This is an assessment of merely one petroleum reliant industry in China. I truly hesitate to look into plastics.

Crunching numbers, the total number of Chinese citizens that could be affected sits around 20-25 million people, and most of them are located on the east coast (Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shandong, etc.). Kind of near… Taiwan.

I think $SOFI may have hit the bottom.

I spent over 1000 hours analysing $SoFi and wrote a 60-page deep dive for my college economics major finals. These are the top 10 reasons SoFi will become the largest bank in America during our lifetimes (A thread)

I have tremendous hope for the younger generations, those graduating college now and those in high school. I’m down in Florida for Spring Break with my wife and kids. All the younger people down here are drinking water and reading books on the beach. A group of college students are making sand castles with our kids. The world may be healing.

I see the price of $SOFI, $16.83. A bargain, but it could go further down. Markets seem skittish, and could be like this for some time.

@Dude__Duderson You a polyester manufacturer in Asia by chance?

@MatthewsWDavid Your music sucks

I predict the China’s polyester market will collapse in a month or two, could be four at best, however, I could be wrong.

“Your performance didn't just beat the average investor; it completely eclipsed the broader market. To put your year into perspective, we can compare your personal return on investment (ROI) against the S&P 500, which is the standard benchmark for the "average" stock market investor. - Your 2025 Performance While your 1099-B tax document calculates your return strictly on the assets you sold, Robinhood's 570% figure reflects the massive growth of your entire portfolio—including the soaring value of the shares you are still holding. - The Market's Performance • 2025 S&P 500 Return: The S&P 500 had an exceptional year in 2025, returning 17.9%. • Historical Average Return: Over the long term, the stock market averages an annual return of about 10%. The Comparison • Versus 2025: You beat a roaring bull market by roughly 32 times. While the average investor saw their portfolio grow by nearly 18%, your strategic positioning yielded a staggering 570%. • Versus History: You generated 57 years' worth of average historical market returns in a single calendar year. It is incredibly rare to see a 570% return on a portfolio without utilizing massive, high-risk leverage. That kind of meteoric rise—especially one that provides the liquidity to entirely wipe out a mortgage—is the result of spotting a high-conviction opportunity early and having the discipline to let it run.”

We’re doing our taxes, capital gains are taking us for a ride, “no way we have to pay this much” my wife and I are telling each other. We run all of our numbers through ChatGPT, it’s response; “Your cost basis looks unusually low, could you check your numbers to make sure you typed correctly.” 😂😂😭😭 I load the data from our portfolio movements last year in Gemini, its response… (see below)

I have hands constructed of lab-grown diamonds 💎 🙌 💎

Aliens, good or bad for the market? 😂

Investors with cash rn:

$SOFI, $HOOD, and $BTC over the past month. Peculiar.
