Though it’s been some time, I’ve been to their Vegas flagship on a couple occasions and had generally positive experiences. I found their staff more courteous and knowledgeable, overall but I know this is anecdotal. Wish I remembered what I bought because some of the products were really great! Expensive, yes. But I’m already mentally conditioned for the hurt that Vegas tourism’s become. What bothers me is how there is no humility or any sense of reflection on management’s part. Clearly, the tone of this PR is one of “strategic change,” like it’s been such a brilliant plan… Tell me, which part of the “strategy” did acquiring these now defunct California assets to then drop at a loss did this fall into? And all to the backdrop of executives disposing massive amounts of shares on the open market in the somewhat recent past. I hold a small position that I’m likely to recover on the next run. If that run never comes, so be it. I’ll consider the money lost sooner than I’d average down. I do believe the stock will continue to observe volatility but unless there is some truly compelling reason other than riding the general sector wave, I’d rather put the limited dollars to work elsewhere and I’m sure I’m not alone. Thankfully, I pulled some out on the last run as I was hoping the run up was a bit longer sustained. But the market keeps teaching the lesson that if it smells like a loser…

Melanie movie pissed a lot of people off. They saw Bezos gift that talentless bimbo 30 million dollars while simultaneously laying off his own employees. It’s a PR nightmare.

ASTS is the definition of a speculative overvalued stock. Those are the things getting dumped the most. A convert comes with it a PR, which leads to extra volume so dumping is easier. In addition, people who purchase the converts will always start shorting the stock, or selling calls as an arb play to lock in profits associated with the convery purchase. So combine all those things, and its getting dumped aggressively.

Sleaziest and most opportunistic management in corporate America. They've raised cash 4 or 5 times last year and only managed to send a single satellite to orbit. Still no clue if it's working, they released a PR that it "unfolded" but nothing about its performance or connectivity or anything. They have 1 still sitting in Cape Canaveral because they missed their launch window. Not just sleazy, but very incompetent. But they have a cult following, I put them on par with the gamestore apes, except the gamestore apes are reasonable sometimes. They have some paid propagandists here and on X who will twist every bit of news as the next multi-billion dollars opportunity. They will tell you the company will generate tens if not hundreds of billions of dollars in the "very near future". They will take every negative, every delay, every missed deadline, even every dilution like this one and will make up all sorts of fantasies about needing the money for Golden Dome or some far out bullshit. They keep the bagholders on the hook because without the hype, the entire thesis for raising all this cash falls apart. They claimed they had enough money before every single raise, yet they watched their shares get diluted by 300% in less than 18 months. Every time these cultists push their shit about "broadband" from space, remind them where Dish and DirecTV are these days...Remind them of the slew of satellites companies that went bankrupt over the last decade or two. Selling satellite direct to smartphones to off the grid consumers is a fool's errand and a terrible business model, worse than Dish and DirecTV. Dish and DirecTV customers had no other choice. No one in their real mind will pay $10 to get satellite coverage unless they hike the Grand Canyon every week or live in rural Wyoming.

I’m in Korea so investing into Hynix and Samsung Electronics was a no brainer. Locally the price target for Hynix is as much as 1,300,000krw whilst it’s at 889,000krw at time of writing. Seems like the Korean president is willing these stocks to go higher as some positive PR for his presidency. Still some time to hold yet I feel.

Reddits about to receive the worst PR it’s ever gonna receive in the next 24 hours. A mass shooting at a middle school happened in Canada and the shooter was radicalized by people on Reddit idolizing other mass shooters. It’s so obvious it’s gonna tank it almost makes me think calls are the move

chainer3000

I haven’t been able to find such an obvious, high conviction play since I found ASTS and rocket lab both in single digits. Both had a roadmap of immediate major milestones, both in a great PR sector. I’ve been hunting, but no good luck yet.

Wait, I dug into this 41.3% stat doing the rounds, and the context makes it **way less 'shocking' and way more targeted than the headlines suggest.** First, that 41.3% number specifically applies to 14-18 year old boys who were **already admitted to the ER** for drug-induced psychosis. It’s a classic case of 'selection bias'—if a 14-year-old is already having a severe psychotic break, they are obviously at a massive predisposition for long-term issues. It's like saying 40% of kids hospitalized for alcohol poisoning become alcoholics. Well, yeah. The study itself (published in JAMA Network Open) was led by **Dr. Daniel Myran**. While publicly funded by the **Canadian Institutes of Health Research**, the pipeline weaponizing this data is far from 'neutral': 1. **The Prohibitionist Paymasters:** The viral spread is being manufactured by **Johnny’s Ambassadors** and **Smart Approaches to Marijuana (SAM)**. These groups are bankrolled by the same mega-donors who fought tooth and nail to stop legalization across the US. Their biggest individual funder, **Julie Schauer**, **has funneled over $1.3 million into efforts to defeat cannabis in California and other states.** 2. **The Adelson Connection:** The movement is also sustained by the **Adelson family**, **who have put over $10 million into anti-marijuana committees.** **These are the same private interests that funded the campaigns to block legal access in California, Florida, and Nevada.** 3. **The Taxpayer Loop:** These 'grassroots' groups also feed off a **$109 million federal grant pool** (the DFC program). Taxpayer money goes to local coalitions, which then pay groups like Johnny’s Ambassadors thousands in 'speaking fees' to present this specific data in schools. 4. **The 'Neutral' Researchers:** Even the lead researcher, Dr. Myran, is a regular guest on podcasts hosted by prohibitionist authors like **Dr. Ed Gogek** (author of *Marijuana: It's Worse Than You Think*). **The 'science' is being funneled through a high-priced PR machine funded by the same people who tried to block California’s market,** all to make a study about kids in a mental health crisis look like a general warning for every adult user.

[QXO has found it's next acquisition](https://s204.q4cdn.com/433193842/files/doc_news/2026/Feb/11/PDF-Final-PR_Kodiak_announcement_2-11-26_.pdf). >GREENWICH, Conn. and ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — February 11, 2026 — QXO, Inc. (NYSE: QXO) today announced it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Kodiak Building Partners (“Kodiak”) from Court Square Capital Partners for approximately $2.25 billion. The transaction is expected to be highly accretive to 2026 earnings and will expand QXO’s current addressable market to more than $200 billion. >The purchase price comprises $2.0 billion of cash and 13.2 million shares, with QXO retaining the right to repurchase these shares at $40 per share. The transaction is expected to close early in the second quarter of 2026, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions. >Kodiak generated approximately $2.4 billion of revenues in 2025 as a U.S. distributor of lumber, trusses, windows and doors, construction supplies, waterproofing, roofing, and complementary exterior products, as well as value-added assembly, fabrication, and installation services.

The article even says they have tried before. This reads like a PR piece for a start-up. Not saying it can't happen, but this isn't as big as the headline makes it sound.

soliddrink

You are correct that the US can't be a super power forever. You are incorrect on the first paragraph. No one boycotted the US 20 years ago. I'm not sure what you are talking about. If you are referring to the fact that in 2000 most countries bought primarily from the US and now most countries buy primarily from China (https://www.visualcapitalist.com/cp/how-china-overtook-u-s-in-global-trade-dominance-2000-2024/) this was not due to some sort of global boycott. This was simply due to various market factors - China's industrialization, China's plan to be a manufacturing super power, China offering cheap labor that US companies were happy to utilize vs expensive domestic labor, NAFTA, and on and on. Almost all countries were involved with the GWOT, and frankly those that withdrew (like France) drew backlash for not supporting it (although the economic impact of the backlash was minimal, if anything. It was all PR bs). Its not like <insert random latin American country>one day decided "man what the US is doing is terrible, lets go buy from China", no. What occurred was that China offered them cheaper products made quicker, and those countries were happy to buy more from them than the US over time. No one is boycotting Trump. Again, I don't know what you are talking about. The US manufactures very little in the grand scheme of things. We export a LOT of petroleum products, medical equipment, a LOT of food products (soy, corn, beef), defense and aerospace products. We certainly do not export consumer electronics, toys, light bulbs...ya know...the stuff that drives the middle class economy - this is China's business and will be for the foreseeable future. That aside, exports have been trending up for some time now.

barelyreadsenglish

Seems tsla is now hyping up the semi to distract from all the other failures but found this PepsiCo did a 500-mile trip with the Tesla Semi from California to Phoenix, but it was just for PR purposes. The batteries completely burned out, which is why on PR trips like this, they bring three Tesla Semis, with two being towed on a diesel Semi truck, only to be swapped out when the battery dies the other two Semis on the 500-mile drive [this is why Tesla classifies the Semi as being in “pilot production”: the battery pack is not strong enough to deliver all the specs on range, etc. which Tesla promised in 2017].

stumblios

It's priced here because in all likelihood they are diluting and reverse splitting in the near future. Funding through Q2 2027 is at current cash burn rates, which will increase when starting a Phase 3 trial. I'd bet they try for a little PR blitz at trial commencement and try to use that pop to fund the trial. Big players will either participate in the upcoming round of funding so they get warrants, or they'll wait to buy until hype and the price are at lows mid-trial. Buying and holding now for the eventual P3 results is a long road. I would never want to hold a trial-stage biotech stock that long... you'd be lucky if you got through trials with only one reverse split.

Really good marketing and PR. I remember back in 2015 when his book came out by Ashlee Vance, I read it and became a fan boy myself. It portrayed him as this intelligent, likable nerd who was trying to transform the world. Fast forward 10 years and it's obvious now it was all bs. The guy's an asshole who got lucky once and took credit from some brilliant people. Just a grifter who uses his money and power to make more money and take more power.

Waste_Cauliflower_11

Not really? They bought shares. If ASTS doesn’t announce PR, eaither the price stays flat or at most he loses 20% of his port value, but since it’s shares, they can always hold a bit longer and exit when it recovers.

_DoublePumper_

it’s either they announce PR this week and you win, or they don’t and you’re fried

StinkeyeNoodle

Agreed, but it’s all about perception. America was never the good guy but they did have half the world tricked into believing it. Trump exposed America for what it really is to the rest of the world, and China has stepped up its PR and soft power campaign while America is threatening invasion of Allies.

I love how AI always uses the robot (actual) version of Musk and not his PR fuccboi makeover.

I think Tesla has a very interesting use-case. Despite Tesla having subpar sales performance and technology across multiple sectors, Tesla does have this — an autonomous lifestyle concept that can be built out. The Tesla profile is a bit more complicated considering it’s not just an electric vehicle company anymore, it’s arguably a robotics company at this point. I believe Tesla’s value is much higher due to its economy of scale and potential. Efficiency, reliability and margins can be improved so this is relatively unimportant at Tesla’s scale the name of the game at Tesla’s scale is getting as much market share as possible, if the world is going to switch to EV’s then Tesla is the only company with the capacity to deliver — do their robo-taxis suck? Absolutely. But it doesn’t really matter. Waymo has proven that it can turn any vehicle into an autonomous vehicle, a vehicle with built in autonomous features just makes the Waymo/Tesla use-case more reliable and safer. but you’re right… Elon doesn’t seem very focused or motivated regarding Tesla but he isn’t entirely out of his depth either. Tesla has one of the most sophisticated charging networks, battery technology (for now), robotics technology and large enough manufacturing capacity to meet demand (as previously stated). The company has questionable PR, sure… but at the end of the day the work is getting done and that’s what’s more important. Tesla is not Elon Musk and Elon Musk is not Tesla. Elon Musk works for Tesla — technically. I own some Tesla shares simply because only a fool wouldn’t be able to see how exponentially valuable this company’s future prospects are. If the company has reached this scale, this quickly, while maintaining somewhat of a positive margin, then during their process optimization phase, they’ll likely demonstrate a higher EPS, justifying their share price.

Gotta love how there is bigger pushback on 🥭 posting a racist AI video (which he’s done many many times) than him being the main person in the Epstein files. Like why even backtrack the video? Not like your supporters are going to care. You killed two citizens in Minnesota and you’re credibly accused of raping many children but you’re afraid of the PR damage a racist AI video? Give me a break. Like who outside of disingenuous right wingers and right wing bots are seriously like “I really like 🥭 but this AI video has me rethinking things”. Like who are they trying to convince? Why even bother with the performance? That’s what most infuriating about modern racists. No conviction. Give me the old fashioned racists with their three fifths, one drop rule, separate but not equal and hard R’s. Stand by your actions.

RichPokeScalper

There are plenty of counter examples. Companies that proved to be solid investments while their CEOs who made terrible decisions and were PR nightmares. I have owned several. Let’s see Micheal Eisner, Lloyd Blankenfein, and geeze do you remember Larry Ellison? Hated that guy. All of those companies did fine. Because in the end a CEO is not the reason a company makes money or not.

Lol, I spent my last 5 years working on the kind of codebase you are talking about. I also use coding assistants every day and I know your limits: for example in my team I don't allow any code that goes to production to be AI generated. Still, with the help of claude code I probably make the work of 2-3 people. Unit/integration tests? All AI generated. CI/CD pipelines? documentation? Commits/PR comments? Jira? All AI. And Claude also helps with finding the bugs quicker. We even allowed agents to use our job submission tool for debugging some simple issues that sometimes arise on the grid. The whole point of SaaS is that for most clients it is more convenient to pay the service fees than to develop the solution themselves and host on prem. Now the barrier is much lower, and much smaller companies can afford to do by themselves.

kurujt

I thought so until a few months ago. I've been programming 25 years, am a senior dev with people under me, etc. 2 years ago, I was dismissive, 6 months ago, I was unsure. With a paid plan we use now, we stopped hiring and are considering layoffs. All changes from agents go into PRs, which are reviewed. The code structure and quality requires changes periodically, but it's ludicrously powerful now. This morning I merged a 50 file PR that would have taken someone 4-5 days that took about 10 minutes (and most of our token allowance). Another developer I know has wired their business people into JIRA which the agents read and develop against. These reviews are tested by no context agents. The final PRs go to people for review, etc, and the issue tracker for items found is monitored by agents. He's seeing weeks of work go down to hours.

gillstone_cowboy

Is it a signed contract? No? Then it's PR bullshit.

I dunno are we not at the point where every company that has layoffs "due to AI" we just kinda scoff and say it's just an excuse?

Commercial_Ease8053

The key is not getting greedy about it. For example, nbis opens at $102.55, I sell all my shares. As soon as nbis hits even $102.35 I buy them back. I’m getting more shares for the same money. Sure, nbis might go even lower and dip to $94.75… but that’s not my concern. Because I already successful got a better position. I’m not chasing the bottom, I’m hitting buy as soon as I can buy even 5 or 10 or 50 more shares. You may say, okay but what happens on days when you sell and it immediately moons 5 seconds later? That’s the risk. You have to be ready to close the app and just accept you’re getting off the train and don’t let yourself buy back at a higher price. You just accept the fact that you sold at the wrong time and you sit out until a day or a week or a month later when it dips and you’re ready to buy back in. Sometimes there could be a mega PR bombshell and you miss it. That’s the risk…. It usually doesn’t happen.

Mostly because algos can snatch headlines and decide to buy or sell within miliseconds, faster than any retail. Their code runs on the same datacenter as the stock exchanges to minimize delay. However, if the good news has real substance, it's not late to chase because big capitals need time to accumulate their huge positions. Which is why you see during earnings, on a surprise beat, you have an initial spike by algos, a retrace about 5 minutes later for algos to exit on retails who smashed buy button manually, but if the earning has substance and not just PR nonsense, then the rest night price will continue to rise and even those who bought into algo sells will make a good profit. One clean example was AEO's last earnings, algo instant buy, exit on retail rush, but because the earnings call is considered good and hence big money gradually piled in over the next few days. So those who were algo's exit liquidity still makes money if the hold through the noise.

It used to be the #1 fan of Nvidia Jim Cramer might get one time slot with Jensen Huang per year. They just announced he’s doing a spontaneous appearance on today’s Mad Money, which would be **the 4th Cramer/Huang PR in a month.** Clearly there’s some PR worries afoot, and he’s probably doing this to try and counter the gossip about major customer OpenAI looking harder for alternatives.

I'm so old that I can remember a time where emails being released showing a company's CEO begging to be invited to a pedophile's island sex parties would, y'know… be a problem for the company. I'm pretty sure the entire concept of a "scandal" is obsolete at this point. Situations that would have companies wringing their hands and having to issue public apologies and PR statements are now handled by "just wait it out a couple of hours, it will be out of the news cycle by the afternoon and no one will care. They barely care now anyway."

They also have a PR problem (their CEO).  America Inc is developing a bit of a shit reputation (nice Island friend, mind if I invade it) and palatir is hand in glove with the regime and the rest of the world is trying to reduce reliance, not increase it.

Feasibility studies on juniors like [$ITRG](http://localhost:3000/ticker/ITRG?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=comment&utm_campaign=RobinHoodPennyStocks&utm_term=ITRG&utm_content=debate_1770108574588_rgnqci) are nice PR but rarely move the needle until they actually drill. Permitting and financing are still years away and commodity prices have already cooled from last year's highs.

CEO of Sandisk needs some good PR. Signature on a big booty Latina’s cheeks would do the job.

I think it’s true OpenAI is trying to save face The second I read the story, which claims EIGHT sources I thought - this is not good news for either company. Nvidia is probably pissed at them and likewise Bad PR all around. That’s all execs do, they don’t care about technicals they care about stock prices. Public perception is a huge factor in that. And that’s a close ally/partner

It was pretty wild to see such a large sell off of Unity stock based on Genie 3. I've been working professionaly with game engines for over a decade so I know how to build them. Conceptually I can't see how Genie 3 can be used to replace a game engine but maybe could be handy in the visualization space. AI code generation on the other hand is pretty amazing these days for game developers and is a production multiplier for a good developer. Unity is still a really enjoyable engine to work with. The company just needs to work on its PR.

After the runtime fee PR disaster there was a lot of noise on social media regarding developers leaving Unity for Godot but from what I could see the vast majority were vocal hobbyists and students who Unity does not make much money off. Unity excels in the mobile gaming market which is over 50% of the gaming industry. The big companies in that space don't make knee jerk reactions. Unreal is the defacto for big budget AAA titles but on the whole is not as suited for mobile games.

Maybe -- alot of the categories are less competitive then others IE I was in the marketing one and didn't have that much momentum -- just a PR person + a successful 5M seed round.
