I am curious, is the Capital World even a serious play? Or is it a buy now for future gains thing. The price is concerning to say the least. So the US blockading Iran, who is blocking Hormuz... that should have been the play from the start, not a war. But we will be starting on the next rounds of oil prices going up.
I recall seeing that memory producers can produce more, but do not want to because they expect the AI bubble to bust and therefore have an excess glut. I wonder if optics have that outlook too because you don't want to be caught holding on to too much material when most companies go under and then be unwillingly caught in the dominoes falling. Honestly do not comprehend how the competition is not thinning out, especially with the fact that profitability is a huge issue that every company is kicking down the road and energy took a big hit.
I was looking at Parkway Life but it seemed relatively stable, maybe because it was in the healthcare line and has a different sort of exposure in relation to the Iran US conflict. However there were some moments when it slid when I expected otherwise, guess I am not cut out for this [Cry]
It is not just oil rebounding 3% that can be discounted as a minor plot development, it is Iran making things difficult and risking the wrath of the Donald. If somehow he believes that this is an egg on his face and that Iran simply will not obey, Mr. Trunp might just decide to press the proverbial button and "wipe out a civilisation" just to look like a big boy, then the jitters and gains now will look like specks of dust on the wind, so small and so inconsequential.
I have a lack of faith in Openai, and believe they will struggle to ipo with a bang. At work, the whispers are going around the Claude is simply better and that Chatgpt is coasting on being the bigger name and the first big player. But results will gradually speak for itself, as corporate users become the market that these AI companies fight for. Aside from that, there is the constant need to keep ahead of the competition, whether by buying the newest Nvda chips and further eating away at profits, or looking to improve the model (and paying the engineers? Or do they trust their AI to code its future iteration [Thinking]). Then there is the spending on energy to run data centres, to produce the results requested by users. And that part has been hit hard by the Usa Iran conflict, so is th
There is only so much users that can make use of these AI models all while populations are gradually shrinking in developed nations (who are more technologically focused and using AI as a tool), and you simply have too much competition to try and charge users a hand and a leg, or slow boil them by gradually cranking the prices. Then there is the factor of the media constantly keeping track of which company has the best model, and users are particularly sensitive about getting their bang for the buck, so if you are expensive and yet do not produce the goods, they will jump ship. In my workplace there are multiple subscriptions provided, but everyone knows that corporations simply will not be willing to incur overlapped spend on these AI models, eventually the head honchos will want to tri
I think part of Pltr success is the undue hype like Tsla, both have similar meme/yolo status in the eyes of a portion of investors. This factor results in the stocks being overvalued and prone to shocks. Ironically, both companies have leaders that seem to have questionable ethics and seem to have money as their top priority. Greed will always be fueling the gains, the unending want of greater wealth, even through unscrupulous means. (They are happy to sidle up to leaders around the globe, who have a lack of morals, and profit off less tax, and off human suffering. Pltr through encouraging police brutality and war, Tsla through poor quality and dangerous FSD mode that kill users, and musk creeping around dismantling democracy)
As expected, the ceasefire was fragile and Iran started to float the news that Hormuz will remain shut Does not look like the us president is taking action yet, but oil prices has started climbing again I would think if Iran does not make it work, the Donald will follow through on his initial plans after market closes in the states on Friday. After all his playbook is to splash good news before markets open for the week, and wreck havoc after market closes for the week.
Isn't that wonderful, any rally could be cut in half by another disruption, but the rally came in so hard and so quickly that investors might just want that to scrape out good value. I felt that the war had minimal impact, the stock market was waiting on any "good news" from the man in the white house, so it could start climbing. By the time the ceasefire was agreed, it felt like nothing too significant happened since everyone already was recovering. I wonder if the ceasefire does not hold, and the reaction of the market, would there even be a big slide The Hormuz chokehold will indeed not be going away any time soon, so what are we really rebounding so quickly for...
Assuming the vouchers was brought forward to help with cost of living issues, is there going to be an added round? Also diesel is out of control, the pinch is not only hitting industrial and commercial vehicles (delivery trucks, vans, etc.), but drivers who thought a diesel engine would have brought huge savings. The costs will be going up for everyone and will come down too slowly.
