Wild stuff. Sure feels toppy...... https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2024/12/teen-creates-memecoin-dumps-it-and-earns-50000/

Grifter indeed. The more I hear Buffett invoked by a money manager, the more skeptical I am. Meanwhile, Mark Leonard walks the Buffett / Munger walk without mentioning their names. These are the people to hitch your wagon to....in the same way honest people never tell you they are honest or say 'trust me.'

Wow. That speaks volumes.

Well done GFP.

I'm in, seems like a good trade. Thanks for the idea.

Highly recommend this Waymo discussion thread. Some really good insight IMO. https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/waymo.208830/page-229 BTW - took a Waymo ride in SF last month. It was great. It's pretty surreal to be driven around that way.

Phenomenal. Thanks.

You make some good points but I can't help reflecting that if Churchill had been this wise and pragmatic, England would have cut a deal with Hitler in 1941 to stay out of the war. The pressure to do so was almost overwhelming. But Churchill knew it would only buy time, and Germany would basically own England once it completed its other goals. Ukraine being 'pragmatic' at this point probably means slow suffocation and eventual extermination by Russia. But this move into Russia could change the equation. It makes Putin look really bad to his countrymen. I can't fault Zelensky for this action. I find it inspiring.

Interesting idea. The TLT puts are cheap. What are these seasonal factors?

I've read the Koran. With all due respect, it's an endless, bloody diatribe against non-believers. It's miraculous only a small % of Muslims take it at its word.

Guys, I get it. No argument on any of this. But I'm in the camp of 'take a small slice and gamble with it.' Unlike you soulless robots, I need the outlet! Given all the poker players on this forum, I doubt I'm alone in this regard. BTW I use options, I don't actually short. And so far I'm slightly ahead in this game........anyway this thread will doubtless die a quick death.....maybe deservedly so. P.S. Wayward -I am short TSLA, via puts, which is obvious and maybe stupid, but IMO Musk is playing the long con here but is running out of time. So it's kind of a fraud + overvaluation play.

I couldn't find a thread on this. Someone mentioned shorting SBUX, which is intriguing. Any good ideas out there? I like to allocate 5% to this stuff, to satisfy my gambling needs while my coffee-can stocks do their thing.
