I admittedly got caught up in the $BMGL hype & didn't look at the chart, etc; u/REEMFMetalHead will I ever learn? I'm holding a $7.82 average but something about this one is intriguing. I saw it being compared to $VEEE on ST & there may be something to that. There's still no volume for the day, because there likely aren't that many shares floating around ATM); who knows what the short situation is like, but that cost to borrow is kinda high... This feels to me like accumulation before a bigger move, but what do I know? I'm not hard pressed this time as I don't have to sell this to avoid a margin debit (is this what having a cash account feels like?) so I'm going to let this one cook.

EmbarrassedPart1256

$CAPS looks pretty bottomed out IMO. It may not be today, who knows when it'll be, but I've got a feeling it'll catch people by surprise... There's on guy on ST that holds like 400K shares, insiders hold a ton, etc. With today's NASDAQ extension, they shouldn't need to do an RS for another 180 days. That's more than enough time IMO for this to get noticed, the way it's heading...

Also the AI slop, and cancelling popular shows. The binge drop model is such a waste and I've no idea why they're so reluctant to change. ST was their landmark show and people stopped talking about it after a week

highest growth assets should be in the Roth first (and HSA if you have one as that is the same tax structure). next tier is Trad IRA / 401k - while these accounts are eventually taxable the intent is that you will be retired when you start drawing and so your tax bracket will be much lower than it is right now and presumably lower than any LT or ST capital gain amounts in a taxable brokage. where you allocate bonds will depend on which type of bonds you hold and whether the dividends are qualified or not - either trad IRA or brokerage could make sense. Roth would not. I do not hold bonds but I do hold high yield equities (SCHD / VTV) and keep those in my taxable brokerage.

About 5 years. I have a work allowance for vehicles so I pretty much only buy Toyota because I put a lot of miles on my cars. So far the best cars I’ve had were the Toyota 3rd gen pickups, Honda Fit and CRV, Ford Explorer ST, and the Chevy Equinox. Worst one I’ve ever had was a Chrysler Pacifica

Especially when the gap comes with no obvious value. I'd get it for some big epic with massive stages, but ST is no such thing. Even after the gap, CGI was confusingly poor. The Witcher poor.

Nivekeryas

I'll forever die on the hill that ST should have been an anthology series, and then each season could've featured cameos from the previous season but the timeline could be way more fluid and they could've had fun kids the entire time instead of full adults pretending to be 17. But as we've all established, Netflix has no idea how to plan in the future.

NotAnotherTav

Where were they advertised until the finale got hate? Even games that dominate their market niche with zero lasting competition that had a license for ST content like Dead by Daylight just had nothing between S1 Demogorgon and S5 Henry Creel, lol. S3 and S4 were genuinely nonexistent EVEN IN STRANGER THINGS LICENSED CONTENT!!! Like bro the dropped ball was genuinely extreme, it was completely off the radar even for fans and the IP. Someone massively fucked up the franchise reach after Scoops Ahoy Steve.

3 years between season 1 and 2 will make a lot of people forget about a show. Season 3-5 of ST, I had 0 interest left.

Drop 8 episodes of a show, people are interested. Make them wait several years for another 8 episodes... I know it isn't SFX heavy but The Bear released FOUR SEASONS of content in the time between ST season 7 and 8 airing

The proportion of the company ownership a share represents decreases. Typically that results in a lower share price in the ST. Medium/long term, it’s variable. If a company is able to dilute from strength, when share price is high, perhaps higher than it really should be by their own estimations, and then the company has plans or immediately uses those funds to enhance operations and increase the overall value of the company on a per share basis, thats accretive (good) dilution.

I am a 65 yo homemaker; my husband is 64 and will still work for 3 more years. We have our retirement savings in several different buckets-I have questions on the largest account which is current invested in a Target2025 fund which is 30% US total market index fund, 20% total international stock index fund, 30% total US bond index fund, 12% international bond index, and 8% ST inflation protected securities. I think we should move it out of Target2025 fund into individual stock and bond funds that are offered. One concern is that the US stock fund is invested 39% in Tech which has been a good ride but I think now is time to choose funds with less investment in Tech. I have researched some choices on Morningstar and some of fund options in plan with less tech and good reviews are small growth, large blend, mid and small cap funds. I am also unsure about being in index funds with the 3 big IPOs this year which will only increase the % in Tech. I would also probably move the international stocks from index to a Morningstar 4 star fund offered. By moving from an index fund, we would pay a higher expense ratio. For bonds, should we choose a fund of ST or intermediate term vs total bond index since we might start drawing from this account in 3 years? We do have other retirement funds managed by a RIA but the VAnguard account is the largest. Would you recommend transferring from the target fund to specific funds and what asset allocation would you suggest for a couple who will access $$ in 3 years. We would like to maintain balances with enough growth to offset inflation. Our home is paid off, 2 of our kids are out of college, working, and married. Our middle child is back home with a child of his own and will probably be living with us until his car is paid off in 5 years...he can cover his expenses if he doesnt have rent. We bought one new car 2 years ago and will need to replace our 10+ yo 2nd car in a few years. We will have continuing large maintenance expenses with a 35yo home-just replaced an AC unit for one floor and it was $20k+.

The copium on ST is incredible; you start to realize you never want to be like them, hoping for a stock to move. I've thought the same thing, that it's oversold, all the way down, & yet each time I touched it I instantly regretted it, like there's always farther to drop. I'm sure it'll pop for you to get positive as the day wraps up or AH/PM. You're probably not like me, playing on margin, & you probably have a high tolerance for holding losses. I'm just over it today. Here's to gains for you though! 🤙

One of the things I've learned about taking advice from ST and Reddit, is the difference between a "callout" and "heavy shilling". Heavy shilling, most of the time = exit liquidity mining.

£5 in my illustration requires a number of good things to happen including garnering a PS ratio of 10, which isn’t out of the question. For example EnSilica’s peer Filtronic is trading at about 15 PS currently according to Simply Wall St data. EnSilica’s current PS is about 4.25 based on the unaudited FY26 results announced yesterday. What gives me confidence is the rapid growth in business and potential business, as well as new intellectual property available and being developed (e.g. post-quantum cryptography, satellite user terminal silicon and a secure processor for critical infrastructure). The satellite user terminal market alone is a multibillion USD industry and EnSilica just took a large bite of the market with a c$50m contract, presumably winning business against market leaders ST Micro and Hughes (of Echostar). The rapid growth this year in contracted lifetime supply revenues from $250m to $375m and a growing sales opportunity pipeline of $600m now, demonstrates the potential here in my opinion. I hope later this year to read of EnSilica’s first hundred million dollar contract based on comments made in a previous webcast by Ian Lankshear, CEO. Nothing is certain in life but there are few small cap companies with such potential as EnSilica in my opinion.

Thanks for following up, even if you’re one of the ones who downvoted me 🤣 I know it seems that way, I’ve just done a lot of DD on it & really like what I see for a penny stock. Fun fact: Berkshire just bought a housing stock, the first purchase since Warren Buffett stepped down (I believe). I just really like the company/idea. I want the stock to reflect the underlying subsidiaries, Instone & CSI. The holding company may have some things to work out but they’re making serious strides. What you said is so true, for trades, which $CAPS is until it isn’t. I missed so many swings on the way down because someone on ST had convinced me not to swing it (imagine; I’ve been getting my head right recently). Everyone else is trading it & every other ticker. It’s the way to do it. For investments, I think you can/could/should be somewhat emphatically invested as well. I currently hold IWMI, JEPQ, UTF, USOI, SLVO, PFFA, & IDVO, & I like them (besides SLVO; still on the fence after today’s drop) so much that I don’t really care about the price. A lower price just means I can buy more.

That whole not filing their ER (still) & facing delisting for NYSE noncompliance has me skeptical. It seems like MMs café keep it pretty well pinned at these prices.

I’m adding it to my ST watchlist; I’d love a winner…

I think it’s just a solid company; it’s what stood out to me. I’m skeptical of a lot of others on here & yet had watched it closely since the pop after earnings. Again, too bad it’s had its run; hopefully I can be more convicted in my calls in the future because I’ve had a good record recently (been on the sidelines of all of them 🤣). $CAPS going into Q2 ER in August or post RS (if they do it) could be a solid play.

STM signed an agreement with Innoscience to boost their GaN technology roadmap last year, who are basically the n°1 players in this space as far as I can tell. SiC and GaN don't have the same use cases though so yeah, it's not really a transition from one to the other, but from silicon towards these two. STM has been ahead of Infineon in SiC (certainly market share wise), and Infineon ahead in GaN. However I think ST can close the gap, given Innoscience seems to be ahead of even Infineon tech-wise. Disclaimer: I'm not an engineer so make of it what you will.

**$GRML Investor Update: Sarfartoq Rare Earth Project Moving Fast** 🔹 Greenland Mines ($GRML) completed its first site visit to the Sarfartoq Nd-Pr rare earth project in Greenland just weeks after signing the acquisition agreement. 🔹 Management inspected the flagship ST1 deposit, the high-potential ST40 target, and the 2.5 km corridor between them, highlighting potential resource expansion beyond the historic mine plan. 🔹 Major positive: Existing infrastructure is already in place, including a fully operational camp (25-30 personnel capacity) and two on-site drill rigs, reducing future development timelines and capital needs. 🔹 The company plans to restart field activities later in 2026, including: • Geological mapping • Data validation • Environmental baseline studies • Preparation for future drilling • Advancement toward an Exploitation License 🔹 A key catalyst is the validation of Neo's 2023 drill program (4,607m), which has never been publicly disclosed. Management believes the data could support: • An updated mineral resource estimate • Expansion beyond the ST1 deposit • Increased project value from niobium, terbium, and dysprosium credits • A materially stronger economic case than the 2011 PEA 🔹 GRML is preparing both a new Mineral Resource Estimate and an updated PEA using current rare earth pricing, which could significantly re-rate market perception of the project. 🔹 Strategic advantage: Neo Performance Materials remains involved as both an offtake partner and shareholder, providing a potential downstream pathway for future rare earth magnet production. **Investor Takeaway:** Sarfartoq appears to be transitioning from a historic exploration asset into a development-stage critical minerals project. Near-term catalysts include independent validation of 2023 drilling, updated resource estimates, a modernized PEA, and regulatory approvals for the acquisition. If management's expectations are confirmed, the market may be substantially undervaluing the project's scale and economics. https://ir.greenlandmines.com/single-news-releases/?storyId=5197268747321980

If you think you will need the money within the next year, I suggest keep most of it in something liquid. At your age flexibility is valuable, especially with an income that varies every month. If i was in your situation i will focus more on matching the investment to the timeframe. HYSAs, money market funds, or ST Treasuries seem like the obvious options. Further, if you're also interested in learning about LT investing beyond public markets, there are companies that provide access to private or early stage opportunities, such as Republic, startEngine, wefunder or UseLegion (all 4 generally offer relatively low minimum investments, probably from few hundred to few thousand). I would view those as a completely separate bucket from money you may need in the next XX months, since they can be highly illiquid and risky. A LT DCA strategy would also be worth considering once you have your immediate cash needs covered.

Nope, happily took my loss finally on Friday. Almost simultaneous to that event, about 100 pumpers showed up on ST and other social sites. the float is over 300 million with more dilution guaranteed for the merger. I think the float will be over 400 million once merger is complete. Not sure how people expect the price to react to that. Volume would need to be in the billions. I realized after 3 months in it that that’s not a good setup. To each their own of course.

Of course you can. I use Google Sheets, it has a built-in function that pulls the current price by ticker. The beauty of a spreadsheet is that it shows exactly what you want, the way you want it. My spreadsheet has two raw sheets that I maintain manually, open lots and closed lots, and it shows a bunch of useful stuff, all in real time: asset allocation by class (US/xUS/bonds), unrealized gains (total and ST/LT), realized gains YTD (to be able to harvest losses), etc. Admittedly, I have been incrementally improving it for years, but with Claude it became radically easier.

ENSIF / ENSI is worth considering. They are a relatively small, yet growing company with the potential for its semiconductors to become ubiquitous in the years ahead in my opinion. Customers (both directly and indirectly) include AST Space Mobile, Jaguar Land Rover, the European Space Agency and partners include TSMC, Arm and Cadence Design Systems. They have also recently signed their largest contract in their history with a European constellation satellite operator for satellite user terminal silicon. They’re just starting to eat the lunch of much bigger chip designers such SATS (Echostar / Hughes) and STM (ST Micro) in my opinion. There’s plenty of research about them on Reddit. EnSilica has also recently started cross-trading on OTC’s premium QX market.

ya its dated but the below part still seems relevant... >To date, Everspin is the only company to have successfully commercialized MRAM. Many other companies have had R&D efforts (some still do) but never commercialized a product: IBM, Infineon, Toshiba, Samsung, Micron, Sony, Hitachi, NVE, Intel, Cypress, NEC, Crocus, Spintec, Spin Transfer Technologies, Fujitsu, and Grandis, to name a few. It is the opinion of the author that these companies are waiting for second-generation MRAM based on spin-torque (ST) technology to mature further before working on their own products, as ST promises much higher densities and performance (and therefore has greater market potential). Most of the R&D money spent by these companies is on ST. Also, as discussed further below, the MRAM market to date has only supported less than 10 million total units sold, which is too small to attract the likes of IBM, Toshiba, Samsung, or Micron. Everspin started out as Motorola in the 1990s, which developed their patented 10-layer MTJ bit element structure and toggle program method. First-generation MRAM devices in production today are known as toggle MRAMs, after this program method. (ST-MRAMs, as discussed in more detail below, have a much simpler program method.) In 2004, Motorola spun off Freescale, who produced the first 4 Mb MRAM in 2006. Then, in 2008, Freescale spun off Everspin. **Everspin essentially owns almost 100% of the MRAM market**, and has sold over 8 million units since 2008 (Figure 3.1-1). In 2012, Everspin surpassed 300 customers and 250 design wins \[10\]. These sales represent units shipped of their toggle MRAM, the traditional MRAM. Everspin has also marketed on their Web site for years the ST-MRAM, which finally became a reality in November 2012 \[11\]. Thanks to their low power consumption, wide operating temperature range (−40°C to 125°C for automotive-grade), and unlimited endurance and retention, Everspin toggle MRAMs have made their way into markets such as data systems (Dell, LSI, Siemens, Emerson), automotive (BMW), and avionics (Airbus)

ThetaEdgeHQ

the irs qualified covered call test is the missing piece in this thread. a cc with a strike too deep ITM relative to the prior day close fails the QCC criteria and tolls the long term holding period on the underlying. once you roll into a non qualified call your shares stop accruing toward LT status for the duration the call is open, which means subsequent rolls may have already broken the LT clock you assumed was running. the decision actually breaks down cleaner than three options: 1. if your QQQ holding period was already LT before the first CC and every roll was a QCC (verify against the prior day close strike table, not arbitrary), assignment locks in 44k LT gain at 15 or 20 percent, and the 30k ST loss offsets ordinary income up to 3k with the rest offsetting future capital gains. 2. if any roll was non QCC, you've been tolling the holding period and assignment may trigger ST gain treatment on the shares too. that changes the math meaningfully. 3. rolling again keeps the option leg short term forever and risks extending the QCC tolling further. buying more shares to net out the option loss does not change any of the above and just commits more capital at a higher cost basis. confirm the QCC status of every prior roll with your broker statements before deciding, that's the actual structural question.

zxc123zxc123

Good question. Because I already had both LT and ST cap gains BEFORE the INTC trade. From selling puts to 🌈🐻s, a trade here and there, pocketing some gains from SHEL/CHRD after the Iran war, exiting T because I want to reduce my taxable gains, etcetcetc. Sure I pay a few dollars to close the INTC sold call, but that LOSS is **short term** capital loss which will offset my **short term** capital gains before my LT capital gains. That way I pay that 0/15/20% capital gains on my INTC calls and other stuff while my INTC call options losses wipe out the gains I make from selling puts. Tl;dr To harvest short term capital losses while realizing long term capital gains.

EmbarrassedPart1256

SIVE.ST is probably the best high risk high reward stock for photonics right now. I say high risk because it's a small cap but honestly there's so much going for this company that the upside is too phenomenal to ignore LITE and AAOI are also going to compound further imo

CFRA has a 12 month price target on MU of over $2,500. I have conviction in the current demand situation. I am not worried. I even got $70,300 selling 10 call contracts Dec, 2026 expiration, $1,630 strike. If I even go close to getting assigned, I would roll 8 calls to January to avoid getting killed for ST capital gains. If I can hold the remaining 800 shares at least until May, I could get the long term rates.

Swaggerlilyjohnson

It's a psychological thing mostly. The ideal portfolio never pays any taxes. Obviously this is impossible but the closer you can get is ideal. This means the ideal portfolio is Borrowing against securities> Long term Capital gains > Section 1256 Gain (60LT/40ST CG) > Qualified dividends (Most dividends if you are a long term holder)> Short term capital gains> nonqualified dividends Now you might say if qualified dividends are taxed at the long term capital gains rate how could they be worse and how could Nonqualified dividends be worse then Short term capital gains when they pay the same tax rate? It's because you have to pay the tax twice (Or even more) if you are investing "Properly" if you get a dividend and then just spend it on something you are not reinvesting the money and then your long term compounding/gains are reduced. This can be fine or even ideal if you are retired because you need to do this consistently anyway but for most investors this is terrible. Because you then have to reinvest it and whenever you realize the gains later you pay a tax again (You get another dividend or pay capital gains tax on it eventually). This means Dividends are essentially constantly forcing you to pay taxes over and over again. Think about an investment with 10% dividend. You pay taxes (At favorable rates but still taxes) then you reinvest it and next year not only do you pay taxes on the principle but you are repaying taxes twice on 1% of that portfolio only in 2 years. Because 10% of that 10% you returned (1%) was taxed the first year and the next year and this keeps going. You do it again next year and 0.1% of that original first year dividend has now been taxed 3 times in 3 years. You are being penalized by continual taxation over and over. It's like compound interest in reverse. And at the end of all this after you have been taxed 3 times on that money and reinvested it. You then have to be taxed a 4th time to actually sell it for capital gains (Assuming you need it in 4 years). This is not disastrous because you notice the amount that keeps getting compound taxed shrinks but the whole portfolio over long time periods is being taxed multiple times. After 10 years a very tiny fraction of the money (0.00000001%) has been taxed 11 times! but 10 times that money has been taxed 10 times and 10 times that amount has been taxed 9 times etc So this is obviously not ideal and if the dividends are high enough one could even argue that my simplified list of tax optimality is being too generous to dividends. because if the dividend is high enough and you are a long term investor reinvesting the money, even short term capital gains could be better then qualified dividends. However this is unrealistic because if you are a long term investor you only pay long term gains. This does mean though that dividends look even worse. Because you are comparing compounding taxation even at favorable rates to favorable rates that are only applied once. In retirement dividends are not really any worse in theory but even in that case they are because you have no control over the amount of distribution. So unless it matches exactly what you want (Or is lower) then you essentially still have a suboptimal setup even then. Since the market is efficient (In the long run) Dividends are simply being paid from the companies valuation which reduces their share price. This means that the effect I am describing is essentially unmitigated. A gigabrain might point out that if the market is efficient this should mean that the tax drag I am describing should be counteracted by the market adjusting valuations down because of tax disadvantage reducing the risk adjusted returns. If they are galaxy brain they may point out that most retail investors pay lower tax rates (Or even none in an IRA) then large holders and the corporate tax rate is high then it's actually a good thing. Except it's not true. Most large holders and institutional investors are actually Pass through taxation (Mutual funds and etfs and Hedge funds and private equity) Or they are nonprofit and pension funds which tend to be tax exempt. Only exception is C corps but they are given tax exemption as well usually through dividend received deductions. The pass through taxation does tend to be slightly higher (Because it is more wealthy clients) however wealthy clients notoriously can dodge taxes often legally and often illegally. Combined with the large entities that are straight up tax exempt this is a wash at best. This means actually that most large holders are more tax advantaged or pretty comparable to a smol retail holder. Unless they have an IRA or are sub standard deduction (What are you doing with all this money and no income? an anomaly but likely still struggling). So this got kind of long but **TLDR Dividends are bad**

Met a lot of former traders without their 401K $. Think long term, with just a small % in stocks for fun. By the way, LTCG tax is less than ST. Good luck.

So the market makers facilitate liquidity. They're the absolute OGs in buying low & selling high. They'll do literally whatever it takes to get their profit: pin the price as low as they need & then let it rip when they get their fill. The guy who owns a ton of $CAPS on the ST board has to be a literal idiot if he's being real because his profile says that he "makes the market makers work for him," when he claims he doesn't know why it keeps dipping. It keeps dipping because *there aren't shares & MMs are at a deficit...*

Wishing I had just gone all in this morning when the ask was $1.73. The ask quickly disappeared with any sort of buying though. Someone on ST posted that they own 25K shares now, me 10K, that’s already ~17.4% of the float or 4% of the whole company as some institutions could’ve sold by now.

OscarCapac

SIVE.ST will x20 from here in a few years

EmbarrassedPart1256

Gosh the $CAPS ST board is so toxic; I’m convinced there are some literally working to kill morale… The company is doing just fine; the stock is being beaten down. Someone’s gonna catch on about how oversold this is & itll 💥

EmbarrassedPart1256

Pretty sure I saw a summary on ST that traders are discussing dilution for $ONDS too; not saying it’s not a good cap, just wanted to fill you in. I’m sure it’s nowhere near $CTM’s stupid dilution…

EmbarrassedPart1256

It's pretty lame. I used to cross-post a ton & that got me banned on a few accounts, but it's not like others don't do it as well; it's literally *rampant* with pump & dumpers. It's wild how many things get pumped & $CAPS is flying under *everyone's radars.* It's worlds better than something like $AMS & I just want to spread the word! This time around, I'm pretty sure a guy on the $CTM board took it upon himself to contact ST support to get me banned. All I had been doing was stating pure facts about the stock: that there're hella options @ \~$1, that the company exists for employees not shareholders, & that they're growing at a snail's pace, not having released any material news in going on 1 year. The permabulls don't like it when you say something contrary to their precious $CTM. Alas, you all are my home now; I started off here anyways so it's nice. I appreciate you all putting up with me.

BeginningRoad1661

lol I’m IP banned on ST as well. things are better that way

EmbarrassedPart1256

Low-key glad I'm banned from ST; the $CAPS board is as toxic as can be. They never understood how bad it makes the stock look to outsiders. Every one of them had a chance to exit on the last pop, some did, & a lot either bought back in or just DCA'ed more. How can you be so upset & continue to buy? 🤣 The stock is down $.0089 for the day (ask is $.02 higher), & the ER is right around the corner. It's clear this one is locked up tight... But what do I care? I sold all my shares... 😉

POET pumping while their laser supplier SIVE.ST is down 7% is insane.  Another journo hit piece or "news" of 2.5% dilution that was announced months ago?

SIVEF divergence! Last time SIVE.ST went up 40% the next day

Fusion stocks are getting attention...because they could leapfrog nuclear power stocks. OpenAI and MSFT investing in Helion, Google in TAE Technologies, Google and Bill Gates in CFS AMFN American Fusion should be fully reporting by end of this week and could get a lot of attention..still hidden from Wall and Main ST.

OscarCapac

His current higest conviction is SIVE.ST Swedish company that is a laser supplier for a lot of hyperscalers and a chips act recipient in one. Aleabito called it around 5sek ($150M marketcap). He posted screenshots of his account buying 1% of the entire company. Currently trading in the 40s with a Nasdaq listing coming soon... INSANE alpha

I don’t think tokenization kills IPOs; it mostly changes the market plumbing and makes smaller listings more viable. That’s what I find interesting in Europe, where SME equity markets still feel underbuilt. France already has a real example with Lise, a tokenized exchange for SMEs, which just completed its first Ipo with ST Group. Feels less like an Ico story and more like old capital markets getting rebuilt from the infrastructure layer

OscarCapac

SIVE.ST has another good x10 to go if you buy before the nasdaq listing

MyEgoDiesAtTheEnd

This isn't sustainable, but I think you're conflating trading with investing. LT, these stocks will not sustain. Hardware is cyclical (they are infrastructure). The demand for hardware will decrease over time as Google, etc come up with new efficiencies with memory (they already released a big one a month ago) and processing. With these high valuations, there will be a crash. ST, these are momentum stocks. Retail investors (like on this subreddit) don't want to miss out on the skyrocketing gains and will continue to buy-in at exorbitant prices. Now, you're gambling. Good chance it will continue to rise, until it doesn't. You play your odds on whether you'll be left holding the bag.

>You reread *my* comment, huh? I said *QCOM will be done for* Why mention "...nobody" then from my comment? Reread mine, and then your own, comment. >Okay? Yes Snapdragon X2 can get a super high ST performance on some benchmark but that literally means nothing.  I love how you try to downplay spec2017 as "some benchmark" lol. > What's the point of a super high score if you still suck at games (due to poor GPU) Tons of laptops aren't used for gaming lmao. >and still cannot run a good number of Windows apps natively (such as Adobe Lightroom)? Something which is improving and will improve at an even faster rate with other ARM entrants. Though I'm baffled at why this would be a point considering the competition here... is another WoA laptop lol. But better ST perf also makes just general web browsing and common laptop use case behavior feel smoother too. >The winner lasted 42 hours *and it wasn't Snapdragon X.* It was the MSI Prestige 14 Flip AI+ (what a terrible name lol) running on an Intel Core Ultra X7 chip. *Panther Lake.* Not even Qualcomm's latest generation though? >In fact it beat out the HP Omnibook 5 14 (which has the Snapdragon X Plus chip) ***by almost a whole 8 hours***. That laptop only reached 34:48 hours. For all the hype that QCOM and Windows on ARM tries to rally around "great battery life and performance", it sure is embarrassing to get absolutely trounced by an old and outdated x86 chip huh lol It is hilarious to me you are calling Intel's latest generation they launched a few months ago old and outdated, especially when the comparison is a years old Qcomm design. Secondly, what's with the shilling here? Reads as a marketing slide. "A whole 8 hours" italicized and bolded. So 'extra' for a 23% advantage. Which is great, sure, but, "absolutely trounced"? And reading your own article, it would tell you about all the caveats and pitfalls of these battery life comparisons. They aren't even the same OEM. Trying to claim PTL has better battery life than the x elite, based on this test at least, isn't valid. Come back to me with some better data. Lastly, even if it better, I mean congrats, Intel is better while testing battery life in a way where the CPU isn't really doing anything lol. I have consistently flamed Intel' CPU teams, not the uncore side, which I've praised endlessly on PTL. >There's already no reason to buy Snapdragon X, and if NVDA really does hit it out of the park with their ARM chip, QCOM is *done* You can't even qualify what you mean by "hit it out of the park". Half of your comment is just meaningless platitudes lol.

You reread *my* comment, huh? I said *QCOM will be done for* >Fun fact, a snapdragon x2 elite virtual machine (to get spec2017 running) gets better ST perf than the GB10 chip lol. Okay? Yes Snapdragon X2 can get a super high ST performance on some benchmark but that literally means nothing. What's the point of a super high score if you still suck at games (due to poor GPU) and still cannot run a good number of Windows apps natively (such as Adobe Lightroom)? Also, funny you mention Snapdragon X's battery life: [PCMag just did a battery performance test](https://www.pcmag.com/articles/200-laptops-tested-one-battery-king-msi-2-in-1-lasted-42-hours-on-one-charge) and guess what? The winner lasted 42 hours *and it wasn't Snapdragon X.* It was the MSI Prestige 14 Flip AI+ (what a terrible name lol) running on an Intel Core Ultra X7 chip. *Panther Lake.* In fact it beat out the HP Omnibook 5 14 (which has the Snapdragon X Plus chip) ***by almost a whole 8 hours***. That laptop only reached 34:48 hours. For all the hype that QCOM and Windows on ARM tries to rally around "great battery life and performance", it sure is embarrassing to get absolutely trounced by an old and outdated x86 chip huh lol. There's already no reason to buy Snapdragon X, and if NVDA really does hit it out of the park with their ARM chip, QCOM is *done*

Geddagod

>...nobody? lol I specifically said QCOM would be done for. Nobody said x86 would be done for. Reread my comment. > A strong CPU is needed for good gaming performance too Not when you are overcompensating on the GPU side by such a wide margin. >so if NVDA gets both done right Fun fact, a snapdragon x2 elite virtual machine (to get spec2017 running) gets better ST perf than the GB10 chip lol. Not that this also doesn't clap x86 stuff, but vs Qualcomm? Not looking as good. >there will be even less reasons to buy Snapdragon X Battery life tbd too.

There're 14,435,905 shares of $CAPS OS; that's a MC of $5.4M, above NASDAQ's MVLS. That's for a company with $71M in revenue & $51M in assets. Their margins have been steadily growing & they're projecting profitability in Q2. With 3,733,077 shares insider-owned & 1,271,220 owned by 3i, 9,431,608 shares in the public float. Given there're probably 1M shares locked up by the longs on ST, the float is likely closer to 8.4M. That's up 5,348,032 shares from 9,087,873 from January. Using an estimate of $.80/share conversion price, that's $4,278,425 in debt that they've eliminated in 2026, not including the debt that they're paying down. Their debt is strategically structured to not put immediate cash pressure on the business. They've been able to extend their LOC penalty-free in the past. U/its\_Oliv I’m real, I swear!
