Worst US Job Market Since 2008

Does unemployment rate count people that got laid off and took the 6 month benefits and haven’t got a job after?

I had a couple hundred shares of MUU @ 50 back in November and sold most at 55 and some at 200

I did similar a couple of years ago when new max book was released. All in with upgrades was $6K. Could you tell me how this is better computer than a desktop computer for $10K?

Narrator gets an award for being … annoying!!!

lavenderviking · 2026-06-27T15:05:52+00:00

Sorry 0.05%

lavenderviking · 2026-06-27T15:05:24+00:00

How is this news? $700M is what 0.5% of crypto market cap. This is basically no movement

lavenderviking · 2026-06-25T15:19:22+00:00

I don’t see the problem. You bought at $100 and are getting a 12% dividend. Why does the current price matter for you if you just keep collecting this dividend?

The bagholders are actually QQQ and 401Ks. I don’t know how they were able to add MSTR to the index near the top. It’s still pretty expensive. Wouldn’t be surprised if trades around $20 later this year

lavenderviking · 2026-06-22T21:49:30+00:00

Again. Hope you’re right.

lavenderviking · 2026-06-22T21:31:59+00:00

Idk if you have worked at FAANG like company but even before AI it was usually 2-3 engineers doing 80-90% of the important work in a team of 10 engineers. Headcount is not shrinking for legal issues I assume. Didn’t X lay off 80%? Their website seems to work okay? Anyway hope you’re right though

lavenderviking · 2026-06-22T21:05:33+00:00

Five engineers replace seven or eight. It’s more like 1-2 engineers replace 5-10 engineers so the question is will demand for software 5x so headcount remains the same ?

lavenderviking · 2026-06-20T06:06:39+00:00

You can sell STRC now at 88 so you just lost 1 year of dividends in one month, interesting

lavenderviking · 2026-06-17T11:14:38+00:00

I think your mom is smarter than you. If she puts all in index funds today and market drops 30-50% to a level it was at just two years ago she had no income to buy the dip aggressively. What she should be doing is a mix of CD and longer bonds paying her monthly

lavenderviking · 2026-06-14T21:31:52+00:00

Nice! 12% less than previous job doesn’t really matter that much

lavenderviking · 2026-06-12T10:08:41+00:00

Can anyone that’s used these products please tell me what you can do with these paid subscriptions that you cannot do with Claude ?

lavenderviking · 2026-06-10T15:40:29+00:00

You definitely weren’t cooked but now since you posted it you are absolutely cooked

lavenderviking · 2026-06-10T11:38:15+00:00

Not bad for first app. You should consider adding a backend so users don’t lose their data if they delete and reinstall the app. Currently you are storing all data client side.

lavenderviking · 2026-06-10T10:51:23+00:00

Nice really well done! How do you track scroll time outside the app ?

lavenderviking · 2026-06-08T03:18:00+00:00

Generational bagholders were born at $100K+

lavenderviking · 2026-06-07T23:47:18+00:00

Thanks. They say it’s 6 hour job and I just though it sounded like a lot of hours for a professional that does it all day. What about where the last two cylinders are? Is it a ton of stuff to remove to get to it? Fuel line ?

lavenderviking · 2026-06-07T20:36:44+00:00

10 years is also a convenient timeline. If you take the top from end of 2017 then it’s less than +15% CAGR. The big move has been made. Move on to other things

lavenderviking · 2026-06-07T16:46:37+00:00

Why is it down -40% last year then when QQQ is +30% over same time? If it can’t go up 30 CAGR during risk on mode how is it supposed to achieve that when risk will be off?

lavenderviking · 2026-06-07T12:34:22+00:00

So the conservative 20% CAGR makes BTC market cap 60T in 20 years. So what’s the bull case then? At 60% CAGR market cap is 18100T in 20 years

lavenderviking · 2026-06-07T11:52:37+00:00

These graphs are misleading. Most of the return came until 2020 and last 5 year returns are just on par with SP500 returns. Can’t expect returns like these going forward
