LOT
Lotus Technology Inc.
stock NASDAQ ADR

The negativity in these comments reminds me A LOT of when y'all said Reddit would IPO and you'd buy puts.
Discord is the backbone of every gamer group on the planet at this point, and for games too toxic for voice chat (League) it's the only decent option for VC.
There's no other discord competition - whoever is next isn't even close. There's bajillions of RP communities that used to be in Forums in the old Internet days that all move to and have massive bots, channels and organization to keep the daily RP going.
A lot of nerds, would pay a lot of money to not have to lose their servers and hangout space, and there's not a SINGLE place to go instead.

I'm only in the US (Southern Utah) for January, and need to sell most of my stack while I'm here. Probably around $30k. $50k if you include gold. Shitty picture for reference: https://imgur.com/yFpk0kO
Most of it is Peace, Morgans, and Walkers. But do have a few slabbed ASE's, pandas, constitutional, 50oz generic, etc.
I know I'll get better prices selling online, but selling it all and shipping seems like A LOT of work, especially using middlemen, since I haven't sold before.
Can you please convince me that I'd be stupid to sell to LCS, or stupid to sell on PMsForSale? Is there another option? In person?

Better be A LOT higher than all those

37% is a LOT considering all that he's doing.

Sell and pay taxes - and have 80% of your stack’s value? To invest in what?
If you are worried about the Fed going after 1% of the nation’s savings (gold) then we have a lot bigger issues. They could more easily take everyone’s 401k savings with the stroke of the pen - just as illegal and a LOT more money to grab

A LOT since people are drugged up half dead on the sidewalk

It works if you reinvest most of the interest. I retired 5 years ago and my portfolio is bigger now than it was then. And I spent A LOT of money last year that I didn’t really have to.

I think a lot of people expecting profitability aren’t looking at the insurer side of business, which is going to be a slow grind with great membership growth for a while to come, I’m guessing. If counterpart assistant is a year out or longer, the stock price can certainly sit here at 2-3 due to the impact this will have on short-term expectations based on high MCRs.
I expect earnings will show strong membership growth, high costs associated with those new patients, and no word on counterpart, which will push the price back to 2.20 or something, probably. Unless they announce a major partnership, at which point, everything changes. But to expect profitability right now? No, I don’t think so.
I’m a big fan of clover health, perhaps too much of a fan boy 🎉😅, but I’m not sure it is realistic, just yet, to expect a major takeoff. That being said, I consider this all good news. For those who hold for a long time, you are investing in a company that will MORE than double its membership in a few years. A couple years after this magnificent growth, there will be a LOT of value generated by those members. In 5 years, worst case scenario, I feel we will see clover health around 12-15 a share. Thats only internally considering the contributions of CA to clovers own insurance business. I feel this is a safe bet, with the potential for so much more.

what's generational about an old fat man wearing make up and a wig? Ride a subway in ny at night...you'll see plenty of them, and they look a LOT better than he does.

liquor stores make A LOT of money selling lottery tickets for pennies.

Ironically, when I first got into pendle, I only bought PTs. Now, I'm mostly providing liquidity to get a good mix of yields+points.
The last YTs I bought were for Level Money, the protocol has since shut down, so my points are worth zero... Left a bit of a sour taste. Also bought some Ethena YTs.
I'm tempted to create 2-3 wallets and buy the same $ value in YTs and try different strategies, just to see how they perform. Overall, I feel like whenever I buy YTs, I lose money, although I keep seeing people share their stories on how they made A LOT of money with YTs! I guess that I'm just buying the wrong ones lol

They also allowed lease incentives for the Bronco, I'm sure that does A LOT for sales with it being a Wrangler competitor

No the OWNER'S RELATIVES would pretend to BE CUSTOMERS who are there to SELL silver TO THE SHOP.
The shop would deny the FAKE SALE ATTEMPT.
REAL CUSTOMERS would make an offer to BUY the silver in the PARKING LOT.
REAL CUSTOMER BUYS FAKE SILVER in the PARKING LOT.
REAL CUSTOMER gets BANNED by SHOP.
That's what's going on.

Alright folks, sharing some fresh DD on a brand-new ticker that just hit the market today: Evolution Metals & Technologies Corp ($EMAT).
https://www.stocktitan.net/news/EMAT/evolution-metals-technologies-corp-consummates-business-combination-rhijffbkw8fb.html
EMAT just completed its business combination and officially started trading today, and IMO it checks a LOT of boxes for the current macro.
What is EMAT?
EMAT is a U.S.-based critical materials and advanced manufacturing company focused on rare earth magnets, battery materials, recycling, and midstream processing — basically the stuff the U.S. desperately needs if it wants to stop relying on China.
• Rare earth magnets
• Battery Materials
• Midstream Processing
• Recycling
In short: EMAT is targeting the exact parts of the supply chain the U.S. needs if it’s serious about reducing reliance on China for strategic materials.
Rare earth magnets are essential for:
• EVs
• Defense System
• Aerospace
• Wind Turbines
• Consumer Electronics
• Medical Devices
And China currently dominates this supply chain.
EMAT already owns operating businesses in South Korea that have been manufacturing and selling rare earth magnets since 2007.
That’s 18+ years of commercial-scale operations, not theory.
Their subsidiaries have been supplying global OEM customers, including:
• Ford
• Hyundai
• Samsung
That alone separates EMAT from 90% of “critical minerals” stocks that are still years away from revenue.
Business strategy (the big picture):
EMAT is building a vertically integrated, non-China supply chain using modular, proven technologies, not experimental processes. The company plans to build midstream capacity capable of supporting up to 55,000 tons of rare earth magnets annually by 2028.
Their strategy includes:
• Rare earth magnet manufacturing
• Processing of oxides, metals, and alloys
• Battery materials & black mass recycling
• Hydrometallurgical & pyrometallurgical processing
• AI & automation to improve efficiency
• Scaling proven tech instead of reinventing the wheel
Because the tech is already operating commercially, expansion risk is way lower than early-stage miners.
Markets they serve (this is huge)
The Company serves a broad range of end markets, including:
• Automotive (EVs + ICE)
• Aerospace
• Defense
• Healthcare
• High-technology
• Consumer electronics & appliances
• Renewable energy
This diversification matters — they’re not dependent on one industry or one customer.
The U.S. is actively pushing to de-risk and localize critical mineral supply chains. That’s why similar U.S based companies have already performed well last few months.
Why EMAT stands out vs other rare earth stocks:
• Already generating revenue
• Tier-1 customers (Ford, Hyundai, Samsung)
• 18+ years operating history
• U.S.-based public company
• Vertical integration (not just mining)
• Clear expansion plan (55,000 tons by 2028)
Most rare earth stocks have resources but no customers.
EMAT already has both.
This one could get attention fast.
As always:
Do your own DD. Not a financial advice. But definitely worth watching EMAT.
Curious what others think... Similar U.S based stocks have performed very well last few months such as MP & USAR.

Can anyone here confirm a word of what he said? Here's a newsflash for some people. This guy lies, like, A LOT.

Can we please distinguish between the people that want to learn, but haven't been taught and the people that refuse to learn? Because those are different things.
A LOT of folks simply haven't been taught basic financial literacy and they're more worried about making ends meet than more academic concepts like marginal tax rates.
My wife only recently got into learning about finances and it's not that she didn't want to learn about it, it just wasn't a priority.

• Already generating revenue
• Tier-1 customers (Ford, Hyundai, Samsung)
• 18+ years of operating history
• U.S.-based public platform
• Vertical integration (not just mining)
• Exposure to EVs, defense, renewables, and tech
• Launching at a time when the macro couldn’t be better
Most rare earth stocks have either resources or customers.
EMAT already has both.
Final thoughts:
This looks like a classic case of a quiet public debut in a sector Wall Street already loves. As more people realize EMAT isn’t a concept stock but an established magnet manufacturer with global OEM relationships, this one could get interesting fast.
As always:
• Do your own DD
• Not financial advice
• But definitely worth putting $EMAT on the watchlist
Curious to hear thoughts...

DCA.
The more it dips, the more you should buy.
That said, I think there's a LOT left to dip, so my contributions to any small dips are minuscule vs. the cash I have.

> Got it, so you're extremely amoral and don't really stand for anything
I don't understand what lead you to thie co'clusion when I said european welfare is great, and a LOT better than "freedom country" that makes you bankrupt if you break your ankle, or that if you got no money, you can simply go and let yourself die. It's greed at it's finest and lots of people seem to agree with that, which I yet have to understand why.
Yes government is using my money for things I don't want. For me it's the price to pay for the benefits of it.
>That lovely European welfare you like so much? It is being funded by literally stealing from your grandchildren's future labor
Sure. Fiat currency now is solely based on a broken country's economy. It is grossly inflated and so unstable people are actually considering bitcoin as a viable option. I could point out that
- Bitcoin prices right now are funded (and based on) by that exact fiat money you're saying so much bad things of.
- Every crypto on the market is solely used as a speculation item and there is no way to use it as a real mean of paying, and only is worth that much because people are willing to pay so much for them. Cryptocurrencies. Are. Purely. Speculative. For. Now.
- Also don't forget that this exact speculation is the reason cryptos stay up.
- Yes I agree that European welfare is based on debt. I'll pay it for a long time. Everybody is in debt, and bitcoin won't fix that. People are even getting in debt for buying crypto, and seeing its price plummit.
- A lot of people don't realize how much crypto right now is dependant of the fiat economy. If USD goes down, crypto goes down with it, it's that simple. It is the pure definition of "you'll own nothing and be happy".

You don't have to "hold cash", if by that you mean avoid stocks altogether. The PE ratio of "the market" has never been a useful timing tool. You can make a lot of money over the next... 2, 3, 5 years. Just avoid tech stocks. People buying AI stocks are fishing in the wrong pond. Here's what I'm adding to: ADP, BALL, NKE, PEP, STZ, POOL, XHB, CSL, VTWO.
Fun facts: From Jan 2000 to Jan 2003, BALL tripled as the S&P shed 49%. From Summer '82 to Dec '84, which was the beginning of the greatest 5-yr advance in US stock prices in history, NKE lost 2/3 of its value. The S&P 500 has been amazing but it will underperform over the next 5 years – tech has a LOT of reverting to the mean to do. Buy the Russell 2000 index and focus on small- and mid-cap stocks. As the dean's daughter says in Animal House, "Got a lot of catching up to do."
