$Snowflake(SNOW)$ The high reputation is based on Slotman's track record. He has done well in this environment, increased his customer base, paid a stock dividend to retain quality employees, made money and certainly needs high numbers in this market. However, I have faith in the future of the company and will probably drop the average soon. There are too many big investors investing in this man. The $80 price people are talking about is if these big investors abandon ship. I don't think that will happen. If management is trusted, people like Warren Buffett will increase their positions. In a very short time, we will know. It is a very good company and so far it has not fallen due to growth. And there are still a lot

$Sea Ltd(SE)$  Many people are being deprived of their hard earned money by analysts who like to take the 'long view'. For me, Sea Limited is an emerging market play and I think it should do well in the next few years. They seem to be more focused on profitability than Amazon. For those of you buying now at today's prices, buy a little more when the market pulls back. Be patient and see how this stock should really mature to its valuation in 2025.BTW, the bankers expect the company to post a final loss in 2024 and then make a profit of $1.1 billion in 2025.

$First Republic Bank(FRC)$ They are talking about bond holders being wiped out and you think Prefs are safe?Never go too much against Mr. market.

Alexa doesn't even qualify for "artificial stupid" much less AI. It has actually become increasingly annoying to the point that I am thinking of getting rid of my devices.$Microsoft(MSFT)$

$Bank of America(BAC)$ First of all, anyone who sells derivatives to hedge against interest rate rises gets a premium for it, just like a homeowner insurance policy requires a premium paid to the insurance company, regardless if any claims are ever made. So the profitability of an insurance company depends on whether they correctly priced the cost of that insurance to those who purchased it. So any losses are at least partially offset by the amount charged for the insurance. Even if BAC has 30% of the interest rate derivatives market, doesn't necessarily mean that they have a big exposure to rate hikes, unless you think they were swimming naked on those derivatives.

$Faraday Future(FFIE)$ I'll grant some people that - it's one of the worst companies from an investment perspective. They got $1 billion from investors and it's a guess as to how much of that money is still there. After reading some information, I think the company probably has no value and the stock should be sold at any price. That's just my opinion. Do your own research and investigation.

$Coinbase Global, Inc.(COIN)$ I've been a CoinBase customer for 4 years but this is my first time posting. One thing that the crypto community is known for by outsiders is that there is a "cult-like" following for many crypto leaders/companies. For example before their downfall, everybody worshipped Do Kwon, the founders of Celsius and FTX. I don't see that in CoinBase especially in this app. The atmosphere in here seems pretty calm and the mods are not Nazis in some of the other crypto forum. Am I wrong? I'm not trying to start a fight or anything. This is what I've been noticing.

Warren Buffett famously said: "Be fearful when others are greedy, and be greedy when others are fearful."I think this sentence is easy to say, but it is not easy to do.I think we should prepare for the worst before we start investing, so that we can face losses calmly. When losses occur, we may lose our footing, so good risk management is very important. My account losses continue to expand, what should I do?Whether it is a bear market or a bull market, there is a lot of noise in the market, and we should try to avoid over-reliance on this information.Use some rational thinking methods, such as fundamental analysis of stocks and analysis of technical indicators to choose stocks.

IV, or Implied Volatility, is a critical parameter in option pricing models, representing the market's expectation of future volatility in the underlying asset. Unlike historical price data, IV is inferred from option market prices. Therefore, IV reflects current market conditions and participants' expectations, providing valuable insights into market volatility.High IV indicates a market expectation of significant future price fluctuations, implying higher risk and uncertainty, while low IV suggests a market expectation of smaller price fluctuations, indicating relative stability.
