My dad had a blue early 90’s Chevy Z71 4x4 V8. That thing was badass and is still working on my cousins farm.

I got into it coming on an on ramp on 285 in ATL and almost rammed the guy in front of me it jumped so fast.

I’ve never bought an extended warranty but I’ve driven Japanese cars since I was 16.

I recently got a F150 so yeah…I bought one. Went to one of those online Ford dealers that sells them online to get me 6 years or $100k miles.

I think we just need to get comfortable at $3.50 to $4.50 until the meeting. Aomething may pop before then but I’m fully prepared to sit through 2027 unless something bad happens.

This is a long play…longer than expected…

I’m full up on NBIS and Oust and HGRAF. Did buy some TSM and IREN yesterday though.

Default on that and it’s financial Armageddon.

Eliminate fraud and abuse across all programs. If they can figure out I underpaid taxes…they sure as hell can do this.

Freeze non mandatory spending. They get plenty of fricking money. Make them figure it out.

The situation corrects itself in 5 years.

The government gets enough tax revenue to cover the total pre COVID budget right now. I don’t remember them being too lean to operate in 2020 so that should be enough.

So is there any reasonable explanation as to how he got God tier powers?

Thor bested Thanos with the Infinity Gauntlet right before the snap but Doom can stop his ax with 2 fingers?

I know they need to sell the threat but c’mon.

They all do this. Fauci is just getting attention because he’s was involved with something that wrecked the whole damn world.

Everyone involved with funding the gain of function research at the Wuhan lab should be tried for crimes against humanity.

It’s become 20% of my portfolio so I’ve been slipping in and rolling hedges at higher strikes since the 35% day. It’s muted my gains from there somewhat but I’ve also locked in to big climb. Been interesting to see how the stock and hedge interact.

May end up screwing myself but today I got about 60% of the total gains. My acct is again near an ATH so I’m playing with ideas to protect that do not involve selling.

There is no reason for tax dollars to go to any of these groups unless there is a specific benefit to the US. Especially when we have a $2T deficit and plenty of internal needs that should take priority.

I’m tired of being the ATM for the world.

I still think there are hurdles to overcome

Still negative EPS
Can the revenue outpace capex and overhead for the continuing buildout.

That said, I do think AI will reach bubble status but we’re not there yet. We’re investing in the companies that create the AI framework. The companies that form or exist to use that framework for their business will be the next leg. The companies that built the internet were different from Pets.com.

I see NBIS as a mix of picks and shovels, compute for hyperscalers and a solution for enterprise AI. Nice combo.
