I dumped all of my risky stocks prior to the SpaceX IPO and reallocated my 401k to bonds. Im about 90% bonds at the moment.

On my active trading account I’m in bonds funds like BIL and SGOV and dividend funds like SCHD. I have some individual stocks in relatively safe industries that should bounce back.

You can never predict the future but it feels like a lot of headwinds on a market who’s gains are concentrated in only handful of companies. I’m ok with sitting out for 12 months or until there is some clarity in the market. I have a major renovation going on right now so spending my cash on property improvements is ok with me.

Every Republican accusation, is an admission.

Musks old tricks aren’t working like they used to and the walls are closing in on him for Tesla.

The latest Roadster demo is a sign that he’s relying more and more on theatrics to sell cars. Ten years ago you could kind of buy that he would have full autonomous driving at some point. Other car companies are far more advanced than him and the Chinese’s are eating his lunch on electric vehicles and beating him in every market but the US.

He pivoted Tesla to robotics and self driving taxis but other companies are ahead of him there as well and he knows it.

He doesn’t have any tech to set Tesla apart and justify its grossly overpriced stock.

He wants to roll it under Space X to ride the only two advantages he has left Starlink and Rockets.

He knows the US government under any administration won’t let either of those two go belly up and wants to link them with his other failed or failing companies.

The only way left is Evolution not Revolution. The people are outgunned, out-teched, and frankly too self-centered to care.

:Looks at Amazon, Meta, Google, Apple, Open AI, Anthropic CEO’s regularly meeting with the president and participating in official state functions… :

You sure about that tech advantage?

No, the “vote by their feelings” people left long ago. These are the hardcore mother fuckers left supporting Republicans and MAGA.

These are the low IQ, racists, the facists, authoritarians. Some just simply won’t vote for any other party besides Republicans.

These are the people who would have still supported Hitler in the hours before he put his gun in his mouth.

These people won’t stop even when Trump is gone. They will deny, rebrand and come back again supporting the same shitty agenda.

Cool, just an FYI when I got perma banned from Reddit a few years ago I was able to go back into my past posts and change them.

I generated some AI gibberish slop and posted it in all of my past posts just so they couldn’t benefit from my past participation.

If your still able to do so I highly recommend poisoning your content.

She rode the MAGA wave into office. She knows how to get attention, talk to her base and manage social media. She like all other Republicans towed the line and voted the way they were told to vote.

She was safe, rich, famous and happy. She didn’t see anything wrong with her votes.

When she finally realized that Trump was evil did she try to change or fight the system. No she retired and times it to earn life long healthcare and retirement benefits. Just like all of these Republicans “who have seen the light” and now oppose Trump.

They didn’t do so when they had the power or when their vote mattered. Because there would have been consequences. They all just skulked off into the background.

They will all likely come crawling back when the political winds shift and Trump is gone.

When the AI bubble pops it’s going to take down the banks.

There is a lot of private credit dollars loaned to data centers and the banks are heavily invested in private credit.

It’s a house of cards priced for perfection just waiting for one of the big 5 to have a slightly off quarter.

I mean it’s Meta, anyone who doesn’t know they already have a dossier on you, has been living in a box for the last 15 years.

Good lord people leave OP alone. He’s at least posting decent appropriate content on a subgroup that needs it.

Many of us on Lemmy DON’T browse Reddit anymore and don’t mind seeing these “reposts”.

In my opinion the following:

1. Minority of very vocal users who get angry if you don’t share every point of their world view. Honestly you can just block most of them.
2. Limited active subgroups - There are only a handful of active subs the rest are just dead. Which leads to…
3. Limited content, posts stay in my feed for a week at a time before being replaced. I often block posts I like just because I’m sick of seeing it in my feed.
4. Shitty moderation - mods here are way worse than Reddit.

I’ll be honest I miss old Reddit, Lemmy feels like an apocalyptic wasteland but it’s still better than most alternative. It’s kind of nice I don’t sit and consume content as much as I used to.

They already have. Public Banks are huge investors in the private credit companies that underpin a good amount of the AI bubble.

The Magnificent 7 have been driving the stock markets gains for the last few years. They have also created independent companies to build out the data centers. The debt for these companies is off their books and funded primarily by private credit markets and is underpinned by contracts with the big 7 for data processing once the data center is built.

Projections by the Mag 7 have driven their share increase. So what happens if one or two of the magnificent 7 miss their projections? Well look at Oracle, its stock is tanking because it missed projections.

If the Mag. 7 stock tanks so will your 401ks. When their stock is worth less they will stop plowing money into AI. Suddenly all of the companies with contracts to build the data centers will loose their source of revenue. No revenue and they can’t pay off the loans to private credit. Private credit companies will start to go under and begin to take down the public banking companies that invested in them…

Its a house of cards ready to fall if any of the Mag 7 start to flounder.

Kids who want happy meals drag their parents there. However once they hit 5th grade the allure of the happy meal fades and they usually don’t come back.

Yes, by shoveling investor cash into the generators powering their data centers.

It is part of the grift. Anthropic and OpenAI want to go public and a huge part of their cash burn is compute expense for training new models. (In public filings they claim they are profitable … if you look at their numbers that’s only if you remove their biggest expense which is model training) At the same time they are seeing fewer gains with new frontier models. Some are also claiming the new models aren’t as good as the ones from a year ago and you are loosing your market advantage with frontier models?

What do you do if your largest expense is generating fewer gains and you want to go public? Get the government to regulate it and build a regulatory mote around your industry and freeze your advantage over your competitors while you have it. Cut that expense and go public as a profitable company!

At this point I only want to see regulations well after the AI bubble pops. Don’t take any government stakes in these AI companies as Bernie has argued for (I agree with his stances on most economic matters but he’s off base with this). Let these AI companies burn in the free market they advocate for soo much.

Normally my knee jerk reaction would be against this. But if it helps to drive McDonalds to lose customers in the long run, well…🤔

Hey guys who let the foreigner on our web platforms again?? Now I’m gonna have to fumigate the whole place again.

You can’t have a two party system and a functioning government when one parties parties core ethos is that government doesn’t work and a election isn’t valid if they don’t win.

The only way this ends is in violence.

What is sad is that Trump is an open book. We’ve seen all this happen before.

I’d like to throw Libertarians in that same cess pool.

90% of them don’t know what Libertarian means, besides no taxes or regulations they don’t share any of the beliefs around personal liberty. They looove jack booted facist shit aimed at the left and minorities all in the name of law and order.

They will hide behind it as a defense mechanism to side step any accountability for their voting record now that the Republican brand is completely fucked.

“Ohh I voted for him but Trump doesn’t represent my beliefs, I’m a libertarian.”

You are going to see a lot of hard core Republicans claiming to be something else as Trumps approval rating sinks further below 30%.

I never once mentioned “airport” in my post.

You may want to better educate yourself on this subject before responding.
