letting things settle for a bit here before i unleash hell.

unlike jan 2024 when the market (in my mind) was clearly going to be bullish in the face of so many pundits saying the opposite.

right now? a bit different. shaky uncertain market, trying to get its legs for another run up or (gulp)

Waiting with baited breath for Hell to be unleashed.

How rich will one have to be to expand life expectancy? Will out bodies hold out? I just turned 50 and my knees are already failing lol.

I'm sorry to inform that the average human dramatically deteriorates between 50-70. For me (physically fit) the slide started circa 55. The good news for you is knee and hip replacements are benign/minor well matured surgeries nowadays.

In the future your genome will be mapped at birth, or early in life, and science will alter your genome to counteract thousands of diseases and maladies expected later in life.

Money is just paper. Health rules!!

All my best.

It's not so much "behind the scenes", it's the error correcting, cooling, cost, etc, etc. Initially these computers will be cloud based/shared. Eventually, 10 years?, the technology will be available on your desktop. The race to decryption, of our current technology, and means to re-encrypt so Quantum can't decrypt (That's a mouthful LOL) is what to keep your eyes on. I also believe genomics, gene therapy will be HUGE!! Life expectancy is predicted to expand greatly! That's a whole nother conundrum with actuarial tables etc.

I'll be watching down from above. LOL

Good time to start nibbling at stocks like CRSP. And others?? I have a whole futuristic segment of my portfolio that's marked "Legacy/Grandchildren".

Microsoft's remarks helped drive shares of Rigetti Computing more than 13% higher Wednesday, while D-Wave quantum surged 16%, IonQ climbed 26%. The rally was also fueled by Nvidia on Tuesday announcing a "Quantum Day" at its GTC conference in March.

Somewhat contradictory wouldn't you say??? Or who knows, maybe he'll tank them again.

10 year window for me.

Next subject!

[Madison]

Mad, I just ran the numbers. You have an EV of +52.8 more years. Plan accordingly.

Chuck ... I'm up well over 200% over the last 2 years, and I've got WAY more than $1,000. Even after taking profits I took a 4K plus hit on Thong's words. I'd redo your numbers.

[Madison]

• Quantum computing stocks rallied Wednesday following a directive from Microsoft urging businesses to get "quantum-ready" in 2025.
• The news lifted shares of Rigetti Computing, D-Wave Quantum and IonQ
• Quantum stocks skyrocketed last year, but have pulled back following comments from Nvidia's Jensen Huang and Meta Platforms' CEO, Mark Zuckerberg

Microsoft 2025 or Thong 2050. Huuummm!

Quantum

FK Nvidea and Jenson Thong. I hate these aholes who short the sector, tank it with a few sentences, and then use the result for a new dramatically lower buyin point.

Mad, will the fast computers be sold over-the-counter? Or is this more behind the scenes for Google?

Mad, as a novice, I'm trying to wrap my head around the Quantum computing. If it means that my calculations process faster on a new computer, that's cool.

The experts I've listened to seem to think that it can't (yet) crack the Nuclear codes. When you look at the number of zeroes to the right on Encryption, it's a truly massive number.

Some observers have suggested that Huang's comments might have been motivated by self-preservation, including TheStreet Pro’s Stephen Guilfoyle who wondered if Nvidia stands to gain “if the quantum computing craze is pushed out a bit.”
Gil Luria, head of technology research at D.A. Davidson, which has a buy rating on IonQ told Investor's Business Daily that "we believe Mr. Huang's comments may have been somewhat self-serving."
The analyst maintained that quantum computing will be a major trend in tech in as early as five years and poses a serious threat to Nvidia.

“The market is telling us something, and it is very important for investors to have a view on why long rates are going up when the Fed is cutting,” Slok said this week. Among some of the questions people should be asking is whether the highly unusual bond-market moves are related to worries about the U.S.’s fiscal situation, less demand for U.S. government debt from abroad, or a view that the Fed’s 2024 rate cuts were not justified, he said.

US govt has played games for a long time. Chickens come home to roost in 2025.

These charts are screaming for me to get out. I think gold will move here for a month or so, but then that too will be a sell and get out of the way move here. I am starting a short for energy as I think we see a tumble like in 2008 in that sector.

I guess Homie1975 would consider me as being bearish on the outlook for this year, but then again, I was bearish last year as a general feeling, and that didn't work out as I thought. This time however there is even more evidence of a top in the market from last month. We'll see and as always, the charts will dictate the moves I make but for now I'm looking to short and get some Put options.

I am pretty much with you Slurry which is why i sold all my laggards and stalling positions between the day before Thanksgiving and 12/31.

[homie1975]

Market sure hates a good job report lol

Yes, because a strong jobs report means more consumer spending which means inflation stays higher for longer so the FED has to be more hawkish on rates.


We have been on a sugar high the past two years after the rotten 2022 so the market is understandably very jittery and all that was sold was a fraction of the gains made over the past 24 mos since 1/1/23.

[homie1975]

We all loved Chico, but get recent.

we have had b2b 20%+ years in the SPX.

this is an extremely confused market right now.

because of that, i am building cash by selling laggards.

will deploy the cash when things settle a bit.

[homie1975]

Will never forget him.

$FUBO rip reminded me of him.

[Madison]

CHICO used to love trading $FUBO. he would have loved today's 250% surge after the acquisition news.

Let's hope we can get some of our old friends back.

Just took historic beat in survivor. Unlocking the Liquor cabinet.

Who lost? ATL?

[Madison]

MADder thank you!!

I have a watchlist and once i dip my toes in to these positions, i will share them one by one.

i have to have my own skin in the game before i share them otherwise i am just a phony, no?

if i share it, it means i have my own cash in that mofo.

see you soon !!

There was a day there were a great group of contributors offering great ideas/insights. That has clearly waned dramatically.

Our author seems committed to jump starting this dying trend.

Whoever is still out there trolling, whatever. Here's my challenge. Give us your most disappointing holding(s), that you have a strong confliction they have a strong future.

I'll start with:

LAC. GM backed Lithium mining. Thacker Pass. Waiting to double.

I'm very much interested in Gene/DNA therapy and Quantum.

DNA. Well backed and well beaten. Been on a slow climb last couple months.

CRSP. The future. DNA/Gene manipulation is coming. Once they merge Quantum power with healthcare this arena is just waiting to explode.

QaaS. Quantum computing in the cloud. This will be years before it hits your desktop but allowing companies the Quantum power without the need for the actual hardware. Freight Train coming right at you.

Let's go boy's!!

% Trailing stop loss Chuck, once you get overweight in any investment. Quantum has been Xmas X20 here, but it's years before real monetization.

Not exactly sure what that means. But I do re-balance, when I get over-weighted on a certain stock.

I take a logical approach. At the moment, one thing sticks out to me. Don't want to be held down by traditional holdings that are stuck in the mud.

[Madison]

Wow, I bought some RGTI. Will see how long the Quantum computer talk continues.

RGTI Just stupid. I already sold 40% of my holdings about 2 weeks ago. My CB like $3. Trading like $19 or so. Talk about a momentum tragedy?? Check out the 3 mo chart.

[Madison]

IONQ and AARQ continue to do well. They're in my portfolio for sure.

Gotta consider these technologies. It's all about staying ahead of the Cost of Capital. And so many stocks are lagging in that regard now.

I have been in IONQ for a while.

Just got into AARQ today. But what a day!

Most of my holding were down today. These were two exceptions.
