@L.Lim:$Exxon Mobil(XOM)$ Trump decided to enter Venezuela for the oil, but Exxon's top dog made it sound like the situation would not as lucrative as what the us president paints it to be. With how old current infrastructure in Venezuela is, it would take significant capital to get things up to date and running, which would then take years to make a profit, considering the intention of the invasion was to keep oil prices low, and likely why Exxon does not seem quite eager.
After loosing there twice, to go in a third time without rock solid guarentees then the potential payoff would have to be worth the risk.
@daz999999999:$Exxon Mobil(XOM)$ U.S. President Donald Trump said on Sunday that he might block ExxonMobil from investing in Venezuela after the oil major's CEO sounded less than optimistic about the opportunity during a White House meeting last week. Every time Trump opens his mouth, a stock will either go up or down, well, this time it's Exxon Mobil (XOM) - bearish outlook for a long time then.
yeah XOM may benefit downstream along with other US oils but up front it is CVN//@koolgal:🌟🌟🌟It is still too early to tell what will happen to Venezuela but I believe that $Chevron(CVX)$ is uniquely positioned to benefit from the current US military action and potential change in Venezuela government. This is due to its long standing presence and existing joint ventures in Venezuela. Other US companies like $Exxon Mobil(XOM)$ have already left Venezuela a long time ago after its nationalisation. Chevron is the only US company with active oil operations in the country. @Tiger_comments

At least the President did not call the fed chair a "stiff" and more importantly has left him to do his job, which is a huge confidence boost for the dollar.
@Shyon:The latest rate cut feels like a textbook "dovish move wrapped in a hawkish message." On one hand, the Fed delivered the sixth cut since last year and the third consecutive meeting-based reduction, which clearly signals they're still leaning toward supporting growth. But on the other hand, the Dot Plot is sending a very mixed signal for 2026, with officials scattered across a wide range of expectations. When seven officials see no further cuts in 2026 while others expect up to 150 bps of easing, it tells me the Fed is deeply uncertain about the trajectory of inflation, labor markets, and long-term equilibrium rates. To me, the most important part isn't the extremes—it's the median. The fact that the median 2026 projection still shows just one more 25-bp cut makes the Fed sound more hawkish
Waiting and wondering if this is the begining of a deflating AI balloon. No burst, but overinflated balloon with leaks and filling the balloon of expectations is getting harder and harder. Running out of puff.
At some point AI is going to have to deliver for thr big spend. This has to be translated into financial transactions around other things in a stronger economy. Otherwise probably not tulips, but certainly those that move capital will look to refocus into safer dividend assets, like Walmart.

Social media is about "Look at mee everyone, look at what I am doing" This makes people feel empowered by just posting a few photos. This is what people are devoting a lot of time and money on. You also have to have the latest 2000 dollar phone to do this. This will not go away as it is based around attention seeking human behaviour which is natural. What people want is attention and that means hits and likes. This is what empowers them. I am doing this here but in written form. The attention vibe is the same.//@vuvence IX:AI will never replace human creativity, at best it will be a cover musician, perfecting things. At some point for say eg: WallMart, this investment has to result in people buying more stuff.
