There is a fix to too much money in circulation.

 
My call spreads on NVDA are safe. I sold 2-3 week dated calls on NVDA at above their ATH. Even if they smashed earnings I doubted they would roll up that much. NVDA is 8% of the S&P500 and has a bigger market cap than the entire GDP of Germany.
 
Buying the dip in tech, defense, and platinum. Couldn't give a fuck if I'm wrong, plus I was slightly under-weight in tech anyway.

if you have conviction, sell'em naked.
 
For dividends,

1. do you guys reinvest them in that stock?
2. take them as cash and invest elsewhere?
3. take them as cash and spend it?

I like to reinvest in the same stock, because that way I get a more accurate readout of how well it has grown. If you take them out as cash, the growth metrics won't be accurate anymore
 
Goog is eating its lunch. TSLA is pretending it can make chips to cash in on the hype
 
He's been going without his leather jacket lately. Must be feeling the heat
 
Is his nose ELONgating à la Pinocchio perhaps?
 
Thoughts on gold, silver and platinum trajectories, values in 2026? Physical holdings, not ETFs, shares etc. 2025 has been most excellent, but who knows what 2026 portends? Wishful thinking only folks, nobody knows where we will be a couple of quarters from now. Silver has been on a tear of late.

Tomorrow I will make some sales and purchases; the sales are favourably locked in, the purchases - Que sera sera.

Happy Monday all! Wait, I am retired; is it really going to be Monday or just another Saturday? :)
 
I am way below 5%, I have in the past few years enjoyed collecting a few minted coins as well as buying Pamp Suisse bars from Costco. So far I am ahead, but if it collapses I might be singing a different song. Perhaps I would need to buy Bud Light instead of tasty IPAs. Oh fuck that, that is one thing that would never happen!
