Classic narcissistic behavior.
You've been running around saying everyone is brainwashed, but when called on it, and asked to backup that view with facts now I am the one throwing insults?

Shut up.
You are everything you say. Have you even for once sit down to take a stock how you stink here? Not even those from your corner engage you, the only way to get attention is to attack so when you are attacked you feel noticed.

I don't envy you, I don't think anyone here does.

My TBills play is 365.

Yes, my manager told me rate would fluctuate and sometimes can be higher or lower but she will make sure to wait and enter whenever it is higher than that.

Yes, bamboo is an app for Nigerians, Ghana and South Africans to trade stocks both in NYSE and the NSE for Nigerians.

I was surprised they offered 8% but I thought it was low. Crypto exchanges like Binance can offer more incentives for staking yearly.
.

The managers personal intervention is a shaky way to put stuff away for 25 years, sounds like a short term stuff

Binance won't offer USDT at high %, na all those other crypto wey you will gain 30% on the crypto itself but the crypto could fall 90% same time. USDT staking is similar to banks offering

Didn’t he say it himself (several times actually) that he’s just here to troll. I wonder why anyone would expend energy on a troll.

I know he’s mad people don’t even put any effort into the responses they give him. I know I don’t. That’s when I’m not outrightly ignoring the fvck out of him.

Especially not when he’s slyly peddling his yahoo links.
Y’all be careful what you click on with that one.

Maga cultists are truly the lamest and dumbest people alive.
It doesn't matter how much money they have or if they live off food stamps. The fact is they've been so radicalized by conspiracy theories, they can't decipher fact from fiction.

This dead beat dad and coked up Nazi elon is a prime example of a truly fúcked up weirdo.

How anyone feels so clean with this is beyond me.

And Javier, the crypto scammer argentinian president, plunging his country Into the worst recession ever imagined? I bet basilico loco sees a role model there. These are the weirdos who are the heroes in basilico loco's world.

You dont believe anything Trump says yet you posted something Trump said as evidence? of what?

You are presenting a campaign speech made 18months ago as evidence over a policy statement he said 2 days ago

You need cure for your TDS

Evidence of Trump's instability. That is; what he said before is different from what he is saying now.. Yeah better to wait and see what he eventually does. I think.

Her intervention is at maturity yearly.
Like, next year, the one I purchased will be mature, she said she can do the actual filing to reinvest it since I already signed a letter to that effect. All she'll do is to reinitiate the interest plus capital on that . I always get the certificate sent to my mail.

The Pentagon would cut military commands in Europe and the Middle East, as well as several programs long deemed critical while preserving or increasing spending in 17 priority areas, including border security, according to a memo obtained by POLITICO.

Budaatum, Cococandy, Ijebos and other sane people on the thread. Watch this.

The effects of their policies will be mainstream eventually, where people just need to look around them to see it.

Might take a few cycles, like dump 3.0 (48) and 4 (49), and I can wait to watch the reactions.

The moment the cases began, I stopped taking the Dems serious. What they didn't know was that the cases helped him and boosted him to become the president as neutrals saw that he was being persecuted.

Dems were rather stupid with this.

Though he did need to be persecuted for Jan6 if nothing else, Dems should not have been parroting his name all the time and thereby increase his profile.

You too like whataboutism. Let's leave Obama Guatemala whatever, we are not discussing Obama's success or failures now. Or is it because of Obama that Trump said something else at the campaign and gave a different instruction to his Defense Secretary?

I am only trying to point out why nateevs will put out Trump's campaign statement to contrast Trump's recent statement, which justifies his call for us to wait till the deed is done or not. Else we might be blindly arguing or defending a non existing action.

Personally I will commend Trump if he will sincerely cut Pentagon budget the right way, like you always said, Democrats have failed to do the same, so Trump will deserve some commendation if he actually does something meaningful about that, in a way that does not diminish US power. What though I will not see as a cut is an attempt to cut from Taiwo and add to Kehinde withing the same family, like cutting from some programs to fund other programs withing the same defense budget, leaving a zero net cut. That will just be a readjustment. But then I will also not want to debate all these till the time we see concrete actions towards Defense budget cut.

There's always a time in America and also in History where overwhelming the public with muscle velocity of evil and hatred at every turn will run it's course.

I don't believe rapist trump and Nazi elon think they'll win in the end. Maybe one is fooling the other or they are both fools for denying history.

I've said it before, the rapist trump will be a disgraced "leader" who won't be ed fondly by the American public. I think elon's downfall will be incredible and swift. And America will quickly forget him and move on.

What I fail they fail to see is that thing has always resisted dictators in history - The Will to Live. That's why the earth will outlive them but they'll live in infamy and shame.

What a slow dumb fool.

The rapist lost 60+ cases in court concerning the 2020 election and only won one silly case.

After acknowledging he lost to confidants in private, he denied it in public and whipped up the crowds who attacked the capitol.

That you are a 2020 election denier in 2025 is the most pathetic thing I would ever imagined for you.

You are just another low quality idiotic maga cultist trying to sound centrist like you are not a maga cultist. Or are you so ashamed to say you are a proud maga Nazi cùnt?

Like I say it's reckless to offer that advice at ATH, with no clear direction on inflation or interest rates on the horizon. If you ask me Google and Microsoft can do more relative to their peers pricing but that is an observation, not an investment thesis. Your property strategy is still solid and let 401k/investment funds or ETFs provide your diversification. LordAdam16 would know more but I'm not as bullish as he is.

I get it. I truly do.
Buffett is still sitting on $320B.

It is safe to sit it out until the inevitable crash or major correction.
ETF and chill. Take your S&P yield for a few years and you'll be at the ready like a kid at a candy store with an Amex Black Card.
It's the waiting that gets to people. ETF is boring.




I do have to offer some clarity about my reasoning on tech basket performance.
IMHO, many players have dotcom PTSD.
There's a very real fear of INTEL-ing a portfolio.

Thing is tech is now a staple. Investors are treating it like biotech; when it is just like insurance, banking, industrials, real estate, retail, energy.
If the economy crashed today, most in the market will bleed. And tech will easily be one of the biggest losers.
But when the economy roars, tech will be right there leading the charge again.

Everyone is still going to search on Google and watch videos on YouTube.
We'll continue to use Instagram.
Businesses will keep paying subscriptions for AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud.
In a downturn, ad $ will drop off a cliff. When things pick back up, businesses will start buying ads again.
That is the fundamental. Tech is as critical as oil. We'll always need it for modern conveniences.




That is one part of it.
Here's the second part.
Apple introduced Siri in 2011. Amazon launched Alexa alongside Echo in 2014.
These weren't obscure events. Releases were public and popular.
These were the precursors of ChatGPT, Claude, and DeepSeek.
There has been a clear, distinct trajectory to AGI that didn't start with NVIDIA crazy 2023-to-present run.
AGI may not be imminent. It could still be a decade away, but we will get there.
We will throw as many trillions as is necessary until we crack it.
And when we do, everything will use it in some form. Everything!
AGI is not the only next-gen tech breakthrough Big Tech is on the verge of breaching. Autonomy. Robotics. Quantum Computing.
Of course, the best time to buy would be after a crash. But if you were waiting on a crash since the start of Obama's second term, you'd have lost on historical gains. In any case, a crash will have no more than a 2 (at most 3 year) drag on R&grin.
And again you're not buying a biotech stock hoping for an M&A or FDA approval to go parabolic. These companies are printing money today and will continue to do so unless there's an asteroid impact. The core 4 anyway - Google, Microsoft, Amazon, and Meta.

That is the tech bull case.
Tech already had its Patagonia recession under Biden.
Google is trading at 23 P/E. It's peak was in 2017 at 55.
They've all shed pandemic weight, which means they're nimble enough to take the next crash on the chin.
Lose some value, then ratchet up.




Needless to say, tech stocks will never be the only success story.
Waste Management has done 5x in the last five years.
Walmart and Costco have done 3x in the last five years.
Mastercard and Visa (payment duopoly). Hermes (affordable luxury). Caterpillar (construction equipment).
EU defense stocks are on a tear for geopolitical reasons.
Small caps are getting a lot of attention.
These were obvious, uncomplicated plays.

Don't buy an airline stock, Wells Fargo, or Duke Energy, regardless of how promising they look. That's how you become a bitter "investor".
As long as you avoid buying stocks because you saw a billboard, you'll be fine.
I like the product or I shop there, so I'll buy the stock is a recipe for disaster.
ETF and chill during good times. Then active stock picking when there's blood on the street is still undefeated.

I like how you already put a get out of jail card by saying if he cut it the right way? What is the wrong way to cut the defence budget?
Someone has already given instructions to his defence secretary to cut budget, The defence secretary already wrote to people under him that he is cutting 8% per year but now its about cutting the budget the right way? Whatever that means

Those ahead of him did they cut it right way or wrong way? The end goal is t cut the cost in DC we already saw Democrats wailing about cutting USAID the wrong way, wailing about cutting this and that the wrong way

They should just own up that a bloated govt is what they want and to keep spending money on things Americans dont like Sesame street in Iraq, Pottery in Morocco just be bold to tell your constituencies that while Americans are dealing with increased taxation and inflation, you are shipping money out to those items

Good analysis

23 PE is good for Google and way below my benchmark of 28, and it's a company that permeates every area of life unlike Facebook whose PE ratio is OK but can be prone to soufle collapses like when Zuck launched Meta and market wasn't having that narrative

My wahala is uncertainty of trade wars and effect on interest rates which affect tech stocks to sege

Any small caps looking interesting in AI space?

I've said it before, the rapist trump will be a disgraced "leader" who won't be ed fondly by the American public. I think elon's downfall will be incredible and swift. And America will quickly forget him and move on.

Isnt it time you shutt the Bleep up , swallow your L and fvvckk out of here. You sound like a dimwit everytime with Mark your words

How many times have you told us to Mark your words and what happened. If you have any shame you will deactivate and run away from this forum

Obrigardo:
I really don't know why you think trump has a future. His family will run out of the country, mark my words!

Obrigardo:
It's really clear where trump's plan is hatching. The news reports it to us and then we see it unfold. Mark my words, trump is starting trump tv by february 2021 on youtube grin, and by then he will be facing 4 lawsuits hearing in one month. But many Americans including some of his cult will pull away from his cult madness, trust the MSM, they will render him useless.

Obrigardo:
Jeez, that's got to hurt grin
This is just another Criminal trump grift and mark my words, before the end of this year a "Truth"Social lawsuit from a disgruntled shareholder will be filed against trump. All of his failed businesses and bankruptcies have amassed lawsuits one after the other,
If i can bet on this, I'll gladly stake my house and all my savings.

Obrigardo:
Congress will invoke Section 3 of the 14th Amendment and ban Criminal trump from ever running for office again, for life.
The Supreme court will agree to the disqualification clause.
