I definitely see Google/Amazon/Microsoft shedding a huge amount of market cap when the time comes to write-off the 100s of billions they invested the past two years.
They just don't have any feasible path to recouping those investments.
Sure, they'll never go fully broke, that's just a nice word for emphasis.
I realize you are confused.
You don't appreciate that having 200 shares of a fund today, at today's valuation, is better than having 100 shares of that same fund today.
Because that's the point I clearly made, which you ignored and constructed some kind of straw man on which you had your little Don Quixote party on.
And if you really want to understand the philosophy, the point is to take profits prudently and buy bargains when they present themselves. And that's very much possible without exactly timing the market.
I have never sold at the top and never bought at the bottom. I have no crystal ball to time the market, but I have made a lot of profit buying low and selling high.
Correct.
It's actually a smart move.
The dumb money are those pouring hundreds of billions into the AI hype. This is .com bubble on steroids.
And sure, AI obviously is becoming an important market, but it will not be the current leaders who will dominate the tech. Like the internet, it's just too easy to catch up for competitors. Pouring $100B into AI today will only mean you lose out to the $1B startup in 2 years. The incumbents will go broke.
I remember the Russian military recruitment offices burning these past years, and their railroads getting sabotaged.
The western press proudly stated "this is what happens when you don't allow people to protest, they turn to sabotage".
But I guess this administration missed the memo.
My audience is people who are literate. You're just reading stuff into my comments that a reasonable person wouldn't.
And that's fine, you do your investment strategy. I'm happy with mine.
I would like to see it before I believe it.
Good luck though, hoping the Dems win.
(I am not a US voter, so I have no influence on the outcome)
I agree, especially since interest rates are currently relatively high, it's quite OK to remain liquid these days.
If you can't even understand that I am obviously not including things like stock splits, then I don't think my comment was intended for you.
Timing the exact top and bottom is impossible, but you can always sell at an all-time high and buy at a 52 week low.
Personally, I find it more effective for myself if I frame it in terms of "owning the most shares" instead of "making the most dollars".
If I started with 100 shares and now have 200 shares, I consider that a win, even if the 200 shares together are worth less than the 100 shares were at one time.
The point is to kill and torture these people. Calling them terrorists is a tried and true tactic.
They will call him Hamas whether he confesses or not and then say they killed another Hamas terrorist.
They would immediately nationalize Microsofts Europe operations and the crack would be an official patch signed and released by Microsoft Europe.
No sick ASCII art though.
Not all religions claim to know everything.
Yes, the ones that do tend to be violent and oppressive, so I understand the criticism.
But many religions are more about searching truth, learning to love each other and have community. And their followers definitely tend to be modest and have a "I don't know enough" mentality.
