USD is world's reserve currency. That is the main reason. Another reason is those countries have no economy not based on commodities. And most importantly those countries are run by dumbfucks. Venezuela thought they could force grocery stores to lower the price that Chavez wanted well the...

I think it's a lot harder to make the judgement that its a bubble from non traders' actions. Like when Joseph Kennedy famously got out of the market when the shoeshine boy was talking about stocks. My memory of 1996-2000 was that a lot of people got information via the internet message boards...

Good point. There is going have to be a return on all these investments. If it doesn't happen it will indeed collapse. My guess is that it will be like the build out of fiber in the late 1990s. Everyone knew it was the future but it was too far in the future to use at the time. I worked at a...

And yet it's up another 3+%. Another day of $100B in market cap gains. One day the doomsayers will be correct but not today.

You're correct. My mistake. I always get them mixed up.

Crazy stuff. I know the degenerates at r/WSB call him the head reg(t)ard. He is the leader in Loss Porn over there.

Just what this forum needs, yet another nVidia thread. We only have about 30 others. Looks like there is a rule that we have to get at least 1 or 2 new threads about nVidia.

It seems most people on this forum seem to believe the USD is collapsing yet it only goes higher against all the global currencies. I'll repeat it yet again, unless there is a currency that can soak up all of the USD liquidity & are willing to float it on the global markets with NO currency...

Because markets are up 70-75% of the time. The psychology of buying is different the psychology of selling. Even Chanos threw in the towel on his short selling fund. He knows its a waste of time shorting against a wall of money pouring in. The only guy left who seems to still be good at short...

Is IB going to create a TWS version to run on Apple Silicon? Looks like IBKR Desktop does have an Apple Silicon version.

Found the Dell support page to upgrade your Precision 7820 to TPM 2.0: https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000132583/dell-systems-that-can-upgrade-from-tpm-version-1-2-to-2-0 Looks like the 7820 is on the list: Precision Tower 7810/7810XL * Precision Tower 7820/7820XL * Precision Tower...

Looks like TPM is likely your problem. I found this on a google search: TPMs are efficient alternatives to older methods of securing Windows PCs. In fact, since July 2016 Microsoft has actually required TPM 2.0 support on all new PCs that run any version of Windows 10 for desktop (Home, Pro...

It seems that since the SVB collapse both the KRE & IWM are broken. In the 3 months prior to the SVB collapse IWM was making a good run at breaking its 2021 high but since then it has been a dog with fleas. Its a great trading vehicle especially to the downside. Its also extremely volatile...

In the end the government will seize all crytocurrencies. They will use the military and seize all your assets until you comply. Do you know what the benevolent FDR did to people who had Gold in the 1930s or did to Japanese-Americans? This is FDR who the modern liberals all fawn over yet claim...

I remember in 2008 when the startup I worked at part time was sold to Warburg Pincus I made like $250K pre-tax and it was a nightmare to try and figure out exactly how much I owed. I even hired a tax accountant that specialized in equity sales and he even got it wrong on CA state tax. He thought...

This market does feel like the post IPO Netscape market which led to everyone & their mother becoming a dot com company, however on a macroeconomic level it feels more like the early 1920s or post WWII economy. Both of those were fueled by bad times being over and led by a labor shortage that...

Where I live in Alameda County you need a permit to replace a window in your dwelling. There are homes in Berkeley that are designated "historical" near the campus where you can't replace or change anything without permits that take years to approve. There is no comparison to Florida or Texas...

The cruise ship & hotels got smacked today so that could mean the beginning of less hiring in he travel & leisure sectors. Or it could be a nervous market reaction to a molehill. Reminds me of the market reaction to Oil stocks or housing stocks. The slightest problem and the nervous nelllies...

Cisco was selling expensive optical Gigabit switches which in retrospect were just glorified Hubs that Cisco & 3Com sold. nVidia's tech is a lot more complex & more difficult to duplicate. That is the main difference. I mean AMD's Radeon division still hasn't caught up with the RTX graphics...

Wow now Schwab can't even get the end of the day balances correct. Man this is a mickey mouse outfit. TDA was 10X better than Schwab. Is Fidelity any good? I'm think about moving somewhere else. Schwab is not good.
