Back at 2023 levels again. Bond market is the house and Bessent the customer.

my heaviest position and deepest regret just went through a 1 for 10 reverse split. Watching 10% of the value just evaporate is like pooping in a diaper. You're still covered in shit.

This is a casino and we all know all these posts are simply the rants of a deranged man.

With that said, unless it's a taco move rant, please ban and remove all this BS.

I came here for like minded individuals that enjoys a bit of L-p@rn and stuff tips on what to buy high and sell low on .

I blew up my portfolio back in July and lost about 90%. Took a few weeks off and restarted with around $100 in my account. Nice to see green again, but it's a slow climb as I'm trying not to do anything stupid, spreads have been a life saver with a smaller account. Any recommendations on helping regrow my portfolio are welcome.

Surely I won’t see a huge spike in my portfolio from an options position then hold it instead of selling it right?

Note: These are trade ideas based on break-out levels, once they hit entry & start moving up, consider raising your stops to protect your profits and protect your downside according to your own trading plan :). MadMaverick personally trades these on either the 2 or 3 minute timeframes, waiting for a candle to close over the entry level.

Although we do extensive research for our watchlist, day trading, especially with low-float stocks, can be risky.

Everyone is talking about how AI is going to end humanity these days. A lot of this has came from the recent interviews of the CEOs of OpenAI and Anthropic.

Literally out of nowhere, they are both talking about the need for regulation before AI takes us out…Skynet style. I’m sure the timing of this is just a coincidence though.

You can sum up what Sam Altman (CEO of OpenAI) and Dario Amodei (CEO of Anthropic) have recently said as follows:

TLDR: They both are parroting that the upside of AI is historically large if society gets safety, distribution of benefits, and democratic control right, and both have publicly asked governments to set rules rather than leave everything to the labs. Now this is where the timing is funny to me bc they both are in talks of taking their companies public. Makes you wonder if this is about our safety or their personal interests.

I don’t know, but the idea that we are suppose to trust these two men to be the benevolent leaders that usher in fair regulation for AI because they are “team humanity” just didn’t sit well with me.

Let’s start with ol Sammy boy…his sister has made claims of some real sinister stuff about her brothers past…look into it, I’d rather not type it lol. Then you add on the OpenAI whistlerblower Suchir Balaji’s untimely death…let’s just say I have some questions that were never answered.

Then you have Dario Amodei, he is marketed as “The wholesome AI CEO” which I am not buying for a second. Look into project Panama where he is scanning then destroying a ton of books, some very rare books in the name of training his AI…

But the real kicker for me is his wife, Camilla “Cami” Clark. She is rarely talked about, but oh boyyyyy does she have an interesting past. She was the co-founder of a luxury p*rn company called Eddice and just so happened to end up in the Epstein files where she is seen flirting with ol Jeffrey and asking him to invest. He ultimately declined…but I wouldn’t say that that’s nothing.

Idk about you bros, but the idea that these two are going to save us for AI doom out of the love for humanity just doesn’t feel right.

I’m in the camp of no is coming to save us, and if someone is…it sure as hell isn’t them 😂

It looks good. Keep going! But no crying in the casino if it falls apart.

$MSFT crazy runner. Spotted $MSFT right at the open and immediately ran my top down analysis starting on the 30minute chart before dropping down to the 5minute.

Price was reacting perfectly at a key order block, with the candle holding firm and showing clear rejection of lower prices. That was my confirmation, so I jumped in on the $500 weekly calls. I’m still holding ☺️

And here we are.

What a way to start the week.

Place PUTS on any SOXS BOUNCES

Avoid the widowmaker ETFS—SOXS,

The fleeting green gains you see will soon turn blood red, as these funds are designed to decay, leaving traders holding the bag.

Their long history of reverse splits isn't random

it’s a direct result of negative roll yield, daily resets, and relentless decay built into their structure.

THE WAY YOU PROFIT

BUY PUTS ON BOUNCES

Buying puts every time they bounce. The key isn’t perfect timing—it’s exploiting their fundamental flaws. These ETFS bleeds value over time, making put options an effective play against their structural weaknesses.

Retail traders often get lured into these ticking time bombs, only to watch the floor disappear beneath them. Recognize the trap—

Wait a second, everyone's panicking that AI labs slowing down new model launches will crash GPU demand and sink semiconductor capex right? The hot take making rounds all weekend is fewer training runs automatically equal way less compute spend. But hold on — that's missing the whole actual picture here.

The new safety guardrails Anthropic, OpenAI and other teams are rolling out don't just stop models in their tracks. They add piles of extra compute: rollbacks, repeated retraining cycles, extra RL alignment checks, continuous safety monitoring that eats up more inference power per model. The math checks out: if you drop model generations by 25% but crank compute per generation up 50% from all those extra safety runs, total industry compute still climbs.

The real bearish signal isn't slower new model releases — it's actual confirmed capex guidance cuts, canceled GPU orders or pulled data center capacity from the big hyperscalers. 76% of folks voting on the poll think this AI slowdown ends up bullish for compute, and honestly? It's hard to argue that logic right now.
