@weary_centurion Reminiscent of what happened to Yahoo

$PYPL This is ultimately why I sold PayPal It wasn’t the valuation it’s because I lost faith in the BOD after they axed Alex Chriss Diego Scotti and Michelle Gill were probably the highest achieving execs during Alex’s leadership Diego did amazing things with Venmo and Michelle managed to inflect SMBs back to growth I do not think it’s coincidental that they have departed As time goes on it seems more and more likely PayPal is going to be broken up and sold for parts It will probably work out ok for shareholders but it’s a painful reminder of what PayPal could have been if it was managed correctly and not neglected to the point of deterioration under Schulman I don’t think it would have mattered who the CEO was who took over in 2023, it was destined to fail. Nobody knew the full extent of the damage under the hood I also suspect there is an entrenched corporate culture there which is obstructive towards innovation and meaningful change A real shame

@Sensei0701 @ns123abc Because polymarket is a source for accurate information? Lol

@ns123abc As much as I like Elon, his case is becoming weaker day by day if one listened to the testimonies and the arguments made by the opposing lawyers (OpenAI’s and Microsoft’s). Polymarket also agrees.

🚨 NEW COURT FILING — OpenAI's own solicitation emails to Musk For three days, OpenAI's lawyer Savitt has been framing Musk as a founding donor who broke his pledges. Today Musk's lawyers filed the receipts to show what actually happened: Altman's October 2015 email to Elon Musk: > "As discussed I think starting with a $100MM commitment (and leaving the time unspecified) is the way to go..." Then the number: > "Can you donate $30MM over the next 5 years?" Musk responded: > "Let's discuss governance. This is critical. I don't want to fund something that goes in what turns out to be the wrong direction." Altman to Musk, a few months later: > "Can you do $20MM a year for the each of the next 3 years?" Musk delivered $38 million plus the office rent. Two and a half years after Musk left the OpenAI board, the asks resumed. July 22, 2020, OpenAI's CFO to Musk's family office: >"It would greatly help the nonprofit org if you're willing to assist with covering... landlord passthroughs and security costs." Musk agreed. He funded OpenAI's rent. Under California law, when a charity solicits and accepts donations, a fiduciary relationship forms between the person who asked and the person who gave. A legal duty to use the money for the declared charitable purpose. Altman and the CFO solicited. Musk donated. OpenAI accepted. Then converted the charity into an $852 billion company. The trust was breached.

@KobeissiLetter This is just very poor money management. Buy a lower priced vehicle. 🤦‍♂️

A growing number of Americans can no longer afford their car loans: A record 42.6% of underwater car buyers turned to an 84-month (7-year) loan to keep monthly payments manageable in Q1 2026. Being underwater means owing more on a car loan than the car is currently worth, resulting in negative equity. Rather than paying off the difference, many buyers roll this gap into their next loan, pushing themselves deeper into debt. This percentage has DOUBLED since 2016 and is on track for its 3rd consecutive annual increase. Buyers with negative equity financed an average of ~$56,000 for a new car in Q1 2026, ~$12,000 more than the average new vehicle buyer. As a result, their average monthly payment rose to $932, the highest on record. In March, car loan default rates jumped to their highest since 2010. Auto-loan distress is surging.

@Jeff_sixKings @BarackObama You sir, have the intelligence of a dog.

This is what happens when you elect a piece of shit like trump who appoints white supremacists to the court. When we take Congress & the Presidency in 2028, we must expand the court by 4. Not doing this in 2020 was the 2nd biggest mistake Biden & Democrats made. Biggest mistake was not putting trump in jail.

Today’s Supreme Court decision effectively guts a key pillar of the Voting Rights Act, freeing state legislatures to gerrymander legislative districts to systematically dilute and weaken the voting power of racial minorities - so long as they do it under the guise of “partisanship” rather than explicit “racial bias.” And it serves as just one more example of how a majority of the current Court seems intent on abandoning its vital role in ensuring equal participation in our democracy and protecting the rights of minority groups against majority overreach. The good news is that such setbacks can be overcome. But that will only happen if citizens across the country who cherish our democratic ideals continue to mobilize and vote in record numbers - not just in the upcoming midterms or in high profile races, but in every election and every level.

Unless it's a "planned ladder" entry I can think of very few times I've added to a loser and it's actually worked out. You level up once you learn how to add to winners. It's not easy.

@TheValueTrade Yup.

So basically it now $ETH time!

The illiquidity factor could pose a problem, it’s a crack in the foundation. But when the Fed increases monetary supply by trillions, as the world becomes increasingly digital…this money naturally flows into equities. Stock-Market-Cap to GDP is obviously going to increase, and it’s not problematic. It’s just a function of having more cash, and finding an easy place to store it.

Paul Tudor Jones says the US is more dependent on equity prices than ever, and explains what a 35% correction would trigger in the economy: "We're 252% of stock market cap to GDP. In 1929 we were 65%. In 1987 we got to ~85-90%. In 2000, 170%. If you think about the periodicity of significant bear markets. Since 1970, we get a mean reversion about every 10 years. Let's say mean revert to the past 25 or 30-year PE. That would be a 30, 35% decline. Well, 35% on 250% of GDP is 80, 90% of GDP. 10% of our tax revenues are capital gains, they go to zero. So you can see the budget deficit blowing up. You can see the bond market getting smoked. You can see this kind of negative self-reinforcing effect. In the stock market, we're over-equitized as a country. We have the highest individual equity weightings in the history of the country. And then the real problem is if you look at private equity in 2007-2008, that was about 7% of institutional portfolios. Now it's about 16% of the institutional portfolios. We're so much more illiquid than we were in 2008. The problem is that if you buy the S&P at this current valuation, the 10-year forward return is negative when you buy the S&P with a PE of 22. That's what history shows. So yes, the S&P is spectacular long-term, if you have a hundred-year view. But that's because that's an average of a hundred years, including times when the S&P 500 PE was 6, 7 and 8, or one third of what it is right now. Valuation matters a lot, and the stock market's really high and it's gonna be really hard to make money from here with any kind of long-term view."

@cantonmeow 🤞🏻

We're still soooo early into a bull market It’s OK to just DCA There may or may not be pullbacks You haven't seen anything yet People don’t think things would go straight up anymore Just stay vigilant for now

@AltcoinSherpa $MORPHO

we've had a few good coins that have ran strong straight from TGE but sadly these have become fewer and fewer over the last several years. The only 1s I can really think about semi recently(That werent totally crime filled) were: $ONDO $TIA what others am I missing?

@1991Wolfpack @StockSavvyShay Cheering for a mega corp to crush a small cap company, way to go man. Congrats on being an asshole.

@StockSavvyShay Good riddance to $HIMS.

$AMZN just launched a national GLP-1 weight-loss program. Injectable treatments start at $299 per month while oral options start at $149 per month.

@Crypto_R0D Why, because you drew a fractal?

Remove the noise, this is the only chart you need for the coming months. $BTC

@TheProfInvestor 🎯

People be like: Market drops - fuckin Trump is so stupid Market pumps higher- fuckin Trump controlling the market you hate losing money you hate making money go figure

@jarruda35 @scooperon7 @MassGovernor Pretty sure no one has ever said it was “free energy”, not even the dems.

@scooperon7 How much did this "free" energy cost Massachusetts taxpayers ? @MassGovernor

Toppled Turbines: those wind turbines on 128 in Gloucester have been dismantled and no longer dot the landscape of this seaside community…city leaders felt it was time for them to go after various problems over the years including a blade that fell off #7News

@Grex83168908 @unusual_whales I’m not a boomer.

@OceanMan_CCB @unusual_whales Boomer take

"Gen Z and millennials are burnt out because older generations worked just as hard, but they ‘had hope.'" per Suzy Welch in FORTUNE

@DiaTSLAPLTR @unusual_whales A $1000 payment back in the 70s was easily far more than a $3000 payment today. And rates will drop again, and gen z will take advantage. Your position is predicated on a guess, and a lack of understanding.

@OceanMan_CCB @unusual_whales 16% on a $80k house is a $1,000 payment. 7% on a $450k house is $3,000. Rates dropped for Boomers and they refinanced Gen Z doesn’t get 40 years of tailwind to bail them out.

@IncomeSharks This is why I prefer to pair the confluence of higher highs and higher lows (or vice versa) when monitoring OBV.

Unusual to see tech stocks about to make all time highs with OBV sitting near 2025 April lows. A complete deviation from it typically following it.

@IncomeSharks OBV also lagged behind the April 2025 reversal. Just sayin’

First time the S&P 500 has made an ATH without OBV. Either the move was so bullish it broke it, or it's a massive warning sign.

@DiaTSLAPLTR @unusual_whales Boomers bought houses with 16% interest rates on their mortgage.

@unusual_whales Boomers bought homes at 2x median income that same home costs 6x today, . Same hours, half the purchasing power. That’s not a hope gap, that’s a math problem.

@Mr_Derivatives Best idea ever.

Ya. Cool. Great. But can we increase the write off from $3,000 to $25,000 now? PDT from 25k to 2k. Annual loss write off from 3k to 25k. Do it. PS: There’s always that one guy that says it doesn’t matter because I never had a losing year. Shut up.
