Gaius Marius posted:VRchat had it's own meltdown a week or so ago, I;m not sure of the deets. They rolled out an anti-cheat program that prevented modified clients from being used, which wiped a lot of unofficial plugins/add-ons that did things people were pissed off the real client didn't already do. From the look of it, the devs claim they have to do it b/c people were using plugins to harass / doxx users, while users are complaining that a lot of their custom stuff triggers a ban now. Looking at how heavily people customize their stuff in VRChat, it makes sense that people would be pissed.

Give me some overlays or articles that lay out the most bearish scenarios that say we're in for a huge drop after this current bullish trend. Anybody see anything like that lately?

Wow, off on holidays for a week and stuff happens! Avalara (AVLR) got a buyout offer of $93.50/share from Vista Equity. Great if you bought it mid summer @$69/share. Since I picked it up at around $104 earlier in the year I'm looking at a 10% loss. Shareholders not happy, maybe we'll get a little boost, the price is low... Surgalign Holdings (SRGA) got a nice 69% rise last week. Still down 40% overall, but nice to see some interest in this. Earnings results after today, should be good. Nice range of products with increasing sales is always a plus. Vinco Ventures (BBIG) - oh lord what a mess. Already there was a "hostile takeover" and people were fired from the board I guess? Bunch of people getting in a fist fight over a turd. Oh, and Nasdaq has suspended trading @$.71/share. "When you guys figure out how to run your business, call us." And Cryptyde (TYDE)? $1.09/share. Makes perfect sense.

Yeah I suppose. Looking at "the great inflation" as federalreservehistory.org calls it, we had at least two major peaks, several minor troughs, but it never went below 4%. I'm of the idea that a temporary change in direction is good, but doesn't solve any of the problems that sustained high inflation brings

I'm of the idea that a temporary change in direction is good, but doesn't solve any of the problems that sustained high inflation brings Honestly this graph sucks because it's a graph of a derivative and it does a very bad job of showing what's going on in a way that a laymen can understand. I'm not blaming you but this is part of why the economy is so totally screwed up, the way that the media and finance people and economics talk about things like this don't even make sense to the average layperson, and are actively misleading. What's really going on is a function of itself and presenting it in that way hides the real story, the devaluation of money over time. When you see that devaluation against the change in wages the fact that boomers could pay for college by mowing lawns over the summer and buy houses and save for retirement makes sudden sense vs people being mired in student debt forever and renting forever.

*elderly goon in front of his grandchildren* yes he came in and said "yall buy RICK?" and we all didn;t know what to say. but i looked at the financials and the technicals and it Looked Good. So I put down money to buy one share of stock. And now, 80 years later, I can retire rich millionaire. Thank you Michael Transaction for suggesting to get RICK stock. My family will never go hungary again.

I bought more $SONO today. Apparently the last time I bought some was in 2019, so RIP paper gains, but I can’t help but feel like someone is gonna eat Sonos eventually.

Are they worth $2B to the sorts of companies who could afford it? (Apple, Google, etc presumably) -24% isnt a bad day to add to a position, but "this quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of -100%" doesnt look great

drk posted:Are they worth $2B to the sorts of companies who could afford it? (Apple, Google, etc presumably) Good question… apparently iRobot was worth $1.7B to Amazon. I can’t really see Apple buying them, even though IMO/IME Sonos’ AirPlay implementation is too smooth without some serious collaboration with Apple. Too premium of a product for the likes of Amazon… but weirder acquisitions have happened!

fun thread from an eternal optimist and growth stock investor. consistently positive/nice guy on twitter. although his portfolio has badly sucked rear end all year. after a summer break he discusses thoughts on it in a good thread: https://twitter.com/RamBhupatiraju/status/1558069029071425537?s=20&t=OjOReYWGHPkvjkTOGBeb3Q https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1558069029071425537.html from near the end, https://twitter.com/RamBhupatiraju/status/1558069057911398401?s=20&t=OjOReYWGHPkvjkTOGBeb3Q anyway, I thought some people in this thread would sympathize and maybe appreciate his "lessons learned"

Sold half of my Avalara (AVLR) - 55 shares @$92.11. A 10% loss. Could possibly get a bit more before the buyout but using my money elsewhere. Picked up another 371 shares of Magnachip (MX) @$13.39. You know what the baby chicken says? Cheap, Cheap, Cheap...

Baddog posted:To try to spur some discussion - my biggest gains have come from just a few picks, great companies with such a good idea that people would be almost dumb not to use them. Amazon when aws came out. Netflix (pre streaming, when it was just obvious that their model was so much better than blockbuster). Costco - better prices for quality items, crazy lenient return policy, people are lining up to get in (still!). I remember my grandmother got into Walmart wayyyy back, cus when they came to her state and she saw how much better they were, it was a no-brainer to her. Today I am thinking about how much of a giant pain in the rear end it is to find and hire a contractor for home renovations and repairs, especially for small jobs, who is actually good and charges a reasonable fee and shows up to do the job and actually finishes the job. Feels like some silicon valley UBER/Airbnb/Grindr disrupter type co could apply the principles of cloud, crowdfunding, gacha games, online dating, and blockchain to just explode this stupid industry wide open and/or violate lots of local laws and waste billions in VC money. Maybe both.

The "industry" has undergone consolidation and so there's the usual chicanery where bigger contractors who pay more fees and pay for advertising show up higher in listings, there are false reviews, etc.. It doesn't seem particularly valuable as a site to me anymore.

Angies List used to be good. I actually paid for it at one point especially trying to find contractors for my mom who lived in another state. BUT... as mentioned the reviews became untrustworthy and the search function was kind of poo poo depending on what you needed done. So as pseudanonymous said it's not valuable anymore, I'd rather use google reviews and not pay for the same fake reviews.
