LOT
Lotus Technology Inc.
stock NASDAQ ADR

Well as an engineer who is focussed on streamlining and efficiency I can tell you that it saves hell of a lot of time to do 80% of the reporting and adjusting modifying based on expertise. Also formatting, data presentation etc. goes a LOT quicker

Invest in companies that are UNDERPRICED. Be the contrarian. As long as you buy quality companies, long term, you will win. Something like PayPal would be the obvious choice.
I've made a LOT by consistently investing in undervalued stocks, while many called them 'dead' and continued funneling money into overhyped names, I accumulated. And I held. And it's paid off.

Hi! I just paid my real property tax (Amilyar) for 2027. However, the Treasurer informed me that only the **LOT** is currently declared. They asked me if there is a house on the property, and I confirmed that it is indeed a "House and Lot."
Was it the right move to tell them? I'm curious, does this happen to others where they have no idea they’ve only been paying for the land?
Also, what are the legal and financial consequences if the house remains undeclared? Will I face heavy penalties for the years it wasn't on record? Thanks in advance!

It's starting to feel like this is the case.
Conveniently timed events which make the current daily chart mirror the weekly chart running-up into the 2021 squeeze (the chart that RK himself marked up that looks nearly identical to now)?
- Burry post (after a few convenient delays), RC buys, now this WSJ article all in short succession
- Kevin Gill all of a sudden posting a bunch of suggestive movie reviews and memes (nom de plume? Maybe, maybe not)
- The "M" shaped ice cream cup post from RC with one UP and to the right of the rest. Posted right before the daily chart formed a nice "M" with RC buying 1M shares shortly after
- The cat ECG in Mid-October (which conveniently matches the start of RK's chart markup)
The list goes on.
The tinfoil is thick, but there are A LOT of little signs. It's starting to feel inevitable.

Copied from another comment below -
As per my research, except for solar - all other industries can afford silver even if it goes up by 3x to 300$/oz or 10L INR/KG
solar is the one who's hurting a LOT already; but the beauty of this as an investor is that solar installations are usually large scale multi-year multi-million dollar investment projects; and if you consider the overall cost of an installation or project - the actual solar panel, and the silver within the solar panel, is still a small % of total cost. Large scale copper replacement will take time & can only happen by 2027 or later. In the short run, solar manufacturers have no option but to keep buying silver at increased rates, and maybe raise the prices of solar panels or make losses. Total Cost of solar projects will increase by 5-10%
TLDR: Silver can go upto 300$/oz or 12L/kg, industries will still keep buying in 2026 & 2027, they have to

It's actually experience. I like to follow DYOR. Do your own research. Friends and family advise us to buy something. Listen to them, yes. but also do your own research about it. Start reading news, read articles, market sentiment. A great skill is a great intuition. Always keep in mind trading or investing cannot be a full time sustainable job if your parents aren't rich aff. Lose money, that's training fee. I've now switched to mutual funds and etfs. I don't do stock trading anymore because I'm no longer able to spend that much time on it. tldr, do a lot of reading, build intuition about market. go for mutual funds. Have a LOT of patience.

Contracts mean nothing if one of the companies goes out of business. Which is what will happen to openai if they can't come up with a LOT of revenue in the next few years.

Yup. Copper Ores are depleting, mining vs consumption is about to or has already tipped into underproduction, and the problem is likely to get worse, not better.
It looks like we are a little earlier in the cycle - but the tariff threat pulled copper into the COMEX out of the LME and SHFE and now the premiums have vanished and there is no reason to move them, but the LME and SHFE have less copper combined than the COMEX. It's not the primary vendor of industrial copper, but stocks over all are drawing down. Something like 1.5% of the yearly consumption.
How to "hold" copper is much more difficult. I think you have to go into ETFs or Futures for this honestly.
You can't store enough copper to really matter. It's about $6.20/lb right now. You need a LOT of lbs of Copper - even if it spikes to $20-30 - to make it pay.

Just imagine him naked saying this crap. It explains a LOT.

Buying at $60K will a) come a LOT faster than 9 months and b) be a hellva lot less than $60K

ehhh, precious metals are a MUCH better bet if you're looking for a safe haven (and not just trying to launder money). Central banks buy a lot of gold. And will buy A LOT more if they stop buying US treasuries

Homeowner here, have you factored in all your expenses? Taxes, Insurance? Have you looked at what a typical furnace installation costs? New roof?
What about other typical nuances like decor, new furniture, lawn & landscaping expenses?
You might think you’ll be frugal but owning has a way of changing a person and it gets really easy to justify spending and soon your house owns you.
There is A LOT that goes into owning a home that most homeowners don’t think about. When housing goes up other things go up too. Like calling a plumber or electrician. Those aren’t cheap, so hopefully you’re handy or plan on being.
I was in the service industry for a while myself so I suspect you’ll take on the work. But then there’s the tools to do those repairs. Etc.
My point is, your bias is understandable but by wishing for the home value to stay you’re inadvertently causing other expenses to go up too.
We all need to stop thinking about ourselves and think about our fellow neighbor and those who want affordable living.
Good luck to you and hopefully you thought about all that other stuff or plan on being house poor.
Also better hope AI, robots and other such technology doesn’t make your job obsolete.
Home owning is a huge gamble.

Have a plan and dont over complicate it. So many ETFs are very similar. Id just have a foundational Growth ETF (50% of your portfolio. For me its VOO). International doesnt have to be much if any right now. us market is still the best market and its more for mitigating risk in the US. Theres always risk so dont think too hard. Personally i like a dividend snowball about 25% (mines SCHD). And no more than 10% (for me) being individual stocks in total of your allocations. Everyone has their opinions but theres A LOT of give and take. For me, i like more SCHD and less international. In this thread im confident youll see someone oppose that. But all in all. Get good answers from reputable people and the best thing you will find is that YOU need to come up with a PLAN and from there, others can help you with the math or critique further.

4. Is the most important one. In normal conditions 15% a year is great growth on account. Because options are capable of giving 100-10,000% gains under the right conditions, regards chase 10 baggers to their doom.
15-50% gains is a LOT by investment standards. Learn to take profit early and often and enter plays with a short time frame in mind.
1 and 7 are good too. It’s all about using rules and following them. Emotional trading will always fuck you up. Euphoria as well as despair. Some of my absolutely dumbest moves have been after a solid fire winning streak.
Also, cut your losses. I don’t set stop-losses, I usually place orders to sell to close with my target price, so if a trade isn’t going the way I thought it would, I’ll close it out and take a small loss. If it’s a strong conviction play with enough time to expire to wait, I will, but sometimes it’s best to just walk.

A LOT of people I know got 17s this year. The product was actually worth an upgrade and the deals carriers put out were amazing. I can see that kind of demand

I love this idea but, the price of lumber and cement are still wicked expensive. Still above pre-pandemic levels. They have been these prices for so long, I doubt they will come down. Plus, the US lost a LOT of skilled construction workers after the housing crash. Jeez, if I were a young person, I would enter a trade (preferably one that kept me from spiders), work my tail off to learn as much as I could, earn my Master ranking, and then open my own construction firm. The US is hurting for skilled labor.

Hey all! First time post but had a question. My wife's aunt is working to sell her silver collection and she found an online place to ship it to. She has a LOT of "90% Silver Coins ($1 FV, Pre-65, Unsorted)" according to the purchase order. My problem is, they are paying her $57.66 a coin. Just quick googling, these coins should have roughly .77oz of silver in them right? Im confused but you guys probably know a whole bunch more than me. I just don't want her aunt to get hosed. Thanks in advance for any advice or details you can give me!

Sure, for those who can receive it (which is both a class thing and a region thing). But the issue is, even with best-in-class top end care we fare equal or worse in most metrics, and are definitely worse in the main first-line metrics we look to (like life expectancy, infant mortality, and mortality rates for preventable injury and illness).
There are A LOT of reasons why this is. But one of them is that the cost of first line health services are so expensive relative to other countries that a statistically relevant number of people don’t even seek care until it is urgent. So, yes, once at that point we may do better (at least with some illnesses) than our counterparts. But in those countries many of those cases never get to that point because care is administered earlier. On average this saves more lives AND costs considerably more.
What info or data are you basing the idea that we’re not worse on? I’d be totally down to sincerely engage.
