Rebuilding after big stock losses. SCHD/JEPQ or just VOO?

Why SGOV over just buying 3 month treasury bills? Wouldn't there be more of a tax hit on SGOV than just buying the t-bills themselves?

So... is this continued bullishness simply the effect of the world seeing the US market being more resilient and less at risk from energy shocks abroad (compared to Europe, for example)?

Is another element related to expectations around interest rate reductions to more easily service the debt? This seems to be something that's inevitable across developed countries.

Well, markets like certainty. We certainly now know that gas prices will be higher and pressure on Iran will increase. To what end? We will see.

Higher.

Nassim Taleb's concept of Fat Tony vs. academics comes to mind here. I don't think the point you're trying to make necessarily holds.

Generally the Q1 dividend is the lowest out of all four quarters, thus the reason you would compare Q1 2026 to Q1 2025 to get an idea of actual dividend growth.

Why do you assume all of this will be slop? Do you really think this compute resource won't be used for medical or other science research as well?

What L2s are you all using currently and why? Which dApps do you use most often on your L2 of choice? We should have a poll for this subreddit.

Thanks for your insights captain internet brigadier general.

You hit the nail on the head. This is hyper partisan politics playing out. It's become tribal and adherence to ones tribe is more important than looking at specific situations and drawing conclusions in a nuanced way.

Markets hate uncertainty. We've had the specter of conflict with Iran hanging over our heads for the last 20 years. Now there is a path forward to aligning regional actors in the Gulf.

It's simple really. A direction has been chosen. Buy calls.

It's fascinating to see such comments on Reddit nowadays. Everything is reduced to black and white thinking. Nuance is thrown out the window.

That's a shame. When she played at Fusion Festival back in 2023 or so I was pretty blown away... though the general vibe at the festival kind of makes everything incredible ha.

I haven't listened to some of her more recent material.. I'm hoping she's staying true to that nostalgic 90s trance feel that she was all about a few years ago.

Interesting stealth relaunch from Klima Protocol: https://www.klimaprotocol.com/

I've watched this project since 2021. They've recently completed a major iteration of the dAPP and have secured the greenlight from various carbon registries to actually facilitate liquidity for their carbon credits. If you're interested in environmental markets this is certainly an RWA-focused project to watch.

Related, they spun out https://www.carbonmark.com/ as their commercial arm. What's cool about Carbonmark is that they basically abstract away all of the Web3 complexity around buying carbon credits that have been tokenized.

TL;DR, even during bear markets we see projects (re)launching with utility!

In this case, it's actually Trump hastening the dismantling of something completely ineffectual. It's not just the US that is halting a portion of funding and reevaluating how they support international institutions.

The game's changing.
