@ResearchSfl @ramit Fck society its taken enough from me. Its going to my kids. And it wont be much
English
I asked a couple their net worth:
Julie: "If you include our primary residence, it's in the ballpark of 12 million."
Ramit: "Have you ever said that number out loud?"
Julie: "No, it makes me really uncomfortable."
Ramit: "How would you describe yourself socio-economically?"
Julie: "Upper middle class."
Tom: "Take out the upper part and you're right."
At $12 million, she describes them as "upper middle class." He thinks they're "middle class."
Why do you think wealthy people find it so difficult to describe themselves as wealthy?

@MayadeenEnglish The UAE hasn't made any or many public statements. Just quietly keeping things quiet, Why is that?
English
Professor Mohammad Marandi delivers a stark warning to the #UAE and its rulers, saying its alignment with "Israel" and role in the war on #Iran "will no longer be tolerated."
Marandi told #AlMayadeen that the geopolitical landscape is shifting, and the UAE should “behave like a normal country and mind its own borders and its own business” or face serious consequences.

@bstewartny @ramit That’s me. There’s so much to do. A number is just a number, much of it has to go back to society.

@ramit Mental issues. I know a guy worth 50-60 million, in his 60s, and tells me he isnt sure he can retire. Not sure if he will really have enough long term. My only conclusion is that he is somehow mentally deficient

IRAN'S UPDATED 10-POINT PROPOSAL AS PER THE NYT:
1. Permanent end to the war, no temporary ceasefire.
2. No future attacks on Iran, wants U.S. and Israeli guarantees.
3. No Israeli strikes on Hezbollah, including in Lebanon.
4. Lift all sanctions, full sanctions relief.
5. End regional fighting, not just attacks on Iran.
6. Reopen the Strait of Hormuz, Iran would end its blockade.
7. Safe-passage rules in Hormuz for ship movement.
8. Charge about $2 million per ship, transit fee instead of direct compensation.
9. Split the fees with Oman, shared proceeds.
10. Use Iran’s share for reconstruction to rebuild damaged infrastructure.
Well...as unreasonable as these demands may seem to the US...they are talking, which is bullish?
If the US counters this and tries to find something in the middle, for example, "give up your nukes and we will let go of some sanctions," then maybe a deal is closer than people think but it will take some serious negotiating since both sides are so apart on every issue.

@matthew_sigel This is outstanding analysis thank you. Companies can’t succeed when they are lead by bad management. And Mara has some of the worst.
English
1) Lead director touted as "fintech" exec. $MARA is not a fintech company.
2) Janet George's "large-scale AI acquisition" experience consisted of being General Manager of the Intel division that bought Granulate (who?) for $650M. Less than three years later, Intel shut the business down. I'd call that a failure.
3) Vicki has expertise in scaling businesses and "inclusivity". I don't see the relevance.
4) Barbara left Siemens but still CEO of USAR (US Rare Earth, mkt cap $3b). $2M of revenues supports a $3B market cap. This is not the experience $MARA needs.

$MARA - Management KPIs are finally tracking ARR instead of hash rate, and the balance sheet is normalizing. Next hurdle is fixing the unimpressive Board of Directors: The seven-member board is too small/insular for a $3.5B pivot. We need to expand and cut the deadweight: a) Janet George (Mastercard EVP of "AI"): Focuses on fintech "Agentic Commerce." Useless for 100MW HPC infrastructure deals. (Locked until 2027) b) Barbara Humpton (Retired Siemens): Ex-CEO with zero current juice to jump turbine supply lines. Legacy prestige won't fix power bottlenecks or help find customers. (Locked until 2027) c) Vicki Mealer-Burke (Ex-Qualcomm Chief Diversity Officeer): Diversity Officers don’t mine blocks or build infra on time / on budget. MARA needs technical grit, not HR-centric optics and DEI fluff. (VICKI IS UP FOR ELECTION THIS JUNE. Shareholders should vote NO.) d) The 5-Year Failure: Vets Jay Leupp & Georges Antoun have overseen an 80% stock collapse since 2021. They’ve sat on audit/comp while shareholders bled. They are locked until 2028. The Problem: MARA uses a Classified Board, meaning you can't fire them all at once. That creates a shield of mediocrity: The Solution: A Two-Pronged Attack --> >VOTE NO on Vicki Mealer-Burke in June: Send a clear message that "Diversity & Culture" experts have no place on the board of a struggling infrastructure firm. >EXPAND THE BOARD NOW: Do not wait for the staggered terms to expire. Add at least one new seat ASAP. Active Power Traders or HPC Engineers preferred. Less ESG, more MW. $MARA

@Schweino68 What about separating earnings/MW from HPC and mining?

In a CNBC interview Tom Lee said:
1. Stock market usually bottoms 10% into a war. World War 2 was 5 years, the market bottomed 5 months into the war
2. Now, the risk reward is good for stocks.

*US PLANNING FOR POTENTIAL STRIKES ON IRAN ENERGY TARGETS: WSJ
English
@amitisinvesting He'll get his fake victory then onwards to clarity act.
English
okay so
who actually thinks Trump is getting ready to attack energy infrastructure on Tuesday?
if he does...not sure how that won't increase oil prices and create more volatility
if he doesn't and extends the deadline...markets probably would like it
WSJ reporting that the admin is getting targets ready for an attack, but then you have Trump saying negotiations are going very well this morning
you either buy if you think there's a TACO or stay on the sidelines if you think he might actually attack...but man this has nothing to do with fundamentals anymore, it's all just following headlines
