Surprisingly down today, even JD after crushing earnings..

Wood & Garlinghouse

Jan '26. I sold the 340$ strike puts and bought 500$ strike calls.

This aged poorly. You're not really objective on this topic in my opinion. Some of the finest people I know come from immigrant backgrounds and yet I am strongly opposed to the current immigration policies in most of the western world. This is nothing 'latent', this is purely based on statistical evidence I am presented with. We are getting overrun by more people we can handle, many are refusing to accept western laws/values and vastly increase the crime rates of the countries they move to. Mainly middle-east & sub-Sahara African immigrants ruining it for the rest but oh well...

Of course, this is just setting the stage for negotiations. He does not want to be the president that is bad for the market.

Nobody tell him about church tax exemption. Or goverments subsidies...

I'am at 33%, more common for younger/less wealthy people to have much higher %'s in RE. Go for it I would say... When MSTR skyrockets you won't care about the % anymore.

Also sold MSTR puts. Premiums looking good again.

Meanwhile Rheinmetal and Saab keep going...

Yeah I believe we see 80k on BTC again before 100k. This tweet does not mean much more than a campaign promise.

I am guessing his son holds those? Don't see any sense in holding any other crypto than BTC but don't really care if they waste additional US tax payer money

No way you did those negotiations in a large public setting or on TV. That's the thing, it's all fine to play hard ball in private. But being disrespectful in public... that causes permanent damage to relationships.

I think it's a good thing Trump is forcing Europe to up its defense spending, we have piggy backed on the safety of the US military for too long. We don't need the US to beat Russia, in fact, without the US putting restrictions on how the war is fought (like not attacking russian oil refineries), we can cripple Putin much faster. That said, his behavior towards Zelensky is disgraceful... I'm all for the tough negotiations but this was just childisch and disrespectul from the Americans. JD Vance was making arguments like a child... Most of europe sees all of this as a temporary phase though, just wait out trump, 4 years at most.

Because they will die for their country or Allah but not for the country they moved to.

The new german chancelor has publicly stated to back Ukraine 100% already. Europe will stop Putin without the US, because if we don't, Poland will be next.

Aha great thanks!

Perhaps another useful feature would be to be able to ignore people and not see their posts? Many of the long off-topic debates or rants are typically baited out by the same people. On other forums I just add those people to the ignore list but haven't found that option here.

Bit of Metaplanet.

Well you're right about that.

I think the cycle is already broken with ETF's and politics coming into play but we'll see.

There never was much inflation, just greed and price hiking. Unfortunately Powell does not see it that way so rate cuts will need to wait and the market will go full fear mode.

I get what your feeling, I am actually starting to think about trimming my Nintendo position to buy cheaper stuff here. But I would hate selling such a high quality business.

BRK was ok, FFH down 2%.

Big drops today due to covid rumors?
