The Gain Train

I think my biggest issue with business bros and motivational gurus, is that they attribute everything to effort and hard work. As if a single parent with multiple jobs doesn’t work harder than a podcaster or ceo. Hard work is not a secret, it is a prerequisite. Opportunity and luck are the secret.

Everybody gets a blackberry?

I go to Twitter and every finance person I follow has 30 bot replies to every post. I go to check if trump is tanking the market on truth social and I see ads about parasites making you sick. I try to get on Bluesky earlier and technical errors. Please just stop, let me doom scroll in peace.

Ya got soft hands brother

CEO at my company (structural steel fabrication, think skyscrapers/data centers) sent a company wide email a month back with 4 focus points for year. Number 4 was utilizing ai and automation anywhere we could while maintaining quality standards

As is tradition

Big earnings miss, he’s not actually leaving doge, and another promise of robotaxi next year same old story. And yet stonk go up, when does the Tesla ride end?

Obvious high risk play but continued push up today makes put entries on #$TSLA weeklies cheaper. Low relative short interest and more call buying than puts could set up another gap down if they can’t find a way to pump it and get people excited. If 214 breaks it’s going to 200.

Lower range PT on #$LUV hit. Anything further has more to do with macro environment imo

I have a bit of a differing opinion. I think in the longest run we’re moving towards almost entirely digital transactions and singularity. Bitcoin doesn’t fit that mold for me, some of the characteristics that would make it a good hedge also make it a poor currency. Plus energy requirements

Anyone know of the nearest thing to a #Crypto ETF or token that invests in the largest stable coins and currencies? Not just talking Bitcoin or ethereum

Ads like this have been playing on finance YouTube for about a month. They’ve gotten very good at making the mouth movements look authentic, but the voice/word selection is still just a smidge awkward. Probably indistinguishable for non terminally-online folks

Like liquid? Green?

Really? I bought puts at open…

I have a Truth social account to monitor his rantings that might affect the market. Something peculiar I’ve noticed is there are always lots of likes and “re-truths” but no one ever replies. Like one account will just spam 17 replies but no real people are responding. Seems incredibly bot heavy

Literally could’ve bought #$SPY puts as soon as he said the economy was still growing 10-20 seconds in and made 150%-400%

Multinational finance professor said the dollar is strong…

Bro you are actively self-sabotaging. I saw the first of these posts with 10x the likes. You could’ve just released and had the discourse on potential outcomes. I’m telling you it being a day late is a non-issue for market oriented people, especially when he flip flops like a flapjack

I was on threads for some unexplainable reason and the new argument isn’t that they committed insider trading, it’s “They didn’t actually make as much as you say”. And they’re cherry picking strike prices and timeframes. As if $350k profit is more ethical than $20 million because it’s smaller

They did not disappear, and no one knows what decision will be made in the end. Not even him. Clearly people will read it regardless

Someone tell me why I shouldn’t load the boat on #$PYPL

The only real upside I see to all these “policy” decisions is that if you believe he’s evil/dumb enough to do it, the market has been easy. It’s like a large subset of investors just refuses to believe he’ll actually do what he says and create easy entries on days that pop.

Finishing up my MBA this year and taking a multinational financial management course. Discussion on tariffs and I literally have a classmate who is arguing that tariffs and higher cost of living is good. Just regurgitating talking points and prefacing every sentence with “I’m not taking sides, but”

Live in the Midwest. Had a friend on Facebook make a post asking how people’s retirement accounts were. I kid you not over 50 people who I personally know replied something along the lines of “buy the dip”. They have full confidence this is a fire sale

2/10 ragebait

That’s below my line

r/Aviation been calling him out for years

It’s tempting to want to be contrarian, I’ve seen people use the old “greedy when others are fearful” quote. But I just got on Facebook and I gotta be honest all the Midwest people who voted Trump are not fearful yet. A full 50+ comments about dip buying from regular joes. We have not bottomed.
