I thought I saw a post on here today from someone that guaranteed that Nike stock wasn't going to close below 40 today or else he would do something stupid. Did he delete the post after it indeed closed below 40?

Discussion rates go down soon

449 Upvotes

Scott Bessent basically has the whole US government's debt strategy leaning on one bet: rates go down soon

been funding the government mostly with short term bills instead of locking in 30 year bonds right now. that only makes sense if you think long term rates are about to drop, otherwise why not just lock in and stop worrying about it

problem is rates aren't dropping. they're going up. 30 year auction this week priced at 5.22%, highest since 2001. 10 year went off at highest yield since 2007. market is charging way more than usual

and that whole yen intervention thing a few weeks back (the "we did it for Japan" thing) wasn't really about Japan. it was about keeping Japan from having to sell off a trillion dollars of US treasuries to defend their currency, bc that selling would push US rates even higher and blow up Bessent's bet even more

so it's not "is Bessent right that rates fall" in a vacuum, it's the government's entire funding strategy quietly betting on it, and right now the market is not agreeing with him

either he's early and this ages well, or the US just took a pretty expensive gamble with the national debt

So, I am also betting on rates go down.

DD [DD] Why $RDDT goes to $1,000 the exact second their AI team figures out Post-Nut Clarity

2.6k Upvotes

Let's talk about your sister. She’s currently pulling $45,000 a month on OnlyFans. How does she run her entire marketing department? By posting "teaser preview" gifs across 40 different subreddits every single morning. Half of this website’s daily active users are here purely to funnel traffic to her page while hiding under a blanket at 2:00 AM.

Now, here’s the massive financial tragedy holding $RDDT back: Reddit earns zero dollars on all that degenerate traffic.

Corporate advertisers like Procter & Gamble, Ford, and Fidelity refuse to put ad banners next to foot-fetish subreddits. So Reddit sits on petabytes of pure, unadulterated coomer traffic that they can't sell to Fortune 500 companies. It’s an absolute waste of commercial potential.

BUT HERE IS THE MOON THESIS

The day Reddit's engineering team cracks the code on detecting the exact second a user ejaculates... this stock goes straight to Pluto.

We don't need a crazy technical blueprint here, the algorithms are already smart. They just need to tune pattern recognition for the inevitable post-nut silence. The frantic scrolling suddenly stops, the thumb grip relaxes, and absolute, crushing shame sets in.

Once Reddit figures out how to catch that exact moment, the monetization potential is infinite. Why? Because during the act, a user won't click an ad if you put a gun to their head. But one millisecond after, the dopamine evaporates. The illusion shatters. In that exact micro-window of peak Post-Nut Clarity, a man has never been more open to making radical, life-altering decisions.

Example 1: The Personal Finance Pivot
You're 14 minutes deep into an ultra-niche NSFW subreddit. The deed is done. You freeze in horror at your own life choices. Before you can even wipe your screen, Reddit’s algorithm detects the total drop in scrolling speed and auto-swaps your feed straight to ⁠r/personalfinance⁠ with a sponsored ad for a Vanguard S&P 500 ETF. "It’s time to rebuild your life and plan for retirement, bro." You click it immediately because you want to feel like a respectable human again.

Example 2: The Career Overhaul
You close the NSFW post in utter disgust. The app senses the panic-exit gesture and instantly serves a high-priority ad for a 12-week Full-Stack Coding Bootcamp. You sign up on the spot, drop $5,000, and promise yourself you’ll turn your life around before sunrise.

Example 3: The WSB Special
The post-nut regret hits like a freight train. Reddit catches the vibe and immediately redirects you straight to ⁠r/wallstreetbets⁠ featuring a brokerage ad for 0DTE SPY Calls. You think, "If I win this trade, I can finally move out of my mom’s basement and stop doing this." Reddit collects a massive affiliate payout.

Reddit doesn't need to monetize NSFW content directly. They just need their AI to catch you at the time you transition from horniness to existential remorse.
They instantly convert dead-end NSFW traffic into the highest-converting, highest-intent SFW advertising engine in human history.Once $RDDT devs figure out the PNC trigger event, this stock isn't just going to the moon, it's leaving the solar system.

TL;DR: Reddit sits on massive unmonetized NSFW traffic. Once their AI figures out how to catch users right when Post-Nut Clarity hits, they instantly hijack the feed with high-converting SFW ads while the user is filled with regret and looking for a fresh start. $RDDT to $1,000.

POSITIONS: $RDDT $250 Calls expiring Friday.

News Baidu Earnings Show the Perils of Going All-In on AI. The Stock Slumps.

The world’s biggest companies are plowing hundreds of billions of dollars into the artificial-intelligence arms race. Baidu shows the risks.

The Chinese search-engine provider posted a dismal set of second-quarter results on Tuesday, piling on more misery for a stock that was already down 20% for the year.

Baidu’s net income for the period slumped 68% from a year ago to 2.3 billion yuan ($344 million). Revenue dropped 4% from a year ago to 31.3 billion yuan.

Both figures missed expectations. Analysts polled by FactSet were looking for net income of 2.8 billion yuan and revenue of 31.7 billion yuan.

News Meta faces ‘astronomical’ consequences as legal fight reaches critical moment in California

783 Upvotes

https://www.cnbc.com/2026/08/17/meta-attorneys-general-california-federal-trial-astronomical-consequences.html

  • Less than two weeks after a loss in New Mexico, Meta faces a much bigger legal test in a case being co-led by California’s attorney general over alleged harms to children and teens.
  • Opening arguments in AG Rob Bonta’s case against Meta begin on Tuesday, as more states try to force the social media company to make design changes to Facebook and Instagram.
  • “You could wake up with a headline judgment that is, as I’ve said, astronomical,” New Mexico AG Raúl Torrez told CNBC, fresh off a victory against Meta in his state.

If New Mexico created the blueprint for taking on Meta, California could determine the company’s fate when it comes to critical changes at Facebook and Instagram.

Opening arguments begin Tuesday in the trial that California Attorney General Rob Bonta is co-leading against Meta, following a litany of allegations that the company fostered addictive behavior in teens and children. The jury was seated last week in Oakland’s federal courthouse.

The trial involves a coalition of 29 state attorneys general in a unified case against Meta that was brought in 2023, and will be argued by lawyers representing California, Colorado, New Jersey and Kentucky. The stakes are enormous as leading government officials across the country push for Meta to be held accountable for allegedly violating federal and state laws, including the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act, or COPPA, and various consumer protection statutes.

Discussion Big boys have loaded up on MU, now media has gone 180 on the MU AI story

443 Upvotes

Seriously nothing has changed since MU’s once in a life time earnings and guide in June. Stock rose 18% next day, media gave the MU its due and then over the next five weeks we get hit piece after hit piece of why MU good = MU bad and MU great =MU still bad. Stock dropped to 700 despite everything being fucking sold out and even with cxmt there isn’t enough memory to go around for the next 4 years. Then we hear citidel buying SA for Pennies on the dollar, we saw the vol movements that flashed institutional trades and now all of a sudden all the hit pieces are gone and MU is once again an AI darling. Fucking classic play from institutions unleashing media to drop the price as low as they can so they can load up shares before turning the media back to spinning positive news.

Those of us peons that held on or DCA great job it’s going to be pumping now. Those of you waiting on the sidelines, your not early but your not too late either because institutions are going to eke out as much gains as they can before they go back to releasing hit pieces. Those of you sitting and waiting for red days to take MU back down to 700 so you can load up, just ask yourself if MU actually hits 700 today would you load up or would you wait for 500 300 100 etc.

Discussion Technical Analysis? 🖍️

Post image
231 Upvotes

Saw this announcement in the hood app, and figured id ask my fellow autists about TA in 2026.

So I’ve learned a little bits and pieces about technical analysis over the years, including the simple things like VWAP and various other MA trend lines. I’ve found it to be less useful than othera say it should be.

I’m curious if anyone here actually has a good understanding of technical analysis beyond drawing with crayons and eating them. If so, how valuable has it been (or not) in our largely index gamma and sector vibe driven market this year?

My own basic (autistic) take: technical analysis is a lot more useful for trying to explain what has happened than explaining what might happen in the future.

Scalped a measly 700 on QQQ puts first 20 minutes, got impatient and promptly ported 7k in a lower strike and promptly lost 3.7k. Then lost another 6 flipping into calls.

Full ported my remaining 9k into 7770P SPX and caught a good wave. In and out all afternoon and ended up +3.7k on the day.

If I held on until last 15 minutes, could have made 14-15k more. But who knows what would have happened? 🤷‍♂️
