I use both IBKR and WS. IBKR for complex multi legged strategies and WS for simple CSP and CC. WS has a setting where you need to turn on or off auto excercie feature. So if your long option is ITM on the day of expiry, they auto excercie it for you. I have turned it off but I still don't trust them. I have read horrifying stories like the one OP posted here.

I will dub this “The June Crybaby Crash” because WS thinks rate hikes

Use Norbert’s gambit (have to go to the WS website to do it) if you want to exchange currency for a flat $10 fee. Then toss it all in a mix of VBAL, XDG, and SGOV (USD). That’s what I’ve started doing in preparation of an expected recession.

Tom Lee is now and always has been the biggest Bull Optimist in the WS business. If he thinks we will see a 20% decline that should mean that the average analyst is expecting a 70% decline.

I concern is around all the capex but I agree, the stock prices versus google has been pretty absurd. Google is spending much more than Meta on Capex but WS seemed to celebrate that while it slaughtered Meta. I get the lack of cloud offering but Meta is trading at something like 18x earnings which is crazy cheap in this market.

WS is only expecting CAPEX growth in the low teens for 2027 and 2028, so a dramatic slowdown is already being priced in In fact, what's happened this year so far has completely blown out their expectations from October 2025, when those circular deals were first announced The Big 4's (Amazon, Google, Microsoft, Meta) revenue and OCF growths will be the key. If they keep accelerating like in the past few quarters, then upward revision to their Capex will continue. In Q1 2026, the Big 4 grew their revenue by 19% and their OCF by 32%. Another important clue is how companies that have embraced AI will perform in the coming quarters vs AI sceptics

GammaReaper_

Appreciate the thoughts. But of course the hard part is knowing if the consensus is right or wrong going into any EA. There's lots of highly paid WS analysts who try to get it right. Check out the graphs at the top of my post. Most of the time IV exceeds RV. If you know the consensus is wrong and you know the direction of the miss, then yes, go long puts/calls outright. I've yet to meet anyone who can consistently do that. My game is to evaluate the cheapness/richness of the vol surface and exploit that, all from a non-directional basis. My goal is to mine alpha, not place beta bets.

Thoughts on $FCRS (commons) & FCRS/WS (warrants)? For anyone unfamiliar, $FCRS is FutureCrest Acquisition Corp — Tom Lee’s SPAC. Tom Lee also has a publicly known connection to Beast Industries through BMNR’s reported investment. Separately, Beast management has publicly discussed the broader idea of giving fans potential ownership access to the company someday. Obviously no known connection to FCRS specifically, and a deal this size would likely require substantial PIPE funding anyway. Just following public info and industry overlap. Curious what others think — pure insanity or at least a small possibility?

Dudebobski

BRUN at $33.95 and BRUNW at $22.18 today definitely brought some attention back to the AI infrastructure/SPAC space.. Curious which current pre-DA SPACs people think could eventually pursue an AI cloud, compute, HPC, or data center type company?? Looking at FCRS / FCRS/WS and RTAC/RTACW for now, but interested what others here are watching too. Just discussion/speculation only — pre-DA SPACs are very risky and many never complete a merger.

Two pre-DA SPACs I find interesting lately are FCRS / FCRS.WS and RTAC / RTACW Asked AI to brainstorm possible targets based on sponsor focus, sectors, market themes, valuation fit, etc. Obviously just speculation/discussion — not rumors or claims of talks. FCRS / FCRS.WS \-Crusoe AI data centers + energy infrastructure \-Securitize Real-world asset tokenization platform \-Together AI GPU cloud / AI infrastructure RTAC / RTACW \-IVIX AI financial crime / fraud detection \-Rubidex Data governance + AI security \-Reality Defender Deepfake / AI misinformation detection Again, just AI brainstorming for fun — not financial advice or actual merger rumors.

Cause energy and component costs are raising. So of course Nvidia is increasing their pricing cause it’s impacting their margins too. But the rates that these increases and percentages are not just Nvidia. Vertiv, HPE, Dell, Fortinet, Broadcom etc Everything is going parabolic and you seriously think spending won’t slow down? Cost of revenue for these hyperscalers are already outpacing revenue growth. Give it like 2 or 3 more quarters and see what happens when WS sees those capex numbers.

ILikeCutePuppies

Chip is more expensive than a single gpu. It computes about 28 Blackwell. It's possible with low scale it's more expensive in total but without having to cut the chip and using significantly less wiring, other network chips etc... and really only having to worry about cooling I can't see how this would be more expensive than nvidia per box long term. Possibly space. Nvidia has 72 in a rack verse 28 worth of compute for cerebras. AWS deal with cerebras might change that math. So they need about 3 spots for every one Blackwell box. WS4 will likely be 2-10x faster (2x only by only moving to 3nm with no major hardware changes). Even at 2x it gets pretty close to matching that space although there will be new nvidia chips by then. They are not just competing on cost/energy though. Companies will pay a premium to have 15x the token speed. You can't do realtime apps without that or get work done so quickly.

ILikeCutePuppies

They have 20B-30B from opemAi over next few years and will be in Amazon soon. Let alone WS4. They are just beginning to roll.

Dry-Significance-516

Nice to see fellow WS’er winning! Any other interesting plays you’re eyeing rn? 

Active-Differences

What’s the difference between GCTS and GCTS/WS. I’m not entirely sure how warrants work.

ILikeCutePuppies

Companies will pay a premium for faster inference and cerebras already has some capacity. They are also much more efficient than nvidia in tokens per compute so they can produce a lot more AI compute for the same amount of energy. I suspect some places will eventually just update to cerebras so they can get more from the same amount of energy. Particularly when WS4 is released. That's what AWS will likely do as they transition more over to their own chip+cerebras. So you get more money per token and more tokens per watt.

ILikeCutePuppies

Just look at a nvidia rack. They not only need the gpu's but many other chips to coordinate between the chips, lots of wiring, individual cooling etc... That has to be a fortune in addional hardware and setup. Also unlike cerebras you throwaway a core rather than reprogram and the bad cores it if it goes bad. [Cerabras works by being able to route around bad cores in the bios]. The wafer might cost 1M each (just a guess) but Cerebras is much simpler in design. A main chip, a few smaller chips like a cpu and cooling. If it's not lower cost yet than nvidia with scale it will be. It's a fewer parts for more compute. They haven't even released WS4 yet which is rumored to be a beast. Also that's not to mention the AWS deal/setup.

Remote-Juice2527

WS doesn’t care

Graymyst

You don't keep making money until you sell. If tomorrow all of WS thinks spx isn't worth 700$ then the first whale to sell will trigger the repricing. Offc this has close to 0 chance to happen like that but doesn't change the underlying mechanic.

Asked AI to speculate on potential SPAC targets based on sponsor backgrounds, board connections, stated target industries, and broader social/network “breadcrumbs.” Obviously pure speculation / brainstorming — not implying any actual connection to these companies. SPAC: FCRS , FCRS/WS * Crusoe Energy * Fireblocks * Fervo Energy * Groq * Databricks * Plaid * Revolut * Anduril * Beast Industries * Hugging Face SPAC: RTAC / RTACW * Chainalysis * Epirus * Ripple * Shield AI * Tanium * Saronic * HawkEye 360 * Fireblocks * Rumble Cloud-type asset * Darktrace-style cybersecurity target SPAC: KFII / KFIIR * PrizePicks * Underdog Fantasy * Sleeper * Fliff * Scopely * Playstudios * Kinectify * Boom Entertainment * ZBD * Fanatics Betting & Gaming Again, just thematic speculation based on management/team backgrounds and stated focus areas. Curious which ones people think are actually realistic vs total moonshots?

Decent volume today both commons and warrants for FCRS & FCRS/WS and on RTAC & RTACW.. Also volume on KFIIR rights. Any idea what they can bring? Or will it be just some random no-name target? Thoughts/speculation?…

InquisitorCOC

This is absolutely wrong, as the DeepSeek R1 example from Jan 2025 showed WS indeed freaked out, even Microsoft chickened out for 6 weeks, and had to play major catchup later on -------- In addition, improvement in model capabilities often mean more demand for computing resources For example since early Jan 2025, increasing Context Lengths became a thing, and contributed to the explosion in memory demand

Altruistic_Owl4152

Earnings = lower stock, growth phase is over. Old WS joke, I’m kidding

SlashNXS

WS is the best option imo due to no fees, however **big caveat,** I would use tradingview or ibkr or something for charts and option chain info because while WS is decent at keeping up during volatility but sometimes the options chain prices lad a few seconds if a stock is going through excessive volatility and at that moment - this is where having a better source of data helps when trying to enter or exit a position, I can quickly submit an order based on pricing that's less likely to be a few seconds behind. I will say though WS has made huge strides in their available charts, still a ways to go, but it seems like they've been improving quickly - hopefully that lag problem goes away in the near future, though like I said it's usually only during extreme volatility (orange man tweet, etc) so it's not an issue often, but if you day trade it could fuck you if you don't have an alternate data source.

Dudebobski

Watching FCRS & FCRS/WS (Tom Lee SPAC). Given the broader AI/crypto/fintech/energy themes around Lee, feels like a future target could potentially fall somewhere in lanes like: * Databricks / Anthropic / Perplexity * Stripe / Plaid / Revolut * Crusoe / Fervo / Redwood * Anduril * Epic Games * Beast Industries Not implying any of these happen — just brainstorming what types of companies would fit the overall narrative/network. Curious what others think this SPAC eventually targets.

kashkash21

Wednesday and today was the earnings run up (\~10% gain) reversed & liquidated. WS was hoping too, but didn't meet their goals

atdharris

I've been in this company since 2013, and I just don't get the sentiment. Their quarterly numbers were excellent, and AI has helped tremendously with its ad business that has overtaken Google. The PE is around 20 now and dropping. I get the concern over Capex, but let's be honest, if they were not spending on Capex, WS would also be concerned. If I had some cash on hand, I'd buy some more shares.

why does WS allow people to buy options in their TFSA?

Alarmed_Marzipan_468

Abs-fuckinglutely just the assets of INTC itself is more than $350B in eval, Market has been very unjust in eval to INTC because in secret the WS was conspiring for INTC to sell its fabs and make TSMC the bottleneck of the world. Guess what bytches it didnt happen. Now INTC will first steal the AP from TSMC using EMIB-T then will also steal a big chunk of wafer business using 18AP/14A. within 1 year INTC will be a 1.5T company and within 3 years it will be a $4T eval.

Interesting comeback of NUCL as it approaches the NAV again. Are warrants a good play or not?

This market makes perfect sense when you think about it, all the real WS bros are off with their kids for spring break, so the only people trading are admin insiders, they buy the good news 15 minutes before it's made public (+2%), and they're totally blindsided by any bad news so they don't trade (-0.1%).

Seeking help for a possible bug in Wealthsimple: I had my « emergency funds » in my checking account with WS at 1.75% interest until recently, when i moved it into the money market portfolio at 2.5% interest. Problem is, when it was in the checking account, it showed the compounding interest everyday (a couple cents everyday until they pay me at the end of the month). In the money market portfolio, it doesn’t show any sign of growing. The chatbot told me the gathered interest will appear only at the end of the month. Is it normal or is it some kind of bug?
