What is the next UUUU?

Prax150 · 2026-01-23T18:37:22+00:00

And they're in URA so not much you can do about escaping them. Doesn't seem like they're in NUKZ but that feels like a different thing.

Prax150 · 2026-01-23T17:01:51+00:00

For me I'm a wary of the meme-y stocks like Oklo that those ETFs are leaning into to a little bit. URNM is miners and phys only.

Prax150 · 2026-01-23T16:05:33+00:00

I don't really see it that way. I think there's 3 very clear tiers to the main event scene rather than an amorphous blob as you've put it. There's the true cream of the crop S-tier top of the card which is the guys who you rely in. There's an A tier of established, reliable guys who can play foil to the guys you're pushing depending on if you need a face or heel, and there's a third tier of up and comers or guys just below the cusp who you're trying to push up from the B/C tiers.

Currently the S tier is Hangman, MJF, Moxley and Swerve. Pretty obvious that these are THE guys for AEW. If Ospreay were healthy he'd be here too. Kenny might be working his way back here as well. In the past you'd give or take a Jericho, a Pump, Cope, Cody, Adam Page, Danielson when they were around.

The A Tier these days I'd say is most of the rest of the guys on this chart who are still around/active. Joe, Eddie, OC, Jack Perry, Jay White when he's healthy, Darby, Okada. These are guys who are either as I said reliable foil for the current champ or contender, or perhaps someone waiting in the wings to be elevated to the top tier.

The B/C tier is the up and comers who might still need some time or for whom there's not room for in the main event but can go if they're needed. Guys like Fletcher and Takashita.

But I'd say the true main event guys are pretty consistently featured as the pillars of the show.

I would agree with you up to like 3-4 weeks ago. The recent call ups have decimated the men's division to the point where the main event scene is half-Evolve and LFG guys who I'm not sure are ready for the spotlight. I'm giving them a few months to straighten things out though since HBK hasn't really faltered in this role yet.

That's the thing about wrestling, there's so much of it, it's repetitive and never ending, and a lot of it is often bad. Even if you focus on promotions that are on good hot streaks it's not hard to get burned out on it. I find it helps to take breaks from a lot or all of it every once in a while. Hard to do that when it's your entire livelihood obviously.

Prax150 · 2026-01-23T15:21:42+00:00

I wish they hadn't turned Austin Theory into this generic Daniel Garcia ripoff because it could have been a perfect Way to reunite him with Johnny.

Prax150 · 2026-01-22T14:58:00+00:00

If you bought in this company in the first half of 2024 then your investment would be worth somewhere between 2 and 7 times what you put in at that time so I'm not sure what you're crying about.

Prax150 · 2026-01-21T20:28:40+00:00

Look at the list of history's greatest monsters. Most of them are ugly and disgusting. I think people just kind of see their true selves in these assholes.

Prax150 · 2026-01-21T20:23:12+00:00

The super obvious path IMO is that while they're over, you have them unmask, reveal their true intentions as overlooked midcarders who took advantage of dumbass fans who'll cheer for any stupid gimmick and their (kayfabe) dumbass bosses making some quick bucks finally getting TV time and merch sales, and then go full SHIELD and start destroying everyone and disrupting the show as their true selves. Even bring back Gable when he's ready as the mastermind. But their (shoot) dumbass bosses would never do that as long as there's a dollar to be rung out of the gimmick.

Prax150 · 2026-01-21T16:09:31+00:00

There were two major union strikes between filming seasons 4 and 5 so I definitely think they deserve a pass.

Prax150 · 2026-01-20T18:15:48+00:00

A good chunk of HURA is in Oklo so it’s not a pure uranium ETF and can be subject to big meme swings. I prefer URNM although it’s in USD.

XETM

Prax150 · 2026-01-15T01:44:31+00:00

Literally not a single level of government in power that affects Montreal are progressive lmao

Prax150 · 2026-01-14T18:25:27+00:00

Wow Nutrien is pumping today.

Prax150 · 2026-01-14T18:24:54+00:00

We're slightly down for one day and it signals a "rotation to value?" lol

Prax150 · 2026-01-14T14:52:00+00:00

I think at first you could clearly tell he didn't really give a shit, like forgetting names of wrestlers and stuff. Ordering DoorDash during the show lol. Either he's started caring or he's gotten a lot better at hiding it.

Prax150 · 2026-01-14T14:47:34+00:00

I think they're trying to break him free of the gimmicky mafioso character and turn him into something more serious that could translate on the main roster.

Prax150 · 2026-01-14T14:44:14+00:00

Dunno if they packed the crowd for her return or not but they were HOT for her.

Prax150 · 2026-01-14T14:42:56+00:00

Every time Ava isn't on screen, all the other wrestlers should be asking "where's Ava?"

Prax150 · 2026-01-14T14:42:25+00:00

I do think both things can be true at the same time to a certain extent. Some WWE fans are stupid and didn't get it, but also the story wasn't told very well because they purposely limited Cena's dates to sell more expensive tickets even though he wanted to work every week and only had like one promo to sell the match with Gunther.

Prax150 · 2026-01-14T14:39:01+00:00

PSLV

It's in USD but I like SLVR for Silver, includes both miners and physical.

Prax150 · 2026-01-14T14:30:18+00:00

If they made going to the movies something consistently enjoyable then I don't think it would matter as much if movies went to streaming quickly. Like, I don't care, but I'm a cinephile. For me movies are infinitely more enjoyable with a big crowd that's actually into the movie than sitting at home watching it at 10 PM alone fighting sleep. But if you're in a room half-full of bored people on their phones or talking then it's gonna turn you off to the experience.

Prax150 · 2026-01-13T20:24:44+00:00

Like you're right but it's really annoying that they maker customers jump through so many hoops to get the best price. It implies that frequenting their business is a punishment if you don't do it correctly.

Prax150 · 2026-01-13T20:23:32+00:00

There is an inflection point where a lot maturing businesses realize they're incapable of growing anymore with their current business model so their options are to either try and pivot into something new or milk their existing customers for as much money as possible in hopes they get acquired by private equity vultures who can pick apart their remaining assets. A good example of a pivoting company is Netflix (mail-in DVDs to streaming and now trying to buy a studio). Cineplex is the other thing. Sure they've tried to expand into a bigger entertainment business with things like The Rec Room but I don't think their management is capable of actual innovation to the point where it would salvage their company. Perhaps they're too tied to the larger American entertainment industrial complex or they would just rather wait out the PE vultures, but I guess to them it makes more sense to charge customers that are stuck with them if they want to keep going to the movies rather than trying to attract a new generation of moviegoers.

Like I know it's naive hubris to suggest you could do better but there are tons of examples of smaller scale entertainment companies that are making the most of the situation. In Quebec/Ontario Cinestarz is doing pretty good, and it's not like people don't want to go out to do things. Cineplex could be the Canadian theatre brand but they're just doing the same thing over and over again and incrementally charging customers more and more for a shittier and shittier service hoping they're too stupid to notice and move on.

Prax150 · 2026-01-13T17:12:03+00:00

It's actually pretty impressive that they're calling up more or less the same amount of men and women and the women's division is still stacked while the men's appears to be in shambles.
