Watched the first 2 episodes of “Landman-splaining” … there’s a lecture on everything from the origin of breakfast to the impact of gas prices on retail sales … and nearly always directed at a woman character who seems compelled to bear it with silence.
Weird.

This is his shtick: he says something outrageous, gauges the level of anger in the response, and goes ahead with more of the same if he thinks it can purchase what he truly desires: attention.

Someone on CNBC just said they're watching the bitcoin support level "very closely".
That bitcoin support level is $93,000.
Bitcoin is trading at $82,000.
This asset, and everything that surrounds it, is ridiculous.

No, you do not. You can very, very easily borrowing against it. It's kind of the way rich folks have been doing it for a really long time.

Is there a "Nvidia Divisor" that can compute the impact of the stock's pre-market gain on the S&P 500?

I don’t think it does: the purchase of NVDA chips says anything about AI productivity … we have no idea how they’ll be used, how long they’ll generate profits nor whether the power capacity will exists to turn them on in the so-called “warm shells”.

Isn’t the larger issue not whether NVDA will sell a lot of chips (they will) but rather that the companies buying them will get a return (and aren’t’ buying chips today that will be out of favour 2 or 3 years from now)?
Today’s earnings won’t answer any of those questions at all.
