I foresee "AI agent" trading resulting in all money being fed to market makers, the only true winners.

If you're letting AI do trades with your money on its own. You have gigantic steel balls. You are also a massive retard and there is no hope for you.

So AI making investments to fund whatever it needs to kill you off? Makes sense. Oil, at least the futures this morning are starting to creep back up, up 4.5 % at 7:30 central time.

Rivian spinout Mind Robotics valued at $2 billion in Series A funding round

March 11 (Reuters) - Mind Robotics, a startup spun out of EV maker Rivian, said on Wednesday it has raised $500 million ‌in a Series A funding co-led by Accel and Andreessen ‌Horowitz.


The industrial robotics company was valued at $2 billion, according to a person close to the deal.
Somehow an EV company not named Tesla starts doing robotic AI and its stock goes down almost 1% but Tesla does the same thing and it goes to the damn moon. Further proof Tesla is just more meme? Rivian easily has the better EV product line (especially after the next 2 models release soon).

Tesla delivery slide may stretch to third year, some fear, as cash burn looms
SAN FRANCISCO, March 11 (Reuters) - Tesla investors and analysts are cutting estimates for its electric vehicle deliveries and some are now expecting a third straight year of decline, pressuring profit as CEO Elon Musk refocuses on the expensive goals of launching robotaxis and humanoid robots.
Tesla up almost 2% today.

I think the idea would be that they are less short-term beholden and can make at least a little bit longer term plans, but it could easily work out the way you're saying as well.

People that think that are retarded.

1st point - S&P has returned almost 14% annually over the last 15 years. Are they saying that returns would have been even higher than that ridiculous number if CEOs were making longer term decisions? Why in God's name would you fuck with your horse when it's running like that.

2nd point - We're seeing massive long term cap ex by the largest companies in the world. Spending like drunk sailors when they could be handing stacks of cash to investors next quarter. Sounds like long term planning to me.

For small publicly traded companies I can understand the reporting relief though.

Yea, it kinda feels like a mixed bag. I have a feeling larger companies will generally try to stick to a quarterly reports, because engaging the stakeholders and being open is generally a good look. I feel some companies will definitely try to get away with more shady stuff, while some companies will benefit from doing less work on things outside their business sector.

I feel like the change is probably overall a good as I like market freedom. I see people talking about enron as the reason we have quarterlies, but 3 months changing to 6 months would have really done nothing to change enron, that was an accounting failure.

Hello, people. I found a new savings account that actually offers 4% interest, was long as you deposit $250/month into it.

Anyway, this account is simple interest, and if gives you interest every 30 days, with a $0 balance.

Would I be able to make this simple interest account act as a compound interest account if I transfer 100% of the money put and back the same day I get payed interest?

I'm trying to figure out if I can cheat myself into compound interest.

Take this for what it's worth, but we are officially below the 200DMA. Obviously it could bounce hard and sail back up, but we may very well be heading into a "bear market"(I always laugh because historically SPY has never beared for more than 1-2 years max).

If we can't consistently break above that line over the next 2 weeks we may be in for a 6-12 month 20% downward trend.

I kept putting off making a post about how we've been trading within a very narrow window all year. Well, looks like we finally broke out of it, on the downside.

I'm conflicted honestly. I see it as a buying opportunity if anything which is great as I am a long term investing type of person.

However, this seems to be more of a trend toward stagflation which is worse.

I keep hearing about investing in SpaceX before it goes public. Elon speculates it'll be a 1000:1 increase. Invest $100, and it'll be worth $100,000 after it's public. Might very well be a real opportunity to earn, but then again, it might be a break even thing. That said, I have no idea how to invest in SpaceX, so take everything I said and assume I'm 100% wrong.

Too early to even be discussing -20% bear markets when we are barely halfway to a -10% correction.

We are still only -5.33% off the highs.

We certainly have some headwinds to resolve, but we are massively in a headline driven market environment that can change at a moment’s notice.

The market is literally just waiting for the stupid Strait of Hormuz issue to be resolved and then its going to shoot up again. Likely to where it was around ATH very fast. The real question is does the market have it to go higher than previous ATH? It was having a hard time before all this nonsense happened. DOW was killing it but S&P / Nasdaq was having trouble.

I'm very curious to see what happens with private credit market. It seemed like a disaster since last year but only getting worse.

Fair point, I did pull the 20% out of a hat so to speak. I was more just expressing that we are crossing some fairly significant boundaries. Looking at the 5Y chart there was only 1-2 time that we dropped below the 200DMA and didnt linger there longer than a month.

Once we sorta touched it and bounced, another time we spiked down hard and within a month or so recovered, the rest seem to be extended stays. I'm mostly curious as to how long we linger below or fail to overcome. The longer that happens the stronger the chance for a more steady downward trend. I think the last drop below it was April 2025 where it basically nose-dived hard for what, 2 weeks(ish) and then proceeded to race to all time highs.

I'm not trying to be doom and gloom or perma-bear, just proceeding with caution at the moment.
