lj: I won't tune in for results until late tonight. Trump was firing on all cylinders in the speech he gave in Virginia Saturday evening. He is a locomotive headed down the tracks.
lj: GRRR
I wouldn't lose any sleep over it. If worse comes to worst, we can buy a load of GRRR during tax-loss selling season, then sell in January. After 3 or 4 years, we might break even! LOL! Or not.
lj: AAPL is one of my holdings, and I am glad it is languishing, as NVDA did last year. It isn't considered an AI stock yet.
It is building a base. If it does take off later in the year, it should do so in a big way, if they have something new, as opposed to a redesign.
al44: Thank you, al44. She wouldn't win against Big Mike. No way.
lj: NYC is becoming a third-world ****hole, to use one of Trump's expressions.
Everything HAS fallen apart, littlejohn. Society is coming apart at the seams.
Schumer want to give work permits to people as they illegally enter the U.S.
When scum is running a country, what do you think will happen?
NYBob: Trump's speech in Virginia Saturday evening was AWESOME. He was firing on all cylinders. I never have seen him so forceful and strong. His mental strength is off the scale. Yet, today, I saw an article citing a fake poll saying 60-some percent of people think Biden and Trump are not up to the job physically. When you poll morons, that is the result you get.
The first question they probably ask is, "Have you even listened to or watched Trump speak"? If the answer is "no", then they include the person in the poll.
Polls can be as crooked as a dog's hind leg. Follow the money. . .who is paying for the poll?
al44: I read that "Birdbrain" is not ruling out running as a spoiler. Good. She will draw white, suburban women, the white-privilege crowd, who otherwise would vote for the Democratic candidate. Unless. . .Michael is the Democratic candidate.
SBL: 9 to 0. He cannot be removed over J6. The victory is HUGE for MAGA. l HUGE.
Jack Smith can go eat manure.
lj: The big question is whether panic selling would be bullish for Bitcoin and MSTR. I opened a position this morning in premarket at $1,182 in my IRA, for the longer term.
Opened a very, very small position outside of my IRA at $1,189, for a swing trade. Between the time I bought the first lot in the IRA, the price rose $7 a share. Glad I bought the bigger lot first!
OT: "Birdbrain" allegedly is considering running as a spoiler. I wish she would. She will pull votes from Biden's white suburban women who hate Trump. And, on the other side, we still don'tj know what Gavin "Newscum" is up to.
MSTR still running. The buying is as crazy, if not crazier, than the buying in NVDA. As poster "littlejohn", a real smart guy, would say, "And so we watch. . ."
r59: NYCB
I own this stock, unfortunately. The macro problem is that regional banks have big loans that are due to the Fed, I believe this month. Throw in the commercial real estate loan problem, and it is not looking good from some regional banks.
r59: TSLA
If President Biden is reelected, there will be no tariffs on EV imports from China (Chinese products, not Tesla's), and that will be the end for the American EV market. GM and F are going to be in BIG trouble. The union leaders will endorse the Democratic candidate, but the rank and file will vote for Trump. As Michigan goes, so goes the election. It is going to be very interesting. GM and F have a lot riding on the November election.
I sold my TSLA last year, and still have a small position in F.
LJ: Don't have time to read the article, or the ngas article now. WIll read it later today (Saturday). Thank you.
On another topic, "Bird Brain" is finished, after as much as saying she hopes Trump will be convicted in a lawfare case.
Not smart. I guess she deserves the moniker Trump gave her.
lj: VTLE
Not too many companies can claim that they doubled their share count in one year!
lj: Was the Lunar New Year in February? That might be the reason.
al44: GM back at ya! Exactly!
lj: The thought of sovereign state hackers using AI should keep us up at night. If our side doesn't use AI effectively to protect our financial and economic entities, we are doomed. We are a country that cannot even close a border.
The U.S. is weak and in danger, imo.
r59: Fingers crossed that they fix the problem soon! EOM
Grilled cheese anyone? Actually, this article is serving up a big chunk of baloney!
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-13141599/war-gas-stoves-nanoparticles-car-exhaust.html Talk about ESG propaganda. My grandmother made grilled-cheese sandwiches on a gas stove all of the time. I guess it was unhealthy given that she died at age 95.
Ditto with my mother, also died at age 95. They actually pay people to do such asinine research?
Anyone have a slow experience posting messages? EOM

Does Jennie Harrington ever have egg on HER face!
The CEO stepping down suggests that he is being ousted for doing a bum job.
JMO, of course.
lj: BABA
I own a small position. A real dog of a stock.
lj: Have U checked out Microstrategy (MSTR). Check the 1-year chart. 15M float.
Did we ever miss the boat!
al44: Thank you.
al44: Sorry about the duplicate posts. IHub was acting wonky from the moment I logged on.
NYBOB: James Comer is a false alarm. Hunter, his uncle and his pop are going to get off Scot free.
It is sad that the Justice Department is an arm of the Democratic Party. If that weren't the case, the U.S. Attorney General would be going after the Bidens, and Hunter would be in jail.

DD: Independents will not flock to Biden. The only thing flocking to Biden are pigeons, who will poop on his head.

Today's price (Wednesday) should be interesting. Will it hit $50 or even go past $50?
lj: That article made no sense to this peon. The figures didn't add up.
lj: Yep. China nixed bitcoin right out of the gate.
lj: Macy's is closing a slew of stores. My guess is that there will be 4K-5K lost jobs, maybe more.
Looking ahead, AI won't hit a stride; it will gallop, then fly like the wind. When that happens, the job losses could devastate civilization. Computer programmers will be the first to go. Laborers will have jobs, but there will fewer laborers needed, as the middle class will no longer be spending like drunken sailors on home remodeling and anything else you can think of, except drugs.
Conspiracy theory: The Marxist Democrats will use AI to shrink the bourgeoisie, after expanding the proletariat class over the past 2 years with unlimited illegal immigration. To fulfill their plan/vision, they need a huge proletariat. With probably 20M or more illegals already here, no problem.
The middle class has always been in the way.
Not a peon's thesis.
Critical race theory, DEI, cancel culture--all Marxist tools. It is in your face. A classic example is the idea of slavery reparations. That, more than anything, could cause extreme racism and achieve the Marxist goal of dividing the country along lines of race. There aren't going to be reparations, but Africian Americans who expect it will be bitter. It is a win-win for the Marxists.

Up a bit today. I have some shares in my IRA purchased at $51. I am tempted to sell the March $15 $50 call, since getting rid of the position might not be a bad idea if we believe the next earnings report will stink to high heaven. But, given the weird investment world, if the earnings are bad, the stock might pop up $5. Outside of my IRA, I am sitting on that call, on the position that cost me roughly $65 a share.
lj The eps in the next 10Q should be interesting, given the increased share count and the decreased prices of ngas and oil.
