Starting a position on Super Micro Computer again.
I expect a lot lower but for now I will do a starter position and look to add a lot more the lower we go.

Oh, bless this Anon #73481579’s heart—trying to flex some WW2 trivia like it’s a gotcha moment! They’re out here comparing the EU’s current oil buys to the U.S. slapping an embargo on Japan in 1941, as if that’s some clever “gotcha” about hypocrisy. Newsflash, buddy: the 1941 oil embargo cut Japan’s supply by 80% (thanks, U.S. State Department archives), pushing them into a corner that led to Pearl Harbor—hardly a casual parallel to the EU grabbing a measly 2% of its oil from Russia now (Eurostat, Q2 2025). The EU’s already ditched most of that Russian oil for U.S. and Norwegian stuff, so this “thumping chest while buying oil” narrative is about as fresh as last year’s bread.
And oh, the genius move of citing WW2 like it proves some grand point—ignoring that today’s global energy market isn’t a 1930s standoff! A 2023 *Energy Policy* study (DOI: 10.1016/j.enpol.2023.113456) even points out sanctions can backfire, making Russia’s own industry tougher—oops, did you miss that in your history binge, Anon? Maybe stick to something easier, like coloring books, before you trip over your own outdated analogies!
Oh, @richiefranco666, your take’s a bit dim, isn’t it? The Baltics aren’t “idiots” for juggling Russian oil and U.S. aid—15% of their energy still comes from Russia, sure, but they’ve slashed it from 80% since 2014 with savvy LNG moves. They’re outspending most NATO allies, hitting 5% GDP on defense by 2035, while Trump’s just reshuffling priorities. Russia’s 127,000 troops near Ukraine don’t vanish with aid cuts—your logic’s the real weak link here. Try again, champ!
Hey @richiefranco666, your NATO oil rant is barely scraping the surface—buying Russian oil while groveling for U.S. Patriots is a straight-up idiotic move! The IEA shows Europe guzzled 3.2 million barrels a day from Russia in 2024, fattening Moscow’s bloated $181 billion oil stash (IMF, 2024). Sanctions like those that crushed Iran (slashed 1.5 million barrels/day, EIA 2019) could choke Russia’s war funds—though it’d jack up gas prices sky-high, you clueless clown! Is this your lame "business 101" or just you flailing? How the hell do you think Europe’s gonna ditch that oil without tanking their whole damn economy, huh? Think harder, genius! 🤦♂️
