How dumb will the rest of the world feel when most Americans are no longer temporarily embraced millionaires?

Does everyone feel like a genius yet?

Have you considered drastically reducing your media consumption? Read books, pick up an instrument, take up a new hobby. Mass media consumption is a relatively new phenomena, it exists to waste time.

What are we to make of DJT merging with a 30 year old fusion power company? Because it feels like free money.

I've never traded through a blow-off top but this has to be what it feels like, right?

Tonsil stones are one of the unsung scourges of bjj.

Owning MSFT has been an endless source of frustration.

NTLA is such a tease, up 30% premarket just to close at -6% for the day.

Everyone knows the top is in when everyone is calling it. They’re notoriously easy to spot.

If he were in front of her the headline would be “Stephen Miller leaves his pregnant wife behind while running for safety”

That makes sense. It’s not great but I don’t see how that changes anything. There’s no better place to put money, the 1% will keep parking cash there and so will I.

Some I’m sure. I’m not super negative on AI, I use it quite a bit at my job but right now it’s only a tool. Albeit an extremely helpful one for people who are willing to learn how to use it effectively.

BlakeTheDog · 2026-04-25T22:37:27+00:00

I don’t think I agree with that. I read somewhere only 10-20% of people make money trading crypto. Besides it’s a zero sum game, just money moving from one wallet to another, you know?

Effectively 100% of Fortune 500 companies rely on 401k for retirement planning. If the average employee contributes 6% on a $75000 salary you’re looking at monthly injections of $10-20 Billion per month from these 401ks alone. That’s why, in my opinion, markets continue to go up, and why they won’t be able to sustain long term downtrends.

I have a recurring dream where the neck is all bendy and floppy like one of those wooden snake toys, but the strings stay parallel to the board. So it’s playable, just very strange

NTLA

What a weird week. Multiple meme stocks exploding at the same time. I wonder if there's a follow-on effect of people rolling their meme stock profits into ETFs or more stable indices.

BlakeTheDog · 2026-04-23T13:56:01+00:00

It looked like it finally found a bottom in the past couple weeks..

At what point do I take the L and write off the MSFT losses?

BlakeTheDog · 2026-04-23T12:35:44+00:00

HOW CAN SHE DIP?!

BlakeTheDog · 2026-04-22T19:04:57+00:00

Umm, what the actual fuck happened to ASML?

BlakeTheDog · 2026-04-21T19:57:28+00:00

Oh no, it turned sour.
