        I would say I am fairly sure its some kind of afinancial crime to uh, short a company you have a material position in…

        But we live in ‘interesting times’, so… who knows!

        … Maybe he had an ‘interesting chat’ recently, with Michael Burry.

        That would be ‘funny’.

          I think it’s cute you believe that we live in a world where financial crimes are actually prosecuted.

            I remember Enron being prosecuted, we did at one point at least kind of pretend to give a shit.

            But uh… yeah…

    I hope your 401K is diversified because this will bring down a lot with its fall.

      I hope your 401K is diversified

      When the MAG7 makes up half the S&P 500, its hard to get away from. Even if you somehow manage to avoid holding a big tech company (or a company that’s predicated on the spending of a Big Tech company), a downturn will force cascading sell-offs.

      Does anyone 401k even let them choose what they want to invest in?

      I have like 4 plans I can choose: Retire 2035, Retire 2045, Retire 2055, Retire 2065 and that’s it.

      No options in the portal to do anything else. I can’t choose my stocks, any indexes, anything. The only other page is to change my contribution percent.

        I have a 403(b) because I work at a university but yes we get to pick between a ton of stock funds but also a handful of blended assets, an invested bond, and a non-invested bond if you really think shit’s gonna go south. My last job did not offer this kind of thing tho.

    Nvidia has near monopoly on semiconductors. Even if Nvidia stocks crash, they will recover. I just trimmed my own shares on Nvidia to cushion the blow.

      Even if Nvidia stocks crash, they will recover.

      NVIDIA is up 1500% in two years, with a p/e ratio of 56 in a market that’s absolutely ravenous for semiconductors. The idea that the demand for semiconductors can flatline as data center production stales and NVIDIA’s valuation will just rebound to its current high is… well, it’s highly speculative what NVIDIA is going to do, but I wouldn’t bank on the current status quo.

      If nothing else, it’s a stock that can safely be described as “overvalued”. Selling now isn’t a bad idea.

      Not really. TSMC has a near monopoly on the advanced fabrication, and ASML has a near monopoly on the lithographic machines TSMC uses. Nvidia is a fab-less designer. Google has its TPUs, and Amazon has some kind of custom chip too.

        I also invested in TSMC.

        ASML is way too expensive for my taste. I’ve been hoping they will do split stock so I could get in.

        line go up (but bad) From what I can tell, it looks like there are a lot of loans out right now, the rate at which they are issued has increased since the beginning of the Trump presidency has increased dramatically, and this is like really bad because If those loans don’t get paid back then pillars start collapsing underneath the financial system. Lose too many of those and the whole thing comes crashing down.

        This one graph doesn’t represent all of the bad that is going on, it’s just a sort of a weathervane to tell you which way the wind is blowing. …and right now it’s blowing where the sun don’t shine.

          You may ask what are NDFIs ?

          (NDFIs) such as broker-dealers, hedge funds, private equity and credit funds, securitization vehicles and subprime auto lenders. Such lending to the financial sector has helped fuel record-high leverage among hedge funds, decade-high leverage among primary dealers, record-high and rising margin debt, and record-high and rising repurchase agreement (repo) lending to hedge funds and others, which in turn has helped fuel record-high asset prices in many cases

      When we are in the middle of a tech bubble and one of the richest and most connected men on earth decides to cash out, then that is not “stonks crap”, but relevant tech news. Some companies stock price rising by 2% is not news, but this? Yes.

      The underlying story is the AI bubble that we all know will end badly. They are shoving lying and hallucinating AI on our devices and into our employment without consent. It’s going to come down, its a matter of when, not if.

        AI bubble that we all know will end badly.

        7 to 11X bigger than sub prime crash in 2008. NGL: watching Real Estate agents eating in soup kitchens was not a tragedy.

      It’s a lot better than the practise of posting basically every news story because it tangentially involves a computer.

      Yep.

      I read this and actually said aloud “Oh Dear God.”

      I mean, I’m a poor, I don’t have… a pension, investments, I’ll be lucky if my net worth ever exceeds the FDIC guaranteed $250k…

      But uh yeah, yeah, if you have any uh, exposure to the stock market… uh, good luck!

      Have fun realizing you were actually just barely less poor than me, this whole time.
