I'm freezing my credit tomorrow. Couldn't find the link Lewdog posted awhile back so came up with this one.

Thanks for posting. I should probably do that.

Freeze your kids credit too, they’re the easiest targets.

Here's one from Google search

According to a post from a cybersecurity expert on X, formerly Twitter, USDoD claims to be selling the 2.9 billion records for citizens of the U.S., U.K. and Canada on the dark web for $3.5 million.

Since the information was posted for sale in April, others have released different copies of the data, according to the cybersecurity and technology news site Bleeping Computer.

A hacker known as "Fenice" leaked the most complete version of the data for free on a forum in August, Bleeping Computer reported.

****ing WOW!

Interesting.

Financials don't look terrifying. Any idea why they ate shit so bad? I mean everything did, but almost 60% is a lot. Was it just their Q42023 sales decline?

Looks like a pretty good play to me.

Q2 performance wasn't great and I think that coupled with panic selling. They continue to gain market share, however. Once growth catches up, the valuation should fall in line.

Anecdotally, I see the shit everywhere. Market is crowded but they seem to have a critical mass.

They got Pepsi distribution a few years back by giving up equity. I thought they'd be bought out completely by now. That chart looks like a rollercoaster ride drop. Looks like they poisoned a shit ton of ppl

Bought AIRI right before opening expecting it to take off. Volume kind of dwindled and price was coming back down so sold half for a 5% gain and the other half for a 2% gain. A few minutes after dumping it, it took off. Ooops.

He made 2 to 5 percent, so that's still a win. Kind of.

Epic day today. I love days like today. It worked out well because I had a nearly unprecedented credit card bill this month, and I was still able to easily gain in net worth.

Lots of red today. What's happening?

It seems like the market massively overreacts to every bit of news that points toward a slowdown.

I saw an article today where some random investment banker said, "This is a data-driven market right now," and I agree. Every day produces some random report that's a small part of the big picture, and every day the market acts like that random report is a revelation of the future.

I just think there's not much going on right now. We're up a lot. There's elections and we'll see if the economy holds up in the 4th q. Wait to see if AI starts to really make productivity boosts and profits for anyone not selling the hardware. I think that might take some time.
