It's not that surreal to believe that this move was an artificial market manipulation by a few big players. Just the right timing when you're in the room with the right people following a couple of big announcements and events could produce this effect. If one whale moves his assets the market can feel it. If there's a couple more like this the market could crash easily, with the ripple effect.
It's all good and dandy but the "real money" aren't such a great thing to accumulate wealth in either. Example, where I live, properties have been a huge investment market. For the seventh year straight they possess nothing but risks, damage and insurance losses, ever increasing taxes, regulatory pressure, and expenses. And they're considered to be a better way to preserve your money than the cash itself. Now, the cash itself is devaluing so fast that in NZ and OZ local dollar have become almost a joke. They devalued by almost 30-40% in the past decade. So whether you like crypto or not, it's easy to invest into, easy to move, has a huge border free market, and enormous capitalization. Use cold wallets, store your passphrases in the super safe places, don't use dodgy smart contracts, monit
Probably when Trump is gone there will be another market shake up. And if the USA is weakened by then, all Apple's government contracts and dependency on the protectionist system could hit them hard. If China keeps its technology pace Apple could find themselves in a double whammy by 2030. It's all speculation but they're certainly not as attractive and innovative as they used to be.
Trump is a bad news, always. And there will be no liquidity with his tariffs juggling. Until he is backed up by fanatics tariffs are here to stay. He's essentially a cult leader, whether you like it or not.
It looks like an internal sabotage of the country's own economy, with all due respect. Of course, those who are close to the "King" will benefit the most from it.
@JC888:No Govt No Reports. Oct 2025 Cut Still On ?
Will it ever stop? I don't think so, because we will need more of it very soon. And because it's so difficult to mine (generate) using current algorithms, wait until they'll get an upgrade. It'll push the Bitcoin prices even further.
It looks like that AI boom will require and consume even more resources each year. Which also will eventually put a significant strain on the energy sector. Funny thing we pushed for the EVs pretty hard to optimize the energy use. Now without the significant bump in the energy sector we will be limiting the AI and required technology advance. A truly vicious cycle.

I'm not a professional investor, quite the opposite. My goal in joining in and starting to play around with stocks and charts is exactly that - the study of the financial market. Because in the end it's all about money. It looks like $Meta Platforms, Inc.(META)$ is fully convinced that the virtual future is all about AI. I'm not exactly sure that they're too interested in human interaction besides collecting clicks and views. They're basically improving their Ads revenue gathering platform using the AI as a bait IMHO. Re the OpenAI it seems like they're expanding their products into social media and Instagram territory. The ability of the platform to generate and share great deep fakes is essentially an expansion into the quazy realistic univer
A bit worrying watching $Gemini Space Station, Inc.(GEMI)$ unable to take off, despite their massive backing and the overall hype around the IPO launch.
@KYHBKO:These are the worse performing stocks in the S&P500. Are these stocks to avoid or great companies with good discounts? Let us research before investing. For international investors, let's take into consideration the gradual devaluation of USD and factor in a margin for Forex. $UnitedHealth(UNH)$
The movie is great. Although, some women say that there's 'not enough Brad Pitt for them':) Apple jumping into F1 feels huge. The sport's global pull is real. Netflix already showed that. If the movie lands, it could be a big moment for Apple's film push. And yeah, the street race vibe is still a dream to me as I'm not in Singapore:)
