Waking up from bad dreams and being constantly reminded that none of this is real. I invest too little into meditations and metaphysical experience and too much on material whims. I must get past those blue grids.

>>60559489
>Sounds like shit, let’s both decide to perhaps be more meditative
I'm always stuck in that mental trap where I think I need a comfortable physical life to properly foster that development. I know this to be false, because my best progress was done when I was at the precipice of exhaustion and suffering.

That is an attachment, one I need to get rid of. They are "karmic sins," not the conventionally human interpretation of societal harmony that all religions adopt. The karmic sins of a mortal life drive a will to stay alive, so we fight, kill, propagate, consume, and cooperate to prop all of those things up. That is what we are born with, so we are born of "sin," because being consumed by them will make you forget of your origins and send you spiraling back into that cycle.

I think I will eat some chicken tendies and meditate afterwards. I have two non-trading days per week, and when the nightmares subside into a regular schedule of out-of-body-experiences, time will become meaningless and I can practice as much as I want. The existences outside of timespace is a continuum instead of the point-observation that we experience here.

>>60559505
Because America is going bankrupt. No one wants to buy treasuries from a collapsing economy.

Because the America government is going to bankrupt itself on it's current fiscal trajectory. There is a growing risk that America will default on it's debt or possibly hyperinflate the dollar to cover it's debt. No one wants to buy treasuries from a country is such an absolute state of economic distress. Rates have to gobup to cover the risk of holding US debt.

Is this a good way to play the Trump market? I'd have doubled my money since inauguration day if I'd started then. Also which do you anons prefer, VXX or VIXY?

Reminder that AI won't improve to anywhere near the extent that the market is pricing in. There will be no major productivity enhancements. There will be no AGI. Earnings multiples WILL come down.

You are a business. Take it seriously and grow your business.

>>60559805
Means anything based on vix futures will continually decay and you lose money, look at the 5 year view

>>60559808
IWM is only just now starting its rally past 200sma. this market may go higher yet. removing the cost basis may be wise risk management but like you said selling too early is fear motivated. you find yourself in the position now where you have a chance to actually make it. the share price is over $1 now, next step is 2 then 4 possible a $10 stock at some point. perhaps your stock has not even taken off yet.
why not take cost basis at $2 then just let rest ride for 2-5years or when the small caps rally actually begins in earnest. you'll see the trade deals will come in favorable, fed will cut rates. small caps will soar.
people are far too pessimistic about shit that doesnt even matter. if it doesnt work out well you wouldn't have known regardless, but in your position you will hate yourself for not sticking to the plan or holding conviction if you miss the opportunity. you will make it.

>>60560016
i need more income is the problem. neetbux is truly pitiful. my motivation is at an all time low as well. i barely even wake up to look at charts these days. im truly at a loss as to what to do. if i look for work i lose the gibs, so the work has to actually be worth doing, problem is i havent worked in a long time. its extremely frustrating because im fairly high iq and actually have education as well. im starting to make decent money from trading but its an extremely lonely existence.
this is the neet life paradox, yes you have finally escaped the wage cage but you are also completely removed from humanity.

>>60560047
You need to work and trade at the same time anon. That's how you build enough money to retire early. Just doing 1 of those 2 things will lead to bad results.

For nearly the last ten years I thought I was going blind and all the doctors told me there was no hope. I was so light sensitive because of my eye problems that I couldn't even go outside, and so I lived the most horrible existence imaginable just trapped inside a tiny dark apartment with no socialization, no enjoyment, and no purpose. All I could do was wagecuck 60-80 hours a week at my remote job while my eyesight gradually withered away. But in a truly incredible twist of fate, it turns out all I needed was to take some extra vitamins and now my vision seems to be completely returning back to normal. I'm happy like you couldn't believe, but I missed out on so many opportunities. I'm 30 now and it's like my 20s never even happened. My eye problems prevented me from pursuing graduate school, love/marriage, and so many other things that I enjoy. I don't even know what to do with myself now.

Financially speaking, what would you do in this situation, /smg/?

>>60560101
go travel. you've basically been a prisoner for 10 years. remove yourself from the containment zone. change your state of mind in the same way your change your location physically by travelling. interact with other living beings. converse, try to involve yourself.
you are free to do whatever it is you please. if you are still living in the same place (that dungeon) you should leave there as soon as possible. i was in a similar position to you, trapped in an apartment when i was still a drug addict. that is bad energy you need to get away from. walk in the sun, in nature. meditate as you walk. leave the fear that hold you back behind, that is your old life. that old you is dead now. the new life begins.

based or cringe, be honest

So... it's not going to happen, right? There will never be an economic crisis in the next 5 years (in 2030 we will be all happy) so basically we have the next 5 years to make as much free money as we could, right?
>War didn't stop market bullish
>US taxing the whole world didn't either

Attempting to predict what things will be like in even six months is completely out of the question

>>60560101
You've got a right to live. Go out and have an experience, you deserve it. Don't worry about being awkward. If we assume your fears are true, the fact you did it anyway in spite of them is even more worthy of acknowledgement. You just keep trying things regardless. Eventually you'll realize how naturally it all comes, and how the imperfections, are a part of the process.

Well for starters their franchise agreements don't protect stores from cannibalism. For example, if a franchisee obtains a McDonalds, than Micky Dee's isn't going to let another dude set up another McDonalds within X amount of miles. Subway doesn't have a rule like this

How did you have vitamin A deficiency for 10 years, 100% nuggies diet?

>>60559640
The local Subway's manager was literally named Manmeat the last time I went in one. That was about 20 years ago. Franchisees are all kumars. But unlike Dunkin Donuts, they're not selling something that people must have, so their scale doesn't provide a moat.
Also, it's a past prime concept. "Healthier than fast food" that isn't really healthier than fast food unless you're on Lipitor. Anyone willing to upgrade from classical goyslop will pay the extra 20% to get ingredients that aren't vacuum sealed and embalmed. Racial shifts have also diminished the demand for psuedoitalian at the bottom of the market in favor of nachos.

Just a reminder to the
>WHY IS THE FED NOT CUTTING
guys

Here's PCE from last year vs this year. Only PCE is somewhat down. That's obviously because of Oil, but that will fade very soon if you look at the Oilchart.

Core PCE though is pretty much STUCK. Yes, the rates are lower now. But what if they were even lower? What if they lowered them now by another 0,75%? Would it then be ~2,7% again next year? It's 2,7% on top of 2,7-2,8% (one reading even 3% (revised)). The May 2025 reading was lower, because May 2024 was higher (2,8%). Jule, July and August 2024 were 2,6%, so the 2025 reading might end up higher (like it did just now with 2,7% (unrevised yet))

Likewise PCE was high in April and May 2024 with 2,7%. This helped having a lower yoy PCE. But from June 2024 onwards it goes down, increasing the risk of 2025 PCE being above 2,3%.

Inflation is at this level with rates above 4%. EU is at lower inflation with lower rates.

>>60560856
what makes you think oil is going to go back up?

>>60560872
Obviously Oil was up in june and will have an effect for the June PPI/CPI (thus PCE) which is the reading in July.

Not saying Oil will go higher. If it doesn't go lower it will already have an effect on inflation reports that will be weaker than in April-May 2025, as in both months Oil was lower than now and compared to April-May 2024, especially April, a lot lower (Blue circles).

June 2024-2025 (green circles) are now somewhat closer to each other than the blue ones.

In July 2024 there was a spike, but after that it went down to the Red Circles (pretty much start of September 2024). So if September 2025 is also at the level now, there won't be any -12% inflation report on Oil(products).

Nationalists are such retarded stooges for thinking that this entire dog and pony show is about burgers versus euros or anything else, and not just the 1% continuing to clown on everyone by convincing people that they’re all in this together. I’m seething and I’m malding

>>60560974
that's why "globalists" are capitalists and not communists. Capitalists, as in globalists, exploit the different rules set by different nations. Under a one world government there would be one taxlaw. This global law was pretty much what some would call "COMMUNISM". But, was it bad? Is the fact that the US is the one that wants to get ouf ot it not proof it's capitalists that want out of it (I mean, who's more capitalist than the US?). Isn't it proof that capitalists are globalists? Yes, it is.

>>60560974
On top of that, weren't calculations about the debt burden of this bill also based on the inclusion of this retaliatiatory tax? So now that it is scrapped/excluded, that means less taxrevenue for the US. Same thing with the tariffs. And DOGE obviously also was just a meme. 9% of the goal, already given up.

Are all the housebuilders and farmers that employ mexican slavelabour democrats?

It's actually bullish because
1. More money for israel

>you are literally spreading hollywood lies
To save money I had girl roomates in college, and for a few years after college. I saw them in their naturla habitat, they are confused, do not know what they want, but are attracted to guys with confidence because they alwasy doubt themselves. Being a dick is not confidence, confidence is shown/seen, you can be a dick too if want, but women want what they do not have and that confidence which they get from some guy. women often mistake dickish abussive behavior as conifdence becuase they are stupid. When you walk up to a woman and don't care what she says and disregard what she does and just do your routine they like that, even if they pretend not to. Stop putting women on a pedestal and realize you saccrifice quality stock investing time to talk to them, which is really a drain because they have nothing of value to say anyways.

There's people in the office that earn 3x - 4x what I do and they're still paycheck to paycheck. They're just really good at spending money.

Most common way to blow any hope of saving money for them is a new truck. Payment terms are long and the interest rates are high.

I’m trying to research the semiconductor value chain from raw materials to the fabrication. Looking for sub $20. since ChatGPT is a parroting shitbag, I’m asking for legit perspectives on where to invest and why.

There's that anon that bought into gallium nitride since that's a higher performance counterpart to silicon substrates. The US also has big reserves of it in Texas. It may be the next step in semiconductors because of the limits being hit on silicon.

Navitas would probably be a long-term hold though.

Way to anon. My toyota has +420,000 miles on it and is a major money saver. Take the saved money and invest it wisely.

>>60561912
Before covid, a new corolla was like 16k
Now a brand new corolla starts at 28k

I can find used 2019-2021 corollas for like 16-17k but I feel it's such a waste of money. I'm still young and that money is going to compound so much by the time I'm old.

Maybe I'm saving too much but I can't get myself to spend so much on a car. My commute to work is 7 minutes.

Used Toyotas tend to have mega miles at that price. Think about it this way. If you own it practically forever, the expense for the car was insignificant anyways.

If that ain't a top signal then I don't know what is

>>60562151
>That’s gonna be Palantir isn’t it
Why PLTR is part of the intelligence/industrial/banking complex and only growing. The stock price may or may not keep rocketing upwards, but if they split the price will moon again. Last week someone sold about $35 million worth of $35 calls so the price declined a bit. I think the best best for the rest of this year are PLTR and ASTS, provided rockets launching ASTS sats do not explode.

No, the top signal is when Cramer says the economy is strong and he is bullish on the stock market. Then you know its going to tank soon. The job of main stream media and Cramer are to keep retail in the market as the strong hands sell before the crash.

Burger bros, does this make historical sense?

>It’s easy to blame everything on Gore not winning, but what about Clinton? If he hadn’t been derailed by scandal, maybe he would’ve had the political capital to keep bombing Serbs on behalf of the EU. Maybe Gore would’ve inherited a cleaner stage to campaign from. But let’s be honest. Americans are moralists when it suits them, yet deep down, Republican or Democrat, it's the same empire. Guantánamo is still open, the world was already tired of the U.S. throwing its weight around, the UN was already a hollow instrument for justifying a global order built around American dominance.
>Had Gore won, his environmental agenda likely would’ve failed anyway, not with a bang, but with bipartisan indifference. And without that failure being framed as rebellion, it wouldn’t have become a counter-cultural symbol either. The best-case scenario is a delay in disillusionment. Iraq might not have happened then, but something else would’ve. The lies, the justifications, the wars of aggression were already baked into the system ever since Wilson used idealism to mask imperialism, and Roosevelt made the arsenal of democracy under the guise of peacekeeping.

>>60559388
I study and flip burgers when im not looking up the market.

>>60562255
We are unique in that we have only two political parties, and both are right-wing. Essentially yes,a Gore win likely would have had only superficial changes.

>>60562255
We'd almost certainly still go to war. As a Vice President to Bill Clinton, Gore was involved in the administration in increasing counterterrorism. Though Gore would've likely used more diplomatic efforts than Bush, he also was a key supporter of military intervention. For example, in the Desert Fox campaign in '98, Gore as he believed such military efforts where necessary if a threat was clear and significant. Following 9/11, Gore was a supporter in going to war, calling the terrorist attacks as an "act of war."

Gore, however, would've likely focused on a more limited mission in Afghanistan, prioritizing the defeat of Al-Qaeda and the Taliban; the whole "nation building" thing is largely a neocon project that never worked (vietnam and nicaragua).
Gore would've most likely, not invade Iraq in 2003, as while Gore was a supporter of war against Saddam Hussein in the 1990s, as stated before, he'd likely want to keep the military objectives compacted, rather than making them bigger and bigger. With no war in Iraq, a U.S withdrawal would likely occur in 2008. Gore would no longer be president, after likely serving two-terms, and the most likely president during this time would John McCain, as if Gore was elected, that would've been twice as democratic party-electee, and they usually do not change for a third time.

Now, with McCain involved it's hard to see if a withdrawal would likely happen. McCain was concerned that a premature exit could lead to resurgence of other terrorist groups. It's possible that McCain would pull a post-Germany approach, with the U.S splitting, or at least electing U.S-ran officials until Afghanistan security forces where capable of handling the situation. This perhaps, could lose him the election of 2012, as Americans where experiencing war fatigue, and with that being said the likely electee for 2012, would be Barack Obama.

>>60562255
>If he hadn’t been derailed by scandal
The scandal was to keep Clinton in line, to do what he was instructed to do. Clinton was insider from the beginning. During Clinton DNC acceptance speach he thanked his mentor Carroll Quigly who wrote the book Tradegy and Hope - read the first 50 pages it lays out the plan. Clinton was also involved in smuggling drugs into the US. He was dirty from the start. The desicions are made and the president is informed and the president makes up some story for the retarded population to cling to. Clinton bombed Serbs and others as part of the effort to control the drug trade - lots of money was being made and the US was not getting its cut. Clinton kept bombing Iraq in preparation for the next attack, which Bush W did. If Gore won he would have done the same thing, but maybe 9-11 would not have happened. 9-11 was part of the Plan for a New American Century. US is part of the empire, the lead hired gun, for now. You will do what they say or get shot. Ask JFK, RFK, Reagan, Trump.

>>60562283
>McCain was concerned
McCain was a fucking retard who almost sunk an aircraft carrier. He was given a script and money and benefits to stay on script. He almost got taken down as he was part of the party of five taking bribes from the savings and loans that were being investigated for fraud and he interened on behalf of Charles Keating.

It was just a reply to some dude talking about how good it would have been if Al Gore had won.
