$LRCX did well.$INTC earnings after hours. No real feel one way or the other. Estimates were pretty low already but there are rumblings that $INTC will be on the higher end of estimates. There are also rumors that $META is moving on from using $INTC in datacenter. Oracle is making a pivot from $INTC in future systems.
Some yolo puts because semi sentiment is a bit negative because of... reasons.
Are “retail investors” even listening to those folks? I think the little guys understand the gravity the Dimons of the world control, however, I think they aren’t as afraid of them — it’s not the 90s. Robinhood has everyone feeling like David.Dimon? Definitely.. I think Dalio went back on his cash is trash theme a few seasons back, and Bury was also tweeting folks should "sell" (again) months ago .. plus the media and mad Furus were pushing crash / recession fears heavy.
Obviously those dudes move way differently for their own reasons, but they got average retail investors trying to duplicate their strategies and taking their opinions too far sometimes.
I think some do, some don't. Even with the mechanisms in place to take part in the market, not everyone has a plan of their own unfortunately. I think it's easy to scare the average person out of their positions, especially when it's coming from someone seemingly "of stature", or at least more experienced.Are “retail investors” even listening to those folks?

This was a really good video, but I must ask (forgive me fellas, I am still learning this stock game...Hopefully after I finish reading a few books I'll be more equipped in the next 3 months) why not just invest in QQQ??
Is it because with single stocks you can own as much as you want and in QQQ everything is spread around?
Nice. My advisor put me in all of these. Hopfully in the next 5 yrs it pays off
Was watching dave Ramsey this morning. He said historically after a 2 yr down period the market has always had a big run. Im hoping history repeats itselfSnowflake has come up on my radar a few times recently, might throw them on my watchlist..
Also, I was watching another Seth Klarmann interview yesterday and they mentioned that his fund (Baupost) has become and investor in COINBASE ($COIN). Which surprised me since he such a deep value guy. I guess I haven't looked at COIN in a minute either.

Yea... I think it comes down to a) portfolio construction AND b) the individual investor's circle of competence.
a) Portfolio construction wise, I know that he's said that as far as his retirement portfolio goes it's all ETFs for steady long term growth/compounding. But that in his taxable account he invests in way more individual companies that he knows/likes (see the next point) and also to take advantage of volatility for the right entry/price-points...
b) Circle of competence wise, he worked in tech sales for years so he has a deep understanding of cyber security, cloud, and tech sector in general. With that edge in specific knowledge (circle of competence) if you can stockpile shares of the best of the bunch rather than buying the whole sector via an ETF, you have a chance to win bigger (since you're concentrated on your hand picked winners vs. buying the whole sector which includes the laggards).
It's obviously not a sure thing, but it can work if you really know what you're doing.. and admit to yourself what you do and don't know about certain sectors/companies/strategies.

Naw that makes total sense.
One of the main reasons why I am so big on Google and Apple, I work in the healthcare space and my company has had several conversations with them both about doing some things in healthcare and then all of the things Apple is doing with the apple watch and some of the partnerships they have with a few hospitals allowing patients to sync their data into their EHR systems....
@Aww Skeet Skeet! Lisa Su had a lot to say today.
Fitch credit down grading..... essentially we are looking at a potential government shutdown due to budget debates/politicsSo why the blood bath?
Rating agency Fitch dropped a bombshell late Tuesday, leaving analysts and economists confused. Even as the U.S. economy is chugging along nicely despite the encircling uncertainties, the firm downgraded U.S.'s long-term rating from "AAA" to "AA+."So why the blood bath?
