If you search $GME on Twitter by latest, you are flooded with an extraordinary amount of bots and spam. If you add min fave 5, you are still flooded with bots.
If you look on any finance site, there is ZERO mention of the warrant dividend, but if you look at towel stock there are plenty of news articles and headlines as it should be reported since it's company news.
Then you have open house stock claiming to be the next GameStop.
Then today you have open house pumper posting a pic with towel CEO. With their grifting powers combined, they form Captain Shitnet.
They are trying everything under the sun to divert any possible attention GameStop could have. It's all they got left. GameStops success is inevitable though so FAFO.

I guess I’m too smooth. But I do know it’s absurd to think ZERO people will sell their warrants and 100% will exercise.

"Well well well, Mr. McCabe. You finally turned in your final quarterly report - eighteen months late I might add - and what's this? Crayon scribbles? Number of barrels of oil extracted still ZERO? Asking for additional time as well? Sir, I have taught at this institution since before you were a twinkle in the milkman's eye and I will state without fear of contradiction this is the sorriest excuse for a quarterly report I've ever seen. Call yourself a businessman, sir? Not on my watch, McCabe. Not on my watch!"

Just throw all the tea or whatever is over there now into the harbor. It'll pan out in a few hundred years. Worked for us 😂.
We pay ZERO taxes in the USA on any investments held longer than a year under about $60,000 income. That's including the standard deduction everyone gets on taxes. Some states tax a little but we can just move to the ones that don't.

Bruh if you had started from ZERO and contributed $200 per month for the last 5 years, you'd be at $16,000 today. But other than that, congrats :)

**ZERO RISK MARKET**
**ALL IN**

Difference between Palantir and Nvidia besides the obvious is that Palantir has ZERO competition. They essentially own A.I software. Nvidia is still leading in a big way but competition is gaining momentum.

I am beyond furious right now.
I’m a Revolut Metal user in the UK. Yesterday I got my salary paid into Revolut. 20 minutes later I transferred £500 to Kazakhstan to pay back a debt. Suddenly I get a message that my account is restricted/blocked. No reason given. Just “we can’t tell you why.”
Now all my money is locked. I can’t pay rent, I can’t even buy food. Support is useless – I keep getting copy-paste “our compliance team is reviewing your account” with ZERO timeframe. I’ve paid for Metal “priority support” and guess what? It’s the same nonsense. They’re basically holding my salary hostage and I can’t do a damn thing about it.
It’s my salary, not drug money. I did not gamble or work with crypto. How is this even legal? How can a bank/fintech just freeze someone’s money without explanation, without notice, and leave you stranded? I literally have nothing right now because of them. Has anyone else been through this? How long did it take to get your account back? Did you ever actually get your money? Is there ANY way to force these clowns to move faster? Revolut support is a black hole and I’m starting to think I’ll never see my money again. Absolutely disgusting.

Alrighty, word is in, and the US government has officially shutdown!
As I mentioned previously, we're in for some major catalysts, and the majority of them are weighted significantly more to the downside, however as can be seen, the S&P continues its climb upwards; and could continue to do so for the very near future until reality kicks in.
This does not mean the market will crash, bubbles popping and so on, no, even though that's the current rhetoric we're constantly fed, and it could still be a reality where there is a crash indeed. Yet to me, not so much so, at least not now.
Alarm bells are high and loud and as mentioned many times over, the time to position yourself on the defensive is now; the risks are increasing by the minute, by the day, and we've yet to achieve balance.
**Equities**
In my previous posts, I mentioned the S&P could still have some juice in the tank, and its evident by it constantly hitting all-time-highs over and over, but do not for a second think its all good and dandy, it isn't. Again, be defensive, be overly defensive!
The scales and their weights are shifting too often and this instability is only going to increase the odds of making decisions that are skewed to the downside. Various sectors have rallied, various sectors have not, and those that have, will they continue to rally? Those that haven't, will they continue to not?
So many questions, but where on earth are the answers and how do we find them? A never-ending cycle.
**Government shutdown**
The only thing I focus on, is the repercussions of this. Easier said than done, but its critical you align yourself with a hypothesis, an approach, a game-plan or whatever you want to call it, and I'm aligned to the defensive and have been for many weeks/months.
Your "expectations of whats going to happen" is a critical component within your overall "equation" that requires an "input". If you place an input, then your moving forward with your equation and whatever results it gives (positive or negative); alternatively, if you do not have any inputs, then the best decision would be to sideline yourself for the foreseeable future, in other words, go into a cash-state and have a wait-and-see approach, especially given how resilient the S&P has been this year, record after record after record, can this continue?
**Your hypothesis**
Aligning yourself with a "hypothesis" allows you the ability to position your portfolio in advance of any potential swings in the market, and thus maximize odds in your favor, but again, a wrong alignment, a wrong hypothesis, could be extremely detrimental to your portfolio, and crawling out of that ditch could take months, years, if at all.
*An example of which is my own portfolio:*
When I started out in 2020, and after 2 years come 2022, my entire portfolio was down more than -40%. Yes, negative 40%; and since then have clawed my way out of that hole:
* **2020-2022** (-40% total portfolio)
* **2022** \- +6% realized total portfolio
* **2023** \- +15% realized total portfolio
* **2024** \- +14% realized total portfolio
* **2025** \- +20% realized total portfolio YTD
Imagine after all those years of realized gains, only now, literally 2 months ago, did I hit the +0% total portfolio; to a now approx.+8% total portfolio since 2020; had I put in all in the S&P in 2020, I'd be up significantly higher.
Now the question is, can I make up for all that lost time by 2030 and actually beat the S&P in total by 2020-2030? To me, that is the only reason to be an active trader, to beat the S&P over multiple years, consecutively, consistently; otherwise, dump everything into the S&P and relax for 20 years. But my mission is to relax in 10.
5 have passed by (2020-2025), 5 more to go (2025-2030).
Easier said than done, my current trajectory/trend is on point, but can it be continuously maintained? Questions unanswered for now, but we'll go about it one day, one trade at a time.
**Cryptospace**
Remember we discussed our "hypothesis", maybe not the right term, but a term that just makes quick sense, so lets stick to it. My hypothesis for crypto, is a prolonged decline in the very short term, even though so many mention its in the "best phase of the year" etc (which it could very well be, I could be 100% wrong indeed) hence why I don't own any crypto whatsoever and never will due to its risk profile, I'd rather buy a small cap that's ultra speculative and take my chances there than purchase crypto, but hey, that's just me. You do you.
To me, those investors will reposition their crypto, this in turn brings in, in its simplest form, liquidity, and lots of it. And where will this liquidity go?
To me, equities and treasuries; but not only that, I am in the zone that such liquidity will be installed in a "defensive fashion", in other words, will be used to "protect" ones portfolio where investors will take defensive positions and this is another reason why I am positioned to the highly-defensive side, with expectations that my current positions will be those that are appealing in such moves.
Since I dont own any crypto, means the "crypto-weight" within my equation is ZERO. But that does not mean there are no repercussions to my equation, on the contrary, any and all catalysts in the market have some bearing within your equation as its all intertwined. The only difference here is how MUCH of a bearing it could have.
Rather than own crypto, I own an ETF that mimics my hypothesis on crypto; a small position comparatively speaking thus of very low weight, yet one I initiated to back up my own hypothesis. I want to ensure I "feel" my hypothesis, regardless of which way crypto could go, especially a hypothesis I hold strongly. It provides a critical learning component and the aim is to further fine-tune the equation based on results.
There are no assurances, there are no guarantees, and there never will be. I could be 100% wrong in every possible way, time will tell, and we don't have to wait long to find out!
Thanks for reading this far, all the best and on we go!

What are the odds.
I mean, its clear who has the real leverage here. Its like setting demands at the bottom of the line. If you dont like it buy somewhere else, oh wait there is nowhere to go. IFS does not and will not have the capacities nor reliability to play this out any time soon. Trumps threats are empty and TSMC knows that. Everything they add on tariffs will just be added to ASPs 1:1 to american consumers.
And we saw how that worked out with chinese tariffs (especially electronical stuff), were a lot of stuff is still excluded or drastically lowered tariff wise.
Trump has ZERO leverage here on this matter.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Somewhat self explanatory title. I have 3 options through employer:
* Target Date Fund
* Select from an odd pre-set list of funds, as far as I can tell mostly mutual and/or Fidelity "ZERO" funds
* Completely DIY using BrokerageLink, which I would set to my current preferred balance of 30 VTI 30 VOO 15 VXUS 15 VWO 10 BND
So all that being said,
* Should I just stick with TDF if I'm going with a pretty standard ratio otherwise?
* If I go DIY, does BrokerageLink cost something? Why is it a separate feature?
* In general, thoughts on my ratio? I have that setup in my standard account, roth IRA, and rollover IRA.

And just like that the minidip is bought 😂 ZERO risk market!!!

VUSXX for me most likely - I wouldn’t “invest” anything I need in a year or two, would just find where I can get the highest return with ZERO (or as close as it gets) risk.
If you live in a state with an income tax, some government treasury fund will keep you from paying state income tax on the interest.

It would be stupid for the US to move ZERO of their chip dependence to the US and then have China attack.

This was posted in a FB group I joined by the Admin of the group: $36 Libertads, he claimed to have 300 available. I thought about buying, but something about all the posts he had in that group with ZERO likes, and they were all under spot by about $10. 100 ozt Engelhard bars for $360, ASEs in rolls of 20 for $700... It was just weird to me.
BUT maybe I'm missing something. I'm fairly new at stacking.
Is this the scam it feels like? Or just an old dude (that claims to have been stacking since the 60's) cashing out a rate he's happy with and passing it forward to others?
Pic for attention.

Question: How can you tell its a potential scam or P&D?
Answer : There are 43 upvotes in a mere short 19mins and ZERO comments except mine
Be careful about this

RDDT TO ZERO

Lisa Su giving ZERO fuks about a shut down.

This is the way. Get the money from these scumbags and into the pockets of suffering people, all over the world. I’m not here for wife changing money or life changing money. I am here to make the future better for future kids and their kids and so on. These dickheads have fucked around too long with ZERO repercussions. They will learn. The economy will suffer hard for sure. This is going to make 08 look like child’s play. BUT with the money in the right hands, it will bounce back better and faster and the economy will be stronger than ever. People will be able to live and not stress about money or where their next meal comes from.
I for one, will be helping veterans, that’s my main concern outside of my life. The way the US treats them is utterly DISGUSTING, let them rot on the street as they wait for appointments months down the road that they may or may not make it to. It’s so saddening to see them discarded. I will do whatever I can for them to get on track and get their lives and families back together and make their time on this earth meaningful after serving us.

Please explain how Dogecoin is a scam, without using hater-memes that show that you did not research dogecoin.
How is a community project, where developers adn the community work for free, that has its own establsihe blockchain and ZERO coins held back by developers "a scam"?
How is a project that implements the Bitcoin standard and leads development that even Bitcoin follows "a scam"
How are people who researched the project they are personally invested in "scammers", while you, who is trying to drive people away from something you do not understand the person that is not pathetic?
You don't understand what you are talking about but pretend you are the big boy that knows it all. Zero arguments. zero evidence... just empty memes that you heard and repeat. Not a single individual thought from you, just copy&paste of memes by absolute morons....
Explain how you are not a scammer and how everyone else is. Go!
