Other than gold, what other PMs are there that matter? Dunno if you've noticed, but they all tend to rise and fall at similar rates at the same time.
Platinum's like the only other meaningful one, and it's tied to ICE engines.

Obamas ice deported more than trumps ice has with a budget a quarter the size, now the ICE budget is like 20B over the marines. Really makes you wonder if this admin is just that laughably incompetent, or if ice is being built up for ulterior motives.

bruh the Chinese have had much cheaper cars available domestically than the US for a very long time. this was true for ICE vehicles too. people were writing articles [in 2005 about how the $6,000 Chinese econobox would come for the American market](https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2005/09/26/car-town).
so no, it's not "just a matter of time". there are a lot of roadblocks. legal ones (crash testing, etc), social/societal ones (stigma), and just plain policy ones, like tariffs.
we have tariffed small trucks for like half a century now. the rest of the world can drive much smaller cheaper trucks than we can.

Does Polymarket let you ~~bet on~~ invest in domestic violence futures? Because if you see an ICE agent in a Cyber Truck, that's easy money.

SpaceX in 2025: 18.7 bn $ revenue, 2.6 bn $ losses, approximately 22k employees. Does Rockets, Satelites and maybe some AI stuff.
Comparison...
Bosch in 2025: 102.8 bn $ revenue 2.0 bn $ ebit, approximately 412k employees. Produces basically everything in automotive from ICE components to BEV power trains to cameras, ECUs, Sensors and otger things, sells hundreds of millions of MEMS, sells E-Bikes, Powertools, Washing Machines, HVACs and loads of other stuff.
Estimated valuation: 40-50 bn $.
So SpaceX has 20 times less employees, less than 1/5 of revenue, has more losses than bosch has earnings. But its valuation is over 40 times higher...
Bubble will pop at some point.

I actually saw ICE use teslas so it looks like they really are

I agree with your assessment although I do think she felt very bad especially about the social media post which she interpreted to mean support of ICE when in fact it was about letting everyone know that another daughter was so impacted that her work was closed. Besides, I was in CA the entire time taking care of my mother who needed daily radiation treatments. She had not even realized I was still in CA!
Our estate lawyer made the very sensible observation that people want to manage their own money and it can be difficult to rely on others. That is always the second best option. That might be part of the reason why people don’t face squarely the reality the aging can mean loss of cognitive function and it is rational to anticipate and prepare for that probability.
We have a great argument with our kids to have them manage our money especially since it is set up so simply. The argument is they will have more of an inheritance. My mother’s money is managed by a company that had her incur $650,000 in capital gains last year when she only needed $200,000 in income. My sister is going to have my mother’s tax accountant get a detailed explanation of why this happened and how the company may have benefitted. I think it may be called churning. A fiduciary should not have made such an obvious mistake because there is a step up in capital gains when money is inherited.
Tricky stuff. We are putting all this on hold for the summer. Reddit is such a great resource for brainstorming and getting feedback. And thank you. My daughter for caught up in the brainwashing. I never thought I would understand how the Holocaust happened but now I do.

Habe in der ersten Klasse in der Bahn halt schon weniger gezahlt als in der Zweiten. Keine Ahnung wie die ihre Preise würfeln und solang es nur 10-20€ teil mehr kostet buche ich immer erste Klasse für lange reisen im ICE. Einfach entspannter. 
Im Flugzeug ist die Preisdifferenz halt einfach zu hoch und nur in Langstreckenfliegern sinnvoll, wo man ja eh eigentlich nur pennt. Ob ich beim schlafen nun paar mehr Beinfreiheit habe, macht echt keinen unterschied. 

Hi Everyone,

I bought a significant (double digit) number of May 2027 cocoa futures contracts when the Iran War started in early March 2027 at a cost price of USD 3,500 and my target price is USD 14,000. The contract is currently trading at USD 4,000.
I am fundamentally more bullish than this guy. I am betting on a redux of 23/24 where cocoa soared to USD 12k, but this time it will be even worse. Why do I say it?
1) ONI is a measure of the strength of the El Nino. The ONI [https://dashboard.theclimatebrink.com/#enso](https://dashboard.theclimatebrink.com/#enso) is pointing at 3.3C while the 23/24 El Nino only peaked at 2C. In other words, this El Nino is significantly stronger than 23/24.
2) In 26/27, the El Nino will peak in November, similar to the 23/24 El Nino which peaked in December, just in time to ruin the main crop (75-80% of cocoa is produced here). The teleconnection is heavy downpours till July 2026 (causing Black Pod disease) and then drought + heatwaves + Harmattan from September 2026 onwards. Very heavy rains are already forecasted next week in Ivory Coast, particularly next Saturday. That country is responsible for 42% of global supply: https://x.com/MarcusWeather1/status/2064013212614533545. Ghana is just next door geographically and should suffer from a similar weather.
3) This time unlike in 23/24, the COT data is showing that both managed money and producers/users are net short. I am not advocating a short squeeze, but it might happen.
4) This time, NY ICE inventories is about 2/3 of the volume at Jan 2024. In other words, there is less of a buffer existing today than before the 23/24 supply shock.
5) The farmgate prices in ghana and ivory coast have already reflected the extremely low cocoa prices. Therefore, producers have no incentive to optimise production and use fertiliser / pesticide etc. this cycle for the 26/27 harvest.
The bulls are well aware of the near term oversupply in the mid-crop. The mid crop is only 15-20% of the global cocoa supply. The demand destruction narrative should also turn around by Q3 this year as it is well known that chocolate prices lag cocoa prices (when cocoa prices fall) by 9 months. In other words, by Q3, chocolate prices will fall to reflect the cocoa prices of USD 3-4k, not the elevated USD 8k-12k. Hence, there will be a demand rebound right at the timing when the El Nino will cause the market to worry about supply.
This is not investment advice.

I think what keeps them alive is the Saudi PIF ownership and continuous investment. Without it they'd have gone belly up by now probably but believe it or not they are increasing sales each quarter and if you have ever had the chance to drive one you'd realize it's probably the best car on the planet, no exaggeration there. Tesla cars are great but are kind of old now, the Model 3 and Y are coming up on 8-9 years old now with no full redesign in sight. Traditional automakers pump out absolute garbage since they are splitting R&D money between ICE vehicles and EV's. Lucid finally made an SUV which I think was what really held them back but again, if you ever have the chance to drive one you'll see it's the best damn car on the road. It'd be a shame if they somehow can't ever be profitable because I really like the product.

ICE = Internal combustion engine. Probably not the best acronym these days…
