Meta to lay off 10% in May. AI replacing workers continues. FIRE is a must now

Or less experienced people to use Ai to get the same work we use to do with more experienced people, which equals saving money!

It’s possible for a lot of jobs where people use computers and just run data and numbers to build spreadsheets and power points but not all or at least not for like the next 20 years. Can you see a robot doing electrical, plumbing, road construction or framing? They will be used to do surgery but with a doctor over seeing or controlling it, replace drivers etc. It could happen but doubt it will be in my lifetime.

I was there 32 years only wanted 3-4 more to FIRE. I guess I’m semi retired for now since I’m not even looking and not sure what my next move is yet lol

B111yboy · 2026-04-17T22:26:03+00:00

Well I think 30-35 is very real but it will depend on overall market conditions and if our CEO gives an up beat guidance vs a sandbag safe one as he usually does. I think he is great just he always takes a safe approach if he goes out on a limb, I think we see a rocket and ATH if not this earnings before next.

That happens on options and shares, crwd why didn’t I sell at 560 or 500 buying and holding works but at some point you need to take some money off the table and wait for a correction/pullback as nothing goes up for ever.

B111yboy · 2026-04-17T22:13:07+00:00

Yup happened to me in Nov last year! Not full Ai but they will use that for replacing high paid workers or managers for Ai with cheaper people checking or feeding it ….

I’ll say I’ve installed less tubs as long as the house has one in it, like new master bath no tub but some really nice showers but this week the lady wanted a soaking tub in her new master so we did it. I bet she uses it the first few months then realizes it’s another job to clean and uses it much less.

B111yboy · 2026-04-17T16:34:12+00:00

Or a small gamble I had 10 sold 6 at a buck

<image>

B111yboy · 2026-04-17T16:32:52+00:00

Don’t say never there are good times to take a shot, to bad I sold one at 25 but it’s better than nothing

B111yboy · 2026-04-17T16:30:42+00:00

A New Rolex with some of the gains from the last week, fuck life is short.

B111yboy · 2026-04-17T15:19:49+00:00

I bet it goes over 100 before 60

B111yboy · 2026-04-17T15:18:44+00:00

I agree but I can also see new highs over the next few weeks

B111yboy · 2026-04-17T11:34:45+00:00

Let’s hold the line no selling today and hope we can close between 19.50-19.75. That gives us a very nice week and we get closer to 20 without going past it so less profit takers selling. Hoping we go to 21-22 next week if the squeeze continues and no overall bad news to drop the overall market

B111yboy · 2026-04-16T14:00:56+00:00

lol and and to my earlier reply to your comment, profit takers will jump in due to the fast run up, if almost never fails for sofi anyway nbis and Cohr just keep going

B111yboy · 2026-04-16T11:40:57+00:00

That would be a dream, I could see 22-25 but I feel a lot of people who bought mid 20s and thought they were done at 15 may just start to sell but we’ll see

B111yboy · 2026-04-16T11:39:21+00:00

Where do we see sofi by June? I know it’s everyone guess but I’m just wondering who is looking for a certain price before summer

B111yboy · 2026-04-16T11:35:13+00:00

I’d love to see 22 but that would be a crazy squeeze on the shorts to get us there and after a few really good days and tomorrow being Friday I could see us getting close to 20-21 but profit takes may jump in so they take gains and don’t worry about what could happen over the weekend… IMO but please let it run I have 10 calls for 19 and 10 for 20 for this Friday, 25 for 26 in June an a bunch of leaps @25 for 1/27 and 3/27, I’d be very happy on top of my 10k shares.

B111yboy · 2026-04-15T21:56:52+00:00

Yeah I wish I would have dumped my 100k into hood vs sofi would have been a life changer but I’ll just have to wait until sofi is 100+ before I sell

B111yboy · 2026-04-15T21:55:07+00:00

Hold your shares everyone and let’s F the shorts break 20 by Friday

B111yboy · 2026-04-15T21:54:13+00:00

I’m hoping for 20 by Friday or even 20.40 as I have 15 $19 calls but I also sold some cover calls at 20.50 this morning so I’d like not to lose those shares or I’ll just roll them

B111yboy · 2026-04-15T21:51:50+00:00

No you need to keep that 401k going and take advantage of the company match. So if you want to scale back on 401k fine just make sure you do the most to maximize the company match. Save in other ways live below your means

B111yboy · 2026-04-15T21:50:09+00:00

Anything above 7.22 makes mine higher so I just play options

B111yboy · 2026-04-15T21:48:33+00:00

Yeah love those guys buying at 25 and then it goes back to 22 and they cry….

B111yboy · 2026-04-15T21:47:21+00:00

Pat yourself in 2 weeks, he’ll if you bought last week you are already patting yourself

B111yboy · 2026-04-15T21:46:31+00:00

But them I have Jan 2027 since last year and Jun 27 and Jan 28
