@BramVGenechten Love the company. Hope the forecast pans out. Seems like a stretch, though.

@brandonjcarl Just like the Roaring Twenties. Only bigger and better.

@neilksethi It's natural for earnings expectations to spike on the way out of an economic slump. But we're now at a higher level than was achieved at prior economic peaks (1990, 2000, 2007 and 2020).

@wallstengine The suicide attempt of the 1970s, repeated.

@dailychartbook @greg_ip The words "spending on" in the chart headline are redundant and should be crossed out. "Spending" and "expenditures" are the same thing.

@Sam_Badawi Concentrated portfolios need an awful lot of luck.

@KevRGordon While XLK skyrockets. What a wonderful world!

@dailychartbook @djtgallagher They are. But when do they come down?

@GHadjia Smaller venue next year?

@RaleighPartners Steep relative drop for MA since late 2024. Is MA losing its growth advantage?

@fiscal_ai You mean drug company?

@dailychartbook @a16z Is the primitive market of 100+ years ago a fair comparison?

@themattharbaugh How is it that he can find them so easily but Warren Buffett can't?

@StockMKTNewz A wonderful monopoly, for now. But customers (think TSM) are balking at ASML's high prices. Unhappy customers are a long-term warning sign. If a realistic competitor emerges, they'll bail in a heartbeat.

@SchmittNYC If your mayor is an idiot, so are more than half the voters in New York City. They elected him.

@MichaelAArouet Be careful what you vote for. This trend was put in place by policy, democratically chosen.

@HedgieMarkets COVID was the real killer, with the shutdowns it brought. Funny we still can't admit that.

[Richard Band @RichardBand7]

@BramVGenechten @BenBajarin For every buyer, there is a seller. You should never buy without reflecting on why the person on the other side of the trade might be selling.

@fiscal_ai Not exactly the smartest thing for him to say after his stock had already been declining for a year.
