  1. I'd say nuke the sh!t out of it, but there is some good posts on the first few pages. Maybe start a new one: Second Trump presidency winners and losers - no cripto
  2. $130,000 for 34 felonies, man that's cheap. Only $3,824 per felony! Should have just used cash! Just kidding guys, I appreciate both sides here, those that think he's a fraud and a criminal, and those that don't give a shit if he manages to fix immigration, wars etc. (BIG if!!)
  3. DXYZ is at it again, up 50% today, at times trading above $40. NAV on 6/30 was a whopping $5.15, shares outstanding unchanged. They seem to have trouble with their shareholder meeting, postponing it several times. Last SEC filing: "I hope this email finds you well. I wanted to inform you that unfortunately, we were unable to meet the quorum requirements for our annual meeting of shareholders scheduled for October 28, 2024. As a result, we have made the decision to reschedule the meeting to November 14, 2024, at 2:00 p.m. Eastern Time."
  4. Interesting that DG and DLTR also suffered today.
  5. Same here. I have used the Midprice algorithm on SSD and MELI, for example, and it gets better and faster fills than limit orders. Unfortunately Midprice algo is not available for FRFHF or FFH.
  6. That's what I meant, got the two mixed up.
  7. Who knew old slow Berkshire was a Trump trade stock... up almost 5%. No tax on unrealized capital gains, lower capital gains tax may play a role. Others from my watchlists: Bitcoin/IBIT all time high CLF up 20% (bet on tariffs I suppose. They were down 10% the day before on earnings) DXYZ up 30+% ENPH down 17% VTS up 5% all time high German auto makers VOW3, MBG down another 4-6%
  8. Yes, there is one precedent for that, in Q3, 2020 I think, when the media didn’t notice the payable for T bills as well, some of them corrected it, some didn’t.
  9. Operating earnings not so great because of insurance and "other", whatever that includes. No buybacks during or after the end of the quarter. What the hell is he planning with all that cash?!

  11. While I don't know the truth, this is shamefully inept reporting. Of course the stashes of cash and gold, if they exist, are not in a cupboard on floor -2 of the hospital, they would be 30 meters below that in a tunnel system that is accessed from hidden entrances outside and maybe quite far away from the hospital. One a side note, I met a BBC employee last year during my travels. The woke capture and the amount of wasteful spending he told me about - like Twitter before Musk. So yes, in my book the BBC is a biased news source at best, not reliable. Your mileage may vary.
  12. Part 2 below. He's one of the original "Market Wizards", no? I hadn't heard him speak. Very well spoken, but I'm surprised he didn't mention spending. Musk and the DOGE Department of Government Efficiency to the rescue, ha! As far as election markets, I think he is correct that there is a conservative bias on Polymarket and others. Current odds:
