That means the peak is here. The insider of all insiders sold? Dump everything!
Imagine if he waits for people to panic and sell off and then buys back into the market.
In this case, I expect that the market is due to tank for real soon, so that would maybe be a stupid move, but it seems like in general someone could literally trade on the perception that they’re an insider (regardless of whether they have real inside information or not) to manipulate the market in their favor.
Who cares tho. Anyone who sells now still made massive gains. Only gamblers think about “potential gains”.
Anyone hear a loud hissing sound?
when you see the rats running from the end of the ship that’s settling a little lower in the water… that water ain’t outside the hull anymore.
To shreds you say?
Everybody remain F***ING calm!
Sooooo that gives us how long, exactly, until we dive nose first into a huge world wide recession?
Remove the rich
Nobody should be allowed to be a billionaire, put max caps on netwoths. Anything over 10-20 million should go 100% to tax
We don’t let individuals own nuclear weapons. We shouldn’t allow individuals to wield financial weapons.
Idk how this doesn’t make more sense to people. Eradicate Billionares worldwide, not just one country. Nobody should starve when Robotics are doing all of the work.
Sucks that even though I’m not invested in anything, when this pops I won’t be able to buy food. Thanks a lot, wealth and “security” chasers.

Can we get a TL;DR for those who hate clickbait, please?
From what I can tell, it looks like there are a lot of loans out right now, the rate at which they are issued has increased since the beginning of the Trump presidency has increased dramatically, and this is like really bad because If those loans don’t get paid back then pillars start collapsing underneath the financial system. Lose too many of those and the whole thing comes crashing down.This one graph doesn’t represent all of the bad that is going on, it’s just a sort of a weathervane to tell you which way the wind is blowing. …and right now it’s blowing where the sun don’t shine.
Soo… gold and silver then? No clue how crypto is gonna hold up.
Wait, crypto is still alive?
Thriving. The Trump Era has been gangbusters for crypto, as he’s made all sorts of crazy promises about building a federally financed coin reserve and stuffing it with digital crap.
Well, Bitcoin is down about 25% from it’s high a couple months ago so there’s that.
I hope your 401K is diversified because this will bring down a lot with its fall.
If it isn’t diversified, then you’re not investing. You’re gambling.
Does anyone 401k even let them choose what they want to invest in?
I have like 4 plans I can choose: Retire 2035, Retire 2045, Retire 2055, Retire 2065 and that’s it.
No options in the portal to do anything else. I can’t choose my stocks, any indexes, anything. The only other page is to change my contribution percent.
Yup, I have ~15 options. Basically:
- low cost S&P 500, US mid-cap fund, US small-cap fund, and total international funds (all under 0.10% ER)
- 1-2 actively managed options for each of the first bullet point with much higher fees
- 3 bond funds
- a cash fund
- a retirement fund (tons of bonds and cash)
I’m in a mix of the first bullet point.
401ks won’t let you pick specific stocks, generally speaking, but they should have more options than just target date funds. Most will at least have an S&P 500 fund and usually an international fund.
I thought we decided to not post stonks crap in here. It‘s what completely ruined the technology community over at Reddit before the entire site was ruined.
Unfortunately, these stocks being high are directly related to so much of the tech world being complete shit right now.
You see that is exactly the problem I have with these posts. You don‘t actually know if the trading portfolio of a mega evil asshole actually has any impact on the technology world. Stocks are just gambling and he could make the wrong move here. Like 90% of high traffic posts in r/technology was just random billionaires trading stocks at some point. It was utterly pointless.
While true, I gotta suspect that Peter Thiel, specifically, gets to peek under the hood before he makes his bets to a degree that most of us can only imagine.
Nvidia has near monopoly on semiconductors. Even if Nvidia stocks crash, they will recover. I just trimmed my own shares on Nvidia to cushion the blow.
Not really. TSMC has a near monopoly on the advanced fabrication, and ASML has a near monopoly on the lithographic machines TSMC uses. Nvidia is a fab-less designer. Google has its TPUs, and Amazon has some kind of custom chip too.
i hate peter thiel but i also hate nvidia and tesla so i hope this ends out somehow being bad for everyone
Oh, it will. Bad for everyone human.
My bet is that he’s trying to start a panic in the markets. That way he can clean up on a short.
Wouldn’t that be below somebody like Thiel? I mean, he is a professional and this seems a bit too much “amateurish”…
He believes that there is a bibilical antichrist alive right now, and he can stop it but also shouldn’t. He’s disconnected from reality so severely, he lives in a completely different world. The fact that he’s rich is not a testament of his professional capabilities, but to the fact that in current capitalist environment, the only prerequisite for being rich is to be lucky and have zero morals
I would say I am fairly sure its some kind of afinancial crime to uh, short a company you have a material position in…
But we live in ‘interesting times’, so… who knows!
… Maybe he had an ‘interesting chat’ recently, with Michael Burry.
That would be ‘funny’.
I think it’s cute you believe that we live in a world where financial crimes are actually prosecuted.
