How about nobody? US is definitely not benefiting from this mess that they created for themselves, driving oil prices up to July highs. And Iran trading relations with its partners are negativelynimpacted by this prolonged conflict.  This conflict has strained on inter-relation ties between different countries too, causing a divide and for individual countries to think about their own interests before others.  So the longer this conflict drag on, its just going to increase the burden on a macro perspective. And nobody is going to emerge as a winner.  @PawsAndProfits - Specialist in combining

Are they still controling the AI narrative, or other competitors are druming up the competition? The first attachment shows an illustration of the possible phases in the AI adoption cycle.

Like seriously, this is increasingly looking like a high school affair, such childish behavior. There are more pressing issues like the conflict with Iran which he created in the first place, curbing rising inflation pressures and maintaining good trading/political ties with the rest of the world, which Trump administration already threw out of the window. I am not sure how long this bottleneck of pressure could hold, but I do know once its breaks, it is going

It has capability to control your whole computer system for you, automating all the programs you have. This will improve efficiency and any nagging issues with processing of apps. However, this means you are subjecting the information on your computer to a third party AI model, who knows what it will do with it. So the issue with privacy and PDPA actually will deter me from using this. From the beginning of the year, two AI companies are thrusted to the forefront, OpenAI and Anthropic. They are seen as the frontrunners in this rat race, and most optimistic to IPO at end of 2026 o

So the latest job number is optimistic, with more jobs created as compared to market estimates. However, if you do a deep dive, most of the jobs are generated by the private sector, casting a shadow of optimism and hope. As quoted in the first article, this is no hiring boom.  So will this drum up the pressure for the fed to increase rates on top of accelerating inflation rates? Lets see how this plays out.[Bless]   @PawsAndProfits - Specialist in combining FA and TA for Options selling and Swing trading.[666]

However, do align your rationale and conviction accordingly. You are trading based on a single cylical move, and not based on a mid - long term outlook, or taking into account the intrinsic value of TSLA.  I do not condone or disagree with trading during a cylical event, but you have to make your reasons of entry clear so that it is not conluded with other belief systems u have.

So what a typhoon week, with NVDA earnings announcement and Warsh first press conference outside of fed rate announcement. Still adoping a conservative and dodging approach when it comes to forward guidance and future predictions. Market clearly did not like the speech, turning red right after his speech ended. With so much conflict and turmoil happening in the world right now, I definitely empathize with him as it is definitely as challenging as ever to navigate these choppy waters. And as you can see in the last article, social security funding in US is depleting at a rapid rate, which puts further pressure on the shoulders of younger generatio

With the meeting with Xi and Trump coming up soon, does Trump really wants to burn the bridge and worsen the ties between both countries even before its mended or built? And the tariff war between US and Canada has officially started, with Mark Carney announcing 50% reciprocal tariffs after negotiations broke down. Canada has always approach this situation with good faith, but I think it has come to a crossroad whereby enough is enough, you will never be able to negotiate with a tyrant like Trump. So with al
