BREAKING: Microsoft stock, $MSFT, falls -5% after announcing that its OpenAI license will now be nonexclusive and it will no longer pay revenue share to OpenAI.






The pain trade right now (imo) is a new all-time high. Based on what I'm seeing, a lot of very smart people are confidently positioned/prepared for lower. The consensus feels almost unanimous, "the market will go down from here." And maybe it does. But Walter Deemer said it best: "The stock market will do whatever it has to do to embarrass the greatest number of people to the greatest extent possible." Right now, the move that would cause the most pain isn't another leg down. Everyone's already braced for that. The real pain trade is missing a move up that nobody was positioned for. Including myself at the moment, haha. Not saying it happens. Just saying, when this many people are sure about the direction, that's usually when the market decides to do the opposite.
