Tesla reports 20% Q1 drop in auto revenue
Brutal numbers from Tesla after the bell. As we all know, their stock performance is often decoupled from results. Little movement in futures so far, but curious how it’ll move tomorrow. Total revenue slid 9% from $21.3 billion a year earlier. Automotive revenue dropped 20% to $14 billion from $17.4 …
Thinking of selling all stocks and moving to Europe because I disagree with the current president.
Just as the title says, I have read some negative news articles recently (haven't looked into them myself though) and I'm thinking that this is the end of the world and we are basically nazi germany. I am going to sell my entire portfolio and move to Europe since its …
A way to earn that actually helps
My wife’s on maternity leave, and I’m the only one working—we’re doing our best, but it’s been getting harder. Prices keep going up, the baby needs everything, and I want to support my parents too. I tried a few online side gigs, but most of them were either not worth …
Why can't I buy a stock for higher price than it's trading?
I just got into a heated argument with ChatGPT trying to understand how stock prices are actually determined (and not just some basic explanation of supply and demand, I want to actually understand the mechanism). So I asked him, suppose a stock is trading at 100$ and I want to …
My Yieldstreet Experience 2025
I have invested over $100k in various PE style rollups in yeidstreet including shipping, art, RE etc. Yieldstreet has always advertised these as super well vetted guaranteed returns - complemented by an insurance policy as it has first party on the underlying asset. Well it turns out about 40% of …
How about some good news and/or growth drivers?
With all of the negative drags on the economy currently, give me some hope that this is just a dip and that the market should go up -or at the very least just go sideways. I'm certainly no expert, economist, nor am I a professional trader, or political scientist. But …

Liquid places to hold cash?
I'm holding a lot of cash in SPAXX right now to prepare for a downturn and to have funds ready to buy at the right time (I understand that time in the market > timing the market). The issue with money market funds is that it takes a day to …
Paul Metroman's best-in-class 2025 Portfolio's
I've recently been intrigued by Paul Metromans’ 2025 best-in-class portfolio recommendations for taxable brokerage accounts. In particular, his tables suggest that a 70% US / 30% International split, modeled after the World-Wide All Value portfolio, presents a healthy balance between returns and standard deviation which beats the S&P500 and the …
How bad has JEPI and JEPQ NAV erosion been in this volatile market lately?
Curious to hear from others holding JEPI and JEPQ—how bad has the NAV erosion been over the past couple months with how volatile the market’s been? Has this changed your outlook on these funds at all? They’re still relatively new compared to more established ETFs, so I’m wondering if the …
