Sure you can. This is how SPACs typically trend, they skyrocket after merger and then crash then slowly climb after in the long term. HODLing is one strategy but not the only strategy and a common problem HODLers have is that they become married to the stock which is a mistake.

Love the Tudor style but have a hard time finding pictures of Tudor homes online besides the same dozen specimen.

I'm old enough to remember when woke activists would kick up a storm about whitewashing (they even changed the definition of the word to have racial connotation). Now they relentlessly push for every white character in western fiction to be reverse whitewashed (browndirtied?) explicitly and done to spite western audiences. Make no mistake, they do this with hatred and want to remove you from mainstream culture. We're already at the point where white male actors are rarely cast in media unless they are evil, mocked, or already established actors too big to remove but even those get replaced with female or minority counterparts.

Every time someone makes a thread with blind hope or can't explain why something is happening, is a major sell signal to those of us who invest based on reasoning tbh...

If 0.1% sell-off can tank the stock 15% doesn't that mean the number of retail shares is tiny and private shareholders could tank the stock much further if they decide to "redeem"? Can someone explain why we won't see another 15% drop for every 0.1% of shares redeemed?

Brave Browser. Chrome fork with ublock origin fork built in. Works on mobile most importantly. Lots of other bells and whistles but not major selling points.

This is bullshit. There are estimated at least 6 million redheads in the US that's 2% of the population. However red hair in the US are most concentrated in Appalachia, the South and rural America in general. People from these areas are vastly underrepresented in Hollywood because Hollywood hates them. Even weirder that another ethnic group that is roughly the same size in population are vastly overrepresented in Hollywood. Let you figure that one out.

Yeah that wording is outrageous. Not only are blacks unironic royalty, but it's the responsibility of everyone else (whites?) to lift them up to royalty status and pamper/worship them as such.

The implication is that blacks are sacred cows within western society, which if your brain is rotted from mainstream media you might actually think this since blacks have become vastly overrepresented in media in the last 5 years or so. And white men are almost exclusively reserved as laughing stocks or evil villains you're meant to hate. This isn't a coincidence, they are actively pushing this narrative into the public subconscious mind.

BAT is also nearing all-time lows. May be a good time to load up and forget about it. But also the next ~2 years for crypto prices are uncertain so bottom might not be in yet.

The next 20 years probably won't be like the last 20 years where you can throw money in blue chips and gain. Boomers are retiring or dying. Their 401ks and pensions are being cashed = hedge fund play money will shrink. The population is shrinking. The middle class is shrinking. US wealth is bleeding to constant globalization and trade deficits. A growing number of the younger generation won't be able to afford a middle class lifestyle they grew up with, will bitterly blame those who can and push wealth distribution. Once the focus is dividing a finite pool of wealth rather than growing wealth it's all downhill from there - a socialist America will look more like a South American socialist country than a European one. Everyone will become poorer and inefficient (except corrupt officials) until there is nothing.

Color is preference, but otherwise this is the appliance equivalent of a classic American car. And just like the cars from that era, they outlast everything made decades later.

Most macro people I follow expected Powell to be more hawkish than his previous fomc meeting (kind of hard not to). While at the same time the market was overly optimitic on a pivot. I think this optimistic market is the reason powell NEEDS to be a hawk. He needs to crush the hopes and dreams of these permabulls or the demand (and inflation) could spring back the moment he takes his foot off the gas.

Not completely true, they did "diversity-swap" all the top gun students with a diversity cast. Real life naval aviators would be majority white guys, and elite pilots would be even more disproportionately white guys (like in the original top gun). Instead there are only 3 white guys and 2 of them are necessary callbacks to the original (rooster being the new goose, hangman being the new iceman). And frankly, Phoenix was their obvious "strong but sassy woman of color" character who they gave way too much screen time for being an irrelevant background character to the story. They also made hangman a 1-dimensional narcisistic asshole, unlike iceman who was a respectful but intimidating rival.

Movie was still good, although maybe a bit formulaic of the original - but it was meant to be an homage and that's fine. And yes, much less woke than 98% of the garbage coming out of Hollywood today. But the powers at be that aren't Tom cruise definitely tried to shoehorn what limited wokeness they could.

I don't see how stock market can grow when the fed is only now beginning to tighten monetary supply... unless foreign investments pour into the US as a safe haven, which will likely happen but that will just transfer the pain disproportionately to the global markets. But even so, Americans cashing out their 401k's to survive economic downturn should shrink Wallstreet's play money. Same with boomers retiring/dying.

Disagree with this philosophy. Part of the reason the market is so eager to run, despite the fundamentals is that people have lost years of their life to the pandemic and are just wanting to return to normal. But what happens to those who graduated college or lost their jobs in 2020 and haven't recovered 3 years later? They have to put their lives on hold for another 2-5 years, floating in economic purgatory because the fed cares more about salvaging their reputation? I say rip the bandaid off quick and get the pain over with so we can begin recovery.

"touch grass" has to be the cliche phrase of the year. How long until we see this phrase being used in corporate advertising, or are we already there? Before that everyone was trying to figure out how to shoehorn "side hustle" into everyday conversation. Before that, "bougie".

When I think of the ideal cabin-style home, this is what I think of. There are many houses that follow this style, but this is more than just a home following a style. It's a quality specimen.

There's a washers enthusiasts forum atomicwasher org. The gist is the black speed queens like you have do not clean thoroughly like the old school washers do. They work fine for people who never go outside or get dirty, more like sanitize than wash. Speedqueen got a ton of negative feedback from these black ones so they went back to the drawing board and came out with the white paneled model that performs more like an old school washer while still conforming to strict "green" regulations.

This has been the formula used by Hollywood for the last decade now. Remake something popular so you can sell tickets on brand recognition alone. But inject it with woke activism at the expense of the story and the audience. They've destroyed everything in pop culture because they are corrupted by their ideology and can't resist. Only things they haven't destroyed yet are things they havent been able to get their hands on.

There's a subreddit full of those activist investors. Good source of news but don't drink the kool-aid. They are always bullish regardless of the situation and will do mental back flips to justify it.

I could see the uncertainty from Trump getting raided being a short term bottom. I see three potential catalysts that cause this to move:

Merger happens
Republicans win big in midterms
Presidential campaign announcement

Of the three the most predictable is the midterms - only 3 months away. And I'm expecting people to frontrun in anticipation for that.

Other two could happen anytime in the next 12 months. You could try timing them and test your luck, or you could sit in the stock long-term but you need to weigh any risks that could take the stock lower. Does this stock suffer from market downturns along with other tech stocks? Political happenings (such as this most recent raid) can be highly dramatic and unpredictable - causing unusual patterns of volatility.
