long term benefits. There isn't clean algebra you can do on this, but I've run a bunch of different scenarios and this is true as long as you are a number of years from withdrawals (like 10+) and at almost any retirement tax rate, unless rules change significantly.

dten1112

Most likely it's currency. When the dollar weakens, foreign assets priced in euros, yen, or won go up in USD terms even if local prices are flat or down. Your fund's return is local stock performance PLUS the currency move. On a day where the dollar drops 1-2% against major currencies, that alone can swing your foreign fund into the green regardless of what the underlying market does. Check if USD weakened today vs EUR and JPY, I'd bet that's most of the explanation.

I like the CEO's reaction to this. People tend to worry about the payment obligations, because their recent acquisitions are too succesfull. What do you prefer, a too succesfull acquistion, or a poor acquisition? He prefers the first option (and me too, actually). The market is bearish because of too succesfull acquistions... Sounds ironic.

Assuming 3% inflation, $6M is roughly equally to a little over $3.3M today. At a conservative withdrawal rate of 3% that's $100k a year. PLUS social security, which for a married couple in your shoes is likely at least another $30k a year (even more possibly) Not sure, why that is not enough to live on. That's a very nice income, especially if you have your home paid for.

A big short term issue is their current obligations coming up, they will HAVE to dilute/offer shares as part of the payment arrangement, no two ways about it, and then refinance their debt, they have a LOT of money coming due soon, and so this indicates about a 15% dilution, PLUS more debt. Sure, it is not a bad business, and I own quite a bit, but, thats their current negative. The neutral/uncertainty is also big, they are very reliant on current monetiziation of places, via affiliate links, which may or may not remain profitable long term, they are trying to get away from this, but it is still a big risk of displacement. Their larger growing segments of recurring revenue like optic odds, are "overpriced" many say aswell so it isn't certain those will remain popular long term/that those services will remain necessary forever. I think they're a great cigar butt though, I don't think they will last forever, but if the business can maintain for 10 years, which I do expect, and then slowly taper off, I think it'll do well as an investment, with their debt paid off after only a few years, they will be printing money for a little while.

MU has now steadily climbed to $425 ($25 is either far enough away or way too close) up and its approaching my short call strike ($450) and due to the quantity, I dont want to make another very expensive mistake by closing out immediately. 2) MU opens at $460, $10 higher than my short? Bc of qty, I don't make a 5 or 6 digit mistake. Thank you all!

Sagelllini

Because when you "stop playing the game" you tend to lose in the long run, especially when you factor in inflation. [Here are the numbers.](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1q_Ws85WaWWbvAgXgc-_RDo99mZjOOx5uBgMWakuAPLA/edit?usp=drivesdk) Start with $20MM, 4.7% return, 4% withdrawal rate, 3% inflation. After 8 years, your portfolio starts to decrease. You run out of money when you are 34 years in. I guess that's OK if you were 70 when you started; 50 not so much. To maintain the economic value of a portfolio, your returns need to be your withdrawal rate PLUS 3% for inflation. At a 4% withdrawal rate, the Mendoza line is 7%. And 4.7% guaranteed ain't 7%.

If we could make robots in a traditional form factor that had the dexterity of humans we could configure warehouses to suit that. The problem is that reproducing the dexterity of humans in any robot form factor is really hard. Humanoid robots have that problem PLUS the additional problem of locomotion. It's a fundamentally stupid idea that sounds really cool as long as you don't think about it too much, which makes it perfect for Elon Musk. It's also not a given that we'll be able to easily make robots that are actually cheaper to operate in the long run than a $15/hour or whatever human laborer.

I strongly suspect that SOFI will have tailwinds during the second half of this year due to changes to federal student loan availability. Graduate PLUS loans will no longer be available starting July 2026. Without Grad PLUS loans, more student borrowers will need to turn to private loans. SOFI's business model targets young high-earning customers, so it is very well situated to offer loans to borrowers who will be able to repay. I have SOFI shares and LEAPS right now. I think I was too early on the LEAPS, down 15% and will probably sell. I'll be selling CCs and accumulating shares until around July, and I might buy more LEAPS after the Grad PLUS changes go into effect.

since late 2022/early 2023 it's gone line this: end of remote work (return to office). 2 rounds of layoffs totaling 30k+ right before the RTO as well (my RTO date was may 2023). from there we shifted from hybrid (3 days in office, 2 remote) to full in office with no remote. then as of 6-ish months ago they pushed a "return to hub" where many/most employees need to move to a hub location (so Seattle/Virginia) by a certain point or lose your job. then the recent news is 2 more rounds of layoffs (around 30k total again) PLUS they released a new internal tool to flag folks who aren't in office by a certain time and/or spending "x" amount of hours in office which has never been a thing for salaried employees at amazon historically speaking. basically at this point i just feel like a cuck if i stay, lol.

It.would be a tax advantage whether or not your tax rate in retirement is higher/lower. You're thinking of the difference between a 401k contribution or a Roth, as opposed to 401k vs Brokerage. For sake of argument in a simplistic scenario, say OP has an extra $1,000 income to invest for retirement. If he goes with a brokerage, he really only gets to contribute 75-78% (or $780ish dollars) of that now because taxes are due now. But if he goes with a 401k he gets to contribute the full $1,000, which means that the extra $220 will grow and compound for years. So in retirement: Brokerage: Pay taxes on whatever $780 compounds to by retirement (minus $780) 401k: Pay taxes on whatever $780 compounds to PLUS whatever $220 amounts to by retirement. The 401k will have significantly more money.

There are no written documents, it’s only that a boat landed there hundreds of years ago, but we had boats landing there, also. **I have done more for NATO than any other person since its founding, and now, NATO should do something for the United States.** **The World is not secure unless we have Complete and Total Control of Greenland.** Thank you! Pr.DJT MAN, JUST GIVE THE MAN THE NOBEL PRIZE...OMG... WHAT DOES IT COST????

Since Wall Street didn't give me MILLIONS OF DOLLARS despite having invested 8 PLUS times, I no longer feel an obligation to play by the rules. The world is not secure unless you GIVE ME THE MONEY. Thank you!

Let me begin by quoting, in full, a letter that the president of the United States of America sent yesterday to the prime minister of Norway, Jonas Gahr Støre. The text was forwarded by the White House National Security Council to ambassadors in Washington, and was clearly intended to be widely shared. Here it is: Dear Jonas: Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace, although it will always be predominant, but can now think about what is good and proper for the United States of America. Denmark cannot protect that land from Russia or China, and why do they have a “right of ownership” anyway? There are no written documents, it’s only a boat that landed there hundreds of years ago, but we had boats landing there, also. I have done more for NATO than any person since its founding, and now, NATO should do something for the United States. The World is not secure unless we have Complete and Total Control of Greenland. Thank you! President DJT

"Considering you counrry did not give m the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS,” Trump wrote in the text message, according to Støre. “I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace, although it will always be predominant but can now think about what is good and proper for the United States of America.”

Especially when he’s surrounded by bloodthirsty acolytes who can’t tell him No.

And then there's the news of his recent letter (from forbes): According to both [Bloomberg](https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2026-01-19/trump-links-greenland-threats-to-nobel-peace-prize-snub?srnd=homepage-asia) and [Reuters](https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/trump-tells-norway-he-no-longer-feels-obligation-think-only-peace-2026-01-19/), in his letter to the Norwegian leader, Trump wrote: “Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace.”

This 🥭letter to Norway is the most deranged shit you could imagine, even by his standards, for a certified retard. Over the weekend, Trump sent a letter to Norway’s prime minister Jonas Gahr Støre telling him that “considering your country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace.”

You are 100% accurate here. IDK why you are getting downvotes. NO ONE not even NATO has gone in to defend Ukraine from Russia. Trump sees this and knows that no one is going to do shit PLUS, WE essentially ARE NATO. All those countries would be useless in war w/o us. Otherwise why can't they do Ukraines bidding w/o us there?

whomakesthetendies

*From Bloomberg News* Donald Trump linked his claims on Greenland to not being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in a letter the US president sent to Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Store. “Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace,” Trump says in the letter obtained by Bloomberg. “Although it will always be predominant, but can now think about what is good and proper for the United States of America.” The Nobel Peace Prize isn’t decided by the Norwegian government but is awarded by an independent committee.

Dramatic inflation acceleration since 2002. Banks continued creating ~$3T/yr to lend. PLUS, The Govt borrowed $8T during Bush, $11T during Obama, $10T “for CVD” + $3T or so other debt, split about equally 2019-2020 & 2021-2024. All administrations. All Congresses. Different politics. Same amounts of deficit spending.

It’s more than just sending pics and messaging. They have Snap Map, which is very popular and they’re just about to monetize as well. They have Spotlight, which is like TikTok. They have Memories, which is cloud storage. They have Lenses, and they are the #1 AR company in the world by far. Let’s not forget all the data and access to 1 billion users. I mean, they just got paid $400 million by Perplexity and it’s not exclusive. Evan said he wanted to sign more deals with more AI companies. 17 million subscribers @ $750mm ARR, PLUS $6 billion in ad revenue. The numbers are no joke and they aren’t a 1-trick pony.

Yeah I should have phrased it differently We need AT LEAST a Volkner PLUS an administration that will support the austerity measures and coming shocks Instead we have the current administration kicking out the one guy that was okay with riding the shocks out for a soft landing as he has been doing The writing is on the wall... at this point the only real hope is to follow the money... so we see fun stuff like the spike in metals because you cannot beat the whales and Good Ol Boys, you just ride the wave and hope for the best

Do you guys remember that Powell is under suspicion for misleading Congress on the…$2.5 billion PLUS renovation on the White House? Let’s get this straight. That’s more than it costs to build an AEGIS equipped Arleigh Burke class Destroyer. That’s how much to build a Super Bowl stadium like the AT&T arena in Dallas. This is just a remodel and Powell is thought to have lied and mislead Congress. Trump didn’t file charges. Please read news before getting so upset. Context: Republican lawmaker referral: :Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna} referred Powell to the DOJ for perjury charges, citing discrepancies between Powell's testimony and the actual project plans.

No doubt you’ve heard all about “loopholes and tax credits”. Care to list any??? I’m willing to bet you can’t, because they’re just buzzwords people use without any understanding of the US tax code. The way the US tax system works is that it’s a progressive tax, which means people on the low income scale pay a lower percentage, and people on the higher end pay a higher percentage. PLUS deductions and tax credits are REDUCED or ELIMINATED once you reach certain income thresholds. ALSO, new taxes kick in over certain income levels (such as ObamaCare net investment tax). You sound like a very young adult that doesn’t make any money nor do his own taxes and is repeating things he doesn’t understand. Comparing one particular year of any individual, totally out of context, means absolutely ZILCH. Ignorant people love to find a year where a wealthy person, who paid millions in taxes every year for a decade, suffered a huge loss and paid no tax one year. They point to it and say “Look! I pay more than this rich guy! The system is rigged!”

Kills me how often is asking about taking a debit extending a trade out that bled theta dry with an underlying that went completely opposite against them. Like there is a magic fix. Hell no you should not pay to roll it. For OP, JFC man, this is a terrible idea. You have a position that in 7 days expires. It has a lot of intrinsic value though - it’s deep in the money, literally the only thing on your siE. Sell the damn thing entirely before it bleeds more and get your ~32k and get back to an account size you can do something with. This thing has a Delta of damn near 1. There is no mathematical way this thing can expand in value beyond the movement QBTS makes itself this deep with that little DTE. You have no uncertainty, nearly no time, no volume at that strike, and a ticker that has been in free-fall. There is Open Interest but with the volume that low you are going to have to take a scalping on the fill to sell. But the same will be true 2/20 - your 32 contracts is a lot to dump into the market, and then you get scalped on both sides of the roll - you end up filling twice and have to make a sacrifice to the Marker Makers to unload this thing then do it again to get the Feb 20. There is no upside here. Rolling it doesn’t change that. The delta out there is the same - it’s still effectively 1 that deep. It’s just moving in near exact proportion with the underlying. You just pay 4 grand more to watch that happen for a month and lose more sleep. Your debit to reposition will evaporate into Theta decay to the seller. You have terrible TA on an overextended story stock that suggests this currently has more chance of falling than increasing. At this delta if you roll it has to make a full move back to where you started PLUS the additional debit PLUS all the other times you may have done this on it already to get to even. Do you honestly think QBTS has a snowball’s chance in hell of running back up WELL ABOVE where you opened this in 42 Days. Because if you, your broker has some more options to sell you. You need to stop being a fucking dumbass about accepting the loss, and save your damn portfolio. At best, you hold this until Thursday and close it if you want to see if it gains a sliver more from a QBTS surge. But I would try to just chunk out the sells a bit hoping they fill a little above bid as other positions unwind. Do not this expire or roll it. You are FAR sleeping with some money reclaimed before you decide what you are going to do after emotionally resetting.

**If it’s good enough to screenshot, it’s good enough to sell.** I spent 14 years as an institutional Portfolio Manager, and we had a strict rule for outliers like this: **"Feed the ducks while they are quacking."** You are up 650% in roughly 6 trading sessions. That is a 3-Sigma event. The market is handing you a year's worth of P&L on a silver platter. If you hold this hoping for 700% or 800%, you are no longer trading—you are gambling on greed. **The "Free Roll" Management Strategy** You don't have to sell everything, but you *must* remove your risk. Here is how a Pro Desk manages a "Runner": 1. **The "House Money" Rule:** Sell enough contracts immediately to cover your **entire initial investment** PLUS a guaranteed 100% profit. (At 650%, this likely means selling only \~20% of your position). 2. **The "Cash Register" Rule:** Personally? I would sell **80% of the position** right now. Bank the 650% win on the bulk of the trade. 3. **The "Moon Bag":** Keep the remaining 20% of contracts as "Runners." * If ONDS keeps ripping? You still participate. * If ONDS crashes to zero tomorrow? You simply do not care, because you already banked a massive win. **The Lesson:** Paper profits are vanity. Realized profits are sanity. Don't let a 650% winner turn into a "I should have sold" story. Lock it in.

Sofi and other private loan lenders are going to see more business in about 7-10 months due to the elimination of the Graduate PLUS loan, its not about selling the ones already on the books with the US Government.
