DEI stands for Datacenter, Electricity and Infrastructure now

My friends ask me why I don't just buy our dream house now for $2-3M. I get the appeal, this is the finish line we were all told to chase growing up. Here's the trade nobody mentions. You don't just buy the house. You buy the mortgage that decides when you can quit. You buy the performance reviews you can't afford to bomb. You buy the Sunday night anxiety that comes with knowing a bad quarter at work changes everything. I'd rather have $3M sitting in the market. It buys the option to walk away from my job tomorrow. It buys time off whenever I want it. It buys the quiet in my own head when my boss sends a Friday afternoon email. The dream house is a nice view from a cage. In 10 years I can have both. Right now I only need the one that sets me free.

@BurggrabenH It’s honestly impressive

Cathie Wood literally missed the AI bubble.

@GrindeOptions It’s literally just back to the market open price

Can someone explain to me like I’m in elementary school as to why $MU and $AMD are falling off a cliff in the overnight market? 🤔

@gemchange_ltd I think I got poorer each additional paragraph I read

every unemployed guy with a group chat of equally unemployed friends swatch x ap "royal pop" drops saturday may 16 and this is the easiest 4-figure week you'll have all year if you're willing to do something that resembles work for 14 hours. let me lay out exactly what i'll do retail confirmed $300–500 range based on moonswatch ($260) and blancpain scuba ($400) precedent. in-store only, no online sales. swatch is officially limiting it to 1 piece per person per store per day, not 2. so your hustle is per-warm-body, not per-pair historical resale data on the predecessors - moonswatch launched march 2022 at $260. stockx avg trade $900 (250% over retail), peak Tiffany blue Uranus $1,040 avg, individual eBay listings hit $2,400 / 12x retail. ~2,000 trades in first 6 days - blancpain scuba launched sept 2023 at $400. chrono24 current asks $600–995 across colorways, two years post-launch. launch week premiums were 2–3x - snoopy moonphase $430 retail, 2024 - guy in singapore waited 15 hours, watch immediately traded $1,200+ royal pop is the biggest of the three by a country mile. AP has never done downward extension, ever. entry RO is $60k AUD. this is the first time swatch has used a brand they don't own. the cultural moment is bigger than moonswatch and the supply will be tighter because AP cares about brand dilution. realistic launch-day flip: $1,200–1,800 per piece on a $400 retail. that's $800–1,400 profit per warm body you put in line. you bring 3 friends, you clear $3k+ in a saturday. you bring 5, count urself not all stores are equal. swatch lists US POS: SoHo, Times Square NY, Aventura, Miami Beach, Orlando, Tampa, Atlanta, Charlotte, Nashville, Dallas, Houston, Austin, Denver, Las Vegas, Honolulu, King of Prussia, Garden City, Troy MI, Oak Brook IL, Canoga Park, Santa Clara. UK has 13 confirmed stores. global rollout is simultaneous saturday morning - avoid: SoHo, Times Square, Carnaby Street London, Ginza, Orchard Singapore. these are the moonswatch ground zero stores. snoopy line was 150 deep at 7am at ion orchard, people camped from 7pm previous day. carnaby had 5,000 people for moonswatch launch. you will not get a watch unless you're sleeping on the pavement thursday night - target: secondary US cities Oak Brook IL, Troy MI, King of Prussia PA, Garden City NY, Canoga Park, Honolulu, Charlotte, Nashville. same allocation as flagship stores in most cases, 5–10x less line pressure. dude in the fratello article literally walked into Salzburg with no line and bought any model he wanted while doha was a war zone. apply same logic - mall stores > street stores this is exactly the pirate black yeezy 350 dynamic from 2015. bugis+ in singapore: 1,058 people in line for 52 pairs, ballot system, $329 retail, immediate 3–5x flip. vancouver granville street 2019, dudes camping from noon thursday for friday morning drop. the tactics that worked then work now: - 1 watch per person per day is the rule. so you bring people. cousin, gf, gf's roommate, your buddy who owes you money. each warm body = +1 allocation. industry standard kickback is $100–200 cash same-day for them just to stand. that's a 90% margin you keep - the store rotation. rule is per-store per-day. drive between 2 mall stores 20 min apart, same person can buy at both. nobody enforces a national database. the AP collab will probably tighten this with wristbands or ID logging at flagships, but at troy MI nobody's running a database - the line audit. show up to your target store thursday at noon. count heads, photograph the line, do the math. if there's 80 people for what you estimate is 40 allocation, you're cooked, drive to your B-tier backup. don't waste sunrise on a dead store - the early-batch tail. swatch said sealed boxes are already being shipped to stores. some boutiques will get boxes opened tuesday/wednesday for staff display setup. they don't sell early but staff talks. walk in wednesday afternoon, ask politely how many they expect, what time staff arrives saturday. you'll get answers - the ssense/stockx hedge. list your watch on chrono24 / stockx / eBay literally the moment you walk out of the store at 11am saturday. the entire premium window is the first 72 hours. moonswatch hit peak resale day 3 and was halved by month 3. blancpain scuba premium decayed slower because mechanical movement + lower units. royal pop has both factors so the window is wider, but the parabolic peak is still 48–72 hours. don't be greedy past wednesday - the consignment dropout. if you can't queue, walk the line at 7am with cash. offer the 40th-in-line guy $300 cash on top of retail to swap places. people in lines that long start doing the math and some will take it. learned this from supreme drops, transfers cleanly to watches

@caseycraig If it’s not from the spot region of SF it’s just Sparkling Anthropic

“I’m buying spot Anthropic on the Solana blockchain” has to be one of the funniest phrases I’ve heard this week. There is nothing spot about this. Brother you are 4 layers of financial abstraction and broker crime away from touching an actual Anthropic share certificate. Your “spot” position is a tokenized receipt for possible future economic exposure to a Cayman SPV that owns shares in another Delaware SPV that maybe owns rights to future equity pending transfer approval. You are approximately Anthropic-adjacent at best

@iamgingertrash @Ace0fTrades @darrenv96 This is called gambling addition and poor risk management

@darrenv96 I have been wiped, many many many times From $10m -> 0, about ~3 times in my life It taught me one thing; Money is fake and gay Focus on what you care about Capital finds its way to you, when it senses your ability to respect it It is very much alive

My portfolio went from $350K at 27 to $7K at 32. Anyone else ever have to start over after being nearly wiped out? Glad I didn’t give up

@planert41 lol

$crbs might be an easy full port stock

@asklivermore How many miles that thing got on it

Bought a $93K Audemars Piguet watch today to celebrate the millions. Thank you $MU, $SNDK, $AMD, and $CRWV. Now we wait for nuclear and space for multi-millions again.

@AshtonForbes Who was filming

Unlabored acceleration requires constant momentum. That’s why the plane is flying in a straight line at a constant speed. Constant velocity keeps the de Broglie wave length the same, lowering the energy requirement for the jump. They literally wormholed a plane.

@itschrisray Been holding this for 5 years

Another big account adding $P to their portfolio… very excited for this name. 👀

@Bitcoin_Teddy What’s his income retard

A guy is 28. He has: • $80k in his 401k • $20k in savings • $30k Bitcoin • Zero debt But he wants to buy a $65k car He says “I have to enjoy my life” What would you tell him?

@DanielSmidstrup Race to secure economic moat

genuine question: AI was supposed to make us work less so why does it feel like everyone is working 10x more now?

@Dea_rMen No. Needs two monitors

MEN, please be honest! Would this be enough for you? Would you live comfortably?

@DeepIceValue Post your shorts

@LeftCurve_CFA It happened, ask burry

My selling price for: $AMZN - havent decided yet, but between $350-$400 $META - if the market stays the same, $900 $MSFT - $620 My buying prices for: $MU - below $100 $GOOG - $240, I would buy a lot $NVDA - $140, but would need even lower to go big.. $TSM - $260 would be very interesting.. $ASML - $800

@Samaytwt Define high

Unpopular opinion: 9-5 with a high salary is better than owning your own startups.
