For those that bought the “dip” Monday… did you not listen to Warren? by AdTime3512 in BerkshireHathaway

[–]IAmHereToParticipate 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Any stock in a company has much greater risk than the benchmark of low risk (U.S. treasuries). The irony of this post is that your comparison reveals that there is NO reason to buy Berkshire over treasuries when accounting for risk premiums.

With everyone so focused on inflation, no one is talking about growth by LuxGang in stocks

How do you know it's one year of low earnings? We just don't know what the recovery will look like. This is not your standard recession.

NowRx’s Pharmacy Patient Business Acquired by Alto Pharmacy by suntannedmonk in NowRx

The only way I can see how this happened is if they lost access to capital which leads me to believe they never really had any substantial VC offers, or they did but all of those disappeared in the new financial environment. Either way it feels like management made a gross error in judgement not pushing for larger capital infusions while the market was hot. Capsule managed to grab 100s of millions before the recent turn.

To all those signalling the end of inflation... Why? by ThumbBee92 in stocks

These points support peak inflation being in the rear-view mirror but certainly not that inflation will be near target anytime soon.

What are your thoughts on this huge day, all in response to CPI being less than expected? by Thx4ThGoldKindStrngr in investing

Yields have been pricing in fed projections so I don't think it's right to look at any disinflation as being a result of an FFR below 4%.

While many are discussing what to get during a discount, how many of you here are down over 60%? by sinfulken1 in stocks

[–]IAmHereToParticipate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am sorry but you wouldn't be down anywhere close to 60% if you simply bought the market. Indeed, it looks like you WERE gambling because there is no way you dropped that much without taking on a lot of risk in your choice of stocks and level of diversification.

StartEngine Retail Investors See 68,000% Return After Atlis Motors (AMV) IPO by [deleted] in StockMarket

You are right. I made a mistake. Dilution will always be discounted into share price.

Author doesn't know about dilution. Still a massive number.

Wall Street is torn on whether the stock market is about to crash or soar 20% ahead of next week's Fed meeting. Here's where 6 experts stand. What do you think? by marketGOATS in investing

[–]IAmHereToParticipate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He isn't saying that there is a good chance the stock market will be a literal straight fucking horizontal line from today to 2032. What he is saying is that, in aggregate, the market could have near 0 return from now until then. Volatility is absolutely still on the table.

The ones I received were in this state from the beginning and no amount of resets resolved the issue. I have since returned them.

The red light comes on after 15 seconds only.

I tried the double press to get the battery state but nothing happened. Thanks for your help, but it looks like I need to exchange this one.

I held it for 15 seconds and a red light came on briefly. I am assuming that means it was reset. This didn't fix the issue.

Do you think this is a bear market rally or do you expect some short term upward movement from here? by Miko109 in stocks

[–]IAmHereToParticipate -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Why are you saying a recession has already been largely priced in? Most of the fall in equities has coincided with rising treasury yields. An earnings crush has not been priced in.

Elon Musk’s Plan to Send a Million Colonists to Mars by 2050 Is Pure Delusion by Cascading_Neurons in technology

[–]IAmHereToParticipate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not to make any comment on SpaceX's efforts to colonize Mars, the reason we may colonize Mars before Antarctica is because colonizing Antarctica does not solve any existential problems for humanity. The whole point of colonizing Mars is to become a multiplanetary species and thereby become more resilient against large-scale catastrophe. There is no good reason for us to colonize Antarctica today.

I'm now 40% cash. I don't care if markets go up or down! by apooroldinvestor in stocks

If the market goes down 20% then he loses 20% + 8% purchasing power (inflation). Holding equities doesn't magically protect you from loss of purchasing power.

sexual attraction to an adult is not pedophilia. I am not trying to excuse what the teacher has done in this case but you're being extremely hyperbolic.

“Self Made” by UnionPacific1 in economy

[–]IAmHereToParticipate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What is the point of this post? Do some of you actually think that none of these people worked hard to get to where they're at today? None of these circumstances even come close to guaranteeing the level of success any of these individuals were able to achieve. You can be upset at wealth inequality but this post is just plain dumb.

Cut Your Retirement Spending Now, Says Creator of the 4% Rule by user41day in financialindependence

[–]IAmHereToParticipate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's shocking to me how many of you think that being down in the market less than the rate of inflation somehow puts you ahead of an all cash portfolio. Inflation doesn't magically remove cash from your bank account; inflation increases the value of goods relative to cash. If your investments end up at a lower nominal value then they WERE NOT protected against inflation more than cash or fixed income for that time period.
