    Meme stock mania may finally be over

    Lame write-up. Gamestop was a short squeeze. That's a limited time event. Perhaps some muppets were persuaded to hold forever, but fundamentally the market was too short of the stock and there was a legitimate profit potential there. IMO, collusion between Melvin, Citadel, DTCC and Robinhood...

    goldman sachs peasants

    Why would I even want the work product of someone working that many hours? We're not talking about digging holes, we're talking about thinking. They're going to be so fried from being up that many hours, that I would not trust their work. Maybe it's just for hazing purposes.

    What's your biggest position right now?

    To each their own. To me the P/E ratio is a giant red flag. The repurchase of stock was around 1.75x the fcf. The increase in debt is around 96% of the share repurchase amount. So it looks like the shares were bought with debt not earnings, IMO. That new debt seems to include convertible...

    how to start a conspiracy theory

    "I am a "conspiracy theorist". I believe men and women of wealth and power conspire. If you don't think so, then you are what is called "an idiot". If you believe stuff but fear the label, you are what is called "a coward"." -Dave Collum If you don't think the wealthy and powerful meet and...

    What's your biggest position right now?

    GPN at PE of 429.5? Seems like it could fall far, fast. Assets flat over the last couple years. Increasing debt, and decreasing number of shares outstanding. Maybe going into debt to support the share price? Negative tangible book value and P/B 1.19. You're not worried? Right now I would...

    Hard to believe: VA police pension, has 7% in crypto-related assets

    A few thoughts: 1) So they made 350%, but your viewpoint was that it wasn't "super speculative"? I'd hate to know what kind of return you expect for an actually risky investment. 2) Have they actually cashed out that 350%? I've noticed that crypto firms seem to have this propensity to not...

    Hard to believe: VA police pension, has 7% in crypto-related assets

    This kind of thinking is why crypto is doomed. OMG some people boughts stocks and lost money so everyone should put it all in Bitcoin! /sarc Serious people would have told you buying FANG stocks skews heavily towards risk. Seirous people would also be looking at Bitcoin's weaknesses and...

    Hard to believe: VA police pension, has 7% in crypto-related assets

    Anything that has been subject to the price movement that crypto has can fairly be described as super speculative. The only part of that phrase that could really be challenged is "instrument" given that owning crypto gives no rights to anything from anyone else. If you read the article it...

    INTC (Intel) has bottomed

    I probably should have mentioned... For myself, the time horizon is years. I don't know what it will do 2 months from now. Long term, people need things like FPGAs and processors and Intel is in a strong position to still be around 10 years from now.

    Hack me once, shame on you...

    But "don't keep your Bitcoin on an exchange, keep in cold storage". makes it safe! /sarc The whole crypto space is a clown show of get rich quick artists. There are reasons why people keep their money in banks. Of course part of me wonders if this is a tax fraud scheme. Claim you were hacked...

    FTX collapse was not a liquidity crisis

    Hahaha. I think you should go through that list and find out how many of those "conspiracy theories" turned out to be true. Or are you the kind of person who pretends Hunter's laptop was "Russian disinformation" and Ghislaine Maxwell some how committed sex trafficking offenses without having...

    Dot-com bust 2.0 is becoming a reality

    Buying Twitter was like Bezos buying the Washington Post. Do you think Bezos did that because he though newspapers were going to become an up and coming highily profitable business? It's not about turning a profit. It's about having a means to control or direct discourse in to country. Now...

    HAHAHAHAHA! What's the title of this thread again? Crypto businesses are dropping like files. Be we don't need any of those darn audits, transparency or regulation! /sarc It amazes how people think Bitcoin is going to replace everything and fix everything , but they haven't thought...

    FTX files chapter 11

    You need to read some on the history of the US before the federal reserve even existed. Spoiler alert, all those things were still happening. The notion that using Bitcoin on it's own will fix everything is delusional. This is what I mean when I say Bitcoin advocates are only playacting...
