#This is A LOT worse than covid crash. During covid crash we had a bunch of green days and dead cat bounces. Now it's just a straight red line. LMAO🤌

Where the fuck did you here/see that?
I'm afraid if that is the expectation... we're gonna be in a LOT of trouble. My GUESS without knowing you is that 64B is the whisper number for guidance, not for earnings this quarter.
That or NVDA is going to just... pour gasoline on the embers of this Market that appear to be going out and just light it the fuck up.

64B in earnings would probably put guidance at 72-73B and... we'd be on our way to 300 a share by maybe March after Q4 F'26.
That's like a number you'd expect if the Chinese deals hadn't fallen apart.

I have to say... that sounds ridiculous, I hope it's not(none of my skepticism is directed toward you, this is just a stream of consciousness in real time hearing that) but that's either one VERY optimistic person whispering OR maybe you confused that with guidance... because that makes sense.
I've seen Guidance as high as 64B. I haven't seen revenue for this Quarter that high.
I VERY much want you to be right and believe that(or believe who you heard say that didn't misspeak) but I think 54 is more likely than 64. I mean, I expect 56.5B and \~1.28 EPS and I'm pretty damn optimistic. I think THAT is a blowout earnings.

I got so many crayons up my nose that I in-fact work on system level hardware designs and programming models for use cases across some fan favorite digital bean counters, some of them are a smash hit with kids trying to render titties or proteins or magnets and magnetic waves in real life.
I also have friends high up in banking... let me put it this way... the rounding error for an hardware implementation of an ALU relative to time performance over first principles math is a lot LOT stricter than the bullshit I see in terms of "rounding error" in account balances and transactions. Your resource scaling problem goes away if I treat your reality as cheap pixels on a screen. Photons are surprisingly abundant.
The money is worthless, counting it and recounting is a dumb activity. People need computational capacity for real work. That need has value. How you transact with IOUs of value when you can't generate value because you don't have a computational resource sounds like a practical problem every individual needs to think about, because the central banks will make shit up... like a Nobel prize in economics, or give the said prize to the guy that invented "Too big to fail" economic theory.

Probably not. I'm in my almost mid 40s and have invested in qqqi because it pays my rent every month. I want the income to take that off my plate while my salary goes into paying off other living expenses and investments.
If you put the same amount of money into a growth stock the market historically says that you'll have a LOT more money in that account if you don't touch it for say 20 years. Even better if you make regular deposits/investments.
If I could go back and invest in something at let's just say 23 it would be SCHG had it existed.

I watch her a lot (because I think she's hot). There is A LOT of smoke and mirrors going on with her. Especially when she first started getting popular.

I try not to blame people for being victims of the system. There’s zero emphasis on personal finance education in this country because it would cost a lot of corporations a LOT of money if people stopped taking out stupid debt to buy stupid things.

I'm brazillian and you get the picture a bit distorted... investing here isn't something most people do, last statistics I've saw said more people make sports bet than they invest their money, it was something like 12% of the population has any kind of investment, so the people that actually invest their money have a good pile, the bigger slice of people here doesn't even know what "investment" mean and are struggling to live paycheck to paycheck, so, no not everyone is safe because people who invest money here have a lot of money... I'm lucky I diversify my portifolio A LOT so I had just over 3k in it, so I'm safe, but I've seen more than a couple investment youtubers over the years investing more than 50k in this piece of shit bank

also, bitcoin is just a volitile asset, but in the long run, like all investments should be done safely, you will have big profits

calling something a scam when it is not is just dumb, you could call it a bad investment, or a bad technology, and have arguments to back your claims, but calling it a scam is cheap and serves the sole purpose of inflating your ego and hiding the regret of not buying 100$ worth of bitcoin 15 years ago, if you keep this up in 15 years you'll regret not being open minded today

I plan to buy a LOT more BTC does it's usually 80% crater cycle. Forget $100 I'll do more like $100k

I have no more buying power, cash accounts suck because yea it kinda limits you but at the same time you miss out on shit A LOT

I think there’s a LOT of companies out there right now battling a disturbingly low order intake.

Those numbers and percentages don’t make sense
Once you know that these stats , are counting even people who open an account today , blew it in 1 week and never touch trading again ( THIS HAPPEN A LOT )
I wonder what the real stats are , of “ 90% of traders who try trading for 3-5 years quit
See those would be scary but I feel those numbers are higher , most people hit some kind of success after 3 years / 5 years , some long term success , some just some success but end up letting go because maybe it just dint connect with them even if they making some money, some transfer to long term investing with now knowledge and do real good , some built algos , some give up and become scammers/online gurus
Btw little fact , Online gurus “ know how to trade “ is not that they don’t know , is that there results are very inconsistent and can’t maintain solely off just trading , so they built a “ teaching “ brand and end up making most of there money from that , they sell half truths without the other truths ect lol ( just mentioning that off topic )

Tough call. Send these guys a LOT of money and wait for delivery....
or
Walk into my local Costco and buy one for $539.99 and carry it home.
What to do, what to do?

I just really think it’s roleplayed a LOT less than what people like to shout about as a tailwind for markets this year unless you think May 12th-July 2nd was catch up for markets down + dollar down early this year.
There’s more evidence of the yen crisis bothering the Nasdaq last year over dollar down=US markets higher (and there’s some evidence that Japanese happenings are bothering US markets again, but this time, it’s rate related). The Nasdaq actually kinda slowed down this year in May after the dollar reversed course again and was a lot more grindy and then the action just didn’t really change much when the dollar hit its bottom for 2025.

I haven't made a dumb investment in 4 years. I did when MSTR was a LOT more expensive than it is today, but i got out pretty quick when i realized that it didn't belong in my style of investing.
I find it hard to ignore great businesses at great prices, but it seems like from the feedback, it is not a great business, and who knows if it is even a great price, this could just be the beginning.
Was more interested in COIN as an opportunity as it has been on my watchlist for a few years, but I think the MSTR ship has 'sayled' for me. Was more curious about the hype and trying to understand the business itself.

I would suggest that you download any number of reputable apps which allow you to set price alerts for any specific coin(s) that you choose/prefer and then just forget about it/them for awhile. If your high/low prices hit, then your app alarm will notify you and THEN you can go take a look.
It'll save you a LOT of stress AND time from having to always "worry" or constantly checking on the price of your coin(s).
Best of luck!! 🙏😁👍

No, but the amount of rev points is abysmal (at least in Poland) and I don't get local airline alliance benefits (LOT/ Lufthansa) so I really don't care about those points.

kraken holds a LOT of bitcoin distributed from the MtGox hack.
Russians hacked mtgox. America recovered some of them when one of the russian hackers landed in greece. They auctioned them off and kept the proceeds.
Japanese government imprisoned mtgox owner. Mtgox owner gave his own bitcoin (mined prior to starting the website) as restitution to affected users of hack. Kraken (bitcoin exchange) distributed them.
rough numbers from memory. 750k-850k bitcoins were stolen. 200k were recovered.

We're cooked regardless.
NVIDIA misses: We giga nuke.
NVIDIA meets: We nuke.
NVIDIA beats: We drop hard.
NVIDIA beats by A LOT: We drop a little.
Just can't win.

I would actually suggest daytrading a paper account, because that way you get A LOT more reps with zero risk to your capital. I think it’s crucial to gather data and really dial in your strategy, and if you only get 20 trades per month (at maximum), then it will take forever to even gather the data.
But I would agree that swing trading is easier and typically safer while starting out with real capital.

It’s amazing how every few percent drop has Reddit screaming “Trump Dump”, but you were all silent during the drops of the Biden years. There’s a real psychological disorder with A LOT of people on here.
