That would be such a fitting end to Pedolf’s life

Well I could imagine that withdrawing military support for Israel would have a pretty big effect, but for whatever reason no American administration has ever even considered it.

SOXS is just the ticker symbol. You type it into a site like Yahoo finance and you can learn about the security or trade it at your brokerage.

This is probably not a good opportunity for you then. It’s not something a beginner should do. Probably I shouldn’t have brought it up at all.

soxs Is actually traded as a normal stock- they do the shorting for you. But since it’s triple leveraged it’s very risky. If you get it wrong you lose 3x the money of a normal short. If you want to learn how to short normally (single leverage) you can ask gemini, I’ve found it to be pretty good with financial training and explaining the ins and outs of specific trading platforms. But know this. With shorting you can go past zero into debt , as a stock can go up more than 100%, so you can lose more than 100% of your money. It’s not really where you should start as a beginner. Maybe a better way to bet against AI is just to bet on old fashioned value stocks or ones paying big dividends, as they are mostly quite beaten down now.

As OP of this comment, I fully agree and strongly dissuade anyone from pursuing the ideas I am giving.

It just means that when they final stop buying semiconductors to fuel datacenters they aren’t even building and the semiconductor stocks crash, SOXS will go up 3x for every dollar the semiconductors go down. Only problem is that no one can guess when that is, even if many are sure it’s coming. It feels like soon but don’t make financial decisions based on what some idiot says on the internet.

true, true

Short all these stocks of course. SOXS is a 3 times leverage short on semiconductors if you are feeling bold.

I never stopped buying my albums. For all the reasons you list. Fuck streaming.

Would need a ton of investment but at least ASML is also a European company.

There are a lot of cities in Europe that, thanks to AirBNB’s almost don’t have any people of the actual local nationality living in the centers any more, and just throngs of tourists.

There’s a point at which you have to ask if a city is a place to live and work and provide value to the population of the country or whether it’s just an open air museum. I certainly understand wanting to have it be useful to the actual population of the country and not just to property moguls and tourists.

I imagine, if you are in Bombay and have 3 children, that’s a completely different set of cards, but still there are so many things you can change.

Poverty begets poverty. Poor people are usually too concerned about the next meal to take time for big structural overhauls of their way of doing things.

Well I admire your optimism then! 😜

It seems you’ve never heard of unemployment. It’s a real thing and in many economies it can be above 10%

I don’t think it’s that simple. Entire businesses have to be started and upscaled for this to happen. If enough jobs vanish quickly enough, they don’t just reappear. The economy can’t react instantly to things like this, it takes years. And if it’s happening in all industries simultaneously it may not happen at all.

You think if they lose their job that there’s just a better job waiting for them? There’s a reason they took those jobs.

Aw come on, you can do better than that. If you’re gonna take the risk, make if count.

Just because Apple failed to make expandible hardware doesn’t mean if won’t still work for PC’s.

Hold on baby, I need to get out my map.
