He could, you know, ask Congress... but is Congress simply too lazy?

He doesnt ask Congress for shit. He thinks he is a king, dictator, and emperor.

What I hate most is all the precedents he is setting. Future "leaders" could abuse their position just like he has.

I suspect the Democrats will likely win in the mid terms.

There was a plane crash in India couple hours ago. Unsurprisingly it was a Boeing... and the stock is down 7% premarket.

From the video I saw there will be no survivors.

More war.
Oil futures surging.
Stock futures tanking.

Seat 11A survived. Sole survivor.

I'd love to hear how, because the plane literally explodes when it hits the ground.

I was going to post this yesterday and it keeps blowing through resistance..I thought it would pull back but kept going up.

Sgmt risky biotech with phase 3 drug. Currently 9.00.

Market cap 300m at 9. Cash on hand 115m, losing 15m per quarter.

Start at 33:22 to see Jerome Powell's take on why we need a 2% inflation rate.

100 airo at 30

edit: sold for 30, going down too much

And stock market going up..

Making no sense what so ever.

And back down. Basically it is in a holding pattern until the fed does nothing later this week. Then the market will return to its normal wild overreaction stage.

War mongering Isreal rattling markets. Will the US actually wait two weeks?

 

[Indus]

hmmm

 

[FelixDeCat]

Crypto bubble anyone?

The stupidly named 'genius' act had one important feature that you would think hinders stable coin adoption - you are not allowed to earn interest on your stable coin holdings. That provision was added by lobbying from the trillion dollar banking industry.

Yet, we have this...

Markets back at all time highs....for now. What will Trump do next to bring the market back down?

I think the tariff pauses end in July and August. Seems like a good time to bring the market down for a while before another pause.

Yes, hopefully so.

Bought about $75K of VGT in the last two weeks from new money accumulation sitting in a money market. Setting buy limits in premarket to aftermarket. Even just last night I was buying it at $460 per share in aftermarket.

Time to take a break and maybe do the usual slow trickles. Wait until there is more bad news to buy into. No doubt there will be.

Too easy.

Note to future self - buy Coinbase under $100, $200 and $300.

From a maximum high back in 2021 of $445 to the bottom of 22-24 (under $100) when the government was after crypto markets, arresting and fining many people, even threatening Coinbase at one point.


Almost back to all time highs above $400 now or $89 billion market cap, joined S&P, profiting from USD/Circle, etc, etc....









I see shorts continuing to cry. They say COIN is extremely overpriced and the current valuation is "straight up gambling". They say its worth only $200. Are they correct?

 

[jpiniero]

Too easy.

Baffling. Even Tesla seems to have stabilized (to a point)

I've seen reports that companies have stopped hiring New Grads, which makes a ton of sense given all the cheating and WFH... but perhaps it's really Corpos realizing benefits of AI?

Spoiler

Actually Indians

-Is the true value of AI in providing the cover of increased American productivity to hide a scummy underbelly of outsourcing?

Close. Instead of having people work from home, now companies will just blatantly outsource the work to foreign countries (who often work from home).

Question for those that use Fidelity.

If you park your cash money in FZDXX money market funds (not a core position),

And then you want to buy stocks or etfs.. does it automatically use the money in FZDXX or you are required to sell it first?

Thanks if anyone's able to answer.

 

[Indus]

I feel stupid.

I bought Broadcom at 235.. sold it 5 months later for a few more (no loss). But over the last 6 months, it dropped to 141.. and now it's 275.

Lessons learned..
1. don't buy because FOMO,
2. don't sell as a Panican,
3. knowing when to sell is insanely tricky! (a lot harder knowing when to buy)

I agree with all of those. #3 especially. Buying low is relatively straightforward. But selling high is quite difficult. And you have to do both correctly for trading individual stocks to work. That is why most people who try fail to gain much, if anything, even when the stock market is doing well.

Now add lesson #4. Don't look back at what you failed to purchase / sell or purchased too early / too late or sold too early / too late--you can only regret it. Spend your time, effort, and energy on the future trades that you can control.

I think I'm just more comfortable with the idea of ETF's rather than individual stocks.. I mean just as an example.. x company affected by tariffs, y company affected by too much infrastructure spending, z company doing great.. when on paper they're all good companies.

I just can't manage to keep track of all.. and an ETF of a general sector or just the whole market might be easier.

Since it seems generally no one is going to beat the market consistently every time.
