Investing megathread extravaganza

[DaFace]

A place to talk about investing stuff.

Nice day to make money.

[Rain Man]

If anybody needs me, I will be setting myself on fire and jumping off of a tall building. Just look for the flames.

Weeeeeee

Nikkei down 12% yesterday. Nikkei back up 10.5% now. That was a pretty wild deleveraging event. A lot of stuff had to find its way to cash seemingly yesterday.

Huge moves on many US tickers today too.

Dead cat bounce or true short term bottom? This week will tell!

Wait.

So Nvidia downloads 80 years of video from copywritten sources PER DAY? And obviously paid nothing for it...

yeesh. That might not be great.

It's becoming a problem at all ends of the spectrum. I've blocked 3 different bots at the ChiefsPlanet server level this year because they're just leeching content like crazy. Back when things were crawling here in February or so, I looked, and one IP address had used up about a third of our bandwidth for the month.

Obviously we're a drop in the bucket compared to the situation in the article, but it's definitely shitty that these places can just leech content, costing their hosts money, and profit from it without any compensation to the actual source.

Hilariously, there is an ad for a shitty old grain drill - probably on Big Iron or something - on my PC.

That looks more than a little odd on a PC Gamer site.

Yeah, it's shitty. I think I read the NYT and NEWSMAX or something licensed their copyrights to Open AI.

It was a lot of money for me, but I thought it wasn't 1% enough for the entire product library of a national company. Especially for licensing it to a company that may or may not be low key trying to displace you.

I understand it was gross revenue without COGS so it went straight to the bottom line on the earnings call, but godDAMN.

So there is precedent for these companies paying for it. I didn't know Nvidia was doing any training.

Anyone put any money in reddit? They just released their second earnings and they are very good. No after market jump but is there a reason this shouldn't be a long term hold?

I thought about it and maybe I should.

I listen to the prof G markets podcast and that dude laid out a pretty good case for it. They have incredible traffic numbers, and they just have to get the ad sales structure right. Which isn’t nothing but it isn’t the hard part. Plus it looks like they’re not falling into the tech bro trap of spending out the ass and eating huge losses to “grow”.

I’d hang onto it.

The big risk is if they lose 230 protection for content. If there gets to be smoke for that I’d dump it.

I didn’t think they’d have positive earnings so I stayed out. But if there are earnings it’s probably an OK hold.

When you guys sell a significant amount do you immediately set aside 12% for taxes (assuming long term gains) or reinvest it and deal with it at tax time?

I kind of wanted to, but I can never really get into IPOs until after the big fish have made their money. So I never do IPOs.

Honestly, I never think about the act of paying taxes. I plan around them, but I just cover them from cash unless it's so much that I have to set money aside.

It all depends on your cash situation. If it's going to be a problem, do it. If you can swing it without, it's better to be in the market, typically. But yeah, you don't want to be a forced seller in April.

My taxes are variable so I don't.

The daily swings on tickers has been nothing short of crazy. Even the indexes are swinging wildly each day.
