Was war euer finanziell unvernünftigster Kauf 2025, den ihr im Nachgang nicht bereut habt? (Z.B. Kuckucksuhr für über 1000 Euro)

Jerome Powell Just Hit CTRL+Z on the Economy and Hedge Funds Are About to Speedrun the Five Stages of Grief 🚨🔥

Ok this is Morse code.
Long long short short long short.
This means Z.
We are at the end

I’m going to say something controversial; PG is a trap.
Boomers and older generations bought consumer staples based on reputation, perceived safety and loyalty. That’s how they shopped.
Millennials and Gen Z are OK buying these products from start-ups and ‘Internet brands’ (Harry’s for example). Store brand (Goodfellow/Amazon Basics/etc) are far cheaper and typically are just as good as the legacy brands products. And with COL & inflation getting out of hand, consumers are opting for value products.
That’s the consumer side.
From the business side, retailers are becoming more vertically integrated. They want a bigger piece of the profit pie. They want to distinguish themselves from other retailers. They do that by creating their own brands and promoting it. So they will display their products front & center over products from P&G.
P&G isn’t going out of business. But as a growth investor, I’m looking elsewhere.

I'm a baby boomer, but I'm the baby of the boomers, so I don't think it applies to me. Maybe the oldest boomers, but i don't think so. We were born after the great depression and World War II. I know my children had it harder than I did. They are millennials and Gen Z.

Lots to unpack in this post but generally I’d say lack of financial literacy is a real issue. It can’t account for all the disjunction though. So many different things have happened to the economy since covid that I think it’s going to take quite a while to stabilize. The rapid inflation was a real disruption. It can’t account for all the problems people are facing but it’s a major factor. Data shows wages haven’t kept up with prices over the past 50 years. Healthcare is a mess. Housing is a mess. There are many bad things converging at once. It’s putting an immense amount of pressure on younger people whose earnings haven’t hit that tipping point where they get some breathing room. I have 11 nieces and nephews mix of Gen Z and younger Millennials. I talked to them at Thanksgiving. All are struggling, but the Gen Z’s in particular because they are just now starting to earn and shocked at how expensive it is to “adult”.

There are problems, and then there’s being drafted and going to war. Biggest problem Gen Z has is their inability to handle a problem.

Gen Z did not invent being broke. FML.

Give me a fucking break. Gen Z didn't get drafted and sent to fight in Vietnam. Gen Z did not get shot at for protesting the war, or tear gassed and set on by police dogs marching for Civil Rights. Gen Z did not have to fight for the right to unionize, marry a Gay or Lesbian partner, or vote if you're any color besides white. Gen Z did not have to struggle 50 years for any kind of gender equality in society, hold elected office, be a CEO, an astronaut, a doctor or a fighter pilot.
You have had everything handed to you on a silver platter and all you do is bitch about it. Instead of whining like a baby, put your big boy or big girl pants on, work hard and accomplish something. We set the table, all you have to do is eat.

More like the opposite, this is going to exasperate inflation because it postpones a correction which while rough allows buying power to return back to a more equal status. This will push it even further allowing capital holders of real property to sell at an even higher value than the currently inflated one which will just put that burden on the next generation of buyers, residential will be millennials and Gen Z/alpha and commercial will be X and millennials.
It doesn't actually fix or mitigate the encroaching disaster that would be the value correction it just delays it.

Personally I like “center crosses” over “zone excursions.” If it were me using this I’d play around with normalizing this by Z score or RSI.

Yeah, Goku rode the Nimbus cloud basically to the fucking moon in Dragon Ball Z. Don’t these dumbasses know anything

Gen Z could out the Video Game 🎮 down and go to work

How Dramatic ….. Snowflakes ❄️ ….. My Grandfather grew up in a 2 Room House ….. No Bathroom - No Electricity - and about the time He was getting his feet under him …. Uncle Sam sent him to the Pacific for 3 years to join in that little get together called WWII
The 70’s were Stagflation and 23% APR and Gas Shortages / Home Builders went under along with Farms
I could go on …. But it wasn’t until Reagan and Clinton came along did the economy roll …
Gen Z is the beneficiary of decades of others hard work …. Quit Crying and go to work

1) Ich bezweifle, dass deutsche Jetzt-Rentner einen signifikanten Anteil der weltweiten Aktien halten.
2) Global gesehen ist die demografische Entwicklung weniger dramatisch als in D, gleichwohl der Trend zu weniger Kindern durchaus global ist.
3) Darüber hinaus ist die Frage: was wäre denn die Alternative fü die langfristige Altersvordorge der Gen Y, Z, alpha und folgende?

Populists can be left or right, these young Gen Z men are very much leaning heavily right.

Bro, consider this like an addiction.
You need to try therapy to stop trading for at least a month. You need to work on getting away from it at least 6 months.
Trading without a clear strategy and good discipline is gambling.
Anybody can watch few yt videos, create few indicators on chart and voila they are trading but this is not it. In 10-15 years we will find out how Gen Z and millenials have wasted most of their earnings on trading/investing.
Society does not care if people ruin themselves. Just look at sports gambling, it's perfectly legal now.

Heard about Rivian launching an “Autonomy and AI Day” tomorrow on the 11th and thought that was bullish news, and so naturally, I decided to buy a single put.
Am I screwed? Or am I going to kick myself again for not making this a deeper conviction play?
Tune in next time, on Dragon Ball Z!

This might be a contrarian view but the markets are no longer about value, and are instead driven by narratives.
Narratives aside, I happen to think Meta is efficiently priced and wouldn’t touch it with a 10 foot pole. Declining user stickiness rates among Gen Z, global surge in advertising fatigue, etc.
Not to mention the how many hundreds of billions they’ve spent on AI developement with no real incremental increase in revenue to show. The common argument is that AI has increased Meta’s algorithm’s effeciency, which may be true, but it’s important to note that recommender systems and LLMs are inherently different model architectures and based on different mathematical foundations.
As a Meta investor, I would be scared that Meta not only has no chance of competing with Google, Open AI or Anthropic for a frontier AI model, but they can’t even produce a quality open source model or retain top level AI talent/executives; all while sitting on a gold mine of proprietary data for LLM training (Meta Graph - Instagram, Facebook, WhatsApp, etc).
There are potential incremental improvements to Meta Ray Bans with the investment in AI, but it is a minuscule revenue stream for the company, and there’s a good chance it gets at least partially flattened by the release of Google’s smart glasses in 2026.
If your interested in tech, there are plenty of “bargains”, many of whom have shown viable evidence of integrating AI with existing enterprise operations, and with real mediums to exploit to generate new revenue streams moving forward.
The intersection of data centers and space technology is something I have my eye on at the moment.

Gen Z must let it rot.
