      It's not that surreal to believe that this move was an artificial market manipulation by a few big players. Just the right timing when you're in the room with the right people following a couple of big announcements and events could produce this effect. If one whale moves his assets the market can feel it. If there's a couple more like this the market could crash easily, with the ripple effect.

      It's all good and dandy but the "real money" aren't such a great thing to accumulate wealth in either. Example, where I live, properties have been a huge investment market. For the seventh year straight they possess nothing but risks, damage and insurance losses, ever increasing taxes, regulatory pressure, and expenses. And they're considered to be a better way to preserve your money than the cash itself. Now, the cash itself is devaluing so fast that in NZ and OZ local dollar have become almost a joke. They devalued by almost 30-40% in the past decade. So whether you like crypto or not, it's easy to invest into, easy to move, has a huge border free market, and enormous capitalization. Use cold wallets, store your passphrases in the super safe places, don't use dodgy smart contracts, monit

      Probably when Trump is gone there will be another market shake up. And if the USA is weakened by then, all Apple's government contracts and dependency on the protectionist system could hit them hard. If China keeps its technology pace Apple could find themselves in a double whammy by 2030. It's all speculation but they're certainly not as attractive and innovative as they used to be.

      AAPL - $5 Trillion Market Cap. When ?

      @JC888
      The Beginning. $Apple(AAPL)$ began as a modest startup in a California garage in 1976, founded by Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak, who sought to make computers accessible and user-friendly for everyday people. It was a singular vision realized with the Apple I and (especially) the Apple II, that fueled the company’s early exponential growth. Critical Products.

      Trump is a bad news, always. And there will be no liquidity with his tariffs juggling. Until he is backed up by fanatics tariffs are here to stay. He's essentially a cult leader, whether you like it or not.

      It looks like an internal sabotage of the country's own economy, with all due respect. Of course, those who are close to the "King" will benefit the most from it. 

      No Govt No Reports. Oct 2025 Cut Still On ?

      @JC888
      The Shutdown. With the US government shutdown officially taking effect from 01 Oct 2025, US central bank’s job just got a tad more difficult to manage during these ‘challenging’ times. Wall Street is still expecting 2 more interest cuts for 2025. Given the current impasse, is this even possible ? What’s Known So Far. For week ending 04 Oct 2025, there were 5 reports out, despite shutdown. They were : Jobs opening and labour turnover surveys (JOLTs). Consumer confidence. ADP non-payroll employment. S&P Global US Manufacturing PMI. S&P Global Final Services PMI. Jobs opening and Labour turnover surveys. US job openings increased marginally in August 2025 while hiring declined, consistent with lackluster labor market conditions that could allow the Fed to cut interest rates again this

      Will it ever stop? I don't think so, because we will need more of it very soon. And because it's so difficult to mine (generate) using current algorithms, wait until they'll get an upgrade. It'll push the Bitcoin prices even further.

      It looks like that AI boom will require and consume even more resources each year. Which also will eventually put a significant strain on the energy sector. Funny thing we pushed for the EVs pretty hard to optimize the energy use. Now without the significant bump in the energy sector we will be limiting the AI and required technology advance. A truly vicious cycle.

      I'm not a professional investor, quite the opposite. My goal in joining in and starting to play around with stocks and charts is exactly that - the study of the financial market. Because in the end it's all about money. It looks like $Meta Platforms, Inc.(META)$ is fully convinced that the virtual future is all about AI. I'm not exactly sure that they're too interested in human interaction besides collecting clicks and views. They're basically improving their Ads revenue gathering platform using the AI as a bait IMHO. Re the OpenAI it seems like they're expanding their products into social media and Instagram territory. The ability of the platform to generate and share great deep fakes is essentially an expansion into the quazy realistic univer

      Does Our Humanity Matter?

      @Travis Hoium
      We have seen Silicon Valley’s vision of the future of social media, and there’s nothing “social” about it. Meta’s Vibes is fantastical AI-generated videos in snackable form, with the notable absence of any real people.OpenAI’s new Sora app leans into deepfakes, which currently means a lot of jokes about Sam Altman until others (for some reason) give the company the right to create videos based on their likeness.What’s missing is any semblance of humanity in these new apps.The reason this is relevant for Asymmetric Investing is that I believe decisions about how aggressively to adjust the AI dial will be crucial for many companies.Do people want a drink made by an AI robot, or is there value in being served by a human?Do you want articles written by an AI prompt or a human’s thoughts?Busine

      Great article, would you like to share it?

      FIGR - just another Stablecoin IPO. Buy?

      @JC888
      Stablecoin issuer Figure Technologies increased the size and raised the price range of its initial public offering first mentioned on Tue, 9 Sep 2025 as retail investors bid up crypto-related stocks, confirming a Reuters report. The company revised its IPO at a price range of $20 to $22 a share – up from its previous range of $18 to $20 a share. It also raised the number of shares to 31.5 million from around 26 million. Initial FIGR's IPO would have raised as much as $526 million and valued the company at $4.1 billion. With revision and based on top end of new pricing range, Figure's IPO will raise roughly $693 million and value the company at $4.66 billion. IPO’s proceeds will fund (i) corporate growth, (ii) working capital, and (iii) potential acquisitions, further amplifying its scalabi
