LOT
Lotus Technology Inc.
stock NASDAQ ADR

Just remember, the USA is socialism for the rich. And the rich hold A LOT of stocks.

Ok, so, I'm going to let you in on some insider info: We've always had the ability to do that.
It's called hiring software developer contractors from the global south and paying them $1.50/hr with no bathroom breaks.
Do you know why we don't do that exclusively now? Because the quality of code they put out isn't very good (though, I would argue, it's better than the quality you get out of Claude Code). But big software companies have always had an easy and cheap "force multiplier" at their disposal.
If you want to found a startup and make a competitor for one of the major SAAS companies right now, and your plan is to hire a small workforce and tell everyone to use agentic plugins in their IDEs, you can do that. But you're going to run into a brick wall very quickly.
The AI might know how to write javascript and CSS, but it doesn't know how to architect a scalable system. It doesn't know about data residency requirements, multi-region deployments, GDPR or SOC2 or PCI compliance. It doesn't know about load testing and security and FedRAMP. It doesn't know about efficient schema design and materialized views and pipelining. It doesn't know about deployment trains and monitoring / observability tools.
And then after you write your Salesforce Killer, you're going to have to host it, but as a startup, you're going to be paying a LOT more to AWS than the big SAAS companies are. A company spending eight figures a month at Daddy Bezos' Cloud Emporium is going to be able to negotiate a significant discount, but Barbara's CRM Solutions Inc isn't.
And even if you figure all that out, you're going to be left with a product full of mediocre code and a company full of engineers who don't understand the code they're writing.
Oh, and here's some more inside baseball: We (people who work in software at big, publicly traded tech companies headquartered in Silicon Valley) are all already using AI. Through my employer, I have a github account with unlimited copilot - any agent, including claude. I am actually encouraged to use AI to help code (it is pretty good at writing unit tests, I'll grant). But, saying that agentic coding is a force multiplier, and then only allowing for applying that to plucky startups that are seeking to dethrone Salesforce is crazy - Salesforce is already using AI as a force multiplier. At best, the plucky startup is moving at the same velocity. They're not faster. And they're only cheaper because they lack feature parity.
I swear, all of this "Companies that don't realize AI changes everything have already lost" sounds ... eerily familiar. It almost sounds like "Companies that don't realize the metaverse changes everything have already lost". Or "Companies that don't realize blockchain changes everything have already lost."

good luck too! the only way to sell it fast it to sell it below market value, sometimes even below zonal value. if you are not willing to do that you will need a LOT of luck to sell right now.

Lol, gold plays an incredibly important role in multiple industrial sectors and it would be used a LOT more if the value wasn't so incredibly high. It can't drop to zero because it exists and has important uses.

Found another awesome artist to showcase for you all! J.C. Metals & More. This guy is great. He makes tiny silver fantasy weapons and objects. They are all hand molded, hand cast, and then hand stamped with the tiniest numbers to ensure you know their weight and 999 purity. Each and every one is unique, but there are a few similar pieces. I think you are gonna love these. Support a small local artist this holiday season, they are getting to live the dream :)

What’s this last week has shown me is a LOT of you are some genuine whiney paperhands. Jesus man

Same. Every time. You might want to keep a journal so you can look back. The trends are the same:
1. There will always be the Cycle Deniers at the top, even though history shows exactly when it will revert.
2. At the top there will always a lot of excitement about it going up forever
3. You will see tons of "sold my house for bitcoin garbage"
4. You will see "does anyone ever lose money in Bitcoin?"
Then crash, boom, bang! Tons of money being lost, relationships breaking up, retirements trashed. Why? Because people believe the garbage on this sub and don't look at basic charts and cycles.
A LOT of people will be hurt by this.

I’m not sure why the OP assumes that stackers don’t have survival equipment, water and food stores, and self protection. Silver, gold for financial collapse and a LOT of lead for societal collapse

No, that money is not "literally a direct deposit in Nvidia's bank accounts."

Do you think all AI CapEx is just NVDA? The infrastructure, the energy costs, the money GOOGL is spending to build their own Ironwood TPUs, AVGO(who is going to really benefit as GOOGL doesn't use NVDA to power Gemini).

A LOT of that money will go to Nvidia, but I see people who think those two earnings somehow suggest NVDA has almost 400B of Business from these two companies and... it's... just c'mong. They both buy AMD also!
It's not "just" going to NVDA. I

It is very good news for NVDA though. I'm not disputing that in anyway.... just the framing of it is so ridiculous.
(Though, if you want to see who beats by the largest %, I'd put money on AVGO... and in fact have).

I got A LOT more messages when Bitcoin dropped from $17k to $7k than I did when it hit $100k.
The drops are always louder.

It’s a pyramid scheme, it’s only worth is what the next person is willing to buy it for, it literally has no value except for what the next idiot think it’s worth. The only reason it’s worth this much is because criminals have invested A LOT of money in it to create this fake value which will entice common men into believing it has value. They buy because of fomo, and these criminal enterprises do their pump and dumps to suit their needs to drive the value up and down as they buy and sell.

To be fair, I think a LOT of people were banking on shorts today. Gold, silver, tech stocks, crypto, all in a free fall. You don’t need Miss Cleo to tell you, we are all effed right now

Drugs, kinda.. To skip waiting time and the reliance on other people's approval for who I am ¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯ + it saves me a LOT of money

I don’t know why people are saying that it’s a good thing??? Seriously??
**RPVARA is being sold as “fair,” but let’s be real yung fallout hits the middle class the hardest!**
This is about to mess up a LOT of ordinary people. Kawawa mga future generations na Hindi na makakaafford magkabahay.
Real property taxes are about to **skyrocket**, esp for residential properties that were never meant to be treated like prime commercial land.
Here’s what people keep ignoring:
• **Middle-class homeowners get squeezed**
Hindi lahat ng may bahay ay mayaman. Suddenly, they’re taxed as if they’re developers or landlords swimming in cash.
• **Rent goes up guaranteed**
Landlords won’t absorb higher property taxes. That cost gets passed down. Renters pay more, end of story.
• **Evictions and displacement are real risks**
If homeowners or small landlords can’t keep up with taxes, they’re forced to sell. If renters can’t afford the increases, they’re pushed out. This is how you create more homelessness, not less.
• **Commercial rents rise → prices rise**
Small businesses don’t have magic money. Higher rent = higher prices. Wala pa dyan other costs. And don’t get me started on permits at yung pagtaas ng garbage fees.
Yes, even:
* your **local karinderya**
* the **sari-sari store**
* small neighborhood shops barely surviving inflation
Guess who pays in the end? **Consumers. Ordinary people.**

NOT A LOT OF BRIDGES IN THE DESERT BUT I'M NO QUITTER

in fairness there is a LOT of volatility in the market overall today. I haven't checked but im guessing realized volatility is higher then implied today.

I use Claude code 8 hours a day for my job. It could not do the work alone. It needs a LOT of bay sitting and I use opus for the primary assistant and sonnet for all of the sub agents.

If they can't, it would explain a LOT of things....

Lmao FUD everywhere you look.
Are you really gonna fall for it dude?
I bought a LOT. Its never a straight arrow up or straight down.

uh, it's not like there aren't *A LOT* of articles written on this or anything. here's just one:
https://www.investopedia.com/terms/m/meanreversion.asp
let me lay this out for you in simple terms. a stock can (and do) revert back to their historical mean when coming out of a hype-cycle that saw the price extend well beyond the realistic fundamentals. for SNOW, a big-data platform that is arguably losing momentum to databricks, it's price ran up nearly 100% in 6 months (April 2025 to October 2025). are there "macro risks" temporarily pushing the stock back down *OR* is the $160 it is at right now a relatively even place where the price has historically been? there is no guarantee the price will go up - especially for a growth stock like SNOW that has **never** reported a profitable quarter since IPO. like really - what is the narrative for the price going up? SNOW was great when they were the only real alternative to something like hadoop - but that's not the case. they have no moat, they're not profitable and they aren't growing at the pace of their largest competitor (databricks). why *wouldn't* the price revert to the mean here after what is obviously an over-aggressive run up?
but hey - what do i know about how this investing stuff works?
