Oh thanks! I didn't even see the notification. Side note: I saw a post gassing up the Trump payout to US citizens because of the tariffs collected. But how is that even a viable strategy. Inflicting extreme pain on your own people, then giving them peanuts to tell them you did a great job, all while people stuggle to survive with the cost of living issues... It's literally like your left hand slapping your own face, then the right hand caressing the swollen cheek, it really doesn't help. JUST STOP HITTING YOURSELF. All the twisted logic of "teething pain" for the greater good is just a bizarre lie...
$Broadcom(AVGO)$ I think Broadcom could be a play considering their dip, but as usual I'll wait for it to start swinging back up before buying in, do your own due diligence though!

My stock in focus today is $Micron Technology(MU)$ , following its newly released earnings that significantly exceeded expectations and highlighted its strong positioning in the AI-driven semiconductor cycle. Management’s forward guidance stood out, with profit and revenue forecasts far above Street estimates. The key catalyst remains AI-related demand, especially from data centers. As one of only a few global suppliers of high-bandwidth memory (HBM), Micron is benefiting from tight supply, stronger pricing, and improving margins. AI demand is not only boosting volumes but also enhancing profitability across its broader product portfolio. On the strategy front, Micron’s shift toward AI-focused capacity and exit from lower-margin consumer channels
Trump Drops Bombshell: 2026 Tax Refunds Set to Shatter Records – Your $2,000 Windfall Incoming! 💥💸
Get ready for a historic payday, folks! President Trump just declared that 2026 is gearing up to be the biggest tax refund season America has ever seen, thanks to the massive trillions pouring in from tariffs. 😲 Imagine families across the nation cashing in on extra $1,000 to $2,000 per household – that's real relief hitting wallets when it counts, covering everything from groceries to gas bills in this high-cost world. The White House press secretary echoed the excitement, calling it a projected record-breaker that puts money back where it belongs: with hardworking Americans. This isn't just talk; it's tied to the booming tariff revenues Trump's team has raked in, creating a surplus so enormous it's sparking dreams of slashing taxes even further. Picture this – dividends straight from tra
With volatility spiking, I’m eyeing Nvidia (NVDA) for a defined-risk play this week. The stock has pulled back toward its 20-day moving average, offering a technical support zone while institutional flows remain strong in semiconductors. My idea is a short-term bull call spread, buying the 560 strike and selling the 580 strike expiring this Friday, keeping risk capped while positioning for a rebound if momentum resumes. The risk/reward is favorable: limited downside exposure with potential to capture a quick move higher as traders rotate back into growth names amid market swings.
BoJ Rate Hike Nightmare Looms: Bitcoin's Next 25% Crash Locked In? 😱📉
Japan's central bank is on the verge of dropping another bombshell, with Polymarket odds skyrocketing to 98.5% for a 25 bps hike to 0.75% on December 19 – the highest rate since 1995 and a move that's already sending chills through crypto markets. This isn't just talk; it's a pattern that's wrecked Bitcoin every time this cycle. Back in July 2024, the BoJ's jump to 0.25% triggered a brutal 25% BTC plunge, wiping billions in a flash. Then January 2025's hike to 0.5% hammered another 30% drop, turning bulls into bears overnight. Now, with the decision hours away, that blue line on the chart climbing to near-certainty spells trouble for risk assets everywhere. 🌪️💥 The no-change camp clings to a measly 1.3%, down from earlier highs, while a 50+ bps super-hike sits at 0.3% and rate decreases ar
The Fall. Unsure if you have noticed but $SoFi Technologies Inc.(SOFI)$ has recently taken a beating. It happened around Fri, 5 Dec 2025. The fall was a direct reaction to the company’s announcement on Thu, 4 Dec 2025 (after market closed) that it planned to sell $1.5 billion in new common stock (an equity raise). Shares dipped over -6% immediately in after-hours trading. When trading resumed on Friday, it opened approx. -7.3% lower, due to shareholder dilution. (see below) This is because the new shares were priced at a discount of about -7% (at $27.50 per share) compared to prior day's close of $29.60 per share. From 05 Dec 2025 to 17 Dec 2025, SoFI has fallen by -9.04% (-$2.51) to $25.27 per share. The Action. Many were stumped by SoFi’s Manage

Wall Street wrapped a rough session with the S&P 500 dipping 0.5% to 6,859 and Nasdaq sliding 0.8% to 19,340 as AI funding jitters hammered big names.

Why Americans Encourage the Netflix–Warner Bros. Combination — And How Netflix Can Earn More without Hurting Consumers Americans’ strong support for a potential Netflix–Warner Bros. combination reflects more than just enthusiasm for popular shows and movies. It signals a deeper shift in how consumers think about streaming, competition, pricing, and value. According to the survey results, support for the deal approaches a 3-to-1 margin, with majorities believing it would improve variety, convenience, and quality.

Can CoreWeave, Nebius, and IREN Win If Oracle Slows Its AI Buildout? On Dec. 17, the Financial Times reported that Blue Owl's talks with lenders and Oracle to fund a planned 1GW Michigan data center for OpenAI have stalled, derailing a deal that could have included up to $10B of financing plus a large equity investment. The financing disruption spotlights rising strain in Oracle's AI-infrastructure funding. Why neoclouds get punished first That headline lands on a market that has already turned suspicious of “AI infrastructure at any price.” In that context, neoclouds are getting hit for one simple reason: AI demand isn't the only variable anymore. The market is now pricing the cost and certainty of delivering that demand—construction timelines, financing terms, counterparty risk, and the
