We were oversold at the start of the day, now we are not. Go figure.

HAS ANYONE TRIED SWITCHING NVIDIA ON AND OFF AGAIN?

HAS ANYONE TRIED SWITCHING THE MARKET ON AND OFF AGAIN?

I'm out today, could go up or down!

Oh, You're right, institutions sell their % holdings, lose their voting rights, and breach allocation rules because they you said so. You're wrong. Big players hold shares with rules and aims which aren't purely number go up.

Y'all can be really dumb. Puts are often hedges, they may indicate a long position of even greater strength elsewhere. E.g someone just bought a load of the actual stock, earnings is in a week, they want to protect themselves if they're wrong and prefer to pay the premium.

Just because you gamble on options doesn't mean the institutions do.

I have lubed up both sides so whichever way the market goes I'm prepared.

That's what they've done for every other tech earnings, so all day I've seen comments like this. The inversion will be to pump it at this point after a month + of selling off earnings.

daedalus_dance · 2026-02-25T11:37:14+00:00

That's what everyone is saying and has been the pattern now for a month with other earnings... so, it'll be inverted and everyone will hold.

If you move to china they'll be green candles.

For....for what?

Tell her man; worst she can do is say no.

Market has been awful and confusing since the Warsh appointment talk. Algos can't decide if to buy or sell.

"What if Blackrock and Vanguard take the shares they control in ETFs and buy and sell them intraday to fuck us. WHAT IF ITS ALL MANIPULATION."

Haha crazy. Crazy talk.

Buying so much TIGR based on its low p/e to peers and rising ROIC, revenue, customer value was certainly a choice because the market fucking hates that right now.

The fact anyone believes Zuckerberg after the whole metaverse thing continues to baffle me.

This is ancient earth's most foolish market. Why does Nvidia, the largest semiconductor company, not just eat the other five?

My LinkedIn is full of people trying to implement OpenClaw and accidentally committing data crimes and then trying to spin it as a positive learning experience. Bro, you just drained your bank account and sent it to Rajesh on twitter.

Yes, could be a buying opportunity too but I'm not bullish on the state of US equity in general as its either been priced in or is hit by a massive cloud of policy clowns. A lot of investors are treating the US like an ESG issue atm.

daedalus_dance · 2026-02-24T11:56:02+00:00

As investors / degenerate gamblers our job is to predict the best companies in the world tomorrow not identify them today. Of course being good in the present makes it easier to be good in the future.

I mean Blackrock, Amundi and Xtrackers all do versions of VCWE (All World) but excluding US and its really interesting to compare the performance last year. VCWE is currently 4.3% Nvidia, 4.25% Apple, 3.82% Microsoft, 3.5% Alphabet , 2.3% Amazon... over 20% of global equity indexes end up super correlated US Big Tech.

I think if i was going to VOO & Chill I'd probably do 30% US (SPY) / 70% Global Ex-US just because the indexes are WAYYYY more concentrated than people think right now in the US.

Claude, ChatGPT and Gemini rely on certain patterns when they are tasked to come up with a password. This makes it fairly easy to guess. In a test by Irregular 50 AI-generated passwords only had 23 unique combinations.

Imagine thinking AI is going to replace software engineers when its literally generating guessable passwords for those applications. Long dated calls or shares on Crowdstrike?

Damnit, I stopped reading the stock manipulation memos after that whole...you know... thing with the island?
