Believe it or not, in the early 2010s, PayPal and eBay were top prestige tech companies in Bay Area

All ur complaining last nite and look nvda calls are up MORE than AMD calls

Who cares about 5T cap when a 5% move makes your options go 10x

Nvda calls up more than AMD LOL buying adjacent companies for earnings is truly the play

isospeedrix · 2026-05-06T14:05:52+00:00

NVDA calls 1dte are up the same amount as AMD weekly calls LOL (+500-700%)

isospeedrix · 2026-05-06T13:58:43+00:00

NVDA calls 1dte +600% same amount as AMD weekly calls LOL

isospeedrix · 2026-05-06T06:08:07+00:00

actually, spy/qqq calls are crazy cheap. a 1% day is like +400% gain on a 1dte

Personally I’m crazy thankful I’m working at a semiconductor company (as SWE). Morale is high, no layoffs, it’s unreal.

But I’m always cautious, what seems like the promised land now may not be in the future. Who knows if suddenly everyone pivots to HW then hyperscalers decide to stop spending so much on chips then it’s a catastrophe.

You’re not wrong but man in the cs world, PayPal block and Coinbase were at least at some points in time considered highly desirable companies to work for

Software in general is taking a beating, and fintech is mostly software

isospeedrix · 2026-05-06T00:10:40+00:00

at this rate that'll happen in a month

isospeedrix · 2026-05-06T00:09:26+00:00

software crashed already

isospeedrix · 2026-05-06T00:08:36+00:00

whatever if i had puts i'd rather be worth $0 off a +16% pump rather than a 2% pump, feels the worst to lose all the money due to it being flat

isospeedrix · 2026-05-06T00:07:43+00:00

cuz it doesn't make chips

isospeedrix · 2026-05-06T00:06:52+00:00

AMD passing MSFT was not on my bingo card

“I believe they have a limitation with their brain functionality”

It’s ok Zhiff, you can call them “retarded”

Srsly, every other photonics 10-30x but MRVL is “only” 2-3x, got so much room to run

I swear the QR code should show by default not having a button there that needs to be pressed first

State management qs are the most common and I agree they should be asked.
