I held oil through all of Trump's bullshit only to sell at a -35% loss after Iran said they would open the strait.
I fucking hate how bad I am at timing everything. I always get it wrong, no matter if I do what I think it's right or if I go against my instincts.

Something really weird happened to me today.
I had sex with my wife last night. Then we went to sleep and I was constantly thinking about oil prices going up. Somehow I had a dream where I met a white woman and had sex with her but then instantly regretted it because I thought I cheated on my wife, I couldn't get away from her because we had to stay in the same room or something and I felt really bad about it and there was massive sexual tension between us.
After that I went to sleep and woke up in my own bed and realized that it was just a dream and I didn't cheat on my wife with a white woman. But right now it feels like I did have sex with that white woman. She was a solid 5 out of ten. It feels like it happened but I know it didn't.

Last week I realized $2500 profit from short-term QQQ calls. In the same session, I also paid $2500 more for more short-term (expires after 4 trading days) calls, increasing my leverage even further.
So, in the end I'll be slightly net negative? Because I won't sell them early eating a 80% loss if the probability is high that this escalation has no teeth. But they might expire worthless.

not sure of the best ways to play earnings
can you buy options weeks ahead & sell them the day before to profit from more volatility? is that how that could work?

That’s already baked in. Options will be losing value up to earnings because of time decay mainly. A popular strategy for harvesting earnings volatility is a calendar spread. You sell the near term and buy the same option dated further out. It profits if the option you sold gets crushed harder than the one you bought.
>>
>>62131701
There's a fairly limited amount of available oil left in those fields.
Also, the UK is now on a new hot path to re-bond as closely as possible with the EU. Which is far more likely to increase climate control measures than it is to decrease them.

that's not true at all IV tends to increase the week of earnings. If you have strong conviction in an earnings beat you want to buy calls 2 or 3 weeks before earnings. I rode PL calls from 2.5 to 11 after last earnings.
You can also sell csp the week of esp on major players that often tank -10% on release only to mostly recover the nexxt day but there's probably some math nerd with a bunch of fag words about why not do that

pretty nice...
i just wonder how much the drop in IV after release really matters, assuming you predicted whether up/down correctly
how much does it eat into the profits?
i guess not enough to matter if the price goes up/down significantly

its got to beat beyond the predicted IV move to cash out. The value of options drop at next open as IV is repriced if it doesn't open outside of what IV was pricing in. At least that's what I understand but i'm kind of retarded.
I'm too retarded to make any habit out of playing earnings, I just happened to see an opportunity with PL due to their previous performances and cooperation with the USMIC during the Iran SMO

He's a duplicitous tit. For many reasons.
But one example is literally a couple of weeks ago he was talking about rejoining the EU (which will increase climate controls) and it was himself (this labour government) that introduced the ban on new drilling permits a year and half or so ago and here he is now complaining about high energy costs and how they're going to "fix" that.

that's not what an LLM is obviously

>If the beaches of the AI future are really covered in diamonds like debris and gold you pick right off the trees, then where is the transformative medical/physics discovery?
computer vision seems inevitably able to robustly automate a lot of medical shit, and probably other tasks in the world
not LLMs but are neural networks, so they're under the same umbrella & both rely on similar hardware

those sort of problems are just very tedious problems, though, right? not really "discoveries" as such?
there were similar systems which designed weird-ass optimized shapes for fusion reactors a few years ago

There's nothing stopping them churning through palletes of bioassays and chemical reactions.
The pharmaceutical industry already does this just at a slower rate. They also don't tend to create entirely novel things, they tend to iterate on something that already exists or at least is already known to science.
It's even true if art. A lot of artists iterate on other people's songs or image themes and styles.

that's fair but you could say the same about a search engine
it's significant, i'm not saying it's useless, i just think there's something missing from the idea of an actual autonomous intelligence making new discoveries, and this will always be a limitation of LLMs
>The pharmaceutical industry already does this just at a slower rate. They also don't tend to create entirely novel things, they tend to iterate on something that already exists or at least is already known to science.
fair
i could see how it might be useful for that, wish i knew more about pharma shit
>It's even true if art. A lot of artists iterate on other people's songs or image themes and styles.
perhaps
for the comparison to a search engine, i think they could certainly help a person with some clear direction/ideas reach a discovery much faster than they would otherwise
quickly getting an overview of a bunch of disparate information seems very helpful
a good LLM with the right dataset might be a step above a search engine for certain tasks, but search engines will always have their place & i'm say they're getting bricked...
>>
>>
>>62131851
>LLMs are better than most people here lol.
it's dumb to compare them to people like i said
that's like "an engine is better than most people here" like what the fuck are you on about
>ask people here a question and they yell "retard". they hallucinate more than LLMs also.
true but it's much harder to tell if/when an LLM is bullshitting you, unless you double-check everything it says, which costs some productivity for the user
>>
the comparison to AI is only for the sake of scaring retards and governments into getting on board, but it's completely misleading to how the technology actually works, and only leads to getting tripped up
i'm not trying to FUD or whatever i'm just telling you how the shit should be thought of
>>
>>
>>62131865
>it's much harder to tell if/when an LLM is bullshitting you
That's only because people currently assume that because it's a computer, it's always correct. And the current models are designed for large scale user interaction in a general sense.
I mean a comparable example is if someone walked into a room and there were several people in there that they believed where all totally above board PhD chemists and doctors, they'd tend to just automatic believe them even if they can out with some fairly whacky stuff.
One interesting example of it is whether or not anywhere here could actually legitimately say for sure whether they think a LLM is responding to them in the thread or not. The reality at this point is they can't.

>this will always be a limitation of LLMs
Ina similar manner, humans are limited by only being able to process information in a purely classical sense, at a biological, neuronal level; i.e. there's currently no known mechanism (or expected to be one) for a human or animal brain to function in a quantum state, because the conditions don't exist to create one inside someone's body.
That's not true for an AI system though. It's almost a given that they'll be augmented with some level of quantum processing ability within the next ten to twenty years. Which will make them an entirely unique thing in terms of information processing. Regardless of what the outcomes of that are.

I am not doubting for a second that AI plays directly into managements hubris in thinking that they are very much (DIRECTLY) responsible for a companies success instead of being indirectly responsible by creating the culture via hiring/firing, that they really believe it is their genius direction which reaps results instead of in spite of it, and that now management can simple get rid of the drones.
But in reality this is not the case, the opposite is true in fact.

I think AI is also often an excuse to dump full time employees and shift work to cheap contractors. They can say that AI allows the contractors to accomplish the same or more work than the existing employees, even if it doesn't in practice.
More often than not the people making these decisions dont actually care about the quality of work, they just want to wring short term gains out of the company before they leave without making it obvious thats what theyre doing.

The same is currently true of the robotics hype and it being hype. Currently.
I mean as a for instance, there's absolutely no point buying a fleet of massively expensive, beta testing mode, clumsy, battery intensive robots to move items from point A to B in a factory when a conveyor belt with a pneumatic sliding arm or vacuum picker upper could do the same thing five times faster for one tenth the price; 24/7, year round.
The smartest thing Amazon could do would be to just have some big overhead gantry thing that can pick the products up and load them on pallets on the back of a hgv with a removable cover. Like one of those grabber machines in an arcade.

I cannot understand why bears exist. How stupid do you have to be not to realize that in the 21st century the stock market cannot crash. IT LITERALLY DOESN'T WORK THAT WAY. With not only the US but a sizeable chunk of the world staking their retirements on it, with the elites dependent on it for obtaining credit against their valuations, with humanity on the cusp of a technological revolution the stock market can only move up. Yet there are bears betting against it and losing, time and again quoting their shitty obsolete literature that stopped being relevant half a century ago. The stock market in 2026 is a surefire way to multiply your wealth, a vast reservoir of economic advancement you only need to tap into to better your life.
This post is the best advice you've read on /biz/. Yet it is pearls before swine and the retard bears who insist on betting against themselves and losing money.
So be it. Enjoy being LOSERS and your sad, fucked up lives.

Guys I’m scared. What if the second round of talks don’t go well, and Trump does bomb Iran’s core infrastructure?
I’m sure he wouldn’t do it all at once, it will be phased.
Markets would still react very badly, as it might be the start of a new refugee crisis and a perceived energy crisis.

Realistically anon there is only one asset with zero counterparty risk and which has zero regulatory risk of the government intervening to devalue it should it rival the dollar and drain liquidity- in fact they are constantly working to inflate the the price.
Question is, you a real one or nah?

never forget that iran is basically a 4th world country with a really high literacy rate. their collage education is basically at best what you would expect from someone with a high school degree in the west. on top of that they are fanatic, religious fundamentalists. thats the kind of people the west is trying to make a deal with it. imagine trying to argue with a child who is driven by emotions. just saying, keep that in mind.

He will bomb a few bridges which creates great problems in a country where it almost never rains (they will just drive across the dry river beds). Even mentioning "bridges" in the context of the sandbox tells me he's preparing to not hit them hard.
What he would do to solve the problem for real, is hit the IRGC navy bases on the islands and coasts of the Strait of Hormuz. Hunt down their fast boats, drone launchpads one by one. Do some electronic warfare to triangulate the radio stations they use to bully the passing ships, and take them out ffs.

If the shortages don't do anything that effects normies this week I'm going back in. Luckily I sold almost the top 6 weeks ago so I haven't missed a lot yet. Gas near here is back under $4 again which seems unlikely with a physical shortage. It's not like gas companies care about how hard they rape us at the pump.

MSFT is on the verge of collapse. No one is happy with it anymore. Customers are pissed that Azure and the products are so unstable lately, shareholders are pissed the company has no direction and continues blowing money on AI stuff, leadership is pissed that no one below them can do anything right, and the employees in the middle and bottom are pissed that priorities change every few weeks and that everything is falling apart. The only people happy with MSFT are the pajeet employees who are just happy to have a job and a visa.

As a med european, to me American taste on women is weird as shit. Women that would be seen as goddesses here are seen as just above average there while women that you wouldn't even turn your head for here are considered sex symbols there.
I've read that this is common when the two races are very different, because people generally like novelty and overrate the appeareance of races they are less used to seeing around, but it happens with white women as well so idk.

The kobussy letter is designed to pump 100% pure turd world copium into gay bear veins. My personal theory is that it's secretly run by Israelis who take the other side of their positions to make money off of retards, but I don't think making a few hundred bucks off retards that watch Jiang videos all day is worth it. Good humiliation ritual though, so maybe they're not doing it for the money.

The argument is this:
The pump so far has been unjustified nonsense.
The market does not need justification to pump.
It will continue up even though common sense says it should go down.
It's just that easy.

>but for giga exhange listed corpos to abandon the search for tiny gains in speed/throughput by eliminating non bottom line/customer facing people to implement sloppier stuff fast for cash now is a silly move.
Those kinds of corporations have been doing this for over a decade now by offshoring work to india and south east asia, and the industrial titans from pre-tech times did the same by offshoring manufacturing to china.
If it makes short and medium term sense, the corporations will do it, long term consequences be damned.

Just look at the list of highest market cap european companies. It is almost all infustrial titans from the post-ww2 era. Europe has missed the boat on industrializing every technological innovation since the 1980s. Why the fuck would anyone invest on this continent?
Also
>highest quality of life in the world, great public services and negligible wealth inequality
As other anons said, wealth inequality is low because the system is made to force everyone into roughly the same income and quality of life.
That's alright when the quality of life is good or at least improving, but it is falling off a cliff across the entire continent.
Same goes for the public services which are all getting way worse and are veibg maintained by taking in debt at a pace that everyone knows is not sustainable but no one wants to be the ones to stop it.
Europe has 10ish good years left until governments start being forced to choose between painful solutions to deal with the issues that aren't being adressed at the moment.
America is an ultra capitalist corporate hellscape with no safety nets, but it is still the "land of opportunity". There's always some way you can climb up the socioeconomic ladder until you are shielded from most of the bad parts of the country.
In Europe, if the ship goes down, you go down with it. There's no way out unless you are old money or part of the political class.

Is the half a mill from inherittance or from your income? If the latter, then just slug it out for 5 or so years and retire somewhere cheap or get a more chill lower paying job to pay the bills while your 2-ish millions compound.
