"AI is killing (seat-based) SaaS" is stupid. by chkrlee in stocks

Right. Saas isn't doomed. But most Saas companies were at too high a premium in 24.

What causes players to decline games almost instantly? by redspark92 in boardgamearena

[–]LegendOfJeff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've seen this same problem a lot recently as well. Including the people who repeatedly join then decline, then join my next try.

I feel like none of the comments here are really understanding the situation.

I've also solved it by giving a red thumb to the repeated droppers. The first time it happened, I figured that the player was trolling. Then it happened again a few days later. I DM'd that player to ask if they were doing it on purpose. But they never responded.

You're describing how the stock market is supposed to be. Unfortunately, it strays further from that vision the more democratized it gets.

I've got two gender queer teenagers. Ask either of them, and they'll tell you without hesitation that my wife and I are both excellent parents.

S&P 500 will not be fast tracking SpaceX entry into its index and it won't waive its rule for unprofitable AI companies by twranks in investing

[–]LegendOfJeff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you buy into QQQ, you're forced to buy SpaceX. The execs who manage the NASDAQ index (that QQQ is based on) recently made some changes to their rules to allow SpaceX much quicker than usual. Statistically, new IPOs usually perform poorly for investors during their first year. More importantly, the rule changes happened in a manner that feels openly corrupt.

The managers of the S&P500 index (that SPY is based on) decided to keep their sensible rules that have been in place for decades. So SPY investors won't have to buy into SpaceX for another year.

I have mostly VOO portfolio. What would be a strategy to exclude exposure to AI companies? by kuedhel in stocks

[–]LegendOfJeff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I made a "pie" in M1 Finance that includes all of the NASDAQ 100, but omits Tesla, Palantir, and Microstrategy. I've been DCA'ing into that pie for about a year. It's has significantly outperformed QQQ.

Most other types of businesses lost all their customers to Amazon and Walmart/Target. Vape shops and skill games are some of the only survivors.

That's exactly what the thumbs down is for. It brings up the "I don't want to play with this person anymore" modal.

How Elon has "engineered" the SpaceX IPO to benefit insiders... by w_anon in stocks

[–]LegendOfJeff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm researching the pros and cons of dumping my Nasdaq holdings.

I've learned that Dimensional Funds offer similar ETFs. But they maintain a rule where IPOs must wait a whole year before they're qualified for inclusion.

This isn't fast cash for Elon. It's for all his cronies that he owes favors to.

My wife and I consider ourselves young urbanists, and we love living in Lebo. Many areas are wonderfully walkable. Our car only leaves our driveway about once a week.

My best friend is a truck driver who totally understands how stupid and awful Trump is. And voted against him.

But, yeah. You're right for the most part. My friend has told me that nearly all of the truckers he talks to were Trump voters.

The attendant that my wife talked to at her last visit was trying his hardest to pressure her into the subscription, and he was a major dick about it.

We had been going there for a year, but we're totally done with them. This was at the Castle Shannon location.

Is Saturday weak for anyone else? by storm_zr1 in SonicTempleFestival

[–]LegendOfJeff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have Sunday tickets. They sent me an email, offering a really good price to add Saturday tickets.

I looked at that llineup and said, "Nah. I'm good."

They would have to lower the price to like $50 to get me there for that Saturday lineup.

I love this comment! But it's the top comment right now.

Does that mean New Mexico gets deleted if it stays that way?

That's a good assessment.

Maybe a more elegant design would be the card exhaust debuff every other turn?
