How to buy SpaceX stock before the IPO in 2026? I compared XOVR, DXYZ, ARKVX and VCX so you don’t have to.
Ok, so I almost bought DXYZ last month. Had my finger on the button. Then I actually looked at the NAV premium, and it made me sick. Started digging into every other option and spent way too long on this, so figured I’d share. If you’re like me and want …
Stocks opened slightly higher after CPI came in right on expectations
Stocks opened slightly higher after CPI came in right on expectations, giving markets their first read on consumer prices since the Iran conflict began. Headline inflation ticked up to 3.3% YoY (from 2.4%), and core rose to 2.6% YoY, but the “in‑line” print helped keep risk appetite intact. Trrose, while …
If users stop trusting platforms with their data, the winners may look very differen
A lot of internet businesses were built on the same quiet assumption: users would keep using the platform even if they did not fully understand what was happening with their data. For a long time, that assumption worked. Convenience was high, switching costs were real, and most people had no …
Mixing investing and trading might be the most expensive mistake beginners make
I think one of the most common hidden mistakes is not having clear separation between investing and trading. People buy long-term stocks, but then check them like day trades. Every dip feels like a problem. Every pump feels like a decision point. At the same time, they take short-term trades …

Oil is up ~4% right after dropping nearly 20%… and people are already calling this a “reversal”
Honestly, this looks more like panic pricing than anything structural. Nothing materially changed. We had ceasefire optimism → price drops. Then headlines get messy again → price spikes. Same asset, same situation, completely different pricing. Yes, the Strait of Hormuz is constrained and traffic is low, but that didn’t suddenly …
MSFT Mixed feedback / feelings
I see a lot of mixed opinions on Microsoft, I had been purchasing and am now wondering if I messed up, I know it’s down, and to me it doesn’t seem that big of a deal on the Capex side, I see the AI benefits daily and am confident the …

Reasons are pretty straightforward: * US valuations remain significantly higher than most …
