@MassholePundit@MarcoFoster_@Shanemgillis@joerogan We pay higher prices because the Pharma lobby in this country effectively bribes politicians to kill any law that would regulate the prices on a governmental level.
This 18-year-old bought 20 sticks of DDR5 RAM for about $1,600 - plans to hold them for 10-15 years and sell at 5x.
Picked up 20x Kingston FURY Beast DDR5 SODIMM sticks, roughly $80 each with prices already climbing due to AI demand driving memory shortages.
The bet: RAM prices have cycled through shortages before, and DDR5 demand from AI workloads isn't slowing down anytime soon. Buy now while it's still relatively affordable, sit on it for over a decade, sell once DDR5 becomes the "legacy" standard everyone's scrambling to find spare parts for.
Total cost: around $1,600. If the multiple actually lands anywhere near 5x, that's an $8,000 payout for doing nothing but storing sticks of memory in a drawer for 15 years.
Not investment advice, just an 18-year-old betting that hardware shortages are a pattern, not a one-off.
Leave a comment below: Is this a wise investment? Could it be worth five times as much in 15 years?
People often forget how orders of magnitudes work 600 million to him is literally >.003 % of his net worth.
Last night I donated 20 bucks and it was a FAR greater percent of my net worth.
Coming up with the first sentence of a paper is like individually pulling hair from every crevice of your body. The cavemen had it so good just smacking blood soaked hands on walls.
