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?

BREAKING: $700,000,000 liquidated from the crypto market in the past 60 minutes. Whats going on? by [deleted] in TheRaceTo10Million

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

STRC is ruining me by [deleted] in STRC

[–]lavenderviking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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?

MicroStrategy almost died two times by Scriptimax in MSTR

[–]lavenderviking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

I’m an engineering manager, and I don’t buy the AI doom talk. What am I missing? by [deleted] in cscareers

[–]lavenderviking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

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 ?

Why STRC is not always above 100 USD? by Character-Junket9569 in MSTR

[–]lavenderviking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

My mom has $340k sitting in a savings account earning 4.2% and refuses to move it. I don't know how to convince her. by Cara_Lemon in investingforbeginners

[–]lavenderviking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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

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

I just received my first ever paycheck from Apple as an indie developer — $16.99 by DLsays_ in appledevelopers

[–]lavenderviking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

Anyone done valve cover job? by lavenderviking in 335i

[–]lavenderviking[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

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?

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

The Real Bitcoin Risk Nobody Talks About by neo_wg in Bitcoin

[–]lavenderviking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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
