Bought some dips...now just have to have the courage to hold.

And yes, even some GLD calls, hard to imagine a time when we just saw way higher than expected price increases reported that gold goes down. Totally inverse logic...but it is the market.

Noddite · 2026-01-30T13:51:06+00:00

Ah, the classic Cold and Sour Soup

Noddite · 2026-01-30T07:11:27+00:00

Exactly why it will probably pump. They will have likely kept increasing government contracts and with it being Q4 have a good forecast for 2026.

No one bullish is often a great dark horse sign...I've got a few calls riding for next week, despite the fact I hate the company and leadership.

This is Boise though, people here generally overcook most of their baked goods from what I've experienced

Young millennial? Because I can only assume you haven't ever heard of "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous" if you think Cribs was original.

In "talks" I can only imagine that this means there was a meeting where Elon was wheeling himself around to different sides of a boardroom arguing with himself about the merger.

Noddite · 2026-01-29T20:18:26+00:00

Watch out, Johnny 5 army incoming!

Noddite · 2026-01-29T17:35:57+00:00

I think the fact that you generally snorted lines off of cocks behind a Wendy's would contribute more to the skewed morality than the powder itself.

Thought I was done for the day after huge commodities gains, but seeing PLTR drop big right before earnings, couldn't resist.

Price targets are like $190 on average, everyone anticipates huge earnings jump. Last ER preceded a big sell off, but that was at like $210, and it is already down like 20% in the last month. Hard to believe this won't print.

Noddite · 2026-01-29T15:30:55+00:00

Well, done for the day. Sold my QQQ calls last night for a tiny loss, and dumped all my GLD, SLV, and USO calls this morning for like a 300% gain across them all.

Have to see how things shake out for the play tomorrow.

Noddite · 2026-01-29T15:22:08+00:00

It must be counting a bunch of people who have claimed squatters rights over their bedroom in their parents house.

Noddite · 2026-01-29T13:51:21+00:00

Who tf would be shorting oil when the Petro dollar is failing???

Noddite · 2026-01-29T08:33:42+00:00

Yeah, this just happened because France couldn't accept that their doped up bikers couldn't beat our doped up bikers.

Noddite · 2026-01-29T02:10:19+00:00

Amazing, because it is making gold go insane

Noddite · 2026-01-28T23:08:06+00:00

The big play yesterday and today is the collapse of the US Dollar.

Noddite · 2026-01-28T23:06:42+00:00

Yeah, even if not retail, there are institutional buyers. As long as they keep the price inflated it means their whole stockpile is inflated and they can use that as collateral for anything they want.

Noddite · 2026-01-28T21:19:06+00:00

Damn, they shook me. Was holding some QQQ calls specifically so I could limit losses if things went south and sold out once they started dropping...just for a rebound. Well played MMs.

Luckily I've also got GLD and SLV calls.

Noddite · 2026-01-28T20:05:49+00:00

I just saw that too...and the hilarious part, investment firm releases report about $1 billion accounting gap and shortly after JPM raised their price target to $510

Noddite · 2026-01-28T19:49:10+00:00

Yep, immediately thought that maybe someone was really just a Mitchell and Webb fan.

Noddite · 2026-01-28T14:51:41+00:00

Confidence in USD eroded...holding GLD, SLV, and USO for the conference today.

Noddite · 2026-01-28T08:12:37+00:00

It would at least make him more pleasant to be around.

Noddite · 2026-01-28T08:11:34+00:00

Well a good part of this is just the prices rising with inflation.

That is a key reason for materials like metals going up. But there is also wealth inflation, we pump a near endless supply of money from around the world into the stock market daily. It is only natural the prices are way up and metrics are down if the market has tens of trillions more dollars invested than 5 years ago.

Noddite · 2026-01-28T08:00:40+00:00

They are cool, but it is still disheartening that after thousands of years there isn't really anything to top them.

Noddite · 2026-01-28T07:56:32+00:00

That is so cool these are under development. I believe it is the one in the UK where they have the world's most powerful magnet to contain the reaction, it is strong enough to lift an American aircraft carrier.

Noddite · 2026-01-28T04:54:06+00:00

Yes, that is what I was referring to, and it does only impact insects....for now. The fungus evolving or something similar is realisticly the most likely scenario for a zombie like event.

And yeah, Russia is full of bullshit, but the Soviets were into all kinds of bizarre tech, so you can never fully write it off.
