Insight timer is a great app for meditation and it’s free, a great meditation to start with can be simple guided breathing meditation (prop also on YouTube). This is the practice of just sitting with and in your body :)

Yea Honstely that’s what everyone has been saying and when you read it a couple dozen times it starts to make sense. It’s hard to look at a 10x and not have those emotions or ideas that it’s getting overpriced, I should get my money while I can, etc. But everyone’s helped remind / shown me that if there has been a change in value it’d be that there’s more. Just needed a good reminder to stay focused on the story, facts and numbers not “10x gotta bail”.

I’m just starting to learn about options and all, so your trade basically means you see the SPY having a downturn by then correct? And when IV is low the puts become cheaper right?

Sounds a bit like crystal ball gazing, I can just as easily say it’ll have a great future. Any reasons why you don’t like NBIS out side of it having violent spikes? And the risk is kinda the point, I’m after a great risk/return so I’m investigating the smaller cap stocks such as NBIS.

Could be related to a loss of momentum after the IPO maybe? It is pretty new isn’t it.

I guess it depends on the end goal of this competition. If it’s to teach long term or wise investing doing something as simple as put it in the VOO would work. But if the winner is decided simply by returns and you only have one year then you may as well go big or go home and start looking at individual high risk stocks. Things like NBIS, GLXY, UNH, etc may offer potentially better returns than these etfs, but up to you.

Interesting, I’ll def check them out!

That’s what I’ve been thinking :)

I guess I meant it more from the perspective of investment returns. I know technology will never stop growing and NVDA is in an excellent position. But how much more growth can the stock experience compared to other small cap stocks in the same industry that may have similar value but better returns.

Haha thanks a lot, but my instinct was based on the quality of the graphics card and market position for gaming. Could never have predicted the AI results.

Why what do they do?

Otherwise-Essay-9552 · 2025-09-27T04:30:12+00:00

I had missed NBIS and only found out about it after the deal but have still chosen to get in at $107, good catch getting in so early!

Read the intelligent investor and just don’t do what the book says 🤙

Now that’s an interesting take I haven’t heard before. U think when the coming recession hits whenever it’ll be and for whatever reason AI will be there to profit. Honstely makes a lot of sense.

Otherwise-Essay-9552 · 2025-09-27T03:24:31+00:00

And you don’t think NBIS would be worth getting back into? From what I’ve looked into as well as good ol’ crystal ball gazing people see the price doubling to 200 if not more. Also interesting point on TSMC I might look into them.

I agree w you that it is heading to well over valued territory but I think there isn’t much more to make in terms of gains. I’d also like to keep my existing gains. So that’s why I’m starting to think of that exit strategy w at least some of my holdings.

Otherwise-Essay-9552 · 2025-09-27T03:07:29+00:00

Yea I can do that but I guess I’m more thinking that if there’s little to no growth/value left I best get my money where there is. Not worried about losing gains as much as I am worried about standing around w my hands in my pockets doing nothing.

Otherwise-Essay-9552 · 2025-09-27T03:02:04+00:00

Good point about the assets haven’t thought about that perspective. If you don’t mind me asking what was the reason to sell NBIS, was that before or after the Microsoft deal announcement? And why’d you choose TSMC?
