I've been meaning to start this thread for a long time. I'm not exactly sure what to call it, so if you have a better name for the thread let me know; but the purpose is to discuss all things in the financial world.

The name is fine. As long as we don't talk about Elon Musk  . Nah, he is OK also. he does a lot of good, he just does it in some wacky ways. So, pipeline cancelled. Next fossil fuel move, and next "alternative energy" move? Don't forget coal is sitting out there, wondering what is next. |

The recent criticisms of Elon investing in Bitcoin is that he has run out of investment opportunities within his own corporation. I don't know if that's true, but his influence is undeniable, as there are now many other corporations ready to accept cryptocurrencies. I've been debating a crypto play, but I'm too askeered.  |

I know very little about bitcoin, except the why and the application and significance of it.. I have delekkerste and (hold your temper everybody)Comic Connoisseur to thank for the education of all things crypto. I am not a stock market investor in any manner, but immensely enjoy learning about the various strategies and reasons for same.
Elon Musk is a fascinating person, and yes, his influence is like a hammer hitting a watermelon, to me. Remember the watermelon destroyer commedian? that is Musk in the stock market world. He sure shakes up the stock market. He plays both parts in the cowboy movies, white hat and black hat. He is loved or hated depending on who benefitted from his wackiness on any given day.
I agree there is a perception, and probably more than truth, that he peter-pauls' his holdings/companies/investment strategies. But he is a lot of fun to follow, like a good daytime drama.

mas mut has been involved in shady deals ever since bill clark and his ripemalloff retirement funds, and roger crandall kept it going with funding tremont, which was nothing but a feeder for the madoff ponzi scheme. so they paid 3.5 bil to settle. think that is a deterrent for these pitas? nope. so here we are.
not to mention trashing almost 2 million working stiffs with the bs move to healthcare, another planned dismal failure.
isn't it wonderful their world vision of partnering and investing? hong kong? for what? another hidden scheme?

It's a good day to be in Semiconductor equipment stocks.  Yesterday after market close, AMAT beat analyst expectations for its fiscal first quarter and guided higher for the current period. Analysts expected $1.28 a share on sales of $4.97 billion, AMAT reported $1.39 a share on sales of $5.16 billion. This morning AMAT is currently up 8.34%. LRCX is currently up 3.75%, KLAC is currently up 3.49%. |

The congressional hearing on game stop yesterday was funny as hell. Oufr fine representatives mad asses of themselves, making stuff up, using the wherefors and therofs, until they were blue in the face, because they don't have a clue about what happened, why it happened or why they were there.
It sounded great, though.
I thought Randal was speaking.

Is it fact that the rare earths that are being withheld by Red China have a serious impact on the F35 (and other important stuff) and how does the stock market handlesuch situations in pricing, and what segment does it impact? |

I haven't been following the issue for awhile. But last time I checked, it was simply a threat without much behind it. It would disrupt supply lines for awhile, but the metals would be acquired elsewhere. Products impacted would include some semiconductors and military-grade chips, batteries (that's a big one), electric vehicles, and a bunch of other areas. We would be smart to consider and build alternate supply chains for the future - and I'm sure most corporations have already started this process. |

Thank you.so, the issues are priced in to the stock already, I guess. |

Today's magic word is...
SPACs
Even if you're not an investor, you should familiarize yourself with this type of company. You'll be hearing lots about them in the near future.
