When is QQQ 600?

Random stocks have lost 40% in one day after earnings including Trade Desk, Under Armour, Snap Chat...mostly due to lower spending, tariffs and end of low dollar exemptions from tariffs. I wish I had known about the Trade Desk crash. A $1,000 put bet would have netted $20,000 in one day.


Speaking of tariffs, the end of Win 10 support, my Sandybridge 2011 CPU becoming irrelevant as of October..

I decided to buy an MSI Z890 board, 48GB 8200 ram, and a Ultra 7 265K cpu before prices go up (actually came with a combo discount.)

Now I just have to figure out water cooling and see if it will work in my ancient case. I hate cases these days with no drive bays. 🤬

Or just install Linux

I'm likely gonna get banned for this but are you stoopey??

From just about every reviewer.. do not buy the new Intel CPU's.. I mean if you really wanted Intel you could have gone with the classic 12600k or 13700 (non K) which aren't having meltdown issues. AMD has nice alternatives too but there was no reason to go with the absolute worst one in the 265K.

I hope you reassess things and stay the fuck away from water cooling.. if Intel won't fry the CPU.. the watercooling will when it fails!

which aren't having meltdown issues.

That's Raptor Lake. Arrow Lake is crap for games but eh for general usage.

Because I bought a CPU and motherboard at the same time, I got a $70 discount and a free air cooler.

Supposedly the Arrow Lake cpu runs cooler as it is more power efficient than Raptor Lake. Also Arrow Lake supposedly does not have the issues the other generation had.

Besides the tariffs and possibly having to wait another 18 months for the next generation to be released and all the bugs worked out of the motherboard bioses, what cinched the deal for 265 K was this:

The memory I purchased are two 24gb CUDIMMs.

So for now its air cooling and probably water eventually as Ive always wanted to try it.

Ive been an Intel loyalist since building my first computer back around 1992/3. I had a brief love affair with AMD in 1998 but AMD broke my heart around 2001 and I never went back.

Man, look at Nebius go.

One of my little success stories.

Might be a good growth stock if it survives..

 

[Red Squirrel]

I sure hope Intel can recover, always good to have healthy competition.

Absolutely no idea how the market is going up more..

Absolutely no idea how the market is going up more..

Despite inflation increasing 3 months in a row, inflation is not yet increasing enough to prevent the fed from cutting interest rates in Sept. Stocks love interest rate cuts.

Since most of the tariffs were postponed until Aug 8th, most of those effects won't be seen until at least the September data which is released in the middle of October.

Anyone bullish on BLSH?

I got lucky and bought some IPO shares at 37, but only got allocated 2 shares because of over subscription.

 

[dasherHampton]

I like the ticker symbol. lol

I bought 100 shares of FLY to hold forever. I read an article about how the space sector is going to explode sooner than most people realize. And I like Firefly.

Really good day today. Not only did ROKU and CHWY pop but got help from other unexpected places. So everything looks good even with MU and NBIS selling off (to be fair - profit talking was inevitable on those two).
