I mean, remember how long it took nikola to crash and burn, and it was literally some uneducated concrete layer was going to invent a novel form of hydrogen storage. Quantum computers have way more hype and far less understanding of their issues in the public.
I'm not gonna sit here and bet against it, but I'm very sure its not the sort of stock I want to invest in long term, unless it joins the S&P.

The obvious question becomes, which part of their dual mandate becomes more important? Taming inflation, or supporting a weakening labor market.
Stagflation is worst case scenario for everyone.

I did consider a gamble. I just couldn't figure out if it should be long or short. Hype vs Nope, fight! Remember to sell at the top!

I feel like it's this. The economy seems stuck in the mud. Prices on most things keep slowly trickling up and wages just haven't gone fucking anywhere. Maybe it's limited to my industry, but we're paying starting Ops Supervisors about 2k less than they started at just 3 years ago. Starting salary range was 70-75k and now it's 68k-72k.

If Gemini is any indication of Google ai, you'd have to pay ME 250 a month to use it.

yeah totally greece at 3%, let me know when they hit 7% so we can talk about it maybe hitting 10% .
Japan is trying to normalize they are way late but all it's doing is playing a game of catch up as they finally start removing the finger from the scale. Gayed must be having an aneurism .
Oh btw Japan is fucked.

I'm confused by that. The US 30 year is at almost 5%. Why would Japan's 3% be a big wtf?
The zero and negative interest rates were insane several years ago.

Looks like some reality is finally settling in at The Fed
We need this kind of forward thinking. I’ve no idea what happens behind closed doors, but all Powell ever seems to talk about is waiting for data / data dependent. The idea that we can only look in the rear view mirror and not look forward has been a problem for years.

The BNPL services have caught the eye of Sauron in Europe too. They are frequently used by minors who simply put in a false date of birth to get around the age check. Also interesting that 2/3s of revenue was used for fashion shopping and 40% of all goods bought with it were returned.
The sector is going to be facing full oversight from European financial regulators from next year so they will be treated as any other consumer credit provider with all the overhead that comes with it. Looks like UK and Australia are doing the same. I'd expect that thin margin these companies have to be even thinner afterwards.
New rules to end Buy-Now, Pay-Later wild-west, protect millions of shoppers and drive growth
Over 10 million people who use Buy-Now, Pay-Later (BNPL) products will gain stronger rights and clearer protections under new rules - stopping unaffordable borrowing and helping families keep more of their money.

I sold my TSLA puts for 8%.....it drops another 8$ a few minutes later, could have more than doubled my money. #fail
Trailing stops have increased my % of wins big time, but I miss the big ones I used to catch.....*way* less losses though as I used to get caught bag holding trying to outlast the choppy times. Now once I'm up my safety trigger does successfully fire giving me 2-x%, but sucks on moves like this. I need to find a way to dynamically adjust it as the profit grows somehow, but that's not offered by fidelity.
For history, I used to get burned a shitload when I'd be up 5-10% and my brain tells me, damn that was easy, let it run to 30%!!! Only for it to drop to -5% in an hour and then stay choppy or keep going down. I got sick of losing after I was winning and decided I'll take 100 small wins over continuing to cut my losses hoping for an extra few % points that never came.
