investors reading the fine print and finding out those dividends aren't "guaranteed"...

Is it wrong to want everything to tank like the apocalypse because I'm in gold and still VERY bitter about all the money I lost to "spacs" and margin and all the other covid19 trading hysteria ?

Or am I justified and deserve a win, FINALLY?

I just wonder how much NVDA earnings are going to swing every other stock that's releasing earnings after them.

It feels AWFULLY .com bubbly to me right now, and I say that as someone who had stock options at the company I was with at the time go to essentially zero worth during the dotcom crash.

Watching my current company in after hours right now and it's turning into something of a schizophrenic's fever dream.

We’ve entered the virtuous cycle of AI. The AI ecosystem is scaling fast — with more new foundation model makers, more AI startups, across more industries, and in more countries. AI is going everywhere, doing everything, all at once.” - Source TradeTheNews.com

double beat - $57b vs. $55b exp and $1.30 eps vs. 1.25 exp.

the house of cards stays upright for now?

$51b from data centers is nuts.

EDIT: Jysin Jysin beat me to it.

BTC rallying off of NVDA earnings because...well I'm not sure.

SPY and QQQ are still below the high from the 10am rally. See if it can build some momentum here. You can feel the market wants to just reflex to "Let's go up!" but just keeps lacking the energy to do so.

Because literally everyone is sitting there like Haus Haus thinking this is a giant AI bubble.

But everyone also wants to ride it. Just not first.

I'll admit to still thinking this is awfully bubbly. Although the tempering to that thought is that unlike the dotcom era these companies do at least have real revenue streams and cash flows.

And my stock angst today has almost nothing to do with NVDA and more to do with other investments I'm slightly rustled over.

Anybody else think something like this might be why the market didn't go nuts on the NVDA double beat? I'm trying to figure out if it really matters.

This sums it up nicely.

Current situation:
1. The US is preparing $2,000 stimulus checks
2. Japan is preparing a $110 billion stimulus package
3. China has approved a $1.4 trillion stimulus package
4. The Fed is officially ending QT on December 1st
5. The US is issuing~$1.9 trillion in treasures per year
6. Canada is restarting its Quantitative Easing program
7. Global M2 money supply is at a record $137 trillion
8. Global rate cuts are at 320+ over the last 24 months

In what world is another wave of inflation not on its way?


We’re basically firehosing money at the economy and asking why everything feels flammable

Walmart changing their listing to the NASDAQ because they are obviously a tech company.

Sounds like carpet bagging trying to get a pump from people buying NASDAQ etf funds now.

Some sage advice:

Bad news is now "good news" for stocks: As the US unemployment rate surges to 4.4%, its highest in 4 years, stock market futures are surging.

Why is this happening?

The reality is that the Fed is being forced to cut interest rates into one of the strongest stock markets of all time.

Because, even as the AI Revolution takes off and the Magnificent 7 exceeds $20 TRILLION in market cap, Americans are struggling.

The labor market is weak, affordability is at record lows, and over 60% of Americans believe we are in a recession.

This is exactly why we continue to reiterate: "own assets or be left behind."

As the Fed cuts rates to save Main Street, Wall Street will skyrocket as the Fed adds fuel to a roaring fire.

We have two economies in the US: asset owners and non-asset owners.

The US wealth gap will hit unprecedented levels.

I would be extremely happy if this guy is right.

I know Blazin Blazin has rightfully discussed the ramifications of such a scenario. The risk for societal upheaval rises as we continue decimating the middle and lower class while the wealthy sit blissfully unaware in their comfortable bubbles. As greedy as I would like to see my portfolio continue to run away, I think we really need to be asking the question: "at what great cost?"

I am out my UNH position (from $260s). Trump declaring war on health insurers and the name is relentlessly sold on pops. Happy to sit this one out for a while for the dust to settle on the Trump / insurer battle. My line in the sand was the 100D MA, which we are clearly giving up today.

Sold at the open for $315
This cut still feeling good. Hasn't really moved up with today's broader rally.

I sure wouldn't be happy. A disenfranchised base is a dangerous thing, they might just rightfully so destroy your wealth with a vote and a stroke of a pen . This isn't the thread for it but wealth gaps are the stew in which communists are born. A strengthening middle class breeds free market capitalism. Inflation is theft by the wealthy from the labor class.

We should all be rooting for fiscal discipline and adherence to 2% long run inflation targets even if it causes short term pain to the capital class.

I'll worry about the plebs when they start worrying about me. I can't take responsibility for society on my shoulders.
